Chapter 331: Entrustment
After listening to the cause and effect, Lin Mao glanced at the Cao family sitting next to him, and asked, "The princess is in charge of the middle feed, how should this matter be handled?" ”
Cao's palms tightened, although Lin Mao was asking her opinion, but his tone was not very friendly.
She is in charge of the feed, these people originally looked at her as the meaning of the housemother, so they secretly squeezed Yang Mu, if she can't keep these people, then the prestige of her housemother will be discounted.
Cao Shi squeezed out a smile and said, "Servants fight and fight, according to the rules of the palace, it is thirty boards per person. It's just that...... The princess only got married yesterday, so we can't blame her companion for marrying, but the superior is not good at favoring one side......"
Lin Mao endured his anger and stared at Cao's eyes tightly, waiting for her next step.
Cao Shi slowed down before saying, "Why don't you deduct three months' monthly silver?" ”
Lin Mao snorted coldly from his nose and said, "What an impartial princess!" What if the people of Chengqi Courtyard are lazy and slack, and do not respect their masters? ”
Cao Shi groaned slightly, and said, "Lord Wang, a slap can't make a sound!" ”
Lin Mao didn't expect that in front of him, the Cao family could protect his shortcomings with such righteous words, and the anger in his eyes was no longer hidden.
He waved his hand and said, "All the people of the Dingwang Mansion who participated in the brawl in Chengqi Courtyard will be expelled from Chengqi Courtyard with thirty boards each, and they will be assigned another place by Steward Feng!" The princess and concubine have merit in marrying and protecting the lord, and each of them will be rewarded with three months of monthly money! ”
Cao Shi couldn't hold back, stood up and exclaimed: "Lord Wang! ”
This is tantamount to slapping her in the face of the housemother!
Lin Qiuchen also stood up in surprise and said hurriedly: "Father! It's so close to saying the phrase, "You're old fool!" ”
Lin Mao's tone was non-negotiable, and he directly gave an order to Steward Feng.
Steward Feng immediately responded, and secretly sighed in his heart that the princess was too impatient, and wanted to suppress the princess's daughter-in-law early, but it backfired and touched the prince's scales.
Lin Mao ignored the angry Cao mother and daughter, turned his head to look at Yang Mu, and asked, "Daughter-in-law thinks that it is appropriate to deal with it like this?" ”
Where is Yang Mu still dissatisfied? Nodding his head, he said, "Father is fair." ”
Lin Mao soothed: "Daughter-in-law, don't worry, I have already asked Mr. Ming to investigate the futon matter, but I am afraid that there will be news soon." ”
Lin Mao said this, and Yang Mu didn't make trouble.
After Lin Mao left, the original servants of Chengqi Yuan were also taken away to beat the board.
Yang Mu ordered him to select some of the people from the Yang family to marry into Chengqi Courtyard.
When he returned to the second courtyard, Lin Xiao looked at Yang Mu with a smile and said, "The lady's acting skills are much better than that of her husband." ”
The image of a crying, making trouble and hanging himself is vividly portrayed.
Yang Mu knew that Lin Xiao was teasing her, and said helplessly: "There are too many things, those eyeliners can't be pulled out slowly, so they can only cut through the mess quickly." ”
Some methods, even if they are a little tough, can only be done so.
Lin Xiao poured her a cup of tea and asked, "Too many things?" ”
Yang Mu raised his eyes to look at him while drinking tea, and asked, "Do you know that before I got married, I went to the palace once?" ”
Lin Xiao nodded and said, "I've seen the Empress Dowager and Concubine Shu." ”
Yang Mu turned his head to look at Daishan, who understood and retreated with the maids.
Yang Mu waited for only two people in the room before saying, "The Empress Dowager entrusted me with one thing. ”
Then, she told the Empress Dowager that she did not believe that the princess died in childbirth, and asked her to investigate.
Lin Xiao was silent for a long time before he sighed lightly and said, "Mu Mu, this matter is a long time ago. When I became an adult, I also investigated, but I didn't even find a trace. ”
Yang Mu asked: "I remember you said, you have a nurse?" Why didn't you see it? ”
According to the rules of the family, the nurses of the young masters will take on the management of the yard after the young master grows up, and she will be a relatively detached existence in the entire yard.
