The wicked girl

Chapter 172 Bargaining
It took several days for He Shi to finally recover from the imperial decree.

"It's so cheap for that stinky girl!" He Shi was annoyed, but only dared to curse a few words behind his back.For her, the current situation can be described as besieged on all sides.Mrs. Yang seems to have something against her, and she has bad intentions.Mrs. Ye didn't like her in the first place, let alone now.During these days, Ye Chongwen seemed to be unable to tolerate anything other than the imperial decree.

For a while, there was no one around her who could talk.

Aizi Yezhao doesn't see anyone every day, but when she sees her occasionally, she's usually in a trance, full of puzzled thoughts.

He Shi wanted to ask, but he always dismissed her with a few words, and he was determined not to talk to her.

"No, a rising tide raises all boats, even for Zhaoer's sake, that stinky girl can't be married smoothly." He slammed the teacup in his hand on the table, and said to himself.

If Ye Kui successfully married into Pei's family, things would only be a hundred times more difficult than it is now!The He family has somewhat heard about the Pei family.After Madam Yong'an Hou gave birth to her twins in her thirties, her body was not as good as before. Later, she simply ate fast and stopped asking about trivial matters.The second room of the Pei family has always been in charge of the middle class and general affairs of the Pei family, but the second master of the Pei family is a concubine.Naturally, it is impossible for the Hou Mansion to fall into Erfang's hands.

She has also seen the second lady before, she is proud and complacent, she only thinks that she has presided over the Hou's Mansion for more than ten years, and that the Hou's Mansion is in her pocket, she simply does not know the heights of the heavens and the earth!
Although Pei Changge is ranked ninth, there are actually not eight older brothers in front.

The uncle who was invited to be the eldest son at birth, died young, and now his bones have long been reduced to ashes.The fifth master is also a descendant, but he never lived beyond three years old.Counting the children born to Mrs. Yong'an Hou, the only ones who survived were the notoriously cowardly and cowardly third master, the eighth and the ninth twins.

The fourth master and the seventh master are living well, but unfortunately they are all concubines.

Thinking of this, He Shi couldn't help sneering contemptuously.

People say that Yong'an Hou and his wife are more affectionate than gold, but Yong'an Hou still takes one concubine after another?
Who doesn't find it strange how the children of Mrs. Yong'an Hou died?Now that the eighth and the ninth are grown up, and each of them wants to get married, who can guess who will be the son of the world?

But there is no need to think about this matter at all, the selection of the son is of course selected from among the descendants.

Then naturally only the third, the eighth, and the ninth are left.

The third child has a bad temper, and has never been favored by the fierce and gangster-like Marquis Yong'an.The old eighth is blind, and this means that he has lost his chance.There is only one old nine Pei Changge left, who is young and promising, and has won the Sacred Heart...

It would be unreasonable if the seat of the son of this world did not fall on him!
So how could she just watch Ye Kui marry and become Mrs. Hou step by step?
So what if the emperor refers to the marriage, who hasn't had the time to repent.Didn't the emperor want to marry Princess Liuzhu to the second son of Hubu Shangshu?But in the end, didn't she marry into the Ye family safely?The luck of the third child, tsk tsk.When He thought of Ye Chongwu and Princess Liuzhu, he couldn't help feeling envious.

Speaking of which, who among these people is living the most unsatisfactory life but her?

At the beginning, she cut off all love for the He family and married into Fengcheng from Youzhou. However, in the final analysis, her position as the main wife is not wanted... It is just a broken shoe worn by Xiao Yunniang and thrown away!But she still had to wear it gratefully for such a pair of worn-out shoes that still seemed to be stained with the breath of the previous owner.These shoes have been worn for more than ten years, and she almost thought they were her own shoes after wearing them.As a result, Xiao Yunniang's two sons and daughters appeared one after another inadvertently.Her only son Ye Zhao changed from the only legitimate son to a Chinese cabbage all over the street in the blink of an eye!

Ye Kui's poisonous scorpion even sneered and tried to pull her down from her seat in the main room.

As soon as she returned to Ye's house, she was asked to perform concubine ceremony in front of Xiao Yunniang's spiritual throne!
It was intolerable!She never thought of getting married so easily!
Just as she was gnashing her teeth and thinking about it, a maid outside suddenly came to report that Mrs. Yang wanted to see her.He Shi sneered, and said: "Since she is so dissatisfied with what she has been harassing me for endlessly, why doesn't she go to that girl and talk about it herself?"

The moment she heard Mrs. Yang coming, she suddenly understood something.

So what if Mrs. Yang really has something to do with her?The current situation at this time does not have any advantage for Yang.Now that the imperial decree is issued, the matter is a foregone conclusion.Yang's attack at this time, everyone will only think that she is out of revenge, alienating the second room, and wanting to make the second room's family restless.Everyone will first assume that it was Yang who wanted to deliberately frame her.As a result, the situation naturally began to appear one-sided again.

The mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind.

She shouldn't be that cicada anymore.

Mrs. Yang would never want to be that praying mantis again!Since she has figured it out, she should be the one to do the oriole!She was dizzy by waves of incidents before, and the injuries on her face couldn't bring her back to her senses for a long time.Now, she understands.

