20,000 taels, the loss of Zou Shi's exit.

Lin felt powerless even when he was angry.

Even if you sell her now, it's not worth 20,000 taels!

Seeing that the Lin clan had suddenly become so depressed, Dongling wondered, "Madam, are you uncomfortable?"

Just now, Zou dragged Lin into the room to talk, and didn't let the girls follow, so Dongling didn't know about the conversation between the two.

"It's nothing, it's just disgusted with Zou's face."

Dongling also showed a look of disgust: "She asked you for something again? According to the slaves and maids, they are a bottomless pit of dissatisfaction, no matter how much Mrs. you give, they will not be satisfied, in the future, you simply don't care about them! Anyway, we can't count on the Nanning Hou Mansion!"

Lin gritted her teeth, how could she want to ignore the Zou family!

But Zou is holding her handle in his hand!

*****

Chang Yan followed the Lin family to the Nanning Hou Mansion, although their family was loose, but Chang Yan couldn't follow up the house to listen to the Lin family and the Zou family.

However, Lin's behavior was clearly unusual.

Chang Yan left the Lin family and went to the Xuande Hou Mansion, and by the way, he looked at Changning's injuries before returning to the Wei family to explain the situation to Li Qingyi.

"When the second lady got off at the gate of the Hou Mansion in Nanning, she was pulled into the house by the Zou family and said something for a while, and when she came out, she was like she had been hit by something, she was powerless and angry, as if the chicken blood she had just beaten was pumped out again!"

"Oh?" Li Qingyi raised his eyebrows, "What did the Zou clan say that made the Lin clan have such a big reaction?"

"The slave maid thinks that the Zou family has no respect for the second lady, the eldest sister-in-law, and even the subordinates around her are showing their teeth and claws."

"In this way, the Zou clan has pinched the Lin clan."

"The slave thinks the same thing, if it weren't for someone pinching the handle, the second lady would just ignore them."

Li Qingyi pondered, "But Miaohui said that the Zou family only introduced her to the Lin family back then, and they didn't know what the Lin family was looking for Miaohui to do."

"In other words, the Lin family has other tricks, and the Zou family knows about it!"

Li Qingyi sighed, "This second lady has a lot of secrets."

Right now, on the side of the big house, the county lord of Yuanheng is trying his best to show his "maternal love", and Wei Jin'er is recuperating from his injuries in a low-key manner. The third room was busy serving the blind old lady Wei, and she didn't have time to take care of the Lin family.

If the Lin clan wants to do something, now is a perfect opportunity.

"Originally, I wanted to take advantage of Old Madam Wei's blindness to end the Lin family, but I didn't expect that she still had a surprise in her stomach, so I would leave her for some more time."

Chang Yan felt that Li Qingyi especially hated this second lady. Although I don't understand why, Li Qingyi didn't take the initiative to harm anyone in the Wei family, but just exposed the bad things they did, which can be called a "righteous act", so Chang Yan didn't have any psychological burden, "Yes, the slave must have been keeping an eye on her!"

I have to say, doing things with Miss Li is exciting and interesting, can she tell the adults that she will stay by Miss Li's side in the future, okay if she doesn't leave?

*****

Two-room Perran Courtyard.

When Zhao's mother saw Lin coming back, her whole body was frosty, hanging her head and hanging her arms, as if she was also hanging her heart.

"Ma'am! What's wrong with you?"

Lin's lips squirmed, and he couldn't speak, but he entered the house with his front foot and closed the door, and his back foot threw himself into Zhao's mother's arms and cried.

Mother Zhao was frightened and opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to comfort her, so she had to gently pat Lin's back and whisper comfortingly: "Don't be afraid, madam, no matter what happens, there must be a solution......

Lin cried for a long time before his voice weakened, and he said, "Lin Wenye told Zou what happened back then! Zou threatened me to pay off their gambling debts of 20,000 taels!"

"What?"

Rao is Zhao's mother was already prepared, and she was also taken aback by the news.

Lin Wenye is the third master of the Lin family, the younger brother of the Lin family, he is the youngest, and he is almost brought up by the elder sister of the Lin family

, the relationship between the sister and brother has always been very good, so when something like that happened to the Lin family, Lin Wenye helped the Lin family solve it.

But I never imagined that the older Lin Wenye became, the more out of tune he became, and he was hooked on gambling money!

The Lin family thought about the sister-brother relationship, and because the younger brother helped him a lot, he helped Lin Wenye fill a lot of holes, if it weren't for this, the Lin family would not have had such a poor life in the Wei Mansion.

"He helped me, but over the years, I have not helped him less, and now he actually told the Zou family who killed a thousand knives about it, and connived at her to threaten me with this!"

This is undoubtedly a betrayal for the Lin family.

Mother Zhao was obviously also very angry, "How can the third master be like this!"

Lin's angry lips turned pale and his face was sallow, "Twenty thousand taels, where can I find these twenty thousand taels!" Besides, if the hole is plugged this time, it is inevitable that there will be no next time!"

She had heard Lin Wenye promise countless times that she would not gamble again.

Believing what a gambler says is a foolish act in itself.

Mother Zhao said, "But if we don't take this silver, the Zou family will really find the Wei family."

Lin almost collapsed, "What should I do, what should I do?"

Zhao's mother gritted her teeth, "It's really not good, don't do it and keep ......."