But since she got married yesterday, until now, she has never seen the nurse in Lin Xiao's mouth.
Lin Xiao said: "Sha's mother was caught by the Cao family ten years ago and sold it. I only found her a few years ago, and she was so sick that she was dying, and she didn't even say a word. ”
Yang Mu sighed, it seems that the way to find a breakthrough from Lin Xiao's nurse will not work.
Lin Xiao stretched out his hand, held Yang Mu's hand, looked at her earnestly, and said, "Actually, not only the Empress Dowager is suspicious, but the old housekeeper Qi Bo in the past has also been suspicious and investigated. It's just that at that time, the Cao family reused the people he married, and gradually set up Qi Bo. Later, on the grounds of Qi Bo's old age, he let him go to Zhuangzi to retire. ”
After a pause, he said, "Perhaps, Qi Bo knows something. ”
Yang Mu's eyes lit up and said, "Where is Qi Bo now?" ”
Lin Xiao smiled bitterly: "In the Cao family's wedding Zhuangzi, Daiyun Villa." ”
Yang Mu's brows furrowed slightly, it turned out to be in the Cao family's wedding villa, so it was not so easy for them to get close.
Lin Xiao said: "The most troublesome thing is my father's place." He never let people mention the matter of his mother back then. Therefore you cannot open your mouth to him. ”
Yang Mu thought for a while and said, "Since you can't check it openly, let's go secretly." ”
With her current second-grade skills, let alone a married Zhuangzi, the palace is not inaccessible.
Lin Xiao rubbed Yang Mu's hands apologetically, and said, "I have no internal strength now, so I can't accompany you, so it's better to wait a few days......"
Yang Mu shook his head and said, "I can't wait." ”
She can't always go back to the barracks, and after dealing with the affairs here, she still has to go back to the Suzaku Army.
Lin Xiao obviously guessed Yang Mu's thoughts, sighed in his heart, and raised his voice.
"Wood dust."
The sound of wood dust sounded outside the window.
"Lord Shizi."
Lin Xiao said: "When the time comes, you will accompany the princess to ensure the safety of the princess." ”
As soon as Mu Chen should be, Yang Mu smiled and said, "You let a fourth-grade protect a second-grade?" ”
Lin Xiao smiled: "For emergencies, I'm afraid that you, the second grade, may not be as good as the response ability of Mu Chen, the fourth grade." ”
Seeing that Yang Mu was about to pout, Lin Xiao hurriedly explained: "Mu Chen is a secret guard, how to hide his whereabouts is his skill. ”
Yang Mu thought about it, it was right, it was true that the fourth grade was not the opponent of the second grade, but she had a specialization in the art industry, and she couldn't be complacent.
The matter was decided, Lin Xiao took her to the closet, took out two boxes and put them on the table next to her, and motioned for her to open them and take a look.
Yang Mu opened the two boxes and was stunned.
In a box, it was full of paper, and I don't know how many deeds and title deeds there were.
In the other box, there are full of keys.
Looking at Yang Mumeng's expression, Lin Xiao explained with a smile: "Half of these house deeds and title deeds are in the capital and half are outside Beijing. These keys are the keys to two bankers and several vaults. ”
Yang Mu looked at Lin Xiao in a daze and asked, "Is this ...... Are they all the dowries of the first princess? ”
Lin Xiao nodded and said, "It's not all. At that time, I was young, and I was deceived by Cao Shiyu a lot, and some of them had already been exchanged for silver by her. ”
Yang Mu knew that the biological mother of the first princess was the richest man in the Bai family, and he also knew that the dowry of the first princess was very amazing, but he didn't know that there was still a money village and a silver treasury!
Lin Xiao pushed the two boxes to Yang Mu and said, "Lady, all the net worth of your husband is now handed over to you to take care of." ”
Yang Mu originally thought that his dowry was enough to bluff people, but compared to all the dowries, I am afraid that they are not as good as the two boxes in front of him.
There was a heavy feeling in her heart.
These two boxes are Lin Xiao's expectations for her, and they are also the trust that Lin Xiao entrusts to his wealth.
