Chapter 39: Xin Yao
"Is there anything else besides asking for debts?" Lee's.
Xing'er looked at Li's expression, thinking that she couldn't tell Mrs. Xinyao about Miss Xinyao, otherwise Mrs. would be in a hurry, and her condition would definitely be more serious. "Madam, except for Julong Commercial Bank coming to ask for debts, there is nothing else in the house these days."
Li Shi kept checking Xing'er's expression, and Xing'er's hesitation just now did not hide it from her, "Xing'er, you are what I grew up watching, to be honest, I have always treated you as a daughter, and I know you best about your temperament." After saying a few words in one breath, Li coughed violently again. Xing'er hurriedly gave Li Shi a slap on the back, hoping to relieve her discomfort a little.
After coughing, Lee's face became even more ugly, under the candlelight, like white paper, his eyes were bloodshot, and there were crimson blood stains on the corners of his mouth. "Xing'er, don't hide it from me, what the hell is going on."
Xing'er looked at Li Shi and felt embarrassed for a while, at this time, Li Shi stared at her with both eyes, "Don't worry, I can still resist, tell me." ”
"Ma'am. Mrs. Uncle has already sent someone to the house to dissolve the marriage contract between Miss Xinyao and the young master. Uncle Zhong excused his wife from illness and drove them away. Xing'er looked at Li nervously, for fear that she wouldn't be able to accept the blow and fainted directly.
When Li heard Xing'er's words, she was annoyed, but it was not as serious as Xing'er's worries, she had already expected that when this incident really appeared, there would be no panic at the beginning. "My brother's step-room, full of only his own children, is regarded as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh for Xinyao's concubine. When the old man was reincarnated, the situation in the house was not like now, so she wanted to push off Xinyao's marriage and let her daughter marry Lang'er. ”
After a pause, Li asked, "Xing'er, did you inquire about any reason for my brother to make the decision to regret his marriage?" ”
"Madam, Uncle Zhong has already inquired about it, Wang Yuan gave his uncle 10,000 taels of silver as a dowry, and his uncle is still thinking about it, and his uncle directly agreed to Wang Yuan."
"My sister-in-law is really greedy for money, 10,000 taels, enough for them to earn for many years, no wonder my brother hesitates." Li's eyes flashed, "This matter is not so easy, the marriage contract between Lang'er and Xinyao has been set a long time ago, and now that the master is gone, they want to regret the marriage, as long as I still have a breath of air, they don't want to succeed." ”
Apricot waited for Li to sleep, then turned around and closed the door.
"Xing'er, how is Madame?" The questioner was Xianglian, Wang Lang's former maid, who was responsible for taking care of his life.
Xing'er saw that it was Xianglian and sighed, "I haven't eaten the white porridge all night, and there is still more than half of it left." ”
Xianglian looked at Xing'er, "It would be good if the young master could come back now, and when the time comes, Madame's heart disease will be gone, and her body will definitely get better." ”
"Who said no, count the days, Wufu has been away from home for a month and thirteen days, he should see the young master, I can't say that I am already rushing back at this time." Apricot said.
Compared with Xing'er, Xianglian is more worried about the young master, she has served Wang Lang since she was a child, and knows that he is cowardly and timid, and others are a little afraid when they speak loudly, how can they survive in the killing field over there. "Young Master comes back, that's the best, if you don't go back to the frontier, it's even better."
"It's just thinking about it, once you are in the army, it's not a simple thing to get out of the military." Xing'er said, "Is Uncle Zhong back?" ”
"Uncle Zhong has come back and met Miss Xinyao, according to Uncle Zhong, Miss Xinyao is in a very bad state and has already saved her will to die." Xianglian said with a wry smile, "Young Master and Miss Xinyao are really a pair of hard-working mandarin ducks, one lost his father at an early age and the other lost his mother at an early age, and the two can support each other after they get married in the future." But he didn't want Wang Yuan, a white-eyed wolf, to completely ignore the friendship of the same clan, and actually want to do this evil act of forcibly robbing the wife of his brother. ”
"It's not that easy, the young master's marriage contract was set by the master and the uncle himself, and now they want to repent of the marriage, and the lady will never agree. If you go to the official mansion, your uncle will not be able to eat and walk around, he must understand this. really came to that point, not only did the uncle have to bear the notoriety, but the brother-sister friendship with his wife also came to an end. "Apricots.
"That's right, I hope my uncle can figure this out." Xianglian walked to Xing'er's side and took out a small baggage, "Xing'er, I want to give these jewelry to Uncle Zhong to sell and supplement the family, but Uncle Zhong doesn't agree, you can help me persuade Uncle Zhong." ”
"Xianglian. This is the jewelry that the young master gave you before, how can you exchange it for money, the Wang family has not yet reached that point, not to mention that Uncle Zhong does not agree, and I will not agree. ”
"Xing'er, you are by Madame's side, you actually know better than me about the things in the house, you have long been unable to make ends meet, and now Madame is seriously ill and needs some supplements, but where else can you squeeze out the silver taels. I entered the house since I was a child, and my wife and lord treated me as a daughter, and I saw it in my eyes, and I was very happy to be able to do something for the house at this time. ”
Hearing Xianglian's words, Xing'er was silent for a long time, the house was in debt, and many places needed money, but there were people making trouble in the shops outside every day, and the business couldn't go on at all. The 3,000 acres of land in the house can not receive a hundred taels of rent in a year, and the lady is kind-hearted and does not care about those tenants. At this time, if the house sells jewelry, it will definitely be detected by those with bad intentions, and it will be even more unscrupulous.
"Xianglian, you are older than me, this matter is your kindness, if Madame knows, I will be grateful to you, but Madame will definitely not agree to you doing this, the reason is very simple, once the matter of selling jewelry in the house spreads, those creditors will definitely flock to it, and at that time, the house will be even more difficult."
Xianglian looked at Xing'er, she didn't think that Xing'er was younger than her, but she understood better than her, and sighed, "Xing'er, this is what I didn't expect, but I really want to help Madame, but I don't know how to do it." ”
Xing'er comforted Xianglian and turned to leave.
Xin Yao looked at her beautiful face in the mirror, at this time she hated her face very much, it was it that brought her the covetousness of a hungry wolf. Thinking about Wang Lang's greedy eyes, she felt disgusting and hated.
Touching the short sword in her hand, this is an unusually sharp dagger, looking at the blade that flickered with cold light, she thought that such a sharp dagger must pierce the heart very quickly, and it will definitely not be too painful.
"Xin Yao, come and see your wedding dress, this is made of fine gold thread, when you wear this wedding dress, it must be very beautiful, Young Master Wang Yuan will definitely like it."
