Chapter Seventy-Two Remains
Xiao Yicheng approached when he heard the voice, "What does grandmother want to say to her grandson?" ”
The old lady sighed lightly, "What kind of wind is she blowing in your ears that makes you speak for her like this?" ”
Xiao Yicheng paused and said softly: "Grandmother, I don't." ”
The old lady's tone was instantly cold, "You have protected her like this, and you still said that you didn't!" ”
Xiao Yicheng frowned, not knowing how to explain it.
If he said it too seriously, it would only make the old lady hold on to this matter and add to Jiang Wan's worries.
If he said it lightly, Jiang Juan would have no one to protect him and be wronged again.
He didn't know why, he was more and more reluctant to watch Jiang Juan being crushed again and fall into the mouths of others.
Jiang Juan smiled when he saw this, his eyes full of ridicule, "Second son, don't say it again, because no matter what the truth is, the old lady will not seek justice for me." ”
"I'm an aunt, I'm a geisha, my life is as thin as paper, not to mention being kidnapped by someone, even if someone takes my life, it's not worth mentioning."
The more Jiang Juan spoke, the more humble he became, and Xiao Yicheng couldn't help but clench his fists when he heard it.
Xu glared at Jiang Juan sharply, and said sharply: "Aunt Jiang is so yin and yang, do you want to say that I am narrow-minded and careless about people's lives?" ”
"Mother, daughter-in-law wronged."
As soon as he turned his head, Xu also became aggrieved.
The old lady was tortured so much that she had a headache, she didn't want to pay attention to Jiang Juan, but thinking that the birthday banquet had nothing to do with her, and the Hou Ye had a request before leaving, she couldn't let the Xu family drive people away.
She had no choice but to ask Xiao Yicheng, "You rescued the person from the mountain bandit's den, but what did you ask?" ”
Xiao Yicheng hesitated, "It's about the innocence of the two, I should avoid suspicion, it's not good to speak out." ”
The old lady froze suddenly, "You kid, you actually hold a grudge!" ”
Xiao Yicheng explained repeatedly, "I don't want to be misunderstood and favor anyone, so it is reasonable for my grandmother to interrogate herself in this matter." ”
"Don't worry, my people have already started to suppress the bandits, and I believe that this matter will come to an end soon."
The old lady nodded, "In that case, then let's wait a few days to talk about it, does Aunt Jiang have any objections?" ”
"Nope."
Jiang Juan shook her head, she quickly rolled her eyes, and said: "By the way, the old lady is afraid that she can't call me Aunt Jiang anymore, after all, I have been kicked out by my wife, so I can't be considered a person from the Hou Mansion." ”
Hearing this, Xu instantly clenched his fists, "Aunt Jiang! ”
The old lady had a gloomy face.
She didn't like Jiang Juan, but Hou Ye insisted that she be more lenient to Jiang Juan, so she could only balance between the Xu family and Jiang Juan.
Just thinking about it, the old lady on the side reminded in a low voice: "I heard that Aunt Jiang has won the hearts of the people of Qinghe Town recently, if you drive Aunt Jiang away at this time, I am afraid that it will attract criticism." ”
The old lady's eyes flashed, and she felt that this was reasonable.
She glanced at Jiang Juan and said in a deep voice: "Madam doesn't really want to get rid of Aunt Jiang, but she is worried about my body, why should Aunt Jiang care?" ”
Jiang Wan's eyes flashed, "What does the old lady mean that I can continue to stay in the Song family and continue to be my fourth aunt?" ”
Xu's eyes darkened, and he only felt that his heart was hurting.
She suddenly turned around and said to the old lady: "Mother, although the birthday banquet has nothing to do with Aunt Jiang, it is true that she seduced the prince before, and now she doesn't know ........"
"I don't know what kind of mind I played in front of Chen'er, but I made Chen'er willing to speak for him, it can be seen that leaving her will only make the Hou Mansion unpeaceful!"
