The medical concubine is too difficult to tease

Chapter 21 Anti-General Army

The atmosphere in the inner room was extremely quiet, and the servants had no time to retreat and did not dare to move, so they could only stand upright and feel the tense airflow in the air.

"Hey, today is just a small family banquet, why did it involve important national affairs, miss, Yue'er is still young, if you say something wrong, don't worry about it, it's alright, mother Cui, go to the kitchen to pass the meal, Let them all go down!" Lin Qingqiang broke out with a smile, shook his head secretly at his daughter, and told Mother Cui to let the servants back out, so as not to see her daughter's jokes.

It's a pity that her sweetheart didn't understand her intentions, and she was still immersed in the sentence of concubine, resentful, seeing the siblings sitting back after a break, as if nothing had happened, she became angry from embarrassment, and couldn't care less about Lin Qing. With a wink, he couldn't help but choked his throat and opened his mouth.

"Eldest sister, no matter what you say, my mother is also your elder. You are so disrespectful, and you can't even do basic etiquette. What country is it?"

Tsk!Li Ru'an looked around and sneered, "Mrs. Lin invited me here today, not to reminisce about the old days, but to see me groveling, to correct the majesty of her step-elder, ah, encroaching on the property of the first-law wife, this alone, she I lost the sense of being an elder, and I don't care about it, but it doesn't mean that you can make progress."

"What are you talking about! There is no proof or proof, so don't talk nonsense! The Gao family prides themselves on being clean, so what can Gao's dowry have to be of value?" Li Ruyue said excitedly, forgetting to see Lin Qing's unstoppable gesture.

"Heh." Li Ru'an chuckled, raised his jade hand to support his forehead, and looked at Li Ruyue with a look of foolish eyes, "Go back to the Yiyue Pavilion and have a look, how many famous paintings, red sandalwood tables and chairs, porcelain vases and jade decorations are there? Is it on my mother's dowry list? The newcomers in this mansion don't know, and you don't know either? Or you can ask your mother yourself?"

Li Ruyue raised her eyes and saw Lin Qing's flushed face and twinkling eyes. She felt shame and humiliation instantly flooding her whole body. She twisted her handkerchief and was speechless. She raised her head and tried her best to maintain an elegant posture. Complaining, if I didn't help my mother to speak, how could I be in such a mess?

In the spacious room, hearing the dirty things of the master, all the maids and mothers stood stiffly, with their heads lowered into their chests, suffocated, silently envious of the two nanny who took the young master and Miss Fourth out.

"What did Missy say? Your mother's dowry is stored in the storeroom. The ones in my room are just similar. I'm afraid Missy remembered it wrong." Lin Qing recovered and said with a stiff smile.

"Really? That's good. Those in my house are old, and I really need some new furniture. Madam Lin will bring them to me tomorrow?" Li Ru'an raised his eyebrows, looked at Lin Qing with a smile, and looked happy.

"...Okay, I'll send it to you tomorrow." Lin Qing swallowed a mouthful of old blood and said with a smile, his nails almost pierced the veil.

"Ah, and, I just came back, and I'm short of money, please send my mother's land deed to the house, pearls, jewelry, silver, etc. in the warehouse. I have a warehouse, and Mrs. Laurin has been there for me all these years Keep it." Li Ru'an smiled like a spring breeze, and her peach blossom eyes were shining.

Glancing at the group of quail-like servants, Lin Qing regretted her original intention. She intended to humiliate Li Ruan in front of her servants today, and also to show her majesty as the head of the family, but she didn't expect that Li Ruan didn't even talk about basic etiquette. , completely lost the demure and gentleness before, pressing every step of the way, if she doesn't spit out all of Gao's dowry now, she will be convicted of embezzling the property of her first wife, and she will really pay for her wife and lose her army.

"Okay! But with so many things, it will take time to sort them out. I'll send them over in a few days!"

