Chapter 117: Conscientiousness
Jiang Xiu nodded, looking like he had been instructed, he patted his chest and reassured: "This is natural, I am the only man in the family, and naturally I am asked to take care of the old and young in the family." ”
Seeing that Jiang Xiu obviously did not fulfill his responsibilities, and deliberately assured that Jiang Aoxue's eyes flashed a chill, and said: "In this case, don't gamble in the future, I can still help you today, but there will be absolutely no next time." ”
Jiang Xiu was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Jiang Aoxue finally mentioned the matter of borrowing money, and he quickly explained: "This time it is indeed my fault, I originally won a lot of silver before, and I wanted to earn more, but I didn't expect that the last time I not only lost all the silver I won before, but also lost so much." The gambling house came to me every day to collect debts, and I didn't have so much money in my hand, so I found my sister from your side. ”
"Don't worry, as long as you help me pay off my gambling debts this time, I will never enter the casino again from now on, and I won't even touch the gambling money." He was afraid that Jiang Aoxue would not believe it, so he said hurriedly.
Jiang Aoxue really didn't believe a word of what he said, she knew Jiang Xiu too well, once Jiang Xiu swore so much, he was usually lying, presumably after the money was ringed, he would still turn around and go into the casino to continue gambling, right?
Although she didn't want him to gamble, what could she do? Do you tie him to your side every day and watch his every move? This is clearly unrealistic. I'm afraid I can only use the kind of method I came up with to teach him a lesson, so that he will never dare to touch this business again.
Although this method may make Jiang Xiu hate her, if she can use this method to help Jiang Xiu return to the right path, even if she is hated, it is nothing.
She said unceremoniously: "I don't care what you plan to do in the future, I just give you one word of advice today." We're brother and sister, and I don't want to see you borrow money all day long. It's okay if you want to continue gambling in the future, but I won't lend you any more money. ”
Jiang Xiu's face was a little ugly, he thought that Jiang Aoxue would speak more tactfully, after all, he was her brother, but he didn't expect her to speak so bluntly, in front of Zhuo's family, he suddenly felt that his face was a little unbearable.
But when he thought that only Jiang Aoxue's money could save his life, he still endured it, forced out a smile, and said: "This is natural, borrowing once is enough, and I won't borrow again." ”
Jiang Aoxue nodded and said, "Last time, my sister-in-law said that it would be good to borrow 100,000 taels, and I have already asked someone to take it, and someone will hand it over to you when you leave." ”
Jiang Xiu originally wanted to borrow more silver, so that after replacing the arrears, he could still use the money to continue gambling, but he didn't expect that Zhuo's had already told Jiang Aoxue how much money he wanted to borrow, and Jiang Aoxue didn't ask what he meant, so he decided directly.
He didn't dare to show an angry expression to Jiang Aoxue, he only dared to anger Zhuo Shi who was sitting opposite, he glared at Zhuo Shi fiercely, and the meaning in his eyes was clearly visible.
Zhuo shrunk his neck under his fierce gaze, and didn't dare to say anything, so he could only pick up the cup, drink the tea in the cup, and then use the cup to block Jiang Xiu's gaze.
Jiang Aoxue didn't see Jiang Xiu's gaze, she knew Jiang Xiu's greedy nature, so she deliberately said this sentence, so that Jiang Xiu could only hate Zhuo even if she held a grudge.
If she asked Jiang Xiu, it was inevitable that Jiang Xiu would open her mouth and take the opportunity to ask herself for more money, from the time she first entered the door, she saw the greed in Jiang Xiu's eyes, which was exactly the same as when Zhuo came a few days ago.
This may be called not a family, not entering a family. She didn't understand why her brother wanted to marry such a greedy woman, but in fact, Jiang Xiu was such a person, and of course she would find such a person as a wife.
The entire front hall fell silent for a while, Jiang Xiu was busy glaring at Zhuo, and Zhuo was busy drinking water. Jiang Aoxue looked at the scene below, sighed in her heart, and then said, "By the way, that maid from yesterday, brother, you should take it with you when you go back!" After all, she is from the Hou Mansion, and I will teach her a lesson, so I can't keep her in the palace for a long time. ”
Jiang Xiu looked confused, not knowing what Jiang Aoxue was talking about, and looked at her strangely.
And Zhuo Shi, who had been sitting next to her and didn't speak, instantly became smart, she quickly sat up straight, pricked up her ears to listen to the conversation between the two, and didn't want to miss a single thing.
This is the purpose of her coming to the palace today, not to help Jiang Xiu borrow money, but to see the ending of Cuiping, and now everything is as she wishes, Jiang Aoxue really took the initiative to mention Cuiping's matter.
