Chapter 198 Salary Draw from the Bottom of the Cauldron (2)

Citron listened to her brother's explanation and stamped her foot in a hurry. During that time, Xun Qingran controlled her so strictly, she thought it was Xun Qingran's jealousy, pinched her, and didn't want her to have more contact with Second Mrs. Qi, but it turned out to be to cut off the news between her and her family, and to prepare for today's bureau. By the way, her brother and mother went to Qi Mansion to look for her, and after Xun Qingran found out, he generously let her go home for a day of reunion, which must also contain evil intentions.

Such an old lady, and such an honest brother, not only can't be her help, but they believe what others say.

"If you sold me so ruthlessly, don't bother me anymore. I'm just dying outside, and that's my life. Who wants you to take me back at this time? Citron sat on the kang and began to cry.

Citron's brother rubbed his hands, at a loss.

Citron cried twice, suddenly raised her head, and asked, "Brother, how did you come up with the idea of using my mother's serious illness to trick me back, and those two also taught my brother?" ”

With her brother's honesty, the most likely scenario is to ransom her in a daze.

Sure enough, Citron's brother nodded.

"I said I wanted to save you back, and I had to bring money to ransom you. They can't say it, you are a death contract, and the fourth grandmother is definitely not willing to spare you. He also said that Qi Mansion pays the most attention to filial piety, and I want to make a fuss about it, I discussed it with my mother, and I came up with this method. ”

Sure enough, it was all arranged by Xun Qingran, Citron thought hatefully.

When Citron's brother saw Citron so depressed, he persuaded, "Sister, my brother said something unpleasant. I also met the fourth master of the Qi family, who doesn't like that kind of person. But it's not something like ours that can climb high. There's another grandmother by the side. Sister, it's not easy for us to get a life, you first accompany your mother at home, and after a few days, my brother will take the money to ask for your deed and come back, and my brother will prepare a dowry for you, and find you a rich family in the future......"

Citron was impatient to listen to her brother's words, and interrupted: "What do you know, I can get this status today, how much hardship I have suffered, do you know how difficult it is? ”

She has worked hard all these years and finally wants to live a good life, but because of this family affection, it all came to naught. She was not reconciled.

Citron told her mother and brother about her in the Qi family.

“…… There is an old lady and his wife to call the shots for me, and the fourth grandmother is unwilling to do anything to me, so she always has to give face to the old lady and his wife. ”

Citron's brother listened and scratched his head, "Sister, my brother doesn't understand the affairs of those big families very well, but I have also heard that the county officials are not as good as taking care of them now." Like you said, the fourth grandmother will not do that vicious thing if she cares about her face, but since she sent someone to do this trap, doesn't it mean that she doesn't like you and doesn't want the fourth grandmother to accept you. Sister, you have to live under the hands of the fourth grandmother, how can you have a good life. ”

"I don't understand such a simple truth." Citron glanced at her brother, "But the relationship between big families and each other is intertwined, even if they are masters, they can't do whatever they want, and if they become slaves, they don't have a way to the sky." You don't understand, she doesn't dare to do anything to me. Besides, I'm not at the mercy of anyone. ”

Brother Citron sat down silently, this girl was iron-hearted after eating the scales, and he couldn't talk about his sister as a brother.

The citron lady got down from the kang and brought a plate of steamed cakes from the kitchen.

"Girl, I haven't eaten for half a day, I'm hungry."

Citron didn't lift her eyelids, how could she be in the mood to eat at this time. She's thinking about what to do now.

Let her brother send him back to catch up with Qi You's convoy? Qi You's convoy would never be waiting for her in Tongzhou, and Xun Qingran would not send someone to pick her up. Even if she can really catch up, Xun Qingran must have prepared a backup move to wait for her, and will not accept her, and even, she and her brother will encounter any accidents on the road.

The citron didn't feel the cold sweat wet her clothes. She shouldn't have come back, this time back, it will be difficult to go back again.

Can you just give up? No, never. That's right, Second Lady Qi

Second Mrs. Qi still plans to let Qi You take her to office alone, Second Mrs. Qi is her biggest backer, at this time, of course, she is going to find Second Mrs. Qi. Let Second Lady Qi send someone to escort her back generously. Hmph, at that time, she had more face. Xun Qingran was angry to death, and she had to be left behind. Yes, that's the plan.

Citron had an idea, and she was not as anxious as Fang Cai. Only then did she realize that she was hungry, so she picked up a piece of steamed cake and put it in her mouth. The flour is ordinary flour, which has not been sifted, and the sugar used is also inferior, not sweet, but a little bitter. Citron only took one bite, then put down the steamed cake and told her mother and brother her plan.

Citron was so confident that her wife was the first to be convinced.

"Mother-in-law is partial to you, then the mother will be relieved." The old lady of the citron said.

Citron took another effort, and her brother heard what his sister said, which seemed to be very reasonable, although he was still a little uneasy in his heart, but he always felt a little indebted and weak to this sister, so he agreed.

