"No," Ran Jia shook his head in his arms, and said lazily: "The two little young masters and young ladies have gone, if I don't follow, if something happens to them, how can I explain to the master?" ”

"You are still pregnant with my child, if you have three long and two short, won't you kill me?" Ying Jian said unhappily, "You have to take care of the rest on the premise of ensuring your own body, you know?" ”

"Xianggong," she tugged at his sleeve, "I may not have seen the little master and young lady for a long time, you let me go, with Lanzhi and Shu Wen protecting me, I will be fine." ”

Ying Jian looked at her pitiful appearance, shook his head and sighed lightly: "It seems that if the affairs of the Hou Mansion are not resolved, you will not be able to raise the baby with peace of mind." ”

"Well, the master, the Hou Ye and his wife, are so aggrieved, is there any family like her who takes her own money and sticks to her husband's family." Hou Ye's heart was on national affairs, and many things were held in his heart, and he couldn't hold back the discomfort before he said a word or two to her and his grandmother. She felt very sorry for her master, but she didn't know how to help her once and for all.

"After all, she is Hou Ye's mother-in-law, if you want to completely break away from her control and not damage the reputation of Hou Ye and Mrs. Hou, you must give up the child." Ying Jian said with a slight squint.

She had heard of the fact that she was willing to let the child trap the wolf, "Then what do you have to give up?" ”

"The old lady likes nothing more than three things, one is fame, the second is wealth, and the third is land! The title of Hou Ye, the huge mansion of the Hou Mansion, and the property under the name of the Hou Mansion, naturally for her, the dowry of Mrs. Hou Ye should also belong to her. ”

"Ah, then didn't Hou Ye and Mrs. Hou restore their status as Bai Ding and be cleaned out of the house?" Ran Jia opened her mouth, although she was surprised, but with her understanding of the old lady for so many years, she felt that this was something she could do.

The old lady knew very well what kind of card she was holding, and she could seek unlimited benefits for herself and her eldest son's family, as well as her little daughter. is obviously her child, just because Hou Ye did not give up the title to her eldest son according to her wishes, she has always regarded Hou Ye as an enemy.

Ran Jia felt that neither the eldest lord nor the aunt nor the aunt were filial to him, and he was really a person who couldn't figure it out, doing things like this, treating people like this, and he could still live so arrogantly and freely, thanks to the Hou Ye's forbearance and filial piety.

"Hou Ye can have today not by the name on his head, but by his ability. Hou Ye is famous in front of the emperor, even if he is Bai Ding, the emperor is willing to give him a higher and better name to continue to work for the people. As for money, it's something outside the body, and if they really fall down, can you, a little rich woman, help you? ”

"Help, definitely help! But I only help the master, as for the Hou Ye who has raised a bunch of concubines, let's solve it by myself. She snorted, and after speaking, she poked her finger into Ying Key's chest and said: "And you, if you bring me a concubine into the door, I will seek justice from the master, we will reconcile, and the child will be mine!" ”

Ying Key's face turned dark, and he gritted his teeth and roared: "Daughter-in-law, let's talk about the Hou Mansion, what are you doing with me?" And as I said, I only guard you and your children in this life. ”

"Okay, okay, anyway, you just have a bottom in your heart," Ran Jia hurriedly covered his mouth and said with a chuckle. "You are not allowed to help Master Hou!"

"No matter how down-and-out the Hou Ye is, it won't be like this," he said stiffly, his face was still not very good.

Ying Jian finally agreed with Ran Jia to attend Xuehua's birthday banquet, and told her a lot of words, but Ran Jia directly tiptoed his collar and blocked his lips.

The world was quiet all of a sudden, and she felt helpless and slightly painful in her heart, they lacked too much warmth without father and mother, so because of the arrival of a little life, they became less like them.

Ying Jian just told her that she wanted to solve the affairs of the Hou Mansion as soon as possible, and a few days later, at the wedding banquet of the prime minister's grandson, the eldest lord of the Hou Mansion drunkenly teased the side lady of a first-class official, and was directly discounted by someone.

The old lady of the Hou Mansion was unwilling, and the noisy whole mansion was not at peace.

When Ran Jia heard this, she couldn't help but send Aunt Zhang to inquire about the news, Aunt Zhang didn't dare to come to Mrs. Hou this time, so she called out Ran Yu and asked carefully, and when she came back, she repeated it in great detail.

The Hou Ye felt sad and angry at the old lady's unreasonable troubles again, obviously the eldest lord was drunk and immoral, and it was already in his face that people just broke the eldest lord's leg. And the doctor also said that after two or three months in bed, you can still walk as before, and there will be no sequelae.

This matter can be regarded as a relatively proper overturn, but the old lady actually asked the first-class official to compensate the eldest master for 100,000 taels of silver, saying that the side lady is just a concubine, and to put it nicely, she is half a master, and she is not a slave who is allowed to be sold. Her son was drunk and gaffeed, didn't the matter go on to the end, just reprimand two sentences, how could he still be lame.

