Jiang Man knew that Ji Hongwen was not a good person, so the marriage at that time and the grange shop given by Ji Fu were all taken care of by the people she brought from her mother's family. She also trusted those people, but they were full of their own pockets and stole all her things.

In this way, all the expenses in the house will depend on the Ji family. Originally, the old lady was very generous to them, and she gave a lot of money and items, and there was a lot left in addition to daily expenses.

But then somehow, I let Aunt Su take care of it. Aunt Su looks generous on the surface, but in fact she is very bitter and mean, and she does not deduct their things. She knew that it was already good for Ji Fu to help her, so she had to endure it, daring to be angry and not daring to speak.

One day, he came out with a cold speech at Aunt Su's and ran into Aunt Qin. Aunt Qin herself is a cold personality and doesn't often interact with people, but she had to pull her to talk that day.

Aunt Lasu's dismount is Aunt Qin's first step, and leaving Mrs. Ji bedridden is the second step, as for her next plan, Jiang Man doesn't know.

"You helped her poison her grandmother, what benefits did she promise to give you?" Ji Hongye asked in a cold voice.

She said that Aunt Su fell, and the old lady would inevitably find someone else to be in charge, and everyone in the house knew that it would definitely be the third lady. I have no relationship with the third lady, and she will definitely not treat me leniently, so only by letting the old lady take care of things can Aunt Qin be in charge. She said that she would give me ten thousand taels of silver every month in the future, as long as I was willing to poison the old lady. ”

"Ten thousand taels of silver?" Ji Hongye asked rhetorically, "Do you really think that the money of my Ji family is blown by a strong wind?"

Jiang Man didn't want silver at this time, she just wanted to be able to get out of the way. Seeing Ji Hongye's cold look, it must have made no sense, so he turned to Nalan Jinxiu and begged: "Brother and sister, I was just a ghost for a while, so I fell in love with Aunt Qin's way." I actually don't want to hurt the old lady, I beg you, talk to the third brother well, let him let me go this time, I will definitely keep to myself in the future. ”

Nalan Jinxiu has long known that people's hearts are sinister, and she also understands that people are greedy, but it is the first time she has come into contact with it for the sake of money. This, she argues, is unforgivable because life cannot be restarted.

"Ghosts can make you harmful, even you know that your grandmother treats you kindly, and you still do it to her. I can't help you, and I can't help you. ”

"I didn't want to kill the old lady, I just wanted her to be unable to take charge, so I didn't give much of it. Jiang Man still looks innocent.

Ji Hongye's face was as pale as usual, and he said coldly: "Although the dose you gave is not large, you must know that your grandmother is old and can't afford it at all." And whoever has such a mind is guilty of an unforgivable sin. ”

Jiang Man wanted to say something more, but saw that Ji Hongye had a few five big and three rough mothers-in-law behind him, and he came up and tied her up. No matter how Jiang Man shouted, he still took her into the carriage and pulled her to the Ji Mansion.

"Ji Hongye! I've already explained the truth, why do you still kidnap me? You despicable villain!" Jiang Man looked like crazy, struggling to get into the carriage.

"Are you all dead, don't you know how to shut her mouth and let her talk nonsense!" said the mother-in-law in charge.

Then Jiang Man was gagged with a cloth ball, squeaking, and couldn't spit out a word.

Nalan Jinxiu was still worried about the movement of this matter in the carriage, afraid that if there was any rumor, it would be used by someone with a heart. Seeing that her expression was slightly flustered, Ji Hongye patted her hand lightly and comforted: "Don't be afraid, I know it in my heart." ”

"Are you planning to take her back and confront Aunt Qin?"

"Yes. Ji Hongye didn't let go of the hand he was holding, and said lightly: "This time is different from the past, every move of the people in the house is being watched, and my father's backyard should be cleaned up." ”

Nalan Jinxiu thought again, because of her relationship, their father and son seemed to have been estranged a lot. If the third brother intervenes in his father's backyard again this time, I don't know if there will be a bigger conflict.

Aunt Su just had an accident, and Aunt Qin is like this again, in the end, she has been with her father for a long time, and she has given birth to children, I am afraid that it will be a big blow to my father.

She is most afraid of their father and son falling apart now. The house is uneasy, how can the third brother have the heart to do things? Although she knows nothing about the affairs of the court, she also knows that the cabinet is full of people, and it is definitely not a good place to treat. She is afraid of internal and external troubles, and the third brother will not be able to cope with it.

It turns out that Nalan Jinxiu's worries are not superfluous.

Ji Yao knew the ins and outs of the matter, and wanted to deal with Aunt Qin in the same way as Aunt Su, that is, to lock her up. And Ji Hongye naturally disagreed, Aunt Qin was vicious and meticulous, and if she stayed in the mansion for a long time, she was afraid that there would be disaster, so he advocated letting Aunt Qin leave, and she would never be allowed to set foot in Jinling for eternity.

The father and son had a conflict because of this, Ji Yao felt that Ji Hongye was now in a high position, and he dared to make decisions for him, and he would pay it back in the future? He pointed at Ji Hongye angrily and said: "Unfilial son! Do you think you can disrespect your parents if you become a pavilion elder? You kneel down for me!"

The journey of a person is greater than filial piety.

