Chapter 17 Door-to-door accounting

The old marquis was in a good mood, cleaned up, hummed a little song and was about to go to a few of his old brothers to drink, but how did he know that suddenly a maid came and cried and cried about his palm pearl Jiang Qiran was going to find a short time to hang himself, and he was startled, so he hurried away!

As soon as he entered the yard, he saw his old wife holding his baby granddaughter crying non-stop, and several daughters-in-law next to him couldn't persuade him, his face sank, coughed, and asked coldly: "What's the matter!" Wonderful, what are you going to do! Your father and grandmother usually hold you in their mouths and are afraid of melting, is this how you repay them? ”

"Grandpa!" Jiang Qiran fell at Jiang Houyuan's feet, "Qiran has suffered a great shame today, and I really don't want to live!" ”

"What grievances have you suffered and told grandpa, grandpa will seek justice for you, why do you want to abuse your own life, say it quickly, who dares to bully you!" Jiang Houyuan asked coldly.

"I went to my cousin's house yesterday, thinking that I hadn't seen Jiang Xiaoyu for a while, so I went to chat with her for a while, and as soon as I got out of Taoyao Courtyard, I found that my jade pendant was missing, which was the piece that the Queen Mother rewarded! Jiang Xiaoyu stole my jade pendant, so I went to her to get the jade pendant back, but I didn't expect her to beat me indiscriminately! Jiang Qiran cried and said, "Qiran has grown so big, even my father and mother have never touched a finger of me, she Jiang Xiaoyu just relied on the words of the prince, she really regarded herself as the princess, and she belittled me like this!" ”

"How can it be!" Jiang Houyuan slapped the fruit plate on the table and knocked it to the ground, "He Jiangyuan is just a household servant to this day, and he dares to bully us, he is murderous, I will definitely ask him for an explanation!" ”

"Jiang Xiaoyu!" Mrs. Hou's wrinkled face showed a hint of doubt, "Isn't it the evil obstacle left by that woman ten years ago?" Ten years ago, that woman almost made us suffer, and now her daughter has come out to be a demon again! I have also heard in recent days that there is some ambiguity between her and the prince of Chu, saying that she has promised marriage......"

"Whether it's the King of Chu or the palace, there is no news at all so far, what kind of marriage is it!" Jiang Houyuan said disdainfully, "Don't say that she is just a little slut who is just a little slut who lives secretly, even if she is the princess, can she still bully Qiran indiscriminately, and no one in my house can be bullied!" ”

Inside the Xiaolin Hospital.

"The slave really didn't betray Miss Five, Miss Five, you have to believe in the slave!" Xiao Tao knelt on the ground and said pleadingly.

"You didn't betray me?" Jiang Huiran raised his eyebrows and sneered, "I personally handed over the jade pendant to you, if you hadn't betrayed me, would you tell me where the jade pendant went?" ”

The slave put the jade pendant in the eldest lady's jewelry box with her own hands, and the slave didn't know what was going on, maybe the eldest lady had long suspected the slave and maid, and kept staring at the slave and maid! That jade pendant must have asked the eldest lady to hide it now! Xiao Tao said.

"Since she knows that you betrayed her, why would she let you go, in terms of her most vindictive nature, she shouldn't be!" Jiang Huiran held her chin and looked at Xiao Tao coldly, "It can't be that she promised you something to let you stare at me in Xiaolin's courtyard, right?" Say, what did she tell you! ”

"No! Slave and maid wronged, Fifth Miss! Xiao Tao hurriedly kowtowed, "The slave didn't ...... It was the eldest lady who asked the slave maid to choose a place in Taoyao Courtyard and Xiaolin Courtyard, and the slave maid thought that she would definitely not be able to stay in Taoyao Courtyard in the future, so she returned to Miss Five, and she really didn't betray Miss Five! ”

"No matter what, this girl definitely can't stay!" The fourth aunt said coldly, "Since Jiang Xiaoyu found out that she put the jade pendant in Taoyao Courtyard, why didn't you take her to see your father or grandmother?" She let go of such a chess piece, what does it mean? But since Jiang Qiran has decided to make a big deal about this matter, let's just watch the excitement, don't get involved anymore, otherwise your father will be unhappy! As for this girl is a handle, sell it! ”

What Xiao Tao was most afraid of still happened, her deed of sale had been in the private hands of the fourth aunt, and what she was most afraid of was being bought into a brothel, so she had to listen to the instructions of this mother and daughter, and her face turned pale with fright when she heard the words, and she hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "The slave really didn't betray the fifth lady, really not!" Fourth aunt, you are doing well, don't sell the slave and maid, even if the slave and maid are cows and horses in the next life, you have to repay the fourth aunt! ”

A few mothers-in-law forked the little pottery out, and after a while, a small servant came to report that the old marquis had come to the house with someone, and the fourth aunt was excited: "I have long wanted to climb the high branch of the King of Chu, but I didn't expect the prince to look down on it, and now the master is rising step by step, and he has achieved the position of the household servant, and he is one step away from the household book, if he is involved with the Chu Wangfu, it will inevitably threaten the status of the family, and see how they will make things go, don't let me down!" ”

The old lady received the news and hurriedly went out, and the old marquis with the people of the same clan and a few family guards had already broken directly from the gate to the door of her courtyard.

"What kind of wind blew the eldest brother here, the eldest brother has been like a hidden immortal these days, please rarely move!" The old lady's chrysanthemum-like face burst into a smile, "I haven't seen my eldest brother for some days, go inside, let's talk about it in the house!" ”

Jiang Houyuan entered the hall with a calm face, and sneered before he could sit down for tea: "It's all a family, I'll open the skylight and say something, I'm here today to ask for something!" ”

"Oh? What else does the eldest brother need to go to in person, if you need anything, in a word, don't I ask someone to send it over? The old lady asked in surprise after placing the other people in the clan.

"The queen mother rewarded Qiran with a jade pendant and asked you Jiang Xiaoyu to take it, Qiran has always been a gentle one, and he didn't dare to speak out when he was bullied, if it wasn't for the fact that I found out today and asked him, this is not going to break his teeth and swallow his stomach. If you Xiaoyu have anything you like, Ben Hou is bankrupt and also found for her, who called her today's status is not ordinary, but the jade pendant is given by the Queen Mother, she is afraid that she will not be able to take it, and ask her to return it! Jiang Houyuan said coldly.

The old lady was even more surprised, and her cloudy eyes widened in surprise: "There is such a thing!" Did she really do such a thing? Come on, why don't you go and call that little brute! ”

She turned her head again to reassure Jiang Houyuan: "Don't worry, eldest brother, if that evil obstacle really did such a thing, I will definitely ask her to return the things and come to the door to make amends to the eldest brother and Qiran!" ”

"There's no need to make amends to Ben Hou!" Jiang Houyuan smiled coldly, "If it was an ordinary jade pendant, she would just take it, why should I make such a big move, and I also invited Uncle Ji to come with me?" It's because the stakes are huge at this time! What she took was not an ordinary jade pendant, but a jade pendant rewarded by the queen mother's ancestors. ”
