Chapter 554: Mrs. Hou's maid

"Mother, how much do you have in your hand now?" Zhong Lang is not as big as her sister, and when she saw that his mother's face was wrong, she chuckled in her heart.

Aunt Wei was stumbling and speechless in front of her two children.

Zhong Lang's face sank, and his voice became a little louder: "Mother, are you still unwilling to tell the truth?" If you can't make up for it within three days, you will go to jail, the eldest brother is not a soft-hearted person, and the money will still have to be recovered at that time. ”

Zhong Yin's face was pale after hearing this: "Big brother is really, I didn't expect him to be so ruthless." ”

Zhong Lang thought of what his mother had done to his eldest brother and eldest sister for so many years, if it was him, he might not have endured it for so many years! But it was precisely because he had endured it for so many years that his mother's heart became bigger and bigger, so that she almost went to hell all of a sudden.

At this moment, he had to wonder if all this was intentional by Zhong Jue.

However, Zhong Lang himself didn't want to think about it, if Aunt Wei was not so scheming at the beginning, she didn't hurt others or was greedy, even if Zhong Jue had a thousand means, she wouldn't be able to hurt Aunt Wei.

"Say, how much cash do you have in your hands now?" Zhong Lang was impatient and roared.

Aunt Wei was taken aback, she didn't dare to look directly at her son, and then whispered, "Thirty thousand taels." ”

"What did you say?" Zhong Lang's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe the news.

Zhong Yin couldn't help but look at her in surprise: "Mother, didn't the eldest brother say that he had a deficit of 100,000 taels?" There are also some antique calligraphy and paintings worth more than 100,000 taels? ”

Faced with the accusations of the two children, Aunt Wei cried again: "What do you two know? I'm an aunt, and you're all concubines, I don't spend a little more money, do you have such a good life? Lang'er, where do you think your Hui Mo and Duan Yan came from? And Yin'er, which of your jewelry is not fashionable? ”

Zhong Yin was a little embarrassed when she heard this, but Zhong Lang was not as simple as Aunt Wei said: "Mother, haven't you told me the truth until now?" My pen, ink, paper, inkstone and Yin'er's jewelry can not be used for more than 100,000 taels of silver, what does the eldest brother mean when he says that my uncle takes our family's things and sells them without sale? Did you use that money to help Wei's family? ”

Aunt Wei's eyes flashed and she didn't speak, obviously acquiescing.

Zhong Yin couldn't sit still, and looked at her mother scoldingly: "Mother, are you stupid, the Wei family is a bottomless pit, don't you know how greedy their family is?" ”

Aunt Wei listened to her son's accusation and wept silently: "What can I do, that's my mother's family, that's my own brother, can I watch them suffer?" ”

"Suffering? Where is their Wei family suffering? More than 100,000 taels of silver, mother, ask yourself, can so many people in our Zhong family spend 100,000 taels of silver in three years? Zhong Lang gritted his teeth, thinking that he was stupid and a little hateful.

"I'll go find them and get them back." He stood up and said with a grim face.

Aunt Wei grabbed her son's sleeve: "Lang'er, can't you not go?" How can there be a reason to get back what you send out? Where do you let your mother's face go? ”

"Face? You're going to jail, and you're still thinking about your face? Zhong Lang asked again, "Mother, tell me a real number, how many things have you given to your uncle's family for so many years?" ”

Aunt Wei was silent for a while, but still didn't speak.

Zhong Lang smiled angrily: "Okay, if you don't say yes, then I'll have a big deal to save this face and move all the things of the Wei family back, they won't give it to me, and they will keep it and say that they stole our Zhong family's property, and the things are all recorded, and some people testify that he sold our family's things, and he can't escape even if he wants to." ”

After he finished speaking, he shook off Aunt Wei's hand holding his sleeve, with a ruthless look.

Aunt Wei was taken aback by her son, and hurriedly said, "Say, I said, don't come nonsense." ”

In the end, Zhong Lang left with a list, and Aunt Wei fell to the ground with a limp face.

And Zhong Yin's daughter didn't care about her own mother, but said with a resentful face: "Mother, I really didn't expect that my uncle and my uncle's cousin are more important in your heart than me and my brother." ”

After saying that, he left, and didn't pay attention to his heartbroken mother-in-law.

This time Aunt Wei is really sick, different from what she pretended to be before, she can't get out of bed, since she was grounded by Zhong Jue, the previous subordinates who flattered her have disappeared, and she can't wait to be far away from her yard, only one mother-in-law is always by her side.

"Madame, guess what I heard today?" On this day, Yang Chun walked into Zhong Lan's Qingfeng Courtyard with a happy face, and the smile on his face couldn't be suppressed.

Now Zhong Lan's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and she is slowly walking around the yard with the support of Ye Qiu and Shen Dong, with a gentle smile on her face: "What good news?" ”

"It's Aunt Wei's maiden family, I heard that the second young master had a quarrel with the Wei family early this morning, and then somehow moved all the things of the Wei family, and almost reported to the official!" Yang Chun said with a relieved face, "That scene, I heard that it was intense, but it's a pity that I finished a step." ”

After hearing this, Zhong Lan asked a little blankly: "Why did Zhong Lang go to the Wei Mansion to move things!" ”

Ye Qiu smiled meaninglessly at this time, and guessed: "Could it be that Aunt Wei's housekeeper has been greedy for a lot of money in the house in the past three years?" After being discovered by the eldest young master, he ordered the second young master to make up for it? The Wei family has declined over the years, and there is no income in the house and there is a lot of money, I guess Aunt Wei must use the money in the house to subsidize the Wei family! ”

"Sister Ye Qiu, you are really this." Yang Chun gave Ye Qiu a thumbs up, his eyes shining, "The news I heard is the same, it should be eight or nine years old, the eldest young master is so domineering, and it will suppress the arrogance of Aunt Wei and the second young master at once." ”

"Is that so?"

"Madam, let's wait and see, I will definitely come to tell you when the dust settles on the eldest young master's side."

Zhong Lan blinked, but his expression was not too worried: "I hope it's over as soon as possible." ”

Thinking about it, now Zhong Jue is not the isolated young master before, since Zhong Lang made a big fuss about the Wei family, Wei Guogong also deliberately "encountered" Zhong Huaiwen in the next dynasty, which scared Zhong Huaiwen and put another layer of pressure on Zhong Lang.

After Zhong Lang came back from the Wei family, he tapped the silver money and those antique calligraphy and paintings, but found that it was still far from the bill, and his heart fell to the bottom.

"Yin'er, the second brother is sorry for you, your second brother will compensate you for those ornaments and jewelry in the future." Zhong Lang finally sold the things in his and Aunt Wei's yard, and found that it was not enough, and came to Zhong Yin again.

Zhong Yin looked at her second brother in disbelief, she didn't expect him to hit her attention.
