After all, reason prevailed. If the slap just fell, then no matter how rogue Liu Yiyi was, she would become an unfilial person who bullies concubines in the world. At this time, Yang Jinxi was a little glad that she did not
I was so angry that I became dizzy for a moment.
"Miss." Lu Yun looked at the third brother, then opened the door and entered the room and replied in a deep voice.
Yang Jinxi glanced outside the house. The girls and boys standing in the courtyard all lowered their heads timidly. Then she turned to look inside the house. She saw Liu Yiyi stroking her hair coquettishly, with a faint look on her face.
She smiled, as if she was sure that there was nothing Yang Jinxi could do against her.
The pink koudan on her fingertips stung Yang Jinxi's eyes. She turned around and ordered: "Go and invite the aunts from the second and third bedrooms, saying that I have something important to discuss."
"Yes, Miss." Lu Yun lowered his head and was about to retreat.
"Wait a minute," Yang Jinxi thought for a while and then added, "Tell them that anyone who fails to show up today for any reason will have their monthly salary deducted for the whole year. Go ahead."
The second wife, Mrs. Zhao, relied on her daughter to marry into a wealthy and powerful family in the south of the Yangtze River. She was as arrogant as her eldest aunt. She usually bullied the third wife, Mrs. Meng, but she was just a paper tiger. For her, Yang Jinxi had never
They all turn a blind eye.
The third wife, Meng, was originally the dowry maid of her biological mother Yuan. My grandfather told me that when Meng unexpectedly became pregnant with her eldest sister, her father was furious and wanted to get her out of the house without anyone noticing.
In my father's words, the mistress still had no heirs, but she still had a maid to marry her. If she told them, others would laugh at them. People in the Yang family had no rules, so my grandfather, who had always been kind, did not say anything to dissuade him. In the end, it was hers.
Mother Yuan tried her best to keep Meng, and even asked her father to take her in as her aunt.
She has a calm temperament and seldom conflicts with others. In Yang Jinxi's impression, Meng only had one dispute with others, which was when her eldest sister reached the age of marriage.
It was rare for a concubine girl to find a suitable husband, especially the eldest sister, whose temperament was exactly the same as that of the Meng family. She was quiet and talkative, and she never argued with others. Her mother had to worry about this matter a lot. She finally found a husband.
As a minor official, he was willing to marry his eldest sister into the house as a concubine, but was turned away by the jealous Zhao family. Yang Jinxi still remembers the hatred that flashed on Zhao family's face when Meng family slapped her face.
However, even though she had never been loved by Yang Jing in her life, she still had no worries about food and clothing. Her mother always regarded her as a relative. Later, she married her eldest sister to a businessman. Although she was not from a wealthy family,
But I heard that I am living a prosperous life now.
"Second Aunt, Lu Yun is waiting outside and says he wants to see you." Xiaocui, the maid next to Second Aunt, hurried in to report, disturbing Zhao who was sleeping.
After hearing this, she still held her forehead and remained motionless, and said sarcastically: "Lu Yun? My master survived the catastrophe and didn't celebrate. What are you doing here? Do you want me to go there in person?"
"Second Aunt, I am here to invite you to sit in the courtyard on the orders of Third Miss."
Lu Yun's crisp voice suddenly sounded outside the door, causing Mrs. Zhao to frown, then she jumped up, put her hands on her hips and said, "This Lu Yun is getting more and more unruly, isn't he? He dares to shout loudly outside the door.
"
When she heard the news that Yang Jinxi fell off a cliff and died, she secretly celebrated for a while. She didn't expect that the old man was so ignorant that he fell into the cliff without knocking her to death, and continued to come back to torture people.
He signaled Xiao Cui to open the door. Although he thought so in his heart, he still stepped forward and replied with a smile: "It's very hot and tiring, so I told the third girl that I wasn't feeling well and wanted to rest for a while."
According to the past, as long as she said this, Lu Yun would not embarrass her anymore, because Yang Jinxi really had no reason to go against her, but today she really saw a ghost.
