Chapter Seventy-Three: Decision
All the people were silent, and the main fire of Rouping County couldn't help but pat the coffee table on his side.
I had never seen my mother get so angry, and the brothers quickly replied honestly: "Yes." ”
"If Xuanbao has no ability and is just an ordinary little doll, will she be beaten?"
The brothers lowered their heads and didn't dare to make a sound, so they heard the lord of Rouping say angrily: "You have all read the sage book, but you don't distinguish between right and wrong, your sister did the right thing and was bullied, you didn't protect it, but you teamed up with others to squeeze Xuanbao." ”
"Mother, I was wrong." Xiao Kezhong was the first to admit his mistake.
"We were wrong, too." The others followed the eldest brother and said.
The eyes of the county lord of Rouping fell on Xiao Mingzhu, and she just knelt silently beside Xiao Kezhong.
Looking at Xiao Mingzhu's eyes, nose and nose, and heart, the county lord of Rouping sighed in her heart, she naturally knew the thoughts of her sons, and in the final analysis, it was all for her sake, but the main master didn't even help them say a few words if she had nothing to do.
"You are wrong, not only because you don't distinguish between right and wrong, but also because you forget which family you belong to." Lord Rouping looked hurt, "Blame me for not teaching you well, I have no shame to face your father." ”
This was serious, and the brothers changed their expressions and knelt down and kowtowed: "Please punish my mother." ”
Waving his hand, the county lord of Rouping said, "What kind of punishment are you talking about?" You're not little dolls anymore, go down and reflect on it and think it through. ”
This time it hurt the mother so much that she didn't want to punish them, and the brothers and sisters got up helplessly and slowly retreated.
"Mother." Xuan Bao hurriedly stepped forward and didn't say anything, just hugged the county lord of Rouping tightly.
Feeling the little doll's little hands clenching himself very strongly, a warm tear fell from the heart of the county lord of Rouping.
"Xuanbao, my mother can't stand you, I didn't protect you well back then, and I don't protect you well now."
"When I was young, now that I'm older, I can protect myself and my mother." Xuan Bao said sincerely.
Xiao Kexiao also stepped forward to persuade: "Mother doesn't have to be sad, eldest brother and they are just thinking about it for a while." ”
"My mother is not sad, she is not sad."
Looking at the well-behaved little Xuanbao in his arms with a worried look, the county lord of Rouping restrained his emotions and nodded with a reluctant smile.
Mama Ying breathed a sigh of relief: "County Lord, the second son and the seventh miss are right, you can relax, it will be fine." ”
"Well, Xuanbao is right." Lord Rouping took a deep breath to stabilize his mind, "Over the years, because I don't care about anything, I have been full of private pockets in the second room, my heart has been raised, and my courage has also been fattened." ”
"Yes, in the past two days, you have cleaned up your private treasury, and forty percent of your dowry has been taken." Mama Ying said worriedly, "As for the internal affairs of the Hou Mansion, the bookkeepers sent by the palace are skillfully sorted out, not to mention the surplus, I am afraid that it is fortunate that it is not a deficit." ”
Xuanbao doesn't know what a deficit is, but he still understands the basic truth: "Mother, you have to pay back other people's things." ”
Xiao Kexiao chuckled: "Mother, Xuanbao understands the truth, presumably adults understand it better." ”
Originally, the county lord of Rouping thought that he would not be guilty of the past after taking over the power of the family, after all, he was a family, and he didn't look up and see him down. But the scene just now made her realize Fang Rongru's unwillingness, she has been concubine for more than 20 years, and she knows her to some extent, this is a person who can be open-minded.
After a moment of silence, the county lord of Rouping spoke: "That's right, it has to be paid back after all, Mama Ying, whether it is my dowry or the money and belongings of the Hou Mansion, you must clean it up thoroughly." ”
Mama Ying was surprised and delighted, just because of the county lord's hesitation, she was not good at showing her skills, and no matter how many times she persuaded her, she didn't expect that Miss Seven and the second son would solve the big problem in two sentences.
"The slave knows that all the dowries of the county lord must be recovered, and the accounts of the Hou Mansion must be clear."
Seeing Mama Ying in high spirits and wanting to do a big job, looking so funny, Xuanbao couldn't help but giggle.
Listening to the little doll's pleasant and cheerful laughter, the county lord of Rouping and Xiao Kexiao couldn't help but laugh with her, and the unhappiness in their hearts when they smiled reduced a lot.
Xuanbao suddenly walked to the door: "You all retreat, winter snow, summer rain, stay at the door." ”
Is there something to be said? The county lord of Rouping glanced at Mama Ying, and she waved her hand at the people of the Qinser Courtyard outside the door, and they all retreated into the distance.
"Xuanbao?" Xiao Kexiao has long been full of questions.
"Mother, second brother, Mama Ying, I want to come and go, there are some things that I have to tell you first." Xuan Bao climbed onto the Taishi chair and sat upright, his tone serious.
Seeing this, the servants present looked at Xuanbao with serious faces, and they all looked attentive.
"The second aunt is not simple."
At first glance, the servants didn't think what Xuanbao said was anything unusual. When the little doll told all the methods of the second room, they couldn't believe it and were shocked when they heard about the ghosts surrounding and the corpses suppressed in the back corner of the firewood room in the west courtyard.
The face of the county lord of Rouping turned a little pale: "Fang Rongru has so many lives under his hands? ”
Mama Ying found out that although she was a little unbearable, she thought that the county lord should also listen more to know the darkness of people's hearts.
"It doesn't have to be the second aunt, maybe it's the second uncle, but it must be inseparable from the second room."
Xiao Kexiao's heart moved: "Xuanbao, then you go to Tianlong Temple, are you looking for a master to surpass the soul?" ”
"Yes and no." After hesitating, Xuan Bao decided not to say anything about the monk, "In addition to this, I will also go to have fun by the way." ”
Xiao Kexiao continued to ask, "Then have you seen the monk?" ”
"What? Divine Monk! Lord Rouping and Mama Ying spoke in unison.
Xuan Bao nodded sincerely: "I saw him, I saw him playing chess." ”
"Oh! It's a blessing for you to see him. Lord Rouping said happily.
The mother's understanding of what she saw seemed to be different from what she really saw, but Xuanbao thought about it flawlessly, and the key point she wanted to say was not here.
"Oh, second brother, don't interrupt, the point I want to say is that we have to deal with it carefully, in addition to the obvious side, there are also some things that are not visible."
was reminded by Xuanbao, and the other three people felt a pang in their hearts at the same time, that's right, thinking about the second room is simply insidious and vicious.
"Either way, or not, forget it, as long as you are all safe." The lord of Rouping habitually retreated.
As soon as the words fell, they met the disapproving gazes of the other three people, and Mama Ying couldn't help but say: "County Lord, again and again, what if there is no way to retreat one day?" ”
"Mother, haven't you given the second room enough over the years?" Xiao Kexiao's eyes darkened, "People's hearts are insufficient." ”
"Mother, I don't understand anything else, I just ask you Xiao Youduo and Xiao Youfeng secretly bullying the second brother, do you know about this?"
The county lord of Rouping looked at Xiao Kexiao in surprise: "How could they?" ”
"Nothing, it's all over." Xiao Kexiao smiled faintly, "After all, eldest brother, they can't be with me all the time." ”
