Chapter 47: Trouble
Lian Fuhai's private gunpowder case was handled very quickly by Tianfu, and the verdict was issued two days later:
Lian Fuhai and his wife were sentenced to exile and their property was confiscated. The Lian clan was repatriated to their hometown.
Aunt Yu reported the news to the Lian family, she was sitting on weekdays and looking at the account book after checking the book, and after hearing this, she didn't move for a long time.
After being silent for a long time, she said lightly: "This is the best result!" It seems that handing over all the evidence to Zhou Shaoyang is the right bet! Lian's voice was hoarse.
Aunt Yu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Don't, madam."
Lian waved his hand: "Don't worry, I won't fall." I still have a lot to do! It's a pity that I didn't get the money in advance."
Aunt Yu said: "Actually, we may not be able to cover the money."
Lian suddenly threw out the ledger in his hand. Her eyes widened with rage, showing anger like never before. He said sharply: "That's all the money of the family!
Aunt Yu was angry when she saw the always good-tempered Lian, thinking that she was reluctant to connect the family business. Hurriedly persuaded: "Madam, you are a married daughter. Don't get involved."
Lian Shi was deflated again, leaning on Huang Huali's circle chair.
Yes, she is the daughter of a marriage. More than ten years ago, it was not even a family!
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Then he stood up and paced around the room.
She said, "Go and prepare the silver, and make them go up and down, and don't make them suffer too much."
"Those two children will stay in the capital, and going back to Qingzhou with them is also a family of sinners."
In this way, he instructed his aunt in detail about the affairs of the family. As she was talking, a little girl came to report that Mrs. Nie was coming.
When Lian heard this, he was so angry that he gritted his silver teeth, and Aunt Yu hurriedly persuaded: "Mrs. is angry, Zuo is just here to ask you for some silver." You said that you spent all the money, and then you can get one or two hundred taels with her at will, in exchange for a moment of purity!"
Lian said fiercely: "Do you think she will be satisfied? I guess she is now in trouble with my Lian family, and she wants to demolish my house." I'm not going to give her a single one!"
Lian's face to Mrs. Nie has always been just a word for 'forbearance'. But at that time, she still had the Lian family to make hole cards, and the Jiang family could suppress Mrs. Nie, so at that time, Mrs. Nie would not go too far, and she was willing to endure it for a while and try to be quiet.
Now she has no way to retreat, if her attitude is softer. I'm afraid that Old Lady Nie can't wait to take everything she has for herself, and finally force her to death again!
Lian said: "Go and invite her to the living room, and then call Brother An'er over."
After Lian's order was like this, because his aunt was waiting for him to freshen up a little, he cheered up and led Brother An over. By the way, I told Aunt Yu to call a few fierce-looking mothers-in-law to follow.
――――――――――――――――――
In the main hall of hospitality in Xifu, Old Lady Nie sat in the main seat with a calm face. A little girl offered tea and withdrew.
Nie Xiaofan sat down, with Liu Yu and Mama Jiang behind her. The two were silent. Nie Xiaofan has been tired in the past few days, and he only learned that something had happened to the Lian family early this morning. She was about to come to visit, but it happened that Mrs. Nie was also coming, and Nie Xiaofan knew that she was fine, so she followed her to Xifu. In case Old Lady Nie is embarrassed by Lian's family, she can also talk in the middle.
Nie Xiaofan took a sip of the tea in his hand, hoping to refresh himself. The tea smelled fragrant and rich, and it was very sweet and delicious to drink, but it was slightly dry in the throat, making people more and more unstoppable, and Nie Xiaofan actually ate a few bites in a row.
She doesn't understand tea, and the only memory of tea is the original owner's. But this tea has not even been drunk by the original owner. The visible is excellent.
Just thinking about it, I heard Mrs. Nie say angrily: "Lian's is so pompous, I want to wait for her as a mother-in-law." ”
Nie Xiaofan said: "If something happened to my aunt's family, didn't my grandmother understand?"
Old Lady Nie glared at Nie Xiaofan, who sat quietly and unmoved. Old Madam Nie didn't say anything more after all.
As soon as he said such a sentence, he heard Lian's voice sound: "The daughter-in-law is late and has not greeted her mother." I've been waiting for you. ”
Lian walked in calmly and calmly, and saluted Mrs. Nie calmly. Lian was followed by Nie Xiao'an, who looked angry.
Nie Xiaofan got up and gave Lian a blessing: "Auntie is good, Brother An is good." "Nie Xiaoan is the same age as her, and she is a month older.
Lian obviously didn't expect Nie Xiaofan to come, Xu was interrupted by her just now when the little girl was about to report. She looked at Nie Xiaofan, and Nie Xiaofan smiled.
The two of them knew it and sat down separately. Old Lady Nie looked at her and didn't take her as an elder in her eyes. Immediately there was anger. She scolded: "Lian, shall I allow you to sit?"
Lian Shi remained silent and replied: "My daughter-in-law has been sad and haggard because of her mother's affairs in recent days. I also ask the old lady to be considerate. Having said that, Ke Lian was in good spirits, neither humble nor arrogant. There is no need to be soft at all.
Old Madam Nie has never been a good-natured person, but she is unwilling to care about Lian's faux pas at this time. She said, "You are a woman, this happened. What can I do? I can't help but beg the boss to do a thing or two for your family!"
Did you follow her words? Lian smiled sarcastically in his heart. Old Lady Nie is not such a kind person.
Nie Xiaofan said: "Grandmother always loves to worry, and even the things committed by the eldest uncle have been over?" Lian also said: "Thank you for the old lady's trouble, but this is over." No need for any more energy!"
The two sang and harmonized. Old Mrs. Nie was so angry that her face wrinkled, and she said, "Although this matter is over, your brother and sister-in-law were sentenced to exile." Won't you take care of them? Are you so cruel that you want them to suffer at the hands of officials?"
Lian smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your trouble." I've got it all figured out. ”
Old Mrs. Nie slapped the coffee table and shook the teacup on it: "You are a widow, and you actually go to deal with officials privately. Such a disobedience to women's morals. I'll go back and ask the old lady to call the shots. I've divorced you for the second child!"
Old Mrs. Nie was about to leave, but Nie Xiaoan stood up, blocked Old Mrs. Nie's way, and said, "I went to do something for my uncle, and it has nothing to do with my mother!"
Old Mrs. Nie didn't expect Nie Xiao'an to dare to disobey her, and pointed at the Lian family and scolded: "Okay! You poisonous woman, you actually instigated Brother An to disobey her grandmother, our Nie family will never tolerate you! I will expel you from the house today and throw the Lian family out to me!" Old Mrs. Nie also brought a few mothers-in-law today, but now she has been brought by Aunt Yu to entertain her. How can you call it now?
Lian Shi smiled and said, "Didn't the old lady expel me from the house a long time ago?
Old Mrs. Nie was angry, and she couldn't find the words to refute it for a while. Lian indifferently took a sip of West Lake Longjing. And he said, "I heard a joke in the past two days. It is better for the old lady to sit quietly first. I'll tell you?"
Nie Xiaofan motioned to Mama Jiang, and helped Mrs. Nie back to the main seat with her. Lian put down the teacup and said, "I heard that the major gambling houses in Beijing have opened gambling games now. The pressure is when you come to me for trouble. It is said that most of the people are pressed today!"