Hou Ye's face was directly thrown to the Yue family, this time he didn't let the old lady make trouble, but calmly said that he wanted to split up.

Where is the old lady willing to stroke her chest and cry and say that the Hou Ye is a white-eyed wolf, she doesn't care about family affection at all, and it's not interesting to live by herself, and she was about to hit the wall, but was stopped by a group of girls.

Hou Ye's face turned pale, "Mother, although you are making trouble, I ask myself that I have never treated you and my brother badly, but you touched your chest, have you ever been kind to our family?" The whole capital is watching our jokes, can't you save some face for your son? ”

"Face? You are not filial to your mother and respect your eldest brother, where is your face? Phew, let me tell you Qin Xiao, if you don't ask for 100,000 silver for your brother, don't call me mother! The old lady was supported by a group of girls, and she began to wail the deceased old marquis again.

"Mother, the son of 100,000 taels of silver is incompetent or he won't come back," Hou Ye shook his head in disappointment, and said in a firm tone: "But the family must be divided, you can make conditions, how can you divide the family?" Don't make any more trouble, how many years you have used these moves, they no longer work with your son. ”

"Are you really going to break up?" The old lady took the handkerchief and pretended to wipe away her tears, and asked sadly.

Hou Ye closed his eyes tightly and nodded: "Yes, the eldest brother is the eldest in the family, and you love him very much, shouting that their family will honor you, and we will only be angry with you." You can live with them, after all, in any family, the old man lives with his eldest son. ”

"Okay, it turns out that you made this calculation, you dislike me, the old lady who gave birth to you and raised you, and want to drive me out of the house together?" The old lady covered her face sadly and began to cry as she spoke.

"Mother, it's not interesting for you to do this, it's better to just say the request," Hou Ye didn't do the same as before, as soon as she wailed, he anxiously admitted his mistake and apologized and promised to do a good job.

The old lady chuckled in her heart, remembering that the Hou Ye had indeed changed a lot in recent days, as if it had started with the third granddaughter and the ceremony. But she's done this before, haven't seen him react so strongly? It must have been his daughter-in-law who was blowing the wind in his ears with him, and the old lady held a handkerchief to cover her face, and glared at Mrs. Hou viciously.

"Okay, as long as you can agree to all my conditions, I will definitely draw a line with your eldest brother and you, and I won't be an eyesore in front of you and your wife." She pushed away the girls, patted the soil on her clothes, sat back down, and said with a cold face.

"You say," Hou Ye also said lightly with a cold face.

"First, you have to return the Hou Ye that you snatched from your brother, along with the entire mansion and the property of the Hou Mansion, he is the boss, and he should inherit the entire Hou Mansion," the old lady really guessed as Ying Key, and the lion opened his mouth and said, "Second, you and your daughter-in-law have enjoyed the glory and wealth brought by the Hou Mansion for so many years, you have to make some compensation, right?"

I don't want much, just 200,000 taels is easy for you, right?

Third, your brother's leg was discounted in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and you didn't help him get justice, and your daughter-in-law's family also sat idly by. You guys make me feel so cold, since you don't want to come back for 100,000 taels, I'll give you two choices, either make up 100,000 taels yourself, or automatically cross it out of the family tree!

As long as you meet these three conditions, you will take your Yangguan Road in the future, and we will cross our single-plank bridge. ”

Hou Ye felt immersed in the cold pool, how much hatred there was between mother and son, and she forced him to come here. The old lady calculated the silver and assets in the hands of Mrs. Hou, and asked for 200,000 taels.

After giving these 200,000 taels, how could they come up with another 100,000 taels, it was nothing more than letting them automatically ask to be removed from the family tree!

Hou Ye really has no other income, the court's Yulu is a drop in the bucket for the huge Hou Mansion, and there are a lot of properties under the name of the Hou Mansion, but when the old lady handed it over to Mrs. Hou Ye, she was already half defeated and half greedy, and she could almost only maintain the basic daily expenses of the Hou Mansion, and the extra need for Mrs. Hou Ye to post money into it herself.

Hou Ye cares about national affairs, and he has no gold and silver in his eyes, and because of Mrs. Hou's virtuous help, he has never spent silver in his hands.

He was angry and hurt, but he still stretched his reason and glanced at Mrs. Hou and asked with his eyes. Two or three hundred thousand taels is not a small amount!

Mrs. Hou Ye can understand Hou Ye's feelings, since marrying into the Hou Mansion, she has suffered too many grievances, and even the children are precocious, and she knows that she has to endure the brothers and sisters of the old man's family. For the sake of the children, she also admits that she is out of the house, as long as she draws a clear line with this unclear family, is it possible that the father and brother really have to bear to see their own family down? She didn't show it on her face, nodded slightly, leaned forward in a very low voice, and said, "Master Hou, we can still make up 200,000 yuan, and we can't get any more." ”

Hou Ye listened with bitterness on the corners of his lips, "Okay, my son will respond to his mother's three requests." ”

After saying that, he asked his personal servants to ask the patriarchs and elders to testify.
