Chapter 65: Ask for advice with an open mind
When Qin Huai arrived at the main hall, Yan Xiangcheng was kneeling motionless in plain clothes, and Bai was still beside her to persuade her, but Yan Xiangcheng was still silent, as if he had the intention of pleading guilty.
But where does her temperament seem to be a person who will admit mistakes, there must be a trick waiting for Qin Huai, rather than waiting for her to point it out, it is better for Qin Huai to go up and learn by himself.
"Why is my sister so willful, but you have the power to take charge of the family with great difficulty, do you want to give it up so early?"
Seeing that Qin Huai was coming, Yan Xiangcheng was not as unpretentious as usual, but had a correct attitude, just like the gentleness when they first met.
"Makeup has seen my cousin, makeup knows that he is only a shallow learner, not sophisticated, these days this power in charge of the family is determined to return to his mother, and ask his cousin and father to be a witness."
Her attitude today is sincere, and her words are appropriate, as if Qin Huai is not perfect, she is not reasonable enough.
In fact, from Yan Xiangcheng's point of view, Qin Huai can understand what she is doing today. Instead of waiting for the January period to arrive, Qin Huai personally asked her to settle accounts, it was better to admit the mistake first and grasp the initiative in this matter.
Even if she returns the power of the family now, it will fall into the hands of the Bai family anyway, and if she waits for Qin Huai to ask for the crime, I don't know who will take the power of the family.
Qin Huai nodded, and he didn't rush forward to help her, recalling that she had a whimsical idea before and let herself kneel to her, so that she would suffer today.
"People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, and it is true to stop losses in time. I'm very glad that my sister can think so, and if you do well, you will naturally be rewarded, and if you don't do well, you will be punished. Since my sister is not qualified for this position, the family law that fell before is not exempt. ”
Although he affirmed her approach, Qin Huai was not stupid enough to expose this matter in a few words.
The Bai family, who was ready to reap the benefits of the fisherman, heard that she was going to go to the family law, and immediately came up to play a round, she wanted to hold Qin Huai, but was dodged by Qin Huai sideways.
The Bai family can't help it, she hasn't heard of Mu Guanqing's sudden visit before, what does this mean, it naturally shows that His Majesty has not given up on this daughter, and Qin Huai still has a great chance of returning to Xunyang. Besides, the matchmakers who came to the door recently almost broke the threshold of the Yan family, and this is not thanks to Mu Guanqing's face.
Thinking back to the previous difficulties with Qin Huai, as well as those stupid things, her intestines were full of regret during the days she was grounded. All she can do now is to serve this master as well as she can.
Withdrawing his hand stupidly, Bai cleared his throat and lowered his posture.
"I said Huai'er, although the makeup is not good, it can't be said to be completely remarkable. Besides, it's been so long since that incident, so why bother to bring it up again. ”
Qin Huai is strange, this mother and daughter are really against their will, they were tense a while ago, but today they immediately became intimate, I really don't know how many faces they have, they can switch freely like this.
"Remarkable?"
She hooked her lips and sneered, giving examples of the affairs that Yan Cheng took care of after becoming the head of the family, just to let the Bai family point out which place was remarkable.
"After the Qiu family entered the house, Zhang San made trouble, she was alarmist and lost the face of the Yan family; Dong Ji committed the precept of Ye Qi to take people, it was she who made a conclusion and caused Qin Huai to be humiliated; After the female official, the matchmaker proposed marriage, but she had no claim and was slow to react, which made others think that the Yan family was in the twilight of Qin. ”
Through Qin Huai's reminder, the people below gradually recalled these recent events, why these things started and how they fell, and outsiders saw it most clearly.
"Dare to ask my aunt, which of these piles is what you think is remarkable?"
Bai Shi knew that he was wrong, and lowered his eyes and was silent. But she can't watch her daughter suffer from family law in vain, there are many noble ladies who have come to ask for marriage recently, and Biyu's stupid girl can't count on it, in case the makeup is still broken, how can this be explained to others.
Qin Huai waited for Yan Cheng to agree, but she pursed her lips tightly, unwilling to say a word, if Qin Huai guessed correctly, she must have waited for her uncle to appear to save her.
She can only pretend to be pitiful and sympathetic, just like Qin Huai's terrible cousin Qin Yue, even if her uncle comes in a while, Qin Huai has a way to treat her.
At this moment, the arrival of Steward Qian broke the silence, and he slowly stepped forward with his head down, and replied with a little embarrassment.
"Madam, the second lady is not feeling good today, and the old man can't pull away from it, so he only says...... said that this matter was left to Miss Table to deal with with it all. ”
"Second lady? What Second Lady? ”
Bai Shi was stung by this word, and he couldn't wait to pull out the tongue of the money steward right now.
Steward Qian anticipated Bai's irritability, shrunk his neck, and didn't dare not squeak, so he could only keep his voice as low as possible, trying not to touch Bai's anger.
"Madame doesn't know yet, Master Fang Cai has already decided, from today onwards, Mrs. Qiu will be the second lady of our Yan Mansion, and her children can be raised by themselves without the need for others to put their beaks."
No need for someone else to put their beak in it.
Steward Qian's words have always been decent, and no one can be offended, even if they suspected that Qin Huai had ordered the ancestral hall at that time, Steward Qian didn't say anything serious. This time, he didn't even need to be beaked by others, this kind of words that were very easy to make the Bai family vomit blood could be said, and it must have been made clear by the uncle, so that Steward Qian must have brought it.
Qin Huai left for a while, and the Qiu clan coaxed his uncle into obedience, I am afraid that the uncle's refusal to show up is also the result of the Qiu clan's maneuvering. What does this mean, to repay Qin Huai for acting for her?
