After Bai Mujian left, the Lu family said aggrievedly: "Husband, look at her attitude, although she is now the county lord, can she still be bigger than the sky?" We are her parents and elders, how can we be so careless? ”

Bai Shizu was irritable in his heart, sighed deeply, and then said: "What's the way, now that she is the county lord, according to the rules, even I, the father, have to give her a big gift, what else do you have to complain about!" ”

"Do you really want to give her a big gift? That's too unfilial, the county lord was also raised by his parents, can he disrespect his parents? Even when it comes to the emperor, let's take care of it! Lu Shi was not angry.

Bai Shizu shook his head, very helpless: "The county lord represents the majesty of the royal family, the title is there, disrespect to her is disrespect to the emperor, the three outlines and five constants, also with the monarch and the minister first, the father and son come later, she represents the monarch, we are the ministers!" ”

Where could the Lu family not understand this truth, but she was just unwilling, unwilling to see Bai Hibiscus in the future, she had to salute respectfully, she had to respect her all the time, hold her, and even verbally collide.

Bai Mujin had actually gotten the dowry list a long time ago, and she also knew that almost all the decorations in Lu's room were her mother's dowry, so she went to the treasury for a while, but found more things that were difficult for her to accept.

Many of the large dusty boxes in the warehouse are already empty, and the remaining ones are difficult to keep if they are not large and inconvenient to move.

Her mother's dowry is one hundred and twenty lifts, and it has only been more than three years since she married into the Bai family, and no matter how much she can spend, the Lu family is really bold enough to embezzle so much property.

"Come on, move all these big boxes out for me and dry them well!" Bai Mujian said in a calm tone, what Lu eats must be spit out.

"Master, what are you going to do?" Mama Rui asked.

Bai Mujin glanced at the empty boxes carried out by those subordinates, and said: "Of course, let her spit it out, and if she can't find it, she has to be compensated according to the price, and if she dares to touch my things, she also wants to see if she has the life!" ”

The Lu family was not idle, as soon as Bai Shizu left, she hurriedly asked someone to hand over the post to Lu Zhaoan and the Hu family, and asked the Hu family to come to the house to discuss Lu Wanqin's dowry.

Some of the dowry has been taken by her to Lu Zhaoan privately, because Lu Zhaoan needs to be taken care of in the court, those nobles can't look down on ordinary things, Lu Zhaoan, as the concubine of the Lu family, can't move many things, and he doesn't dare to move.

So he hit the idea on Lu Wanqin's dowry, how many good things there are, he is naturally clear, he thought that the Lu family had already taken the Bai Hibiscus sister and brother, so he naturally didn't worry about being pursued afterwards.

Now that Bai Mujian is being investigated, the Lu family is naturally unwilling to carry it alone, so she has to let her brother and sister-in-law come together to cover up the matter, otherwise Bai Mujian will blame him, and no one can afford it.

As soon as Lu Zhaoan and Hu got the news, they panicked, those things had been sent out, where could they find them, even if they could get them back, he Lu Zhaoan didn't dare to ask for them. The person who can let him give away those precious things will not be ordinary people?

"Husband, what should I do? Bai Hibiscus's little hooves actually came to trouble at this time, how can we cover up the past? Hu was anxious.

Lu Zhaoan slammed his fist on the table, and said angrily: "Bastard, Ning Xiang is too useless, she was forced to do this job, and she swore that Bai Mujin obeyed her, but in the past year, she has been suppressed everywhere, and she has lost my face!" ”

Hu Shi was also anxious, and asked with a bitter face: "What's the use of saying this now, Bai Mujin has been named the county lord, it is in the limelight, if she insists on pursuing it, we will also have to peel off the skin, don't you see the dilemma of the Chu County Palace?" ”

Lu Zhaoan is angry when he knows this, and the little girl who is obviously holding it in his hand can also turn over under his nose, which is simply an unforgivable mistake. He has been able to go so smoothly for so many years, thanks to the silver money that the Lu family dug up from the Bai family.

He has been in the Lu Mansion, except for his own money, that is, the monthly silver, and he is all engaged in the officialdom, and the shops and Zhuangzi under his name are not well managed, and he does not make much money, so he relies on the Lu family to send silver to him from time to time.

Originally, this was a seamless matter, and the Lu family of the Bai family did not dare to take it, it was because of the pressure of the old lady Bai, but the Bai family couldn't control Lu Wanqin's marriage, so they were relieved to boldly take advantage of it.

Bai Mujian is afraid that he will not give up, and no one will give up on anyone who is on this matter, so Lu Zhaoan is now in a hurry to think about how to calm down this matter.

"Husband, do you want to ...... Don't admit it, after all, my sister is willing to give us something, and there is no witness, and now that something has happened, we can't do it, right? Hu said timidly.

