Chapter 048: Like a Brute

Shen Lingxi was not annoyed, raised Qing Lingling's eyes to look at him, and asked seriously, "Since the grandmother wants to bring her daughter back, and now that her bones are not cold, you will blast your daughter out in front of her old man...... Is Daddy planning to disobey Grandmother? ”

"Resentment...... Disobedience?! Shen Ji was furious, "You dare to say this kind of thing to me, I think you are disobedient and unfilial!" Someone ...... coming."

"Mother Cui." Shen Lingxi interrupted his words and looked directly at Mother Cui, who was crying in front of the old ancestor's bed, "Before the old ancestor passed away, did you explain who the treasury and accounts in this mansion should be handed over?" ”

Cui's mother only hesitated for a moment, then wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and replied respectfully, "Back to the fifth girl, the ancestors have never explained, how to hand over the treasury and accounts to whom, and now you have to listen to the girl's meaning." ”

Shen Lingxi's expression was slightly relaxed.

She can now be regarded as having no father, no mother, and no reliance in this house.

Cui's mother can say something like "hand it over to the big house", and she can surrender to Xuanping Hou and Xiao An's family, and be honored with peace of mind.

But Cui's mother chose to help her.

This means that Cui's mother's heart is loyal to her ancestors.

Then, the letter she asked Cui's mother to bring back in Fu'an Hall must have indeed been handed over to the ancestors.

These considerations flew through Shen Lingxi's mind.

"Father, can you hear me?" She turned her head and looked at Shen Ji again, "Now the treasury and accounts in the mansion are still in the hands of my daughter, and the ancestors are funeral, and everything in the mansion has to be paid from my daughter's hands...... Do you want to let the white things in the house be handled well, or do you covet the things left by your ancestors and want to cross the second room to swallow it alone? ”

As soon as these words came out, even the second lady Cui Shi, who was only sobbing next to her, raised her head in amazement.

When the ancestor was alive, he had already taken back the right to be the steward of the second room.

She has no children and no daughters, and she has a husband...... It's no different from her dead husband, and now it's just a matter of relying on people and begging for a living in the hands of a big house.

I can't think that this Hou Mansion will have their second room behind the ancestors.

"You, you, you ......" Shen Ji widened, "You're just a little girl who hasn't left the pavilion, and the things that were handed over to you before were just your grandmother who asked you to learn to be a housekeeper." ”

He never expected that Shen Lingxi, who was still looking at the delicate and weak before, would be so sharp-toothed, it seems that Mother An was not wrong at the beginning, this is a dead girl with a soft face and a black heart!

Shen Jiqiang almost laughed angrily, "Now that your grandmother has passed away, those things will naturally be returned to your mother to take care of, which means that no unmarried girl has crossed the rules of being the housekeeper of the house." How can you not pay it!

He forced the anger in his heart, "If you know each other, you will hand over the treasury keys and accounts by yourself, and your father will give you some dignity, and allow you to kowtow a few times in front of the spirit of your ancestors, and leave the house by yourself, and from now on, don't come back." ”

"That's not going to happen." Shen Lingxi said lightly, "Grandmother was fine before, but she suddenly turned over, and my father didn't let her do an examination of the body, and now she is in a hurry to urge her daughter to hand over the treasury and accounts, and her daughter doesn't dare to take this risk." ”

"Adventure?" Shen Ji frowned, not understanding, "What risk?" ”

Xiao An's on the side stepped forward and whispered in Shen Ji's ear, "Master Hou, the five girls probably think that the ancestor was killed by us, and I am afraid that this treasury and accounts will not be handed over in vain, and the silver will not be matched by the time, and then it will be pushed to her head......"

When Shen Ji heard this, he was so angry that one Buddha went out of his body, and the second Buddha ascended to heaven.

"Good you dead girl,"

His hands were trembling, and he pointed at Shen Lingxi and scolded, "I thought you were just born in the countryside and had no one to educate you, and you have been dealing with dead people since you were a child, so you are a little unlucky. I can't imagine that at such a young age, your heart and eyes are so dirty! I am your own father, and instead of respecting me in your heart, you still think of me as such...... Wait...... Mother-killing beast greedy for money, you, you, you...... I'm going to kill you today!" ”

In the end, he was really angry, he raised his slap and slapped Shen Lingxi's face hard!

A hint of coldness flashed in Shen Lingxi's eyes.

It seems that she, a halfway father, is too long with two arms, and she wants to scrap one in a hurry.

Seeing that the slap was about to fall, she was about to raise her hand---

Suddenly, two figures, one red and one black, rushed forward from behind her.

One stopped Shen Ji's slap, and the other blocked Shen Lingxi's body.

"What is Shen Hou doing?" Mu Huai'an, who was wearing a scarlet official uniform, tightly wrapped Shen Ji's wrist with one hand, a pair of peach blossom eyes were glowing with cold anger, and said with a smile: "My father taught me that when I was a child, I lived like a human being and a 'beast', not by others, but by myself." ”

He deliberately bit the word "beast", like a slap on Shen Ji's face.

If others were so yin and yang in front of Shen Ji, it would definitely make Shen Ji murderous.

But he is Mu Huai'an.

Aside from the identity of the queen's nephew, he is Shen Ji's future son-in-law.

Can't let him misunderstand himself.

Shen Ji stretched his face and said unhappily: "Virtuous nephew, this is a family affair of my Hou Mansion, this girl is talking nonsense, if I don't teach her, wouldn't I let others laugh." ”

"But she's right...... Mu Huai'an let go of his wrist and said as a matter of course: "The old ancestor did come over suddenly, and my grandmother specially asked me to come to the door to condole, and by the way, see how the old ancestor lived." If there is really a problem in this, doesn't Shen Houmo feel it...... After beating Shen Lingxi, he is not a 'brute' who kills his mother and is greedy for money in the eyes of others? ”

The heavy bite of the word "beast" made Shen Ji's face even more ugly.

"It's okay if you ask me to hand over the keys to the warehouse and the accounts." Shen Lingxi looked at him and opened his mouth lightly, "Either let's go to the yamen now and go through these things in front of the government." Or wait for the first seven o'clock of grandmother's head, in front of the elders of the clan, count it, and I will officially hand it over to you. Master Hou chooses for himself. ”

This time, I didn't even bother to shout the word "father" anymore.

Seven days, enough for Shen Lingxi to investigate the death of the ancestor clearly.

It can also let the souls of the ancestors see the faces of everyone in this mansion.

Seeing this battle, Xiao An's stretched out his hand to pull Shen Ji aside, and persuaded softly, "Master Hou, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, the five girls are already doing white things, so why not let her take care of the treasury for a few more days, and wait for the elders of the clan to come, in front of the big guys, according to the previous wishes of the ancestors, it is just right to divide this property, anyway, we have a clear conscience." ”

With her words, Shen Ji finally eased his expression, turned his head to Shen Lingxi, and said disgustedly: "Then wait for the first seven, when the things are handed over, you will go back to the coffin shop, don't let me see you again." ”

Shen Lingxi nodded.

She didn't want to stay in this mansion for long.

"In this case, the white matter in this house should also be what I say, now, please leave this room, if you stay for another hour, the body of the ancestor will rot."
