my wife is wonderful

Chapter 7
Geng Xingchen's arrogance was fierce, and the moment he met Qiao's mother, he deflated instantly like a puffer fish with a punctured belly.

She backed up a few steps involuntarily, and wanted to look back for Geng Xingshuang, but she felt that this was not good, so she stiffened her neck and said bluntly as if reciting words: "Mother Qiao, Xianglan was called to the main courtyard for a while." It's morning, have you finished everything? I still have a lot of things waiting for her in the house, why don't you let her go back first, if the things here are not finished, I will let her come over tomorrow. "

She spoke very fast, and after she said these words, she seemed to be lacking in confidence at the beginning, and then she was full of momentum at the end.

Mother Qiao was a little surprised. Mrs. Uncle woke up and called the maids around the three granddaughters. Although she used the excuse that they had something to do in the main courtyard, it was really just an excuse. A lot of trouble.

But neither Mrs. Uncle, nor I, Mama Wu, who followed Mrs. Uncle's order to do this, and the two big maids, Luwu and Luxuan, never thought of keeping this matter a secret, because they knew that this matter was fundamentally wrong. Can't hide it.

But now, Miss Six doesn't seem to know that Xianglan was taken away by the matchmaker, but ran over to lead her with a serious face?
Miss Six did it on purpose?Or really don't know?
Qiao's mother was thinking about it when she saw Miss Wu enter the yard right after her.

"This pomegranate should be peeled tightly!"

Pomegranate, who was guarding the yard, was still dozing off little by little. Geng Xingshuang passed through the gate unimpededly and walked in. This made Qiao's mother, who suddenly felt something bad in her heart, temporarily transform her uneasiness into Pomegranate's rage for neglecting his duties rose up.

As if she hadn't seen Geng Xingshuang, she walked up to Shiliu with a stern face, reached out her hand and grabbed Shiliu's round face, and cursed: "You damn girl, I asked you to guard the door, but you are dozing off here , when I report to Mrs. Uncle, I can't see... kick you out!"

She originally wanted to say that Yu Yapo took it away and sold it, but she changed her words when she got to the point of her mouth.

"Mom, what is this? Could it be that my sixth sister and I came from thieves, or that murderous bandit, and I need my mother to be so guarded. It is indeed her fault that Pomegranate dozed off while guarding the door, but our family is still at the end of the day." Uncle's mansion, my mother is the mother in charge of Mrs. Uncle's side. Could it be that she is so rude when she reprimands the servants?

Let's just see it. If grandma finds out, I'm afraid grandma will feel that my mother has lost face and punish her. At that time, my fifth sister and I will not be able to intercede for mother. "

Pomegranate was scolded and teased by Qiao's mother, and the sleepiness had already gone to nowhere.

"Mother Qiao, the servant didn't do it on purpose, it was really last night..."

"What's the noise outside?"

An old and stern voice came from the room, interrupting Shiliu's explanation.

Qiao's mother glared at Shiliu, and walked quickly to the door to report, "Ma'am, it's Miss Fifth and Miss Six who are here!"

The room was quiet for a moment, Geng Xingshuang raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Her step-grandmother, for so many years, has not changed her temper of wanting to hide in advance when she meets her, although she knows in her heart that no matter how she hides, she will still have to face it in the end.

She didn't urge, and neither did Geng Xingchen.

"Let them in!"

Less than half a cup of tea, Xia's order came from the room.

When Geng Xingshuang entered, Mrs. Xia was sitting in front of the dressing table, and Lu Wu was helping her comb her hair, as if she was woken up by them during her lunch break.

"Fifth Miss, Sixth Miss, Ma'am hasn't had her lunch break yet, she's getting up now, and she's going to have a headache this afternoon."

Luwu looked worried, and looked helplessly at Geng Xingshuang and Geng Xingchen.

"Actually...we are not looking for grandma. We know that grandma has to take a lunch break every day. How can she be so ignorant? We are looking for Mother Qiao and you, Luwu."