Poor Cuiping, that idiot, thought that she could continue to stay in the Hou Mansion if she hid Jiang Xiu, but she didn't expect that all this could be carried out so simply according to her wishes.
She wanted to see what happened to Cui Ping, Jiang Xiu knew that the woman she loved had actually been lying to him all along, what would he feel like in his heart? It's all really exciting.
Jiang Aoxue was also stunned when she saw Jiang Xiu's reaction, she originally thought that Jiang Xiu would quickly admit her mistake of lax discipline, but she didn't expect Jiang Xiu to seem like she didn't know that there was such a thing.
Could it be that Jiang Xiu didn't know about the maid at all? Could it be that she asked Cui Ping to go back and tell him what she told him, and she didn't say it at all? Whether she took herself as a princess in her eyes was simply too lawless.
Thinking of this, Jiang Aoxue slapped the table hard and stood up, the huge sound startled Jiang Xiu and Zhuo Shi who were sitting below, and the two of them quickly stood up and comforted: "What makes my sister so angry, but someone bullied you?" ”
Jiang Aoxue's eyes looked at Jiang Xiu, and said angrily, "You still ask me what happened?" It's all a good thing done by your little concubine, she didn't even listen to my orders, so it can be seen that she didn't take me to heart at all. ”
This is a big crime, if it reaches the ears of King Yan, Cui Ping will only have to die. A little bead of sweat appeared on Jiang Xiu's forehead, I don't know what Cui Ping did to anger Jiang Aoxue, is she also disrespectful to Jiang Aoxue like Zhuo's?
If he can't borrow silver again because of Cuiping's relationship, then he must be good-looking after Cuiping goes back.
Thinking of this, a trace of fierceness flashed in Jiang Xiu's eyes, and it quickly disappeared. The most important thing now is to ask what happened, and when everything is clear, it is not too late for him to think about how to teach Cui Ping a lesson.
He hurriedly said: "Sister, it's not too late to explain everything first, what did Cui Ping do to make you so angry?" Didn't you get along well yesterday? ”
Jiang Aoxue struggled to control the disgust in her heart, tried to calm down and said, "What did she tell you after she went back yesterday? ”
"Hmm...... That is to say, my sister asked her to go back and pass the word, so that me and your sister-in-law will come to see you tomorrow, and that's it. Jiang Xiu hesitated to say while recalling what Cui Ping said.
It turned out that it was really as she expected, Cui Ping really only passed on part of the words, and concealed all the words that were not beneficial to herself. Does she think she's smarter than everyone else? Wouldn't what she had said be said in general?
Thinking of this, Jiang Aoxue really didn't know how to describe Cui Ping, she was really right, this woman must not stay by her brother's side, otherwise her brother would also suffer.
She pinched her eyebrows and motioned for Wanyun to tell everything that had happened, she really didn't have the energy to repeat what happened yesterday.
Wanyun naturally saw Jiang Aoxue's signal, she took a step forward directly, bowed and said, "It seems that my aunt only told the young master part of the matter, and most of the things were hidden." ”
Hearing Wanyun's words, and observing Jiang Aoxue's expression again, Jiang Xiu sensitively felt what had happened, and he looked at Wanyun anxiously, wanting Wanyun to answer his doubts.
Wan Yun didn't wait for him to ask, so he said directly: "Back to the young master, yesterday, my aunt came to find our mother, but our mother didn't want to see her, so she asked me to pass a message to my aunt and tell her not to think about the position of the young lady of the Hou Mansion and do what she should do." But I didn't expect Aunt Cuiping's maid to be like a thunderbolt, and immediately scolded the princess and the palace, and the slave was angry, so she directly found the princess. But after the maid saw the princess, she still had no intention of stopping. The princess dragged the maid down to punish her, and demoted Cui Ping to an ordinary maid, and asked her to go back and inform the young master herself, but she didn't expect that she didn't seem to have mentioned it to the young master at all. ”
After Wanyun's words were finished, she turned around and retreated behind Jiang Aoxue, standing quietly in place and no longer speaking. But Jiang Xiu couldn't come back to her senses for a long time under her words.
He didn't expect that the truth of the matter turned out to be like this, according to what Cui Ping's maid did in front of the palace, it was not too much to beat her to death directly, Jiang Aoxue only punished her a little bit It was enough to be merciful.
And as the master of the maid, it is very appropriate for Cui Ping to be demoted to a maid because of the crime of lax discipline, if this matter is put on other princesses, even her husband will be implicated, but I didn't expect Cui Ping to hide this matter from her for her own glory and wealth, and want to get away with it.
He finally understood what was the reason why Cui Ping looked so strange yesterday, it turned out that she had something to hide from herself, and she didn't dare to tell herself, so she would say such strange things and do different things than before.
