"Grandmother, it's my granddaughter's unexpected to have come to such a field. I think it's all my fault. But I really don't know how to describe the pain in it! If it only affects my granddaughter, no matter what the cost It's just that the granddaughter is unfilial, she hurts her grandmother and mother, and hurts the reputation of her younger sisters, but you have to say it anyway."

Xiao Jinxin knelt on the ground, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, her eyes were red, her eyes were stubborn when she raised her head, suppressing her resentment.

At this time in spring, there was a slight chill on the green brick floor, Bai Shi took the futon from the servant girl's hand, and advised: "My sister is pregnant, don't just kneel on the ground, it will be more comfortable on the mat."

However, Xiao Jinxin shook her head, pushed it away, and said expressionlessly: "Sister-in-law is kind, but I dare not bear it. If I leave Li's house, it will be nothing but a sin. If it is gone, it will be gone."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed one after another, Mrs. Tai paused for a while before continuing to fiddle with the beads.

Hearing these cold words, Mrs. Liu burst into tears even more, if not for her daughter-in-law supporting her behind, she might have rushed over and cried.

However, Shan's eyebrows were raised up, unmoved, with a cold look in his eyes.She also has a daughter waiting in her boudoir, if Xiao Jinxin loses her morality and is abandoned and comes back, no girl in the Yongning Hou Mansion can marry a good family, so even the fourth wife who is usually good-looking and good-natured is also angry.

But before she could speak, she heard Mrs. Tai say indifferently: "In our Xiao family, we don't have the habit of sitting back and watching our aunts and grandmas being wronged in the husband's house without making a sound, but there is no reason to come to the door to make enemies indiscriminately."

As the old lady spoke, she glanced at Mrs. Liu, who looked away guiltily, and wiped her forehead with a veil to cover up, looking at her daughter with worried eyes.

Xiao Jinxin's eyes moved, and she lowered her eyes as if she was thinking.

Shan Shi just moved the corners of his lips ironically.

However, at this moment, Aunt Mei walked in swayingly with the help of the maid, her eyes slid around on the ground, and paused for a long time on Mrs. Liu's heartbroken face before she covered her mouth and lowered her eyes. The corners of his mouth curled up pretendingly and he bowed his body and said, "Oh, my concubine made tonic soup for my second aunt. I thought that my third aunt had it too, so I filled a bowl of it. This tonic soup is my second aunt's favorite, and it's ready now." This time, Prince Liang's Mansion followed her closely and brought over fresh ingredients, so Grandma Sangu should try it too."

But now who is in the mood to listen to her, everyone just ignores her. Because Xiao Jinlan is pregnant with the heir of King Liang, this aunt is even more frivolous.

Aunt Mei rolled her eyes, and seeing that everyone was ignoring her, she said to Xiao Jinxin who was on the ground earnestly, "Grandma Sangu, what is more important than the child in your stomach? Your body is more important. You and Grandma Second Gu are sisters. Why don't you let me go?" The second aunt interceded for you, presumably the Duke's Mansion will give Liang Wang's mansion some face, right?"

Xiao Jinxin cast her eyes aside, "Don't bother."

"What are you doing here?" Mrs. Liu looked at her coldly.

Aunt Mei smiled, "This concubine is concerned about the third aunt, and see if the second aunt can help. After all, today is different from the past!"

Lin Xi was speechless, where did she have such a big face?

"Uncle, it's time for the father to enter the city." Zhao Yuanrong reminded in a low voice.

Lin Xi frowned in embarrassment. He naturally hoped to welcome his sweetheart back in person, so he was a little excited.However, when his eyes fell on Mrs. Tai's hand that was tightly held in front of her knee, Lin Xi's eyes froze for a moment, and the beads were moved one by one, but the hand was trembling uncontrollably, as if trying to bear it. ...

Lin Xi sighed, the man in charge of the Yongning Hou Mansion was not there, so how could he go away at this moment.

"Rong'er, why don't you send someone to see you off first..."

