Chapter Seventy-Four: Separation
Mrs. Ruyang, who was not far from the door, froze in her footsteps, felt that she had come at the wrong time, and even turned around and wanted to go back.
Shen Mei saw that her daughter snatched what she wanted to say, and echoed, "That's it, you are such a big person, how can you make such a mistake, the rumors are more sensible than you." ”
"Mother, this big brother has to teach a lesson, he owes so many gambling debts, it's too unusual." Saying that, Mu Yu stood on Mu Heyun's right side like a rebel, and his soft hand carried Mu Heyun's right shoulder.
"I don't think it's as good as going to the family law, playing a fifty-big board, and starving him for three days and three nights without food, so that the eldest brother can learn a lesson." Mu Yu said indignantly.
Mu Heyun didn't say anything, but Shen Mei was worried, this lesson is a lesson, but it would be a bit too serious for the fifty boards to be hungry for another three days.
Mu Yi had a bitter face, as if he knew that he was wrong, but when he heard the punishment that Mu Yu said, he knelt on the ground in response, "Father, mother, I know that I have made a mistake, and I am willing to accept the punishment." ”
"Okay, this is what you said yourself, come on, take this rebel down, give me a fifty big board, and starve him for three days and three nights." Mu Heyun breathed a sigh of relief, this is his own son, how can he not feel distressed, but if he doesn't let this rebel son have a lesson, he will not necessarily make any big mistakes in the future.
As soon as Shen Mei heard that this punishment was too severe, even if Mu Yi's body was stiff, she would lose half her life in such a circle, but before she could speak, someone stopped her first.
"I'll see who dares to beat my eldest grandson." When the old lady entered the courtyard, she just heard Mu Heyun's punishment, and walked in front of Mu Yi with a cane.
Although Mu Yi made the old lady unhappy some time ago, but in the end, it was the eldest grandson, this person's heart is biased, the old lady is angry, and when it should hurt, she is also distressed.
Mu Heyun immediately took it up, stepped forward and helped the old lady, "Mother, why are you here?" ”
The people in the third room followed behind the old lady, and they also came in one after another to sit in their positions.
"Hmph, why am I here? If I hadn't come, you would have killed my grandson. The old lady angrily slammed her cane on the ground, "banging".
As she spoke, the old lady glanced at Shen Mei again, and was even more dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law, "Then Mu Yi is also your son, and you punish him like that, don't you feel distressed?" ”
Shen Mei saw that Mu Yi was saved by the old lady, and even if he was scolded at this time, he felt a little better in his heart.
Mu Yu stood aside and pouted secretly, this old lady did not forget to reprimand her mother no matter when she arrived. But when she came, fortunately, she saved the innocent eldest brother.
"Grandmother, don't talk about your mother first, save your eldest brother, my father is angry, and I don't dare to persuade him." Mu Yu changed his tone and returned to Mu Yi with the topic of the old lady.
After the last Mu Liangxuan's incident, the old lady also looked at Mu Liang a lot, this girl is smart and smart, but she still thinks about the Luanping Marquis Mansion, at least better than her mother. "Tell me, what happened, I heard that someone here is going to kill my eldest grandson?"
The old lady squinted at Mu Heyun, it seemed that this "person" was none other than her own son.
"Grandmother, I really blame the eldest brother for this." Halfway through Mu Yu's words, he glanced at Mu Hening tentatively, "The eldest brother lost the gambling money in front of him, and he owed 10,000 taels, and now the people outside are already collecting debts." ”
"Ten thousand taels?" Mrs. Ruyang was surprised, "This 10,000 taels is not a small amount. ”
The old lady also frowned, her eldest grandson has always been sensible, how can he go to gamble and owe 10,000 taels? "Yi'er, you say, what's going on?"
"Grandmother, I met two people in the gambling house that day, I won at the beginning, who would have thought that the last one would lose so much." Mu Yi applied what he and Mu Yu had done before, firstly, to complete the story, and secondly, if Mu Liangxuan suspected that he had been deceived one day, he would definitely not guess the two of them.
"You met it too?" The old lady was shocked, how could this story be exactly the same as what Xuan'er said at the beginning?
Mu Heyun felt wrong just by listening to the word "also", "Why did my mother say it?" Could it be that in addition to this rebel, there are still people in the house who have been deceived? ”
Mu Liangxuan's fat body trembled, he didn't expect to be able to mention himself at this time.
This matter has long passed, and the old lady naturally doesn't want to mention it to Mu Heyun again, "No, I just said it casually, what matters now is how to pay back the money on Yi'er's side." ”
"Also? He has his own money to gamble, and he will let him pay it back himself. Mu Heyun glared at Mu Yi.
"How can he pay back 10,000 taels himself? Didn't you want his life? And Yi'er was only deceived outside, otherwise how could she owe so much money, if you get together, the house will be able to make up 10,000 taels after all. The old lady took a deep breath and looked at the third room.
"Didn't Xuan'er make a lot of money recently, and now you can help your eldest brother too."
