Chapter 25: Resentment

Wanqin knew that Mother Qian didn't like her very well. Among them, there is not only the old grudge formed by the two in the early years when they competed for the most important person in the Cao family, but also the relationship between Wanqin who has become Xie Pu's concubine and has children.

Even if Wanqin became a concubine on the order of the Cao family for the favor of the Wen family and the Jin sisters, in the eyes of Mother Qian, she was no longer a pure person herself.

Because the Cao family was afraid that the Wen family gave birth to a son and a daughter, and Xie Pu valued him, he was worried that the son of the Wen family would affect the inheritance of his son Xie Xianzhi, so he wanted to find another candidate to share the favor of the Wen family.

She will marry Xie Pu for the Xie family's property, if even this family property has to be shared with others, then what is her sacrifice over the years?

Originally, the Cao family chose to share the favor, it was the Jin sisters arranged for her by Cao Sanye, who had no roots and no foundation, but they were just playthings like thin horses in Yangzhou, and they were not in the climate. Who knew that they also gave birth to two children, one of whom was a son! Among them, Xiao Jin's family was once favored, and when he came to office, he even helped Xie Pu take care of the accounts, and dared to speak loudly in front of the main room. Cao wanted to pinch her, but he couldn't handle it, so he began to regret that he had found two unconcerned ones.

So the second choice was her confidant maid, Wanqin, the son of the Cao family. She has a large family in Pingnanbo's Mansion, and the Cao family is not worried that Wanqin will be disobedient. And Wanqin followed Xie Pu to his appointment, and he did obey Cao's orders in everything. However, as Wanqin also gave birth to a son and a daughter, Cao's heart felt a little uncomfortable.

It's okay to have a daughter, but an extra dowry, but a son, a smart son, has a different meaning.

Cao himself did not doubt Wanqin's loyalty, but he was unhappy in his heart. And Qian's mother is her diehard, and she feels that Wanqin has an outside heart, otherwise she would not have had children for Xie Pu at all, even if she is pregnant, she should solve it by herself......

Since the Cao family wants to cut off Xie Pu's life and future, of course Mother Qian will not be able to trust Wanqin's loyalty. Wanqin now has children and daughters, and they all say that being a mother is strong, and the future of her children follows her father, what if she thinks about her children and favors Xie Pu? Wanqin is not comparable to the first-class sisters of the Jin family, and she knows more about the Cao family......

Therefore, now Mother Qian is one hundred and twenty people who are not at ease with Wanqin, and she tries her best to prevent her from contacting the Cao family, so as to save her from saying something that she shouldn't say and shake the Cao family's determination.

Wanqin is not stupid either. She looked at Mother Qian's expression, and she already knew what the other party was thinking.

Frankly, she did not approve of Cao's attack on her husband. If you want to remarry Fang Wenshan, you don't have to frame Xie Pu. Xie Pu is not wrong, the Cao family wants to pile up a crime for him, if he is not successful, he will become an enemy with his husband, if he succeeds, it is equivalent to cutting off the future of his own children!

The Cao family is extremely wealthy, but Ping Nanbo is unwilling and wants to take over greater power. But the Cao family is the sister of Ping Nanbo, but she is also the sister of Queen Cao and Cheng Enhou, as a foreign daughter, she deserves no less, and she does not deserve more, so why bother to get involved in this kind of disgraceful thing?

Even if she can remarry, Xie Xianzhi's identity as the son of a criminal official will not change because he has a stepfather, how can he test his fame? He has been reading books for many years, but he is not just satisfied with being a rich idler.

Cao couldn't listen to these words, and Mother Qian didn't allow her to say it, Wanqin held it in her heart, and now she also had some complaints.

She has been loyal to the Cao family all her life, and to this day, she still thinks about the Cao family everywhere, even if she knows that Xie Pu's imprisonment will affect the future of her children, she is still tight-lipped. As a result, this loyalty was not rewarded. Cao didn't reveal her specific plans from beginning to end, and Qian's mother excluded her everywhere. Even when her children fell ill, they had to be searched by Gui Zhen...... She has been loyal all her life, why was she trampled under the feet of a few minions?!

The account book in the dark grid of the study is actually regarded as a trivial matter by this old slave, which is ridiculous!

