The eldest lady leaned back on the pillow, losing much energy. ()

The uncle and the uncle persuaded the eldest lady for a long time, and then they saw Rong Hua and the second wife, Wang.

Mrs. Uncle took a few steps forward and pulled Rong Hua up, "Eighth Aunt and Grandma came just in time, come and persuade your mother, seeing that the people from the Yamen are coming, you must avoid it." ”

Rong Hua glanced at the eldest lady, the eldest lady's lifeless face seemed to be covered with a layer of ash, and the whole person faded color and was lifeless.

The eldest lady propped up and said, "Yes...... Search...... Again...... It's not a raid ......",

The search is good, it really reached the point of raiding the house, not to mention that all the gold and silver must be taken away, and the fields and houses will also be seized by the imperial court.

The uncle's wife glanced at her husband, and Li Ligeng hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Sister, now is not the time to be hard, seeing that the people from the yamen are coming, what if you go to Xiaotang...... This family is still up to you, you have to think about how to deal with it. Rong Hua glanced at Li Ligeng, this calculating uncle is much smarter than the eldest wife.

The Tao family is no longer beautiful, "The eldest wife is blamed by the Tao family and doesn't know where to go, Li Ligeng doesn't want to give some money to prevent disasters for the eldest wife, and he doesn't want to take the eldest wife to the Li family."

Especially when the eldest lady entrusted her net worth to him, did he take the eldest lady back and pay back the money? A penniless big trouble was placed beside him, and the eldest lady asked him for money, but he couldn't come up with an excuse not to give it.

The best way to let the eldest lady stay in the Tao family is to help the eldest lady continue to manage the silver under the pretext that the Tao family's situation is unstable and the court will search or raid the house again and again.

Li Ligeng said that let the eldest lady take care of the entire Tao family, that is, he wanted the eldest lady to take charge of the Tao family again through this incident, Tao Zhengan was taken away by the people of the Yamen, and the elders in the Tao clan died down again, even if the matter of the eldest wife was over, the Tao family was endless, and Li Ligeng also went to a heart disease "no longer have to "deal around" for his sister.

It's really thorough.

Rong Hua sneered in his heart.

The eldest lady heard the meaning of her brother's words, clenched her hands, and looked at the green grapefruit next to her, and the green grapefruit hurriedly stepped forward to help the eldest lady get up.

The uncle's wife instructed the people in the house, "What are you still stunned about, go and raise your shoulders quickly." ”

The uncle and the uncle sang and harmonized, and the eldest lady willingly became a doll in her mother's hand and was left to fiddle.

The eldest lady lay down on her shoulder, and the uncle was busy bringing the brocade quilt to cover the eldest lady, and stepped forward to ask the eldest lady what she meant, "Where is my aunt going?" Li Ligeng glanced at his uncle's wife complainingly, "You still need to ask, naturally you go to Xiaotang, and you can take care of a few old ladies over there." ”

The eldest lady also bowed her head lightly when she heard this.

The uncle said: "I'm so busy that I can't even think about it." ”

Everything was arranged by the uncle and the uncle's wife, Rong Hua and the Wang family stood aside and became a foil, the eldest lady showed a relieved look on her face under the care of her mother's family, and her originally depressed eyes also had a little momentum, and she deliberately did not ask the Wang family and Rong Hua.

The uncle's wife asked the family to lift their shoulders out of the yard, and then turned back to Rong Hua and said, "Your father doesn't know what happened?" Did you send someone to ask? ”

Rong Hua replied lightly, "There are second and third uncles in front to take care of it, and if there is news, it will come over." ”

Mrs. Uncle's eyes flashed, and she said curtly: "That's right." ”

Rong Hua and Wang went out of the courtyard first, and the uncle and wife looked around in the house, and the maids in the house were trying to clean up some fragile ornaments according to the instructions of the eldest lady" There was a chaotic footstep in the courtyard, Tao Zhengqian brought his family and hurriedly said: "The people from the yamen are behind." ”

Rong Hua and Wang watched from a distance as the officers and soldiers entered the courtyard of the eldest lady, and after a while, Uncle Kung Fu and the maids were driven out together.

My uncle stood outside the courtyard and watched for a long time, and then hurried up. A few people entered the filial piety hall, and the uncle saw the eldest lady kneeling next to the old lady's coffin busy stepping forward.

The eldest lady didn't wait for her uncle to speak, and then spoke weakly, "How is it?" What did you look for? ”

Mrs. Uncle's face was frustrated, "I was going to help clean up, who knew that I would come in such a hurry, and I kicked people out without listening to people, and I heard a lot of voices in the house outside the yard" Bad things are certain.

The eldest lady Rao was mentally prepared, but she was still depressed and paralyzed on the ground.

Several elders who originally advocated that Tao Zhengan divorce his wife could not bear to see this situation.

The second old lady sighed and said, "Help the eldest lady up and go to the side to rest." Chen's mother took the maid to lift the eldest lady and go to the side room.

Rong Hua followed Wang and his uncle's wife together, "Chen's mother placed the eldest wife, the eldest lady seemed to have something to say, but she couldn't speak out, Wang didn't know what to do, Rong Hua asked in a low voice: "Mother is not at ease?" The eldest lady nodded.

Rong Hua continued: "There are all officers and soldiers over there, and the female dependents want to avoid it, and there is no definite news yet......

