Chapter 138: The loss is great
Because this granddaughter is good-looking, Mama Li is counting on her to be able to make a living, even if she is not an aunt, she can ask her for mercy and let her go out to marry a person or a petty official - there is a Hou Mansion as a backer, Qingliu is literate and hyphenated, even if she is a maidservant, there are people who are willing to marry. Therefore, Aoyagi was valued and pampered by Mama Li when she was a child.
Now that she said that she was going to see her die, Mama Li really couldn't bear it.
Qingliu's mother, Mother Wu, didn't know when she arrived in this courtyard, and at this time, she suddenly knelt at Mama Li's feet: "Mother, can you ignore Qingliu." ”
Because it was Aoyagi who had the accident, someone she had already met to inform her. Knowing that her daughter had done something ugly, she didn't dare to make a noise when she came, but only quietly stood near Mama Li and Aoyagi, watching the development of the situation.
Now that her daughter's life is at stake, she can't keep silent.
Mama Li saw her daughter-in-law kneeling at her feet, and her son also kneeling in front of the crowd, she finally gritted her teeth and knelt in front of Wei: "Ask Mrs. to save Qingliu's life." ”
She didn't dare to say that she asked Zhao Jing'an to take the board for Qingliu, she only dared to ask for it like this. No matter what method Wei uses, as long as he saves Aoyagi's life.
If it were an ordinary servant, she would not dare to do this. But how much she has done for Wei over the years. Not only her, but also her son and daughter-in-law have also done many unsightly things for the Wei family.
With these handles in hand, she wanted to gamble, and bet that the Wei family would not dare to give up their family because of this.
Without her and their family, the Wei family is definitely like missing an arm, and it is difficult to do anything.
And the eldest lady has always been generous, she really loves the children in the house, whether they are her own or concubines, or in other rooms, and she will never really hit Zhao Jing'an's board because of Aoyagi's mistakes.
Wei looked at Mama Li's family who were kneeling on the ground, and his teeth itched with hatred. She hated that the eldest lady insisted on doing things according to the rules, and she also hated Mama Li for her granddaughter, who wanted Zhao Jingan to take the board for her granddaughter in vain, which was really a big guts.
"Mama Li, so you want the second young master to take the board for Qingliu?" She asked through gritted teeth.
"The old slave doesn't dare. The old slave only begged his wife to save Aoyagi. Mama Li kowtowed a few times to Wei.
Aoyagi and her parents also knocked the ground "thump".
"Don't you dare? You also saw it just now, not only the eldest lady, but also the prince also requires the rules to be followed. ”
Wei's temper is already bad, in the past few years, because of Wei's father's promotion, he dares to be presumptuous in front of the old lady and the eldest lady, and he is all kinds of domineering in front of her husband, where can anyone dare to treat her like this?
At this time, she was full of anger at being betrayed by the slave, and said coldly with a calm face: "Are you forcing me? Your granddaughter made a mistake, and you feel sorry for her and don't let her be beaten for the board, but you want my son to take the board for her? ”
Mama Li cried, kowtowed, and shouted: "The old slave doesn't dare, the old slave doesn't mean this." The old slave just wants Mrs. you to intercede for Aoyagi and save her life. ”
"Big lady, big lady, the son doesn't teach, the father is wrong. I didn't teach Aoyagi well and made her make a big mistake. Let the minions bear these thirty boards! Aoyagi's father climbed to the feet of the eldest lady and kowtowed.
"The slave is also willing to accept the board for her daughter." Aoyagi's mother also said, and shouted at the Wei family, "Second lady, you are angry, my mother really didn't mean to let the second young master take the board for Aoyagi." ”
"The slave is also willing to take the board for his sister." A boy of about ten years old squeezed out of the crowd and knelt beside Mama Li.
"Your family is a father and son, and brothers, friends and brothers, but how can you raise such a shameless daughter? Do they all point to her as half the master of the Hou Mansion, so that she can raise her eyebrows in the mansion? The eldest lady said lightly.
The onlookers were still moved by the Li family, but when they heard the words of the eldest lady, their perception of the family became worse again.
"Well, if I insist on the original punishment, it will seem that I am cold-hearted and impersonal." Anyway, the purpose of provoking the relationship between Wei and Mama Li has been achieved.
"Li Mu, Li Mu's family, one of you will bear ten boards for your daughter, and Aoyagi will beat ten more boards. But after the fight, none of your families can stay in the mansion anymore, and all of them will have to be sold. ”
The eldest lady glanced at them: "Do you still have any opinions on this decision?" ”
"Thank you, Madame, thank you, Madame." Li Mu and his daughter-in-law both kowtowed repeatedly.
They have been in the Hou Mansion for many years, but they have also accumulated some net worth, and they should be able to redeem themselves.
It's really not good, and the second lady can pay to buy them and put them in the shop. Anyway, they are the second lady's companion, and the deed is in the hands of the second lady, but the left hand is reversed from the right hand, and the second lady does not need to lose a sum of silver.
It's just that they don't want to be bought back by the second lady unless they have to. They have been by Wei's side for so many years, and they know that Wei's heart is so small that they will repay him.
Today, for the sake of Aoyagi, they forced Wei to intercede for them, and Wei still didn't know how to hate them. If you buy them, you might be able to sell them to the mines. This woman is ruthless, what can't she do?
can be a confidant, over the years, they have helped Wei do a lot of things. If they weren't bought back by the second lady, they just left the house, would the second lady let them go? Maybe the front foot will go out of the house, and the second lady on the back foot will be able to send someone to kill them.
Thinking that there was no way to live, the family suddenly panicked, and regretted that they took the initiative to kneel out and intercede for their daughter just now.
Wei also calmed down at this time, and he also regretted forcing the Li family to this point.
Although the Li family was sold, she could buy it back, but she must not enter the Hou Mansion again, and could only be put in the shop. In this way, she has fewer trusted henchmen in the Hou Mansion.
And the Li family is very unsafe outside. If she is coerced or bought, the chances of betraying her are much greater than if she was placed in the house.
But she can also see that the eldest lady seems to be carrying her exclusively today, and she will definitely not give her the slightest chance to intercede, and the end of Aoyagi's thirty boards and selling them is inevitable. If it is not her own father and mother to share it, it has to be Zhao Jing'an, who took the initiative to ask Yingying, to share it. Compared with the son, the family is just a slave, so it is not so important.
Thinking of his loss, he looked at Zhao Jingli who was standing beside the eldest lady, and the Wei family suddenly hated the eldest lady.
"Let's execute. But this is my companion room, how to sell it, where to sell it, I don't have to worry about Mrs. Douglas. She said with a frosty face.
The purpose of the eldest lady to make trouble was basically achieved, and she no longer talked to the Wei family, and directly ordered: "Pull Li Mu's and Qingliu to the inner courtyard." ”
Saying that, she looked at Zhao Jingli again: "Brother Li, Li Mu will be handed over to you." ”
