The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

"Brother, Lord Marquis! I won't say much else. I'm going to take out all the account books over the years, check them, and separate the families!"

The second lady put on an attitude of not giving up until her goal was achieved, and ignored Ping Xihou's angry expression of wanting to kill someone.

For so many years, no one in this house dared to point at Ping Xihou's nose and scold him. Today, when he was called out by the second lady, Ping Xihou stretched out his finger and shook it for a long time before saying: "You, you, you, you are so presumptuous."

It doesn’t matter whether the second lady is presumptuous or not, she can’t suffer any loss.

She was determined to check the accounts and separate the family, not even a moment later, otherwise she would ask the clan elders to come over and make a comment.

"Brother is so ignorant of the facts. I would like to ask if he and his sister-in-law made false accounts together and transferred the company's money to your eldest brother's name.

Dad, Mom, you died so early. Back then, you told us not to separate the two houses and take care of each other. Who would have thought that the two elders of you two kicked off, and the eldest brother plotted against us like this, and all the money from the father-in-law was transferred to the big house. Now, if our families are separated, we may not be able to share even a single tile in the second house, father, mother! Open your eyes and take a look. "

The second lady cried hoarsely, and Ping Xihou rolled his eyes angrily and almost fell to the ground.

Mr. Qin Er was on the side trying to make peace: "Brother, don't be angry. Madam, please stop saying a few words..."

Meng Wenyao finished handling the matter in the meeting hall, and went with Xiao Wang to wait for Mrs. Wang to take medicine.

As soon as I put down the medicine bowl, a woman ran in in a panic and shouted: "Madam, something happened."

After she finished speaking, she saw that Meng Wenyao was there and she immediately stopped talking. Mrs. Wang raised her eyes and looked at Meng Wenyao and said, "You all should go back."

Meng Wenyao pretended not to hear anything, bowed and left with Xiao Wang.

As soon as she walked out of the main courtyard and said goodbye to Xiao Wang, she asked the maid next to her: "What happened in the house?"

A woman hurriedly stepped forward to answer: "I don't know what's going on. The second lady is making noises about splitting up the family. She is checking the accounts in the accounting room now."

Meng Wenyao covered her mouth and laughed. Suddenly she realized that this place was not far from the main courtyard. She quickly straightened her expression and sighed: "Everything is going well for the family. With the second aunt making trouble, the family may not know what kind of chaos it will be, and it will happen again soon." It’s the Chinese New Year, I’m really worried, so we won’t go back to the room, but go to the front yard to wait for the eldest son to do his duty.”

Meng Wenyao and a group of girls and women stood at the archway of the front yard waiting for Qin Muyang. This place was not far from the accounting room, and they could clearly hear the noise in the accounting room.

The screams of the second lady, Ping Xihou's roar and the crackling sound of abacus all sounded very pleasant to the ears.

This place is considered to be the first line of eating melons, especially when a group of people behind you are listening together. By the time evening comes, there may be no one in the Hou family who doesn’t know about it.

Not long after, Qin Muyang came back with a chill all over his body, and Meng Wenyao hurriedly ran to greet him.

Qin Muyang didn't expect that Meng Wenyao would be standing here to pick him up. In a blink of an eye, Meng Wenyao had already buried herself in his arms.

"Why are you standing in the wind and waiting? Someone bullied you today?"

Meng Wenyao raised her head and said with aggrieved and worried face: "Husband, something happened in the house."

Upon hearing this, Qin Muyang looked cold and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I have been managing the house with my second aunt these days. Normally, I am in charge of the account books. Today, my second aunt suddenly said that she also wanted to look at the account books. As a junior, I couldn't refuse, so I had to give it to my second aunt.

Unexpectedly, the second aunt found out about her mother's misappropriation of public funds. Now she is settling accounts in the accounting room and is making trouble to separate the family. It's all because of her poor health and failure to keep a close eye on the accounts. "

Qin Muyang wanted to laugh for no reason. The person in his arms dared to throw water in the second lady's face. How could he not even be able to read a ledger?

It was obvious that he deliberately let the second lady see it and caused the second lady to make trouble. She felt aggrieved.

However, Qin Muyang understood Meng Wenyao's careful thoughts very well. He had already been dissatisfied with Mrs. Wang towards her parents' family and towards her second son.

Meng Wenyao did this, and he also agreed in his heart. He did not pick out the matter himself. Knowing that the second wife took the lead, his wife still had some sense.

"It's okay. The second aunt has long complained about my mother's help for the Wang family. Even if there was no account book matter, the second aunt would have made trouble to separate the family. I don't blame you."

"Really?"

"Really, don't worry, I'll take care of everything. You go back first and I'll go to the accounting room to take a look."

Meng Wenyao returned to the backyard with satisfaction, and couldn't help but hum a little tune happily.

When she got to the room, she was bored, so she recruited a few maids who often ran errands, and gave them 500 Wen each.

"It's cold. You go buy some food and wine and invite people you know to eat. You don't have to wait in the room today."

Several people's faces were red with excitement. They didn't have to be on duty in the cold weather, and they also had reward money to go out to drink and eat. Is there such a good thing?

Soon, in an unknown room in the Pingxi Hou Mansion, several maids and women gathered together to drink and talk. Without waiting until the next day, everyone knew that the Madam had vacated the Hou Mansion to support her natal family over the years. The Second Madam Years of patience have finally broken out, and now they are making trouble to separate the family after checking the accounts.

The next day, on the way to the meeting hall, Meng Wenyao heard people talking everywhere, and the corners of her mouth raised unconsciously, thinking that she couldn't hide it anymore.

Little Wang didn't know at all that no one would run over to her so coldly and tell her that she was being pointed at all the time on the way to the meeting hall and wondered whether she was not dressed appropriately?

When they arrived at the meeting hall, Meng Wenyao followed the family motto that family scandals should not be publicized, summoned all the housekeepers in the inner courtyard, and ordered: "Second Aunt is not feeling well. She will rest for the next few days. You must restrain the servants everywhere and don't If you gossip and spread rumors that shouldn't be spread, I will never let you go lightly if it ruins the reputation of the Marquis Mansion."

The stewards raised their heads and secretly glanced at Mr. Wang, then muttered: "Yes."

When the stewards went down, Xiao Wang asked curiously: "What's wrong with Second Aunt? What rumors are circulating in the house?"

How can this be said? Meng Wenyao turned her head to look at little Wang. She was wearing bright clothes and a gorgeous headdress. She was really young, beautiful and good-looking.

How could she say such disgusting words to a pretty little girl? She smiled slightly and said, "I don't know. I just heard that my second aunt ran to the front yard and had a quarrel with my father yesterday."

Little Wang's eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost, and he said in disbelief: "Second aunt is possessed by evil spirits. Why did she go to the front yard to make a quarrel? Second uncle is also serious. If he doesn't stop him, what if his father gets angry and punishes second aunt?" It’s not to make her lose face, it’s the New Year soon, and if word spreads in the capital, she won’t feel comfortable going out to visit relatives.”

Meng Wenyao lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and said calmly: "Yes, if the commotion breaks out, everyone in the capital will know about it, and it will be a bad year, and it will be too shameful."

Little Wang still looked like she couldn't believe it, and asked Meng Wenyao to guess what kind of madness the second lady had.

Meng Wenyao smiled and said: "Don't talk nonsense about elders. Things have been taken care of. It's time for mother to get up and take medicine. Let's go there."

"it is good."
