The Prince's Humen's Wife

Chapter 96
Looking at Xiu Niang's proud face, Mother He sneered: "Now the third girl has risen again."

Li Chaochao paid attention behind him calmly, and felt that Xiuniang and Second Auntie were following up with their ears pricked up, and deliberately raised their voices: "What's the use? So what, it still depends on her face, the second aunt should be rewarded if she does a good job, and if she doesn't do well, she will be held accountable, and she will only be sold to the third sister. After all, she is also a pitiful person. It was said that it was a marriage, and it would be able to marry with the magistrate's family immediately, and another incident like this happened."

Mother He didn't understand why the fifth girl spoke so loudly, but she was happy to cooperate and said, "Oh, yes. They won't be able to make fun of it for a few days."

Until the two gradually walked away, Xiu Niang who was behind her heard more and more that something was wrong, and dragged Second Aunt to leave in a hurry.

Mother He made sure that there was no one behind, and said with a smile: "The girl really kills three birds with one stone. She not only punished Li Canhui, but also took away the wife's reward, and let us lead Xiuniang by the nose. Go straight to Da Furen, let's see if she's still not mad this time."

"With Da Furen's scheming, even if she doesn't find out who did it, she will feel wrong. If she is so angry that she dies, it will be cheaper for her." Li Chaochao smiled: "She won't die so quickly, I will give it to Aunt Liu. Those incense sticks will hang her life. Some things are not over yet!"

On that day, the old lady gave orders that anyone who dared to gossip would sell them directly. Although the servants didn't know what happened, they saw that the power of the middle class was in the hands of the second aunt, and even the young master's yard was too big. Separated alone, it is considered to be out of the house, and everyone's heart is like a mirror.

The eldest lady became more seriously ill, and the doctor was invited outside and said that she could not work hard, and the three girls did not need to go to pay her respects, even the eldest master did not go to see her, and she was either in Aunt Liu's room or outside all day, she just However, within a few days, Xiuniang proposed that the second aunt's ability was limited, and she asked the fourth girl to help with family affairs.

Everyone was terrified, it was a pity that they didn't follow the second concubine at the right time. From this point of view, the majesty of the eldest lady was still there, and the servants didn't dare to neglect her.

The third master suddenly appeared that day, and within two days he couldn't stay at home and ran out crazy, and he didn't come home every day, so everyone in the Li family was not surprised.

After more than half a month, the turmoil in Li's residence gradually subsided, and the masters of each yard also heard from different channels that the young master sold three shops in his hand to pay off the debt.

After listening to Xiangchen's report, Mother He snorted, "It deserves it! Look, this is the prodigal son taught by the eldest lady! No wonder the master didn't go to Xinlanyuan."

The weather is getting hotter and hotter. Qiushuang brings ice cubes from the outside into the house to cool down the heat. Dongyue at the side listens intently to the gossip with her eyes wide open. Then he moved a bamboo pole and sat next to the big Luozi.

Li Chaochao looked at the ledger and asked casually, "Where has the old man been?"

Mother He replied: "At Aunt Liu's place."

"Hehe." Li Chaochao smiled ambiguously, "Isn't Da Furen still appreciative?"

"Where can she care, I heard that she is too sick to get out of bed."

Li Chaochao trembled his eyelids and looked at Mother He who was gloating, "I don't think it's that serious, she's still very sane. Otherwise, Xiuniang would try to curry favor with her, and she would even propose that the fourth girl be in charge of Zhongfu."

Everyone in the room stopped what they were doing and looked at the couch sitting on the bed. Li Chaochao was afraid of the heat, so he only wore a light gauze shirt in the room, put one hand on the small table at the end of the couch, and blinked. Eyes full of stars are blinking, with three points of coldness and seven points of sarcasm.

Mother He was scared, and then realized that the girl knew about the result of the eldest lady in the morning, and she deliberately said that to Xiuniang that day?
She couldn't guess in her heart, but she didn't ask in front of the little maid.

After Li Chaochao finished speaking, he didn't notice the faces of others, and then lowered his head and continued to look at the account book. Xiang Chen glanced at her and said, "Girl, the biggest powder shop in Zhenjiang City will open in a few days, the boss invites you to one trip."

"No, tell people that the new store is busy with opening, so we can make an appointment at another day."

Everyone here was speechless, and in the evening, Li Chaochao closed the account book, and found that all the maids in the room had gone out, and only Mama He was left to hold the lamp for him, and let her go to rest with a busy smile.

Mother He hesitated for a while and did not leave, Li Chaochao smiled lightly, "Mom, do you want to ask me something?"

"Miss, don't blame the old servant for talking too much, but did the mistress know early on that Da Furen can turn things around?"

Li Chaochao patted the seat next to him, and asked Mother He to sit over, "Actually, Da Furen can't be regarded as a comeback. This incident will only hurt her vitality. Even if I make a ruthless move, with Cao's scheming and calculations, It can definitely turn things around.”

"That's why the girl told Xiuniang on purpose. She knew that she was still in the hands of the eldest lady, so she deliberately came to the door and asked the second aunt and the fourth girl to take care of Zhongshui together."

Li Chaochao snorted, "It can't be considered intentional, even if Xiuniang doesn't take the initiative to find the eldest lady, the eldest lady will find a way to put the fourth girl in charge of the Zhongfu. She will never allow the power to fall into the hands of others .”

"Then why didn't you bring it up at the time? What if the old lady disagrees with her when she mentions it afterwards?"

Li Chaochao replied: "At that time, the old lady was on fire, and the eldest lady naturally wanted to follow her. She was advancing by retreating. It seemed that she had handed over the power, but in fact it was still in her hands. She must not lose face of the old lady. Don't I have underestimated the eldest lady, she is shrewd, and she will use her best ability to protect her rights in all matters."

Mama He was stunned for a long while before she said, "Madam He really is very scheming."

"If she can be dealt with so easily, I don't need to play such a big game of chess." Li Chaochao smiled slyly, "She was seriously injured, and I got what I wanted again. In fact, I still won this game, not to mention I will never let Da Furen die so early, otherwise it will be too cheap for her!"

Mother He echoed, "Young lady is right. Da Furen should have a taste of the torture, so that Fifth Auntie can know!"

Li Chaochao took a deep breath, and leaned on the bed strangely, "Actually, this time, it's thanks to my aunt. If it wasn't for her help, Da Furen would be really hard to deal with."

"But how did the third master come back by such a coincidence?" Mother He was puzzled.

Li Chaochao squinted his eyes and smiled nonchalantly without answering. Not to mention that Mother He was strange, she wanted to know what method Li Boxing used to make Li Canhui lose 5 taels so quickly, not to mention the third master of the Li family. Looking for to stir the water...