Lu Yun just smiled faintly, lowered his eyes and replied: "The third lady said that she is waiting there. If someone doesn't go, then that person's monthly salary will be deducted directly. The slave has already brought the message to
, retreated first."
As soon as she heard about the silver, Ms. Zhao immediately became energetic. When she saw Lu Yun completely leaving, she shouted loudly without caring about her image: "She is crazy! -"
"Then, second aunt," Xiaocui asked cautiously, "then are we still going?"
"Nonsense! Why don't you go? No fool can get into trouble with money!" Mrs. Zhao took two deep breaths, calmed down the breath in her chest, and walked out, followed closely by Xiao Cui.
But the third aunt, Meng, was just the opposite of her. As soon as Lu Yun walked to the door, a small figure ran up to him with a smile: "How come Sister Lu Yun is willing to come see me?"
This girl was picked up by the third aunt on the roadside a few years ago. She has a cheerful and naughty temperament. Seeing that the eldest daughter was no longer around, the young lady acquiesced to let the girl live in the Yang Mansion. On weekdays, everyone also
Like to tease her.
Luyun touched her head affectionately, squatted half-body, and asked with a smile: "Qiao'er, is Auntie in the house?"
At this time, the third aunt's personal maid just came back, carrying a wooden tray and said: "Yes, my aunt said it was hot and wanted to drink something cool, so I went to the kitchen to make a bowl of honey water. Sister Qiao'er, you
Let’s play in the courtyard for a while. Sister Luyun, come in with me.”
"Thank you, Sister Hubo." Lu Yun looked at Qiao'er running carefree in the courtyard, then smiled and entered the house.
In the room, Meng was embroidering something with her head down, concentrating on it. When there was an extra bowl of water next to her, she just gave a faint hum. Amber and Lu Yun looked at each other and smiled, and said helplessly: "Auntie, Lu Yun has something to do with you."
After the words fell, Meng raised her head, took a closer look at the person coming, stood up and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Lu Yun, sit down."
"No need, Third Aunt. Third Miss invited several aunts to sit in the courtyard, and specially asked the slaves to deliver the message." Lu Yun smiled faintly.
The fact that the second brother was called over early in the morning has spread throughout the house. At this time, she summoned these people together. Could it be that she had something to announce? Thinking of this, Meng immediately nodded and said: "Okay,
I’ll go with you right now.”
Probably because of the recent growth of new flesh, Yang Jinxi, who was sleeping with her head propped up, suddenly felt that the wound on her chest was vaguely itchy. She frowned and seemed a little uncomfortable.
"Third Miss," Liu Yiyi saw that she was serious and changed her smile, "Doctor Liu's medicine should be ready. I'd better order someone to carry the second brother back and lie down in the third brother's room.
It’s not very good after all.”
Yang Jinxi was too lazy to answer her, stood up and leaned on the back of the chair with a faint smile: "My aunt arranged for my adopted brother to work in the accounting office of Hele Building and became the accountant. I guess she has a lot of money and doesn't look down on the Yang family.
It’s already gone. Auntie, you can leave if you want. Anyway, it’s not that important without you today.”
She said it lightly, as if she was talking about something insignificant, but Liu Yiyi's heart was like a rolling river, unable to calm down for a long time.
"Third Miss, please don't talk nonsense." Liu Yiyi pretended to be calm and replied, "It was the accountant who had dirty hands and feet. I happened to catch him and fired him. If you don't believe me, you can ask the manager. I
This sworn brother has excellent moral character. If it hadn't been for him these days, Helelou would have been in chaos."
This is the first time Yang Jinxi heard that the moral character of a man who idles around all day and relies on women to live his life can be called 'superior'.
She seemed to have heard a big joke, covered her mouth and said with a smile: "It means that I should also thank my aunt and thank you for your adopted brother? But how to thank you? How about I give up my position as the head of the family to you?
Auntie, what do you think?"
"I..." Liu Yiyi was told something that had been on her mind for many years. She opened her mouth anxiously but could not make a sound, while Yang Jinxi just smiled like this until there was a knock on the door.