"Since there is something wrong with my uncle, then Huai'er will be ordered to put an end to this matter for the time being. Steward Qian, I don't know that the children of the Yan family offended the sages, disrespected their ancestors, and spread rumors to turn black and white upside down, how to judge according to the family law? ”
Yan Cheng ordered the ancestral hall to harm her before, she didn't forget, she originally wanted to punish her for several crimes, who knew that she suddenly softened today, and Qin Huai couldn't cheapen her.
Steward Qian settled down, looked at the Bai family first and then at Qin Huai, and then took out a booklet from his sleeve and explained it against it.
"This ...... There is no such case in family law. But there is only one way, if it is fratricidal, it will inevitably take away the identity of the Yan family and drive him out of the house. ”
This sentence is like a bolt from the blue to the Bai family and Yan Makeup, what does it mean to drive out of the Yan family, how is this possible?
Seeing Yan Xiangcheng tremble, Qin Huai almost laughed.
Qin Huai thought that he would open the flesh with a skin. Forget it, I didn't expect there to be such a rule, it seems that ...... Steward Qian also has a lot of complaints about Bai's mother and son, and he doesn't even have the heart to plead, so fair, fair and open.
"This is a bit unkind, after all, it is not good to make up my sister's brain, and I haven't really done anything irreparable, otherwise it ......"
If Yan Cheng is really driven out, the Bai family will not have to pull the old lady of the Bai family to make a scene, Qin Huaicai is not so stupid, Bai leaves a handle for others.
"It stands to reason that we are all sisters, and sisters should also take care of some affection between them. Actually, I still have something I want my sister to help me with, if my sister is doing well, let's reveal it, if it's not good......"
She also changed her attitude at this time, and suddenly pulled Yan Xiangcheng up, Yan Xiangcheng was suddenly dragged up and couldn't stand unsteadily because she had been kneeling for a long time, and she wanted to borrow Qin Huai's help, but Qin Huai saw the opportunity to withdraw her hand, making Yan Xiangcheng fall down again and fall a fart. Strat-squat.
Yan Cheng was in pain, holding her waist and couldn't stand up, but Cui Ming stepped forward to rub it for her, and barely helped her up.
Qin Huai didn't have time to give her time to breathe, and then said.
"I remember that my uncle took Aunt Qiu before, oh no, it was the Zhuangzi where the second lady once lived. The ancients often said that self-cultivation cultivates sentiments, and I also hope that my sister can go to the countryside to see the simple appearance and wash her heart, so as not to waste your mind and think about how to harm others. ”
These two sentences are undoubtedly two sharp blades, one is inserted in Bai's chest, and the other is inserted in Yan Xiangcheng's chest.
If you don't make a mistake, how can you be sent out by the main family, the nobles of Tianyu care about reputation, and the family is no exception, in order to protect the reputation of the woman, if there is no big mistake, it will not be easily sent away, let alone sent to Zhuangzi, which is tantamount to leaving people to fend for themselves.
Not only will the mother's family be criticized, but even the husband's family will be difficult to find in the future, which will soon be equivalent to being kicked out of the Yan family, the Bai family will naturally not agree.
"But my cousin told me that I must spare no effort to make up for my cousin."
Yan Xiangcheng gritted his teeth at this moment, and his expression was a little angry in the kind of grievance, which was not pitiful, nor was it difficult.
"Your sister Biyu has been in a bad mood lately, if you can think of ways to make her feel comfortable, then we will still be good sisters."
Qin Huai felt guilty about the previous official crossing, if he could make Yan Biyu regain his strength by torturing Yan Makeup, it would also be a good thing, according to the grudge between the two sisters, Yan Biyu would naturally not let her go easily, after all, it was to make Yan Biyu happy, and it was none of Qin Huai's business how she was punished.
At this time, Qin Huai held the power of life and death in Yan Chengcheng's hands, and the Bai family could only bow his head and persuade: "This is easy to do, Zhang Cheng quickly agreed, you sisters in the department, how can it be your business to make Biyu comfortable." ”
Yan Cheng can only be hard at this time, otherwise it is not a trivial thing to be thrown on Zhuangzi, thinking about Zhang Sanzhi and the others before, she doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of the Qiu family.
Seeing that Yan Chengcheng's matter has been dealt with almost here, and the Bai family's sloppy appearance, she must be waiting for Qin Huai to announce her power in charge.
But how can this power of the family be so easy to return to her hands?
She sat back on the pear blossom wood chair in the front hall, slowly adjusted her dress, and suddenly had a lot of fun.
"Since Sister Cheng has already experienced the feeling of being in charge of the family once, it is natural to let Sister Jade experience it once, lest someone say that our Yan family favors one over the other, and there is no reward or punishment. Does my aunt have any objections? ”
"Natural ......" does not dare to object.
Before, Qin Huai felt that Yan Biyu had doubts about Yan Xiangcheng's power to take charge of the family, and she couldn't eat for several days, so today she will be a favor and give this right to Yan Biyu. Whether she can really surpass her scheming sister depends on herself.
"But Biyu is pure-minded, I'm afraid I'm not used to getting the power of this family just now, and I still need my aunt to worry a lot about this time in charge of the family. If Sister Biyu does well, naturally she is also your aunt who teaches well, isn't it? ”
Qin Huai deliberately added one more sentence, that is, he hoped that the Bai clan would not have any crooked ideas. If Yan Biyu doesn't do well, it can only mean that she is not good enough as her biological mother, and the pros and cons Bai naturally understands.
