The wicked girl

Chapter 66 Who Is Acting
Xiao Yunniang left Ye's house, and He's righted her.

The people in Ye Mansion naturally changed several times.

Except for Aunt Qin, the old people who served Xiao Yunniang back then have long since disappeared.So when Ye Kui saw the woman who was sent by He Shi and Xiao Yunniang's dowry booklet, she was really stunned.

The tearful mother-in-law in front of her is actually only over thirty and a half years old. She is called Mother Cao, and it is said that she served Xiao Yunniang together with Aunt Qin back then.

When Xiao Yunniang was pregnant with Ye Shu, she was the one who waited on her.

"My maidservant finally waited until Second Young Miss came back...it's a pity that Madam is already..." As she spoke, her tears couldn't be stopped, falling down desperately like a river that has broken its embankment.

Ye Kui was silent, and asked Yan Cao to bring Zhang Xiaozi, and asked Lu Zhi to make hot tea.

Mother Cao took the teacup and thanked her in a panic, her voice choked with sobs and she couldn't speak clearly.

Ye Kui said, "Mom is my mother's dowry?"

Cao's mother shook her head, "The servant girl was accused when she was in Xiao's house, and the whole family came to Ye's house with Madam. After giving birth to my eldest son, they returned to Madam's side to serve."

"Then everyone in your family is still in the Ye family?" Ye Kui nodded and asked again.

In terms of age, Mama Cao is a few years older than Aunt Qin, so she is naturally older than Xiao Yunniang, and it makes sense to marry someone in the Xiao family.

Mama Cao put down the teacup, showing displeasure on her face, "The man in my family is guarding my wife's Zhuangzi in the southern suburbs, and the eldest son followed along."

Ye Kui asked curiously: "My mother still has Zhuangzi in the southern suburbs?"

She knew about the southern suburbs, where the land was fertile and the output was excellent. If Xiao Yunniang had left her and Ye Shu a village there, it would have cost a lot of money.

"It's not slaves talking nonsense, the Xiao family was also a first-class family back then! Our lady is also the jewel in the general's palm, but she is a character who is afraid of melting in her mouth!" Cao's mother's face turned into pride again. , "Miss's dowry when she went out was ten miles of red makeup, and it lined up all the way from the general's mansion to the door of Ye's house! Zhuangzi naturally accompanied a lot!"

When Ye Kui heard her talking about excitement, she directly called Xiao Yunniang Miss, and smiled slightly.

Generally, those who can call people by the master's address when they are at home are mostly heartfelt old servants.

Ruan's mother next to Mrs. Ye is, although most of them call her Mrs. Ye, but sometimes she can't help but call out Miss.

This habit is deeply rooted in the bone marrow, even if it is deliberately changed, it still cannot be eradicated.

She couldn't help but trust Cao's mother in front of her a little more, but it was really just a little bit.

"Are those things still there?" Ye Kui asked while flipping through the list.

Mother Cao's eyes were red, she seemed annoyed and sad, "That bitch Suxue!"

"Su Xue?" Ye Kui frowned.

Mother Cao came back to her senses, slapped herself, and said, "Your servant can't say nice things with this mouth, so I don't have to dirty the second lady's ears!" After she finished speaking, she said slowly, "Your servant just scolded you!" It's Aunt Qin. She kept a lot of things in private back then, and the servants were so soft-spoken that they couldn't handle her at all. Afterwards, the master handed over all these things to the new wife for safekeeping, so it was more peaceful."

Ye Kui originally thought that she would say that she was taken away by the He family, but she didn't expect it to be Aunt Qin.

But in this way, it can also explain why Aunt Qin can afford such expensive pills.And after taking it for many years, the money should not be spent like running water?I'm afraid Aunt Qin has other sources of money in her hands.

What people didn't expect was He Shi.

Ye Chongwen asked her to keep Xiao Yunniang's dowry, but she didn't touch it at all.

However, I heard that she also has a lot of dowry, so I'm afraid she wouldn't be greedy for Xiao Yunniang's things, not to mention keeping them well and gaining a good reputation.

But Yekui is different, for things like silver, naturally the more the better!

What Aunt Qin swallowed, she will let her spit it out sooner or later!
After carefully reading Xiao Yunniang's dowry list, Ye Kui couldn't help but sigh.

Although there are many things, there are actually very few things that can move.

Naturally, it was impossible for her to sell those porcelain, gold and silver jewellery. The only ones that could produce something were the Zhuangzi in the southern suburbs and another smaller Zhuangzi in Jiangshan.In fact, Xiao Yunniang still has several farms, but it is said that the people who have not taken good care of them over the years gradually started to make ends meet, and eventually they became desolate.Although there are still people guarding it now, they are just looking at the house.

Ye Kui chatted behind closed doors with Cao's mother for a long time, and realized that except for the two villages guarded by her husband and son, the rest of the people were sent out by the He family.

So it's not that He's not doing anything, she's just not greedy but also doesn't want to keep Xiao Yunniang's things properly.

For things that are slowly being destroyed like this, outsiders will only say that the servants did not manage them well, and no one will blame He Shi. At most, they will only say that she is not good at employing people.

Ye Kui seemed to have heard He Shi's extremely smoothly dialed abacus rattling in her ears, but...

