Nong Zhaohua

Chapter 20

Mrs. Xie was slapped firmly by Nanny Gui. Although the palm hurt, it was nothing compared to her inner collapse. She couldn't remember how many years she had not suffered such humiliation. , even when I was in Dingguo's mansion, because I never came out, I didn't have many chances to be handed over by Liu's family. After I got married, I never did. I didn't expect that Liu's family would be like this today. He didn't give her face, not even her aunt's face, and beat her willfully.

After the beating, Mrs. Xie was about to cry, but when she saw Yan Zhaohua's half-smile face, she forcibly held back, clutching her swollen and hot palms, and wrote down the grievance.

Aunt Gong also tried her best to hold back her anger, and when she helped Mrs. Xie leave, she didn't dare to walk away, but the farewell she gave was perfunctory enough.

Yan Zhaohua stood beside Mrs. Liu, watching the back of Aunt Gong and Mrs. Xie with Liu's support. Yan Zhaohua's heartbeat has not calmed down until now. In her last life, she wanted to let Mrs. Xie eat her It was a bit of a pain, but in the end it was not possible because of too weak strength. Turning to look at Liu Shi, Yan Zhaohua said sincerely:
"Grandma, you are really amazing."

This sentence definitely came from Yan Zhaohua's heart, but Liu Shi was not very happy. After hesitating for a while, he grabbed Yan Zhaohua's hand and asked her to sit beside him. Yan Zhaohua didn't know why. , Seeing Liu Shi hesitated to speak, knowing that she had something to say to him, she sat and waited quietly, waiting for Liu Shi to think about it and speak.

After a while, Liu Shi sighed and said:
"Are you mentally prepared for today's event?"

Yan Zhaohua's mind was spinning quickly, and he understood Liu's meaning at once, nodded without hesitation and said, "I've been prepared for a long time, even if my grandmother doesn't punish my wife today, she won't look at me high. Be nice to me, instead of being tricked by her, just speak out. Grandmother, don't think that I said these things on impulse. There is really no other way, and the life in the house is getting more and more difficult. ..."

Mrs. Liu secretly praised Zhaohua for her quick response, and she could understand the meaning of her words so quickly. She dealt with Mrs. Xie today, and Mrs. Xie didn't dare to do anything to her, but Mrs. Hua was still a child. If some insidious tricks were used overtly and secretly, how could Miss Hua know so much, and she would be too late to regret if she got tricked. Thinking of this, Liu even regretted not doing it for Hua today. My sister endured it for a while, but after thinking about it again, Mrs. Liu understood that such a simple truth, she is not as thorough as Mrs. Hua's thought, just as the child said, even if she endured Mrs. Xie's words today Behavior, let her go back safely, but Mrs. Xie will not treat Sister Hua any better.

Seeing Mrs. Liu thoughtful, Yan Zhaohua bit his lower lip, walked up to Mrs. Liu, knelt down on his knees, startled Mrs. Liu, and said, "What are you doing? Speak up if you have something to say."

"Sister Hua would like to thank grandma for protecting her today. Brother Qian and I don't have many people we can trust, so we have to trouble grandma for some things."

Nanny Gui hurried over to help Yan Zhaohua up, and while dusting her off, she said:
"What is the eldest girl doing? If you have something to say, will the old lady agree to you?"

After today's incident, Nanny Gui also loves this child from the bottom of her heart. Listen to what she said. If it is true, then Madam Hou is really too vicious. It is fine if an ordinary stepmother treats the child harshly. The aunt of the two children, with this relationship, failed to make her treat the two children well.

Mrs. Liu also said: "If you need my help, you can just say it. In the past, I only thought she was a good person, but I didn't notice it for a while, and let her succeed for so many years. Now that I know it, I will break it." There is no reason for appeasement, don't worry, although I can't personally intervene in the affairs of the Changning Marquis's back house, it doesn't necessarily mean that I can't control anything, just say it, as long as I can help you do it, I definitely won't decline."

Liu's words can be regarded as affectionate and righteous. If someone else asks her for help, she will not agree so readily. Even if the Xie family's child asks her, she has to ask the reason before deciding whether to help or not. , but when the granddaughter opened her mouth, Liu inevitably added some guilt that she hadn't taken care of over the years, so she agreed without even thinking about it. Anyway, what she asked must have something to do with Xie, Liu squinted her eyes and thought, She can't control Changning Marquis Yanxiu, but Mrs. Xie, she can still manage it.

With Liu's permission, Yan Zhaohua showed an innocent smile, and this smile suddenly hit Liu's heart again. This child is like the reincarnation of her sister Wei. I didn't realize it before. Her eyes She was actually exactly the same as her sister Wei, with dark pupils, and a smile softened her heart like a crescent moon hanging high in the sky.

With such a pair of eyes, not to mention asking her to help deal with Mrs. Xie, even if she wanted the stars in the sky, Mrs. Liu would find a way to get them for her now.

