The Power of the First Daughter, Doctor and Concubine Dominates the World
Chapter 71: maliciousChapter 71 Evil heart
Cui's heart skipped a beat, and she knelt on the pedal, "Mother, the second master always needs money. The second master receives one thousand taels of silver from his father a month, which is far from enough."
"Whether the second master is enough, you think I don't know?" Feng Shi sneered, "Should I call my second son to ask now? Has he ever taken money from you? Ever since you entered Xie's house The gate of Changyang Uncle’s mansion seems to be getting better, and it is said that the second bedroom has earned money by doing business outside, so what is going on, you think I am blind?"
Xie’s family’s money is not easy to get. Xiao has been in charge of Zhongfu for so many years, and the old lady is very strict. The accountant of Xie’s family has always only listened to the owner’s orders. It is not easy for Xiao to embezzle a tael of silver from it. She didn't dare to move either.
Mr. Xiao didn't know at the beginning that Mrs. Feng would subsidize the second house from time to time. Where did the money come from? The Changyang uncle's mansion and the Yongchang uncle's mansion are both old nobles in Beijing, the titles inherited by the ancestors after they fought with the emperor Taizu. Who doesn't know who?
Feng's dowry, even if Xiao didn't see it with her own eyes, she had heard from her natal mother that it was really shabby.
It took a long time for Xiao to know where Feng's money came from? She spends it with peace of mind, as her natal brother's money is tight, she will release some, and gradually becomes more courageous, and takes a stake in some of her natal brother's business, so she doesn't feel bad if she loses, but she is pleasantly surprised when she earns.
At this point, Xiao's face was a little ugly, his eyebrows were lowered, and he didn't speak. She is not an idiot, she understands Feng's meaning, they are in the same boat now.
"The second child was born in October after I worked so hard to conceive, and you are the daughter-in-law I personally selected. You also know that the second child was not interested in you. In order to marry you in, I begged The old man reasoned with the second child again. After all, it is because you and I are both from noble backgrounds, and it is more in line with my wishes than those girls from noble families."
"What does mother mean?" Xiao Shi understood, and tightly gripped the handkerchief, feeling uneasy in her heart, so nervous that she could hardly kneel.
"She is a child, and she doesn't know who's instigated her, so she treats us as enemies, and makes troubles at home all day long because of this dowry. If the long house is subdued, Afraid of them jumping up and down?"
When Mrs. Xiao came out of Chunhui Hall, her whole body was shaking and she couldn't even stand steadily.
Nurse Tang walked around the big screen, saw Xiao Shi's face was not good, walked two steps forward to support Xiao Shi, and called in a low voice, "Ma'am?"
Xiao Shi quietly waved her hand to tell her not to speak, and the two of them were silent all the way back to their yard.
As soon as he entered the door, Xiao's legs went limp, and he almost sat on the ground. Mammy Tang didn't hold on tightly, and suddenly exerted force, almost breaking her arm, and exclaimed, "Ma'am, what's wrong with you?"
Two little maids at the door quickly stepped forward to hold Xiao Shi, and the three of them worked together to carry him in.
Mammy Tang was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out, she waved her hand to make everyone retreat, and then sent a confidant daughter-in-law to guard the door, poured a cup of hot tea, and fed Xiao a few sips to suppress her shock, before asking again , "Ma'am, did the old lady say something?"
Mrs. Xiao was lying on the couch, she hadn't spoken yet, tears were streaming down, "Nurse, you don't know, I regret it to death in my heart right now."
Nurse Tang stood aside, bowed her waist, and waited for Xiao Shi to continue, "You don't know what the old lady told me today. She said, find a way to get the big girl..."
Xiao didn't say anything, and waved a beheading gesture with his hand. Mammy Tang opened her mouth wide in shock, and couldn't close it for a long time. When she was able to speak, she couldn't find her own voice, "What about the big girl?"
Ms. Xiao was so frightened that she got up quickly, covered Nanny Tang's mouth, looked around and said in horror, "What are you doing? Why are you so loud? Do you want to die?"
Tang Nanny knelt on the ground with a plop, why is she so sloppy? I insisted on asking my wife what was going on, and couldn't help crying, "Ma'am, don't be stupid, you can't do this no matter what! In this world, how can there be a fire wrapped in paper? If you don't talk about it, master, Just say that the young master and the second girl know about it, and they won't let you off!"
Xiao's hands tightly held the big autumn-colored money python mattress under her body, and her face was pale. How could she not know this truth? It's just that it's hard to get off now.
"Speaking of which, I'm still naive." Xiao laughed at herself, "Who is the old lady? She was born in the uncle's house, and she was poor for half her life. First, the dowry of the elder sister-in-law, now it seems that one year's income should be paid for. It’s no less than one hundred thousand taels, and the old lady helps me a little from time to time, I’m also shallow-skinned, and I’ve fallen into this trap because I’ve been dazed by the amount of money.”
Nurse Tang no longer cared about Cui's dowry, all she could think about was how to get the second wife out of trouble. Who is Miss Xie? Not to mention that she is now the second-rank county magistrate of the imperial court, but only that in the past, even if the eldest girl was nothing, she was still the eldest girl in this mansion. Among the people left by her, which one was not powerful? Protect the big girl so that the water can't get in.
Mother Tang was afraid that Mrs. Xiao's head would get hot and put the second room in a doomed situation, so she persuaded, "Ma'am, the Cui family is not so easy to mess with. Look, these years, besides the old lady, besides the old lady who forced two The girl went there, and was dismissed by the eldest girl not long ago. Who else? One Qiu Nanny is enough for several of us, let alone the old lady of the Cui family is still alive, and those uncles and wives are all It’s not a fuel-efficient lamp. Yi Numai looked at it, the Cui family probably knew that the dowry of the eldest wife would not be well received by the old lady, and the reason why they never mentioned it these years should be thoughtful.”
Xiao Shi sat up abruptly, his eyes widened, "Please explain clearly!"
"The maid suddenly thought of this. Madam, think about it, are Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Cui's uncle and wife all fools? I heard that it was Mrs. Cui who asked the old lady to help arrange the dowry of Mrs. Xian. They don't care about it, why?"
"The purpose is to stabilize the old lady and wait for the big girl to grow up?"
"is not that right?"
"Sure enough, it's the Zanying family. This scheme is really powerful!" Xiao took a deep breath, "The Cui family plotted against the old lady, and the old lady plotted against me. What am I doing here? With such a small amount of money, I have now put myself in a dilemma."
"Madam, do you want to tell the second master about this?"
"What are you telling him? They are mother and son anyway. Besides, if he knows that I take money from the old lady, he might be angry. Why should I seek anger for nothing?"
"Then what is the wife going to do now?"
