Chen Twelve smiled sweetly and greeted Chen Weilin and Lin: "Dad, little mother." ”

Chen Weilin nodded, motioned for Chen Twelve to sit down, and after Chen Twelve sat down, Chen Weilin picked up the chopsticks and asked, "Listen to your little mother, she returned your mother's dowry box to you, didn't you want it?" ”

Chen Twelve glanced at Lin, and said to Chen Weilin obediently: "After all, it is my mother's thing, I am young, I am not afraid of breaking it, so I should keep it for my mother." ”

Hearing this, Lin glared at Chen Twelve proudly, and before he was happy, he heard Chen Twelve say again: "It's just that my daughter is going to get married after all, and when the dowry matters are going to be prepared, I have to ask my mother to prepare, after all, this is not my own business, and it also represents the face of the Chen Mansion, if it is too shabby, the Lu family will not wait to see and not say, and if it is known, I still think how poor and sour our our Chen Mansion is, and who will dare to marry Sister Fu'er at that time." ”

If this whip doesn't hit himself, he doesn't know that it hurts, Lin thought that he could pinch Chen Twelve with this means, but he didn't expect to be countered by Chen Twelve, to say that Lin cares most about his daughter Chen Fuyu, if she wants to say that this matter is not good for Chen Fuyu, she will not do it.

Chen Weilin nodded, looked at Chen Twelve and said, "Twelve, you are still grown up, and you have a long-term view than your sister than your little mother, not bad." Then he turned around and instructed the Lin family: "Since the twelve have said so, you should prepare a dowry, which can only be expensive and not shabby, and the Lu family will come to see it at that time, do you know?" ”

The Lin clan is now difficult to ride a tiger, so he can only smile awkwardly and nod, and then bow his head and slam the rice to reduce his sense of existence.

Chen Fuyu heard it on the side, although he was not happy, but he also knew that it was futile to say anything now, it was better to eat honestly.

A meal was spent in this eerie atmosphere.

After eating, Chen Twelve went back to his courtyard, and was about to open the door, but suddenly saw a person kneeling in the inconspicuous corner of the door, which startled Chen Twelve.

"Hey! Who? Chen Twelve's hand had already touched the wooden bolt placed by the door, and he was about to copy the wooden stick if something was wrong, and the black figure spoke: "Miss, it's a slave maid-"

Chen Twelve heard it, it was Bi'er's voice, and he didn't know how long this girl had been kneeling here, Chen Twelve put down the wooden stick and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's you, why are you here without lights in the middle of the night." ”

It was dark, Chen Twelve couldn't see Bi'er's expression, but he could hear Bi'er's disordered breathing and low crying: "Miss, the slave is at fault, please forgive the slave!" ”

Here it comes! Chen Twelve thought to himself.

"Bi'er, what are you doing here, there's something you can't talk about, come on, come into the house and talk about it." Chen Twelve smiled and led Bi'er into the house.

As soon as he entered the house, Chen Twelve pressed Bi'er on the stool, Bi'er looked uneasy, and Chen Twelve comforted: "It's okay, let you sit on it." ”

Bi'er sat on pins and needles, watching Chen Twelve go to light the kerosene lamp by himself, and sit opposite him, Chen Twelve said, "Say, what's the matter." ”

As soon as Chen Twelve spoke, Bi'er wanted to slide under the seat, but Chen Twelve straightened her up and said to her with a smile: "I don't eat people, what are you so afraid of me for?" Could it be that being a thief is weak-hearted? ”

As soon as these words came out, Bi'er knelt down completely, kowtowing and crying: "Miss, Miss, the slave didn't mean it, the slave was forced to be helpless." ”

Chen Twelve knew Bi'er's off-string sound well, cocked Erlang's legs and said, "Are you forced to be helpless, or are you looking at money?" ”

Bi'er immediately raised her head and looked at Chen Twelve in surprise with wide open eyes.

Chen Twelve continued: "Your father is sick, your mother is a fool, and your brother is a gambler. ”

Bi'er listened to Chen Twelve's words and whimpered again.

Yes, in fact, Bi'er's life experience is quite pitiful, her father was lame when he was young, and took her stupid mother as his wife, first gave birth to her brother, and then gave birth to her, where did she think that after giving birth to Bi'er, Bi'er's mother's madness became more and more serious, and she couldn't take care of herself, and Bi'er's father had no choice but to sell Bi'er into Chen's mansion.

Recently, Bi'er's brother owed a lot of gambling debts outside, and the debtor didn't ask for money to beat Bi'er's father, Bi'er's father couldn't afford to be sick, Bi'er took her meager savings home to see her father, but was robbed by her brother to do gambling money.

At this time, the Lin family took advantage of the situation and told Bi'er that she could help cure her father, as long as Bi'er helped the Lin family secretly monitor Chen Twelve's every move, and then used Bi'er's brother's gambling debts to blackmail Bi'er to help her eat chin beans in Chen Twelve's diet.

Bi'er is a timid person, she was already frightened by Chen Twelve's seemingly nothing, and today she confessed everything in front of Chen Twelve, although she felt guilty, she also felt relieved.

"Miss, the slave doesn't ask for forgiveness from the eldest lady, it's just that my father is pitiful, and he hasn't enjoyed the happiness of his children for a day, please pity my father and give him a little money to settle down." Bi'er cried a handful of snot and tears, looking very pitiful.

It's a pity that Chen Twelve doesn't eat this set, Chen Twelve said to Bi'er: "I can ignore the fact that you colluded with the Lin family to drug me, I can also treat the fact that you hurt me as if it didn't happen, and I can even help you solve your gambler brother, but I have one condition." ”

Bi'er raised her head and looked at Chen Twelve earnestly: "No matter what the conditions, the slave will promise you!" ”

Chen Twelve raised a hand: "You don't have to rush to agree, listen to me first." ”

"I want you to pretend that nothing happened today, continue to serve by my side, you can do whatever the Lin family wants you to do, but you have to tell me everything the Lin family told you." Chen Twelve said his request with a relaxed face.

Bi'er was stunned, what does the eldest lady mean to be a two-faced person?

Chen Twelve was not surprised by Bi'er's reaction, and picked up the teapot from the table to a glass of water for himself: "Don't worry about this, you can think about it carefully, and come back to me tomorrow." ”

Bi'er knelt on the ground and ignored it, just when Chen Twelve was about to fall asleep, Bi'er's voice was like a thin thread: "Miss, is it possible that as long as I do what Miss says, Miss Da can help me get rid of my brother?" Bi'er deliberately forced herself not to think about what the solution was, but she had already sold herself to the Chen Mansion, and her father was alone outside the mansion, so if she wanted him to be better, she couldn't have the scourge of Bi'er's brother.

Chen Twelve rubbed his eyes and said, "I will do what I say, if I can't do it by then, you can tell the Lin family about me." ”
