Chapter 40: Aunt Deng
However, from the moment Aunt Deng entered the door, her whole person was different from usual, and she was not so cold and aggressive. At this moment, he just watched the maid help Rong Xifu up, and did not get back the two slaps for her.
Xiyan chuckled lightly and said softly, "It seems that my aunt also thinks that the eldest sister should have a good snack and learn some rules." Hehe, if it's okay, I'll go first! She said and walked out the door.
"Wait a minute!" Aunt Deng finally spoke, her voice tinged with pleading.
"Auntie, what's wrong?" Xi Yan didn't look back, and asked lightly.
"You, give me some money."
Xiyan turned her head, looked at Aunt Deng's well-maintained cheeks, and said with a smile: "What did Aunt say?" My aunt is the richest. Aren't all the power of our Rong Mansion in your hands? ”
Aunt Deng looked up at Xiyan, "I, I need money now, you give me some." ”
Xiyan smiled: "Auntie said that I was joking, I never asked about the money in our Rong Mansion, where did the money come from?" Besides, my aunt seems to have made a mistake, I'm not your daughter. Your daughter is over there, you should ask her for it! She pointed with her chin at Rong Xifu, who was covering her cheeks.
"The lord and the eldest lady are dead, I am your mother, shouldn't you take money to be filial to your mother?"
Xiyan smiled again, as if he had heard a big joke, "Oh? When that aunt beat me last night, she didn't do anything like my mother...... Come, my aunt opened her eyes and looked at Chungui's cheeks, if she hadn't stopped me for me, I'm afraid I'd be the one with my swollen cheeks now! ”
Aunt Deng choked up.
Xi Yan waited for her to speak again.
"I ...... Apologize, isn't it okay? ”
"Mother, you're crazy! Why did you apologize to her? Why do you suddenly need money? How much do you need, I have three thousand taels over there......" Rong Xifu hurriedly got up and grabbed Aunt Deng, who was three or four low.
"Don't interject." Aunt Deng reprimanded her, then continued to look at Xiyan and said, "I apologize to you." I promise I will never hit you again in the future. The more she spoke, the more excited she became, and suddenly grabbed Xiyan's cuffs, her eyes full of pleading, "You must give it to me." Otherwise, I'll be beaten to death! ”
Xiyan shook her off and stood in place, her heart went up and down, she couldn't stand the pleading of others the most.
only listened to Aunt Deng and continued, "After the master left, the scenery of Rongfu is no longer ...... I didn't want to see the Rong Mansion fall, so I took the money from the Rong Mansion and went out to do some business. However, I lost money at the beginning, and I had to let Chung Yue continue to ask Steward Wang for money. But the money was also lost, and I didn't want to bow my head to you, so I borrowed it......" She said and didn't dare to look at Xiyan's eyes anymore, and said in a low voice, "I want to have Chun Yue as my backer, and those people don't dare to do anything to me?" But now ....... I didn't have the money to pay back the high interest, so they only gave me three days! I beg you, please lend it to me! ”
Aunt Deng borrowed the so-called usury in modern times, and the corners of Xiyan's mouth were cold, "How much does Aunt want?" ”
"Eighty thousand taels."
What kind of business can need so much money, Xi Yan looked like she didn't believe her words, "Hehe...... I didn't. She said it very simply.
"Rong Xiyan, you can't see death without help, if the master is here, he won't ignore me."
"Really? So, are they really going to kill you? ”
"Rong Xiyan, what are you talking about?" Rong Xifu rushed over, pushed Xiyan away, and grabbed Aunt Deng, "Mother, why do you owe so much!" What the hell are you doing, why didn't I know you were in business? ”
Aunt Deng pushed Rong Xifu away, continued to look at Xiyan and said, "If I can't pay back so much money, they will chop off my hand!" I don't want to be without hands, Xiyan, you save me! ”
When Xiyan saw Aunt Deng like this, she suddenly couldn't say anything in her heart, "Do you dare to guarantee that you won't have a next time?" ”
"I swear I swear, I'll never ask you to borrow money again, no, not that kind of money!"
"Good. Let's talk about this later. Xiyan said, "I'm not free now, let's talk about it when I finish running errands when I leave the house." ”
Aunt Deng hurriedly grabbed her, "How long will it take?" Xiyan, I know that you are a kind and good girl, you can't help me, I can only rely on you now, for the sake of Chun Yue's death for you, you have to save me! She breathed uninterrupted, as if she had her back on her back.
Xi Yan shook her off and walked forward quickly.
"Ah, Xiyan, you can't help me......" Aunt Deng's cry continued to be heard.
Walking out of the Rong Mansion, Xiyan asked the spring return beside him, "How much savings do I have there now?" ”
Chungui said a number.
Xiyan nodded, "Raise 30,000 first." Tell Aunt Deng that this is all my property. ”
"Girl, are you really going to give it to Aunt Deng?"
"I can't die without help, I believe that if my father was here, he would not let Aunt Deng die. I gave her a handout. Don't worry, I know what to expect. ”
Chungui glanced at Xiyan and didn't understand what she meant? Follow Xiyan and walk briskly towards the Yanliu River.
"I don't know if Xia Yue is there? She won't take care of herself, where can this disappearance go? Chungui and Xia Yue grew up together, although they have two personalities, they get along well, and she also loves the heartless Xia Yue.
"It's going to be fine." Xiyan didn't know the bottom in his heart.
"Girl, why have there been so many accidents around us since the death of my master? One after another, inside and out, you can't live in peace? ”
Hehe, Xiyan laughed softly.
God is testing me, and he will give me a reborn life, which must depend on whether I have the ability to accept it, not afraid, I am not afraid of anything now.
Those who have died once, what is there to fear? What's more, the people around me are still there in this life, which is a great gift.
She patted Chungui's hand and comforted, "It's okay, the truth will be revealed, and when the truth is revealed, everything will be fine." ”
They have not been here for more than ten days, the catkins by the Yanliu River are flying, there are a lot of lotus flowers in the river, they walked along the river for a short distance, and then turned into a deep alley, and finally stopped at the door of a small house.
The peach petals on the ground are scattered all over the ground, but they are very clean.
Xiyan was very nervous, and cautiously looked back and again, making sure that no one was following, so he knocked on the door.
"Anyone?"
There was no movement inside.
"Wow stool...... she buttoned again, "it's me, Xiyan." ”
There was a sound of footsteps inside, and then the door was opened, and the person who opened the door was Du Liang.
When Xiyan saw him, his eyes immediately moistened, but there was joy in his voice, "Cousin, is it really you?" Are they all here, cousins? ”
Du Liang's eyes glanced behind Xi Yan and stepped out of the way, "Come in." ”
