Chapter Eighty-Eight: Privately Decided for Life?
"What?" Lin Wanrong shouted. He dragged his cloth shoes and ran out. What's going on, doesn't Mrs. love the second lady very much, why haven't you seen her for a few days, and she has become like this?
"Xiaoju, tell me what's going on? Day, don't cry, tell me what's going on? Lin Wanrong said hurriedly.
Xiao Ju cried: "I don't know what's going on, early this morning, I heard that Mrs. and Miss convened the following stewards. Later, the second lady broke into the council hall for some reason, and it seemed that there was a quarrel. Madame was angry and wanted to reprimand the second lady with a cane. ”
"If you break into the council hall, you want to hit the **? Damn, what the is this? Lin Wanrong scolded.
"Third brother, you don't know the rules of the Xiao family. The council hall is the most important place for our Xiao family, it is the place where the major affairs of the Xiao family are discussed, and no one is allowed to trespass without permission, otherwise, according to the rules set by the ancestors of the Xiao family, they will be punished. The second lady is not in charge of affairs now, and she broke in in front of everyone, so the lady wants to scold her with a cane, woo--the second miss asked me to come to you, saying that you will definitely be able to save her, woo, third brother, you must save the second miss. ”
Lin Wanrong was moved and angry, this little girl trusted herself so much in such a dangerous time, which really touched him. As for anger, it is anger towards Mrs. Xiao, what *** bullshit house rules, even his own daughter is willing to do it, is this lady menopausal syndrome.
After running a few steps, Lin Wanrong remembered that she didn't know where the bullshit hall was, and after a while, the little girl** would bloom. Damn, why did the Xiao family build such a big house, is it to facilitate field battles? For a while, I was in a hurry, and I didn't know which direction to go.
"Lin San, this way, this way." When he was in a hurry, the cousin young master didn't know where he came from: "Lin San, you must save Cousin Yushuang, I beg you." ”
Day, there is a life-saving person, Lin Wanrong can't wait to hug this cousin and kiss him, but it's too late to talk about anything now, so he hurriedly said: "Where is it, take me quickly." ”
The young master also knew that the matter was urgent, so he didn't dare to say more, so he took Lin Wanrong and ran to the main courtyard of the Xiao family.
I couldn't go far when I saw a small two-story building. The door downstairs is half-hidden, Lin Wanrong looks around, there are dozens of stewards sitting inside, Mrs. Xiao is standing with an angry face, and Miss Xiao is kneeling on the ground, holding her mother's clothes tightly with tears on her face as if pleading, beside them, the little girl Yushuang is lying on the ground, and a family's big board has just been picked up-
My God, Lin Wanrong was furious, and he didn't know where the strength came from, so he rushed forward, kicked the door open and said loudly: "Who dares to fight-"
Everyone in the house was stunned at once, only to see a man wearing a crooked hat and wearing oblique clothes, panting in front of the door, and the earth-shattering anger seemed to tear down the sky.
"Lin San-" Xiao Yushuang exclaimed, but cried bitterly.
A man in charge of the room stood up and said loudly, "Where did you come from, a slave, to be so presumptuous?" ”
"Where did you come from, a wild dog, spewing feces all over your mouth?" Lin Wanrong's face darkened, and she scolded without showing weakness. Damn, play tricks with me, that's what I eat.
The guy in charge didn't expect this person to dare to be so rampant, so angry that he trembled like chaff, and said to Mrs. Xiao: "Sister-in-law, this is a good slave raised by your family. ”
Sister-in-law? Lin Wanrong wondered in her heart, the master of the Xiao family doesn't seem to have any brothers, could it be a distant relative?
Sure enough, Mrs. Xiao hurriedly said, "Fourth brother, don't be angry. You are of the same origin as the master, my family's is yours', wait for me to teach this subordinate a good lesson. ”
She looked at Lin Wanrong with a straight face, and said angrily, "Lin San, what are you going to do?" ”
"Madame, what are you going to do?" Lin Wanrong took two steps and glared at Mrs. Xiao.
"Xiao Yushuang trespassed into the council hall, and according to the ancestral law, he was heavily responsible for fifty boards." Mrs. Xiao gritted her teeth and said: "As for Lin San, not only did you trespass into the council hall, but you were also noisy in the court, disrespectful to your elders, and you were responsible for a hundred boards. ”
"Mother, don't." Xiao Yushuang hugged his wife's legs tightly and said, "Lin San only broke in because of me, if my mother wants to punish me, punish me." ”
"I beg my mother not to punish my sister, my daughter is willing to suffer for my sister." Xiao Yuruo also hugged Mrs. Xiao and cried and begged.
Seeing that Xiao Yu was willing to be punished for her sister, Lin Wanrong's good impression of her increased a little, and finally their sisters still had some feelings.
Seeing his two daughters kneeling in front of him and begging, Mrs. Xiao had mixed feelings, tears rolled in her eyes, and he held back her grief and said: "Yushuang, although you are my daughter, but you trespassed into the council hall and spoke even more disrespectfully, according to the rules of the ancestors, you must be punished." Today, before the elders of the clan, I will teach you a good lesson. Come on, pull Yushuang and this Lin San down, and take a hundred big boards seriously. ”
Damn, it's really iron-faced and selfless, Lin Wanrong hated and respected this Mrs. Xiao, and said loudly: "Wait-"
Mrs. Xiao said angrily: "What else do you have to say? ”
Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "The second lady is a daughter, so I will take her board for her." ”
"Lin San, don't-" Xiao Yushuang cried and struggled, Xiao Yuruo hurriedly grabbed her tightly, and also glanced at Lin Wanrong gratefully. No matter what kind of person this Lin San is, his concern for Yushuang is genuine.
