By the time Pei Shi came to his senses completely, it was already two days later, looking at Du Lan, who was sitting on the side with red and swollen eyes, and Mother Lin, who was kneeling in front of him, Pei Shi gasped: "There is no news in the mansion?" ”

Du Lan's voice was hoarse: "It is said that there is no one on Shanyang's side for a long time, and there is no way in the government for a while, so I can only investigate it slowly." ”

Pei Shi wanted to cry without tears, and leaned on the soft pillow: "That's all the money of our Du family, and now there is no food in the house, this is my life!" ”

She suddenly thought of it, and sat up: "It's the Xiao family, the Xiao family!" Isn't Hu Shang an old patron of the Xiao family? It must be a method that the Xiao family came up with, just to cheat us out of our money! ”

Du Lan was also full of anger at this time: "I see that it is also her, such a scourge is not at ease when she enters the door, and now she has cheated the Du family of this lot of money with that liar, I said yesterday that I would send her to the government office, and she was sentenced to a good trial, and she will find out if she can't say it!" But Saburo didn't let it! ”

Pei's eyes were split: "What did he do to protect that slut!" If it weren't for her, how could I have lost so much money! Let people take her and send her to the government now! ”

Du Lan hurriedly persuaded: "Ah Niang, what San Lang said is also reasonable, now that the Xiao family is still sick, and we got the news to avoid her to do the previous matter, she can push it away, and she may not be able to convict her, rather than tearing her face with the Xiao family at this time, it is better to ......"

What Du Huo said was that after he went to Chang'an, Du Lan didn't think so in his heart, the Du family and her were so badly harmed by Xiao Rongyue, where could she endure it for so long, she gritted her teeth, retreated left and right, and said in a low voice: "It was planned at the beginning, the Xiao family entered the door, and this dowry should have returned to our house, but now I haven't seen a penny and a half, and I still get in so much!" ”

Pei Shi remembered the IOU in Xiao Rongyue's hand that day, and his anger burned to the top of his head: "What do you say!" ”

Du Lan's eyes turned sharp, and he sneered slightly: "She has already married into the Du family, she is a member of the Du family in life, and she is also a ghost of the Du family in death. ”

Pei Shi was startled and a little uneasy: "But she has only been in the door for a few days, if there is really something...... The Xiao family is afraid that they will not give up. ”

"A-Niang, you still can't see what the lady of the Xiao family means?" Du Lan didn't care at all, "She wants to marry her daughter Xiao Erniang to San Lang, if it weren't for the fact that her grandfather and the Xiao family decided to marry the Xiao family, this time it was Xiao Erniang who said that she couldn't marry." ”

"As long as you explain it to Mrs. Xiao, she must be willing." She lowered her voice.

Pei Shi thought about it, there was no other way at the moment, she couldn't watch the Du family go on like this, she turned her heart and whispered to her daughter: "But it can't be ...... suddenly It has to be delayed for a while, otherwise even others will be suspicious. ”

Duran nodded: "It can't be delayed for too long, wouldn't it be troublesome if she was pregnant." ”

Pei sneered: "San Lang doesn't look down on her, she hasn't even entered her door for a few days since she entered the door, and I'd rather go to a few rooms to rest." Besides, what kind of identity she is, even if she has, I can't look down on it, San Lang will enter the cabinet in the future, where can she leave the cheap seed of the merchant girl. ”

The mother and daughter agreed on an idea, but they still did not solve the problem in front of them, even if Xiao Rongyue died, it would take some time for the marriage to fall into the Du family, and now the Du family is already in danger, there is no silver in the public account, and the monthly money of the next person has not been paid, and the next food is difficult.

Pei Shi sighed and talked about what happened at the Jiang family's birthday banquet two days ago: "...... It was your third aunt who helped to inquire about the news, and said that it was a rich family, only such an only son, who married to be the head of the house, and gave a bride price of 50,000 yuan, and the best thing is not to pick the dowry, I just want to have such a good thing, but I can't do it. ”

Duran was also surprised: "Is it the owner of Zhouji Oil Mill?" That's really a lot of money, and it doesn't lose to the Xiao family. ”

She frowned: "It's just that why can't you do it, is it possible that Yuan Niang is unwilling?" ”

Pei Shi shook his head: "She doesn't know yet, but who in this mansion doesn't know about her and San Lang...... It's also that I'm not good, I thought it would be good for San Lang to marry her, after all, the Pei family still had some family background at that time, how could I think ......"

Duran snorted: "Then I can't help but think about it, this marriage event has always been the words of her parents, so she has to pick and choose by herself." ”

"Besides, she has been raised in our Du family for so many years, is it possible that even this aunt can't call the shots?" She pouted, "She and San Lang are delusional, who can blame for their own indiscretion, it is her blessing to find such a good family for her." ”

Pei Shi blinked: "Is it true that you want to marry her?" But she's already broken......"

Duran laughed: "This is closed to the husband and wife, and there is no one else in front of them, as long as there is a heart, who can see it." A-Niang can't hesitate any longer, the whole house is in turmoil now, if you really don't think of a way, I'm afraid you won't be able to get by. ”

Pei Shi thought about it again and again, but after all, he felt that there was no other way, so he could only agree to this marriage, and first accept the bride price and deal with it.

She stiffened herself up and instructed Bai Zhi: "Go and send a message to Mrs. Jiang San, please come to the mansion tomorrow to sit down, and Mrs. Xiao." ”

Seeing Bai Zhi go out, Pei Shi sighed faintly: "I am a soft-hearted person, and if I don't have to, I don't want to think about these things." ”

Du Lan took a sip of tea soup, and only felt that the resentment in his heart was a little more relaxed: "Auntie, this can't allow us to soften, this is also no way, we can't watch Du Jiafang lose like this." ”

It's a pity that they don't know that the person who delivered the letter left the house with the front foot, and Mrs. Feng on the second door gave the news to Zhuling with the back foot, and Xiao Rongyue also knew.

“…… It is not surprising that Mrs. Jiang San was invited, she was going to agree to the marriage of the Zhou family, but why did she invite her aunt too. Xiao Rongyue frowned, Mrs. Feng only knew where she was going to deliver the letter, and she didn't know what the Pei family was going to do.

Sanqi whispered: "Xu felt that Mrs. and Mrs. Jiang San were familiar with each other, so I invited me to accompany me." ”

Xiao Rongyue's eyes were cold, and she shook her head: "The eldest lady looks down on the Xiao family the most, the last time her aunt came to visit the patient, she refused to see each other, how could she invite her aunt to come for no reason, not to mention that Du Lan is not in the mansion, and the third lady Jiang is still her third aunt, so why do you need her aunt to accompany her." ”

She always felt that there was something strange in this, and told Zhuling to pay attention to Chunhua Garden.
