Chapter 237: Dispute (II)
When Mrs. Jiang heard this, she covered the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and sobbed a few times, and said, "What does my father mean by this." It's all those people's claims. To tell you the truth, I don't advocate inheriting the heir now. You have to find out the perpetrator of Brother Lang's murder before you can talk about it, right? Otherwise, wouldn't it be a joke. Fortunately, my father listened to my advice...... That's why those talents came to me for a theory. As she spoke, she glanced at Eleven Niang, "Speaking of which, I am a married daughter." I can control it for a while, but I can't control it for a lifetime. Daddy is listening to me now because of the heartache of Brother Lang's death. But in addition to being a father, Dad is also a descendant of the Wang family. In the face of righteousness, do not dare to show favoritism. Sooner or later, this inheritance will have to be done. Fortunately, our family is different from other people's families, and we still have a knighthood. What is the difference between having no heir and no heir? It is the emperor's grace to inherit the title, and who will inherit it is the royal family's own business. Fortunately, I have the family business. Otherwise, these relatives of the side branches would have fallen out long ago. ”
Eleven Niang felt that Mrs. Jiang's words sounded very harsh.
She was clearly telling herself who she cared about the most was who killed Wang Lang and asked Xu Lingyi to help bring Ren Kun to justice. Otherwise, if Mao Guogong succeeded a son under his name according to the wishes of those side branches of the Wang family, she would not care. In this way, Shi Niang became a widowed sister-in-law, and the Wang family's property not only has nothing to do with her, but also depends on the face of the future brother-in-law and sister-in-law.
During the conversation, he did not have the slightest sympathy and pity for the newly widowed brother and daughter-in-law, but used this to coerce his brother-in-law to help.
Not only unsympathetic, but also selfish.
In vain, when she came, Xu Lingyi also asked her to meet Mrs. Jiang, to see if the Wang family had anything difficult to help, so she might as well help. I also think that she exaggerates her strength - if things are really as she said, she can grasp the right to inherit the Wang family, how dare those side branches shout at her unscrupulously...... If Eleven Niang is really a little girl with no social experience, eight or nine times out of ten will be frightened by the meaning revealed in her words.
Eleven Niang couldn't help but smile coldly in her heart.
This person is not worth handing over at all, let alone entrusting Shi Niang's future to her.
It seems that this matter has to be discussed with Xu Lingyi.
Eleven Niang lowered her head and took a sip of tea, avoiding Mrs. Jiang's gaze.
Since she can hear it, the fourth grandmother can naturally hear it too. Raising her eyelids, she saw the corners of her big * pacifier slightly twitching, looking like she had something to say, and then thought of the eleventh mother in the carriage who told her that Xu Lingyi was dismissed. She was secretly anxious.
Looking at Mrs. Jiang's behavior, she is obviously extremely powerful. If the eldest * grandmother didn't know about the dismissal of Hou Ye and took the liberty of promising something, I was afraid that she would be caught by Mrs. Jiang in her hands.
If it was normal, she wouldn't be silent. Compared with Shi Niang, who never interacted with her mother's family, she felt that the smart and clever Shi Niang was more amiable.
If Xu Lingyi doesn't have the ability to help the Wang family, is it difficult for a strong man to do it?
She immediately pretended not to understand the meaning of Mrs. Jiang's words, and opened her mouth in front of the big * milk and Eleven Niang.
"It's really embarrassing for my aunt and grandmother." The fourth grandmother's tone was full of gratitude, "Our tenth aunt and grandmother have your protection, and we can rest assured." ”
The big * grandmother heard yesterday that Xu Lingyi was dismissed. Listening to Mrs. Jiang's meaning, it turned out that Xu Lingyi would not help Shi Niang if she didn't help the Wang family. She was worried that Shi Niang would take care of Shi Niang's inconvenient response, and she just wanted to pass the words, but she didn't expect the fourth grandmother to open her mouth in front of her. Fortunately, the words were quite decent, and she swallowed the words that came to her mouth.
Mrs. Jiang didn't take the two uncles and grandmothers of the Luo family in her eyes. What she cares about is the attitude of Eleven Niang. In other words, what she cares about is Xu Lingyi's attitude behind Eleven Niang. Therefore, he didn't take care of the fourth grandmother, but kept looking at Eleven Niang.
Eleven Niang looked at it and her heart moved. She simply followed the words of the fourth grandmother and continued: "My tenth sister encountered a big disaster for the first time, and she couldn't help but be in a trance. It is also a great blessing to have a shrewd person like my aunt and grandmother to help with it. When I went to pay New Year's greetings to my sister-in-law, I met your son and young lady. You are so busy with the affairs of the tenth sister that you don't have time to accompany them properly. Thinking about this, we are all very uneasy. ”
Hearing Shi Niang mention the Jiang family, Mrs. Jiang froze.
The Jiang family has been dissatisfied with what Wang Lang has done for a long time, let alone propose something to help Wang Lang get ahead. This is no secret in Yanjing. Otherwise, how could those few side branches be so impatient. But what does Eleven Niang mean by mentioning this at this time? Is it a polite refusal of his own request?
She guessed as she said, "Thank you for your concern." They have my sister-in-law to help take care of them, which is more thoughtful than I take care of myself. Makes you bothered. ”
"That's good, that's good." Eleven Niang responded and glanced at the fourth grandmother.
The fourth grandmother immediately answered: "I don't know when the funeral of the tenth aunt will be done?" We also have a preparation over there - the second uncle is in Shandong, and the third uncle is far away in Sichuan. As he spoke, he sighed, "Now we don't know what to say to the two elders. Then he muttered in a low voice, "After all, it's a lawsuit."
She was actually dissatisfied with Mrs. Jiang's negotiation of the succession.
