Jinghong Tower

Ding swallowed back the last two words of "You're talking about surprise."

At the beginning, she was the one who told He Shuhui that she wanted to find a way to get close to her eldest sister.

And He Shuhui is not yet eight years old.

Thinking of what her daughter said just now, Mrs. Ding felt even more distressed. Her daughter should be innocent and carefree, her daughter should be innocent and carefree!

"Mother has thought about it too, but your eldest sister is not in the capital now. Mother sent people to Jinghong Tower to inquire, but she didn't come back."

Ding's heart was beating fast when she mentioned the eldest lady.

She would never forget that time. She told He Ran that she suspected He Shuyuan of poisoning Brother Long. Within two or three days, He Shuyuan was sent to prison. The Min family, who had finally climbed up, actually used He was sent away with just a piece of paper stating that he was a concubine.

He Shuyuan's life is over, and it would be better to die than live.

Mrs. Ding thought she had already mastered the things in the back house, but what happened to He Shuyuan made her finally understand that the secrets in the back house were not worth mentioning in front of the eldest lady, no, the big boss.

She was scared and happy at the same time.

What was scary was that such a person was born in the He family. What was happy was that she had never offended him.

Think of the Yan family, think of Mr. He, think of He Shuyuan, think of the He family who are now like a bereaved dog!

Maybe Miss He did not do these things directly, but she must have been involved, otherwise why would all of this happen after she appeared.

Ding gritted her teeth and decided to give it a try.

"But your brother, your grandmother and your father will definitely not let him stay."

Mrs. Ding couldn't bear to leave her son.

In the evening, Mr. He San came back with He Shuquan. The father and son went to the old lady's room first. The old lady was wiping her tears. It had been a whole day, but Ding didn't send her things.

Master He San became anxious when he heard this. Ding was not like this before. Why is he so ignorant now?

Don’t even look at what time it is!

Master He San was about to rush over to question, but the old lady stopped him: "Don't go, you've spoiled her, how can she still see you as a husband in her eyes? Let Brother Quan go, Brother Quan is her son , she only gave birth to this son, and she can only rely on Brother Quan for the rest of her life."

Ding never expected that the person who came to force her was not the old lady, nor Master He San, but He Shuquan, her son.

Over the years, thanks to He Shuquan's favor in front of the old lady, she often felt proud in front of her two sisters-in-law.

But now, she felt bitter in her mouth. How sweet it was before, it was now bitter.

"Mom, how long has it been, why are you still so angry? Grandma is the head of the family, and the good things in the family should be placed with her. Besides, doesn't all your money belong to me? Grandma loves me the most. Now, can she still access my things?"

Ding's heart became heavier and heavier, and she struggled and said, "But there is mother's dowry in there!"

"Mom, after all, you just can't bear to part with your personal money. Your money is all saved for me. There is no difference between leaving it with grandma and with you. How can you be happy if you can make grandma happy? Why not?"

He Shuquan was a little annoyed. Women always care about these little things. It was annoying to death.

"Who said those are all yours? My mother's things were originally meant to be left to you and your sister. Your grandmother will not ignore your things, but what about your sister's, your grandmother."

Before Ding could finish speaking, He Shuquan's face darkened and he said angrily: "Mom, grandma said that everything you and my father have belongs to me!

Grandma is right, Shuhui is a loser. Even if she marries a good family in the future, it will only be to help me.

Why should she fight with me?

This home is all mine!

If she is obedient in the future and is willing to pave the way for me and help her family, I will not treat her badly.

But if you say that she also has a share of your things, that is totally unacceptable! Grandma wouldn’t agree either!

Grandma said, I am the man of the family, and you can only rely on me in the future. Do you still want your daughter and son-in-law to support you?

"

Ding could no longer hear what else He Shuquan said.

Her head was buzzing, this was her son, the son she regarded as her lifeblood.

Her son is less than eleven years old.

Why does an eleven-year-old child have such a perception?

It’s not all given by adults!

Mrs. Ding believed that she had no favoritism, and because He Shuquan was often by the old lady's side, she, as a mother, was closer to her daughter.

So He Shuquan definitely didn't learn it from her, only the old lady.

The old lady originally thought so too.

Ding propped his head on his elbows, looking tired: "Then what if I would rather die than hand over the things?"

He Shuquan was startled. He didn't expect that even after he said so much, his mother still wouldn't take out the things.

