Talking about the Yao Family Winery, everyone in the neighborhood knows about it.
Mr. Yao has been in better health recently and can get out of bed and walk around.
Naturally, Mrs. Yao also heard about it. Knowing that the second wife might not be able to do anything well, she came to see Mr. Yao for advice.
Mrs. Yao complained: "It's you, sir, who cares about her father's kindness back then. I treat her as an adopted daughter, but she doesn't repay kindness with hatred, and now she has caused this kind of thing. Then Mrs. Liu is a poor family, I don't know
When will we call?"
Mr. Yao slapped the table and cursed: "It's really a disaster. She won't be able to survive anywhere. I should have let Mengying deal with her that day."
But it's too late to say anything now. Who can let yourself be soft-hearted? It's not easy to get rid of it now.
Pomegranate interjected from the side: "Big girls are smarter, why not ask the big girls."
Mr. Yao nodded and said, "Go and call Mengying."
Mengying had already prepared it, and as soon as the visitor went to pass the news, she came over with her maid.
Just as Mengying was about to say hello, she heard Mr. Yao say: "No need, no need." She coughed and said, "Do you know about your second uncle?"
Mengying nodded, indicating that she already knew.
"Look at this, what should we do?"
Mr. Yao Er is a little embarrassed to say that he caused the disaster, but he doesn't know how to deal with it properly, and his wife is clueless.
"It's better to leave this matter to my daughter. If the second aunt comes to find us, just say she is my maid and ask her to come to me to argue."
Mr. Yao nodded, thinking that this hot potato was finally thrown out, and Mrs. Yao also breathed a sigh of relief.
But they actually took into consideration whether it was appropriate for Mengying, a daughter of a boudoir, to deal with such scandalous matters.
Unexpectedly, the second lady came later than Mengying expected, after noon.
The second Mrs. Yao brought a group of people, including Mrs. Yao and the second master. They were followed by Shi Lanxiu, whose face was red and swollen, and they were obviously here to investigate.
Mengying took a closer look and knew that Shi Lanxiu had suffered a lot.
"What day is it today? Several elders are here."
"What are you doing standing around? Why don't you serve tea quickly?"
Qingluo understood and went to invite Mr. Yao and Mrs. Yao. They had to show their faces.
"Eldest niece, stop being pretentious. No one comes to drink tea with you. Your maid failed to abide by her duties and flirted with the master. You have to give me an explanation today." The second lady said with an angry face.
Mrs. Yao has already scolded the second master, saying that they have fallen into the trap set by others.
"Second Aunt, by the way, I just found out about this, so you must allow me to examine it."
Mengying walked up to Shi Lanxiu with a pleasant look and asked softly: "Sister Shi, I have always regarded you as my sister. If you are wronged, just say it and I will make the decision for you."
Shi Lanxiu stepped forward and knelt down with tears streaming down her face: "Girl, this slave has a grievance!"
"Speak slowly. All the elders are here today. Let's start from the beginning. What are the grievances?" Mengying's face was calm and not angry, and she really acted like a leader.
"The new snacks made by the girl that day were shared by several gentlemen. I went to the wine shop to deliver food to my cousin, and I brought it over to the second gentleman by the way.
But the second master insisted that I taste the new wine that had just been brewed. The slave refused, so she drank some, but who knew..."
Speaking of this, Shi Lanxiu almost choked up and couldn't speak: "But who knew that the second master actually got the slave drunk, and when I woke up, it was already...already..."
"What's happened?" Mrs. Yao just helped Mr. Yao to the door.
"I have been defiled by the second master." Shi Lanxiu covered her face with her hands and cried.
Hearing this, the second lady stood up and cursed angrily: "You lied, you must have failed to seduce the young master, and you deliberately tried to seduce our master."
Mrs. Yao coughed, and the second wife realized that she had made a mistake and kept silent.
"My servant swears to God that I will never tell lies. There is a spirit three feet above my head. If I lie to you in the slightest, I will be struck by thunder and die!"
He knelt down and crawled next to Yao Qingjiang again, crying:
"Second Master, what do you usually say? Do you want to force this slave to die?"
Yao Qingjiang has been scolded by Mrs. Yao, and he himself feels that this matter is not simple.
But looking at Shi Lanxiu's tear-stained little face, he couldn't bear it. So he turned his head and replied in a quiet voice: "That's nonsense. You were the one who seduced me."
Shi Lanxiu stared at Yao Qingjiang for a while, then suddenly laughed miserably and said: "The eldest young master expressed his feelings to me at the beginning, but I knew my status and didn't dare to climb high. That's all. Now you won't believe anything I say."<
/p>
Shi Lanxiu stood up tremblingly, then knelt down in front of Mrs. Yao and Mr. Yao, and kowtowed three times in a polite manner.
"Lanxiu's parents died when she was young. If it weren't for the pity of the master and his wife, this servant would have died long ago. Now that she has lost her reputation and is afraid of being pregnant, she will live without a face in this world. Your kindness can only be repaid in the next life.
”
Mr. Yao sighed and turned away.
Shi Lanxiu straightened her dress, stood up, lowered her head and hit the pillar.