Wang also followed: "Yes, sister-in-law, don't worry about it first. ”

The corners of the big lady's mouth trembled uncontrollably.

The old lady's millennial house has recruited thieves, and the eldest lady doesn't know how much damage she has lied about, and now the government is no longer just trying to lose money, and if the "search" comes out, it will be a lawsuit.

Rong Hua and Wang looked at each other, but the uncle's wife saw what the eldest lady meant, and said in a low voice: "The master has already gone over to see, and he will come when there is news."

The eldest lady clenched her hands tightly, and Chen's mother soothed her fingers for a long time before releasing them slightly.

At the critical moment, the eldest lady also went to her brother for help, it is easier to beg her mother's family than to ask for a concubine, after all, Li Ligeng is the biological father of Concubine Jing's mother, maybe the people in the yamen will give face.

Rong Hua came out of the filial piety hall, and the wooden trough stepped forward and whispered: "Uncle didn't give things to others. ”

Li Ligeng has earned a lot of money over the years, but he is still stingy, this kind of temperament categorically refuses to trust anyone, and he must still have those silver tickets on his body.

Those borrowed tickets "are all high profits, and the eldest wife will only give them to her brother and not her sister-in-law."

"Everyone is arranged?"

Jinxiu said: "It's arranged, just wait for the people in the yamen to finish searching the courtyard." ”

Rong Hua nodded.

As he was talking, Brother Hong walked over.

After the old lady died, Brother Hong has been listless. After all, they are children, and they can't withstand the blows of life and death.

Brother Hong looked at Rong Hua and looked like he wanted to help, "If my sister has anything, tell me to do it." Watching my sister work, I didn't know what to do. ”

Rong Hua looked at Brother Hong softly, "You just need to welcome guests in the filial piety hall well." ”

Brother Hong looked reluctant, "No one has come to worship now, so it's better to help my sister." ”

Rong Hua deliberately straightened his face, "Even if no one worships, I must be filial in front of my grandmother, and my grandmother told me to take care of you before she died......"

Hearing Rong Hua talk about his grandmother Brother Hong, he didn't say anything anymore, so he had to agree and go back to Xiaotang.

After a while, the eldest lady's courtyard was searched, and Tao Zhengqian and Tao Zhengchuan came back and said, "The people in the yamen still want to look at other courtyards and let the ladies avoid it." ”

When the eldest lady heard this, she breathed a short breath again, "Look at Li Ligeng for help."

Li Ligeng said: "I also spoke, but I don't know if I can use it, so I won't continue to check if I can't say it." ”

At this point, another family member rushed to say: "Oh no, the people in the yamen have found illegal objects." ”

The second old lady and the third old lady looked at each other and asked, "What did you find?" ”

The family said: "I don't know yet, those officials only say that there are one and two, and they have to take responsibility and find out."

The eldest lady simply kept her eyes on the past and died.

Mother Chen screamed and asked the maids to go and get some medicines, but the medicines were all stored in the big lady's room, and now they can't get in. Everyone pushed and shoved for a long time, and the eldest lady came back warm.

Before the eldest lady could take a few breaths, another descendant came: "The other courtyards have gone, only the old lady is here." As he spoke, another subordinate was rushed over to cry, "Oh no" The subordinate was rushed to the side to search their bodies. ”

Tao Zheng'an had too close contact with Zhao Xin before, and Prince Zhuang would never show mercy to his subordinates. Those borrowed tickets can't be found out, otherwise it will be cheaper Li Ligeng and Concubine Jing, but they can't find out too much, otherwise they will be used by Prince Zhuang, and maybe even she will be implicated. So this matter needs to be handled just right. Rong Hua looked at Li Ligeng, and Li Ligeng panicked when he heard the word body search.

The eldest lady's gaze also fell on Li Ligeng, and she stretched out her trembling finger to point at Li Ligeng.

The stingy businessman calculates the gains and losses all the time. Li Ligeng suddenly felt that the borrowed ticket in his arms was hot.

If it was found out that he had so many borrowed tickets on him, he would not be able to explain it clearly.

Li Ligeng's eyes fell on Brother Hong, Brother Hong knelt aside in filial piety and filled the paper in the charcoal basin, Li Ligeng looked at the flames and his heart was hot.

Suddenly, the family came to report again, "The people from the Yamen are coming this way." ”

Li Ligeng suddenly felt like he had been pricked by a needle, jumped up and walked to the room behind, his eyes looked around and couldn't find a proper hiding place, only a black brazier was placed on the ground, and he only heard the outside: "In addition to the female dependents, the body should also be checked." ”

Li Ligeng immediately regretted it, he knew that he should give things to his wife......

Another family member came in and said, "The people from the yamen are coming in, please ask my uncle to go out." ”

Li Ligeng had no choice but to wait for his subordinates to go out, gritted his teeth and threw the loan coupons given to him by the eldest lady into the black pot at once, watching the silver of the white flowers turn into nothing, and his heart was as uncomfortable as a knife. My sister has hidden so much silver over the years, if she had taken it out earlier, why would it be in vain today......

Li Ligeng burned the borrowed coupons, and then opened the curtain and came out of it, and before he could see the situation outside, he heard his family come again: "Okay, okay, the official has checked everything, and the old lady's filial piety will not come in." ”

Li Ligeng's eyes widened in his heart, he turned around and returned to the back room, reached out to grab the unburned loan in the black basin, and only grabbed a corner of the pain from the fire on his fingertips
