Chapter 20 The Fall of Xiao Mansion
Aniu felt that the big guy was mysterious. He came for no apparent reason and left for no apparent reason.
He shook his head, saying that foreigners all had some problems with their brains.
He picked up the feed bucket and filled it with hay for his beloved horse.
The young lady is not needed today, so he goes back to his room to take a nap.
Xiao Linglang was busy in the shop for several days and finally finished checking the account book.
Her mother originally didn't want her to go to the shop, but unexpectedly she changed her mind and asked her to learn accounting from the shopkeeper.
Rubbing her shoulders, she went to Yang Qingwan's yard to pay her respects as usual. When she arrived at the yard and saw a few people cleaning, she remembered that her mother had gone to East Street yesterday.
Xiao Linglang lowered her eyes to look at her plain white shoes, puffed her cheeks, and turned around to go back to her own yard.
"Miss, Miss, something bad has happened!" Chan was clearly reporting something bad, his tone and expression were extremely excited.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Linglang was aroused by her contrast.
Chan Xin couldn't hold back the corners of his mouth that were curled up, and he danced with excitement, leaning close to Xiao Linglang's ear and whispering, "Miss, Madam Xian from the second house just passed away."
Xiao Linglang's eyes widened suddenly, and she looked at Chan Xin in surprise, "Madam Xian is gone?"
Zen Heart Little Chicken Pecking Rice nodded, "After Madam Xian took charge of the household, she felt that the servants' monthly wages were too high, so she reduced them by almost half. A mother-in-law's son happened to be sick, and without this monthly salary, his leg became lame, and he fell into a well and drowned. This mother-in-law had only this one son, and the daughter-in-law couldn't stand it and acted crazy. Madam Xian hired a tailor to make clothes today, and she kept complaining, which irritated her."
Xiao Linglang sighed, thinking that evil would be punished.
"Let's go to the west yard and have a look."
Xiao Linglang came to the west courtyard with Zenxin, and heard crying sounds as soon as she entered the door.
She blinked her almond-shaped eyes and took a quick look. Madam Xian had been tidied up and placed on the bed. Kneeling beneath the bed were the filial son of the second room and the concubines with ulterior motives, crying loudly, but no one knew whether they were shedding tears or not.
One of the brothers from the second wife saw her, rushed over, pushed her, and yelled, "Go away, go away, we don't welcome you, it's all your father's fault. If your father hadn't set their monthly salary so high and made them greedy, how could my mother have gotten into trouble?"
Xiao Linglang was pushed and staggered, but fortunately Chanxin supported her from behind.
She pursed her lips, her eyes darkened, then she took a step forward and pushed hard.
Xiao Jishu was pushed to the ground. He looked at Xiao Linglang in astonishment. She dared to push him!
The candlelight fell on Xiao Linglang's face, leaving shadows under the corners of her eyes. Her fine eyelashes fluttered twice, and she looked coldly at Xiao Jishu.
Xiao Jishu was frightened by her eyes. Just as he was about to attack, he saw Xiao Linglang bowing to Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao, and said with a bit of grievance: "Linglang, leave immediately. Daddy has never managed the house. Grandparents are sympathetic to the servants. After mother took over, she continued the tradition of the Xiao family."
Xiao Jishu got up from the ground and was stunned. He didn't know any of this.
Mr. Xiao and Old Madam Xiao's faces had already turned gloomy. They knew that the Second House got the main inheritance and did some things not so gloriously, so they just turned a blind eye and said it was no big deal.
Who would have thought that she would actually use the servants' monthly salary? Many of the Xiao family's servants were born in the family and their appetites had long been spoiled.
After Xiao Linglang came out of the second room, her face was cold and the look of being bullied disappeared immediately.
Chanxin chuckled behind her. Even though it seemed very inhumane, he thought it was a bit funny that Madam Xian was busy all over but didn't get anything out of it and ended up losing herself in it.