"Stop her quickly." It was Mrs. Yao who said this. That sentence, "I'm afraid she's pregnant" made her change her mind.
The Yao family is not prosperous, and the second master Yao now only has one son and one daughter. If there is a boy in his belly, he must not be allowed to die young.
Yao Qingjiang was also stunned. He walked up to Lan Xiu who was stopped and asked with a happy face: "Are you really pregnant?"
Lan Xiu nodded and said: "This month, before the monthly letter arrives, I dreamed of a python in my arms a few days ago, and I told the second master."
Mrs. Yao didn't say anything on her face, but she was excited in her heart. When she was pregnant with Yao Qingjiang, she also dreamed of a white snake entering her arms. She asked someone to interpret the dream, and the interpretation was: I am happy to have a precious son.
Yao Qingjiang also forgot his mother's instructions and shouted: "Bring in a chair quickly!"
Just a moment ago, I was still going to hit the person I wanted to kill, but in the blink of an eye - the mother is more valuable than the son.
The second lady stopped, "Wait a minute, you said you were pregnant, you got pregnant, who knows whose child it is."
Shi Lanxiu's pear flower brought the rain towards Yao Qingjiang and said coquettishly: "Second Master..."

How could Yao Qingjiang resist?
He angrily scolded his wife: "Don't talk nonsense, the child is naturally mine."
Then he ordered the mother-in-law beside the second wife, "What are you doing standing still? Why don't you hurry up and help Lan Xiu back to the old house?"
Mengying looked at this scene, her eyelashes fluttered shut, and a smile appeared and then disappeared at the corner of her mouth.
The old lady glanced at the second lady and didn't dare to move.
A crisp voice suddenly sounded, "Wait a minute, second uncle, you just want to walk away like this?"
Mr. Yao scratched his hair and said, "Niece, it's my second uncle who's being rude this time. Give me Lan Xiu's body deed. When you get married, my second uncle will definitely give you a big gift." p>
Mengying smiled coldly: "Second uncle, you didn't give me any money for the separation, and now you have to draw cakes for your niece again?"
"Here is the body deed." Mengying took out Lan Xiu's body deed from her sleeve.
Mr. Yao was about to pick him up, but she withdrew her hand again.
"One thousand taels of silver."
Several people in the old house said in unison: "One thousand taels!"
"Exactly. Including the silver from the separate families, the total is five thousand taels. Within three days, collect the five thousand silver and come over. Sister Shi, you can take it away."
"Niece, you are really talking like a lion. How can you buy a maid for 1,000 silver?" Mr. Yao said with his hands behind his back and angrily.
"Sister Shi was raised as a young lady, her status is not below mine, she is not a maid."
"If I don't give it to you, what can you do?" Yao Qingjiang thought to himself, what if he robbed the person?
Mengying deliberately said calmly: "Well, then I can only give this deed to Sister Shi's uncle and aunt. I heard that they are famous local scoundrels.
They don't care about other people's futures, so they might go to their eldest brother's academy.
When the time comes, don’t blame me.”
"How dare you!" This time it was the second lady who said sternly.
Mengying retorted and said sarcastically: "What can I not dare to do? The separation of families is written clearly, but Second Aunt, you have refused to repay the debt, and now you want to rob people, do you really think that the people of our Dongfu are all screwed up?" "Okay, stop arguing!" Mrs. Yao, who had not spoken for a long time, shouted.
"Boss, what do you think?" Mrs. Yao looked at Yao Qingshan.
Mr. Yao coughed and said, "Now that Mengying is in charge, I'm not feeling well, so I won't get involved." After saying that, he walked away without waiting for Mrs. Yao to answer.
"I have to take care of our master. I am supporting you." After Mrs. Yao finished speaking, she also rubbed oil on her soles and slipped away.
Mrs. Yao was so angry that her teeth were itching and she banged her cane hard: "Okay, okay, you guys are really good!"
For a long time, you could hear a needle drop in the hall.
It was Mrs. Yao who broke the calm: "Girl Ying, don't be too tight-lipped and show off whatever trump card you have. A bunch of flesh and blood, what's the point of making a sea of hatred because of that yellow and white thing?" "The old lady is extremely rich, so naturally she doesn't know the suffering of me, a poor person. Yellow and white things are not worth mentioning to you, but to me, they are really just waiting for help.
Again, for five thousand silver, my second uncle will take him away."
After finishing speaking, he deliberately made a long note and added: "Oh, by the way, I also gave you a few affectionate letters. Can't you guess? They were written by the eldest brother to Sister Shi."
"You..."
Yao Qingjiang looked at Shi Lanxiu in disbelief, turned his head, and walked towards Mengying aggressively.
"Back off!"
Yao Qingjiang was sternly scolded by Mrs. Yao.
Mrs. Yao stood up, stared at Mengying with her cloudy eyes and said: "Send Butler Song to the old house, and the money will be sent to you every penny."
"It's not impossible for the old lady to want Butler Song, but I won't be fooled if you don't keep your word." Mengying said with a smile.
Mrs. Yao sneered and said: "In five days, I will clear my life and money. If I break my promise, my shoulders will be covered with yellow sand and my bones will be incomplete."
Mengying bowed and said with a smile: "Farewell, Madam!"