If the Luo family didn't have the uncle of Yongping Hou, if the Luo family couldn't help at all, wouldn't Shi Niang be eaten alive by the Wang family?
The ancients thought that people who got into lawsuits were not good people.
The fourth grandmother is actually saying that Wang Lang died a disgraceful death.
Although this is the case, it can be said bluntly to the face, Mrs. Jiang is still so angry that her two flanks are in pain, and her muscles are rising.
The eldest aunt and grandmother saw that the atmosphere was not right, and came over to play a round: "These things are discussed by the masters, and we, the women, only need to listen to the arrangements of the masters." Then he called Jin Lian and the silver bottle over: "Why haven't you seen anyone else?" Your big * grandmother is now sad and sad, you have to serve well, don't think that no one is in charge of lawlessness and no rules. You are all from my side, and if you lose my face, you will waste my teaching in the past few years......" reprimanded the two at length.
Hearing this, Mrs. Jiang felt a faint pain in her chest. I always feel that there are words in the big * milk, and every sentence is prickly. I became more and more tired of these relatives of the Luo family. I also thought that if I hadn't insisted on finding a similar family and didn't marry the Luo family, but found another brother-in-law from a small family, and let Wang Lang raise her husband at home, then Wang Lang might not have gone out to Hulai, and he would not have met Ren Kun, let alone die young. I also thought that if she had married Wu Niang back then, at her age, she was afraid that she would have given birth to an heir long ago, and she would not have faced today's predicament. I won't beg around with a shy face.
The more she thought about it, the more she regretted it, and the more she regretted it, the more she felt that this family affair was not well married back then...... Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Shi Niang, who was sitting there like a mud bodhisattva, and couldn't help gritting his teeth, his chest was flustered.
What a useless thing!
The eldest * grandmother thought that Shi Niang would have to live in the Wang family in the future, and this powerful aunt and grandmother could not be offended. Seeing that the fourth grandmother offended Mrs. Jiang by speaking, she naturally wanted to come forward and make peace with the mud. The four grandmothers saw it clearly, and they were happy to sing and sing with the big * grandmother. The two of them talked about it for almost an hour, and seeing that it was not early, they got up and said goodbye under the pretext that the eldest lady was unwell and needed someone to take care of her.
Mrs. Jiang left them to eat.
It happened that there was a small servant in the front yard: "The two uncles and aunts said that they would go to the yamen for the young master's affairs, and let the two aunts and aunts take care of themselves." ”
This way you won't stay to eat.
Seeing that they insisted on leaving, Mrs. Jiang personally sent them to the door of the weeping flowers.
The fourth grandmother is still sitting in a car with Eleven Niang. On the way, she reminded Eleven Niang in a low voice: "This aunt of the Wang family is too powerful." I'm afraid that the tenth aunt and grandmother will have a hard time in the future. ”
Eleven Niang smiled indifferently: "Those side branch relatives of the Wang family are right, after all, she is a married daughter, and her identity is untenable." ”
The fourth grandmother saw that Eleven Niang understood what she meant, so she also smiled and said nothing more.
Back at Bowstring Hutong, a few people went to Luo Zhenxing's study first.
The big * grandmother told Luo Zhenxing and the others what they saw and heard in the afternoon.
Luo Zhenxing frowned when he listened. Qian Ming was the first to jump out: "Master Hou was dismissed yesterday, do you know?" ”
Except for Luo Zhensheng, everyone else looked calm.
"Yes." Luo Zhenxing said, "I heard about it in the museum yesterday. ”
"Then you can't drag Master Hou into the water for the sake of the tenth aunt and grandmother." Qian Ming's expression was solemn, "At this time, the emperor must be annoyed with the Hou Ye." Hou Ye can't avoid it, how can he stand up for this matter. As he spoke, he glanced at Eleven Niang, "Now I can only lose my pawn and protect my handsome." ”
Luo Zhenxing pondered for a moment and instructed the eldest grandmother: "Zichun and I will go with Eleven Niang to see Master Hou." If Dad asks, you say we'll stay at Wang's house for dinner. ”
Big * milk nodded and sent them out the door.
Luo Zhenxing and Qian Ming muttered all the way to Xu's house.
Xu Lingyi couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw the three of them coming together, and while asking Shi Niang to prepare some wine and food, she invited Luo Zhenxing and Qian Ming to sit down in the study in the inner courtyard.
Luo Zhenxing told Xu Lingyi about the Luo family's plans and the meaning of the Wang family.
Xu Lingyi listened quietly and didn't make a sound.
Luo Zhenxing exchanged a look with Qian Ming, and said the words that had been discussed on the road just now: "...... The Wang family is quite difficult for strongmen. What we mean is that it really can't work, so let Shi Niang take the maid and mother to live in the small village with the marriage. It's just a matter of getting a hundred taels of silver a year to subsidize her. Shi Niang can also be happy. ”
There's no way around it.
It's easy to talk when you're alive, but what if you're dead?
If the Wang family does not let Shi Niang be buried in the ancestral grave because of this, will it not be possible to provide the tablet to the Luo family ancestral hall?
To put it bluntly, Mrs. Jiang's request was all made against Xu Lingyi, and Luo Zhenxing's arrangement was also to ease Xu Lingyi's heart.
Xu Lingyi didn't understand anything.
It's just that he has an idea in his heart, and he is not very sure for a while, and he hasn't talked to Shi Niang in detail, so he doesn't understand some things, so it's not good to say it to Luo Zhenxing. Just smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"Chromophobia, too. Eat the biggest. Let's eat first. ”
Luo Zhenxing made his meaning clear, the stone in his heart also fell, he ate at Xu's house, and went out of the lotus with Qian Ming.
Xu Lingyi went back to the house.
