In the evening, Shermulin settled dinner in his own room. After the meal, she was taking out her books, planning to review the homework assigned by her grandmother Song a few years ago, when Xie Yingfen came with ginkgo biloba.

Xie Yingfen didn't bring anyone else with her, and she came in a low-key manner. As soon as she opened her mouth and said that she wanted to talk to Xie Mulin in the back room, Xie Mulin understood in her heart, and after ordering the girls to serve tea, she retreated left and right, leaving Xie Yingfen in the warm pavilion.

Xie Yingfen skillfully crossed her legs on the kang and said in a low voice: "We just went out today, and my aunt instructed the front yard to send someone to hire a car to pick up the Ye family to come over and talk." Because it was instructed by my wife in advance, the people in the front yard did so. The Ye family only came to Ye Laogao and his wife, and his aunt took the ginkgo biloba to meet them in the main room of the guest house, talked for a long time, had another lunch, gave a few taels of silver and a few rulers, and then sent the people away. ”

Xie Mulin smiled and said, "As soon as I saw the fourth sister coming to talk, I knew that you were here to talk about it." Judging by your expression, Aunt Qin's performance this time shouldn't have disappointed you, right? ”

Xie Yingfen smiled with some emotion: "After so many years of hard work, I finally turned my aunt's mind around." But if it weren't for the fact that the Cao family's situation is not as good as before, I'm afraid that she won't change her mind so easily, and she still thinks that the Cao family is doing everything well, and she wants to get along with the Cao family and find a good family affair for me and my fourth brother! She didn't want to think about it, there are really good relatives, the girls in the Cao family's family don't want it, and there are also the daughters of their relatives and subordinates, where is my turn? To the Cao family, which card am I a character on the card? It's just a girl and an outsider's child. In the past, when Xie Cao's two families were still in-laws, they didn't take me seriously, not to mention that now the two families have made a feud?!

"Cao Wentai still had a place to use my aunt before, so he gave the Ye family some sweetness, which led them to persuade their aunt to work hard for the Cao family. As a result, after my aunt came to Beiping, there was no news for two months, and Cao Wentai turned his face and didn't recognize anyone. When the Chengenhou Mansion dismissed the slaves, even the Ye family was also dismissed, except for the two burdens of physical clothes per person, nothing was allowed to be taken away, and most of the net worth accumulated by generations was lost. If it weren't for the Cao family taking them in, I'm afraid they would be living on the streets! Where does this mean that they and my aunt are really going to use it? It's so cold, no matter how confused my aunt is, it's time to wake up after hearing about this! ”

Xie Mulin gently patted the back of Xie Yingfen's hand: "Anyway, it's a good thing to be able to break away from the Cao family." In the future, your aunt will no longer have to be subject to the Cao family because of their existence, and you will have a lot less troubles. ”

Xie Yingfen nodded and sighed: "Now that their deeds are in the hands of the Cao family, it is much easier to handle than before." If the Cao family really wants to flee to Beiping for refuge, with the power of our family, threaten two sentences, and the Ye family's identity deed will be in hand. At that time, whether my aunt will give money, or I and my fourth brother will get together some private houses and settle the Ye family. Ye Laogao and his wife are not very old, Ye Jinsheng and Ye Jinlian are young and strong, where can they not find a livelihood? Whether they will live well or badly in the future depends on their own ability. Except for meeting each other during the New Year's festival and rewarding a few pieces of silver, you don't have to worry about them anymore. If they dare to make a fuss, they have their own way of curing them! ”

Xie Mulin saw that she had already made up her mind, so he didn't comment more, but only turned to the topic: "Did the Chengenhou Mansion dismiss the slaves?" Are there many people who have been dismissed? ”

Xie Yingfen came back to her senses: "There are a lot, according to Ye Laogao's wife, there are two or three hundred people!" However, most of these people are those who have no errands, or are dispensable, and there are also some family members and friends of confidants. None of those who had important duties in them moved. The Cao family never sold people outside, so they even rewarded them with money and let them out. But to be honest, they only let these people take away a little clothes and themselves, and most of their wealth was left in the Cao family, but they were afraid that not only would they not lose money, but they would also earn some back.

"Don't mention anything else, Ye Laogao's family has accumulated a few hundred taels of private house, his wife and daughter have jewelry and clothing rewarded by the owner, and now they only bring out less than a hundred taels of silver tickets, as well as some jewelry that is not valuable, his wife is distressed to death, and now I see my aunt, and I can't stop complaining."

Ye Laogao's family was actually suggesting that Wanqin would give her some property, jewelry or clothing, Wanqin only gave her two pairs of silver earrings, silver bracelets, and four muslin rulers, and a few silver coins used to reward people during the New Year, which did not satisfy her at all. But Wanqin doesn't give it, what can she do? I had to smile and thank you.

Xie Mulin heard that something was wrong: "The family members and friends of the henchmen have been released?" Where are these people, can anyone pay attention? ”

Xie Yingfen blinked, and quickly reacted: "What the second sister means is that these people are likely to be on an ulterior mission, not the Cao family who really want to let them out?!" She frowned, "That's really not sure." Didn't you say that the emperor punished Cheng Enhou for introspection behind closed doors at home? If someone in his family goes out and walks around, there must be people from the government staring at him! But if two or three hundred servants were dismissed at once, where would the government have so many people to track them down one by one? I'm afraid that someone here will slip through the net! ”

She couldn't help but slap the table, with a little unwillingness on her face: "It's all here, the Cao family still has trouble." What the hell are they trying to do?! ”

Xie Mulin said lightly: "No matter what they want to do, those people are at most helping to pass a letter, deliver something or something." As long as the emperor is determined to cure the Cao family's crimes, what is the use of the Cao family's struggle? If his family had a powerful ally who could help, he would not be in the predicament he is in. ”

"Having said that, but the Cao family is ruthless, who knows what they will do?" Xie Yingfen snorted coldly twice, and said, "But his family does have some intention of betraying his relatives now." Not only have the former allies fallen one after another, but even the people who were once good friends in the old friends of the in-laws have now turned their faces and become estranged. There are also people who were once forced by the power of his family and could only swallow their anger, but now they take advantage of the weakness of his family and bite them in turn. The second sister still remembers Cao Wenyan, the concubine of Pingnanbo Mansion in the past? ”

Xie Mulin vaguely remembered a thin figure who always followed behind the arrogant and arrogant Cao Wenfeng: "Remember, when Duchess Chengen was seriously ill, Mrs. Pingnanbo, Cao Wenheng, and Cao Wenfeng didn't want to serve the sick, so it seemed that they pushed her to be a representative?" The eldest sister may be more familiar with her. ”

"That's her!" Xie Yingfen sighed and shook her head, "After Ping Nanbo was bad, she listened to the instigation of the Chengenhou Mansion, and bit her mother, brother and sister, and was adopted by the Chengenhou Mansion afterwards, and also said that she would enjoy wealth and prosperity from now on, but as soon as the Cao family had an accident, she was driven back by her husband's family, and she wanted to go back to the Cao family, but she couldn't enter the door. Now that the two ends are not on the shore, there is nowhere to cry! ”

Xie Mulin couldn't help but be curious: "What the hell is going on?" ”
