"I'll give double the silver taels?" Yu Mochu trembled his hands and took out the silver taels from the money bag.

At this time, although it was the end of spring, the air was still mixed with cold, and his wet clothes, if he wanted to say that it was not cold, it was called coaxing.

With trembling hands, he offered the sludge-stained silver taels.

The boss looked at the silver taels in his hand, frowned slightly, and seemed to be embarrassed, he hurriedly took out some silver taels and put them in his hand, and said urgently: "Three times?" Seeing that the boss still didn't squeak, he simply covered all the silver taels, "Give it all to you, this should always work, right?" When everyone is in trouble, the effort of raising their hands is a relief for those in need. ”

"That's it, that's it." The boss reluctantly complied, perhaps because he was afraid that the sludge would dirty his hands, and took out a sweat towel from his waist, asked him to put the silver taels on the sweat towel, and beckoned the man to pull the carriage over.

Yu Mochu got into the carriage and asked the coachman to take him back to Yufu.

The boss was still there carefully rubbing the silver taels, rummaging over and over to check the authenticity of the silver taels.

Sima Mansion, Liuying Pavilion, Zhong Xiaoniang's residence.

At this moment, Zhong Xiaoniang was sitting on the chair, pouring tea into her stomach cup after cup as Du Kang to relieve her sorrow and boredom.

Sima Daiyuan's actions, how could she not make her angry.

"Pour tea!" After drinking all the cups, she put the teacup on the table and ordered Wen's mother to continue pouring tea.

Mother Wen carried the teapot, pressed the lid of the teapot, and poured tea on the teacup, but unfortunately, the teapot was empty.

She lifted the lid of the teapot and looked only at the remaining tea dregs. whispered to Zhong Xiaoniang: "Zhong Xiaoniang, the tea is gone, the slave woman will go and make a new pot of tea." ”

"What's the brew? It is said that borrowing wine to eliminate sorrow is more sorrowful, but I never thought that borrowing tea to eliminate sorrow can also be more sorrowful. Let's go and see, is the big girl back? It's best to have someone wait at the door and bring me directly when she returns. ”

"Yes, the slave will go." Mother Wen responded, carrying the empty teapot and exiting the room.

She called Mei'er to go to the gate of Sima Mansion to inspect it, looked at the street from afar, and did not see Sima Dai's figure, she left Mei'er to wait at the door, and turned back to the mansion by herself.

Within half a pillar of incense, Sima Daiyuan's carriage arrived at the gate of Sima Mansion, and Jade jumped out of the carriage first, brought a low stool, and helped the smiling Sima Daiyuan out of the carriage.

Mei'er greeted her from afar, bowed and saluted, and according to Mother Wen's explanation, she took Sima Daiyuan directly to Zhong Xiaoniang's bedroom.

As soon as Sima Daiyuan entered the door, she saw the fragrant meal on the table, she was hungry and tired, and Zhong Xiaoniang couldn't care about greetings, and went straight to the table to enjoy the food, "I just said how did A-Niang let Mei'er come to welcome me, it turned out that she had prepared good dishes for me!" I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry, or A-Niang is good to her daughter. ”

Seeing her like this, Zhong Xiaoniang roared angrily: "Kneel!" ”

"Auntie, my daughter is tired all day, hungry and tired. Besides, my daughter is right, what kind of fire are you? ”

"Is it because the wings have grown stiff, and I don't listen to what my mother says?" Zhong Xiaoniang saw that Sima Daiyuan was deaf to her words, and she was so angry that she got up.

No matter how willful Sima Daiyuan is, she still has this basic filial piety, and she can't do it if she disobeys her biological mother.

She dragged a chicken leg and knelt down in front of Zhong Xiaoniang while eating, looking like nothing happened.

"Auntie, you can rest assured, your daughter's marriage with Yu Mochu will definitely not be successful." While nibbling on the chicken legs, she slurred her speech and proudly boasted to Zhong Xiaoniang about her achievements.

Zhong Xiaoniang was furious, pointed at Sima Daiyuan, who was disapproving, and wandered in place, her lips trembling.

After a long time, her mood eased slightly, sat down, and said to Mother Wen beside her: "Mother Wen, go and ask for family law." ”

Mother Wen heard this, but she didn't move, and her face showed embarrassment.

"Mother Wen, what are you doing in a daze?" Seeing this, Zhong Xiaoniang turned her face and asked angrily.

"Auntie, you won't be so forgetful, right? Now that only the doctor has the right to ask for this law, where do you ask Mother Wen to ask for the family law. Sima Daiyuan said casually.

When Zhong Xiaoniang heard this, she added another anger to her heart, and her nails squeaked at the case. muttered: "I'm really obsessed, I would actually believe your stinky girl's words." Now that the big mistake has been made, regret will not help. If your father knows, he will not skin you. ”

"The dust is undecided, why does A-Niang insist that her daughter is at fault?"

"How dare you quibble? If you treat the son of the Yu family like that, how will his family give up. Just wait! I didn't want to marry before, and no one dared to marry if you wanted to marry in the future, ...... Just wait to go to the nunnery! Zhong Xiaoniang stood up and swayed back and forth in front of Sima Dai's eyes, that is a hater who hates iron but not steel!

"Auntie, are you actually following me? That's it, you don't believe what I say anyway, so let's wait and see! You will believe that what I am doing today is infallible. My stomach is already rumbling with hunger, and I only have half a life left at the moment, and my aunt doesn't want me to starve to death, right? Sima Daiyuan touched her flat stomach and muttered and said, seeing Zhong Xiaoniang staring at her silently, she got up from the ground as she spoke, "Since that's the case, then I won't kneel, I'm not wrong, I'll wait until I'm full and drink." With that, he walked towards the table full of food.

