She gave Guan Yao a thumbs up, not stingy with praise. She knew in her heart that Guan Yao didn't like such intrigues, insinuations, she was used to being free, and her personality was more direct, so twists and turns, even if she won the trick, she would not be happy.

"Don't make yourself unhappy for people who don't matter. If you want to live in this mansion, you have to hold on to your momentum, otherwise you will be bullied and come to you every day to bargain. Mo Qiantao soothed, saw her smile restrained, and said, "Think about your big brother Xiao." ”

Guan Yao's face immediately turned red, and his red face was more colorful than the lotus flowers in the lotus pond.

Not far from the pavilion, lotus leaves are undulating with the wind, pink and white. The scenery is pleasant, the sky is blue, and it is a good day to enjoy the scenery.

After a while, the next person came to inform Lan Hui that she was coming. Mo Qiantao knew that Lan Hui was a debt collector, and her own family affairs were different from Fang Cai's situation, so she stepped down on her own.

When Lan Hui appeared, she was wearing gold and silver, and she looked like a broad lady more than Guan Yao, but she was too flamboyant and looked vulgar.

"I haven't seen my sister for a few days, but this time I am much more expensive." As soon as Lan Hui appeared, the smell of fragrant powder wafted in the wind.

Wan Yao knew where her smell came from. There is a small jar in her house that she has been reluctant to use, which was given by Xiao Guqin a few days ago.

Thinking about it, she is generous in eating and dressing everywhere, and she lives more nourishing than herself. Thinking about it, Guan Yao was a little reluctant in his heart, so he was stunned and said to her, "But the silver is spent?" ”

Lan Hui laughed, and then used Guan Sheng as a shield, "I was worried that Guan Sheng was tired, so I hired two entourages for him, and I was waiting for him every day. ”

Guan Yao smiled, it was a bit far-fetched, she saved money every month, and took out all the money to support Guan Sheng's family. People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, she only gave a lot of her monthly money to Lan Hui a few days ago, and now she has no silver at her disposal, so after hesitating for a while, she plucked out the bead hairpin and gave it to Lan Hui.

"Take it and pawn it, it should be worth a lot of silver."

"Okay. Thank you, sister, I will say that Guan Sheng has a good sister, which is a blessing from several lifetimes of cultivation. Lan Hui happily patted her ass, staring at Wan Yao's earrings with a pair of eyes. My sister's earrings are really good-looking, but they can't really set off your luxury, and my brother-in-law should have given my sister a lot of earrings. ”

The implication is that there are not many pairs, and there are many pairs less, so it is better to cheapen her.

Lan Hui's inch by inch, Guan Yao is not the first time to see. This earring was given by Xiao Guqin before she got married, and she rarely brought it out, not because it was very precious, but because it meant a lot to her.

"I can't give you this, if there is nothing else to do, you can go back." Before Guan Yao's words fell, the person had already turned around and walked away.

"I can't imagine that my sister will be stingy with me, or treat me as an outsider? I gave birth to a son for Guan Sheng, and I have no credit and hard work. Lan Hui stood there and reproached her, her greedy appearance eager to pounce on her.

How?

She can't say no yet? was actually pampered so far, which was also an eye-opener for Guan Yao.

"This object is on me, it is my own thing, I am willing to give it away, I can throw it away if I don't want to." Guan Yao is angry, how can this Lan Hui not know what to do.

She left angrily, leaving Lan Hui in place with her eyebrows crossed and stomped her feet coldly.

At this time, Mo Qiantao was in her guest room, inserting lotus buds into the bottle. Then I heard Guan Yao come in panting.

When she turned around, she saw that the hairpin on her head was gone.

"You've lost a hairpin?"

Guan Yao slapped the table and said, "This Lan Hui is really excessive, she comes to me every once in a while to ask for silver flowers, and those who don't know think I owe her." ”

Mo Qiantao understood, "So, you gave her the pearl hairpin?" ”

Guan Yao nodded, picked up the kettle and took a big sip.

"Have you ever thought about it, if Brother Xiao knew that you used all the monthly money to replace the Guan Sheng family, what would he think, and even take your pearl hairpin to pawn." She didn't understand why Guan Yao was so indulgent to Guan Sheng's family, all of them had hands and feet, but they wanted to squeeze their own sister, and they didn't want to think that she also had her own difficulties.

"Brother Xiao should be unhappy." Guan Yao was upset when she thought of this, how could she dare to complain to Xiao Guqin, for fear of making trouble for him, this was her own family matter.

"I think that Lan Hui is like a white-eyed wolf, but I don't think about your good at all." She suddenly remembered something, and said, "When you gave her a pearl hairpin, was it seen by others?" ”

Wan Yao was confused and still had the heart to pay attention to others, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's not good if you are seen in this matter, you take your husband's money to supplement your brother, it's always bad to say it, people will only say that you don't know how to be sympathetic." Mo Qiantao reminded her. Seeing that she looked ignorant, she knew that it had little effect. If Lan Hui comes to her next time to ask for money, she will also give it.