Mrs. Xiao never thought that Lin Wanrong would make such a request, but with him receiving it, Yushuang naturally didn't have to suffer, she sighed lightly in her heart, waved her hand and said: "Since you have this intention, then punish one hundred and fifty boards." ”
"Wait, madam, it's okay for me to accept this one hundred and fifty big boards, but I want to be famous. What you just said, according to the rules left by the ancestors of the Xiao family, you have to hit the second lady's board, I don't know when this rule was set? Lin Wanrong said.
Mrs. Xiao said: "This is the rule set by the old lady when he was alive, why, do you still want to do the opposite?" ”
"Haha-" Lin Wanrong laughed: "The rules are set by people, but they are also abandoned by people." When the old lady was alive, such a rule was naturally made to punish those who had ulterior motives, but now it is the second lady who wants to do her filial piety and carry forward the Xiao family, how can she be compared with those small people. The second lady is the descendant of the old lady, if she is beaten by the lady's board, it means that she is plotting against her, where does this put the old lady? I suppose that even if the old lady was alive, he would never want to see such a scene, ma'am? ”
Mrs. Xiao was stunned for a moment, and was speechless by what this family said. She had already handed over all the business affairs of the Xiao family to the eldest lady to deal with, but when she was discussing the plan for the survival of the Xiao family today, Xiao Yushuang rushed in and had a fierce dispute with the stewards.
Xiao Yuruo saw that her mother's expression was loose, so she hurriedly took her hand and said firmly: "Mother, you have already said that the affairs of the house, no matter how big or small, will be handled by your daughter. Although Yushuang is wrong today, she is also thinking about the Xiao family, and there is no great evil, moreover, she is a member of the Xiao family, which is a matter of life and death related to the survival of the Xiao family, and she naturally has the right to know the details. ”
Seeing that her mother no longer spoke, Xiao Yuruo turned around and glanced at the stewards coldly, and said coldly: "I don't know what you stewards think?" ”
This Xiao family has a big business, and all the stewards below are clan relatives, so the eldest lady gathered them together to discuss the plan. Miss Xiao is resolute and resolute on weekdays, and these stewards are a little afraid of her, and when they saw her eyes sweeping, they all lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to say anything about the fiercest ones.
Xiao Yuruo snorted in her heart, and then took her sister's hand and said: "Yushuang, since you are here, it is just right, you are my sister, and this Xiao family also has your share, so you can sit next to me and listen to me discuss this matter with your uncles and uncles." ”
Xiao Yushuang hummed softly, and secretly glanced at Lin Wanrong, her face was full of emotion and joy, she remembered Lin Wanrong's words, so she was not afraid of the eyes of the uncles and uncles, looked at the eldest lady and said loudly: "Sister, our Xiao family can't be a joint venture with the Tao family." ”
Xiao Yuruo sighed and said, "Sister, you are still young, these things are not so simple. As long as it is beneficial to our Xiao family, we will do it. ”
While the sisters were talking, the steward who had been scolded by Lin Wanrong suddenly said: "Eldest Miss, Second Miss is a member of my Xiao family, she entered the council hall, and we naturally have nothing to say." However, this minion not only trespassed on the forbidden land, but also spoke wildly, insulted the master, and did not punish him, which is really difficult to boost the prestige of my Xiao family. ”
Lin Wanrong saw that Xiao Yushuang was fine, and was about to retreat quietly, but when she heard that the steward grabbed herself, she was secretly annoyed in her heart, this Wang Ba is in charge, but I am going to make a trick, it's really not a fucking thing.
Although Xiao Yuruo felt that Lin Wanrong helped her sister, her perception of him could not change fundamentally, and seeing that the steward took the opportunity to make trouble, she glanced at Lin Wanrong coldly, but did not speak.
"Miss, such an arrogant minion, if you don't deal with him strictly, I'm afraid that my Xiao family will never have peace." The steward said bitterly.
"Lin San, although you are loyal to the Lord, your loyalty is commendable. But it is really difficult for you to convince the public by trespassing on the important place of deliberation like this, and you speak insults without punishment, what else do you have to say? Xiao Yuruo glanced at him and said expressionlessly.
Lin Wanrong sneered: "Miss, this Xiao family's mansion is big, what is the point of punishing one or two subordinates?" It doesn't matter what punishment you do, from today onwards, Lin will not do it-"
"Lin San-" Xiao Yushuang anxiously cut off his words, her beautiful eyes were full of tears, she walked to his side, grabbed his sleeve and said: "Lin San, you promised me that you must help my sister, our Xiao family can't collapse." ”
She turned her face to face Xiao Yuruo and her mother, a touching red appeared on her face, and she said shyly: "Mother, sister, Lin San is actually not an outsider, I have been-" She gritted her teeth and glanced at Lin Wanrong, and her voice as thin as a gnat continued: "--Private for life." ”
