"Mrs. Lu, she is ungrateful, she enjoys the glory and wealth, she doesn't want to deal with our poor relatives, as soon as she heard that we are here to borrow money, she immediately changed her face and wanted to bombard us away!" Zhang Xiuqin cried as she spoke, and her voice was so high that everyone in the house could hear it.

"Su Xiaoman's mother didn't grow early, I pulled her up little by little! Although I am not her mother, after so many years, I have long regarded Xiaoman as my biological daughter! Now that she is doing this to me, my heart is cold! ”

Saying that, this Zhang Xiuqin pulled Su Xiaoling again, and the two of them lay at Xia Wanrou's feet together, crying in a low voice, as if crying and mourning.

Xia Wanrou had never seen such a battle, and she was stunned for a long time, Su Xiaoman got up angrily, and was just about to speak when she was stopped by Pearl, she sat down again indignantly, turned her face away, and never wanted to see the mother and daughter again.

"Madam, you must be the master of our mother and son! We came all the way from Taoyuan County here, and we wanted to ask Mrs. Lu to help us, but we didn't think she was ......" As she spoke, Zhang Xiuqin cried again.

This uninformed person thought that Su Xiaoman had treated them harshly.

The door of the main hall was wide open, attracting a group of maids and maids in the house, everyone didn't dare to come to see the excitement in the open, and they all secretly hid again, but unfortunately the constantly moving shadows on the ground still exposed them, Xiaoman looked more and more angry, and unconsciously his eyes were red.

Pearl was very unbearable when she saw this, she had never seen such a lady, although she didn't know what was going on in the house, but with Zhang Xiuqin's posture of changing her face before and after, she could guess a few points.

Therefore, Pearl didn't mean to ask Xiaoman, so she walked to Xia Wanrou's side, leaned over and whispered: "Mrs. Wei, you have to be careful of this mother and daughter, don't be deceived by their words." ”

Xia Wanrou didn't know what kind of person Xiaoman was, if it weren't for the mother and son who were too much, Xiaoman would probably be so angry.

She nodded, "I see." ”

Immediately, Xia Wanrou leaned over slightly to help Zhang Xiuqin, and said very politely: "This lady, it's not easy for you to come all the way to Beijing, so let's do it, since there is no room in the Lu Mansion, then you can live in my mansion." ”

As she spoke, Xia Wanrou turned sideways and instructed Hongyu behind her, "Clean up the two rooms, let these two guests from afar live in first, and then send a few clever girls to serve." ”

"Sister Wanrou!" Xiao Man couldn't get up and stepped forward, "I know you have a kind heart, but this kindness is not used for them." They came to me to borrow money, how can I let them live in your house! ”

She was angry and hateful, and she still had some grievances in her heart. Don't give Zhang Xiuqin money, she is always afraid that her father's illness will not be treated well, for fear that she will fall into the root of the disease, but if she gives them money, she really can't get over this threshold in her heart.

A full two hundred taels of silver, how embarrassed Zhang Xiuqin and the others opened their mouths!

"The person who came is a guest, Xiaoman, we have such a good relationship, let them live with me, besides, our two mansions are next to each other, it doesn't matter." Xia Wanrou patted Xiao Man's hand and persuaded softly.

"But, Sister Wanrou, I-"

Xia Wanrou interrupted with a smile, "Xiaoman, don't be so polite to me. ”

Saying that, Xia Wanrou ordered Hongyu again, "Quick, take the two guests to the Wei Mansion to rest, you must serve them well, if you are sluggish, I will ask you." ”

"Yes." Hongyu bowed, and then led the way in front and took Zhang Xiuqin's mother and daughter away.

Seeing that it was not lively, the subordinates outside the door dispersed in a hurry, and the surroundings finally quieted down.

Su Xiaoman sat down awkwardly and complained angrily: "Sister Wanrou, why do you want to keep them!" They're blood-sucking worms, and they've got to squeeze me dry! ”

wanted to borrow money, but Zhang Xiuqin refused to explain what she was going to do with the money, and she refused to elaborate on how the money was spent before, and her attitude was extremely bad, how could Su Xiaoman be willing to lend them money with confidence.

And she has only been open for a long time, and all the income plus the money issued by the palace, she has only saved two hundred taels of silver, if she gives it to Zhang Xiuqin's mother and daughter now, then she will not even have any emergency money in the future.

Thinking of this, Xiaoman was even more annoyed, plus she was pregnant, her emotions were already very susceptible to external influences, her good mood all day was gone, and the whole person was very depressed and aggrieved.

"Xiaoman, do you really want to drive them away?" Xia Wanrou sat down and persuaded in a serious tone: "No matter what they are here for, the two of them are women's families, and they have come all the way to Shangjing to join you, and it is not easy to come all the way, besides, it is getting late now, and the two of them are not familiar with the place of life in Shangjing, if you really drive them out, if something happens to them, you must not regret it?" ”

Xiaoman has always been kind-hearted, and he is not stingy with money, and he can still give money to beggars on the street, not to mention the family members who have been with him for so many years?