*

The night gradually became muggy, and there were so many mosquitoes that flew all over the house, which made Mo Qiantao really difficult to sleep, so she sat up and began to repel mosquitoes.

She simply got up and boiled herself a basin of water, intending to take a good bath.

Just as she closed her eyes to recuperate, there was a thud of a tile being trampled on, and then it fell from the roof. Mo Qiantao was startled and hurriedly protected the spring light on her chest.

A bright moonlight came in through the gap, her whole body was tense, and her voice was a little low, "Who...... Who is it? ”

The man on the roof, how could he have thought that he had touched a tiled roof that needed to be repaired, he was stunned for a moment, and a female voice floated out of the house.

It seems to be scary, and it will be even more terrifying if I go down to apologize. Thinking so, he turned and quickly left.

Mo Qiantao naturally didn't wait for a response, she stood up and got dressed, feeling that this room was weird and made her unable to stay. I went to the next room and spent the night with my mother-in-law.

The person on the roof was Xia Chunfeng, he had been looking for Mo Qiantao's whereabouts, he didn't believe what Feng Rongxi said, he thought that Mo Qiantao must still be locked up in the Wu Mansion.

So he entered the Wu Mansion in the dark at night, and he did not find any useful clues.

Back in the White Crane Courtyard, he lay down on the soft couch, and then looked at the handwriting left by Mo Qiantao in a daze.

These days, he has been thinking about what Mo Qiantao has experienced, how can it be so tortuous and circuitous......

Thinking about it, one thing is certain, she must have suffered a lot.

Thinking of the irritability, he went outside and poured cold water on himself.

The next day, Wan Yao was busy changing Mo Qiantao's house when he was summoned by the old lady of the Xiao family, Yuan. Mo Qiantao looked at her hurried back, and the face of the mother-in-law who led her over was gloomy, guessing that it should not be a good thing. He followed.

Yuan is about sixty-six years old, rarely comes out to walk around, often stays in his yard to plant flowers and grass, is a person with Yaxing.

At this time, a group of three aunts and six women were gathered in the study, waiting to see the good show of Guan Yao. As soon as Yuan saw her appear, he took her hand and asked her to sit down.

"Tell me what's going on?"

Guan Yao was confused, "What does this mean?" ”

"Sister-in-law, don't pretend, we all see it for real." Yuan Lilin smiled sadly, with a look of ill will.

Wan Yao's heart was confused, and she suddenly understood, but she didn't say anything, and she naturally couldn't drill into a dead end, "This ...... I don't quite understand if my cousin can say it explicitly. ”

"Yo! Look at this innocent sample, you don't cry when you don't see the coffin, in the end, you are a countryman, marrying into our Xiao family is a blessing that you have cultivated for eight lifetimes, you don't cherish it, but instead take the money of your husband's family to support your younger brother, how can this be reasonable. Our aunt and cousin are all kind-hearted people, you can't bully people like this, can you? ”

The one who spoke with a gun and a stick was Xiao Guqin's cousin: Xiao Ruizhi. She didn't look down on Guan Yao before, she only knew about it, and she looked down on Guan Yao even more, thinking that she was here for the wealth of the Xiao family.

Guan Yao knew that she was at a loss, but she couldn't let Xiao Ruizhi say that she seemed to have dug up the Xiao family's rich mountain.

"I did make up for Guan Sheng, but all I got was my own monthly money and my own makeup."

"What? Isn't that enough? Didn't the monthly money be given by the Xiao family? Didn't Gu Qin send the makeup? Xiao Ruizhi was very angry, as if Wan Yao had taken her own things.

was pointed at by Xiao Ruizhi and the nose was garbled, and Wan Yao was also anxious, "My mother-in-law is still there, since Aunt Ruizhi is already married, she should pay more attention to her own affairs, am I right or wrong, and the old lady should speak, Aunt Ruizhi, you are the master." ”

"My surname is Xiao, there is no distinction between respect and inferiority, no rudeness, righteousness and shame. Auntie, look at how she talks to her elders, and she won't step on your head in the future. Xiao Ruizhi brought the words to the Yuan family, and he didn't believe that the Yuan family could still sit still.

"Humble? Do you look like half an elder? After all, you are an outsider, and you are arrogant in our house every day, have you ever respected my mother-in-law? Wan Yao was glaring angrily, looking like I was not easy to mess with.

"Alright, alright." Yuan leaned on crutches and was tired of listening to the two arguing.

"Mother-in-law, you want to punish your daughter-in-law, but your daughter-in-law has admitted it and doesn't dare to complain." Guan Yao respected Yuan very much from the bottom of her heart, and after saying this, she knelt down.

"I've seen Lan Hui before, it's very tricky, would you like to go to their house with me?" Yuan's face was loving, and there was no sign of anger.