However, before Lin Xi could finish speaking, Zhao Yuanrong's head shook like a rattle, "Rong'er don't want to look at your father's big black face."

Now the son is not important, the one in my heart is the treasure at hand, if Lin Xi doesn't go, he is the only one, and he has been cold-faced and frozen to death after half a year of lovesickness.

Lin Xi couldn't help but let him know whether to laugh or cry, but this mess of grievances and grievances between rich and powerful families was really tiring.

One is stubborn when he is about to die, and the other adds to the chaos when he can't get on the stage.Fortunately, his Lin Mansion is clean and there are no such troubles, of course he will not touch those in Prince Rui's Mansion.

"Shut up and back off."

Mrs. Tai seemed to have endured enough. Although the volume was not loud, her tone was rarely severe, even with a hint of dangerous coldness.

In an instant, the room seemed to be silent because of this sentence. Aunt Mei was stunned for a while, but it was rare that she obediently retreated out without another utterance.She had a feeling that at this moment, even if Xiao Jinlan knelt down and begged for mercy, she would not be able to keep her if she said one more word.

Aunt Mei ran away, but Mrs. Liu couldn't feel any joy. Her eyes were full of worries about her daughter.

For so many years, the old lady seldom issued orders as she got older, so she became more and more comfortable as the head of the house, but when the old lady really spoke, no one in the whole house dared not listen.

The first-line granddaughter, besides Xiao Jinxin, there are Xiao Jinlan, Xiao Jinshan, Xiao Jinyi...

"Xin girl." Mrs. Tai looked at Xiao Jinxin with her eyes, and her slightly cold words were extremely heavy, "You haven't figured out what the situation is now, if you don't tell the truth, just keep messing around and wait until the Duke's government gets all the evidence tomorrow On the bright side, it's useless to talk about the child in your belly. And the old lady has no choice but to wrong you for the sake of the reputation of other girls in the Hou's mansion."

Xiao Jinxin's pupils shrank suddenly, and her fingers unconsciously stirred together.

Mrs. Liu fidgeted anxiously, and kept signaling to her daughter, "Xin'er..."

At this time, Mrs. Bai spoke, and she persuaded in a soft voice: "Third sister, look at the expression of Mrs. Guo Gongfu today, she knows what you have done, or she has already grasped your handle. Now only We were kept in the dark, which is of no benefit to you. You might as well come out honestly and discuss the countermeasures together. Even if you go to court, you will know how to deal with it. You are the lady who went out of the Hou's house, and your reputation is closely related to the Hou's house. Related, if no one goes out to talk nonsense, it’s better than losing preparations and being shaken out directly, and the wind is stronger, don’t you think?”

This makes sense, "And..." Mrs. Bai looked at the old lady, and said directly, "The person who serves you has already explained almost everything before, so there is no need to hide it anymore. Grandma and mother know it well."

Xiao Jinxin raised her head slowly, with tears rolling down her silent cheeks, she said: "Grandmother, mother, fourth aunt, sister-in-law, when I married, I just wanted to live a good life, even if I was a stepmother, I would admit it. Brother Yu's I paid for food and clothing according to the previous practice. I didn’t move, because I was afraid that someone would say that I was being treated lightly. But the old woman would say that I was cheating. She was just a nanny, and I was just being taught a lesson. All of a sudden, Brother Yu sued the father-in-law, and the mother-in-law took over without even asking me, and didn't pay attention to me at all. Although I was handed over to host the central feed, there was nothing left in the warehouse A few taels of silver, I am a new daughter-in-law, how can I recognize the whole person when I first arrived, there are hundreds of people in the Duke's mansion, food and clothing expenses, relatives and banquets are all waiting for me, I was so anxious that my mouth was full of foam, and I told Li Rangyi, Instead, he reprimanded me and said that I don't know how to manage the family. My mother-in-law looked at me coldly, and everyone waited for me to make a fool of myself... The more I was like this, the less people would see me clearly, so I had to grit my teeth and use the dowry money to survive... "

These Lius knew early on that Xiao Yuheng had gone to the Duke's Mansion many times for these reasons, but it was still extremely sad to say it again.