The Cao family moved a huge amount of gold and silver from the Xie family's account, how could they hide it from Xie Pu? In order to cover up, the Cao family often finds some excuses, such as whether they want to enter the palace, or give gifts to the queen and the prince, or make some connections, etc., and use them to prevaricate Xie Pu. Some of the money was really given to the palace as gifts, but most of it was enjoyed by Pingnanbo's own family.

Xie Pu remembered the use of each money clearly and in detail in the account book, and the people of Dali Temple saw it and knew that the Xie family had "sacrificed" tens of thousands of taels of silver to the queen and the prince every year, and there was still room for it. So how could Xie Pu take a huge risk and embezzle a huge amount of money from Hegong's silver? Until the first month of this year, the money in the account book has not stopped, but it does not include the money of the river workers, so there is a discrepancy with the confession of the prefect of the king.

The palace will not recognize this money, and the Chengenhou Mansion will also say that it does not know. At that time, the money for the so-called "dedication to the East Palace" will only fall on the head of Pingnanbo's mansion.

That's really shooting yourself in the foot!

Cao Sanye and the Cao brothers and sisters probably never thought that Xie Pu acquiesced to them digging the corner of the Xie family, but at the same time left account books, right?

Wanqin knew that the officers and soldiers had already found the account books, and there was no way to hide them, so she wanted to remind the Cao family to prepare early. But Qian's mother stopped her and didn't take this matter to heart, what could she do?

Anyway, with the Cao family and Fang Wenshan, this case should still be carried out according to Ping Nanbo's plan in the end. A little trouble will be solved, and she doesn't need to worry about a concubine. If the Cao family blames in the future, and there is a rich mother in front of her, Wanqin has fulfilled her duty to remind her, and she can rest assured. It is impossible for her to follow the Cao family to remarry to the Fang family, so it is better to think about the future of herself and a pair of children......

Wanqin returned to her daughter disheartened, Xie Mulin took the bowl in her hand and glanced at her: "The water is cold, I thought that Aunt Qin's water was specially for the fourth sister." ”

Wanqin didn't speak, only helped her daughter up and asked Xie Mulin to feed her water.

Xie Yingfen drank the water, closed her eyes and fell asleep again. Wanqin tidied up the wipes on her forehead for her, and began to be in a daze.

Xie Mulin noticed Fang Cai's movements, and knew that someone outside must have delivered a message to Wanqin, informing the Cao family of some important news.

She whispered to Wanqin: "The fourth sister is burning badly, and she only uses a wet handkerchief to cool down, I'm afraid it's not good, right?" I don't know if there is any medicine there to deal with? I just saw my aunt ask Mother Qian to take out the pill and give it to my eldest sister. ”

Wanqin pursed her lips: "That medicine is not for the fourth girl's symptoms." ”

"Really?" Xie Mulin said deliberately, "I originally thought that Mother Qian deliberately didn't give the fourth sister medicine, after all, she was not very polite to me and the third sister." However, Aunt Qin's identity is different, and Mother Qian's treatment of her fourth sister is naturally different. ”

Wanqin felt as if her heart had been stabbed.

She didn't speak, and took the handkerchief off Xie Yingfen's forehead to go to the cold water. Xie Mulin smiled, turned his head and saw that the expressions of the Cao family and the others seemed to be quite relaxed, and he couldn't help frowning.

She got up and walked to the window to observe the movements of the officers and soldiers.

Xie Yingrong turned her head to look at her, didn't speak, and continued to stare at the upper room.

After a while, an officer and soldier ran in from outside the courtyard, saluted the red-clothed official who was sitting in the middle of the courtyard, and then entered the upper room, and not long after, walked out with a Tsing Yi official. The latter handed a cloth bag to the red-clothed officer and whispered something. The red-clothed official suddenly looked happy and said the word "good".

What does that mean?

Xie Mulin was puzzled, so he heard Xie Yingrong shout "It's over" in a low voice, and sat down on the ground softly, and the whole person was extremely decadent.

Xie Mulin was about to ask her what was wrong, but he heard the officers and soldiers come to inform her.

The officials of Dali Temple are going to ask someone for questioning.
