Chapter 31
This Xie Wenqing was arrogant and unreasonable by the second wife, but now that the Hou Mansion is in decline, she can no longer support her arrogance.

Seeing that Liu Yunxiang refused, Xie Wenqing left angrily.

In the afternoon, someone from the old lady came and asked her to go to the east courtyard.

I thought it was Xie Wenqing who had filed a complaint, and the old lady wanted to reprimand her, but after passing by, she found that there was a big battle, even the old lady who had been complaining about being sick and staying in the big room came.

She was wearing a brown spring shirt, she was not very old, but her hair was half a century old, her body looked very weak, her face was pale, and she looked sickly.

At this time, she was sitting upright, still having the bearing of the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion.

While the old lady sat on the main seat and sighed, the second lady covered her face and cried.

After Liu Yunxiang saluted, he sat down on the chair on the other side.

The old lady glared at her, frowned and said, "What are you doing, making us wait so long?"

When Yulian passed by, Liu Yunxiang was taking an afternoon nap, feeling lethargic for a while, and came back after resting his mind for a while.

Liu Yunxiang yawned, "Then don't wait for me. If you have anything to do, just discuss it with the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law. I have no objections."

"Who told you to take an opinion!"

"Then what do you want me to take?"

The old lady took a deep breath, and continued: "Second brother fought with the son of the governor of the Ministry of War for a small matter, and your second brother broke the head of that boy who was not good enough. Others reported it to the police, and Jingzhao Mansion arrested your second brother. "

The second lady cried: "Both of them drank, you hit me, I hit you, why did you report to the police and make things so big."

Liu Yunxiang lowered his eyes and remained silent. Since the incident was reported to the police, the governor's son must have been beaten severely.

"I entrusted the old lady of the servant of the Ministry of War to make peace, but the governor didn't know what to do, and he wanted to make trouble in front of the Holy Majesty." The old lady stomped her crutches angrily, "If it was before, he would come to our Marquis's mansion to apologize of."

"Second master is still in prison, he may be aggrieved." The second lady wiped her tears.

The old lady waved her hand, "Forget it, at this juncture, our Hou's Mansion dare not show our heads in front of the Holy One. The Governor's Mansion needs 5000 taels of silver to reconcile, but our mansion has no money in its account, so I called you here, you Let's get it together."

After hearing this, the eldest lady coughed several times, then stood up with the table propped up, looking like she was on the verge of falling, thanks to the woman beside her who supported her.

"Mother, the doctor and I have opened a new prescription, which requires two or two ginseng a day. Yesterday, the maid reported that the house has run out of ginseng. Please ask the people below to fill it up as soon as possible."

The old lady frowned, "I'm talking about my second child, what are you talking about about ginseng?"

The eldest lady smiled wryly, "Mother, I'm about to lose my life, and I still care about whether others live or die."

After finishing speaking, she made a virtual salute, and let the people around her help her away.

Although the old lady was angry, she had no choice but to look at Liu Yunxiang.

"Xiao Si said that you took two bolts of cloth from Erfang's private treasury to make new clothes for Xiao Wu?"

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Yes."

"It's enough to wear some clothes, why waste it like this. Take two bolts of cloth and put them here, and you can take some valuables to the pawn shop. Collect enough 5000 taels of silver to save your second brother."

What the old lady said was dry and neat, but Liu Yunxiang wanted to laugh when she heard it.

"Mother, you can't always cheat on me, can you?"

"Whatever you say here is a family, what is yours and mine."

"The second sister-in-law's private treasury can't be opened, and yours can't be opened, but mine. Besides, my dowry has been sold by you, and there is nothing left!"

"You dare to disobey the elders, you..."

"Ouch!" Liu Yunxiang covered his head, "Why does my head hurt so much, Jinyan, help me back quickly, my life is about to die."

Jinyan hurriedly helped Liu Yunxiang up, and the master and servant ran away in a hurry.

"Madam, I guess the old lady won't let it go." Jinyan said worriedly.

Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath, "She just makes moves, I will follow."

That night, Zijin appeared in Liu Yunxiang's room, saying that the butler had sneaked into the second room with a few people.

Liu Yunxiang got up, stood in front of the window, looked out through a gap, and saw them pry open the iron chain of the warehouse, and after a short while after entering, one after another came out with many things.

"I tied them up and hung them on a tree." Zijin said expressionlessly.

Liu Yunxiang sneered, "Let them steal it."

Zijin widened his eyes slightly, looking puzzled.

"My dowry has been used to subsidize the family, how can there be any good things."

With that said, she lay back down.

"However, you can't take advantage of these thieves. You can report to the police at dawn."

"Yes."