Just hearing this, this girl is quite pitiful. It is not easy for women in ancient times to say this, Lin Xi sighed in her heart.

Xiao Jinxin looked up at the old lady again, and the latter also looked at her indifferently, so she gritted her teeth and continued, "There are mostly slaves who rely on the old to sell the old, even the granddaughter's money can't satisfy their greed. When I moved, I didn't even bother to move the soles of my feet without money, so my granddaughter used some tricks to find out where they were wrong and snatch the job, and replaced them with her own people, so she became more comfortable, isn't it wrong..."

Mrs. Tai waved her hand suddenly, making Xiao Jinxin shut up, she said: "I've said so much in vain, let me ask."

"Mother." Liu called out and looked around, especially Lin Xi and Zhao Yuanrong.

Mrs. Tai glanced at her lightly, but ignored her.

Lin Xi couldn't sit still, "Grandmother and grandson are in the next room."

Mrs. Tai nodded slightly, and Mother Ren led Lin Xi and Zhao Yuanrong to the next door.

"Mother Ren, go and watch inside, if the old lady feels unwell, call me."

Mother Ren immediately responded, and ordered the servant girl to serve tea before entering the main room.

Regardless of the fact that the next door is really just a wall, the words inside can be vaguely passed on.

"Baojing Bank is 10 taels, and Jufang Bank is 8 taels, remember?" Madam Tai said lightly.

Xiao Jinxin raised her head suddenly, "I kept it. But...that's my dowry." She looked at Mrs. Liu, "My mother secretly stuffed it in the bottom of my box."

Bai Shi frowned suddenly, but Liu Shi didn't see it, but nodded slowly.

Shan suddenly laughed, and did not hide the sarcasm in her eyes, "Ping girl married into Prince Rui's mansion back then. Ten thousand taels of silver, the old lady subsidizes 3 taels, so there is still a private house of 2 taels secretly, oh, mother, you have to check the accounts of the Marquis Mansion carefully!"

Bai quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Fourth Aunt, you got it wrong. My mother gave some body parts to my sister, but there are so many. My mother was just surprised and couldn't figure it out." Then she hurriedly said to Xiao Jinxin seriously, "Third sister, this is not a small sum, as long as there is a pair of accounts from the Duke's government, it will be clear, and it cannot be fooled."

Xiao Jinxin glared at Bai Shi angrily, and said, "There is still a lot of dowry industry, so the future is..."

Mrs. Tai didn't want to listen to the twists and turns, and continued: "The three-storey shop on Qingfang Street in the west of the city, the four-entry house on Yangliu Street in Hulu Lane, Guangping Farm, and some other properties, the old lady doesn't remember that your mother bought them for you. dowry."

Seeing Xiao Jinxin's terrified eyes, Mrs. Tai said coldly: "You think you did it cleverly, and your name is all under your slaves. It's a pity that you will know who it is before you ask someone to check it. Go, put Zhang Quan’s family brought them in.”

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Jinxin froze her body immediately. She turned her head and saw a woman in her 40s who followed Qi's mother in with her head down.

"Speak." Qi's mother ordered.

The Zhang family knelt on the ground, and immediately explained honestly, "These properties originally belonged to the Duke of Song's mansion. At home, the Duke's wife handed over to the third aunt. Only half a year ago, the third aunt asked the slave to transfer a few hands and finally hung it under the name of the slave."

Xiao Jinxin had her heart full after eating it, but after Zhang's family finished speaking, she was taken out by Qi's mother, so she could only shrink her neck, bowed her head and did not speak.

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this. It was unheard of for a lady of a family to secretly transfer her husband's property to her own name, not to mention the dowry of the first wife, which was to be left to her daughter and son. Xiao Jinxin dared to do so.
