In the rebirth, the abandoned wife of a noble family turned black

Chapter 20 20 Nonsense, simply nonsense
"Okay, do you really want to make this matter bigger and make it known to everyone?"

Lin Tingting shut up unwillingly.

Mrs. Zhou looked at Jiang Ruan Xi again, "Although you didn't do this on purpose, after all, you are her sister-in-law, and you are also responsible."

Jiang Ruanxi was silent.

Mrs. Zhou originally called her over, intending to beat her and put the blame on her. Now not only has her goal not been achieved, she has also made her daughter suffer. She felt a little unhappy and waved her hand impatiently, "You can go down first. .”

After Jiang Ruanxi left, Lin Tingting couldn't sit still at all. "Mother, who is your daughter? Why do you always talk to outsiders?"

"You, you are so impatient. Your second brother used the family banquet today to test Lord Shangshu's tone. Regarding his promotion, Lord Shangshu has now relented. Let's just stuff the money. You The matter of your second brother's promotion is now at a critical juncture, so don't make any mistakes at this time. As long as your second brother's affairs are completed, we don't need to care about her in the future, so you can bear with it a little longer."

After all, Jiang Ruan Xi's dowry still needs to be spent, and Mrs. Zhou doesn't want to make Jiang Ruan Xi unhappy at this time.

Although Lin Tingting was angry, she also knew that what her mother said was true.

As long as the second brother is promoted, her own status will also rise. Li Xun will not matter at that time, maybe she can marry the prince and become the princess.

After Jiang Ruanxi went out, Hongye had come back, "Madam, don't worry, I have already followed your instructions. The Zhenguo Hou Mansion already knows what happened in the house."

Looking at the setting sun outside the window, Jiang Ruanxi curled her lips, Lin Ningkun, you think that hosting a family dinner can solve the matter of promotion, just live out his spring and autumn dream.

Early the next morning, while the Lin family was having breakfast, Lin Runkun hurried over with an ugly expression on his face.

"Second uncle, you've finished your meal. I'll have someone bring you a pair of bowls and chopsticks." Jiang Ruanxi stood up and said with a smile.

Lin Runkun waved his hand and sat at the dinner table, "Did the money you paid this time go to Ruan Xi's dowry?"

Lin Ningkun put down his chopsticks, frowned slightly, and looked at Mr. Zhou.

The two looked at each other, and Mrs. Zhou was a little confused. She took Jiang Ruanxi's dowry to sell, and she did it quietly. Except for herself, Jiang Ruanxi and Lin Ningkun, no one else knew that Lin Runkun was How do you know?

Naturally, Lin Ningkun would not tell Lin Runkun this, so Zhou's first reaction was to file a complaint against Jiang Ruanxi.

The way she looked at Jiang Ruan Xi changed instantly.

Jiang Ruanxi said with an innocent face, "Mother, I have never told my second uncle about this, I swear."

Zhou naturally didn't believe it, "If it weren't for you, how would the clan leader know?"

"Nonsense, just nonsense."

Listen to their words and prove it's true.

Lin Runkun's face looked as ugly as if it was stained with ink, and he slapped his hand heavily on the table.

When he came, he was still holding on to hope, thinking that it was all fake, but Zhou's words undoubtedly admitted this.

"Master Marquis, I'm not telling you, even if the Lin family has no money, you can find a way to borrow money, but what are you doing by selling your wife's dowry? Do you want everyone in Kyoto to know that your official position is based on Did you pay for your wife's dowry? If you are shameless, I will be shameless."

These words made Lin Ningkun extremely irritable. His cold and elegant face was already filled with anger, but because of the presence of his elders, he tried his best to restrain his anger. "Second uncle, is the matter so serious?" Jiang Ruanxi asked pretending to be surprised.

The Zhou family has long been at a loss. "Yes, clan leader, it's just selling off your own things. How can it be so serious?"

"You're here now, and you still think this is a trivial matter?" Lin Runkun was very angry, "I don't know what happened about you selling Ruan Xi's dowry, but Jing Zhaoyin found out about it. When the matter got serious, then The Lord Minister found out..."

The more Lin Runkun talked, the angrier he became, "You don't know that the relationship between the Vice Minister and the Minister of Hubu is very good. If this matter comes to the ears of the Minister of Hubu, the matter of the Hou Mansion inviting the Minister to dinner yesterday will be a What a joke, our Marquis Mansion will become a joke to the entire Kyoto."

When Lin Runkun said this, he felt extremely embarrassed.

"You also know that the personal ethics of officials are what the Holy See pays the most attention to today. This man's official career depends on a woman's dowry. If this matter is known, don't talk about promotion. I'm afraid it will be gossiped in the future. The spittle can drown you."

It didn't matter that Lin Ningkun himself was affected, but as a member of the Lin family, the children of the Lin family were bound to be humiliated as well, affecting the future of the children of the Lin family. That's why he was so angry and had to take care of this.

Zhou was dumbfounded, she didn't expect it to be so serious, and she was already stammering, "Then, what should we do?"

I originally thought that as long as I had money, I would be able to solve the problem of Lin Ningkun's career, but I didn't expect that the problem would not be solved, and it would actually cause a lot of trouble.

Lin Runkun said impatiently, "What else can you do? If someone asks about the sale of the shop, just tell them that there is no such thing. The top priority now is to quickly redeem the land deed and return it to Ruan Xi, so as to stop those people." mouth."

"Second uncle, if you return the land deed to me, what will happen to the future of the Marquis?" Jiang Ruanxi looked very nervous. She looked like she didn't care about her dowry and was doing her best for the good of the Lin family.

Lin Runkun's face tightened, "This, we can only take it easy."

Lin Ningkun was not happy anymore.

"Second uncle, this matter cannot be slowed down. Is there no other way besides spending money on it?"

Jiang Ruanxi glanced at Lin Ningkun and sneered in his heart.

Aren't you cold and arrogant?

I can't sit still now.

In order to be with Jiang Xuerou openly and openly as soon as possible, Lin Ningkun put a lot of effort into his official career.

Lin Runkun is also very irritable now.

"I've told you before that if your rating could be higher this time, we wouldn't have to take the road of personal connections. I told you to focus on government affairs before, but you couldn't listen. In short, this matter is in the limelight now Come on, you’d better stay away for the time being, and as for the money matter, you can figure out a solution later.”

"There is no other way. The Lin family only has so much ancestral property, and now we can't use Jiang Ruanxi's dowry. What can we do?"

Mrs. Zhou looked sad.

Lin Ningkun clenched his hands tightly into fists, and it was obvious that he was very unwilling.
