On the same day, the side branch of the Xue family took Xue Pan, and there was no reason to surround the Xue family anymore. So before dusk, the outside of Xue's house was clear.

It's just that here, it's not clean.

Aunt Xue cried so much that she almost passed out. Xue Baochai bit his lip and sat on the Eight Immortals chair without saying a word, staring at the ground in a silent daze.

These two people, everyone understands, this matter is not so simple.

It's just that one thinks that it was made by the Jia family's big house, but the other thinks that it was done by the second house of the Jia family.

Aunt Xue cried for a while, looked up and saw Baochai, pounced and begged, "Good girl, think of a way to save your brother." ”

Xue Baochai glanced up at her mother, opened her mouth and said softly, "How do you want to save me?" I told him at the beginning that the products of the clan should not be coveted. Originally, because my father was the patriarch, it was right that our family was in charge of these things. But now that my father is deceased, what should be returned to the clan must not be kept.

"It's a blessing that we don't have to be invaded by others, but he still wants to swallow the elephant and take all the products of the clan into his pocket. If I had known, I would have done some work for him early and prepared. But he had to hide it and squander all the money in the clan.

"Mom told me to save him, so who will save me? My brother is not young, he is already seventeen. At such an age, I have to rely on my sister to save me, where will there be light in our family in the future?

"Today he takes possession of the property of the clan and I will save him, but tomorrow if he kills someone, what shall I do to save him? Is it just an uncle's name card? Even if the mother tried, this time with her uncle's name card, could she save her brother. ”

Aunt Xue howled: "You girl is ruthless, I knew that your blood was cold, but I didn't think that you even had a cold heart." ”

Xue Baochai smiled bitterly and asked, "Mother said I was cold-blooded?" Dare to ask my mother where to start? Since my father's death, which family affairs are not my care? Now that my brother has committed a big incident, he is not angry, and my mother does not blame him, but scolds me, what is the reason. ”

Aunt Xue cried: "Didn't that Ying'er beat you up? You can even sell her when you say it, and dare to say that you are not cold-blooded. Now that your brother is in trouble, not only do you not have an idea, but you also blame him for being greedy everywhere. If he hadn't done it for this family, he would have taken possession of the clan's property, and he didn't want you to have more dowry if you married in the future! ”

Xue Baochai raised his hand and waved: "Don't say it, I really want to laugh off my big teeth." What exactly he did with the property of the clan, my mother should know better than me. Even with all this money to squander, it is still not enough. I also take care of the bills that come to my home every month.

"My mother didn't know how much money was spent on which shop, but I could never forget it. Not to mention anything else, just drinking a flower wine can cost two thousand silver a night, and Brother Xiao Rong of the East Mansion also drinks flower wine, and the family is only two thousand a month, and his brother is much more powerful than him. ”

Aunt Xue saw that Baochai's oil and salt did not enter, and she was immediately furious, straightened up and pointed at Baochai's maid and was about to scold.

At this moment, Yan'er outside the house suddenly shouted, "The viscountess is here." ”

Aunt Xue hurriedly put away her hand, turned around and wiped her tears, and asked someone to invite in.

Wang Xifeng entered the door here, and saw that Baochai's face was pale, and the second aunt's eyes were red, and she wanted to know what was going on inside.

"What wind brought you here?" Aunt Xue smiled and invited Wang Xifeng to sit down, and asked someone to serve tea.

Wang Xifeng took a seat, looked at Xue Baochai carefully, and then smiled: "A good girl, it doesn't look good if you have a straight face." What the hell, I heard that the people of the Xue family have come to the door. ”

Xue Baochai knew that Wang Xifeng must already know what was going on, but it was always difficult to speak rashly, so he pretended not to know.

So she smiled reluctantly and said to Wang Xifeng: "It's not a big deal, but this year, the grain and rice in the clan are uneven, and I have to find someone to ask for an explanation." The current patriarch refuses to take responsibility, and insists on relying on the old routine.

"My father was the patriarch when he was alive, and he set this old rule, and the current patriarch came to the door with someone. My brother had a temper and couldn't see them speaking ill of his father, so he quarreled a few words, ran into the patriarch, and was tied up in the wrong place. ”

Wang Xifeng sighed and said, "It's no wonder that you, our family doesn't make such trouble every year?" O people of this sidewalk, what you are doing is wrong. The master's family is fine, he thinks that the master's family eats too much, and if he doesn't give it to them, the master's family will be rich.

"If this master's family is not good, they will think that the master's family is incapable and will not be able to bring the children of the clan to live. You say, these masters are also unlucky, no matter how good or bad, they are all wrong. ”

Xue Baochai tugged at the corners of his mouth and nodded, "Not really." ”

Wang Xifeng looked at Aunt Xue and said with a smile: "That aunt is also worried, but it's just a collision with the patriarch, what can be a big deal?" It's nothing more than kneeling in the ancestral hall for one night, and then being released the next day. ”

Aunt Xue can't say how bitter she is now, and her teeth itch with hatred.

"Our wife said that she hadn't seen her cousin for a few days, and she missed it. I was asked to come and see today, and I heard about such a thing. I don't know if there is anything I can do to help, otherwise I asked someone to take the post of the second master and ask Ying Tianfu to send someone to take a look? ”

Aunt Xue was overjoyed and was about to agree, but she heard Baochai say firmly: "No need! We understand my sister-in-law's kindness, but this mistake is wrong, and when it is punished, it will be punished.

"And my brother is so old, he can't remember it without some lessons."

Aunt Xue's eyes were split, and she looked at Baochai and said angrily: "You just want your brother to die!" What good can you do if he dies? Do you want to monopolize the property in this family and take it out as a dowry? ”

Xue Baochai was also angry, looked at her mother and said, "I will not marry in this life, and I will not help him." If my mother is worried that I will take all the family property away as a dowry, then I swear now that I will not have to pay me a penny from my family, whether I marry or not! ”

Aunt Xue shook her arm and pointed at her and said, "Okay, good, you said this!" I don't have you as a daughter! Don't expect to take away a dowry in the future. ”

Baochai sneered and stood up: "Mother doesn't have to worry, I already knew that my mother can't count on it." Everyone else is planning for their daughter's future, but my mother is pushing her daughter into the fire pit. ”

Wang Xifeng sat there and called an embarrassment, how could the mother and daughter quarrel without looking at the situation, they really regarded themselves as transparent.

She hurriedly got up and sneered: "I should also go, the second master is still waiting for me at home, my aunt and cousin are all extinguishing the fire, since there is nothing serious, why swear such a poisonous oath." ”
