Chapter 239: A Great Tribulation is Coming
Mu Xinping also nodded, if someone tricked Bai Shizu, the old lady would not sit idly by, she had to settle the matter together, without children by her side, how much difference could she have between a flat wife and a concubine. Others shouted at her second lady in front of her, but she didn't know how to look down on herself!
Although the Lu family is a concubine, but the Lu family is high, but although she is a scholarly family, her family is in the middle of the road, and her parents are dead, if it weren't for the old lady still supporting her, she would have been cooked by the Lu family.
Thinking of this, she hated the Lu family even more, she had both children and daughters, and she had brothers to help her, and she held great power, and she had swallowed so much silver in the past ten years, which was simply a good thing she could never have dreamed of.
It's a pity that she is too stupid and too unscrupulous, if she can be a little more restrained, not so excessive, no matter how powerful Bai Hibiscus is, she can't find out.
Even if it is found out, it will be easy to settle down, where will it be like now, 450,000 taels of silver will be taken out at once, this is simply a huge number that I can't even imagine! Mu Xinping thought silently in her heart, if she built all this silver, could she build it as high as a mountain?
I feel dazzled when I think about it, it's all white silver! Now she is a little envious, she can only hate herself for being born a few years late, if she could become Bai Shizu's stepfamily earlier, she would not be as greedy as the Lu family, she would have made a little bit of it, and now she will have no worries!
It's a pity that Mu Xinping didn't do that part, if she was like the Lu family, she could handle a pair of children so well in her early years, she would inevitably feel that the Bai family was her own world, and she would naturally dare to get money unscrupulously.
Mu Xinping said goodbye to Bai Hibiscus with a heavy heart, thinking only about how to talk to the old lady about these things.
The light in Bai Mujian's eyes flashed away, and this Mu Xinping's heart is getting bigger and bigger now, but it's not a bad thing, someone has to make something happen before the Bai family can be lively!
Mama Rui saw her leave, and then said, "The master is not afraid of cultivating another Lu clan?" ”
"So what? There are still too few people in this mansion, how lonely it is, how about you look at Yingqiu next to the Lu family? Bai Mu Hibiscus asked suddenly.
Mama Rui naturally understood what she meant, and said with a smile: "That girl is quiet on weekdays, but she is very scheming, but she ...... She seems to be very loyal to the Lu family! ”
Bai Mu Hibiscus shook his head and said: "What kind of master there is, what kind of slave there is, the Lu family only has interests in their eyes, and the slaves cultivated are bound to be profitable." If I see it well, then Yingqiu seems to have admired her father for a long time, do you think I should fulfill her? ”
Mama Rui smiled clearly, and then said: "It's a good idea to kill two birds with one stone, which can not only break the friendship between their master and servant, but also distract the energy of the grandfather, and if there are more women, naturally they won't pay too much attention to one of them!" ”
Mama Rui, who is in the harem, naturally understands this truth, he can't remember the emperor's many women, if you don't work hard, I can't say that I still spoil you like a jewel today, and Ming'er will forget what you look like!
That Bai Shizu has a deep affection for the Lu family over the years, and it is not because he is accompanied by such a woman by his side, if the backyard is lively, it is not certain how much weight the Lu family can have.
Bai Mu Hibiscus nodded, and continued, "What's wrong with you looking at my father?" ”
Mama Rui shook her head and said, "I can't see it on my face, but I ...... Mu Xinping's words do have some truth, the Lu family has been a pet for so many years, and there has been no movement, if it is not for the Lu family's body problem, it must be the country's grandfather has a problem with the body! ”
"It's okay, there are more people who are nervous about this matter, let's just watch!" Bai Mu Hibiscus smiled, not paying much attention. Anyway, no matter who has a child, they will never be of the same mind as their siblings.
Since Bai Mujian gave the Lu family a deadline for repaying the silver, but Bai Shizu failed to persuade Bai Mujian, the Lu family fell into a state of madness.
Although she has a wound on her head, she still beats and scolds the people around her every day, no matter what a few close girls do, it is not to her liking.
Yingqiu won Lu's heart the most on weekdays, and now she has become the biggest punching bag, and she is slapped at every turn, and most of the injuries on Lu's head have healed, and the strength to beat people is getting bigger and bigger.
"Why is this medicine so bitter, how can people drink it?" Lu threw it on Yingqiu's body with a snap, although the medicine was not hot, but this spring day was warm, and there were not many clothes to wear, and it was directly poured on her body, which still made Yingqiu feel pain.
But she didn't dare to complain, she couldn't even say a word, she only endured the pain silently, cleaned up the fragments, and persuaded with kind words: "Madam, you better take care of your body earlier, so that you can fight with Bai Mu Hibiscus, the medicine is bitter, how can you be good if you don't drink your body?" ”
"What do I want this good body for? I'm going to have nothing, and I'm going to have to take on a debt, 450,000 taels, do you think it's 45 taels? Lu was so angry that he almost went crazy, and the thought of 450,000 taels was circulating in his mind every day, and he didn't even stop dreaming.
