The cannon fodder of Quick Travel just wants to make money to survive.

"Oh, why not!" Mrs. Lin was not frightened by Mrs. Zhao's sudden outburst, and asked as usual.

Mrs. Zhao, who wanted to put pressure on her to resolve the matter, was so confused by Lin's attitude that she almost forgot that she was angry.

"Ms. Lin, don't think that just because of family affairs, you can be unscrupulous. No matter what, you are still the daughter-in-law of my Wang family, and I will always be your mother-in-law, so you have to listen to me.

You are still holding on to this matter today. Don't blame me for going to your Lin family to ask how your Lin family raised a daughter-in-law who was unfilial and disobedient to her mother-in-law. "

Seeing Mrs. Zhao's threatening words, if her upbringing hadn't allowed her to do so, she would have rolled her eyes to express her disdain.

"Mother, there is no need to threaten me with this. My Lin family is full of military generals, and the daughters I have raised are all dignified and dignified. They are not the ones who crawl into bed as soon as they are young. If you want to come to my Lin family, just go." It’s just time for everyone to understand that you, the Wang family, doted on concubines and destroyed their wives, and now your concubines are in charge of the house!”

Although it is not a serious crime to spoil a concubine and destroy a wife, people with such unhealthy behavior will still be despised by others.

People in the world have a clear distinction between wives and concubines, and they can pamper their concubines, but the respect that a legitimate wife should have cannot be lost.

Especially for those who are officials, if they are found doting on concubines and destroying their wives, the official has basically come to an end.

Mrs. Zhao naturally understands this truth, otherwise, no matter how much Aunt Zhao, a close niece, has tried to please her in front of her over the years, she wants her to take it back from the Lin family and hand over the family's money to her management. .

She didn't even agree. The housekeeper could do it. He only managed the servants in the house and did some chores. Even if word spread, it could be said that he was helping the mistress, which was harmless.

In recent years, Mrs. Lin has been doing nothing, and the servants in the house all thought that Aunt Zhao had surpassed Ms. Lin as the head mistress and became the real mistress of the house.

Even if this is not the case, with Aunt Zhao's glamorous appearance, who would believe that Aunt Zhao is just a housekeeper? Aunt Zhao has no money.

And Mrs. Lin would not give money to Aunt Zhao at will.

Nowadays, her dignity is maintained by private subsidies from her and her son.

But who would believe these words if she said them!

Therefore, Mrs. Zhao did not dare to let her go out and spread rumors about Lin's words. Then her son's career would really be ruined.

Mrs. Zhao felt aggrieved again and sat down on the stool, glaring at Mrs. Lin angrily.

"Madam, I saw Xin Ming sneaking out of the house last night with something in his arms. It was too dark at the time, so I didn't see it clearly. But out of curiosity, I followed her and saw Xin Ming leaving. Went into a pawn shop.”

Just when the two sides were arguing, Mrs. Zhao's side was about to lose.

A maid stood up, and this person was Xiuzhi.

You have to ask why Xiuzhi dared to expose his identity without fear of being held accountable by Lin afterwards.

This has to be related to Wang Yi. A few days ago, he thought he could fly up the branches, but he was afraid of something happening midway.

She came up with a way, that is, as long as she hooked up with the young master and entered the young master's room first, she would definitely become the young master's aunt without waiting for the madam's arrangement.

It would be best to give birth to an heir before the main wife comes in. In the future, for the sake of the child, her status will be more stable.

It has to be said that Xiuzhi still has some brains and knows that a maid as a concubine has a very low status, but after having a child, the result will be different.

But the bright future she envisioned stopped at the first step.

Xiuzhi quietly entered Wang Yi's room. She just took off her clothes and lay down on the young master's bed. She was full of expectations and waited for Wang Yi's arrival. But when someone came, when she saw her, her face changed and she left quickly without allowing it at all. She stopped.

Later, Xianghe and a group of people dragged her out naked and beat her severely.

Xiuzhi will never forget that humiliating experience.

After this incident, Xiuzhi knew that she was finished, she could not become an aunt, and she was even more despised by her young master.

Waiting for her fate, you don't have to think about it to know that she will either be driven away or sold.

Either way, it's not a good choice.

Therefore, instead of waiting to be dealt with, it is better to take the initiative to control your destiny.

The eldest lady promised her that as long as the matter was completed, she would not only get one hundred taels of silver, but also help her leave Madam's place.

With Wang Zhiwei's protection, Xiuzhi dared to stand up and stab Lin in the back.

"Xiuzhi, you're such a creepy dog/thing, how dare you betray my wife." Xianghe, who was walking from the backyard, heard Xiuzhi's words when he entered the door.

Immediately, there was something I didn't understand. He was so well prepared. Sure enough, there was a traitor around him.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Xianghe went up and pinched Xiuzhi's neck, slapped Xiuzhi several times, and finally kicked her hard.

"That's enough, Mrs. Lin, take care of your people. How do you act like a shrew in front of so many people?"

"Xianghe, come back, don't get your hands dirty."

Xianghe, tired of beating, clapped his hands. "It's ma'am."

"Go and wash your hands, they are dirty." Xianghe understood what Madam meant.

Smiled and nodded. "It's really dirty!"

The meaningful dialogue between the master and the servant made Xiuzhi, who was beaten all over, full of resentment but unable to vent it, feeling very frustrated.

"Okay, the farce is over. Let's bring the thief here first." Mrs. Zhao had a headache. She had known that this matter would be so complicated.

If she won't come, isn't it just a longevity lock? It's not worth a few dollars, so just throw it away.

Now she just wants to resolve this matter as soon as possible so that she can go back to rest.

This is what Wang Zhiwei has been waiting for. "Shiqing, take some rough ladies with you."

"Wait a minute, who allowed you to be so arrogant in my yard?" Mrs. Lin roared angrily, and the women who had not yet taken action looked at each other, not knowing who to listen to.

"Mother, it's already this time, do you still want to protect the thief?"

Wang Zhiwei looked at Lin in disbelief.

"To handle a case, you need to have evidence. It would be too arbitrary for Miss Zhiwei to convict you just by listening to a slave's words. Even if the government handles the case, it is not as efficient as you. Miss Zhiwei is really worse than that official. "

Xinming saw that things were almost progressing, so he came over.

"You still want to quibble, okay, I will convince you today." After saying this, Wang Zhiwei asked someone to bring over a clerk from the pawn shop.

The person who came was not tall, thin and small, and his face was not that honest. His eyes were wandering around, and there was greed in his eyes, which made people very uncomfortable.

Madam Zhao had a very poor sense of this person, and she blamed her granddaughter for not being able to bring something like this into the house, even if she had to find witnesses.

It's really an eyesore.

Especially the pair of tricks that she was looking at wildly, she really wanted to dig them out and feed them to the dogs.

What the hell, even her dignified Shangshu Mansion can look at things like this.
