Chapter Forty-Nine: The Implicated Daughter

Du Huo in the study irritably threw the scroll aside, striding back and forth, Changbai stood aside with his neck bent, not daring to speak, but he was also full of uneasiness, just Bai Zhi sent someone to send a message, the eldest lady had already fainted, but Lang Jun refused to go to the Chunhua Garden.

"How so!" Du Huo said in a low voice, "The carpets in Hu Shang's hands are obviously good, and they have been bought by people before, how can they all be ......?"

He frowned, but after a moment, he knew that the Du family was deceived, but he was afraid that all this was a trap, just to lure the Du family to the trap, so he would give the best carpet first, but then he hid a bunch of rags and sent them over in the cage.

After all, he was careless, he didn't expect to be deceived by a Hu merchant who didn't even show his face, and now I'm afraid that if I make someone go to Shanyang, I will also be empty, and the caravan is afraid that the building will be empty long ago.

But didn't this Hu Shang know the Xiao family for a long time, and he still had business dealings, how could it be......

His steps were sudden, could it be...... Shaw?

Looking at the lush plane trees outside the window, there is the direction of the main house, could it be that it was the bureau of Xiao Shibu from the beginning? But what is she for? The Du family is her mother-in-law's family, what good can she do if the Du family loses?

He was full of suspicion and asked Changbai: "In the past two days, Lang Zhong of Qianjintang has come into the house to see the lady?" ”

Changbai was stunned for a moment and said, "I came every day, but it was still that Chen Langzhong, who left a few recipes, saying that it would take some time to eat, and then change it if it didn't get better." ”

Several Lang Zhong in Qianjintang are familiar with the Du family, and Chen Langzhong often visited the Du family in the past, Du Huo couldn't think of anything suspicious, so he could only ignore it for the time being, and said: "Let someone hand over the news to the Jiang family, Ah Niang is sick, and I should let Sister Ah come back to take a look." ”

These things can't be related to him, so he can only let Duran come back to take care of Pei and find a way to clean up the mess.

In Jiang's mansion, Duran, who got the news, sat on the table for a long time and didn't come back to his senses, and it took a while to squeeze out a sentence: "Was, deceived?" Are the carpet and wool fake? ”

It was a mother-in-law who sent the message, and she didn't dare to raise her head when she asked, and said in a low voice: "Yes, I said that I was deceived by that Hu merchant, and the cage was full of some tattered materials, and I couldn't sell it for money......"

"What about the money? What about the money to buy the material? Duran's ears buzzed, and he hurriedly asked, "Can someone chase it back?" ”

The mother-in-law whispered: "San Langjun ordered someone to go to Shanyang, and asked someone to go to the government to report to the official." ”

reported to the official, that is to say, you have really been deceived! Du Lan's body shook, wanting to cry without tears, she didn't feel sorry for the two hundred dollars, but she didn't know how to explain to Mrs. Jiang, but she patted her chest as a guarantee, and let Mrs. Jiang Yu take it out, originally wanted Yu to feel that the Du family was still useful, and her mother's family could still afford to save face, but now it is ......

The mother-in-law saw that she didn't speak for a long time, and she didn't dare not continue: "The eldest lady got the news and fainted, and I am afraid that she has not woken up at this time, so San Langjun invited the eldest lady to go back to the house." ”

Duran's face was as white as earth, and he had a bitter face: "I go back, what use can I go back, but now I am also miserable!" Teach me how to explain to the Ah family! ”

This is really a slap in the face, and Yu is afraid that he will look down on her even more! Will she be able to survive until Jiang Dalang comes back?

When the woman left the door of Jiang's mansion, Du Lan sat on the table for a long time before gritting his teeth and telling the maidservant: "Follow me to see Madame." ”

She wanted to break her head and had no way, who called Pei's and her praised Haikou to Yu's, saying that this was a sure-fire deal, and even more so that after getting the money, teach Yu's to look at the Du family differently, and no longer use her mother's affairs to pressure her.