She also wanted to cheat, but Bai Hibiscus released such words, if she really dared not to pay it back, she was also afraid that Bai Hibiscus would take two children under the knife, even if she had no heart or liver, she couldn't let any of her children be killed. Besides, she did so much, not for the sake of two children!
Yingqiu restrained the bitterness in her heart, and said softly: "Madam, you might as well go and discuss with the second uncle and grandmother, and see if the second uncle can think of something for you to make up, you have not been less subsidized over the years, and now that the matter is coming, you should always reach out to help you!" ”
The Lu family was even more irritable when she thought of this, the Hu family was so stingy that they brought six thousand taels, and said that they had all the silver in their own house, so she didn't believe it, she gave them ten thousand taels not long ago, didn't their own shop Zhuangzi have no income at all?
Thinking of this, the Lu family couldn't sleep anymore, and hurriedly said: "Hurry up and re-boil the medicine for me, I want to take care of my body and go to the Lu family in person, I don't believe that the second brother is so ruthless, he even ignores me, my twin sister!" ”
She and Lu Zhaoan are also twins, Lu Zhaoan was born only half an hour earlier than her, so the affection is more intimate than ordinary brothers and sisters. She has helped Lu Zhaoan without asking for anything in return over the years, not only hoping that she can have a stable backer, but also hoping that her second brother can get ahead and no longer be angry with her mother and brother-in-law.
Now that she is watching her second brother's official road getting wider and wider, she also feels that her efforts are worth it, but now that she is in trouble, the second brother can't turn his face and be ruthless, right? She just went to pay the money, and in the future, when the Bai family is completely controlled by her, she will not treat her brother badly!
The Bai family's industry is also not small, although there is no power over the years, but the old lady was shrewd in the early years and bought a lot of properties, so the Bai family's family background is still very strong, which is not a secret to her, who has been taking care of the Bai family's industry all these years.
If Bai Shizu can persuade the old lady to agree, although it is a little difficult to get 450,000 taels, he can also get 200,000 taels, and then sell some shops and Zhuangzi by himself, if the second brother can stretch out his hand, he will always be able to make up enough!
How did Bai Mu Hibiscus take it away from her, she will also think of taking it back in the future, but it is just to make her proud for the time being, and when she thinks of Hu's plan, she wants to get better sooner.
Yingqiu got the order, and hurriedly went down again to bring the medicine, Lu didn't lose his temper this time, and drank it in one sip, Yingqiu also quickly handed over the candied fruit and asked her to go to the crying taste in her mouth.
Only then did Lu Shi say appreciatively: "This is clever, did you hurt you just now?" ”
Yingqiu hurriedly shook her head and said, "It's okay, the slave knows that the lady is angry, and it's not aimed at the slave!" ”
Lu nodded with satisfaction, feeling that Yingqiu was really his confidant, and it was not in vain that she trusted and cultivated Yingqiu so much, so he said: "You go down and change your clothes, just let Nuan Dong come in and serve me, these days have been hard for you!" ”
Yingqiu went down after thanking her, but she felt more and more uneasy in her heart, every time the Lu family was angry with Bai Mujian, she would sprinkle it on these slaves and maids. The closer you are, the more you suffer and suffer, and if you give some comfort afterwards, can you afford the sins you suffered before?
But they can't do it, as slaves and maids, even their lives are in the hands of their masters, and they have to endure some grievances silently? After going to explain to Nuan Dong, the two exchanged a bitter look and walked away.
Before entering the courtyard, she ran into Caiping, a second-class girl who was originally serving Bai Shizu in Fulu Yuan, she saw that Yingqiu was embarrassed, and asked with concern: "Is Madam losing her temper again?" ”
"It's none of your business, don't mention it to your grandfather, you know?" Yingqiu said very unhappily.
Caiping hurriedly covered her mouth and shook her head, Yingqiu was amused by her appearance, and said: "Okay, I didn't mean to scare you, it's just that Mrs. has been wronged, and she has a bigger temper, so we have to be considerate as subordinates!" ”
Caiping put down her hand and said with a smile: "Sister Yingqiu, you are really good-natured, virtuous and considerate, but ...... You're twenty now, aren't you? Why didn't Madame match you with a good man? With a look and temperament like my sister, it's also condescending to be a big steward! ”
"You girl, why are you not ashamed? How old are you, what do you know? Although she said so, Yingqiu's heart was bitterly tight, a twenty-year-old girl, an ordinary girl should talk about marriage at the age of fifteen, but she can't control her own fate.
And she didn't plan to ration anything in charge, in her opinion, those rough people are not as good as one of Bai Shizu's toes, although Bai Shizu is in his early thirties, but he is very handsome, and he is still a grandfather of the country, and he is a concubine, which is thousands of times better than being a housekeeper.
But Mrs. is a jealous person, where does she dare to move her mind, she can only suppress this affection in her heart, and never dare to expose it, otherwise the Lu family will not allow her.
Caiping looked at Yingqiu and muttered, "Why don't I understand, I'm fifteen years old, and my grandfather said a few days ago that he would give me a capable boy next year, hehe......"
