051 Rivalry
Chen Xi's face sank, he saw that Du Mingyan was so confused, and was about to step forward and whisper a few words to her, but was stopped by Chen Ting: "Chen Xi, since Miss Du has already said that she wants me to send it, why do you want to be the one who protects the flowers?" is too attentive to your sister-in-law, and your princess doesn't like it in her heart, hahaha! ”
Chen Xi saw that the passers-by were all turning back to their group of people frequently, pointing and pointing, and it was not easy to argue anymore, so he turned his head and ordered someone to find a carriage, looking like he wanted to follow them to Du Mansion.
Chen Ting stretched out a hand to Du Mingyan to help her up. Du Mingyan glanced at him timidly, and her slender hand limply touched his hand, and her cheeks immediately became hot.
Lin Lang saw that Du Mingyan was fine, so he asked, "Does the girl recognize a person named Wang Cheng?" ”
Du Mingyan was being supported by Chen Ting, patting the ash on his skirt, and when he heard him ask, he raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "I also recognize him when he turns into ashes!" ”
Lin Lang nodded and arched his hand to her: "It's because my majesty is not strict that the girl suffers." When I catch him, I will definitely give the government an explanation. Then he took his leave.
When the carriage came, Chen Ting helped Du Mingyan into the carriage. Du Mingyan held the curtain in her hand, her eyes were full of autumn water, and she said timidly: "Don't you want to turn me somewhere else......"
Chen Ting looked at her like this, and his heart was really a little itchy. The beauty is like jade and all kinds of amorous, and there is no such high-quality goods in his palace.
He walked closer, squeezed Du Mingyan's hand, and laughed in a low voice: "How could I kidnap you?" You kidnapped my heart first......"
Before the words fell, Chen Xi, who was next to him, threw a horsewhip on the buttocks of the horse pulling the cart, and the carriage began to run forward as soon as he boarded.
Chen Ting was taken aback, and hurriedly dodged backwards so that he was not knocked down by the wheel. He looked at Chen Xi angrily and roared, "What are you doing!" ”
Chen Xi pointed at the back with a whip expressionlessly, and said, "Big brother, you are blocking the road." After that, he also whipped the horse and followed Du Mingyan's car.
Chen Ting looked at his back and spat fiercely, scolding: "Damn, where did the wild mongrel come from, dare to be arrogant in front of me!" ”
The porter of Du Mansion was shocked and frightened when he saw that the two princes had sent the eldest girl back, so he ran into the courtyard and invited the two masters out.
This is the first time the second master has seen Chen Xi, he saw Chen Xi respectfully saluting him, his words and deeds were very humble, and he had a sense of reality as a prince and father-in-law in his heart, and his face became proud.
The eldest man smiled and stayed at the guest: "It's the first time you come to the house, go in and have a cup of tea before leaving!" ”
Chen Xi thought to himself, this is actually the third time to come back...... He smiled and nodded, "Then bother." ”
Du Mingyan was dragged by her subordinates to the upper room, and when she saw that none of the female dependents in the family were left behind, they were all sitting in the house. She stood stiffly in the middle of the room with her head held high, carrying her burden, and did not say a word.
Mrs. Du said angrily: "Shameless things, don't kneel yet!" ”
"Who is shameless when you take me to befriend me and marry me to a tuberculosis ghost?" Du Mingyan knew that there would be no good result when she returned home, so she simply broke the jar and broke it, but she was more tough.
The eldest lady got up, poured a cup of hot tea on Du Mingyan, pointed at her nose and scolded: "You wolf-hearted thing!" Wishful thinking of being a concubine for Cheng Anhou, do you want to drag the whole family to die with you? What good will it do you to make a concubine for a concubine, compete with the princess, and ruin the future of your uncle and your father? ”
"As long as it's not good for you, it's good for me!" Du Mingyan said with a stiff neck.
With a "snap", a loud slap hit Du Mingyan's face.
Du Mingyan stared at the eldest lady with dead eyes, and suddenly spat on her face.
The eldest lady was so angry that she took out a handkerchief and wiped her face, and called people in a stack: "Go and strip this shameless thing and kneel for me in the courtyard!" When to be honest, when to get up! ”
A few mothers-in-law came in to look at Mrs. Du's face, and when they saw her sitting and smoking a hookah without saying a word, they had the courage to go to Du Mingyan.
Du Mingyan desperately protected the burden in her hands, and scolded endlessly.
The eldest lady walked up to her, took advantage of the chaos to snatch her burden in her hand, and said hatefully: "Those who run prostituously still know how to prepare some soft bodies for themselves!" ”
She handed the bag to the maid and instructed, "Take it apart and leave it on the ground for me, and see what good things she has brought to the adulterer!" ”
Du Mingyan struggled to step forward to grab the burden, but four or five mothers-in-law imprisoned her, and she couldn't move.
The baggage was opened, and in addition to Du Mingyan's jewelry, there were five or six purses. The maid opened the purses, and a thick stack of silver tickets was taken out of each purse. The large denominations were five hundred taels, and the small ones were twenty taels.
The people in the room were taken aback, and the eldest lady snatched the silver tickets in her hand and counted them carefully, and there were as many as ten thousand taels.
"Good, good, good!" The eldest lady was happy and angry, "No wonder your rotten aunt can't find a penny in the house, it turns out that it's all here with you!" It's hateful that we still take care of your face and treat you with good food and drink! ”
"That's all the money my aunt saved, you pay me back!" Du Mingyan was so anxious that her face turned white and she struggled frantically.
"The money she saved?" The eldest lady pinched the pile of silver tickets and smiled coldly, "You sold the dowry of your sister and mother, and you were greedy for the proceeds of those dowries, you still have the face to say!" ”
Du Mingxin looked at the silver tickets, his eyes sinking and sinking. "Auntie, please ask someone to bring the Liu family over." She said with a calm face.
A moment later, the laundry maid Liu was brought in. As soon as she saw Du Mingyan who was being pressed and kneeling on the ground, and the silver ticket in the eldest lady's hand, her legs were weak and she collapsed on the ground.
Du Mingxin stepped forward, pinched Liu's chin with two fingertips, raised her head, and asked, "Do you know the origin of all this money in Du Mingyan's baggage?" ”
The Liu family has been terrified in the past two days, but in the middle of the night, they can't help but fantasize, if their daughter gains power in the Hou Mansion, or even surpasses Mr. Princess to have a son, how good it would be?
Now disillusioned, she just shook her head and cried hard.
"If you don't speak, you will admit that the money is coming from the wrong way. During the time you were taking care of my father's mid-life feed, my mother's dowry shop was missing two, the grange was missing two, and the rest of the income was almost none. I'm going to punish you, do you have any objections? ”
Du Mingyan scolded on the side: "Du Mingxin, you don't have a tone of settling accounts after the autumn here!" If it weren't for my aunt's careful care, my mother's dowry would have been impossible to keep! ”
Du Mingxin walked up to her, stared at her for a long time, and then raised his hand and slapped her. "You remember it clearly for me, I am a concubine, you are a concubine, and you have no hope of climbing on my head in this life!"