"Miss, all the aunts are here." Lu Yun said softly.
As Yang Jinxi stood up, she vaguely saw Yang Chengxuan's fingers moving slightly outside the quilt. She moved her gaze upwards and looked at him for a moment before confirming that he had woken up.
"Come inside and talk." Yang Jinxi raised her head and ordered loudly towards the outside. She took a deep look at Yang Chengxuan who was pretending to sleep, turned around and sat down. She had always regarded Yang Chengxuan as an ignorant brother, but now it seems that,
With such a mother by his side teaching him through words and deeds, it would be better for him to understand some truths as soon as possible.
After everyone was seated, Yang Jinxi slowly said: "I have invited all the aunts here today because I have important things to talk to you all. The maids, including Lu Yun, should listen carefully." She
He glanced up and continued with a smile, "If you say you want to leave Yang's house today, I will definitely give you a generous sum of money so that you will not be embarrassed if you return to your parents' home."
Her words immediately caused an uproar. The maids lowered their heads and whispered, shaking their heads. They didn't understand the intention of the third girl's words. A woman's family is like water thrown out. Whether her life is good or bad is her own.
Damn it, how could an old lady like Xu run back to her parents’ house? Wasn’t she deliberately trying to choke people?
"Third Miss, what do you mean by this? Do you want to drive us away?!" Liu Yiyi couldn't hold her anger at all. She stood up angrily and asked her loudly.
"That's right, Miss Third, are you issuing an eviction order to us? There is no reason to return to your parents' home after you are married!" Ms. Zhao also shouted from the side, but her voice was smaller than Liu Yiyi's.
A little bit.
Yang Jinxi smiled lightly, stood up and said word by word: "This is not what the aunts think about themselves. All the things you have done are not telling everyone that you want to leave?"
Hearing what she said, Mrs. Zhao immediately lost her confidence, sat down angrily, and muttered in a low voice: "No, I didn't do anything to regret the Yang family, so I won't go back."
It is true that she has not openly slandered Yang Jinxi, but she just likes to stir up trouble in Liu Yiyi's ears. Liu Yiyi herself was born in a brothel, and she doesn't even know if her biological parents are alive. How can she talk about "returning to her parents' home"?
"After all, we are also aunts in the mansion. Why do we have to leave when you ask us to leave? The third girl is too arrogant!" Liu Yiyi waited for her fiercely, speaking reluctantly, as if she wanted to take her to pieces right away.
Eight yuan, "After being the master for so many years, I think you don't even know the rules!"
"Rules?" Yang Jinxi sneered, "My aunt actually told me the rules, so please tell me how much money you have given to your sworn brother in private over the years, and where did the money come from? You will spend a whole day
The people who eat, drink and have fun are arranged in the accounting room. Who knows what your intentions are? While I was away, you allowed your son to beat my brother. Ask yourself, have I taken care of you mother and son all these years? "
Liu Wei, who had just come to get the medicine, happened to hear this and couldn't help but stop, his eyes gradually filled with smiles.
"Everyone in this room, I didn't give you any part of the money you spent. If you feel that you have been wronged in the Yang Mansion, don't wait until we get tired of each other. If you leave earlier, you may be able to retain more friendship. I
We must not tolerate people with different intentions." Yang Jinxi said solemnly.
"This slave does not want to leave the Yang Mansion." Lu Yun took the lead and knelt down and responded loudly, and all the servants in the room knelt down.
"This slave doesn't want to leave the Yang Mansion!——"
"This servant doesn't want to leave the Yang Mansion!——"
The whole room was shouting, one after another, one after another.
Liu Yiyi was speechless. She quickly glanced at the people kneeling in the room and swallowed nervously. Just when she was about to speak, Yang Jinxi spoke again.
"To go or not to go?"
These words were obviously meant for Liu Yiyi. Liu Yiyi raised her eyes and happened to meet Yang Jinxi's shining eyes. She suddenly became frightened and hurriedly lowered her head to cover up her confusion.
