When the Yang family returned home, he didn't have a good face at all, which made Xiao Qi a little curious.

"Mother, what's wrong? Then the Mu family gave you a look on your face? ”

"They've got to have that pound too." Yang said with a cold face, "It's not the two stupid talents of the Bai family, the Lu family also wants to intervene and come in, and the Lu Wangfu is just that, what is his Dingguo Mansion?" Bai Jingyue is a widower with two sons, and he doesn't even have a female dependent, so he is embarrassed to pull an old face to give his son Zhang Luo's marriage? I don't think he's busy enough! ”

The Xiao family and the Bai family have not been in harmony for many years, and this Xiao Qi knows it.

"Mother, don't be angry, his Bai family's likes are for him, or I don't like Mu Yanxia either."

"What nonsense!" Yang slapped his thigh, "You can't get a career, can you marry a useful person back?" Otherwise, on your own, your career is really hopeless! ”

"There are no Mu Yanxia and others, mother doesn't need to worry, besides, you have been there twice, and the Mu family has not made a sound, so you almost don't want to marry me, what's the use of you in a hurry?"

"If Mu Yanxia insists on not marrying you, it's fine, but if she marries the Bai family, what future do you have in the future? Bai Chuheng is the prince's companion, and the prince is like two brothers, our Xiao family is not as good as the Bai family, what if there is no capable family to marry? ”

"Mother just said that Bai Chuheng's father is a widower, and he doesn't understand the matter of his wife's family, and the Mu family may marry the Bai family."

"Although your father doesn't have such a big hatred for Bai Jingyue, counting back from your grandfather's generation, the struggle between the Bai Xiao family has never stopped! In the future, your future will definitely be compared with the two brothers of the Bai family, you must not fall behind! ”

The Yang family is used to being competitive, and he wants to be top-notch in everything, otherwise he would not insist on marrying Mu Yanxia.

She felt that Mu Yanxia was the most suitable person for her son.

Xiao Naixiong was not hostile to the Bai family, so she hated the Bai family for her own officials, although Xiao Qi didn't like Mu Yanxia and had no intention of marrying the Mu family, but his mother was forcing him, and he couldn't do anything.

"That's right, Mother." Xiao Qi squatted down and thumped his leg for the Yang family, "My son looks at a girl in the Su family who is smart and clever, I think it is to your liking, you see..."

"You want to marry her back? Or bring it back? Yang asked sharply.

"Naturally, it is carried back, our family marries the daughter of a fifth-grade official to be the eldest lady, isn't this a slap in the face of my mother?" Xiao Qi smiled cheaply, and said with some flattery, "If you really marry the Mu family's mother-in-law as the housewife, and the son wants to bring the Su family back and be an aunt and a lady, what do you think?" ”

"I naturally agree, but that Su Yao prides himself on being clear, I'm afraid he won't be willing to marry his daughter to someone else as a concubine."

"Our family is the palace of Changjun County, why can't we do it?"

"Then doesn't this matter also depend on what he means, not to mention that your sister-in-law is also from the Su family, she is the main mother and sister and concubine, and this is going to be laughed at! Our family doesn't care about it, but the Su family must study it, and I will definitely not be willing to look at Su Yao. ”

Xiao Qi was a little unwilling.

The Yang family saw his unwillingness, and then smiled, "You tell me who that girl is, if the Mu family's mother-in-law really has a play, I can help you think of ideas to bring the Su family in." ”

Xiao Qi turned into a smile again, "Don't worry, mother, she hasn't finished yet." ”

"Didn't make it?" Yang frowned, "There are only a few people in the Su family who can't reach the Su family now, which one do you look at?" ”

"It's Su Yunyao, ranked eleven, born to the mother of the Su family, and we will be in time next year, we have a chance."

"It's a concubine..."Yang sighed, "Come on, I want to think about it." ”

She was sure that with Su Yao's character, she would not agree to marry her mother to someone else's family as a concubine.

What's more, Su Yunyao's mother is the concubine of the Marquis of Lingzhou, don't look at the softness on the surface, but if anyone provokes her, she is not afraid of anything, if she really wants to marry her daughter as a concubine, she will be the first to oppose if Su Yao disagrees.

However, Yang's heart for his son can be seen from the sun and the moon, Mu Yanxia's son didn't like it in the first place, and it was forced to him for his future, this girl from the Su family should make him feel relieved.

Su Yunyao didn't know anything about this, she was lying on the chaise longue at this moment, with a thin cashmere quilt on her legs, a book on her head, drowsy.

She knew that Shu Xuexue was going to come to teach, and she was busy with her dizzy because of the marriage of her fifth sister these days, and only then did she remember that those who should have been carried did not have a back, so she got on the sedan chair and pierced her ears and eyes, and started the battle of the head cantilever beam and stabbing the stock.

When sleepiness hit, she finally couldn't hold back and took a nap for a while.

When it got dark and the temperature dropped, Lisheng was worried that her girl would catch a cold, so she woke her up and waited for her to go to bed after washing.

