Qiao Ningdai, who returned in vain, was not disappointed, because she thought of another way out, but she was still hesitating whether to ask the second prince for this matter.

Ask for it, it is bound to tell the second prince that she failed to pick up Qiao Yixi, she can imagine the attitude of the second prince next, as well as the attitude of other people in the prince's mansion, don't ask for it, if something happens, not only she can't afford it, but the second prince can't afford it either.

After thinking about it, Qiao Ningdai reported to the second prince on the grounds of going home to visit her mother, and returned to the Qiao family's second house in the capital.

When Bi Cuiqiu heard the maid's report, she first stood up excitedly, then thought of something, and frowned worriedly.

It wasn't until she saw Qiao Ningdai come in with the maid that Bi Cuiqiu breathed a sigh of relief, "Why do you want to come back today?" ”

"Mother, my daughter is coming back today because she has something to discuss with you and her father."

"Your father is still in the 'Shu Embroidery Building', during this time, the industry that your father helped the second prince take care of has been suppressed to varying degrees, and the other party does not hide his identity, all of them are the people of the Third Highness, among them, your fourth uncle rushed to the front, at the beginning, your father also took into account the brotherly feelings, and showed mercy to your fourth uncle everywhere, but your fourth uncle not only did not appreciate it, but also pressed everywhere, and now, it is even more involved in the 'Shu Embroidery Building'."

"Daddy is just too kind-hearted."

"Isn't it just kind-hearted," Bi Cuiqiu complained, "Your father thinks about family affection, but people don't do it at all!" In the past few days, your father has been spent in the 'Shu Embroidery Building', and if you continue like this, I am afraid that you will not be able to explain to the Second Highness. ”

That's what worries her the most.

The daughter is now the concubine of the second prince, whether she can be favored, in addition to her daughter's own ability, the most important thing is her mother's ability.

If the second master does not do well, it will not only affect his daughter, but also make their efforts over the years in vain.

The worry on her face was still there, and when she spoke again, Bi Cuiqiu tried her best to keep her tone gentle, "I have already asked someone to inform your father, and I will talk about it when your father comes back." ”

Qiao Ningdai could only nod her head.

During this time, Second Master Qiao couldn't wait to eat, drink, and Lazar in the "Shu Embroidery Building", and there was no progress in the "Shu Embroidery Building", and he was more anxious than anyone else.

Therefore, when the little servant came to report that Qiao Ningdai had returned to Qiao's house, his first reaction was that there was a new order from the second prince's side!

Hurriedly rushed back to the house, he didn't bother to take a sip of tea, and asked directly, "Is there any order from His Highness?" ”

Qiao Ningdai comforted: "Don't worry, Daddy, Your Highness, my daughter can still help and delay for a few days." My daughter is coming back today because she wants to discuss something with you. ”

"What's the matter?"

"That's the case," Qiao Ningdai said calmly, "Because the Second Highness's industry has been suppressed during this time, we have put our mind on Qiao Lixi. My daughter went to Qiao Yixi for tea a while ago, thinking about our sisters, she had such a big thing with the Feng family, I, as a sister, should be concerned about two sentences. When chatting, the daughter thought that Qiao Lixi was also the eldest daughter-in-law of the Dingguo Marquis Mansion, although she had a lot of property in her hands, how could she sit and eat empty? How can the Qiao family say that it is also a family of businessmen, the children of the Qiao family are all business experts, Qiao Lixi has such a good advantage, why not make good use of it? That's why I thought that the two of us sisters would do business together. ”

"Jojo agreed?" Bi Cuiqiu's face was happy.

Qiao Ningdai's face was dark and calm, "Qiao Lixi didn't know what to do, not only rejected her daughter, but also humiliated her daughter. ”

"How can it be!" Bi Cuiqiu slapped the table hard.

In other words, in the past, Second Master Qiao would also reprimand a few words in agreement, but now he really didn't have the patience to listen to Qiao Ningdai's words, and asked directly: "So, when you come back today, what do you have to discuss with us?" ”

"Before, my daughter made a package ticket to His Royal Highness, and now it's like this, His Highness's daughter can't explain it, and besides, Daddy's side is also in a bad situation, His Royal Highness is dissatisfied with us, and it will be very troublesome, so my daughter thinks of a way, which is very troublesome."

"What's the method, what's the trouble?"

……

Dingguo Marquis's Mansion.

Feng Shi looked at the few silver tickets in his hand, and his cheeks were bitten painfully.

This is the 200,000 taels of silver that she sold most of the jewelry and antiques to get together, and all of them were given to Qiao Lixi, she was unwilling.

Glancing at Chang Yulian who was sitting on the side, Feng said coldly: "You send the silver ticket over and ask Qiao Lixi to write me a receipt." ”

"Yes, mother." Chang Yulian hurriedly responded.

But the Feng family didn't plan to just forget it, "You have been married into the Hou Mansion for so long, I will not only hand over the middle feed to you, but also let you take care of the second room with confidence, and now that the Hou Mansion has an accident, you should also do your filial piety." ”

So, this is the idea of beating her dowry?

Chang Yulian's face was terrified, "Mother, something happened to the Hou Mansion, the daughter-in-law is as anxious as the second master, and the master has also thought of a lot of ways to make up money these days." But on the side of the Third Highness, the battle with the Second Highness has intensified recently. Some time ago, the Second Highness moved a few shops under the name of the Third Highness, and the Third Highness suffered heavy losses, and now, the Third Highness has taken out more than half of the manpower and financial resources to suppress the Second Highness, and now it is a critical moment, and the daughter-in-law really can't take out the extra silver here. ”

"It's so serious, why haven't you heard Brother Xuan mention it?"