Geng Xingshuang smiled brightly, "But since grandma called us in, as a granddaughter, we must obey."

Geng Xingchen nodded again and again, "Sister Fifth and I didn't intend to go into the house to disturb grandma, but Mother Qiao scolded and beat her outside, which disturbed grandma's peace. We really can't blame us."

She was more straightforward than Geng Xingshuang. Mother Qiao who followed them into the room had an ugly expression on her face. She obviously bumped into Geng Xingchen who was about to enter the door, but Geng Xingchen hadn't entered the room at that time, so she did have something to say. Hard to say.

Luwu was left speechless by Geng Xingshuang, but fortunately, she had neatly tied a simple bun for Mrs. Xia, paused for a moment, and inserted a simple plum blossom into the bun. Silver hairpin, no other ornaments.

"Are you here for half rolls and pandan?"

Xia Shi turned around and looked at Geng Xingchen with sharp eyes.

Geng Xingchen moved his footsteps, and being watched by his own grandmother, he couldn't help but want to back away, but Bai Zhi was standing behind her, and the master and servant were very close. If she stepped back like this, she would definitely bump into Bai Zhi behind her , she finally held back, and nodded under Xia Shi's gaze.

"Yes."

It was beyond Geng Xingshuang's expectation that she could do this.

"Grandmother, I don't know where Ban Juan and Pan Lan are now?"

Geng Xingshuang knew that the Xia family ignored her on purpose, but she didn't care about it. Over the years, the Xia family had repeatedly done things that harmed the family and the second family, and even saved her parents and sent her second brother to Licai Academy Shu Xiu cheated her with a method that her father could not refuse.

Since then, the family of four didn't care much about many things in the mansion, as long as they didn't harm their interests, they just watched the excitement.

If the grandfather was not still there, the father would have taken them to live alone.

"You do not know?"

Xia Shi didn't believe that Geng Xingshuang didn't know that half of the volume was sold by her. She had already felt that Dafang was gradually getting out of her control in the past two years, but she didn't have any powerful means to control them now.

Eight years ago, when the eldest son Geng Shuhuai was about to go to Licai Academy to study, she persuaded the uncle to ask the three sons to pay 500 taels of money for medical consultation for the uncle on the grounds that the uncle was seriously ill and needed money to buy good medicine. medicine.

At that time, Geng Wenwen and Ruan were indeed deceived. Because they didn't have so much cash in hand, they directly embezzled Geng Shuhuai's repair fee. But later, for some reason, the matter was revealed, and the Dafang knew that the uncle was pretending to be sick, and the money was stolen. The Ruan family entrusted Erfang to get through the relationship, so that Geng Cheng was promoted from the seventh rank to two ranks in a row, and became the sixth rank experience.

This incident almost drove Dafang crazy, Geng Shuhuai even left home directly, went to Suzhou, and only came back once a year during the Chinese New Year.

Later, I didn’t know how the eldest son operated it. Before they realized it, there were already rumors about the eldest son’s filial piety. For the uncle’s illness, he misappropriated the eldest son’s Shuxiu, but in the end he found that the uncle was just an ordinary cold. , The total cost of money is only one or two dollars.

Since then, the reputation of Anpingbo Mansion in the outside world is like Anpingbo's plaque, which may be taken off from the door at any time.

As Mrs. Uncle, there are many opportunities to be guests outside, but whenever she wants to explain, she is always watched with the look of "we all understand, explaining is to cover up", which makes her very depressed.

Therefore, the harsh image of Xia's plotting against his stepson has survived to this day and has not been eliminated.

The reputation of Geng's family's filial piety also spread, which made Xia and Erfang feel like a stick in their throats. The second wife's wife, Yao, tried her best to "refute the rumors", but the effect was very limited.

And Uncle Anping himself seems to feel ashamed of his eldest son. In the battle between Mrs. Uncle and Dafang, he would favor Dafang on the surface, but Geng Xingshuang knew in his heart that this bias was not because of guilt, but rather It's because of interests, purely monetary interests.
