Chapter 46 Rumors ([-])

Have ulterior motives?

You are right, she really came to Rongshou Hall with ulterior motives.

The villain in Xiao Nan's heart nodded repeatedly, secretly thinking that the reason why she came to Rongshou Hall in the first place was for three reasons:

First, she wants to pull the most powerful woman in the Cui family into her chariot, and make the old lady the most powerful guarantee for her foothold in the Cui family.This is something that can't be helped, although Xiao Nan's status is valuable, but there is always a mother-in-law on top, and the word 'filial piety' prevents her from doing many things according to her own wishes.

With the old lady as a backer, it is different. The old lady is indeed Xiao Nan's mother-in-law, but the old lady is more like a mother-in-law to the old lady. Taking advantage of Xiao Nan's pregnancy, the eldest lady dared not go too far with trivial matters such as stuffing a housemate, a concubine, etc. to disgust her... and so on.

Second, she wanted to clean up all kinds of eyeliner and nails in Chenguangyuan, but she didn't have the patience to waste time with those people, and she didn't have time to confirm their identities one by one, so she could only clean them out quickly. The best method Xiao Nan could think of in a short period of time was to drive out all the Cui family's children in the courtyard under the pretext of rebuilding Chenguangyuan.

During the renovation of the courtyard, where Xiao Nan lives is a problem, she can't just follow Cui Youbo to the ancestral hall.Looking at the courtyards of the Cui family's masters and masters, only the Rongshou Hall is the most suitable.

Third, she needs to find a high-sounding reason for her change.The old lady is a woman who wears clothes and is a time travel colleague who has lived in another world for 70 to [-] years and has achieved great success. Although she did not deliberately reveal her identity as a time traveler, her words and deeds reveal a kind of personality that is far beyond that of contemporary women. Wisdom and ease.

Coupled with the old lady's decades of noble life, she has already perfectly integrated the time-traveling prophet and the noble lady of the family, making her different from ordinary noble ladies, but she will not appear too independent, even if there is something out of the ordinary. The performance will also make people feel that it is a kind of elegance and a kind of nobility. Absolutely no one suspects that the old lady is possessed by a wandering spirit and has been slandered and speculated by the world.

This point, Xiao Nan thought he could not do it yet.Well, she admits that she is indeed not an extremely intelligent person, but it doesn't matter, although she is not absolutely intelligent, she knows how to learn.

And the old lady is her study object, and also a barrier to cover up the breath of time traveler that she occasionally brings out.

Therefore, Xiao Nan is not very disgusted with the so-called rumors, because they are right.However, Xiao Nan suspects that the charges against her in the rumors are probably not the same as her actual purpose.

Thinking of this, Xiao Nan smiled indifferently, and said, "Oh? You have ulterior motives? Why do you have ulterior motives? Hehe, Yuzhu, come on, don't be angry, tell me what the rumors are about ?”

After Yuzhu said that, she felt a little regretful. What happened to her? The county lord is pregnant with a child and needs to rest. As a result, she deliberately said some bad things to make the county lord angry.

In case, in case the county lord heard the rumors made by those black-hearted morons, got angry and hurt her body, she would not be able to atone for her life by paying this life.

Hearing Xiao Nan's words now, Yuzhu hesitated for a while, moved her lower lip, but said nothing.

"Hehe, don't worry, I'm not a papery, delicate and noble girl, your county lord, and a few jokes from market slaves won't disturb my good mood. Speak, and take what you hear tell me."

Seeing Yuzhu's remorseful expression, Xiao Nan guessed what she was worried about, and shook his head amusedly, saying: "Besides, you must have heard the rumor in the inner court, right? The word has reached us At the door of my house, I don't know anything, if someone brings it up as an argument, I don't even know where to start to refute it, wouldn't I be too passive?!"

Xiao Nan's first sentence was directly ignored by Yuzhu, but the latter sentence moved Yuzhu quite a bit, yes, she just went to the sewing room in the backyard to urge the clothes of the twenty or so new girls, and she just listened After hearing the gossip, if their county master goes out to meet guests in the future and is asked about this matter, but the county master doesn't know anything, isn't that just waiting to be ridiculed? !
You know, the sewing room is still in Rongshoutang, and Rongshoutang is the place with the strictest rules in the Cui family. If people gossip even in Rongshoutang, it can only prove one thing, and that is that the rumors have already passed. It has been spread to everyone in the house, and even to everyone in the square.

"That's right, I'm going to the sewing room today..." Yuzhu figured this out, so she didn't hide it, and told Xiao Nan the rumors she overheard, "They said, the county lord The second miscarriage was a bitter trick played by the county lord in collusion with a group of servants, in order to make the old lady feel distressed, so as to achieve your purpose of staying in the Rongshou Hall."

Xiao Nan raised his eyebrows, although those who spread rumors are a bit of a jerk, they have a lot of imagination.Although he didn't hit all of them, he guessed right by one or two points.