Grandma was right, dad spoiled mom.

Not only is there no father in my mother's eyes, but he is also gone.

Aren’t you going to let him take care of you in old age?

"Mom, if you don't give the gold and silver to grandma, grandma will be very angry. Don't forget about my eldest aunt."

He Shuquan looked at Ms. Ding with boredom in his eyes. His mother was so ignorant and didn't know the general situation at all.

So if he wants to move his aunt Yan out, my mother will be scared.

Yan was divorced by her grandmother on behalf of her uncle. Women are afraid of being divorced by their husband's family.

He still remembered that his eldest aunt, who had always been fierce, was so frightened that her face turned pale.

Now that he says this, my mother will be afraid, and if she is afraid, she will give everything to her grandmother.

He Shuquan was a little proud, look, how smart he is.

Mrs. Ding suddenly smiled, her big boy had learned how to intimidate her.

"Okay, I'm tired. When I get some rest, I'll send the things to your grandmother."

Although He Shuquan pretended to be old-fashioned, he was still just a boy in his teens. When Ding said this, he believed it. He had accomplished what his father couldn't do, and his grandmother would definitely praise him.

After sending He Shuquan away, Ding finally made up her mind.

Mrs. Chen was her dowry. After the old lady decided to go south, Mrs. Chen asked her to resign.

Mrs. Chen's son, daughter-in-law and grandson are all in Zhending, and their lives are uncertain.

Mrs. Chen was worried that if she left, she would never be able to see them again in this life.

She wanted to stay and wait for King Jin to enter the capital. As long as she could survive, she might be able to return to true peace by then. Mrs. Ding called Mrs. Chen and whispered to her.

That night, Mrs. Chen fell ill. Mrs. Ding asked two maids who usually had a good relationship with Mrs. Chen to help carry Mrs. Chen to the hospital.

Everyone in the house is saying that the third wife has done her best to be kind and righteous, and Mrs. Chen is about to leave. The third wife still wants to send her to the hospital for treatment.

After listening to the old lady's words, Mr. He San wanted to give Mrs. Ding a cold shoulder first. He would not enter her room until she took out her things.

Mr. He San didn't see Ding all night. Early the next morning, he went to look for a carriage again. There were too many people going south now. Let alone hiring a carriage, even if they wanted to buy one, they couldn't even buy one.

Yesterday, Mr. He San begged his grandfather and grandma to get a carriage, but with a big family and so many things, the carriage couldn't fit in it.

So early in the morning, Master He took He Shuquan out.

Mrs. He waited all morning, but neither saw Ding coming to deliver anything to her, nor did Ding bring He Shuhui to greet her.

This is a rebellion.

Mrs. He asked Mother Zhao to call Mrs. Ding over.

After a while, Zhao's mother came back alone, and neither Ding nor He Shuhui was in the house.

Mrs. He didn't think much about it, but after waiting for another hour, she still didn't see the couple coming. She asked Mother Zhao to ask again. When Mother Zhao came back, she looked confused.

"The disciple said that it was not yet dawn, so the third wife took the fourth lady out. She said she was going out to find acquaintances and see if she could go south with someone."

Mrs. He was startled, and then she remembered. She heard Mr. He San say that a relative of the Ding family opened a restaurant in the capital, but Mrs. He didn't know where the restaurant was. She wanted to come to Ding. That's where the family has gone. Sure enough, no matter when the time comes, she still wants to win over her natal family.

Mrs. He didn't care either, and Master He didn't care after hearing about it in the afternoon. His mind was all on the carriage. Today he spent a lot of money and finally found two more mule carts.

He had tried his best to drive three people, but he could no longer find a fourth driver.

But how can a three-carriage car be enough?

Old madam, their family of four, plus the maid and mother-in-law, must bring a few strong boys with them. Otherwise, what if they encounter bandits on the road? There is still so much luggage, even if all the three carriages are filled, there is still no room for so many people and so many things.

But Ding and He Shuhui didn't come back all night.

Early the next morning, the old lady finally confirmed that the couple had eloped!

"Go and see, has she taken everything away?"

The third master went to take a look. All the boxes in the third room were in good condition. There were eight large boxes, and not a single one was missing.

The disciple also said that the third wife and the fourth young lady went out empty-handed, and he was not dazzled by old age. He could see clearly that they did not bring anything with them, and there was only a personal maid beside them. Come.

