What Shen Tianshu did was soon learned by Shen Zhonglei through Ping Niang's inadvertent disclosure.
"Shu'er is a kind child just like her mother." Shen Zhonglei couldn't help but sigh.
"Isn't it? The eldest girl saved the third girl's life before, and now she is spending her own money to make clothes and jewelry for the third girl, and she wants to take her to the Lantern Festival Banquet at Prince Rui's Mansion. After I heard about this, , I went to give money to the eldest girl, but the eldest girl didn't accept it at all, and said that the master had already given the money. She and the third girl were both the master's daughters, so she could use the third girl, and her biological sisters could do the same. Already."
"You don't have to worry about this. Looking back at how much money Yunhui spent, I will find a way to replenish Tianshu. I can't let the child suffer."
"I'm not worried about this, I'm just worried about the second girl..." Ping Niang hesitated, "Does the master really not intend to let the second girl go?"
"What are you going to do!" When he mentioned Shen Yunyao, Shen Zhonglei immediately became furious. "You are such a careless thing. I get angry when I think of her. She is evil-minded and stupid. I really don't know how her mother taught her. Let her go. Prince Rui's Mansion? Are you going to embarrass me? What if she gets dizzy and does something outrageous, and it won't hurt our whole family?"
"But if the eldest girl and the third girl both go, I'm afraid the second girl won't agree..." Ping Niang asked cautiously.
How could Shen Zhonglei not understand Ping Niang's little thoughts? He glanced at her sideways and said with a half-smile, "Just put your heart into your stomach. Now that the clothes and jewelry are all made, could it be that Yun Yao won't go if she doesn't let her go?" If she dares to make trouble, I will send her back to her hometown and let her stay with her mother and learn the rules!"
With Shen Zhonglei's words, Ping Niang felt much more at ease, and said with a smile: "As for my concubine, the third girl should take the time to learn the rules and practice her manners, so as not to be embarrassed when the time comes."
Just when Shen Zhonglei was about to say something, he saw Mo Ze walking in from outside.
"Sir, my wife sold a shop, and someone just came to the Yamen with documents to complete the formalities!"
"Seriously?" Shen Zhonglei asked with a frown.
"The name on the house deed is not Madam's, but Grandma Guo's."
"Ask someone to send the documents to the study, let me take a look." Shen Zhonglei said and got up and left Ping Niang's yard.
Ping Niang didn't expect that Shen Zhonglei actually sent people to monitor Xu's every move. She thought she was really angry this time.
She walked around the room several times, hesitated for a long time, and finally went out and went straight to the main room...
The Xu family finally sold the shop and planned to add some more, collecting a thousand taels of silver to give to Xu Yihao.
"That shop is in a good location. I sold it in a hurry this time and was pushed down hard by the price. I really suffered a big loss." Mrs. Xu felt distressed looking at the paperwork for selling the shop. "If we slowly find a buyer, we can sell at least one hundred taels more." silver."
But Xu Yihao wanted to fight her all the time, so she could only spend money to buy peace.
Mrs. Xu handed the thousand taels of silver notes to Hanqiao and said, "Hurry up and send the banknotes and the maids to Yihao. The family has already sent letters to remind you. If you don't let it go anymore, If he spends his time in Yongzhou Prefecture, if he misses the New Year celebrations at home, there will be a quarrel in the family."
Nian Qiao held the banknote and asked hesitantly: "Madam, are you really going to give those four maids to Master Ciao?"
Mrs. Xu leaned on the bedside with a headache, waved her hands and said: "It's just a few maids, they're not worth anything, just give them all to him!"
Hanqiao thought for a while and finally said: "Madam, forget about the other three, but Chunlan's mother is Aunt Jiang in the old lady's room. If you give it to young master Biao like this, just in case the old lady asks about it later.
…”
Aunt Jiang is Mrs. Shen's hairdresser. She has been with the old lady for at least twenty years and has won the old lady's trust.
Just like that, I gave him to Young Master Ciao. If Aunt Jiang found out later that she had said something in the ear of the old lady while combing her hair, Mrs. Xu's life would probably not be easy.
"So what if I ask, should I sell her or beat her to death? She likes to climb high branches. Now that she is with the master, wouldn't it just fulfill her wish? Would the old lady still want a woman who combs her hair?
Can’t my daughter offend me?”
Mrs. Xu now just wants Xu Yihao to be sent away as soon as possible, and she wants him to agree to anything.
Hanqiao usually had a good relationship with Chunlan, and knew that she didn't want to go to Xu's house with her young cousin, but seeing Xu's behavior, she didn't dare to persuade her. As soon as she turned around and went out, she bumped into Ping Niang, who was rushing over.
"Oh, why are you so anxious? You don't even have eyesight when you walk!"
"Miss Hanqiao, I'm so sorry. I had something urgent to find my wife and I didn't see you coming out of the house." Ping Niang quickly supported Hanqiao and apologized repeatedly.
"Madam is not feeling well. We just need to take a rest. Let's talk about it later if there is anything else." Hanqiao was not happy at all and did not dare to get angry with Mrs. Xu, so she just took it out on Ping Niang.
Seeing that Hanqiao refused to let her go, Ping Niang wanted to turn around and leave. Anyway, Xu was caught by Shen Zhonglei, so she couldn't be blamed.
But Mrs. Xu is the mistress after all, and Shen Tianshu is just a girl who may get married in a year or two.
She didn't dare to put all her money on Shen Tianshu, so Xu had to win over her.
"Miss Hanqiao, it's really an urgent matter, a very urgent matter." Seeing that Hanqiao had no intention of getting out of the way, Ping Niang had to get closer and whisper, "Master knows that a shop under the name of Grandma Guo has been sold.
, I have already asked someone to go to the Yamen to pick up the documents and come back. I am afraid that I will come to see Madam for verification soon. I am here to deliver a message to Madam! You tell Madam, I have to leave quickly. If the master
If you find out, you should know that I have come to report the news."
Hanqiao started to see Ping Niang coming over to talk, with a very impatient look on her face. When she heard that this was what happened, she immediately panicked and quickly turned back to the inner room to tell everything Ping Niang had just said.
Xu family.
"Master, are you sending someone to check me?" Mrs. Xu was frightened and angry, and panicked in her heart. Her mind was confused, "Then, what can we do now?"
Fortunately, Hanqiao was calmer than Mrs. Xu, and thought for a moment and said: "Madam, I only know that you sold a shop, but I don't know what you did with the money. The banknote is still in our hands, as long as we don't admit that it is
It’s for Mr. Ciao, and I have no evidence.”
"Yes, yes!" Mrs. Xu said quickly, "Take out the banknotes quickly and put them in the box in the cabinet."
As soon as Hanqiao put away the banknotes, the curtain on the door of the main house was lifted, and Shen Zhonglei stepped into the house from the outside with a sullen face.
He threw a stack of documents in front of Mrs. Xu with a "snap" and said coldly: "What's going on? Please explain it to me!"