What's the use of blindly being arrogant and blindly messing around?
What she wants is to set up a game of chess for them to play, and all she needs to do is hide behind the scenes and be the hand that holds the piece!

"Ma'am, madam—the eldest madam broke in—"

The maid outside the house yelled out of composure, and He Shi was startled, Yang Shi had already broken into her room, rushed over swaggeringly, and said, "Well, He Xue! Are you going to show off with me now? Tell me Damn you are just a back-and-forth, I am the wife of the Ye family's Mingmei, I feel dirty if you call me sister-in-law, now you still have the face to treat me like this?"

He shivered with anger, stood up from the stool, pointed at Yang's nose and cursed: "I am the daughter of the He family in Youzhou, you are a pickled ghost who came out of nowhere! Just because you deserve to be called by my name? Are you afraid that the Yang family still lives in Chang’an Lane now? A fool who can’t even eat enough dares to be arrogant, it’s simply not what it means!”

Chang'an Lane is the poorest part of Fengcheng, and the people who live there are traffickers and pawns, and all kinds of religions wander there.Mrs. He said that the Yang family lived there just to embarrass Mrs. Yang. The Yang family was poor, and indeed lived in Chang'an Lane for a long time when they were young, but that was all about Mr. Yang's father's generation.She lived in a spacious mansion since she was born!
Therefore, Yang Shi was naturally so angry by He Shi's words that his mouth felt fishy and sweet.

"Yang's family is not as good as He's family, but don't be complacent!" Yang took a breath, her tone gradually calmed down, "Feng Shui takes turns, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, you don't know how many days you can stay in Ye's house, Why are you arrogant and proud? He Xue, let me tell you, even if I let go of the words today, Ming Yan’s hand can’t be broken in vain! Your second wife wants to marry your daughter or do whatever you want, but let’s just forget it ,no way!"

After a pause, Yang didn't wait for He's attack, and said again: "Don't think that I can't do anything to you if the emperor refers to marriage! At worst, we will go to the booklet and find the concubine Xi for help to talk!"

Concubine?

He Shi was taken aback, that's terrible!

This happy concubine was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and she was like a flower bone, and was sent into the palace by the Yang family Baba, and Emperor Chengzhen liked it very much.That momentum almost surpassed that imperial concubine of the Pei family!
If Mrs. Yang could really ask her to blow her pillow, I really don't know what would happen.The marriage will not change, but Ye Chongwen will inevitably be scolded by the emperor.Regarding Ye Mingyan's matter, the old lady said it lightly, just let the girl Ye Kui go and apologize, but the lion's mouth of the big house is not so easy to close!This is forcing them to disperse wealth and eliminate disasters!

He Shi almost smashed the handkerchief in his hand, finally put away his arrogance just now, and said: "Then what is the meaning of sister-in-law?"

A smugness flashed in Yang's eyes, and he stretched out a hand and waved it in front of He's eyes, "Not much, just this number."

Sure enough, I want money!
He looked at her hand with disdain in his heart, heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "It's not like the second wife can't afford 5000 taels of silver."

Yang sneered: "5000 taels? If it's only worth this price, why don't the younger brothers and sisters go and get a knife, and I'll chop off your hand and then go get 5000 taels, what's the deal with you?"

"Do you want 5 taels?" He jumped.

Yang continued to sneer and said, "No. I only want 5000 taels, and I just want gold!"

He's legs went limp, and his eyes turned red with anger, "5000 taels of gold?! I see you are talking nonsense because you have never seen gold! 5000 taels of silver is available, but you don't have a cent of gold! If you don't want it Yinzi, then just go and find your concubine!"

"Second siblings don't need to lie to me, this huge Ye family belongs to you, and the things left by the ancestors are worth a lot, but why can't you take out a mere 5000 taels of gold?" Yang wanted to be disgusted. After a while, He said intentionally, "Don't you know that Aunt Qin of your family takes a kind of nourishing pills all year round, and a small box costs ten taels of gold! Those pills are all packed in jasper boxes!"

"What?!" He Shi was really disgusted and blurted out.

Yang continued: "If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't know that Erfang is so rich. Since Erfang is not short of this money, why don't you let us use it from your fingers? Brother Jin will stay in Fengcheng in the future Enrolled in school. Mingyan’s girl has become like this, and I will have to support her for the rest of her life in the future? How much money will it cost in this lifetime? I’m only saying this, it’s the most benevolent and righteous!”

The confidence that He Shi had built up with great difficulty before collapsed once again, and it was so broken that it couldn't be broken any more.

Aunt Qin is only a concubine, but she can eat such expensive things all year round. She is a married woman, but she has to live on a budget every day!
It is true that the Ye family is not a newly rich family, but how much money can this money be obtained just by rewarding salary?The masters of the Ye family are not good at general affairs, and the income of the shops outside is just equal to the same expenditure, so they are just playing around, how can they make any money!
Yang is trying to force her to death!

"Sister-in-law, let's go back first, I agreed to this matter. It's just that such a large amount is difficult to raise for a while, so let me take a while." He Shi slowly sat down on the stool, with a dejected tone.

Yang Shi was dizzy with the joy of the money he was about to get, and didn't notice He Shi's strange behavior at all, so he hurriedly agreed.
