Chapter 44: Frontier Wars and Chaos in the Palace
Xue Rou'er said: "First, after listening to Liu'er's words, grandma also began to doubt the cause of the death of the second aunt, as well as the death of the sixth, seventh and eighth aunts. If they were all alive, Rou'er would not have only three brothers. Who would not
Does she like to be surrounded by descendants? Besides, she only has one son, so she naturally hopes to spread her branches and leave as many descendants as possible.
So she felt sad but had no evidence. The only witness was Liu Er, and now she is dead. If such an unsolved case is tried to the end, more scars will be revealed and others will laugh at her.
That's why she used us to teach Third Yiniang a lesson and tell her not to be arrogant."
The eldest lady said: "If you want to teach Third Yiniang a lesson, you don't have to start from our side?"
Xue Rouer smiled and said: "This is the second purpose I want to talk about. Mother, don't you think grandma is also warning us? No one in the Xue family can understand her scheme better than her. Even though we turn around, we can't escape.
Her control can be regarded as a warning."
The eldest lady nodded and said: "Yes, that makes sense, but I can't figure out who took the gold ingot."
Xue Rouer thought for a moment and said: "This kind of thing is too simple for the old lady. She was a bandit when she was young. Now she is only in her early fifties and has a sharp body. Besides, I think the two girls around her are not simple.
People, so what’s the difficulty in stealing a gold ingot?”
The eldest lady was wringing her handkerchief and feeling panic-stricken. If she didn't follow the old lady's wishes in the future, she might die one day.
Xue Rou'er saw the eldest lady's thoughts and said: "Mom, you don't have to worry about what grandma will do to you. It will be good for us to make a fuss about what happened today.
When grandma comes, won't she just say that I am her darling? In the future, those other houses will not dare to make trouble against me. Besides, the people who are doing the planning today have a sense of control. Otherwise, how can I still stay here in peace and quiet? "
The eldest lady felt a little relieved and said: "It would be fine if it was like what you said, but please stop acting recklessly. If what happened today was not arranged by the old lady, wouldn't you be beaten to death?"
Xue Rou'er nodded, feeling a little flustered, and said: "Well, don't worry, Mom, I will be more cautious. I think it is best for us not to have contact with Jiu Yiniang before she gives birth. Otherwise, we are not harmful to others. It does not mean that others are not.
If you become the scapegoat at that time, it will be too late to cry out for injustice!"
The eldest lady nodded and said: "Well, I understand, so I don't plan to go out and fight for anything now."
Xue Rou'er sighed: "It's really hard to explain what's going on in the big house. I thought I could handle it with ease, but I didn't want to. It seems I have too many things to learn."
The eldest lady covered her with a quilt and said, "Let's sleep for a while. Does it still hurt?"
Xue Rou'er shook her head and said: "It doesn't hurt anymore. Grandma's medicine is very effective. Mom, what is a secret reward?"
The eldest lady said: "Even if the reward is secret, it will not be brought to the table. The person who receives the reward will know it in his heart and will not make it public. The money for the reward is borne by the individual and cannot be transferred to the accounting office."
Xue Rouer secretly noted it down, so it turned out that there was something like this.
The eldest lady was sitting aside, embroidering, and she also learned three-dimensional embroidery to pass the time.
Xue Rou'er lay on her stomach but did not sleep, thinking about the old lady's intentions. She appreciated that she spoke for Madam Ninth, but she also saw that her schemes were far better than these aunts, and now she used this matter to punish her.
After losing the third lady, it would be hard for me to do anything.
Maybe the old lady thought that if she took action, she would never be so light, so she used this method to give herself a warning. She still had the final say in the Xue Mansion, and she couldn't escape from her palm.
Thinking of this, she felt a little depressed and felt powerless. She really wanted to leave the Xue Mansion and go back to live in the Wang family, where it would be much warmer than here.
She cast her eyes on the eldest lady, and her heart moved. The thing in her hand was a lily. She loved Xue Li, and if she was taken away by force, I'm afraid she would not be happy for the rest of her life. The mother she finally got.
, she didn’t want to hurt her, nor did she want to see her unhappy, so she had to give up the idea of leaving. But she didn’t know if there was a place for them and her mother in this big mansion?
Xue Rou'er saw the sadness on the eldest lady's face, and she decided to use any method to create a sky in Xue's mansion, a sky that belonged to her mother, with sunshine, breeze, and Xue Li...
"Hey, sister, what's going on?" Xue Qing'er walked in with a gloating smile on her face.
"Why is Qing'er free to come here today?" The eldest lady put down her embroidery work.
Xue Qing'er smiled and said: "I met my mother. My daughter heard that the eldest sister was beaten, so she came to take a look. I originally wanted to take the eldest sister out for a walk, but it seems that it is unfortunate. I am afraid that it is difficult for the eldest sister to get out of bed now.
Then Qing'er had no choice but to follow Brother Ling into the streets alone."
A sneer appeared at the corner of Xue Rou'er's mouth. Xue Qing'er thought she was in love with Ling Muran, but she actually used such words to stimulate her. It's a pity that the Xue Rou'er today is not the Xue Rou'er of the past. Even if you fucked in front of her, she wouldn't even bat an eyelid.
Lift it.
"Thank you very much, sister. I hope you can have more fun when you go out." Xue Rou'er said lightly.
When Xue Qing'er saw that she didn't care, the smile on her face faded and she sneered: "Thank you very much, sister, huh."
Xue Rou'er looked at Xue Qing'er's back, and a question suddenly came to her mind. Xue Qing'er was only fourteen, and her figure was so plump. Did she inherit it from Jiu Yiniang, or had she already slept with Ling Muran?
Some people can tell whether a woman is a virgin by the way she walks, but she doesn't have such a sophisticated vision. She can't ask about this kind of thing, but it's none of her business whether they have sex. It's better to sleep and recuperate.
Thinking of this, Xue Rouer yawned and fell asleep.
When she woke up, it was already late at night, and her stomach was growling. She wanted to get up, but her butt still hurt terribly, so she had to call out: "Yu Slave, I'm hungry."
"Miss, are you awake?" The slave Yu was outside. There was a sound of dressing. She walked in, rubbing her eyes: "Miss, are you hungry? There is bird's nest porridge warming on the stove. I will bring it to you."
After a while, Xue Rouer asked while eating bird's nest porridge: "Did you go to the dining room to get it?"
Yunu said: "No, the old lady asked Birou to send it, and there are many more."
Xue Rou'er glanced at the casserole and said, "I can't finish it, you can eat the rest, otherwise it will be wasted.
Yunu didn't show any pretense, she served Xue Rou'er and ate all the rest.
Xue Rouer asked: "Is there any news about my father?"
Yu Nu hummed: "What else can happen? I've been hanging around Jiu Yiniang all day long, so I just have to treat her as an ancestor."
Xue Rou'er curled her lips and said nothing. Garfield suddenly jumped on the bed and used his paws to pull the pendant twice.
She took out the note inside, read it and said: "There is a war in the border area. The emperor ordered a 20% tax to be levied on wealthy businessmen. Our Xue Mansion is on the list. I wonder what dad will do?"
Yunu said: "Isn't there a beauty in our house? Doesn't the emperor care about the beauty?"
