Chapter 18: The Five Girls Are Wise
Yao Hongtao looked at the scene in front of him with a calm face, and at this time, the three people who had been shouting that there were ghosts in the house finally noticed the arrival of the two, pointed in the direction of the two little ghosts, and kept shouting, "Ghosts, there are ghosts." ”
"Dad, I don't know what's going on, as soon as the sixth sister and the two mothers came, they said that there were ghosts and yelled, but I haven't seen anything for a long time."
As he spoke, he pretended to glance around, "Dad, have you seen it?" ”
Hearing this, Yao Hongtao's face became even more ugly, he snorted coldly, and his eyes stared at Yao Chang's and Yao Shu's mother and daughter.
At this time, Yao Changshi didn't have the time to pay attention to Yao Hongtao's gaze, she hugged Yao Shu who was trembling tightly, and tears kept falling, "Shu'er, what's wrong with you?" You're good, tell my mother. ”
Yao Shu was kept shaking her shoulders by Yao Changshi, suddenly came back to her senses, turned her head and looked at Yao Changshi in a daze, and for a moment, she murmured: "Mother? ”
"It's my mother."
"Mother! Wow! Yao Shu was frightened, hugged Yao Changshi tightly with her backhand, trembled and cried: "Mother, come to me quickly, there are ghosts here." ”
"Shut up." Yao Hongtao couldn't help but shout angrily, he had a blue face, and glared at Yao Shu angrily, "You open your eyes to Lao Tzu, where are the ghosts!" I think you have a ghost in your heart! ”
"Sir!" Yao Chang's eyes were full of tears, he eagerly interrupted Yao Hongtao's words, and stared at him dissatisfiedly, "Shu'er has an accident with the fifth girl, and the master doesn't seek justice for our mother and daughter, but how can you say that Shu'er?" ”
When they entered the door, Yao Man did not open the temporary eye of heaven for Yao Hongtao and Yao Chang, so they couldn't see the two little ghosts.
Therefore, let alone Yao Hongtao, even Yao Chang doesn't believe in any ghost nonsense.
But looking at Yao Shu, who was yelling in fright, Yao Changshi was full of distress, and decided that it must be Yao Man, a ghost girl, who had played some tricks, and her Shu'er became like this.
After marrying Yao Mansion for many years, she got such a daughter, in order to ensure the status of their mother and daughter in the mansion, she did not hesitate to risk being discovered to get rid of all the people in the mansion who could threaten their mother and daughter.
Among them is a seven-year-old concubine and two children who have died before they are born.
For so many years, Xiyuan has not given birth to a son, so she has been low and small at the old lady's place, she has endured all this, but now Yao Man dares to bully her Shu'er.
Yao Changshi glared at Yao Man viciously, looking at her innocent appearance, the anger in his heart became more and more intense, and he didn't care that Yao Hongtao was still there, and he was about to rush towards her.
"Mother." Yao Shu hugged Yao Changshi and kept shaking her head, "Mother, don't go over, she is the devil." ”
"Yao Man, I beg you, let me go, I'm not going to rob you of this marriage, okay, I'll tell you all, it's these two mothers-in-law, they are the ones who sow discord and tempt me to knock you out and marry you instead, I really don't know anything, I don't want to, can you seek revenge from them?"
Every time Yao Shu opened his mouth and a word popped out, Yao Hongtao's face became more and more ugly.
"Shu'er!"
"Shut up!"
Two voices sounded one after the other, one was frightened, and the other was completely angry, Yao Hongtao looked at the four people not far away, and a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes.
"You, and you, get out, get as far as you want, don't let me see you again."
Pointing at Yao Chang and Yao Shu, he turned his head to look at Chang's mother and Pei's mother who were hugged together on the other side and were frightened, "Come on, pull the two of them to the firewood room, and don't let them out without my order." ”
Yao Hongtao's personal servant, who had been guarding outside, hurriedly ran in with his head down, heard something that should not be heard, worried that Yao Hongtao would take him under the knife, pulled a person with one hand, dragged him out in a hurry, and did not dare to stay longer for a moment.
Yao Changshi didn't care about the life or death of the two of them at this time, pulled Yao Shu, didn't dare to look at Yao Hongtao, and hurriedly left with his head down.
Soon only Yao Hongtao and Yao Man were left in the room, Yao Hongtao looked at the smiling girl in front of him, and seemed not surprised by Yao Shu's words at all.
Looking at Yao Man's eyes full of inquiry, for a long time, Yao Hongtao hid the deep thought in his eyes, squinted at Yao Man, and said softly: "Say, what am I going to do, you can shut up." ”
A lady in the main room, a concubine.
Their Yao family can't afford to lose such a person.
Yao Man didn't take Yao Hongtao's unceremonious words to heart, and shrugged his shoulders casually, "What did Dad say, we are a family, can I still help outsiders?" ”
"But."
As soon as the words turned, Yao Man tilted his head and said: "I was idle two days ago and ordered my dowry, it seems that there is nothing left by my mother, Dad, is it possible because I was raised outside, so my daughter is married, and the Yao family is not ready to give a dowry?" ”
"Okay, I got it."
Yao Hongtao's face was calm, his face was displeased, and he only nodded when he heard the words, and he didn't have the slightest intention to deal with it.
"That's right, and my maid, just now Chang's mother said that my mother made me a set of jewelry, let her pick it up, but I didn't come back for half a day, if I missed the hour, it would be bad, when my father helped me to call the maid, I remember to ask my mother for her deed of sale by the way, after all, my mother gave me the maid, and it is not very appropriate for her to keep the deed of sale, and my father thinks this is not the truth."
"Huh." Yao Hongtao laughed in an uncertain tone and nodded, "The fifth girl is a smart one. ”
