Birou took the family rules. It was a jade plaque, one foot long and seven inches wide. The family rules were engraved on it and painted with cinnabar. The patch was densely packed red.

The old lady said: "Read it."

"The first rule of the Xue Mansion's family rules is that filial piety comes first among all good deeds. Those who are unfilial will be expelled from the family tree and their Xue surname will be deleted. The second rule is that the elders and younger ones should be arranged in an orderly manner. There should be distinctions between direct descendants and concubines. If there are any transgressions by concubines, the minor ones will be removed from the family tree and the serious ones will be sold.

!”

"That's enough, the family rules are here and have not been changed. Who stipulates that you can call the principal wife your sister?" the old lady asked in a loud voice.

Xue Li sweated on his forehead and said, "Mother, my son is at fault in this matter. I thought they were getting along in harmony, and they always called each other sisters in private, so they got used to it, so I didn't correct it."

The old lady hummed: "There is no rule without rules. Fortunately, Lian'er is here today. If anyone else would just laugh at our Xue Mansion, what prestige will you have outside then?"

Xue Li immediately said: "My son knows his mistake. This is the first time Jiufeng has made a mistake. Please forgive her this time." He couldn't help but plead for Yin Jiufeng.

The old lady said: "That's all, just fine her half a year's monthly payment."

A fine of silver was considered the lightest punishment, and Madam Ninth immediately kowtowed to thank her.

Xue Qing'er said unwillingly: "Didn't Third Yiniang scream too? Why don't you punish her?"

Xue Meiren covered her face with frost upon hearing this, it seemed that the punishment just now was too light.

Jiu Yiniang felt bad and immediately stabbed her daughter and said, "No way, the third sister is not as unruly as a concubine."

No matter how stupid Xue Qing'er was, she suddenly realized that her words had already offended both Third Yiniang and Xue Meiren.

Xue Li suppressed his anger because of this incident and glared at Xue Rou'er because she was the one who provoked it. Then he looked at the eldest lady and said, "Tell me, what's going on with the jade head and face?

"

The eldest lady said calmly: "What kind of emerald head and face? I have never seen my body before." She was indifferent and exuding a cold and arrogant air, which had a unique charm.

Xue Liwei flashed his eyes, but instantly returned to his coldness: "Really? Then you are saying that Yu Shu lied?"

The third lady glanced at the fifth lady, who immediately took a step forward and said, "Master Qi, the eldest lady has indeed taken that jade head and face away from me."

The old lady asked: "How did you know?"

The fifth lady said: "That day, I went to look for my third sister, wanting to chat about home affairs, but I saw the eldest lady walking out happily with a box in her arms. She left in such a hurry that I didn't see my concubine.

Later, the third sister ran out and grabbed the eldest lady and argued with the eldest lady. As a result, the eldest lady said that she was the mistress of the house and we...we were just high-level maids and had no right to use such an expensive head and face.

The third sister said that this was a reward from the emperor, but the eldest lady not only ignored it, but also slapped the third sister.

Later, I felt that this scene was not suitable for showing up, so I went back."

The old lady asked: "Then have you seen that set of jade heads and faces?"

The fifth lady immediately denied it: "I have seen that set of jade heads and faces. They are exquisitely made and extremely gorgeous."

Xue Li shouted: "Wang Xueru, you said Yushu lied, did Guifen also lie?"

The eldest lady smiled lightly and said, "What you say is unfounded."

The third lady and the fifth lady looked at each other. They were surprised by the eldest lady's calmness. Did she hide the jade head and face? But she shouldn't have thought of this in her mind. Could it be that the evildoer Xue Rou'er is causing trouble again?

?The two of them looked at Xue Rouer in unison.

When Xue Rou'er saw them looking at her, she said, "Rou'er has been staying with her mother. We have been taking care of ourselves since we arrived at Jinxiu Pavilion. My mother just stepped out of Jinxiu Pavilion today.