"Girl, the mother-in-law of the eldest lady Zhuangzi has sent a letter, saying that Zhaolu Fang just went out when it was dark and fell into the river."

When Su Yunyao heard this, she instantly fell asleep, "What's the matter?" ”

"The slave doesn't know, this news has just come, and Zhao Lu has lost his breath at this time."

"Now that the river is not completely thawed, how can it be drowned?" Su Yunyao reacted after asking, "Did someone kill her?" ”

Lisheng nodded.

"Isn't anyone looking at her?" Su Yunyao asked again.

"Naturally, someone watched, but Zhao Lu went out with an excuse to make a stomach, and watched her mother-in-law go out to look for it when she saw that someone had not returned for a long time, and it took a long time to find that she was planted in the river, it seems that it was not an accident, she was drowned, but the river that drowned her was only calf high, and she could not be killed in any case."

"That's someone doing it." Su Yunyao got on the bed and covered the quilt, "Don't let others know about this, it must be the hands and feet of the second lady, and it was arranged by the eldest lady to work on the Zhuangzi, and when this matter spreads, others will definitely take the opportunity to pour dirty water on my mother." ”

There was Su Yunyao's use of wooden people to harm people, and then Zhao Lu was killed, and the connection between this inevitably made people think that she had done something wrong.

Cao Qianlian's move, firstly, to help herself get rid of future troubles forever, and Zhaolu could no longer bite her, and secondly, to lead the limelight to Qin Manhuai and Su Yunyao, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Su Yunyao's worries were really right, and the next day, a few people in the mansion spread the word that the eldest lady had killed Zhao Lu, in order to completely cover up the evidence of the crime for the eleventh girl.

Even Lisheng heard a few words on the way to get breakfast.

There was a maid who had a good relationship with her in Liuyun Zhai and met her on the road, and she also went to get breakfast for her girl, and said to her, "The third lady has a big temper, and this morning there was a little girl who said something about the eldest lady's murder, and the angry third lady slapped him several times, and he was almost sent to Su Ning Yuan for the eldest lady to deal with." ”

Even Liuyunzhai has a sound, let alone other places.

It seems that the second lady has placed people in every courtyard, spreading this matter, and she can't wait to stuff a few words in the crack of the closed door, so that everyone up and down the house will know.

After the Muren incident, Su Yao's attitude towards their mother and daughter was obviously much colder, especially after Su Qianyao got engaged, he almost didn't set foot in Yingxia Residence, sometimes Cao Qianlian went to Yu Hongyuan to find him and said that he was busy with business, or simply went to Su Ning Yuan or Liuyunzhai.

The fourth lady, Liu He, is not in good health, so Su Yao rarely goes to her for the night.

In this case, is it still her Cao Qianlian who doesn't make trouble? Zhao Lu's death was indeed her handiwork.

That little slut was still thinking about money, and Cao Qianlian arranged for someone to throw a note to her from outside while she was working in the afternoon, and asked her to go to the river outside the woods behind Zhuangzi after dark, saying that he would give her money.

When she went, she covered her mouth, drowned her in a basin of water, and then threw her body into the river that had not completely dissolved, and the water in the basin splashed into the river, and she took the basin and left.

At this moment, she was sitting in Yingxia Residence, listening to the magpie report to her with satisfaction.

"The person arranged by the lady is really powerful, there was a sound as soon as it was slightly brightened this day, and I am afraid that no one will know about Zhao Lu's death at this time."

Cao Qianlian smiled faintly, "Zhaolu, that idiot still thinks she can threaten me, and she doesn't look at who I am, if I can be controlled by her, I won't be so old ladies and eldest ladies can't do anything about me!" She deserved to die, and it happened that she could use this to pull the eldest lady into the water. ”

Chang Xizhai naturally heard about it, and Zhao Lu died when he died, but the next person said that it was related to the eldest lady, and it was a big deal.

Mama Zhou arranged for someone to beat up the three messengers, and asked them to bite one and explain who passed it on, but one of them said that it was another, the other said that it was inquired about by two small servants in other courtyards, and another said that it was said by the little servants in the lord's courtyard, who did not know who it was.

The old lady sat on the upper seat with a cold face angrily and kicked Qin Manhuai.

"She's just a, she's killed or sold, why is she still in the yard? That's a sin! It's good now, others use it to make you fishy! ”

"My daughter-in-law didn't expect it either." Qin Manhuai regretted, "Zhao Lu has been very honest in the past few days, I never expected that person to have such a hand." ”

"Don't be that person, I think it's the handiwork of the slut in Yingxiaju!" There were only two daughters-in-law in the house, and the old lady said earnestly, "You have your own set of housekeeping, but you can't help it if you are soft-hearted, it will not only hurt you, but also Qian'er Mo'er and Yun'er!" It's not a big deal, you have a memory, don't make the same mistake next time. ”

"My daughter-in-law understands."

"Okay, this matter is completely lively today, find my son and others to come and say hello to my old lady!" The old lady pretended to be lazy.

After a while, everyone arrived, and Liu He was still recuperating in Ning Xuan, except for her.