Lin Qing gritted her teeth and squeezed out a sentence, feeling as if a knife was piercing her heart. What kind of background could she have as a concubine? In addition to the prescribed money allocated by the accountant over the years, all she spent lavishly was Gao's dowry money in the warehouse. Even the old lady and Li Yuan didn't know about the silver objects.

"Mrs. Lin is really a gentleman, so I will thank you." Li Ru'an smiled and nodded, looking at the servants, "It seems that Mrs. Lin still has a lot of work to do, so I won't bother you. Farewell, Ah Ren, and return to Anran Come on, I'm hungry."

Li Ren watched the whole process today, and finally understood what her sister said that she could handle it. He felt relieved, and responded with a smile. He got up and bowed his hands to Lin Qing, and followed his sister to the door.

"Ah, I forgot." About to cross the threshold, Li Ru'an turned to look at the stiff Li Ruyue, and asked out her doubts seriously.

"I wanted to ask you yesterday, why do you always pinch your throat when you speak? Doesn't your throat hurt?"

Jingxin Pavilion

After hearing Mama Sun's words, Fan's face showed anger, and he slapped the armrest with his palm.

"Bastard, my Li family is a scholarly family, a wealthy family, and the stepmother invaded the property behind the main wife. Wouldn't it be a joke to spread the word! I thought she was just playing around, and there was nothing wrong with her plan to come out of her stomach. But how dare she do such a shameful thing for the family under my nose!"

Ms. Sun was also shocked. She didn't expect Lin Qing to be so bold. Even if it is a farmer in the countryside, after the death of the main wife, the dowry is left to the children. Stealing while out of the house is a crime sufficient to be divorced by the husband's family.

"Call her over immediately!" Fan stood up and stomped heavily on the crutch in his hand.

Walking out of the Jingxin Pavilion, Lin Qing pinched her five fingers into Cui's mother's hand, with a gloomy look on her face.

"Ma'am, don't be so angry." Cui's mother endured the pain and said cautiously, holding a carved bamboo lantern in one hand, and sent the maid behind her down.

"Immortal, does she think it's easy for me to manage the house these years? The master has private money, but it's all used to strengthen his power and favor. How can he give me a cent? Every month the accountant allocates such a small amount of money. If I If I don’t open Gao’s treasury, my three sons and daughters will have to live like ordinary people, how can I have the airs of the sons and daughters of a prime minister? Why does she think I can manage the mansion because of it? Of course it’s money!”

"Going to divorce me! Bah! How capable does she think her son is? How much of his private money was obtained by my brother for him?"

"Madam, there are too many people talking, let's go back first." Seeing that Lin Qing became more excited and her voice was raised, Mama Cui hurriedly stopped her.

As soon as he returned to Qiyue Pavilion, he saw the emerald green bamboo in Linglong Pavilion approaching him anxiously.

"Ma'am, the second lady threw something in the room, you should go and have a look."

Lin Qing had a headache. Originally, she just wanted to follow the girl and send a few random things over to deal with the matter. She didn't know what was good or bad, but just now the old woman in Jingxin Pavilion asked her to give Gao's dowry within two days. All the things in the list are gathered and sent back to the Anran Pavilion, otherwise, the ancestral hall will be held, the clan elders will be asked to confess their crimes, and Li Yuan will be divorced in public. If there is no ten thousand, there will be eight thousand, and now I am worried about how to mend the big hole.

"Let her vent her anger, I have a headache and I need to go back and lie down." Lin Qing shook his head and waved his hands into the room.

The next day, at the Tanjiang Wharf outside the city, vehicles, boats, people, horses and horses met back and forth.

In the main cockpit at the end of the pier, a bearded middle-aged man was half lying on the tiger skin, his chest was wide open, and two naked girls beside him were feeding wine into his mouth, laughing and playing.

"Headmaster, this is a letter from the Li residence." The servant walked in and handed over an envelope.

"5000 taels?" Lin Gang threw away the paper, snatched the wine from Hua Niang's hand and drank it down, and threw it on the ground, his eyebrows raised.

