Old Madam Xue didn't speak.

Wu Shi rolled his eyes on the side, and also stepped forward and said gently, "Ah Ling, don't worry, after going home, you will be fine with your sisters, and if you are in harmony." ”

Xue Ling said in a low voice, "Thank you uncle and aunt for your care." ”

Then he turned to look at his mother.

Jiang Yue said, "It's cold outside, mother-in-law, please come in quickly." ”

said that he personally went to help Mrs. Xue.

Old Madam Xue did not object.

The group walked along the cloister.

The atmosphere was dreary and quiet.

When she arrived at the Spirit Hall, Mrs. Xue held on to the coffin, and finally couldn't stand crying.

The sobs in the room came and went.

Everyone persuaded each other again, and the weeping gradually stopped.

Old Madam Xue put away her thoughts, endured her grief, and instructed Xue Jihong and Xue Jiman to arrange various matters in the outer courtyard, "All families are also paying attention to this matter, we came over today, and we probably have already guessed it, you should spread the news first." He sighed heavily, "This witch lord has passed away, and I'm afraid that this Jiangling land will start to turmoil again." ”

The two brothers Xue Jihong glanced at each other, and then said, "Mother doesn't have to worry too much, according to me, wait for the clan elders to come over." Set an heir for the eldest brother first, so that the funeral ceremony can also lead the way as the heir. ”

Mrs. Xue didn't make a sound, Xue Ling observed secretly, and found that everyone's eyes were faintly looking at her mother.

Wu opened his mouth first, "No matter which one you succeed, you will have to give your sister-in-law a pension in the future, I don't know which one your sister-in-law prefers?" It's not that I praise it, our Ayuan is the most sensible. ”

Such a blatant and determined look made Old Lady Xue frown slightly, and shook her head almost inaudibly.

The room was surprisingly quiet.

Jiang Yue didn't answer.

There was a sense of urgency in the atmosphere.

Xue Ling observed carefully, and the second uncle had a sense of pride.

And the third uncle and third aunt were much more cautious.

In the end, Mrs. Xue spoke, "This matter is not only the Jiang family's business, but also the Xue family's business, Ah Yuan, A Hao are good children, the Jiang family, you can think about it, the clan will also focus on discussion, Ji Hong has a sentence that is not wrong, this matter has to be decided on the eve of the funeral." ”

After Mrs. Xue spoke, Jiang Yue went up and said, "Yes." ”

Then, Mrs. Xue said, "Wu, this time you are still helping your sister-in-law, check first, what things need to be purchased, you must do it safely." ”

Wu immediately responded, and then said, "It stands to reason that I should have listed things early, but I don't know what things are missing here, sister-in-law will tell me first, I have purchased everything that should be done today, we have a wide range of people, and we are not afraid of being too late." ”

Old Madam Xue nodded, as if she recognized the Wu family's housekeeping ability.

Before Jiang Yue could speak, Qiu Shi swept around and said first, "I see that this room is cold and swishing, and it doesn't seem to be charcoal?" Sister-in-law shouldn't have done anything. ”

This ancestral house itself is an old house, although it is built empty, but there is no charcoal, and after staying for a while, my hands and feet will be cold.

The Xue family is wealthy, not to mention a few masters, that is, the girls and mothers-in-law below, all of whom are used to being pampered, and they have prepared enough hand stoves all the way.

Therefore, when this time settles down, I feel a little too cold.

Since Wu entered the mourning hall, he was a little puzzled in his heart, this sister-in-law should have a wide range of hands, and Xu's mother just went back a few days ago to report that the things used in the ancestral house are all good, and there has never been a shortage of daily things.

Why is it that today, there is not even charcoal burning in the house.

At this time, the third wife, Qiu Shi, had already taken Xue Ling's hand, held it in the palm of her hand, and said pityingly, "We adults are nothing, look at what these two children are freezing like, is the sister-in-law short of money in hand, or has she forgotten these days?" ”

Old Mrs. Xue is old, and she is most afraid of the cold, so she naturally noticed it a long time ago, but she didn't say anything.

Now that the Qiu family had already proposed it, Old Lady Xue looked at Jiang Yue and asked, "Why didn't you burn charcoal?" ”

Xue Ling was worried, and called A-Niang softly.

Jiang Yue understood what Xue Ling meant before, nodded at Xue Ling, and then said, "Mother-in-law, it's true that I don't have enough money on hand, so I didn't buy charcoal." It was my sin to let my mother-in-law and several younger siblings suffer from the cold. ”

As soon as these words fell, the room fell silent in an instant.

Even the girl in the underground couldn't help but look at it.

Old Lady Xue frowned.

Wu's heart jumped, all the expenses of the ancestral house were indeed deducted by her.

Let's start at the beginning.

Jiang Yue was born in the Jiang family, with a rich dowry, Xue Jiyuan was seriously ill, and the elder of the clan proposed a step-heir, which was recorded in Jiang Yue's name.

According to the customs of the Kingdom of Li, if the heir is succeeded by a woman, then the dowry under the woman's name should be reserved for the heir first.

Jiang Yue only has a pair of daughters, so naturally she doesn't want her dowry to be left to others.

Therefore, she divided the dowry into two, asked for the consent of Mrs. Xue, and invited her mother's family to testify, which was recorded in the names of Xue Ling and Xue Yan.

This matter naturally displeased the Wu family, and she had quite an opinion about Jiang Yue's behavior.

If her son is selected as the heir, he will recognize Jiang Yue as his mother in the future and support Jiang Yue for the end.

And now before the succession, Jiang Yue hurriedly divided the family property, and the Wu family was dissatisfied.

Jiang Yue's dowry, although Mrs. Xue nodded, but this matter was not publicized.

Jiang Yue went to the ancestral house, and the money he brought was not much, and Xu's mother followed the old lady, and when she learned about it, she told the Wu family to know.

The Wu family had a plan, so she deliberately deducted the money of the big house, she expected that the sister-in-law of the long house has always been stubborn and will never return to the house to show weakness, not to mention, she is distributed according to the share in the Xue family, even if this matter is mentioned, she has a way to shirk it.

Jiang Yue's actions have already made the Xue family dissatisfied, and now that he is blatantly practicing medicine, he doesn't even need to provoke, and the clan elders will not tolerate such a woman continuing to corrupt the door.

As long as Jiang Yue dies, even if he is born to Ah Yuan, even if he succeeds in Jiang Yue's name, it will only be an empty name, and Ah Yuan will be filial to himself in the future.

This is Wu's selfishness.

Everything went very smoothly.

So at this moment, when Jiang Yue suddenly blatantly said that he had no money, the Wu family was a little confused.

This sister-in-law is not short of money in hand, and her temperament is so strong and competitive, how can this son suddenly sell miserably, speaking of insufficient money!

Wu didn't know why, and there was a faint bad premonition in his heart.