And for such a long time, there have always been some people in Shangjing who like to make fun of Xiaoman's background and ridicule her for being a girl from the mountains, but Xiaoman has never refuted it seriously, because she has never felt that she is from a bad background, let alone that Bishui Village is not good, Xia Wanrou sees all this in her eyes, of course she will not be deceived by Zhang Xiuqin's words.

Seeing that Xiaoman lowered his head and didn't speak, Xia Wanrou persuaded softly: "I know that you are not the kind of person they say, so I arranged for them to live in my house, first, I can also help you persuade them, and second, they are not easy to make trouble in my house, it is inevitable that they will not be comfortable living for a long time, and when the time comes, they will definitely shout that they are leaving, and you will not have a bad reputation." ”

Hearing this, the tip of Su Xiaoman's nose was sour, and tears fell down, "Sister Wanrou, I ......"

"Okay, I know you're wronged, Xiaoman, no matter what they want to do, we have to observe for a while before you say, what do you say?" Xia Wanrou took the handkerchief and wiped Xiaoman's tears, touched her head gently, and asked the other party softly.

Su Xiaoman bit her lip, her eyes were red, she raised her head and nodded very solemnly, "I know, Sister Wanrou, thank you for helping me just now." ”

Su Xiaoman, who calmed down, wiped away her tears, and thought to herself: She said that she wanted to drive them away, but in fact, how could she really bear it, if Xia Wanrou didn't happen to come, she might really not know how to end.

"Okay, the first day of the store opened today, business is booming, we should celebrate, let's go, go to my house for dinner, right?" Xia Wanrou smiled, "By the way, I'll help you explore the reality of that mother and daughter." ”

Su Xiaoman blinked in surprise, and didn't react for a while.

Seeing this, the dimples on Xia Wanrou's cheeks became more obvious, "The sooner we figure out their purpose, we might as well come up with a way to deal with it as soon as possible, after all, I'm on your side, and I can't see you suffer." ”

"Sister Wanrou......" Xiaoman was moved for a while, and didn't know what to say.

"Okay, you're about to be a mother, don't cry like this, the child will laugh at you when he sees it." Xia Wanrou helped Xiao Man get up and went to the bedroom, teasing while picking out clothes for the other party.

Su Xiaoman rubbed his nose and said in a muffled voice: "I see who dares to laugh at me." ”

"Okay, good, no one dares to laugh at you."

After some pacification, Xiao Man finally recovered his previous temperament, Xia Wanrou specially dressed people up smartly, but deliberately abandoned those gorgeous pearls, and only picked up those inconspicuous and worthless jewelry to put on Su Xiaoman, in fact, it was also to show Zhang Xiuqin's mother and daughter, so that they knew that Xiao Man really didn't have much money.

At the same time, in the east wing of the Wei Mansion across the wall from the Lu Mansion, Su Xiaoling was also busy cleaning up, she shook out a few golden hairpins from her baggage, picked out a water-red dress, and shouted for Zhang Xiuqin to pull her hair again and put on new clothes.

She looked at the bronze mirror for a long time, and after making sure that everything was fine, she sat down with satisfaction and took a slow sip of tea.

Compared with Su Xiaoling's leisure, Zhang Xiuqin was very nervous, she closed the doors and windows, and walked around the house several times uneasily, and finally sat down, looked at her daughter, who was dressed up in flowers, frowned uneasily, and asked in a low voice: "Xiaoling, do you think we can really lend two hundred taels from Xiaoman's hand?" Why do I think this thing is so hanging! ”

Su Xiaoling put down the teacup and rolled her eyes, "Mother, you don't really think that Su Xiaoman has no money, right?" Look at what she has in the room, what hangs on the wall, and even what she sits on the bottom, which one is not valuable? It's only two hundred taels, and she will definitely be able to take it. ”

"Then we treated her like that before, she can still ......" Zhang Xiuqin was a little embarrassed.

Don't look at her yelling and screaming before, in fact, this is very bottomless, if it weren't for the family still being in a hurry to use this money, she and Su Xiaoling would not have traveled thousands of miles to Su Xiaoman.

Since Su Xiaoling got married, this growth is not a star, plus Zhang Xiuqin and Su Qi are getting older, without Su Xiaoman at home, this Su family has become her Su Xiaoling alone, no matter how she behaves nonsense and turns over the rivers and seas, no one dares to care about her.

Therefore, Zhang Xiuqin is also obedient to Su Xiaoling, and it is also Su Xiaoling's idea to defect to Su Xiaoman this time.

"Mother, she was raised by you after all, didn't she? What's more, she has now become the general's wife, she must have to be embarrassed, if she really doesn't give us money, then let's just sue the court, so that the entire Donglan Kingdom knows that Su Xiaoman is an ungrateful wolf cub. Su Xiaoling smiled proudly.

Hearing this, Zhang Xiuqin breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, as long as we get these two hundred taels of silver, my uncle will have money to do business, and then our life will be easier." ”