Besides, my mother has just recovered from a serious illness, so how can she have the strength to go out and grab things? Have you seen a ghost? "

The third lady became a little anxious and said, "I didn't lie, otherwise why would I let such a good head and face go unused?" She wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, her expression full of grievances was unbearable.

Xue Lian'er said: "Since everyone has their own opinions, let's search. I want to see whose yard this set of jade heads and faces is in."

The eldest lady was still calm and calm: "Search, yes, but it must be fair. If Jinxiu Pavilion is not found but found in another yard, I have to ask for justice. I just don't know if you are willing to let people search the yard?"

The third lady was the first to say: "I am willing."

The fifth lady also said: "I am also willing to marry you."

Madam Ninth's expression was ugly. She had exchanged the gifts for Madam Xue and Xue Rou'er. If this was found out to be embarrassing and the old madam held on to her, she would face the consequences of being thrown out of court or sold out.

But now it is difficult to get off the tiger. If I say that I will not allow the yard to be searched, then I will bear the crime of stealing the jade head and face for nothing. No one can bear this crime, and it will be beheaded.

Weighing the pros and cons, she decided to take a gamble on how deeply Xue Li loved her.

So a treasure hunting war began...

The most laid-back person here is Ling Muran. He secretly observed everyone and found that Xue Rou'er could not help but become sharp-tongued and very scheming. If the battle to turn over the Wang family was really planned by her, then he would rather marry someone who didn't

His beloved Xue Rou'er, after all, only those who can help him in the shopping mall will make more profits for him, and what Xue Qing'er can bring him is just a dowry.

He watched everything with great interest, and his mind was quickly weighing the pros and cons of marrying Xue Rou'er and Xue Qing'er.

Xue Rou'er ignored Ling Muran and rubbed the old lady's shoulders. She was a senior jade appraiser in her previous life. Sometimes she had to sit for more than ten hours to clean a piece of ancient jade. Her whole body was so stiff that she couldn't bear it, so she went to learn to massage herself.

Press it yourself.

The old lady hadn't noticed that Xue Rou'er had used any skills, she just felt that her sore shoulders and neck felt very comfortable when she kneaded them like this. Anyway, there was nothing to do during the waiting time, so she just enjoyed it.

Xue Qing'er glared at Xue Rou'er. The seat next to her grandmother has always been hers. Hateful Xue Rou'er, so she couldn't die and became even more powerful. Could it be that she was possessed by some goblin during the thunder that day?

Madam Ninth kept praying in her heart, hoping that Nobuko would hide the things and not be discovered, but she couldn't help but be afraid, and the cold sweat on her forehead made her makeup wet.

The eldest lady still has a leisurely face, calm and calm, and her demeanor is definitely worthy of the name of the mistress of the Xue family.

Although the third lady lowered her head, the corners of her mouth were raised. The fifth lady looked a little unwilling. If the eldest lady was successfully moved this time, the third lady might be in charge. It would be fine if the third lady treated her better in the future. If she

What should I do if I am afraid that I will seize the throne and be assassinated? After all, the third lady’s son is in control of the store’s account books, and her son is only responsible for opening jade. Although opening jade requires absolutely exquisite skills and vision, it is just a craft to make a living.

How can it be compared to the eldest son who directly faces gold and silver?

Everyone present had different thoughts, even Xue Meiren couldn't help but pretended to be calm.

About an hour later, the guards brought by Xue Meiren came in and said: "Beauty Qi, the set of jade headbands has been found."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the room looked at the eldest lady...

[Author's digression]: A short off-topic story: Xue Rou'er looked at the eldest lady and said, "Mom, I found something. You must hold on tight and don't reveal any flaws."

The eldest lady smiled slightly: "Daughter, although I am not an old fox, the fact that I can give birth to a little fox like you means that I am not bad at all!"

Xue Rouer chuckled: "That's good, but if they question you later, how will you answer?"

The eldest lady thought for a moment and said: "Oh, my daughter, you didn't tell me how I should answer! Mom doesn't know! How about we take action?"