Lu Zhaoan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "Doesn't that make my brother and sister turn against each other?" How do I do this? ”

"But...... Things have come to this point, if we are also implicated, my father and mother will resent my husband, rather than both of them being implicated, it is better to ...... It's better to let my sister think of ways to make up for the past, and can't put us in, otherwise she will lose more than she gains! Hu was resolutely reluctant to put his family in it.

Although this matter is a bit unkind, but if she wants to die, she will die to others, and everyone will die together, so she is unwilling!

Lu Zhaoan thought for a while, and then said: "First prepare all the silver we can take, you personally send it to your sister, just tell her, we have tried our best to think about it, let her stabilize Bai Hibiscus first, don't implicate us otherwise the back road will be broken, our brothers and sisters will be unlucky together, but no one can save it!" ”

The Hu family was overjoyed when he heard this, knowing that Lu Zhaoan still chose to protect himself between his sister and himself, as for the silver, it was just to appease the Lu family, most of their family's silver was taken by Lu Zhaoan, and there was not much left, and she didn't care about being a favor.

So the Hu family went to the account room and took out all the silver that could be taken out, and then hurried to the Bai Mansion, only saying that he was here to visit the patient, and the people of the Bai family naturally had no suspicions.

The Lu family had already branched out Bai Shizu, and only the Lu family and the Hu family were left in the room, so the Lu family said impatiently: "Sister-in-law, you can save me, Bai Mujin began to check Lu Wanqin's dowry, you also know that my brother made a lot of her dowry in order to serve smoothly in front of the palace, and now she has checked it, how can I make up for it?" ”

If it was silver, she could handle it if she cobbled it together, after all, for so many years, she had a lot of money greedy for ink in Lu Wanqin's shops and Zhuangzi, and later she supported her own industry, and she made a lot of money. But Lu Wanqin's dowry is something that money can't easily buy, how can this cover up the past?

Hu Shi sighed deeply, took out the silver ticket in his sleeve, and said: "This is what your brother asked me to take, it is all the silver in our family, and my sister also knows that those things have been taken out, and now I can't come back, so ...... Let's see if you can make it up with silver! ”

Lu glanced at the silver tickets, a total of only six thousand taels, this is simply a drop in the bucket, even if she takes the money to buy it temporarily, what use can this little silver get?

She said angrily: "My brother and sister-in-law are going to cross the river and tear down the bridge, and abandon me?" ”

Hu Shi frowned and said unhappily: "What does my sister mean by this?" At the beginning, you were willing to give those things, we didn't force you, the things were sent out, how can you get them back, don't embarrass your brother, he can't do it! ”

Lu's face was flushed, and the matter was at a critical juncture, and her brother and sister-in-law didn't think about how to help her cover up the past, but instead pushed everything on her head and let her face it herself. Is this the brother and sister-in-law she wants to help wholeheartedly?

"Sister-in-law, you have to speak with your conscience, how can this embarrass me brother, I also know that things will not come back, but can't you think of helping my sister? must cover up the past, otherwise she is now the lord of the county, and if she is held accountable, do I want to live? Lu began to cry as he spoke.

Hu Shi looked at her, thought of Lu Zhaoan's explanation, and said: "Sister, you have always been smart, can't you think of a proper way to deceive the past?" Bai Hibiscus is just a little girl, can she still turn over your palm? ”

Lu's heart was stagnant, Bai Mujian is not as good as before, let her knead and flatten, that girl is now more refined than a ghost, how can she be easily deceived? If she doesn't know the goods, she just asks someone to buy some fake ones and put them in, but there is an old mother with vicious eyes next to her, and she can't fool them with anything!

Lu said sullenly: "That girl is not what it used to be, it's not easy to deceive." It's just that she is now the county lord, what kind of banquet do you have to hold, otherwise it would be good for me to be allowed for a while, I don't have much to give my brother, and I can think of getting it back if I have enough time, but she is chasing so urgently! ”

Hu Shi rolled his eyes and asked, "She wants to hold a banquet?" ”

"Yes, isn't it Jin who has become the county lord, so naturally she has to feast guests, otherwise how can she appear noble!" Lu's sour and sour.

Hu Shi thought about it, and deliberately lowered his voice and said: "Since you don't give much to your brother, you can't pay it back for the time being, you just need to keep her for the time being, just say that it was burned in the fire, or stolen by thieves, she asked you to compensate, you delay time, I have a way to make you worry-free!" ”

When Lu Shi heard this, she frowned slightly, she didn't believe that Hu Shi could have any good ideas, so she said, "What method?" Can you still keep Hibiscus shut up and keep her mouth shut? ”

Hu clapped his palms together and said very excitedly: "That's it, let her not mention it herself!" ”
