A large group of people gathered around the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites, they all pointed at Xi Dianguo, and Aunt Zhao, who was kneeling on the ground, also looked at him with a begging face, and finally even kowtowed.

"Master, please return the dowry of the concubine to me, please." Today, she will be ruined in the palace country! This sanctimonious hypocrite killed his own daughter and drove his wife who had been with him for many years out of the house with a letter of resignation.

Such animals are not worthy to live in the world!

The thin body trembled slightly, Aunt Zhao watched Xi Dianguo roll her eyes angrily, and then he raised his palm and wanted to say something, but Aunt Zhao took the opportunity to fall backwards to the ground, covering her face with one hand, supporting the ground with the other, and quickly retreating.

"Sir, I was wrong, don't hit me again."

Rumble!

When the words fell, the surrounding atmosphere became strange again, and now everyone looked at Xi Dianguo's eyes not only with disdain, but also with anger.

The dignified etiquette department is still a book, and the gold and jade are ruined on the outside, looking at him like a dog, it turns out that he has started to beat women at home.

"Bah, you shameless villain, it's just a matter of being greedy for ink and silver, and you dare to abuse your wife, you are not worthy of being an official!"

"That's right, Xi Shangshu has a bad character, Master Cui, you must strictly investigate it."

"By the way, check the accounts of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites over the years, he even dares to be greedy for his wife's dowry, let alone ......

There was a thick reverie in the unfinished words, that is, Xi Dianguo could endure it again, and now it finally broke out, "What nonsense are you talking about, this official is dedicated to the people, honest and fair, how can he swallow up the dowry of an aunt."

It's really annoying to him, Aunt Zhao is ***, after today, he wants her to die without a place to be buried.

A pair of slightly cloudy eyes with a little murderous intent and gloom, Xi Dianguo's fingers hanging by his side were clenched tightly, condescendingly, and staring at Aunt Zhao in an unkind tone.

"Do you know what happens to framing the imperial court, I advise you to think clearly before you speak."

Turning her head sideways and crying silently, Aunt Zhao took a hard breath and looked at Xi Dianguo with sad eyes.

"Does the lord really want the concubine to tell everything? The lord's fortune is not even enough to maintain the expenses of the mansion, and over the years, the concubine has used her dowry and silver to supplement the mansion and make up for the lord's career, even if there is no merit and hard work, why should the lord humiliate me so much." ap.

Aunt Zhao raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and as her wrists rose, the sleeves slowly fell, revealing her forearms full of scars.

"The concubine knows that the master is afraid that Chu Yu will affect your career, so he drove the concubine out of the house, the concubine has no skills, so she can only grab food with them in the beggar's nest, if it is not for the concubine body to survive, she will not come to the door to ask for a dowry."

"If the lord doesn't believe it, you can check the accounts of the mansion over the years, and every expense and concubine body are clearly recorded.

The voice was tactful, and the words were crying blood, and Aunt Zhao almost pointed at the tip of Xi Dianguo's nose and scolded him for being incompetent.

There was a sudden darkness in front of him, Xi Dianguo's figure staggered a few times, thanks to the housekeeper behind him, he quickly helped him, "What are you talking nonsense, the light-faced mother left a large dowry, isn't that silver also in your hands!"

Don't think that he doesn't know what Aunt Zhao did with that amount of silver, Xi Chuyu can live so comfortably, jewelry and clothing are the top in Beijing, with Aunt Zhao's dowry, how can he afford it.

As if she was exhausted, Aunt Zhao slumped to the ground, she covered her chest with regret, and looked up to the sky and burst into tears.

"Didn't the lord think about that money? Every time you go out to spend all your days drinking and providing for the mother and son, isn't it a silver tael from the dowry of the first lady?"

It's all half a catty and eight taels, who is more noble than whom? Xi Dianguo thought that she could step her into the mud by virtue of her high position, but if she didn't, she would die, and she would also pull Xi Dianguo to be buried together.

And this person is really stupid and doesn't know it, the more he says, the more he can prove that what Aunt Zhao said is the truth, not to mention that dowry, she has already returned it to Xi Qingyan in various ways, that is, she is in court with Xi Dianguo

, she is not false at all.

"It's useless to talk too much, the concubine knows that people are soft-spoken, and she asks Master Cui to be the master of the concubine."

Cui Jian, who was watching the play on the sidelines and was amazed, finally came back to his senses, he put his fist to his lips with one hand and coughed, and took a piece of complaint from the hand of the official behind him.

"This case will be opened in three days, in view of the fact that Lord Xi is an official of the imperial court, he only needs to be present on time, if Lord Xi does not follow the rules, then don't blame the official for personally bringing someone to the door."

His tone was neither humble nor arrogant, he had a completely businesslike attitude, that is, what Xi Dianguo wanted to say, he couldn't open his mouth in this situation.

In the end, he could only flick his sleeves in anger, turn his head sideways, and make a look of reluctance to be with them, "Listen to them."

Three days is enough, he will ask the housekeeper to rearrange the accounts, and then what evidence will Aunt Zhao have against him, even a common man dares to fight with him, and he simply doesn't know whether he is alive or dead.

