Chapter 170: Reckoning

As soon as Qin Niang's figure appeared, Tang Wan immediately stood up and hurriedly blessed her: "Sister." ”

Qin Niang frowned, she was really uncomfortable being called by her sister, although she had heard it for two lifetimes, she was still not used to it, and she was very repulsive from the bones.

"Tang Erniang, my mother gave birth to me, and she didn't add any sister to me, you are old, call me a sister, and I feel really uncomfortable, you still follow the rules in the future, call me a young lady." Qin Niang said, ignoring Tang Wan's stiff face, walked straight to the first seat, and sat down.

The maid immediately brought her hot tea, and Qin Niang fiddled with the tea leaves in it for a while.

Tang Wan took a deep breath and tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart, and then said with a smile on her face: "I heard that the young lady slipped a few days ago, and I came to visit the patient, but I didn't expect that the young lady would go out early in the morning, and I thought that the illness was almost recovered." ”

Qin Niang evoked a smile, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes, and the words she said were much more annoying than Tang Wan: "I heard that Tang Erniang has lost a lot of money recently, how can you still have time to come to me to see my jokes." ”

Tang Wan was poked at the pain point, the smile that was originally pretended to be almost unbearable, she was not only forced by Gu Chen to hand over all the hard work to the Tang family recently, but even her underground business was swept away by half overnight.

"Last time, it was my maid who was ignorant and did something that insulted Achen's reputation, so I handed over all the births to my mother's family this time, and others will no longer criticize the Gu family." Tang Wan said and smiled, "Money and things are outside the body, I believe that with my ability, it is not difficult to earn another family business like this." And I believe that with my help, the Gu family will go to the next level in the future, but you, young lady, don't need to care about those business matters, how can you still slip the tire? ”

What she said was poking hard at Qin Niang's heart, Qin Niang's face was not moving, but Qiu Tao on the side couldn't listen to it, if Qin Niang hadn't pulled her, she would have to rush up and tear Tang Wan's mouth.

Why is this woman so annoying, she has to sprinkle salt on the wounds of people who come and go when she does evil things, and she also insinuates that Qin Niang has no ability, so she can't raise a baby at home.

"Tang Erniang said this, as if I slipped this fetus and will not be pregnant again in the future, but you, before my sister-in-law is born, will your sister-in-law have a chance to come out?" Qin Niang said, she was in a good mood and picked up the tea and took a sip, the meaning of sending off the guest was already obvious.

Tang Wan was so angry that her face turned blue and white, and she pinched the handkerchief in her hand tightly, for fear that she wouldn't hold back any of it, so she directly pounced on her and tore her.

This slut, this is ironic that she is a concubine, as long as she Yang Qinyan does not agree, her concubine is not qualified to give birth to a concubine before her.

The identity of a concubine is undoubtedly the biggest pain point in Tang Wan's heart, Qin Niang looked at her blushing face, and felt quite comfortable: "Tang Erniang came to see me just after she got well, I was very moved, now, you have seen it, go back to your Wanxin Pavilion, remember to earn your share of the family business back as soon as possible, so as not to have no money and be difficult to do." ”

Qin Niang's last sentence undoubtedly ignited the last fire in Tang Wan's heart, she couldn't hold back any longer, and stood up from the chair suddenly

When he came, he snorted coldly and walked out with a handkerchief.

She originally wanted to come to see Qin Niang's jokes, but in the end, she went back with a belly full of fire.

Seeing Tang Wan being angry and leaving, Qiu Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "I'm afraid this Tang Erniang won't be able to sleep tonight." ”

Ridiculed instead of ridiculed, where can she still sleep?

Besides, her Qinglou is closed, so it must be painful for a while.

"However, she deserves it, doesn't she always think she is amazing? Do you think that she is the only one in the world who is worthy of Gu Gongzi? If she knew that all her shady businesses were ruined in the hands of the young lady, she would probably die of anger. As soon as she thought of this, Qiu Tao swept away the anger and injustice just now, and her eyebrows and eyes curved up, revealing a small pear nest on her lips.

At this time, Qiu Xue opened the warm curtain and came in and said, "Miss, the slave has already brought it to the eldest prince, and he said that he knows." ”

Qin Niang nodded, so she didn't dwell on this matter, and took out the card with Tang Wan written on it again. Qian Zhuang's paper came, Qiu Xue came up, and said with a smile: "Miss, I heard that since Lord Zhou was demoted, he would go to the casino every day to gamble, and every time he lost and was anxious to fight, he was blasted out by the thugs of the casino." ”

Qin Niang raised her eyebrows, but she didn't expect that the former Zhou staff general would start to dream of getting rich overnight since he lost his official position.

