She lowered her head, and lowered her voice a little, but the muttering voice was still audible to the old lady: "I would rather not have such a mother." I am in the Xu family, although I don't have fine clothes and food, my life is peaceful and stable, and no one beats or scolds me all day long. If I go back to the Hou Mansion to live such a life, I would rather go back to Xu's house and be my village aunt. In my opinion, it doesn't matter what you eat and what you wear, the most important thing is to have a smooth life. ”

This is true here in Xu Xi, but when he heard the old lady's ears, there was a threat. After Xu Xi mentioned it, she also felt that Wei's attitude was wrong, but now was not the time to talk about it.

She took a deep breath and rubbed her brow again.

"Well, I'll arrange for your guest house first. As for other things, how about I discuss them with Master Hou, the eldest lady and your father? ”

Xu Xi is not in a hurry. This kind of thing to cut off the relationship between mother and daughter, the old lady will not do easily; Even if you want to do it, it is impossible to leave people with a handle. She couldn't rush even if she was in a hurry.

Now that she can live in the guest house, it is a small victory.

She showed a happy look on her face, blessed the old lady, and said gratefully: "Thank you, old lady." ”

The old lady looked up and said to the big girl in her house, the tortoiseshell, "You take the girl to the chess house to rest." ”

Tortoiseshell agreed, led Xu Xi and Qingfeng to retire, and went to the Guanqi Academy.

After Xu Xi and his party left, the old lady sighed: "This is another uneasy one." ”

Mama Jin took something to cover the old lady's knee and persuaded: "The fifth girl is older than the sixth girl, and she should have just passed her fourteenth birthday." After a month or two of teaching the rules, the old lady can give her Zhang Luo's family affairs. Even if you don't worry, you won't stay at home for long. What's more, I think the fifth girl is just straightforward, not unreasonable. As long as she is really good to her, she also knows how to be grateful. ”

Hearing this, the old lady did not speak.

After a while, she sneered and said, "Wei Shi is becoming more and more unaware of how many catties and taels he has. She knew that I and the Zhu family valued Sister Xi'er, and she wanted to make this scene, obviously slapping me in the face. She's testing my limits. ”

Mama Jin didn't answer.

After a pause, she asked, "Miss Xi, what are you going to do, old lady?" ”

The old lady closed her eyes and thought about it: "It's good that Sister Xi moves out, so as not to make Wei's bones light and think that I dare not offend her." ”

In fact, she didn't pick Xu Xi back after picking it up a few times, and the old lady was also quite angry. I was going to teach her a lesson, but Wei treated her badly, as long as she didn't make too much trouble, the old lady planned to turn a blind eye.

When Xu Xi and Zhao Ruyu couldn't stand the abuse of the Wei family and asked her and the Zhu family for help, it was a good time for them to reach out to Xu Xi.

It's a pity that the abacus played very well, but things didn't go according to her plan. Now that it is like this, of course, it is the most important thing to clean up the Wei family first and teach the Wei family a lesson. As for Xu Xi, there is always a chance for her to learn a lesson.

After thinking about it like this, the old lady made up her mind and instructed the little maid: "Go and call the Hou Ye, the second master and the eldest lady, I have something to say." ”

The old lady has been in charge of the back house for decades, and she knows very well what kind of means to use against whom.

Wei has a bad temperament since he was a child. When she first got married, she was still a man with her tail between her legs, but now that her father's official is up, she is becoming more and more domineering. However, she only sprinkled in the second room realm, and in the face of her mother-in-law Tang and sister-in-law Zhu, she still didn't dare to have any excessive words and deeds. Because she knows that the old lady and the eldest lady are not soft persimmons, once they are forced to that part, with the strong character of the old lady and the eldest lady, they will never give up, and they will definitely divide the second room at that time.

And everyone understands in their hearts that this family cannot be divided.

The reason why the Suiping Marquis Mansion can still be among the aristocratic circles is because of the pomp supported by this big mansion and the only remaining property. Once separated, the false prosperity that is now strong will collapse.

Even if the second and third rooms are all concubines, the house and property must always be divided among them when the family is divided, right? After dividing the family, not to mention the second and third rooms, only to say that the big house of the lord is only half the size of the house, the family is only seven or eight people, twenty or thirty people, and there are not many shops and fields, what is the difference between this and those ordinary families in the capital? Who in a wealthy family is willing to marry them?

The second and third rooms are even worse. The child in the two rooms is now going out, and it is Miss Gongzi of the Suiping Marquis Mansion. But after the family is separated, they can only be ordinary people, where can they still be said to be close? In addition, there are not many belongings allocated to them, and when the time comes, they still want to be clothed and fed, which is impossible.

At the beginning of the separation, the Hou Mansion was truly defeated.

The Wei family is quite arrogant because of Wei's father's official status, but she herself knows that no matter how good the Wei family's life is, it is impossible to use money to supplement her. Her old son and brother have dozens of families to support, and she can be allowed to go back to live for a few days to eat a few mouthfuls of her mother's food and give her a good face, which is for the sake of her being the wife of the Marquis of Suiping.

Whether it is in terms of face or lining, Wei also knows that the second room cannot be separated.
