Zhu Qianxue was so anxious that she was about to cry, she had done so many things, whether good or bad, for her cousin, she couldn't see the result like this.

But Mei Yongxin grabbed her stiffly, "What are you panicking about?" It's just an announcement, and it's not really going to get married, Mei Chengan is still in Yu'an City and hasn't come back, what's the use? Can't you see that the old lady deliberately announced this at this time just to force us to show our feet? ”

"Forcing us to show our feet?"

"That's right, you have liked Mei Chengan for so long, and now you suddenly came over to marry me, the old lady must have some doubts in her heart, she just wanted to see your reaction, everything has been prepared for our bureau, you can't ruin everything at this time."

"But...... But Xiao Ling'er ...... her"

"What's the hurry, the show hasn't started yet, she wants to be the grandmother of the Mei family, it's not so easy."

Mei Yongxin said, calmed Zhu Qianxue on the side, glanced at a few people on the side, and immediately someone stood up and saluted the old lady in front of him.

"Old lady, originally it was a family affair of the Mei family to whom the eldest young master would marry, and it was up to us outsiders to talk about it, but after all, we are all the shopkeepers of the Mei family, and the eldest young master and the eldest young grandmother of the Mei family represent the entire Mei family. But Aunt Xiao's identity is shabby, I'm afraid she can't afford to be the young grandmother of the Mei family, how can such a person be able to serve the public, and it will be even more impossible to be the housewife of the Mei family in the future. ”

"It's not, according to my left and right, it is still the future second young grandmother who wishes the eldest lady better, and it would be more convincing if she could be the housewife of the Mei family."

For a while, several people followed the conversation, all of them were saying that Xiao Ling'er's identity was not enough, and she couldn't call the identity of the Mei family's eldest and youngest grandmother, and only Zhu Qianxue, the eldest lady, was qualified.

Speaking of which, the meaning in these words is very obvious, either forcing the old lady to retract this decision, or forcing her to look at the face of the Zhu family and support Mei Yongxin, the second young master of the Mei family.

This kind of purposeful and aggressive words came to her face, Xiao Ling'er could clearly understand the meaning, and the old lady naturally heard it, and immediately opened her mouth.

"In the eyes of my Mei family, there has never been a distinction between high and low status, the ancestors of the Mei family also came out of Anding Village step by step, anyone of you here, count up to several generations, who has never had a shabby life. If we have to look down on this, won't we even look down on our ancestors? ”

"But the old lady ......"

"There is nothing, now that Ling Er has entered the door of our house, that is the person of my Mei family, if anyone dares to say that she is not in front of me, it is to say that my Mei family is not."

The meaning of the old lady's words has been obvious, and the rare strength has been held up a little, so scared that those shopkeepers dare to speak again.

Mei Yongxin stood up, "Grandmother, the shopkeeper here doesn't mean to look down on the sister-in-law, I think for them, they don't believe that the sister-in-law is this young grandmother, not because her family is shabby, we can also see that she does have the talent to manage the shop, but I just don't know if this virtue is worthy of her talent." ”

"Where did the Second Young Master start with this?"

"Where to start?" Zhu Qianxue couldn't bear to stand up, "This Aunt Xiao is too good at everything, even if she has entered the door of the Mei family, she still has to attract bees and butterflies outside." When she was still in Anding Village, it was rumored that she had an innocent past with an older bachelor in the village, and now she moved to Mei's house to live, and some people saw her walk into the next person's room in the dead of night. With this alone, where is she qualified to be the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Mei family? ”

"I wish Qianxue!"

"Shut up." The old lady's brow furrowed, and she was very displeased.

The misunderstanding of this matter has been cleared up, even if Qianxue, this girl, no longer likes Ling Er, she should never bring this matter out at such a time. "You misunderstood your cousin-in-law that day, the facts are in front of you, your cousin's suspicion has been clarified, and I also said that no one is allowed to discuss this matter anymore, don't think that you are the daughter of Zhu Ying's kid, you can do anything wrong in our family. I can agree to your marriage to Yongxin, or I can unilaterally dissolve it. ”

"Old lady, why are you so partial to this woman?"

"Grandmother is indeed a little eccentric." Mei Yongxin grabbed Zhu Qianxue and signaled that she didn't need to say more, just took a few steps forward and continued to speak, "Regarding whether my cousin-in-law's virtue is really worthy of the identity of this young grandmother, regardless of what happened at the last dinner, then I am afraid that these account books and accounts in my hand can also explain a little." ”

Very good, Xiao Ling'er's eyes widened, and she knew that the main event was coming just by listening to Mei Yongxin's words.

At such an important moment as the shopkeeper's conference, Mei Yongxin will definitely not be without action, he has been preparing for so long, just waiting for an opportunity to kill himself with one blow, and the small fights in front of Zhu Qianxue are just foreshadowing.

