Chapter 259: Diverting Attention
Li Yuanzhong was stunned by Yang Fu, and Yang Fu took advantage of the situation to explain to Emperor Yonghui bitterly: "Your Majesty, it's just that Weichen was so suspected and falsely accused.
Finish. This damn dog slave doesn't even know who he did, this is ill-intentioned and depressed! ”
Yang Fu's sentence was instructed by others, and it was really just right. It was completely enough to divert the attention of Emperor Yonghui.
At present, all the evidence only points to Li Yuanzhong and the Yuguo Mansion. But Li Yuanzhong not only pulled out the Yuguo Mansion, but also dragged out Li Guifei and Murong Shi. Coincidentally, at the moment, the queen and Concubine Li are fighting each other. This will inevitably make the suspicious Emperor Yonghui think about it according to Yang Fu's guidance.
Emperor Yonghui turned around, thought carefully for a while, turned his back to Yang Fu, and asked slowly, "What about Chang Gon?" Who is the one who wants to harm Changgon? ”
Yang Fu was slightly stunned, and then followed these words: "Weichen doesn't know, and Weichen only learned today that the person who opened the gold mine privately turned out to be Weichen's domestic slave." ”
Emperor Yonghui didn't make a sound, Yang Fu knelt in place, his heart was extremely worried, and he didn't dare to say anything. In the end, Emperor Yonghui did not turn back, but said lightly: "You go back, I will investigate this matter thoroughly." ”
Yang Fu couldn't see Emperor Yonghui's expression, and he was even more unsure in his heart. But Emperor Yonghui had already let him leave, where did he dare to stay any longer. Immediately stood up neatly, saluted Emperor Yonghui, and said, "Yes, Weichen retires!" ”
Yang Fu returned to the Yuguo Mansion all the way in a nervous mood, and didn't say anything else when he entered the door, and directly asked Yufeng to go to Mrs. Li's house, took all the account books and cards, and asked Yang Xuan and his wife, who had three rooms, to go to Mrs. Cui's house.
When Mrs. Li heard that Yang Fu was going to take away the account book, where else could she live. was not invited, she went to Mrs. Cui's yard first.
Yang Fu had already issued an order for Mrs. Li to close the door to introspection, and now Mrs. Li suddenly appeared in Mrs. Cui's courtyard, and Yang Fu was even more angry when she saw her.
immediately angrily reprimanded Li Kangping's family: "How did you guard your wife!" Why let her come? ”
Li Kangping's family had a bitter face, and whispered to Yang Fu to ask: "Grandpa Guo, Mrs. has been in charge of the family for so many years, and it has only been in the past year that such things have happened. It had always been too sweet and mediocre before. Give Madame another chance! ”
Seeing this, Old Madam Cui asked Yang Fu for some reason, "What's the matter?" You husband and wife have always been good. What mistake did the second daughter-in-law make, you want to take the position of her housekeeper? Although the second daughter-in-law made a mistake before, she can't be blamed for the grain and oil shop! ”
Yang Fu sighed heavily, and in front of Sanfang and Mrs. Cui, he told Mrs. Li about sending Li Yuanzhong to open a gold mine privately. He also told Mrs. Li about carrying her behind her back and privately sending someone to assassinate Chang Gon.
Mrs. Chu was terrified when she heard this, and she was very dissatisfied in her heart, "Second brother, the second sister-in-law's basket, how do you fill the concubine's body?" Now that the public middle school is in a mess by the second sister-in-law, how can the concubine take over this hand. Besides, it was not that the concubine had not received the housekeeper's cards before, but in two days, she still had to return it to the second sister-in-law. If the second brother is just talking, there is no need to go through the motions of the concubine. ”
When Mrs. Li heard Mrs. Chu's words, her face sank, and she reprimanded her unhappily: "What are you talking about, brother and sister?" When did you go through the motions? ”
Mrs. Chu swallows her anger on weekdays, but she is not a soft persimmon that is easy to pinch. She didn't say anything in the past, she was just waiting for another day, when Mrs. Li had no position or reason to parry.
"When didn't I go through the motions? Moreover, the mother is the most partial to the second room. Today, a concubine is not afraid to say things on the surface. The second sister-in-law cried in front of her mother and said two words. What we did in the third room was all in vain. ”
Yang Xuan's face was not very good-looking, and he gently pulled Mrs. Lachu's sleeve.
Mrs. Chu pulled her arm sharply and glared at Yang Xuan, even more like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, and said in a crackling voice, "Before, the second sister-in-law wanted to occupy the seventh girl's shop." occupies the shop, and she can't manage it herself, and the people under her hands are too incompetent. As a result, how many tens of thousands of taels of silver were lost in the palace? What did the mother say? What did the second brother say? Don't let the second sister-in-law still manage this account book! Even if we eat bran in the three rooms, we can't even complain. Now, what Li Yuanzhong has done, and how much silver is there in the public office? How to chew this year, seeing that the filial piety period is out, where does the bride price and dowry for the children come from? Now the second brother said that he would hand over this mess of money to me, I am not a God of Wealth! ”
Chu's words are not wrong at all, even if Old Madam Cui was unreasonable in the past, she can't say a word now.
Yang Xuan whispered: "Don't say it, the account book has given you ......"