The more Yuzhu talked, the more angry she became, and finally, she said very aggrievedly: "This group of black-hearted rats and dogs are really hateful and ridiculous. They actually said such vicious words to slander the county magistrate. Hmph, county magistrate, what is your identity?" , how rich and prominent the Xiao family is, how could you play such a bitter trick by lowering your status just for a little bit of family property?!"

"Wait, Yuzhu, what are you talking about? What do rumors have to do with family property?"

Yuzan had been listening silently, but the more she listened, the more confused she became. When she raised her eyes and saw Xiao Nan also had a question mark on her face, she hurriedly interrupted Yuzhu, winked at her, and reminded: "The county lord asked you to talk about things, you first Don't rush to complain, at least explain the cause and effect clearly."

Yuzhu received Yuzan's gaze, paused for a moment, immediately reacted, and quickly added: "The servant girl was only concerned about being angry for the county master, but forgot to explain the matter clearly. The thing is like this——"

In fact, this matter is not complicated, and it is indeed related to the Cui family's property, and it is also closely related to the old lady.

Back then, the old lady Cui Sanniang stayed unmarried all her life in order to keep the Cui family and raise her younger brother. Now the old lady is over [-] years old and has no children under her knees.

According to the social customs of the Tang Dynasty, for a woman like Cui Sanniang, the Cui family will take care of her until the end of her life.

But nephews and nephews are not as good as his own sons and heirs after all. Cui Shouren understands that if he is still alive, the Cui family will not dare to treat his sister poorly, but he is also almost [-] years old, how many years can he live?
If he dies before his sister, who will take care of her?A hundred years after my sister, who will dress her in mourning and pay homage to her?
Cui Shouren couldn't help feeling anxious and sad when he thought that his sister who had spent her whole life for the sake of the Cui family and their brothers would face the plight of being old with nothing to support her and no one to pay homage to her after death.

After thinking for a long time, he discussed repeatedly with his younger brother Cui Shouyi, and the two brothers unanimously decided to choose one of their descendants to be his sister's heir, so that the branch of Rongshoutang could be passed on, and at worst, his sister would have to be a hundred years later. There is a memorial to the descendants.

Of course, the heirs and grandchildren who are adopted to the old lady will also inherit all the property of the old lady.

The old lady is an unmarried girl, and she has never married for the sake of the family, so she is entitled to divide the property of the Cui family.

In addition, the old lady's mother also left a large amount of dowry. Cui Shouren's two brothers refused to accept this part of the property, and gave it all to the old lady.

One-third of the Cui family's property, coupled with the expensive dowry of the first mother, and the painstaking efforts of the old lady for six to seventy years, made the property under her name quite considerable.

"I understand." Hearing this somewhat familiar plot, Xiao Nan nodded clearly.

I remember that in the first life, Xiao Nan once watched a popular TV series, which mentioned an aunt who had never married all her life and wanted to adopt a child among her nephews.

Because of the huge wealth under her name, many nephews and grandnephews who "dead for money" broke their heads and crowded in front of their aunts and great-aunts to show courteousness. Another ridiculous and sad farce. (You guys should be able to guess which TV series it is talking about, no mistake, it is the gate of the mansion)
"The rumor must be that I wanted Hachiro to be adopted by the old lady, so I did not hesitate to abandon the fetus in my womb to play a trick to attract the old lady's sympathy, and to use this to move into the Rongshou Hall, so as to create an opportunity to get closer to the old lady In the end, let my youngest son, Cui Youbo, who cannot inherit the title, become the sole heir of the Rongshou Hall, so that he can easily get the old lady's wealth that is incomparable to the country?!"

Xiao Nan recounted what he had guessed in an affirmative tone, and the words were full of sarcasm.

Yuzhu could hear Xiao Nan's anger, and couldn't help nodding her head in agreement, "That's right, that's what those people said. County lord, don't they have the brains to make up such baseless words.

The maidservant doesn't know how much the old lady's property is, but the maidservant knows that you are the head of the 'Xiangcheng' county with five hundred households in Tangmuyi. In addition to these imperial fiefdoms and salaries, your dowry is enough for the Cui family's thousands. You can eat and drink for a lifetime... You have so much property, why should you care about the old lady's property? "

"That's not it," Rao Yuzan is a stable and honest person, and he was so angry when he heard someone slandering his master so much, he couldn't help but echoed: "Mr. Even if the Cui family splits up in the future, the eldest lady will never wrong Mr. Balang and the county master.

On the contrary, those men who were concubines, their biological mothers were not of high status, and the wives they married back were from mediocre families, and neither the second wife nor the third wife were "loving mothers" who treated the concubine very well... Back then, the sixth young lady was not so kind. Is it just to go to the county lord from time to time to be nice and behave, so that the county lord can help them a little bit?Hmph, if it comes to who wants to adopt the old lady more, I think they are definitely more eager than Mr. Balang. "

Wait, an idea flashed in Xiao Nan's mind, she seemed to have thought of something, but the idea disappeared in a flash, she didn't catch it, and hurriedly said to Yuzan: "What did you just say? Say it again!"