Ji Hongye is a person who has read the books of sages and sages, although he is not as pedantic as other literati, but he always puts filial piety first. His father told him to kneel, and naturally he had to kneel.

Nalan Jinxiu watched from the sidelines, and didn't dare to interject. She knew that Guillo hated herself, and if she spoke, he would probably be even angrier. However, she really couldn't see the third brother kneeling, so she simply turned her head to the side and held it on.

"Please come to the family!" said Ji Yao to the steward beside him.

The steward hesitated, he had been on an errand in Jifu for some years, and he really felt that he couldn't fight. Seeing that he didn't move, Ji Yao became even more angry, and angrily pointed at the steward and said, "I'm not dead yet, it's not his turn to be in charge of the affairs of this mansion!"

When the steward heard what the master said, he didn't dare to delay any longer, so he could only go to get the family law.

Nalan Jinxiu knows the power of the family law, the short whip is black and shiny, if you use enough strength to hit the body, it will inevitably open the skin and flesh. When she saw that Ji Yao was angry like that, she must not be light, and she was so anxious that she didn't know what to do.

She wanted to invite her grandmother over, but she thought that the old lady had been poisoned before, and although she had recovered some strength in the past few days, she was still weak. And the residual poison in the body has not been cleared, and she is most afraid of worrying and angry, so she invited her old man over at this time, only afraid that her body would not be able to bear it, so she was so anxious that she tightened the handkerchief in her hand.

The steward brought the whip, Ji Yao took it, and asked with a calm eyebrow: "I beat you, are you not convinced?"

"My son didn't dare. Ji Hongye knelt straight, his voice was calm, and he couldn't hear a trace of anger.

"Okay, I'll let you know today what you're doing wrong. ”

As soon as Ji Yao's words fell, he slapped the whip on Ji Hongye's back. This whip used a lot of force, and Ji Hongye's clothes were suddenly pulled out, revealing blood-stained skin, and he frowned and didn't make a sound.

"I'm asking you now, do you still care about the affairs of my backyard?"

Ji Hongye is still very stubborn: "Aunt Qin's crime is to harm her grandmother's life, to dominate the power of the housekeeper in the mansion, so disrespectful to the elders, not to abide by the woman's morals, she should be expelled." ”

"Good...... I see if your mouth is hard or my whip is hard. Ji Yao vented all the anger in his heart on Ji Hongye, and whipped a few more times one after another, and he had no intention of stopping.

Nalan Jinxiu watched from the sidelines, and his heart ached. She finally discovered one thing, that is, the whip hit the third brother, and it hurt more than hitting herself. She secretly warned herself in her heart that she must not speak at this time, otherwise Ji Yao would definitely be even more angry. But she controlled it for a long time, and she didn't see Ji Yao stop, and the third brother's back was already drenched in blood, which was unbearable.

She couldn't bear it anymore, ran over and knelt next to Ji Hongye, and said to Ji Yao: "Father is angry, the third brother is an important minister of the court, and he can't delay his work because of injuries." And if this injury is caused by my father's punishment, it will inevitably be criticized, and then it will be related to the reputation of my Ji family. I also hope that my father will think twice. ”

Ji Yao stopped his hand, looked at Nalan Jinxiu, the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, and he said sharply: "You threaten me?"

Nalan Jinxiu kowtowed respectfully, and said slowly: "The daughter-in-law doesn't dare, she just asks her father's subordinates to show mercy." ”

"If he really values filial piety, he should not disobey my will and want to dispose of my aunt. If I don't beat him today, he will be without me as a father in the future. As he spoke, Ji Yao started to move again.

Seeing that Ji Yao couldn't make sense, Nalan Jinxiu grabbed Ji Hongye's arm and said with a crying voice: "Third brother, you and your father are soft, let him stop fighting." ”

Ji Hongye saw that Ji Yao didn't stop, afraid that the whip would hurt her, so he frowned and said, "You go back to Jinyuan first and wait for me." ”

Nalan Jinxiu shook her head, tears fell: "I don't want it, third brother, you beg your father to ......"

Ji Hongye was also distressed when she saw her crying like this, but the backyard of Ji's house had to be cleaned up. He could have left it alone before, but not in the future. Ah Jin is the eldest daughter-in-law, and she is bound to have the right to be a housekeeper, and there are those restless things in the backyard, how can she deal with it in the future? This step has to be taken sooner or later, and he doesn't mind being early.

"Take Madame back. Ji Hongye said to Ji Xiaobai, who was guarding the door.

Ji Xiaobai was also thrilled to see outside, I was really afraid that the master's whip would accidentally pull on the lady, and the master would really hurt to death. He entered the house and said to Nalan Jinxiu: "Madam, you can go back with your subordinates first!"

"I don't!" Nalan Jinxiu wiped her tears with her sleeve, kowtowed to Ji Yao again, and said in a dumb voice: "Sima Guang said in his family that his father is kind and taught, and his son is filial and filial, and his father's hand is so heavy today, it is against mercy and righteousness, and his daughter-in-law is not convinced." ”

Ji Yao took the whip and narrowed his eyes: "Don't think that if you are a woman, you don't have to be whipped!"

"If my father wants to vent his anger by beating someone, then you can beat me. Nalan Jinxiu raised her head and looked at Ji Yao stubbornly......
