Mrs. Wen Changbo has long since lost patience.

"As I said, the poison was found in that box of rouge, if your government doesn't believe it, let's go to court. My family Yingxue has been poisoned, and she has to be bitten by you, but she said that she was poisoned elsewhere to frame you, and I felt toothy when I heard it. That's it for today. Yingxue, go back with me. ”

Su Yingxue got up in despair and staggered to keep up with Mrs. Wen Changbo's pace.

How dare Chu Cailiang let things get to the point of going to court?

He has been difficult to be promoted over the years, and he finally climbed into the family affairs of the Gongding Palace, and he really shouldn't have any more complications at this time!

"Stay, stay! This matter is already clear, I want to come to Mrs. Wen Changbo did not directly sue the government, that is, for the sake of the friendship between the two families, please move to the flower hall, let's carefully discuss a way to do both, okay? ”

Chu Cailiang is not stupid, if Mrs. Wen Changbo wants to file a lawsuit, it will be Shuntianfu's arrest that comes to the door today.

After all, Su Yingxue was not born to Mrs. Wen Changbo, and Wen Changbo's mansion has fallen a lot over the years, and it is clear what Mrs. Wen Changbo wants to do.

"That's it, look down and don't look up, my uncle and Lord Chu are officials in the same dynasty, there is really no need to be too embarrassed." Mrs. Wen Changbo nodded reluctantly.

"Thank you, Mrs. Wen Changbo."

Chu Cailiang swallowed his hand and invited Mrs. Wen Changbo and Su Yingxue to go to the flower hall for tea, and the guards of Wen Changbo's Mansion also followed.

There was silence in the antechamber.

Half an hour later, Chu Cailiang came back with a pale face.

"Mrs. Wen Changbo gave two ways, either privately, or in court."

The old lady hurriedly poured a cup of tea for Chu Cailiang, "Cailiang, I'm afraid it's not okay to go to court, it will affect your career." ”

"yes, big brother." Chu Caijun also said.

"How do I not know? said that there were two paths for me to choose, but I could only choose privately. The so-called selfishness is compensation for silver. ”

The old lady frowned: "How much compensation do they want?" ”

"Eight thousand taels of silver." Chu Cailiang gritted his teeth.

"Eight thousand taels? Why didn't she rob it! The old lady was shocked, blushing and cursing with a thick neck, "I think Wenchangbo's Mansion is poor and crazy!" ”

Aunt Wang also screamed: "No! Where did we get the eight thousand taels of silver? ”

Eight thousand taels of silver is a huge sum of money. For a prosperous family like the Anluhou Mansion, the dowry for marrying a concubine is two thousand taels of silver. Eight thousand taels of silver is enough for a down-and-out family like Wenchangbo Mansion to marry a daughter-in-law for four sons!

"Can't do it? Do we still have the right to say no? Standing up, Chu Cailiang spun around the ground irritably, "Now the knife is on the neck, and if you don't nod, you will be slaughtered like this!" ”

"Then let her go to court!" Chu Mengying screamed, "Anyway, I didn't poison it, whoever poisoned it will let him pay for his life!" ”

"Shut up!" Chu Cailiang scolded angrily, "You evil obstacle! I haven't settled accounts with you yet! On weekdays, you look like a dog, pretending to be a lady, but in private, you can even grab your sister's things! What about your propriety? It's all in the belly of a dog! ”

Chu Mengying's face turned red when she was scolded, and she sobbed. Aunt Wang pinched the handkerchief, but she didn't dare to argue for her daughter.

"This money must be compensated, and once things get out of trouble, my career will be ruined. At that time, our family can only go back to the countryside to farm, and our Chu family's sons and daughters will have no future. ”

"For the sake of long-term consideration, it is indeed necessary to be private." Chu Caijun hesitated, "But what should I do with such a large sum of silver?" Can the eldest brother save 8,000 taels of silver over the years? Our family's sacrificial fields and ancestral properties can be sold for about 3,000 taels. But if these are all sold, I am afraid that the ancestors will scold our brothers to death in the middle of the night. ”

Chu Cailiang said irritably: "Where is it reduced to selling ancestral property?" Let me think again. ”

"Think, what do you think?" The old lady glared at Chu Cailiang irritably, "I treat you as a clever person, and I can rest assured that you have worked hard in the capital all these years, but look at it, how big a fire is in your back house?" Look at what your aunt has taught your children? Chu Huayun can bully his eldest brother to be blind and put rat feces in his tea! Chu Mengying can bully her daughter-in-law, and she is so arrogant that she goes to rob her daughter-in-law's rouge! ”

"Old lady! We ......"

"Kneel, did I let you speak!"

Aunt Wang saw that the signs were wrong, and as soon as she spoke, she was stopped by the old lady, so she could only kneel down obediently.

"The old lady sees it clearly, to put it mildly, Meng Ying finally became friends with the daughter of Wenchang Bofu, this is also a network in the future, she really has no reason to harm her handkerchief, what is the benefit of making such a thing to Meng Ying? This poison is clearly someone who wants to harm Mengying! ”

"Are you still quibbling? What good daughters do you raise? I'll just say that you girls are all things that can't be on the high platform, and after only a few good days, you're gone! Cailiang is working hard for the family, but you are doing a miasma at home! In the past, you treated your concubine harshly, acted unfairly, and coveted the property of the Mo Gong in private, but now you have taught a good lady to be this virtue, and the family will be ruined! Can you still be in charge like this? ”

As soon as the old lady said this, Chu Cai's conscience jumped.

The old lady took advantage of the victory to pursue: "Wang, you will hand over the cards, for the good of this family, in order not to make a family break in the future, you don't have to be in charge of the family in the future." ”

"Old lady! You can't! ”

Can't? I am Cailiang's mother, who are you? It's just a concubine, it's already your blessing to give you the face to let you manage the family for more than ten years, you should be greedy for everything, and it's not enough to be happy? ”

"I didn't! Sir, I ......."

"Alright." Chu Cailiang knew that the old lady was waiting for this opportunity, and he was arguing, afraid that the hat of unfilial piety would be buckled, but now that the general trend has gone, he can only say, "The mother is old, and she has to work hard for her son's back house, and the son is really guilty." ”

The old lady was overjoyed, but she sighed on her face: "That's it, who made you the hope of our family?" You are a good official, and the entire Chu family is still counting on you. ”

Chu Cailiang instructed Aunt Wang to get the pair of cards.

Aunt Wang almost turned her back on her breath when she cried, and cried and handed over the power of the housekeeper.

Chu Mengying was also completely panicked, her good life over the years was built on the basis of Aunt Wang's housekeeper, and Aunt Wang lost her power in the future, what should she do?

Aunt Sun was holding Chu Yunjiao's hand on the side, and almost burst out loud when she saw that Aunt Wang had lost her power.

Unexpectedly, the poisonous rouge didn't ruin Chu Junlan, and didn't let her see Chu Junlan and Wang's dog eat dog, but it brought unexpected joy!

Aunt Sun was proud, and when she looked up, she was looking at Chu Junlan with a smile.

Although she was smiling, her eyes were as cold as knives, as if she had seen everything.

Aunt Sun's heart is shrinking!

No way? Didn't this little hoof say that she asked because she found "Luoyan", in order to determine whether Su Yingxue would be poisoned?

Could it be that she discovered that rouge was poisonous from the beginning?