Yu Mochu dragged his muddy and tired body towards the door of Yu's mansion, and after knocking on the door, he was almost blasted out as a beggar by the housekeeper who didn't recognize him.

The housekeeper hurriedly closed the door and ran to tell the boy that he had returned.

Liu, who was far away in the backyard, heard the sound and hurried to the front yard to greet him.

Yu Mochu went out to deliver a breakfast, and never returned, it was already dark at this time, and the Liu family was already in a hurry. The people who sent him to find him have not brought back good news.

At this moment, Yu Mochu came back safely by herself, and the hanging stone in her heart finally fell, hating Yu Mochu for not being able to appear in front of her immediately.

When she saw Yu Mochu for the first time, she was dumbfounded, and her trembling hands hung in front of Yu Mochu, Yu Mochu's body was muddy, so that her hands subconsciously stopped approaching, "Son! You're ...... What's going on? ”

In response to her, Yu Mochu sneezed again and again.

She hurriedly instructed the maid next to her to prepare hot water, change clothes and ginger tea for Yu Mochu, and led Yu Mochu to the backyard in a hurry.

At this moment, Yu Mochu was already taking a hot bath in the side hall next to the bedroom.

Liu wandered anxiously in his bedroom, waiting for him to come out and ask what was going on.

After a long time, Yu Mochu changed into his robe and pushed the door out.

Liu hurriedly picked up the ginger tea prepared on the desk and greeted him, "Son! Warm to a moderate extent, drink quickly to drive away the cold. ”

Yu Mochu took the tea bowl expressionlessly, raised his head and drank it all, after drinking, handed the empty bowl back to Liu's hand, and walked in the direction of the sleeping couch, "Mother, the child is tired, please go back!" ”

His face was pale, he was in a trance, and he was clearly in shock. But he fell down to the couch, and his boots didn't bother to take off, and he fell on the couch like a walking corpse.

Seeing him like this, how could Liu rest assured, he hurriedly chased after him, sat on the edge of the couch, and whispered: "Son! Are you alright, why don't you call a doctor to take a look? ”

"Mother, my son is fine." With that, he pulled the quilt, rolled over, and slept with his head covered.

"Where have you been all this day?"

"I didn't go anywhere, I just went to the city with a few classmates to go out of the city, and I accidentally fell into the quagmire."

"That's it!" When Liu Shi heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and helped him cover the quilt, "Then you can cover it and sleep, you are young and strong, and sweating should be fine." ”

Yu Mochu responded, and the Liu family left and gently closed the door.

Liuying Pavilion of Sima Mansion, Zhong Xiaoniang's residence.

At this moment, lightning and thunder, heavy rain outside the house, and the sound of the wind roaring, roaring like a wild beast in the night, broke the original silence of the night.

Sima Qu sat on the soft couch, coughing constantly, Su Xiaoniang was waiting by the side, kept patting his back for him, and soothed angrily: "Husband, don't be angry, don't be angry." ”

Zhong Xiaoniang and Sima Daiyue knelt on the ground in embarrassment, Sima Daiyuan was still arguing, "Yes, I just don't want to marry that wretched, I like Liu Liyue, I just want to marry Liu Liyue, and I want to marry him when I die......"

"Don't say it, Nie'er, don't talk about it......" Zhong Xiaoniang begged bitterly while persuading Sima Dai: "Husband, Nie'er is still young, and it is inevitable that she will do something wrong at the beginning of her love, will you forgive her this time?" After the concubine is married, she must be disciplined well, and she will never be allowed to make mistakes again. On the Yu family's side, the concubine went to the door in person to apologize, even if she knelt three times and knocked nine times, the concubine body must have made them change their minds. ”

"Three kneels and nine knocks? Do you think Sima Fu's face is not big enough? ”

"Father, I just want to be with someone I like, what's wrong? What kind of face did you lose Sima Mansion? As soon as Sima Daiyuan said this, Sima Qu was so angry that he couldn't stop coughing.

"You...... cough cough cough ......"

Su Xiaoniang hurriedly handed the Jinpa to Sima Qu's mouth, and a ball of blood appeared on the Jinpa like a blooming blood lotus, and Su Xiaoniang was shocked and shouted: "Husband, you vomited blood." ”

When Zhong Xiaoniang heard this, she knelt at Sima Qu's feet, "Husband, husband...... I'm sorry, it's all the concubines who have no way to teach the daughters, don't be angry, the concubines will send someone to call the doctor......"

Sima Qu kicked her hard and knocked her to the ground.

At this moment, she was extremely embarrassed, unkempt, and her face was full of tears.

",. Man, get out of here, I don't want to see you again. Sima Qu roared loudly.

Zhong Xiaoniang looked at the angry Sima Qu in front of her, listening to his cold words, her heart was dripping blood.

At this time, Su Xiaoniang next to her echoed with a smug voice: "Are you deaf?" Can't you hear your husband telling you to get out? also deliberately pretended to be pitiful to anyone. Is it not enough to make the husband angry? Get out! Cheap. Person! ”

Zhong Xiaoniang moved her eyes to Su Xiaoniang, and stared at Su Xiaoniang with teary eyes.

Su Shuyan, aren't you in confinement? Why are you here? Why? Why?

"Hahahaha......" Su Xiaoniang's crazy and presumptuous laughter echoed throughout the room.

Su Xiaoniang ordered people to come in and forcibly dragged her and Sima Daiyuan out. She struggled, begged for mercy, fear struck her.
