Daming female local tyrant

Lu Family, Fu Hai Tang.

Feng couldn't listen anymore, so she spoke out to stop her daughter-in-law Yuan from continuing.

She said solemnly: "Daughter-in-law, we have been deceived by that celestial master for so many years. Jinglan was killed and left home for many years. You came, and I was about to tell you about this, but you treated your own granddaughter indiscriminately." It’s really wrong to say such chilling words!”

"..." Yuan's face showed astonishment when she heard the words. She didn't expect her mother-in-law to say such words in front of her, especially in front of her grandson and Jing Lan who just returned to Lu's house. It made her feel ashamed.

She looked at Feng Shi in surprise, and after a while she asked Feng Shi shyly why she said that.

Feng Shi looked at Yuan Shi and asked, "Do you know Taoist Daoyi?"

Yuan thought about it, and said that she knew, whether it was the old Taoist priest who was in Qingxuguan in the city, who served in front of the late emperor.

With a "hmm", Feng told Yuan all the stories she had heard from her great-grandson Cheng Ze, as well as the fact that she had called Dao Yiren to give orders.

After listening to her mother-in-law's words, Yuan's eyes widened and she was speechless for a long time.

She was thinking, was she really deceived by that Zhang Tianshi back then, and then caused her granddaughter Jing Lan to be taken out of the Lu family, and she has been living outside for more than ten years.Moreover, because Jinglan was taken away, her son's first wife Tan was very sad. After giving birth to her grandson Chengze, she died of illness within a few months.

Yuan Shi knew very well that if her mother-in-law's words were true, then she would really be considered a sinner. She believed the nonsense of the celestial master, which indirectly caused Tan Shi's death and directly caused Jing Lan's departure from home.

Moreover, after the mother-in-law took Jing Lan home, she came to Fuhai Hall without saying a word, and when she saw Jing Lan, she verbally implied that she was the nemesis of the men of the Lu family and should not come back to the Lu family.

No wonder the mother-in-law would blame herself after hearing this.

But Yuan Shi also felt very wronged, because how did she know that Zhang Tianshi back then was a nonsense liar who only knew how to cheat money.At that time Zhang Tianshi's reputation was very famous in Jinling, and there were rumors in the Lu family's house that Jing Lan was the nemesis, so she asked the woman in charge of her, Xin Shi, to find a powerful Taoist priest in Jinling City to calculate the scene. Lan's life.Xin went to Zhang Tianshi, and Zhang Tianshi's order was similar to the rumors in the house, so Yuan believed him.

She felt that no matter which woman stood in her position, she would not treat what Zhang Tianshi said as non-existent. She had a husband and son, so she couldn't afford to take that risk.

Sending Jing Lan out of the Lu family is the safest way.

She also knew that her daughter-in-law Tan would be sad when she lost her eldest daughter, but there was no way, she had to do it.As for Tan's dystocia and illness, her mother-in-law didn't want to do that either.

In the end, after seeing her granddaughter Jing Lan who had been living abroad for fifteen or six years, the mother-in-law didn't tell herself about finding a Daoist real person to re-order her life. It's reasonable to be rude.

Yuan shi lowered her head and curled her lips secretly, dissatisfied with her mother-in-law who told her granddaughter Jinglan the truth so late.

However, when she opened her mouth, what she said was a very sincere confession.

She said to Feng Shi: "Mother, if it's true what you said just now, that Master Zhang is a fake Taoist priest who is ignorant and nonsense, and only knows how to cheat people's money, then Jinglan is really suffering. She is not born with evil spirits, It's not from our Lu family, so it's the best thing for you to have someone take her back to the Lu family. The daughter-in-law did what she did before for the sake of the men of our Lu family, it's not that she doesn't like Jing Lan..."

Jing Lan, who was standing beside her, could tell that Yuan Shi said these words very reluctantly.

Jing Lan felt that her biological grandmother, Yuan Shi, not only didn't like her, but was extremely indifferent.

Regarding this point, Jing Lan can also understand that her granddaughter was sent out of the Lu family since she was a child, and she has been like a stranger to Yuan Shi for the past fifteen or sixteen years.In addition, she was the evil star who once threatened her husband and son, and her own mother had died early, so it was no wonder she had feelings for him.

After listening to Yuan Shi's words, Mrs. Feng said: "It's good that you can think this way. Jinglan has been living in the countryside for many years and suffered a lot. Now that she is back, we have to treat her better and make up for her."

Yuan Shi hurriedly nodded and said yes, she will arrange a residence for Jinglan herself in a while, and pick a stable and capable maidservant to serve her, not to mention buying clothes and jewelry for Jinglan. The same is true of Jinglan.

Feng Shi kept nodding his head, and finally said: "Then do as you say."

Yuan said hello, and then said: "Then daughter-in-law, let's make some arrangements. After a while, someone will come to pick up Jinglan."

Feng said "Yes", and Yuan retired.

Jinglan and Chengze sent her out respectfully.

Yuan Shi turned around and took a few steps when Feng Shi suddenly stopped her and asked her: "Who recommended Zhang Tianshi to you to come to our Lu family to give orders for Jinglan?"

The old lady asked this...

Could it be that he suspected that someone was in collusion with Zhang Tianshi, and deliberately recommended Zhang Tianshi to come to him and said things that were not good for Jing Lan, which caused Jing Lan to be taken out of the Lu family.

Of course, Yuan Shi remembered that person back then, it was Xin Shi, her capable woman in charge, but this Xin Shi suddenly contracted a cold in the winter of the previous year, just before Chinese New Year, and died of illness within a few months.