Now where do you want her to get so much money to compensate the Jiang family!

"Scammed?" Yu put down the tea bowl in his hand, and looked at the restless daughter-in-law in front of him with a smile, "This is really strange, didn't you say yesterday that you could send the money over in two days, or did you give the Jiang family a copy for the sake of your in-laws, such a big face, but now you say that you have been deceived?" ”

Duran was so blocked that he could barely speak, and it took a long time to cry with a sad face: "Ah Jia, it's really, it's really a hateful liar, I thought this was a sure deal, but I didn't expect to be cheated so badly that I got more than 10,000 dollars, and my aunt was also so angry that she fell ill, and now I'm afraid she hasn't woken up yet." ”

Yu Shi sneered, but ignored her, just turned his head and said to the housekeeper's mother on the side: "Look, I just said no, but Da Lang still believed her words, and told me from time to time, if you want me to believe her, let her help me more, if you really want her to help, I am afraid that our house will also be defeated." ”

She said, sighed and shook her head: "The family is unfortunate, and it is said that the wife and the husband are less in trouble, after all, our eldest man is not blessed." ”

Duran's face swelled as if it was congested with blood, and he knelt down and cried: "Ah Jia, I didn't mean to ......"

Yu Shi was impatient to see her, and waved his hand: "You go down, a hundred yuan is nothing, but you don't have to ask about the affairs of this mansion in the future." ”

Du Lan's heart was like a knife, and his face was like fire, but he couldn't help but whisper: "But my aunt is still sick......

Yu Shi glanced at her again, and said coldly after a while: "You go, go back and take care of your aunt, if there is anything to wait for Da Lang to come back, I will let him tell you." ”

Du Lan was dizzy, and he didn't understand the meaning of these words, so he thanked Yu in a low voice, wiped his tears and got up and went back to his yard, and hurried to pack up his things and go back to Du Mansion.

Du Lan returned to his parents' house, and the people who went to Shanyang from the Du family also came back, but they found nothing as expected, saying that the Hu merchant had long since disappeared, and even the caravan was gone.

While peeling lotus seeds for Xiao Rongyue, Zhu Ling whispered the news from all over the house: "...... The eldest lady was seriously ill, and after waking up, she took a decoction and did not see peace, and screamed for half the night, all nonsense, saying that she wanted someone to carry the money back, and that the Hu merchant must still be in Shanyang, and asked someone to take them. ”

Xiao Rongyue picked up a snow-white lotus seed and put it in her mouth, and when she took a bite, she couldn't help but squint, the fragrance of the lotus seed had a hint of bitterness, but it was soon sweet: "What did Du Sanlang say?" ”

Zhu Ling shook her head: "I just ordered someone to go to the government to report to the official, but I still went to the academy today, and I didn't have anything to say." ”

Du Huo is not a gentleman who does not eat the fireworks of the world, he is only afraid that he will be angry, but he has not yet noticed the clues.

She smiled: "Acrylic, have they all settled down?" ”

"As soon as Mother Lin left the day before yesterday, they rushed to Chang'an with those silver coins, and they could reach it by water in only ten days, waiting for the lady's orders over there."

Xiao Rongyue fiddled with a peeled lotus seed, watched the snow-white round little thing slipping around in the saucer, and smiled more and more satisfied: "I want them to go to the southwest corner of Yongyangfang, where there is a small courtyard that is about to be resold, spend some money to settle down, and find a rich and spacious Zhuangzi outside the city for them to settle down, waiting for me to come." ”

Zhu Ling was confused, and she didn't know why the lady knew that there was a small yard to sell in Yongyang Fang, and why she wanted to put it down, she could only agree, but said: "Mother Zhan's side ......"

Seeing the lotus seeds rolling into a ball, Xiao Rongyue reached out and held them, chuckling: "Soon, this is the first one, and the second one is coming." ”