Lin Shi was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head: "Even if you kill the Zou family, can you still kill Wenye?" When the time comes, he will have no money to repay his debts, and there is no guarantee that he will do the same thing as the Zou family."

Mother Zhao had no choice, and the master and servant fell silent for a while.

At this moment, Dongling knocked on the door and reported, "Madam, like a kite is here again! It was said that the third lady asked Ru Kite to follow her for a while......

Hearing this, the Lin clan stood up suddenly, "This Zou clan is too deceitful!"

Mother Zhao said angrily, "The old slave cleaned up this girl for Mrs."

"Wait." Lin was silent for a moment and said, "Let me think about it."

*****

There was hope for healing in her eyes, and Old Madam Wei didn't get angry like she was that day, which made the third lady Guo Shi breathe a sigh of relief.

She doesn't want to be scratched like Wei Shiyuan, ugly to death!

Waiting for Mrs. Wei to fall asleep, Guo let out a long yawn and went back to the third room.

Wei Lan'er hadn't slept yet, and was waiting for her to come back in Guo's house, while looking at the accounts of his yard.

She is also about to reach the end of her life, and she must also learn to read the account book and learn to manage the housekeeper.

Seeing Guo Shi coming back, she hurriedly got up: "Mother, you are back."

Guo was used to the absence of Wei Shiqian in the room, and when he saw his daughter, he couldn't help muttering, "It's a shame that your grandmother loves your father the most, but look at it, the most favored one in this family is often the most unfilial one!"

Mrs. Wei's eyes have been broken for a few days, and Wei Shiqian didn't go over to make a few turns, and the two brothers were all worried about other things, and they were in charge of the shopkeeper with peace of mind.

Wei Laner naturally couldn't count his father like Guo, so he could only say, "Mother is tired, my daughter will pinch your shoulder!"

Guo Shi was very useful, and temporarily forgot about Wei Shiqian, and said: "Your second aunt doesn't know what's going on this time, your grandmother used to have a headache and brain fever, and she couldn't wait to take root in Heyantang, for fear that she would appear unfilial, but this time she said that she couldn't come sick, which is really strange!".

Wei Laner said: "She is the most filial to her grandmother, but her grandmother looks down on her the most."

"Yes, the beloved is not filial, and the filial is not pleasing."

"But mother, the second aunt went out to go back to her parents' house today, and she seemed to be very unhappy, and she couldn't hide the grief and anger on her face when she came back!"

"Grief?" Guo Shi was a little curious about Wei Laner's words, "Why are you sad and angry? Not anger?"

Wei Laner was much smarter than Guo Shi imagined, and shook his head and said, "It doesn't seem as simple as being angry, I guess, is the second aunt completely breaking up with the Nanning Hou Mansion?"

Guo sneered, "The Nanning Hou Mansion is broken, what's so sad about it, if I were the Lin family, I would not get along with her pair of brothers and sisters, but instead."

Calm down!"

"Mother, you can't say that, after all, the old marquis of the Nanning Hou Mansion is still alive, and that is the father of the second aunt."

"Maybe it's because the Lin family has a request for Old Marquis Lin, and maybe it's rejected by him, or maybe the Lin family can be so sad?"

Wei Laner also felt that it made sense when he heard this, so he didn't delve into it further.

The mother and daughter talked about it again, and then went back to their rooms to rest, after all, the Guo family will go to serve the blind mother-in-law tomorrow!

*****

A few days later, the shopkeeper in Aunt Wen's shop came back and brought a lot of novelties, so she chose some good ones to give to the masters in the house as gifts.

What Li Qingyi received was a feather fan made of peacock feathers, which was very rare and exquisite, "She can be a person, but in this way, it will attract the hatred of the Lin family even more."

The Lin family is almost crazy, not to mention giving gifts to her mother-in-law's family, she can't even take care of herself, Wen Yuniang is a concubine, but she scatters gifts everywhere like a god of wealth.

Lan smiled and said, "The girls in the house don't get anything, and all the ladies have got a good skin!" The county lord has a rare white tiger skin, and the second lady and the third lady each have a fox skin, and the coat color is very beautiful."

Xianglan snorted on the side, "This Aunt Wen is really interesting, isn't it implying that the county lord is a tigress, and the second lady and the third lady are old foxes?"

Li Qingyi was also laughed at by her, "You girl, speak carefully, don't get carried away!"

"How can the slave and maid not know, and this will be said before us." Xiang Lan replied and asked Lu Wu, "What did Old Lady Wei get there?"

Lu Wu sighed, "How else to say that this Aunt Wen can be a person, and she can always send things to her heart." I heard that she specially asked people to find a few rare medicinal herbs, saying that they have miraculous effects in treating eye diseases!"

Chang Yan suddenly asked, "I'm afraid she just wants to send this, and the things she sends to others are all disguises, right?"

When the girls heard this, they all looked at Li Qingyi.

Li Qingyi said, "Even if she thinks so, it's not the most important thing. Or perhaps, she is just using such appearances to hide her true purpose. She's not stupid, why is she so high-profile to attract the Lin family's jealousy?"

The girls looked at each other, and Chang Yan said, "Yes, Wen Yuniang knew that the Lin family was about to go crazy, and she also threw a large amount of silver out, didn't she deliberately want to stimulate the Lin family?"

Li Qingyi brushed her sideburns, "Maybe, that's what she thinks......