So, Yuan Shi turned around, and respectfully replied to Feng Shi: "That man is Xin Shi, the daughter-in-law's steward. It's just that this person contracted a cold and died of illness last year."

When Feng Shi heard Yuan Shi say that Xin Shi, the woman in charge who might have colluded with Zhang Tianshi, died of illness, she couldn't help frowning, pursed her lips, and said softly: "You go."

Yuan Shi: "Yes, mother."

After stepping out of Fuhai Hall, Yuan Shi straightened up, suddenly feeling a little panicked.

She thought, the old lady just asked that question, maybe she suspected that she had harmed her son's first wife, Mrs. Tan?

After all, Xin Shi, the woman in charge who went to find Zhang Tianshi to enter Lu's house to give orders to granddaughter Jing Lan, was her confidant, and this person died last year, so there is no proof of death, and the old lady may be even more suspicious.

If the old lady really doubted herself, she wouldn't be able to clean herself up even if she jumped into the Yellow River.

If the world really harmed the daughter-in-law's mother-in-law, it would be called vicious, let alone any real evidence, just spreading such words would be enough for her to drink a pot.

Conscience, she really didn't do such a thing!

But when she walked back to Qingyuan Hall and sat down, a woman in charge came in and told her that her brother ordered someone to bring a box of things and presented it to her. .

Inside the palm-sized sandalwood box is a box of thumb-sized pearls with round tops and the same size.

Three or four months ago, her brother Yuan Yongfu came to see her as an elder sister. She mentioned to her brother that she wanted a box of high-quality pearls to make a bead chain and hairpin this year, but it was a pity to go to the famous silver building and jewelry in Jinling City. I looked at the workshop, but I didn't see anything good.

After hearing this, Yuan Yongfu said that he would go to Quanzhou recently, there are many Nanyang merchants there, and he can find good pearls for her.

A few months later, his brother sent someone to deliver such a box of fine pearls, worth at least a thousand taels of silver.It is worth more than a thousand taels when you make a move, which is considered a big deal for ordinary people.

The Yuan family is not a wealthy family. The reason why the Yuan family was able to marry into the Lu family was because her grandfather was a juren back then and had friendship with the old man of the Lu family.

After she reached the age of Ji, less than two years after she married into the Lu family, her grandfather passed away.

After the death of Yuan's grandfather, the Yuan family fell into a slump, and soon they lived in embarrassment.At this time, thanks to Yuan's use of his private money to subsidize the family, the Yuan family can continue to maintain the decent life of the Shili family.

The Yuan family really became rich after Tan's death.

After Tan's death, because of the child she gave birth to, one daughter was sent out of the Lu family, and the remaining son was still in his infancy. Of course, she and her son took over the large dowry she brought.

The Yuan family managed two silk factories and five silk shops, while her son Lu Xueshan managed the farm covering an area of ​​more than 300 mu and eleven houses.

She was a woman who had never done business before, and after taking over the dowry of her daughter-in-law Tan who had died of illness, she still used Tan's people at first.Later, her uncles and brothers came to her door in turn and said that the Yuan family should help her with these transactions, and she was really worried about handing them over to outsiders.

Yuan shi listened to what they said, and gradually replaced all the people from the former Tan shi, and inserted her relatives.After only two or three years, the Yuan family replaced the shopkeepers and stewards appointed by Mrs. Tan during his lifetime. The five silk shops and two silk factories were all managed by the Yuan family.

Since the Yuan family took over the five silk shops and two silk factories in the Tang family's dowry, when the accounts were settled before the year, the money they made was getting less and less each year, and later they even had to pawn the shops to maintain the business.

Yuan Shi didn't understand business either. Her uncles and brothers brought her account books and told her where she lost money and where books were lost. She also read the heavenly book.

Anyway, Yuan's family became richer every year. Her uncles and brothers bought houses and concubines, called slaves and servants, dressed in gold and silver, and gave her rare and valuable gifts from time to time, all around her to flatter her.

Yuan Shi didn't care about these deficits.

She is not a fool either, she probably guessed that her uncles and brothers were moths and embezzled a lot of the dowry of her daughter-in-law Tan who had died of illness.

But she didn't want to stop them from doing this. At any rate, they embezzled the money that should have been handed over to her and then to their grandson Chengze, so they wouldn't come to her to cry and complain about poverty like before, and asked her to use her own private money to supplement them. up.

Yuan believed that her daughter-in-law, Tan, who had died of illness, had a lot of dowries, some of which were taken privately by her natal family, and the rest would be given to Chengze when he grew up.

So there is no need to be serious with your uncles and brothers on this matter.

However, as her granddaughter Jing Lan returned to Lu's house, the old lady began to ask who invited Zhang Tianshi to Lu's house to order her to kill Jing Lan.Further, the old lady was afraid that she would suspect her as a mother-in-law and coveted her daughter-in-law Tan's large dowry, so she asked Xin to invite Zhang Tianshi to come and talk nonsense, so that Tan died of grief because of losing her daughter.

However, her uncles and brothers really usurped Tan's dowry and embezzled the money earned by those shops, the old lady should know...

Yuan Shi began to fidget.

The author has something to say: Regarding the comments, I actually sometimes want to reply when I see the plot being discussed.It's just that I'm afraid that the people who leave comments will think that I'm picky, why I replied to someone else's and not mine, and then get angry.

I don't know what you think, anyway, I am very grateful to those who left comments.If you guys aren't offended that I didn't reply to all of the comments, well, I'll reply to some.

This type of lily essay, I only write this one, so I will have the beginning and the end, try to play the best level, and finish it.

Finally, I am very grateful to the little angels who have been with me, mua!