Bei Zi bit her lip, and Ye Kui felt a bit hostile in her heart.

Even if it was Jin Jin's abacus, I'm afraid it can't be dialed so smoothly now.One mistake, I'm afraid there is a possibility of melting.

After weighing the booklet in his hand, Ye Kui asked Lu Zhi to take it down and retrace it.

The old one was still handed over to Mama Cao, and let her continue to take care of those things.

The other was locked in the box by her, and the key was given to Yancao.

It's not that she is more at ease with swallow grass than green branch, it's just that some habits and ideas are hard to change.And getting along with her recently made her feel that Swallow Grass is still the Swallow she used to be, but without the escape she had when she was a child, and a little more humble.

So handing over the key to Yancao is also to let her know that she is still the little Ye Zi in the past, even if she is their second lady now, she still trusts her and is her good friend.

After everything was settled, Ye Kui fell into a deep sleep.

Early in the morning of the second day, when the slim figure of the green branch appeared outside the door, she was already sitting in front of the dressing table.

"Let the tortoiseshell stay in the house for a few days, and don't have to walk around outside all day to cause criticism." Ye Kui let Lu Zhi comb her hair and ordered softly.

Luzhi agreed, and after a while of silence, he said: "I heard that Sister Tortoiseshell's needlework is very good, why don't you let her make you a skirt."

Ye Kui liked that she was smart, so he immediately laughed, "Just tell her that."

After finishing dressing up, she purposely picked out a gorgeous dress from Xiao Yunniang's pile of jewelry and shook it out.

She is not too old, and her face is childish, in fact, she is not suitable for such heavy gold ornaments.

But the aura in her body was born to find an excellent balance with these things.

Luzhi helped her put Bu Yao in her hair, and asked, "Where is Second Miss going today?"

"Let's go and have a look at Aunt Qin." Ye Kui looked in the mirror and made sure that the Bu Yao on her head was very conspicuous, so she straightened up and said.

Luzhi hesitated, "Is it a little more dense?"

It was not something she could say, but now that she has shown her sincerity, Ye Kui also likes her to say more directly than not to say anything, so Luzhi also boldly said it.

Since Ye Kui returned to Ye's house, besides the old ancestor and Mrs. Ye, Aunt Qin is probably the one Ye Kui visited the most.A young lady who is born on the same day is so close to an aunt, even if Aunt Qin was serving Ye Kui's mother in the past, it is still to be criticized.

But what Ye Kui wants is this effect, it's best for He Shi to see them getting closer, and feel unbearable!
What's more, she went today because she had something important to do.

After all these days, it was time to bring the matter to the table.

Seeing that she was silent, Luzhi suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help reminding: "The third young master, why don't you go and have a look? Didn't the nanny who served the third young master come to invite you yesterday?"

Ye Kui didn't forget about it, but she really didn't want to pass it.

She didn't understand her younger brother more and more.

She knows how difficult it is to practice calligraphy and hold chopsticks left and right, and also understands that it is very difficult for a non-left-handed person to use his left hand like a right hand, but it is not impossible!
What's more, this is what he has to do!

But Ye Shu seemed a little too fragile at this time.

So fragile that even Po Chi couldn't stand it anymore.

She wanted to let him hang out, but she was still worried, "Go to Aunt Qin's first, and then to the third young master later, it may be a long time since I had dinner with him."

However, when she arrived at Aunt Qin's place, Ye Kui met someone she didn't expect.

Another concubine of Ye Chongwen - Aunt Yang.

That is her elder brother, the biological mother of Ye Chongwen's concubine Ye Yu.

Aunt Yang was born petite, and she looked soft and weak when she smiled, she was really a weak willow, like a porcelain figure.

She didn't seem to have expected Ye Kui to come, so she hurriedly dropped the embroidery frame in her hand, got up and gave her a bow.

Auntie is not considered an elder, so Ye Kui naturally accepted this gift honestly.

When Ye Kui was seated, Aunt Yang bid farewell to them in a low voice, packed up her things and left.

Aunt Qin said with a smile: "Aunt Yang is always timid and can't speak. I'm afraid it's because the Second Miss is a little uncomfortable."

Ye Kui also smiled.

At first glance, Aunt Yang and Aunt Qin seem to be two completely different people.

However, how could a maid who was really timid and unable to speak stay by Ye Chongwen's side for decades?

And gave birth to the eldest son before Xiao Yunniang?
Is it true that stupid people have stupid blessings?Pure luck?
She doesn't know whether others believe it or not, but she absolutely doesn't believe it!
People who come here obviously have nothing to be afraid of, but those who are weak on the surface but stubborn as a rock in the back are the ones she really needs to be afraid of.

"It seems that Auntie Yang has a good relationship with Auntie Yang?" Ye Kui sipped tea.

Aunt Qin nodded, and said without hesitation: "I don't say good people easily, but I can be sure of Aunt Yang's character. She used to be reluctant to trample an ant to death, but she is more timid and kind-hearted." .”

Ye Kui was a little surprised, she didn't expect Aunt Qin to say such words.

"It seems that my elder brother's temperament must have followed Aunt Yang's." Ye Kui calmed down and took the topic away.
