Chapter 1194

Xu Jinbai looked at Mingyue dotingly, "My lady is excellent!"

Lian Wenhao didn't want to see the young couple sticking together, and angrily scolded, "Men want to discuss important matters, women should hurry back to the backyard!"

Mingyue not only didn't leave, but sat down instead, "You have to show an attitude when you ask for help, you have been preaching since you entered the door, and you don't even serve good tea!"

"Presumptuous!" Master Lian shook his beard, slapped the table and shouted, "Who asked you!"

Mingyue giggled, "I misunderstood, father doesn't need 10 taels of silver turnover!"

"You, you..." Lian Wenhao's fingers trembled, he was desperate at the moment, and after the crisis was over, he would take care of this unfilial daughter.

"Sister, don't stand there stupidly, come and sit down, treat me as if you're at home with my father, you're welcome!" Mingyue greeted.

Xu Jinbai went over and sat next to her.

The well-behaved daughter is disobedient, the honest son-in-law is also rebellious, and Master Lian's beard is shaking again.

He tried his luck again and again, "Now that you know what I want you to come, what is your plan?" He glared at Xu Jinbai.

Mingyue quickly pulled his sleeve, signaled Xu Jinbai not to speak, and then sighed, "Father, you used to have such a great image in my daughter's heart, but I never thought you would be corrupt!"

"Nonsense, I was framed!"

"Really?" Mingyue teased, "Then you must be an upright and honest person, and you have never accepted bribes!"

Lian Wenhao's facial expressions were too much today, his muscles were trembling uncontrollably. It is a custom in the officialdom to pay filial piety to officials. He didn't mean to embezzle on purpose, but he was caught by someone.

Seeing that his expression was wrong, Mingyue smiled and said, "That's because someone deliberately framed him. Dad has been in the officialdom for many years, who did he offend and want to do so?"

This matter, Lian Wenhao is also puzzled. Although he is pedantic and old-fashioned, he is quite smooth in the officialdom. It should be said that he is very suitable for the officialdom.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to be in his current position with no family background, stroking his beard, and being silent for a moment, "Women don't understand the affairs of the officialdom!"

"I just ask you, are you willing to take 10 taels of silver!" At this moment, he can see that the son-in-law listens to his daughter, which makes him more confident.

"10 taels is not a small amount. If we want to take money, we must figure out the situation." Mingyue took it easy.

"Hmph! What do you want to know!" Master Lian was upset.

"For a mere 10 taels, you are willing to spend the capital." Mingyue's voice changed, and her eyes showed sarcasm.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Even if the eldest sister is divorced, she is still the daughter of the official family. She has been your favorite since childhood, but you are willing to let her marry into a merchant's family as a common wife."

Mingyue smiled, "A flat wife is not considered a wife at all, but is actually a concubine. If you are a sister, you will be a concubine for your brother-in-law. If you tell me that you are disgraceful, I am also quite embarrassed!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Master Lian was furious, "What flat wife, what concubine, what does this have to do with your sister?"

He really didn't know that in the plot, the original owner had already died of dystocia. Although he left behind three daughters, the Xu family didn't recognize her, so it was difficult to get 10 taels of silver easily.

At the time of desperation, Lian Jinchai took the initiative to stand up and said that he would be Xu Jinbai's successor, continue to marry the two surnames, and keep his official position.

Lian Wenhao was very moved, feeling that the eldest daughter had been wronged, and Lian Jinchai was willing to do the sequel in order to repay her parents' love for many years.

After she married, Xu's family took the money and let him solve the troubles. Since then, Lian Jinchai has been favored even more.

This time, Mingyue was alive and had a tough attitude. The mother and daughter had no choice but to propose to be equal wives. They didn't get along with Master Lian, so he didn't know.

"Didn't dad know?" Mingyue pretended to be surprised, poured beans into the bamboo tube, and said everything.

He was not happy to learn that his old wife and beloved daughter surrendered their identities for the 10 taels of silver.

It's all right for the second daughter not to be favored, the eldest daughter is the jewel in his palm, even if they get married and divorce, they can marry well, so why should they be equal wives.

He slapped the table, "Ridiculous, I will never agree to this matter!"

"So father was kept in the dark, alas, mother is too confused, how could she do such a thing, it is related to the reputation of eldest sister! Fortunately, it is my family, and the matter did not spread, otherwise you will lose all face Already!"

Mingyue continued, "Those outsiders who don't know, think that you pushed the eldest daughter into the fire pit for your own official career!"

"Stop talking, there is no need to mention this matter again!" Lian Wenhao's face darkened even more, "Don't talk about your eldest sister, let's talk about money first!"

His eyes were bright, and he looked at Xu Jinbai with a sense of persecution.

After thinking about it, if the father-in-law is not really corrupt, he can help. After all, it is good for him to have a father-in-law who is an official.

Xu Jinbai had already planned in his heart, but he couldn't take out the money quickly, he had to let them know how grateful he was, and make up for what he owed his wife in the past.

Deliberately hesitating, "10 taels is not a small amount. Although my son-in-law has a little property, but..."

Before he finished speaking, Mingyue interrupted, "My husband! This matter is related to my father's career, even if I sell everything, I can't shirk it!"

The man hesitated, why did the wife change her mind?

Master Lian, on the other hand, felt relieved, and was ecstatic that his daughter understood righteousness so well, but he heard Mingyue's voice change.

"Money is a trivial matter. You must always know who is harming someone behind the scenes. Otherwise, even if the money is settled this time, there may be someone who will continue to do it. What should we do next time?"

"It's easy to hide a sharp spear, but it's hard to defend against a hidden arrow!" Mingyue was worried.

Lian Wenhao was convinced that the second daughter, who was usually silent, actually had such thoughts, "I will investigate this matter!"

"One person counts the disadvantages, and two people count the longs. Now that you are here, why don't you help Dad analyze it!" Mingyue said, "Could it be that you offended someone!"

"I was thinking about it at home, and I thought of a possibility, maybe it was the ghost of the Marquis of Wenchang!" Mingyue was sure.

Seeing the old man's serious face, Mingyue added fuel and jealousy, "The eldest sister has divorced!"

Mentioning the situation of the eldest daughter, Master Lian was furious. His daughter was dignified and virtuous, with good looks. The youngest son of the Marquis of Wenchang was more valuable, but he was ignorant and promiscuous, not worthy of his precious daughter.

Before he could stand up for his daughter, his family actually wanted to divorce his wife. After hearing the news from his daughter, the Lian family went directly to the door to argue with each other, and finally settled.

"Because of your sister's matter, his family is angry to frame me on purpose!"

"Why did eldest sister reconcile, is there some inside story?" Mingyue asked.

"Chen Tianyou is such a bastard. He snubbed your sister, but beat her up and said that she was jealous and disrespectful to her elders. If she wants to divorce her, I can only talk to Marquis Wenchang for reasoning. I changed it to reconcile and divorce for the sake of both sides' face."

Mingyue pretended to be sad, and sighed, "Eldest sister is too miserable. She married a year earlier than me. Although I have no son, I have given birth to three daughters, but she has no male and half female. Now she is separated again. I don't know what will happen in the future." what!"

Xu Jinbai quickly understood Mingyue's implication, and nodded in agreement, "Could it be that the Hou family divorced his wife on the grounds of childlessness."

Lian Wenhao's face twitched. To be honest, he also suspected that the eldest daughter would not be able to give birth, but Jinchai cried and complained that Chen Tianyou refused to enter her room and stayed alone for several years. It would be strange if she could give birth to a child.

Only then did he come to the door forcefully and change the divorce from his wife to divorce.