The fear still came, Mrs. Ruyang was embarrassed, and began to complain, "Mother, this matter was said earlier, and we don't have any money now." ”
"Didn't you still have money the other day? Why is there no money now? "The old lady is unhappy, she knows all the fancy intestines of Mrs. Ruyang on weekdays, but because of Xuan'er, she hasn't said anything. But now that Yi'er has a problem, this woman still only cares about herself like this, naturally she can't do it.
"Mother, you also know that Xuan'er is in business, and sometimes she makes money and sometimes loses money in this business, and all the money Xuan'er made before was used to buy goods, and there is no cash at all." Mrs. Ruyang said and pulled the jewelry on her body, "Mother, you see, these jewelry are all old, and I don't have the money to buy new ones recently." ”
The old lady was dissatisfied, the three rooms said that there was no money, but the time of no money was too coincidental, and she could also see that this Mrs. Ruyang was not willing to pay off Mu Yi's debts at all.
"Then go to the treasury, can't you take out 10,000 taels from the entire treasury of the Luanping Marquis Mansion?" The old lady told the housekeeper to go to the treasury to get the account.
"Mother, the treasury of the Hou Mansion is used for household use, if all of them are paid off to Yi'er, how will hundreds of people in the mansion live after that!" Mrs. Ruyang hurriedly spoke to stop it.
Last time Xuan'er owed a debt, she didn't dare to go to the treasury to get money, why is Mu Yi different today? Just because he is the eldest son of a big house, the treatment is different?
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what do you want, do you want to see that Yi'er can't pay off her gambling debts, and our Luanping Marquis Mansion has become a joke in the entire capital?" The old lady's eyes widened angrily, she pulled the Buddha beads in her hand, and her fingertips turned white with force.
"Mother, I didn't mean that, it's just that this ten thousand taels is really not a small amount, and this Hou Mansion also has to live, isn't it? If we pay off our debts, how will we live? ”
"Life? Wouldn't you just spend less money in the future? The old lady clenched her fists, although the accounts in this Hou Mansion were taken care of by Shen Mei, but they had to be seen by her, the cost of three rooms in this mansion was the largest, and she had always looked at it.
Mrs. Ruyang smiled mockingly, "Mother, what you said is not right, we are just daily expenses, how can we be wronged with money?" And this mistake was made by Mu Yi, why did the entire Hou Mansion pay off Mu Yi's debts? I think the eldest brother is right, this debt should be paid by himself. ”
"I see your wings are stiff, huh?" Although the old lady said that she was eccentric, she had Luanping Houfu as a whole in her heart, one was prosperous and one was lost, no matter who was in trouble, they should help each other.
"When Yu'er and Shen Mei helped Xuan'er, they didn't say anything, and now they don't let you help Yi'er, I just use the money in the treasury, aren't you happy? Who do you think is in charge of this Luanping Marquis Mansion? The old lady slammed the table angrily.
Although Mu Heyun was angry, he had been listening to the old lady, but when did Yu'er and Mrs. help Mu Liangxuan, why did he never know?
Shen Mei avoided Mu Heyun's gaze and didn't dare to look at him. Mu Heyun thought of the old lady's "also" being deceived again, and instantly understood the cause and effect.
It's just that who is so bold that he deceived Mu Liangxuan and Mu Yi for so much silver one after another, isn't he afraid of being an enemy of the Luanping Marquis Mansion?
Maybe it was because he knew his child, Mu Heyun, who was still angry, just caught Mu Yu and Mu Yi looking at each other in the air, although his son had a guilty face, he didn't repent. And a hint of schadenfreude flashed in Yu'er's eyes, thinking of what Mu He Yunden had a headache when he thought of something.
These two little rabbit cubs must be hiding from them and doing something behind them.
"Mother, you say who is in charge in this house, I will discuss it with you, this Luan Pinghou is hereditary, the eldest brother is the eldest son, we naturally can't say anything if we do Luan Pinghou, but now that we Xuan'er has earned so much money, he should also have some weight in the house!"
In fact, at this point today, Mrs. Ruyang has nothing to be afraid of, anyway, she has already planned to split up, and she doesn't want to look at the old lady and Mu Heyun's faces anymore.
"What do you say? What do you mean by that? "Except for Mu Heyun in the mansion, no one can challenge the authority of the old lady, even Shen Mei is respectful and respectful on weekdays, she is a three-room lady, who gave her the courage.
"I didn't say it before, I was afraid that my mother would be sad, but today I think some things are still clear." Mrs. Ruyang straightened her waist and didn't take the old lady in her eyes at all, "I think this Hou Mansion has long been of the same mind, and it is better for us to separate as soon as possible." ”
"Separation?" The old lady stared at Mrs. Ruyang in disbelief, "You dare to mention the separation?" ”
"Yes, separation." Mrs. Ruyang deliberately repeated in an aggravated tone, "We won't help Mu Yi repay this gambling debt, it is he who owes the money, we have no reason to repay the debt to him, as for the things of the Hou Mansion, one for the big house, one for us, in the future, we will each have our own way, and we don't want the name of the Hou Ye, but Mu Yi's gambling debt, don't want to affect our heads." ”