Xu squinted his eyes at Xiao Yicheng and emphasized: "I didn't say this because of my villain's heart, but because I'm really afraid." ”
"How dare she with me?"
The old lady grabbed Xu's arm and said in a good voice: "Besides, the Qinghe Town incident has just ended, she doesn't care about her past suspicions, and practices medicine and good deeds in the name of the Hou Mansion. ”
"I ......"
Xu Shi frowned, she was about to argue, but was interrupted by Xiao Yicheng in a cold voice.
"When I heard my grandmother talk about this, I suddenly thought of donating to charity, and I didn't know what difficulties the house encountered, but in this fever, there was no money, no manpower, and no condolences at all."
He turned his head to look at the Xu clan and couldn't help but sigh, "I remember, the Hou Mansion wasn't like this before. ”
The old lady got up abruptly when she heard this, she valued the reputation of the Hou Mansion and the affection between the emperor, and naturally she couldn't tolerate mistakes.
She grabbed Xu's arm and asked urgently, "Didn't you say that you should handle this matter well?" How can this be? ”
Xu's face turned red instantly, she couldn't say that she was angry because of the failure to deal with Jiang Xuan, and she forgot to get down to business.
She lowered her head and said with difficulty: "The affairs of the house are too busy, I forgot." ”
"Confused, how can you forget such an important matter?"
The old lady was angry and helpless, but it was not good to let her villain win her ambition in front of Jiang Juan.
She could only take a breath and asked Xu, "Now, can the affairs of the house be arranged?" ”
Xu nodded.
"Just do it."
The old lady froze down, took Xiao Yicheng's hand in a blink of an eye, and said, "The Song family is big, your stepmother has some negligence that should be understood." ”
"I don't know, do you have the aftermath of this matter?"
Xiao Yicheng glanced at Jiang Juan and nodded, "The fourth aunt took out 50,000 silver taels to donate, and used the Xizhou medicinal materials that have been treasured for many years as a comfort, this matter can be regarded as a good beginning and a good end." ”
"Oh?"
The old lady turned her head to look at Jiang Xuan, very shocked, "Why didn't I know, you actually have so much silver, as well as Xizhou medicinal materials?" ”
"It's all Hou Ye who rewarded me, so the old lady should ask Hou Ye this question."
Jiang Juan smiled and continued: "Since it is something that the Hou Ye rewards, I should dedicate it when the Hou Mansion is in difficulty, and I should do things for the Hou Mansion." ”
"I see."
The old lady muttered and nodded, but her eyes were full of meaning.
After hearing this, Xu's chest instantly rose and fell even more.
No wonder the robbers can't get the money back, they all take it to do good, how can they get it back?
Xu Shi suddenly felt itchy and painful in her heart, and she couldn't listen to the words after that.
It wasn't until the old lady signaled that she was tired that she came back to her senses and followed Jiang Juan and Xiao Yicheng out of the room.
The old lady looked at the back of Xu's lost soul and couldn't help but sigh.
Seeing this, the old lady leaned over and asked, "You sigh because Madame is disappointed?" ”
The old lady shook her head, "She has been in charge of the Hou Mansion for many years, and now the Hou Ye favors prostitutes, she is aggrieved in her heart, and it is inevitable that she will be emotionally unbalanced and have thoughts that she shouldn't have." ”
"I am also a woman, I understand her, and naturally I will not be disappointed in her."
The old lady was puzzled, "What the old lady said is, but you don't like the restlessness of the house, since you can see the lady's thoughts, why didn't you knock it just now?" ”
The old lady smiled and sighed: "No, there is some truth, you can only understand it if you turn your head in person." ”
"Then Aunt Jiang, do you really plan to let her continue to live? You're not afraid of her and the ......"
The old lady shook her head, "With the Xu family here, someone will clean up Aunt Jiang, let's just take care of our bodies." ”
