After crossing, she was forced to become the first assistant

Chapter 40
20 taels of silver?

Does Wei Xingzhi think that his Marquis Mansion is a cornucopia?Can you just take out 20 taels?
Mrs. Hou covered her flushed cheeks that were slapped with tears, she pushed Xiao Bohou and said, "Isn't your Lao Shizi's cousin an imperial merchant? You can find a way with him, we can't leave Yulin alone." Don't you care?"

Xiao Bohou looked gloomy, shook off her hand and walked towards the mansion.

I thought that if I avoided going to court these days, I would be able to escape all matters related to disaster relief.

Unexpectedly, when things came to an end, she was spoiled by her own daughter.Now if he sues the emperor with a single piece of paper, the emperor will not only ask him why he didn't donate money, but also condemn Yulin for blocking Wei Xingzhi's disaster relief.

He is a quarrelsome person!
Mrs. Hou standing at the door looked at Xiao Bohou's indifferent back, put down her hands and let out a cold snort.

A father who doesn't even care about his daughter's life or death!
He doesn't care, the Qin family will always take care of it, Yulin is the wife of the eldest grandson of the Qin family, she doesn't believe that people in the Qin family can turn a blind eye.

"Come on, I want to enter the palace and meet the Queen Mother."

The smell of soup and medicine in the Compassionate Ning Palace has not been broken since the death of the first emperor.

Madam Hou stood in front of the gate of the Palace of Compassion and Ning, covered her mouth and nose with her sleeve and frowned.If she hadn't asked for something, she would never have come here.

Although the Empress Dowager is said to be the emperor's biological mother, she is not close to her, and in addition to her terminal illness, she can't stand in the palace.

Fangruo came out from the inside, saw Mrs. Hou greeted her lightly, and led her in.

The Empress Dowager was wearing a soft silk cotton-padded jacket, lying on her side on a bed made of pineapple wood, and the incense table with three curved legs was filled with the fragrance of tranquility, slightly suppressing the smell of medicine in the room.

"Sister." Madam Hou bowed her knees to the Queen Mother.

The queen mother is her husband's cousin, so she has some connections.

"En." The Queen Mother opened her eyes tiredly, "Why are you here?"

"Sister..." Madam Hou pursed her thin lips, her eyes were covered with tears, she put the handkerchief on her lips, and sobbed softly, "Sister, Yulin... Yulin was kidnapped by Wei Xingzhi."

The Queen Mother frowned, "Wei Xingzhi kidnapped Yulin?"

She knew Yulin's girl's temperament, she was perverse in front of her, but she was very aggressive in Qin's family.

And Wei Xingzhi, after getting along with her a few times, she doesn't look like a very reckless person, there must be some reason for this.

Mrs. Hou said with tears, "Sister, Yulin went to send Chang Bai to Jizhou today, but when she arrived at the gate of the city, she was kidnapped by Wei Xingzhi, and her face was hurt. people."

The queen mother sat up straight, a trace of thought flashed across her pale face.

"Wei Xingzhi kidnapped Yulin for no reason?"

Mrs. Hou's heart trembled slightly, "The servants in this mansion said that when Yulin saw Wei Xingzhi arguing with Chang Bola at the gate of the city, he was out of breath for a while, so he talked too much. Auntie, you also know that Yulin is just a talker. Bad, not bad at heart."

The Empress Dowager looked straight at Mrs. Hou, and after a while she looked away indifferently.

"You should also take care of her. After marrying into the Qin family, she has nothing to do for two years, and the grandson of Qin's parents is not allowed to take concubines. If this is left to ordinary people, they will have divorced their wives long ago."

Madam Hou's face froze from crying, what is the Empress Dowager doing here?
"Sister, of course I know this, it's because Yulin has a bit of a domineering temper...but this time it's Wei Xingzhi..."

The queen mother interrupted her, "Wei Xingzhi is an imperial envoy for disaster relief, and Yulin is so brave enough to offend a courtier, or is he the chief assistant? Isn't it your mother who connives? The Ai family can't help you with this matter."

She is not a fool, the 20 taels ended up not in Wei Xingzhi's pocket, but in her son's treasury.

Besides, the 20 taels were sent to Jizhou for disaster relief to buy her son's reputation.

How could she help this idiot.

"Sister, Yulin is also your niece after all."

"Damn." The Empress Dowager gave her a cold look, "The Ai family doesn't have much time now, these things are beyond the control of the Ai family, and the front and back palaces are not under the control of the Ai family."

Disappointed from the Empress Dowager, Mrs. Hou walked in a hidden corner of the palace, the pity on her face disappeared, she cursed so much that she almost didn't point to the Empress Dowager's name.

"Bah, it's useless at critical moments. My Yulin family has called her aunt for so long. When she was seriously ill and lying in bed, Yulin was still by her side. Now that something happened to Yulin, she just sits by and does nothing."

"It's really ruthless! Thinking that you are superior, you don't recognize anyone? You still talk to the Qin family. Does the Qin family have anything to do with her?"

The maid following behind her wanted to stop her a few words, but she knew her wife's temper, and if she spoke rashly, she might get slapped.

When she was scolding vigorously, a maid wearing palace clothes suddenly appeared in front of her, standing in front of her with a full smile.

"Madam Hou." The servant girl slightly bent her knees.

Madam Hou was taken aback, and when she saw that it was a maid, she said angrily, "What are you doing?"

"My mother has invited me, maybe it can relieve the resentment in my wife's heart."

Madam Hou's eyes twitched slightly. This maid's clothes are all expensive, and her manners are very good. I'm afraid it's something that only the lady in the middle palace can have.
Her eyes moved slightly, and her squinted eyes arrogantly followed the maid to Jingren Palace.

Cheng Wansu was sitting at a crimson mahogany table in the hall, looking softly at the teacup filled with mist in the green glaze cup on the table.

Although she was wearing the queen's clothes, she had a quiet and unsullied temperament all over her body.

"The concubine sees the empress empress, and the empress is a thousand years old."

Cheng Wansu slightly bent the corners of her lips, turned her head and said softly, "Madam, you don't need to be polite, just sit down."

She stretched out her hand to squeeze the arm of the pot, poured a cup of tea lightly, "Longjing before the rain."

Madam Hou held the teacup and took a sip, "Your lips and teeth are indeed fragrant."

Cheng Wansu smiled, "I heard something happened to Yulin County Lord?"

Speaking of this, Mrs. Hou lost the intention of tasting tea, "To be honest, Yulin was taken away by Wei Xingzhi, with injuries on his face. Wei Xingzhi's guy hurt Yulin very badly. The Qin family doesn't care about such things! It's as if my Yulin is not his daughter-in-law."

"Madam, calm down." Cheng Wansu said, "This time it is indeed Yulin who made the mistake first. Since she wants 20 taels, then give it to her, and don't delay Yulin's injury."

"But..." Mrs. Hou curled her lips, "My Lord Hou regards money as his life, how could he be willing to give Wei Xingzhi 20 taels."

"Parents have far-reaching plans for their children. How could Lord Hou leave Yulin alone? Ma'am, you are in a hurry to go to the doctor." Cheng Wansu's eyes were soft and moist like spring water.

"Then do you have to give her 20 taels..."

"Of course I have to give it." Cheng Wansu took a sip of tea, and said as if pretending to be unintentional, "This 20 taels is not a small amount. If it is lost, lost, embezzled, or something happens , that is her responsibility."
