Hope for luck

Chapter 164 Fierce Fighting

On the ninth day of the first month of winter, the middle door of Gao's mansion was opened wide, and servants from both sides lined up to greet him at the door. Those who didn't know it thought that some kind of distinguished guest had come to the Gao's house, and they were treated so courteously?
In the front main courtyard, Mrs. Ren, the eldest wife of the Gao family, was already looking forward to it in the hall, and there was a concubine of Gao Qiyuan, Lu Sixuan, beside her.

Gao Qiyuan seems to have gone to the government office at this moment and is not at home. Mrs. Ren is in charge of everything, so it's no wonder that he also opened the door.

When Gao Pan came out from the west courtyard, he just saw this scene, and felt a little resentful in his heart. When he returned home, he couldn't even ask Gao's servants to move some things, and he had to pay for it himself.

Right now, it's just Mrs. Ren's natal nephew, who looks so polite and enthusiastic, in stark contrast to the scene when he returned home, how can he not make him feel angry?

After thinking for a while, Gao Pan came to the main courtyard and greeted Mrs. Ren respectfully. Mrs. Ren just glanced at him indifferently and waved her hand impatiently, as if telling him to leave quickly.

"Ma'am, my nephew has to remind you that although our family is not a family that strictly abides by the rules, if anyone comes in, we will open the door wide, and it will cause jokes in his family!"

At this moment, Gao Pan is speaking only with resentment all over his body.

After hearing this, Mrs. Ren became annoyed instantly, and stared at Gao Pan:

"Presumptuous, do you think I can't think of this kind of thing? Hurry up and back down, you don't know anything!"

Now that Gao Qiyuan is not here, it is naturally difficult for Mrs. Ren to invite Gao Qiyuan, so she has no choice but to assume the status of an elder and scolded severely.

Seeing this, Lu Sixuan couldn't bear it, and when she was about to persuade him, Gao Pan said loudly:

"If my wife really wants to do this, then my nephew has no choice but to tell my grandfather. The Gao family's lintel will not lower the threshold for an unknown child!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Ren blushed instantly, trembling with anger, pointed at Gao Pan with trembling fingers and said:

"You...you undisciplined thing, what are you, you dare to teach me how to do things? Even if the Gao family is dead, it won't be your turn to be the master!"

These words were like a shrew swearing at the street, and everyone in the Gao family was scolded, and everyone in the room was a little shocked after hearing it.

"Heh, in the eyes of my sister-in-law, are your Ren family members a generation higher than our Gao family members? Our Gao family members are dead, so why don't you let your Ren family members come to make decisions in this mansion?"

Just at this moment, Mrs. Du from the second bedroom came in and said sarcastically.

Mrs. Ren was also short-tempered for a while, and she lost her sense of restraint when she was angry. After she finished speaking, she felt that something was wrong. How could she know that Mrs. Du just came here at this very moment.

"Why do you have to act hypocritically? I'm just trying to discipline him. Now that the fifth house has no elders, can I, the elder of the eldest house, say that he can't do it?"

Mrs. Ren was so angry that her chest heaved up and down, she suppressed the anger in her heart, and said calmly.

"Discipline? Disciplinary what? Brother Pan is right. When did Gao's threshold become so low? When cats and dogs enter the mansion, the middle door has to be opened? Sister-in-law, the grand master is still alive now. Family rules, you can't let yourself be the master here, right?"

Mrs. Ren came prepared, and her words were naturally sharp, so that Mrs. Ren almost ignored her airs and wanted to scold Mrs. Du directly.

However, after all, she has been the wife of the head of the Duke's Mansion for many years, and she still has a little self-restraint. She didn't jump directly, but said with a gloomy face:

"It's the first time for my nephew to be a guest at Gao's house. He should be more enthusiastic. In the future, the second brother and sister's natal family can also be like this. Why not?"

"Hmph, I'm not as lucky as you, and I don't have such a big meeting. I'm in charge of the public and the bank, and I'm also the eldest wife of the mansion. But, opening the middle door, it's nothing, I'm afraid Ah, the foundation of our Gao family will become the Ren family's in the future!"

Madam Du snorted coldly, and looked at Madam Ren coldly, as if she owed herself a lot of money.

After hearing this, Mrs. Ren was stunned for a moment, and then her face became more gloomy:
"What nonsense are you talking about? Why did the Gao family become the Ren family? Don't talk nonsense, all the accounts are recorded in the Neifangtang, how dare you wrong someone with your words?"

Madam Ren suddenly discovered that Madam Du seemed to be deliberately seeking fault, and her attitude became very dissatisfied.

"That's your own account, who dares to say it, I'm afraid you won't admit it!"

Mrs. Du still replied coldly, while speaking, she glanced at Gao Pan who was lowering her brow and pleasing to the eye at the moment.

At this moment, Gao Pan just watched coldly from the sidelines. He finally persuaded the second wife, Mrs. Du, who wanted to be a housekeeper.

After Gao Pan told her about the situation, Mrs. Du felt that these things must be revealed, at least the things that the second room will share in the future cannot just be taken by Mrs. Ren.

"You're a fool. I've been running the house for many years. When was it short of the money of each house? Do you know that our family is almost beyond our means?"

At this moment, Mrs. Ren just feels embarrassed. According to Mrs. Du's words, this family will not be able to manage in the future.

"Heh, you still can't make ends meet? You have distributed all of the public bank and the bank, not to mention it, and turned it into the property of the Du family in a disguised form. Do you pretend that others don't know? The third brother manages so many properties, so don't talk about it every year. You have to earn tens of thousands of taels of silver, so if my sister-in-law says that you can’t make ends meet?"

Mrs. Du continued to question.

After hearing this, Mrs. Ren's face, which was originally quite graceful, turned into a liver color, and her whole body was trembling with anger, as if she had just been provoked by Gao Pan's words, she said through gritted teeth:
"If you can produce evidence, I won't care about anything in this mansion. If you can't, then let's go to the Grand Master to judge and see who is right and who is wrong!"

"Okay, just wait for your words, sister-in-law. I have sent someone to invite the grand master to come out, and the third and fourth brothers are also on the way. Today, let's talk about this matter. If we don't make it clear, who Don't even think about it!"

Mrs. Du immediately took over the words and said, as if she was waiting for Mrs. Ren to say this, which made Mrs. Ren's heart skip a beat. After carefully looking at Mrs. Du, she turned her head to look at Gao Pan again.

It seems that from the beginning of Gao Pan, they seemed to be in collusion, and suddenly became a little panicked in their hearts. If the other houses made up their minds to fight against the long house, then she would be powerless to resist!

As soon as Mrs. Du finished speaking, someone came in hastily and said:

"Ma'am, Master Ren has passed the West City Gate and is heading towards our residence. It will take about two quarters of an hour to arrive!"

Mrs. Ren was very upset at the moment. She could have happily greeted her nephew whom she hadn't seen for many years, but she didn't expect that the trouble would get to this point. She didn't know how to deal with it for a while, so she waved her hand and let This time people back down.