Mei Yongxin handed over the account book in his hand to the next person and passed it to the old lady, before turning to face the shopkeepers and speaking, his voice was also raised, "Grandmother, you have to take a closer look, what is recorded in this account book is that over the years, Xiao Ling'er relied on her identity as the concubine of the Mei family, and used the cooperation between herself to sell herbs and Baicaotang to make personal gains for herself. began to use his identity for his own benefit, if he became the grandmother of the Mei family, he may not know what kind of things he would do in the future, grandmother, you are old, and it is just a matter of mistakenly believing in this kind of villain, but I can't watch the Mei family's huge family business destroyed by her! ”

What Mei Yongxin said was so convincing, as if there was really such a thing.

Xiao Ling'er originally thought that he had to do something earth-shattering, but it turned out that it was just a little trick to do it on the ledger, she didn't need to look at it to know that there was naturally something wrong with the things in this account, and at most there were some small leaks, but it was just because she was still trying to get rid of the relationship with the Mei family, and she did sell some herbs to Baicaotang.

But this doesn't mean anything, at least there will be no mistakes in the accounts that go in and out, and when Mei Chengan comes back, he can quickly find out where Mei Yongxin did when he carefully compares the things on the accounts.

He is so proud here now, but because Mei Chengan is not in Tang County, and now at the shopkeeper's meeting, no one can testify for her to point out that these accounts are wrong.

Although Shopkeeper Fang couldn't come up with any evidence, he still took a few steps forward and arched his hand towards the old lady, "Old lady, it is difficult to distinguish between the true and false things on this account, not to mention that the Baicao Hall was managed by the eldest young master before, and the second young master has never been involved, but now most of the evidence in this account book is related to Baicaotang, it is difficult to say whether it is because the second young master does not know much about the accounts of Baicaotang." In my opinion, we can't jump to conclusions about this matter, and we still have to wait until the eldest young master comes back. ”

"Xiao Ling'er is very capable, I didn't expect that even the old man trusted by the Mei family, the shopkeeper Fang, would be willing to come out for her when there is no evidence. What's the matter, has the Mei family treated you badly in the past few years? ”

"Where is the second young master? The Mei family is as kind to me as a mountain, I naturally don't dare to have the slightest dissent, but I am afraid that it is a little early to draw conclusions about Aunt Xiao just by relying on an account book, not to mention that the eldest young master will be able to come back from Yu'an City soon, isn't it better to leave this kind of thing to the eldest young master to deal with? ”

"Then what if these things were Mei Cheng'an's acquiescence to Xiao Ling'er's doing, wanting to elevate his grandmother's rights step by step, and swallow all the Mei family's property by himself? Besides, even if this is not the case, it is still difficult for the Qing officials to judge family affairs, and you let the husband and wife testify against each other, isn't it a joke? ”

"But ......"

Mei Yongxin was aggressive, as if he wouldn't give up if he didn't give her a punishment today.

He just forced and forced again and again, either to let the old lady give up Xiao Ling'er and completely remove this obstacle, or to obey what those shopkeepers said and put power in his hands.

Even if the old lady doesn't choose to do either, then she will definitely lose the hearts of the people, and once the old lady and Mei Chengan lose these supports, he will be the only one left who can rise up.

It's a pity that his wishful thinking played a little early.

Xiao Ling'er chuckled, and finally stood up, "Thank you Shopkeeper Fang for speaking for me, it's okay, everyone knows that things in this account book can be faked, I will be able to prove my innocence sooner or later, and I am not in a hurry." However, there are some things that cannot be faked. ”

As she spoke, she looked at Mei Yongxin and Zhu Qianxue with cold eyes, "The second young master kept saying that my virtue is not worthy of the identity of the eldest young grandmother, but I look at the second young master's virtue, I'm afraid I am not even worthy of being a man, right?" ”

"You!"

"Aunt Xiao, you are a woman's family, how can you use such words to scold people? Isn't this a clear sign of weakness? ”

"I just can't prove my innocence, but I'm embarrassed to bite back here. I think this evidence must be true, old lady, you better make a decision as soon as possible, so as not to let this scourge affect the Mei family. ”

"Swearing? Is he worthy of the word man? Xiao Ling'er was so angry that she lost her temper by these people, she didn't blame them for standing on the wrong side because of temporary interests, but Mei Yongxin is really hateful, and he is not happy if he doesn't scold.

"The second young master of the Mei family who you are calling in your mouths looks like a dog and has a vicious mind, pretending to be righteous and awe-inspiring, but he has done all the things that have lost his conscience behind his back, and even his own brothers and grandmothers can be ruthless, do you say that the word person is put on him, is it humiliated?"