If it were said that the third wife ran away with money, no one would believe it.

But all eight boxes were opened, and inside were clothes and quilts, as well as some clothing materials, books, and relatively valuable tea sets.

Ding's dowry, no.

Ding’s jewelry, no.

Ding's private house, no.

A family with three bedrooms, no.

The old lady clamored to report to the official, and the third master went to the Yamen. Well, the Yamen was more chaotic than the He family. The third master asked several people, but he didn't know who to report the crime to.

He had to come back and was almost knocked down several times on the way.

The capital is in chaos. Today is even more chaotic than yesterday. There are already people robbing things in the streets.

Mr. He San didn't dare to stay and ran home in a panic.

As soon as we arrived at the entrance of the alley, we heard a cry. It turned out to be the family living in the first house at the entrance of the alley. They forgot to close the door, and a group of homeless people broke in. They robbed everything they saw and even took away the new ones that had just entered last year. The daughter-in-law was touched, and the daughter-in-law cried and wanted to hang herself.

Mr. He San was almost scared to death and could not care about Ding. When he returned home, he had his house closed and no one was allowed in.

The next day was the day for the emperor to go south. The old lady didn't want to wait any longer. The only way to go south with the emperor was to be the safest.

As for Ding and He Shuhui, where else could they go if they didn't follow them? I was afraid that before I could get far, I would be robbed by the refugees.

Mrs. He cursed Ding and He Shuhui for being raped and then killed by the refugees as she got into the carriage. Her grandparents, grandson and the family's gold and silver were all on the carriage, while the maid, wife and servant ran behind the carriage.

Mrs. He breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Ding and He Shuhui were not here, otherwise the troika might not be able to sit down.

At this time, Ding and He Shuhui were already sitting in Jinghong Tower.

Jinghong Tower has been closed for a long time. Silver Tower, are there not many silver towers that have been robbed in the capital these days? Although no one dared to come to Jinghong Building to rob, the business couldn't be done anymore. Who would have the heart to buy jewelry, but they exchanged a lot of gold in private.

Ding came to the house with He Shuhui and Lu Chang asked them to stay without saying a word.

The gold and silver that Mrs. Chen brought out when she went to the hospital for illness also went to Jinghong Tower.

But Lu Chang had a request. Since they entered Jinghong Tower, they couldn't go out until Lu Chang agreed to let them go out. Otherwise, don't blame Miss Lu for the big gun in her hand.

Lu Chang said fiercely: "Don't even think about using the boss to pressure me. Let me tell you, I have more face than you in front of the boss!"

Mrs. Ding thought to herself, I have the guts of a bear and a leopard to use your boss to oppress you. Do you think I don't know that you are Miss Sun of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion?

When Lu Chang left, He Shuhui pulled Ding's sleeve and said excitedly: "Mom, did you hear it? She said that the head of the family is my eldest sister, eldest sister, ah, eldest sister is so majestic!"

He Shuhui thought of the big gun in Lu Chang's hand again, covering her small chest, with stars in her eyes: "Mom, can the eldest sister also play with the big gun? By the way, the third sister said that the eldest sister can turn eighteen in one breath Is it true that this is a somersault? Oh, my eldest sister is so annoying!"

Ding looked at her little daughter's eyes shining with excitement, and suddenly thought of her son again.

Forget it, forget it, just think she only gave birth to a daughter.

Ms. Ding held her daughter's hand: "If we can escape this disaster, it all depends on your eldest sister. You must remember that you must always remember your eldest sister's kindness to us."

He Shuhui nodded: "Mother, I have kept it all in my heart."

"You silly boy, you can't just keep it in your heart, you also have to talk about it.

We want everyone in Jinghong Tower, as well as Miss Lu, to know that we remember your eldest sister.

Also, you heard what Miss Lu just said. If we can take advantage of your eldest sister, it’s already good for us to live here. You must not try to take advantage of your eldest sister’s influence to show off to others. Do you remember it?

We cannot afford to borrow her power, at least for now. "Ding urged earnestly.

Although He Shuhui is smart, she is just a little baby after all. She seemed to understand Ding's words. She blinked at her mother with her big eyes. After a while, she nodded: "Daughter, remember, we can't borrow the power of big sister." Get up, so we have to be good." (End of Chapter)