"Mother, the second master doesn't want to worry about you and your father because of these things, and now that the Hou Mansion is in this situation, the second master wants to bear it himself. If it hadn't been mentioned by the mother today, the daughter-in-law would not have said it. The daughter-in-law has already given 50,000 taels to the second master in the past two months. ”

Feng nodded slightly.

Chang Yulian's dowry list, she has seen it, how much the things on it are worth, and how much Chang Yulian's dowry shop earns every month, she doesn't say all the clear, but she can also estimate the approximate amount, this amount should be Chang Yulian sold the things in the dowry.

"Take Brother Xuan'er's affairs first, here in the Hou Mansion, I'll think of a way."

"Mother, don't worry, the daughter-in-law knows that the second master is the husband of the daughter-in-law, only the second master is good, and our room is good, so the daughter-in-law will definitely do her best to help the second master."

Feng nodded with satisfaction, looked at the silver ticket on the table, and hesitated, "Otherwise, you can give the 200,000 taels of silver ticket directly to Brother Xuan and let him use it in the appropriate place." ”

"Mother, the second master has already instructed his daughter-in-law, what should be given to the sister-in-law, we give her a lot of copper plates, especially now, during the critical period, how many pairs of eyes are looking at us outside, and if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, in case the sister-in-law grabs the pigtail and publicizes it, it is not good for us. The Third Highness is now in an eventful time, and if you can do less, you will have one less thing. ”

Feng Shi glanced at Chang Yulian a few more times, "If you really think about Brother Xuan, I am naturally happy as a mother-in-law, but if you take this opportunity to think about what Xiao shouldn't think, don't blame me for being ruthless as a mother-in-law!" ”

"Mother, you think too much, the daughter-in-law is now the person in the second room, and everything is focused on the second master."

"I hope so!"

With Feng's warning, Chang Yulian sent the silver ticket to the "Wutong Pavilion".

The first time I entered the "Wutong Pavilion", I looked at the extravagant flowers and trees in the yard, and said that I didn't envy it was fake.

Although Qiao Lixi is just a businesswoman, silver is a good thing, no matter how big the power is, she has to eat and socialize, and it is really difficult to move an inch without silver.

Chang Yulian didn't stay in the "Wutong Pavilion" for too long, she just came to deliver the silver ticket, and she didn't have much to say to Qiao Lixi, and she was afraid that the longer she stayed here, the stronger the jealousy in her heart became!

took the maid to the door of the second courtyard of the "Wutong Pavilion", and out of nowhere, a little maid hurriedly came out of nowhere, and crashed straight into Chang Yulian, and the two fell to the ground together, because of inertia, Chang Yulian was still pressed below.

"It hurts!" In a dizziness, Chang Yulian only felt that her elbow was numb in pain, and something slashed across her palm, she subconsciously clenched it and clenched it into a fist.

"Second grandma!" The maid panicked, dragged away the person who was pressing on Chang Yulian, and carefully supported Chang Yulian.

Chang Yulian was still panting, and her head was blank.

The little maid who knocked her down knelt on the ground and kowtowed vigorously.

The maid beside Chang Yulian was unrelenting, "Are you the maid of 'Wutong Pavilion'?" Is it someone close to the big grandma? ”

It must be that Qiao Yixi didn't like the young lady, relying on the fact that this was the "Wutong Pavilion", and instructed the maid to deliberately knock down the young lady!

The little maid kneeling on the ground trembled, "Second grandma, the slave didn't mean it, the slave didn't have long eyes, and she collided with the second grandma!" Ask the second grandmother for forgiveness, the slave maid is the maid next to Aunt Juan, and has nothing to do with the eldest grandmother. ”

"Aunt Juan?" In a daze, Chang Yulian glanced at the little maid, her head was still dizzy, and she didn't see the little maid's appearance clearly.

"A maid next to an aunt dares to collide with the second grandmother, do you just have no eyes? I don't have long eyes, why do you keep you? The maid protected the short, supported Chang Yulian, squatted on the ground and questioned.

The little maid was so frightened that she couldn't do it, "I beg the second grandmother for forgiveness, the slave and the maid really don't have a heart, the slave doesn't know that the second grandmother is there, and the slave and the maid really don't mean it!" ”

The little maid kowtowed loudly, and Chang Yulian clearly saw that her forehead was oozing blood.

"Okay, stop kowtowing." Chang Yulian finally stopped the little maid's self-harm and apologized.

"Second grandmother, the slave and maid help you up."

Feeling that Chang Yulian had regained her strength, the maid tried to help her up.

"Second grandma, are you hurt?" The maid asked while confirming Chang Yulian's situation.

Chang Yulian moved her ankles carefully, not moving much, and she didn't even move the skirt.

"Okay, I'm fine."

"Second grandma, this person ......" According to the maid's understanding of Chang Yulian, this matter will definitely not be good, and it is not easy to seize the opportunity to make Qiao Lixi anxious, how can they let it go?

During this time, Madame has been looking at Miss unpleasantly, as long as they help Madame vent her evil anger, Miss's pressure will be much easier.

Be sure to take advantage of the opportunity to deliver to your door!