Of course, Yan Zhaohua didn't quite understand what Liu Shi was thinking at this moment. She was just thinking about her own problems. After thinking about it, she said:

"There are two things. One is about my mother's dowry. To tell the truth from my grandmother, my wife has been holding on to it, even if I want the dowry booklet. It should be in the hands of my wife. If she is kind to me and Brother Qian, she will say something else, but she is not good to us, so how can I trust her to take care of it? I am young and do not understand accounts. Can you please Grandmother sent someone to teach me, by the way let your people accept mother's dowry, and let them take care of me and brother Qian, it's fine that I'm a girl, but brother Qian is the eldest son, if nothing happens, he will be the prince in the future Yes, to be careful, you can't be oppressed by your wife and others when it comes to money."

What Yan Zhaohua said was very serious, that is to say, he made up his mind to completely confront Xie Shi. If Liu Shi sent someone to take care of her dowry, that would be to pick the skin off of Xie Shi. Nian Xie's profit from Xie Wei's dowry is known by counting with his toes. Now if Liu's sends someone to Yan Zhaohua so that Yan Zhaohua can take care of it himself, it will undoubtedly be a robbery. Xie's money-making tool, Xie still hates her to death.

Mrs. Liu hesitated for a moment, didn't say yes or no, just sighed and said: "What's the second thing? Let's talk about it together."

Yan Zhaohua knew that Mrs. Liu would have to think about her previous proposal for a while, so without urging her, she lowered her head, took out two pieces of rags cut into the size of handkerchiefs from her sleeve, handed them to Mrs. Liu, and said:

"Before, I disposed of a servant girl who served me in my yard. I accidentally learned that she had touched my quilt. I don't know what it is, but it smelled wrong, so I asked someone to cut the quilt. A few yuan, that's all, can I ask grandma to find someone to look at it for me, what is the smell on it?"

Liu's expression was serious, she looked at Yan Zhaohua, and asked the key point: "The maid...is your wife's?"

Yan Zhaohua nodded, and said without concealment: "Yes. I just thought the quilt smelled strange, so I started to suspect that maid. She used to take care of my bedtime, and only she could do the hands and feet on the quilt, so this Mattress..."

The next words, Yan Zhaohua did not continue, but Liu Shi understood. He stared at the cloth in his hand solemnly for a while, and his heart was filled with anger again. He handed the cloth to Nanny Gui, and said:
"I'll send someone to investigate, and I'll tell you the results. Now you just need to tell your grandmother, the maid who puts you to bed, do you know who she is?"

Yan Zhaohua nodded: "Naturally, the entire Changning Hou Mansion knows that she is the person my wife sent to serve me."

This sentence became the last straw that weighed on Liu Shi's hesitation. After taking a deep breath, he said to Yan Zhaohua:

"I have agreed to the second matter, and the first matter..." Liu's eyes rested on the cloth in Nanny Gui's hand, and his voice became deeper and deeper, and he said, "I also agreed. After waiting for two Today, I will send you a few reliable accountants. At that time, you will be fair and aboveboard, and as the eldest daughter of the Yan family, ask your wife for the dowry left by your mother. No one stipulates that you can't take care of it when you are young. Don't worry, the ones I will send to you must be experts in checking accounts, checking accounts, and entering accounts. Leave it to them, just like handing it over to me. You don't have to worry about anything. question."

Yan Zhaohua was overjoyed, knowing that Mrs. Liu could make a decision so quickly, it was inseparable from the second thing she said earlier. Mrs. Liu was still hesitating whether to let her and Mrs. Xie completely break up, but after hearing that Mrs. After the Xie family sent people to deal with Yan Zhaohua, they immediately changed their minds.

"Yes, Zhaohua thanked grandma. But, father..."

Although she is the eldest daughter of the Yan family and has the right to ask for the dowry left by Mrs. Xie, Xie has no right to refuse, but she is afraid that she will join forces with Yan Xiu and cause unnecessary troubles, so Yan Zhaohua I feel that for some things, it is better to explain clearly in advance.

Mrs. Liu also thought of this possibility. In the past, she was not at ease with Yan Xiu. However, Duke Guo valued him and Sister Wei liked him. Even if she was not sure, she had to let Sister Wei marry him. Xiu did not make a big mistake, nor did he make any great achievements, and Xie Wei's death was a deep wound in Liu's heart. Therefore, fundamentally, like Yan Zhaohua, she did not trust Yan Xiu.

Said: "Your father's place, I will also talk about it, so you don't have to worry." Liu reached out and stroked Yan Zhaohua's fair cheek, and said lovingly: "You have suffered all these years. Now you will Tell me about what happened in the Marquis of Changning these days, especially about that maid, don't hide it, tell me every word."

Where did Yan Zhaohua dare to hide it? He immediately told Liu Shi everything about how he suspected Hong Qu, and then planned Hong Qu to turn against Xie, and Xie was so angry at Hong Qu that he killed him with a stick. The more he listened, the darker his eyes became, and he remained silent for a long time.