"In this case, Aunt Zhao will go to Kyoto Prefecture Yin with the official, and there is one more matter, I hope that Lord Xi will hand over the accounts to the official now, so that the official can search and collect evidence."

He really didn't save him any face, didn't he forget that he was the future lord of the country, and if he offended him now, what good fruit could he eat in the future?

Almost gritting a mouthful of silver teeth, Xi Dianguo moved the corners of his lips, and a voice floated out, "Are you sure Lord Cui is going to be so decisive?"

If Cui Jian lets him go today, he will definitely repay him in the future.

However, it backfired, and I saw Cui Jian take a few steps back in disgust, and then said in a deep voice: "I hope that my lord will be cautious, this official has always been honest and honest, and will never accept bribes privately."

Xi Dianguo: "......" is crazy, these people are crazy, can't they see his potential in the future? Will the Attendance Mansion be one of the best families in the future?

His face was completely dark, and in the cursing voices of the surrounding people and Cui Jian's mocking gaze, Xi Dianguo finally couldn't hold it anymore, and his eyes rolled and he fainted.

"Ouch, don't do anything bad, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, Lord Xi must hold on."

pretended to want to step forward to help him, but Cui Jian deliberately took a step behind, and even pretended to accidentally bump into the housekeeper, and the two watched Xu Jianguo's head hit the ground and fainted.

"Ouch, Lord Ben is getting older, and this leg and foot are a little inflexible, thank you for helping Lord Ben."

The bewildered butler: "...... Master, listen to my explanation, Master Cui framed him."

Shi Shiran flicked the dust that did not exist on the sleeves of his shirt, Cui Jian looked at the housekeeper with the appearance of a dead father, and carried Xi Dianguo in with a sad face, and then closed the door of Shangshu Mansion.

"Okay, the show is over, and in three days, I invite everyone to come to Kyoto Prefecture Yin to testify for Aunt Zhao."

In the midst of the people's sycophants, Cui Jian took Aunt Zhao away, and the mood was very wonderful.

Hanryin Temple

Holding a piece of watermelon in his hand, Xi Qingyan listened to it with relish, his eyes were shining, and he looked particularly cute.

"Fainted? Still not awake?" With Xi Dianguo's psychological endurance, it shouldn't be so fragile, it seems that Cui Jian is also a wonderful person.

However, I am afraid that there is also a long-cherished handiwork in this, otherwise Jingzhao Mansion Yin would not dare to come to the door to testify, and Xi Dianguo's face can be said to be lost.

Curled the corners of his mouth in a good mood, Xi Qingyan grabbed another handful of melon seeds, and the spring peach cow on the side drank a large glass of water, and then continued to describe in a colorful voice:

"Miss, haven't you seen the miserable appearance of the old man with your own eyes, he fell to the ground hard, and his face was broken."

With a little schadenfreude in his tone, Chun Tao bowed to the Buddha again and again in his heart, and was extremely grateful to him for letting Xi Dianguo suffer retribution.

"Oh, if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, and his good days are yet to come."

With Cui Jian's style, in three days, he will definitely make this matter known to everyone. If Xi Dianguo wants to pretend to be sick and hide in the mansion, I'm afraid that Su Lixiao will have to be there in person.

"Chun Tao, do you want to leave Shangshu Mansion?" Hold with one hand

With her chin in her head, Xi looked at Chun Tao with a smile and rubbed her head funny.

The little girl looked stunned, opened her lips, and finally jumped on the spot excitedly, "Really, Miss? Can we get out of here?"

Except for Mrs. Xian, everyone in the mansion has bullied Xi Qingyan to a greater or lesser extent, and it would be better if they could leave here.

"I'll give you a mission to pack your bags, but this needs to be done in secret, so don't let that person know." Xi Qingyan glanced at Xi Ming'an's direction meaningfully.

"Yes, miss, don't worry." Chun Tao rushed out in a hurry, Xi chuckled lightly, not caring much, but it didn't take long to see the butler rush in in a hurry.

"Miss, there's something bad on the master's side, please go and have a look."

Every time he faced Xi Qingyan, the housekeeper was always a little nervous, he relied on Xi Qingyan at that time to be young and unfavored, and he secretly bullied her.

Now that this person has flown up the branches to be a phoenix, there is not a day when the housekeeper is not worried that he will be turned over old accounts, and at that time, he will not be enough to die even if he has ten lives.

Looking at his dog-legged appearance, Xi sneered lightly, then put down the medical book and stood up, and slowly walked out.

"How many years has the housekeeper been in the house?"

"Miss Hui, it's been more than 20 years."

With a slight nod, Xi Qingyan casually broke off a dead branch, and said meaningfully: "There are flowers that can be broken straight and must be broken, don't wait for no flowers to break the branches, the housekeeper is a smart person, he should know how to choose, right?"

Swallowing his saliva, the housekeeper nervously wiped the cold sweat on his head and smiled wryly, "Miss said yes."

Perhaps, he should choose a new master for himself?