"Damn Ge, this couple should treat me as a cash cow!" Lin Gang walked back and forth, angrily, after a moment of contemplation, his eyes turned, a lewd smile appeared on his ferocious face, he put on his coat and strode out.

"Let's go to Li's Mansion!"

"Hey, the main rudder is going out, the carriage, Ma Dunzi, come here!" The attendant responded and went outside the door and shouted.

A skinny man in gray came running over with a limp, knelt down in front of the carriage, his face was wet with sweat in the winter.

"Is there no one at the pier? What a cripple, bad luck!" Lin Gang cast a glance, kicked the skinny man away, stepped on the kneeling back of his entourage, got into the carriage, and drove away.

People come and go, no one cares about the motionless, dusty man on the ground. After a long while, he slowly got up, patted the dust on his body, and limped with pain on his weathered face. Continue to find the next carriage.

In the living room outside Li's mansion, Lin Qing dispatched his servants, closed the door and walked back to his seat, looked at Lin Gang who was rudely pouring red plum tea, and frowned.

"Brother, this tea costs nearly a hundred taels of silver per catty, how can you drink it like this?"

"You treat me as rare, it's tasteless." Lin Gang dropped the tea bowl with a clang, wiped the water stains from his beard, and smacked his lips.

"... Forget it, it doesn't make sense to tell you, have you brought the money?"

"You want 5000 taels as soon as you open your mouth. Where can I find it for you at once, no!" Lin Gang leaned back on the chair, crossed his legs and said casually.

"Brother, I really need it urgently. It is impossible for you to not have 5000 taels. Use it for me first, and I will pay you back later!" Lin Qing frowned, looking anxious.

"Hehe, you are just like your man. You can say anything when you get the money, but you can't do it when you give the money. I'm busy. The prime minister has a lot of affairs and he's extremely busy! Hmph!" Lin Gang got angry when he mentioned this, Although he relied on Li Yuan's power to become the chief helmsman, and he was very good when he went out, but he had worked hard for him these years, and he did not help to do many dirty things in private.

"You! Let me tell the truth, if I don't have this money, I will be divorced by the Li family! At that time, your title of wife and uncle of the prime minister will be gone. Think about it!" Lin Qing was anxious, and patted On the table, turn your back and wipe the corners of your eyes.

Lin Gang was not interested in knowing the inside story of Lao Shizi, so he stroked his beard and said, "Sister, how about it, I'll give you the money, but you have to promise me one thing."

"Say, what's the matter?" Lin Qing turned around in surprise and asked eagerly.

"You know." Lin Gang opened his mouth and smiled sinisterly.

The corners of Lin Qing's mouth collapsed, and he said angrily, "Brother, I didn't send you the girl you saw in the mansion before? But she can't, she wants to call you uncle in name! Do you still have Gangchang Ethics? ? She is not a beautiful woman, why do you have to be her? No way!"

"Fart, what kind of uncle does I call her? You don't care why, I just like her tune!" Lin Gang pouted, recalling the trembling and terrified appearance of the little man, his heart itch.

"If something happens to her, I, the wife of the family, will not be able to escape responsibility. Aren't you hurting me?" Lin Qing gasped, regretting that she had come to pay her respects and met her brother.

"Sister, you are stupid. Can my brother blatantly go to the house to snatch people? You just need to find an excuse to let her go out and tell me the route. You don't have to worry about the rest. Who will chase you? "Lin Gang chuckled, his eyes gleaming lustfully.

"Can you tell me a word, I don't have time to waste here, there are still a lot of things at the dock!"

Lin Qing gritted her teeth, got up and walked back and forth a few times, closed her eyes, and said, "Okay, but not now, in a few days the female relatives in the mansion will go to Daguan Mountain to worship Buddha, and I will find a way to send her away alone, you Send the silver first, I need it urgently!"

Lin Gang chuckled, "It's a deal, if you break your promise, I will steal people out when I enter the house! At that time, you, the wife in charge, will be responsible, so don't blame brother."