"I should have left the packet of medicine powder behind. Evildoers will be punished by God." Xiao Linglang walked briskly. Being a housekeeper was not as simple as Madam Xian thought. There was money to be made everywhere. The expenses of the mansion were not small, but it was a bit unreasonable for her to want to make money here.
Xiao Linglang looked back at the smiling Chan Xin and said, "Your monthly salary is less, why didn't you tell me?"
Zenxin hugged her arms, grinned, and raised his chin proudly, "Madam made up for us. Madam said that if she really had difficulties, she would tell us in advance and let us decide whether to stay or go."
Xiao Linglang raised her eyebrows and deliberately teased, "Then my wallet will be saved."
"Miss, you must guard the private vault well. I will go through fire and water with you."
"I can't be poorer than you." Xiao Linglang begged for mercy.
At dinner, Xiao Linglang ate one more bowl of rice because she was in a good mood. She didn't mind Yang Qingwan going to East Street for a short stay without her.
After dinner, I took a comfortable bath to wash off the dust on my body, then lay back on bed and fell asleep.
Chanxin didn't know what happened today, but she somehow replaced the incense in the incense burner with the soul-soothing incense because she thought it smelled better.
As the night deepened, a cold black shadow appeared in the inner room on time. He lifted the bed curtain and looked at the beauty curled up in the soft bedding in the moonlight. Her long eyelashes cast a faint shadow under her eyelids, which trembled slightly with the rhythm of her breathing, and her chest rose and fell gently.
Tuoba Jin smelled the faint fragrance, and it was this fragrance that made her sleep deeply. He stretched out his hand to pick her up from the quilt and looked at the light person like a cat.
His eyes were deep.
By midnight, the shadows of the trees were swaying, the night breeze was blowing gently, the bamboo forest was shaking, and the bamboo leaves were rustling.
A group of people in black quietly surrounded the Xiao Mansion. The leader looked at the magnificent Xiao Mansion and curled his lips.
"The princess has ordered that no one should be spared. If anyone is alive, they will die!"
"As ordered!"
The leader waved his finger lightly, and the eyes of the people in black turned cold, and they all rushed into the Xiao Mansion.
The moonlight was obscured by a dark cloud, and streaks of gushing blood appeared on the walls of the Xiao Mansion.
The person who was keeping guard in the west courtyard heard shouting from outside and stood up to check in confusion. Just as he reached the outside of the mourning hall, he saw a flash of cold light and knelt down with blood spitting out of his mouth.
Suddenly, dark clouds covered the sky and a flash of lightning flashed in the dark night.
The men in black brought in boxes of gold, silver and jewelry.
The leader looked over at the firelight, and the tip of the knife brushed past, with a metallic sound that cut his heart.
"As expected, he is the richest man in Lin'an."
"Move away."
He turned around and pointed at the man in black, and a portrait unfolded in his hand.
"Is this one dead?"
"General, I have checked and there is no one alive in the mansion."
The man changed the subject and said, "I have never seen this person in the portrait."
The man called the general's face darkened, he kicked the man and cursed: "You can't do anything right."
Then he threw the torch in his hand backwards.
"withdraw!"
He looked at the portrait and since it wasn't there, he decided to stay there for another day or two. He had to complete the princess's order.
The fire climbed up the white wall and slowly climbed up the beams. Soon the huge Xiao Mansion was engulfed in flames.
Night and day alternated, and the sky in the east had just turned light when a carriage stopped in front of the Xiao Mansion. Yang Qingwan's eyes were bloodshot, and with the support of Xiao Yuanzhi, she barely made it to the dilapidated Xiao Mansion.
She looked at the sparks still burning the Xiao Mansion, her eyes were dry and her whole body was shaking.
After a while, two lines of blood and tears slid down her cheeks, crying bitterly. How painful it must be for her little girl who had been loved since childhood. She had just reached the age of marriage and had not yet had the ceremony of coming-of-age. She thought that she had neglected her.
Xiao Yuanzhi's pale lips trembled and she sobbed.