After a night of nothing, the next day the citron got up early in the morning, washed up, and asked her brother to drive the carriage to the Anguo Mansion.

The little steward of the gatekeeper knew the citron.

"Oh, why did the girl come back?" The little steward laughed, but did not immediately put the citron in.

Citron has been in Qi Mansion for many years, and she knows that these people are all red and white, and she naturally sees the inquiries and ill intentions outside the attitude of this little steward.

Citron took a piece of silver out of her purse and handed it over.

This piece is said to have five coins, and the little steward pinched the silver in his hand, smiled like a flower on his face, and immediately bowed over and put the citron into the house.

Qi Xiu and Qi Yi brothers have not come back at this time, but they sent someone back as early as last night to report that Qi You's convoy had arrived in Tongzhou, and naturally mentioned that the citron lady was seriously ill, and Citron's brother took the citron back.

Second Mrs. Qi was uncomfortable in her heart, so she heard that the citron was coming to see her, so she hurriedly asked someone to bring the citron in.

“…… Before the maid left, she wanted to go back several times to have a look, but the four grandmothers all said that they were busy. The maidservant was worried about the maid and got sick in a hurry, so the elder brother begged the fourth master to take the maid home to see. The fourth grandmother said, just let the maid go home to serve the old lady, no need to ...... Rushing back. The maid and the old lady are already good, and the maid wants to go back to serve the fourth master, but she is worried that the fourth grandmother will not let her. The servant had no choice but to come to his wife, who failed his wife's instructions and asked his wife to punish her. ”

Citron knelt on the ground and reported to the second lady of Qi.

Second Mrs. Qi listened to Citron's words, understood what happened, and even more understood that Xun Qingran wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Citron. Naturally, she has to call the shots for the citron.

"Good boy, get up quickly, you don't have to worry, I'll send someone else to send you over. Let her not embarrass you. Second Lady Qi said.

The identity of the citron has been approved by the Rong family, and Xun Qingran is not in this mansion, the two masters and servants have introduced each other as confidants, and there are many fewer taboos to speak. There are fewer taboos, more words in their hearts, and the two feel more intimate to each other, and they are close for a while as if they are a mother and daughter.

The citron was waiting for the words of the second lady Qi, and hurriedly saluted: "The great grace of Mrs. Xie, the servant." ”

Second Lady Qi nodded with satisfaction, but she also had her plans. She wanted to send a few henchmen to follow Qi You, but she didn't have a chance. This time, by sending citrons, I just sent those people over.

"I'll send a few decent ones to send you over, and I'll leave them to follow you and the fourth master, help the fourth master, and you will also have a care." Second Lady Qi said.

The citron was naturally overjoyed and hurriedly responded.

Second Mrs. Qi planned properly, but she didn't feel that it was enough. should also let Rong also know that her favorite grandchildren and daughters-in-law are not as good as she thinks. Look, as soon as I left the house, the true face of this jealousy was revealed.

Yi Nian lived in the upper room, and Rong sat on the couch, listening to what was going on in Chen De's house.

“…… The old lady, the fourth grandmother was worried, and asked the slave to take a look. The old lady of the citron is fine, where is there any illness, and the neighbors have not seen what medicine their family has asked for. It turned out that it was their family who knew that the fourth master went to Pingxi Town, saying that Pingxi Town was desolate, and the people who went there had no return. was afraid that her daughter would suffer, and knew that the Anguo Mansion was treated with leniency and filial piety, so she made up a lie, deceived the fourth master and the fourth grandmother, and took back the citron. ”

"Is that really the case?" Rong asked in a deep voice.

"Back to the old lady, the slave doesn't dare to lie. The citron's house is on Wulin Street, just find someone, ask and you will know, you can't hide it. Don't be angry with the old lady, I'm afraid this is not the idea of the citron girl, but the idea of her own family. "The Tao of Chen Dejia.

This did not alleviate Yung's anger.

"They also dare to know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and the ungrateful things are ungrateful," Rong said angrily, "The slave who sold the death deed will have his master's life." The son of my Anguo Mansion, a saint close minister, a second-class official, and a feudal official, promoted her as a slave to make a room, which was given to her dignity. What kind of people are in their family, they dare to be suspicious of the West, and they actually do such ungrateful things because they spare their lives and take the master's heart."

The people who were waiting in the house knew that Rong was really angry, so they didn't dare to say anything.

It was Mama Jiang who stepped forward and persuaded: "The old lady is angry, it's not worth it for a slave." ”

"Yes, old lady, the small family is not knowledgeable and ignorant." Another grandmother also came up to persuade her.

"If you don't know how to repay your kindness, you don't understand the truth of your loyal master?" Rong said coldly.

At this time, the little girl outside came in to report that Second Mrs. Qi was here.

"The second wife is here, and she brought a citron girl."