"Although Lord Zhou was born as a military general, he can also be skilled, but I heard that he is now drunk and gambling every day, and more than a dozen thugs in the casino are besieging him, and he will be thrown out in three or two strokes." Qiu Xue said with relish, "Miss, I heard that he has a lot of concubines in the house, do you think he will lose his eyes in a hurry and sell his woman directly?" ”

Qin Niang was amused by her assumption, and Qiu Tao also covered her lips and said: "Lord Zhou is also an official of the imperial court, even if he wants to, he won't dare." ”

"There's nothing the slave doesn't dare to look at him, after all, it's an underground casino. He sells it secretly, others buy it secretly, and who knows this? Qiu Xue felt that her speculation was very reasonable and there was nothing wrong with it.

The three masters and servants only regarded it as a joke and didn't care.

Unexpectedly, after a few days, someone ran to the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion to knock on the grievances, Qiu Xue went out to take a look at the opening of the teahouse, and happened to see the excitement, so she ran back to the house and said to Qin Niang.

"Miss, I really let the slave and maid say, there were several concubines and aunts missing in the mansion that week, and the families of those concubines and aunts couldn't see anyone in the mansion, and Lord Zhou couldn't tell where they were, so some people speculated that they were all killed for money, so the families of those aunts went to Jingzhao Mansion to complain." Qiu Xue said as she poured herself a large glass of water and poured it down violently.

"Was Lord Zhou crazy? With so many people gone, it's natural to get noticed. Qiu Tao smacked her tongue and said, "Although those aunts or concubines are half slaves, if the mother's family cares about them, they don't have to let them be concubines for others, such a person, even if they die, no one cares, how did they suddenly be remembered now?" ”

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that the aunt who suddenly came to visit her own girl's house is too coincidental.

"It seems that someone wants to take advantage of the gap in this casino." Qin Niang rubbed the bracelet on her wrist and evoked a meaningful smile.

As Qiu Tao said, if no one is in charge of this matter, then who will come to the door to find a daughter who is a concubine for no reason?

Besides, the concubine's maiden family is not a serious maiden family at all, how can she be allowed to visit in the house so casually?

Moreover, in Lord Zhou's mansion, in addition to some famous concubines, there are many nameless concubines, if these people are missing, who will care?

"It is said that the family who went to beat the drum and voice the grievances, the family surname is Wang, and there is a little money in business, if it wasn't for the fact that Lord Zhou was ranked in the third grade, the future is limitless, where would they send their daughter to the house as a concubine? Over the years, Lord Zhou has also entrusted the help of the Wang family, and he has a lot of money on hand, thinking that he has really lost so much that he has lost his family money recently, so he will sell his woman. Qiu Xue paused and said, "It is said that the dowry of the daughter of the Wang family has been sold. ”

Qin Niang's heart sank, since ancient times, the man who sold a woman's dowry was the most spurned and despised by others, and was the Zhou family really poor to that extent? If you want to sell the dowry, isn't there a lot of dowry for Mrs. Zhou Shao? Why use a concubine's?

"It is unknown whether these people were really sold, but if they are sued like this, it is very likely that the underground casino will be involved, and the government will order it to be closed down at that time." It doesn't matter whether the disappearance of those women was sold or not.

The important thing is that Tang Wan's casino can't be saved.

"Miss, you say, who is so accurate, we haven't had time to do it, then the casino is over." Qiu Xue said with a rather regretful look.

"You, it's not a big deal to watch the excitement." Qin Niang looked at her angrily, changed the topic and asked, "When you go back to Yang's house, did you bump into Luo Qixia?" ”

Qiu Xue shook her head: "Although the slave maid didn't see anyone, but I also heard the people in the house talk about it, saying that Miss Cousin is like a magic barrier, and she locks herself in the courtyard all day long, except for waking up in the morning and dusk, she doesn't go out of the yard, a few days ago Miss had an accident, and her aunt and grandmother also persuaded her to come to the house to visit her, but she panicked and said that she was not feeling well and didn't want to go out." ”

The aunt and grandmother that Qiu Xue said was Luo Qixia's mother Yang, and the Yang family wanted Luo Qixia to take the opportunity to come to the house to walk around more, thinking about the fighting arts conference of the Wenqu Academy, but Luo Qixia didn't want to come, presumably because she was weak-hearted.

With this courage, he dares to learn from others to do bad things!

"Miss, do you want the slave to climb over the wall in the middle of the night to go to her yard to scare her?" Qiu Xue looked at Qin Niang with sparkling eyes and asked.

To be honest, just let that woman go, they are really unwilling, even if they make her ugly at the art fair a few days later, it will not be enough for them to collect interest.

Luo Qixia has done such a big bad thing, she has to be condemned by her conscience more and have more nightmares.

"With your little effort, you have to go back over the wall, if my eldest brother finds out and catches you, how are you going to explain?" Qin Niang glanced at her angrily, this matter, before she solved Luo Qixia with her own hands, she didn't want the Yang family to know.
