Ruqing knew that when dealing with people like the Li family who love to take advantage and always like to take advantage of their elders, ordinary cold words and big truths will not help. The only way is to use public opinion to force her to regain the face she lost at home.

However, the process is slow and arduous.

This thing can't be done with great fanfare, so it can only be done secretly, and the process of boiling frogs in water is slowly boiled.

In the past half a month, Ruqing's housekeeper has accumulated nearly five hundred taels of silver in foreign debts.

The mother-in-law who bought the house reported to Ruqing this morning, "I have told the shopkeepers the truth about the situation in our house according to the girl's instructions." These shopkeepers are also sensible, and they have all been given to me. The buyer looked left and right, saw that there was no one, took two steps forward, lowered his voice, covered his lips and whispered: "Everyone outside already knows what our wife is." They are all on our grandmother's side. ”

Ruqing nodded, and said with a pleasant face: "There is Lao's mother." If this matter is done well, I will ask my sister-in-law for this credit. ”

The buyer smiled without eyebrows, "The girl came up with the solution, and the old woman just acted on orders." It is also a blessing for an old woman to be able to do things for a smart and clear girl. ”

Two days later, Mama Lin came back and reported: "According to the girl's instructions, I inquired about the house in many places, and chatted with everyone when I was free." I also heard about a lot of good houses. ”

Ruqing nodded, "There is Mama Lao." Then he made a look and agarwood. Agarwood immediately took a cup of tea and handed it to Mama Lin, and said, "Mama, the weather is hot, let's take a sip of tea to moisten your throat first." ”

Yuqin also beckoned next to her with a pu fan. Linglong was not idle, and took fruit snacks to entertain her, Mama Lin was not polite, served tea, but was not in a hurry to drink, just looked at Ruqing, and a touch of deep thought flashed in her eyes, "Our grandmother often said that the fourth girl is sensible and knowledgeable. Now it seems that the girl is not only sensible, but also has a hand in the housekeeper. Looking at the neat movements of several people in Agarwood and the unsupportive movements of the flowing clouds, Mama Lin sincerely admired.

Ruqing smiled slightly, "Mama praised it." Ruqing is just crossing the river by feeling the stones, and she can't even manage a small Fang Mansion, and she is still having a headache. After a pause, he asked again, "Does Grandma have good news?" ”

Mama Lin laughed, "Good news is not there yet. But I've already put out all the secrets that the old lady and the girl are going to move out in. Now the whole capital has been hyped up by me. Especially the Rongguo Mansion and the Li Mansion. ”

Ruqing laughed, indicating that she understood. Let Mama Lin continue to work hard. and asked Mama Lin to publicize the foreign debts owed by the Fang Mansion.

Mama Lin's eyebrows flashed, and she laughed again: "Don't worry, girl, this matter is on the old woman." ”

Not long after Mama Lin left, Ruqing looked at the account book again, and felt sleepy, only to find that the hourglass on the table was almost dripping, and looking at the sky, it was time to go to bed.

Just as he instructed Agarwood to pack up his belongings and prepare for bed, the two of them came.

As usual, Rumei entered the house every time she entered the sunny room, looking at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who came in and out, her tone was sour, "The fourth sister is really capable, she actually made the eldest sister-in-law trust her so much, and even handed over the key in the treasury to you." ”

Sven Xiuya, who is kind and good, said kindly: "These four sisters have become a family, but don't just take care of yourself, the old lady and the wife are elders, but you have to pay attention to them first." Again, my sister-in-law is pregnant, but don't slack off. As for me, the fourth sister can rest assured, I won't make trouble with you. ”

Rumei squinted at Rushan and snorted coldly: "Won't it cause chaos?" Who's the loudest in the house? "Ru Mei refers to the fact that Rushan throws things in the house whenever the food is not palatable or because people are refused to go to the account office to pay money.

Ruqing was afraid that they would quarrel again, so she hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the two sisters, the younger sister will not be partial." It's getting late, I still have to go to my wife to say goodbye, do you want to go with my two sisters? ”

The three sisters came to Lee's house together and greeted Lee's together. This Li Yin and Yang said to Ruqing in a strange way: "I have lived here in Zhili for a long time, and the Qing girl has become more and more like a master." ”

Li Shi said the truth, this is like a sunny age, although the body has not yet grown, but also gradually show extraordinary color, especially when speaking and acting, he is elegant and dignified, but not old-fashioned, soft-spoken, subdued, full of smiles, gentle and aura.

I have to say that Rumei is not bad, but compared with Ruqing, it is much inferior, and the two sisters stand together, Ruqingguang stands there quietly, like a beautiful painting of water and mountains, people can't take their eyes off, but Rumei--- Li's heart is uncomfortable again.

Especially thinking about going out to socialize these days, she can feel that those good friends who used to be good friends with her in the boudoir have become alienated from her, and she can't find the reason. It made her stomach angry.

Ruqing said obediently: "This is thanks to the guidance of my mother and third sister. If it weren't for her mother and third sister, my daughter would probably still be in a hurry. ”

Li's face softened slightly, although he knew that she was talking about the scene, but it was quite comfortable to listen to.

Then he asked how the government was spending. Ruqing turned her mind in her heart, and said ambiguously: "Sister-in-law has handed over all her income to me. But it has never been able to smooth out the expenses. Now, there are some debts outside. ”

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Li's lips, "Really?" Is your sister-in-law really that poor? ”

Ruqing smiled impatiently, "Previously, my daughter also thought that my sister-in-law must have hidden some private rooms. But now there is debt everywhere outside. My sister-in-law is a face-saving person, and if she hadn't really reached the end of the mountain, she wouldn't have made this decision. ”

Li Shi became interested: "Oh, how much is the difference between the external accounts and the outside now?" ”

"It's probably a few hundred taels of silver."

"Really?" Li stopped talking, pillowed his head on his hands, and Ruqing secretly looked at her, unable to guess what she was thinking. I lived in my stepson's house with a cheeky face, and I had to spend everything with peace of mind, but now I know that the He family is "exhausted", and he is still so leisurely.

Ruqing takes a deep breath, and the drum does not need to be repeated. However, when the drum did not sound, it had to be re-hammered.

On the second day, Ruqing found Mama Lin and the buyer, as well as the housekeeper, and ordered them to go down. "Mama Lin let out the news and said that my grandmother and I would move out one day. Remember, let as many people know as possible. Then he turned his head and said to the mother-in-law who bought it: "Find a way to let the He family know about this, the sooner the better." As for Steward He, Ruqing smiled shyly, "The people in the mansion are probably stuffy for a while, why don't Uncle He relax a little bit and let them vomit." Otherwise, it's a long day, don't hold back your illness. ”
