What Tang Yanning knew, the third wife was not sure. She turned around and returned to the hall, sat opposite Tang Yanning, looked at her in disbelief, and clenched the handkerchief in her hand, "You ......"

Tang Yanning lowered her eyes and was silent, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, showing a silent contempt.

Tang Yanhua stood at the door, looked at the third wife, and then looked at Tang Yanning, I don't know why.

"Mother......

The third lady ignored Tang Yanhua's shout, only looked at Tang Yanning, and was a little uncomfortable and tentative, "Ah Ning, what do you mean?" ”

"The third aunt really doesn't understand?" Tang Yanning laughed, and the sparkle between her eyebrows and eyes flowed. Ying Ying's eyes fell on the third lady's face, and she didn't continue, but the meaning in her eyes was clear.

"Not what you think!" The third lady hurriedly argued.

Although she is a little greedy, on the big picture, she can be regarded as passable. For a long time, people have said that she is straightforward and fast-talking. The third wife definitely doesn't want to be put in the light what she did behind her back, especially in front of her daughter.

She is not a very good person, but she is not willing to expose her greedy side in front of her daughter. Therefore, when she looked at Tang Yanning, there was some begging in her very shrewd eyes.

"Hua'er, Ah Ning and I still have something to say, you go back first." Seeing that Tang Yanning didn't say any more, the third wife hurriedly ordered Tang Yanhua.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Tang Yanhua was just a little rude, but he was not stupid. Just now Tang Yanning mentioned the dowry, and the third wife's attitude changed so quickly, she faintly had some guesses in her heart.

Biting her lip, Tang Yanhua left quickly.

"The third aunt is really a loving mother." Tang Yanning waved her hand and let Gu Yu out. She stood up and walked to the window, where the beautiful woman shrugged her shoulders and offered a few seasonal flowers in a bottle.

After looking at it for a while, Tang Yanning reached out and took out a bright red branch from the bottle, put it in front of her nose and sniffed it, and rubbed it with her hand. The bright red flower juice dyed her palm, which was as white as porcelain, red, but she didn't seem to realize it, so she shook it in front of her with her red fingertips, and said with a smile: "With a mother like you carefully planning, the third sister has a promising future." ”

"This, this is too far away, and there is no need to mention it. Ah Ning, the third aunt has to argue with you. I know that over the years of being in charge, I have also offended a lot of people, and some people chew their tongues, and all the things in the greedy ink treasury have been moved to their parents' house. I don't even want to pay attention to this, after all, in this world, where is there a lack of ghosts who died unjustly? Your third aunt and I are from a small family, and there is nothing else, but there is still a high idea! Your mother's dowry is indeed taken care of by me, but the accounts over the years are clear, whether it is in or out, one by one. At the end of each year, the account book is also handed over to your mother for the purpose. If you don't believe me, when I go back to the city, I'll have the books of accounts brought to you, and you can see for yourself. ”

"One more thing, if I really do anything from the inside, greedy for ink, can your mother allow me to manage her dowry for so many years?"

The words of the third wife, the more she spoke, the smoother it became. In the end, she herself seemed to believe that she was the most innocent person in this.

Tang Yanning lowered her eyes and looked at the bright red flower juice in her hand, and her index finger tapped a few times on her forehead, and there were three more plum blossoms on her white and tender forehead. She is already stunning, and at this point, she adds a bit of charm that does not match her age.

"Third aunt......" Tang Yanning's smile became brighter and brighter, "There is a saying that there is a saying that the wind comes out of nowhere, and it may not be without a cause." There is also a saying, if no one knows, unless you do it. Whatever you do, there will always be traces, not to mention that the third aunt is not a very strict person. I don't have to deliberately check it, I can turn over as much evidence as I can. ”

What she despises the most is the third wife. looks shrewd, but I think that except for herself, everyone in the world is a fool.

"I remember!" Tang Yanning tilted her head and made a sudden realization, "There is a son in the house, named Wu Liang, right?" ”

As soon as she heard Wu Liang's words, the third wife's face suddenly changed greatly.

Wu Liang is a steward of the Tang State Mansion, and his daughter-in-law is the dowry girl of the third wife, and now she is also in charge of a mess in the inner courtyard, and the husband and wife are both the third wife's henchmen.

The third wife has been in charge of the house for many years, whether it is the silver that she embezzles from the public, or the hands and feet she does in the Lin family's dowry, it is all handled by Wu Liang and his wife.

At this moment, she heard Wu Liang's name from Tang Yanning's mouth, and the third wife's heart was about to jump out of her throat, "Yes, there is such a person." It is true that he is the son of our family, because he is diligent and cautious, and now he is in charge of the affairs of collecting rent in the house. Ah Ning, how did you think of him? ”

Tang Yanning nodded, "I see." Our Tang family is really generous, but he is a rent collector for the house, and he can even open a shop. Third aunt, do you know about this? ”

"How do you know?" The third lady blurted out. As soon as the words came out, she immediately realized that something was wrong, pursed her lips, and stopped talking.

Wu Liang and his wife opened a small shop outside, and on the surface, they said that they were selling groceries, but in fact, it was a trick to sell the things that were exchanged from the Guogong Mansion for the third wife, and then turned them into silver and stored them in the silver building. As soon as he entered and exited, a large amount of silver fell into the third wife's small treasury.

Tang Yanning has her own golden finger, so she naturally knows this.

She seems to have a hippie smile, but her eyes have never left the third wife. Seeing that the third wife's face had changed from the initial pale and panicked, she slowly calmed down, frowned, and seemed to be thinking about something, so she sneered, "I advise the third aunt not to think about anything else." ”

Don't look at the third wife's greed but timidity, Tang Yanning knows that the woman in front of her is very ruthless. In the original work, because the Lin family's dowry was swallowed up, the third wife directly pushed Wu Liang and his wife out to take the blame, and threatened them with their children that they couldn't say themselves. Wu Liang and his wife could only grit their teeth and admit their sins for the sake of their children, originally thinking that in this way, the third wife could watch them loyal and take care of their children. As a result, the third wife sold the two children who were less than ten years old far away.

At this point, the third lady calmed down and squinted her eyes at Tang Yanning, "What do you want?" ”

After a pause, he added, "I am in charge, it is the old lady's decision." The custody of your mother's dowry is also the entrustment of the old lady and your father. It can be seen that they trust me. With just a few words that don't hurt or itch, Ah Ning, you don't think you can make them doubt me, right? ”