"What don't you say? It's big or small. What is the crime of opening a gold mine privately? That's a big crime of raiding the family and exterminating the family! If one doesn't get it right, the second sister-in-law is confused, and our whole family has to be beheaded with her! I can't even say a word now? If this continues in the future, it is better for us to split up. Let's go out of the Yuguo Mansion directly in the third room, and we also save ourselves from being scared all day long, eating chaff and vegetables to live. Chu's sentences are sonorous and reasonable, and they are really loud.
When Mrs. Cui heard this, she felt a little unhappy, and immediately scolded the Chu family unhappily: "Split up? What a home! I'm not dead yet! Now that something like this has happened, our whole family should work together to overcome this difficulty. Besides, don't the seven girls like the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother can listen to her words the most. Let her enter the palace and talk to the Queen Mother, please ask the Queen Mother to help us plead in front of the emperor! This matter will be over if Li Yuanzhong bears everything. That Li Yuanzhong is the Li family's wife, and he is not from our family! Nothing can happen! This account book will be given to the daughter-in-law of the third room in the future, and the daughter-in-law of the third room will also take care of the house in the future. ”
"Mother's ......"
"Shut up!"
Before Mrs. Li finished speaking, Mrs. Cui opened her mouth first, looked at Mrs. Li angrily, pointed at her, and said, "You are also really capable!" You didn't even say anything about such a big thing, and you took away the money from the public without permission! Now it has caused such a catastrophe! I knew that you were such a loser in the first place, and I would never have agreed to let you in! Tell me how much money you have folded into your house! ”
Mrs. Li defended aggrievedly: "Mother, the concubine also wants to earn back the silver she lost before, as long as the gold mine is opened." Our family is equivalent to having a mountain of gold, which is inexhaustible to chew! ”
Mrs. Cui was slightly moved by what Mrs. Li said.
Chu Shi was used to seeing Old Madam Cui's face like this, she pursed her lips and smiled coldly: "Mother, if the second sister-in-law says a few words, your heart will soften again." It's better to return this account book to the second sister-in-law. The position of this housekeeper, how about letting the second sister-in-law sit? ”
Old Madam Cui's face stiffened, and she said embarrassedly: "What is soft-hearted, can I say anything!" ”
"Mother, second brother, it's not impossible for me to take care of this account now. But we have to talk about the ugly things to the front. If I hadn't made a big mistake, my mother and second brother would have asked me to call out the right to be a housekeeper, and we would have split up immediately! ”
Old Madam Cui's face was ugly, obviously very dissatisfied, and she wanted to scold the Chu family for something.
But Yu Guogong nodded resolutely and said: "This is natural, in the future, everything in the family will rely on and rely on my younger brothers and sisters." Your second sister-in-law owes the silver in the palace, so she will use the private property of the second room to make up for it little by little. In the future, the dowry of the second and fourth girls will also be supplemented from the dowry of your second sister-in-law. ”
Mrs. Chu nodded reluctantly, and said to Li Kangping's family: "You hand over all the account books and cards, send them to the third room, and hand them over to my eldest girl." Also, I have to recount all the items in the public and the money in the house. ”
When Mrs. Li heard this, she knelt on the ground in a dejected manner, and it was obvious that the days when she was the master of the house were obviously gone. Mrs. Li's heart ached angrily, and she fainted straight.
Let's talk about the private opening of the gold mine, which made the Yuguo Mansion restless, and Murong Shi was also very uneasy, for fear that Yang Fu would not be careful, and this fire would burn on his body.
He only stared at the movements of Yu Guogong and the Heavenly Prison, but he didn't notice it at all, and there was a huge blow behind him.
In the middle of the night, Chang'an East Palace.
The prince sat in the main hall, holding a bracelet of red sandalwood in his hand, and listened to the news handed back from Luoyang.
"According to what you say, the gold mine in Qinling was indeed privately opened by the Yuguo Mansion?"
"Your Highness can rest assured, it was opened privately by the Yuguo Mansion, and besides, listening to the words coming out of the palace, Li Guifei and His Royal Highness the Seventh are also involved."
The prince raised his eyebrows, and the tips of the phoenix eyes were very cold and playful, "Murong Shi?" ”
"Yes, that's what the servants of the Yuguo Mansion said!"
"What did the Emperor say?"
"The emperor is suspicious, it is someone here who has framed His Royal Highness the Seventh, and he is preparing to start a thorough investigation. It's just that...... After this thorough investigation, I don't know what else the emperor can find out, after all, the matter of Qinling ...... There are also the seven girls of the Yuguo Mansion. ”
The prince laughed coldly and sighed meaningfully, "Yes, it's the Yuguo Mansion, but it's Murong Shi." ”
Tianshu, who was standing on the side, whispered to the prince: "Your Highness, the person who hid in Yang Qigirl's carriage at the beginning can't be the Seventh Prince, right?" Although the Seventh Prince is the adopted son of Mrs. Li, nominally, he is also a cousin with Miss Yang Qi. Moreover, now that the Seven Princes have not discussed their marriage, all the people in Luoyang have tacitly agreed that the Seven Princes want to marry the three girls of the Yang family. ”
The prince's eyes were extremely gloomy, and he said, "Murong Shi? How dare he do that? ”
Tianshu said: "Your Highness, do we want to ......?"
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, the prince raised his hand and said slowly: "Don't worry, this matter of Qinling, instead of waiting for my father to find out, let's take the initiative!" ”
