Rebirth of the Merchant Girl

Chapter 174 It happened for a reason
Xie Churou had tears in her eyes, and she said pitifully: "My daughter is guilty, I couldn't help worrying about my aunt, so I asked a woman to go over and have a look, and it would be good to send some food, who knows..."

With a pale face, she was almost on the verge of falling, she knelt down on the ground, her eyes rolled down: "Father, no matter how wrong Auntie is, she is gone now, please bury her properly so that Auntie can rest in peace."

Master Xie was taken aback: "Aunt Zhang is gone? When did it happen?"

Xie Churou burst into tears, shook her head and said: "My daughter doesn't know either. The mother-in-law said that she passed by the courtyard on the west side, and she smelled a foul smell, which made her almost faint. After some inquiring, I found out that my aunt had already passed out. It's gone, but Madam kept it a secret. Even if the wedding is imminent and Auntie is going at an inconvenient time, it's better to take the coffin quietly, it's better than leaving it in the yard, which makes my daughter really unbearable."

Master Xie was full of anger, even if Aunt Zhang died at an inappropriate time, Mrs. Xie shouldn't hide what Madam Xie said, and don't tell herself!
Do you still see yourself as the head of the family?
Always so self-assertive, Mr. Xie was full of anger.

Last time I changed the gold jewelry, it's fine if I slapped him in the face severely, why don't you even want to help Aunt Zhang collect the body this time?
Seeing that Xie Churou was crying and almost fainted, Master Xie sighed and comforted her: "Don't cry, Rou'er, your aunt...I will let people have a good burial, you just need to wait for the marriage with peace of mind." .”

He turned around and walked away with a gloomy face.This account, I have to settle it with Mrs. Xie!
As soon as Master Xie left, Xie Churou reached out to wipe away her tears, how could there be any sadness in her eyes?
Zixi looked terrified, lowered her head and said nothing.

Amber was more courageous, and asked softly: "Girl, but I want to talk to my mother-in-law, don't things go wrong then?"

"No need, daddy naturally believes me, how could he really find such a woman to confront him?" Xie Churou sneered, Master Xie was not happy, not because Aunt Zhang died silently, but because Mrs. Xie hid it up and didn't tell Him, let him lose face as the head of the family.

What does Aunt Zhang's fate count? What Mr. Xie values ​​most is his face!

Zixi asked timidly from the side: "Miss, do you want to prepare some paper money for my aunt?"

"No, you should have enjoyed everything you should have enjoyed while you were alive. Now that everyone is dead, who do you show them to?" In Xie Churou's view, those who are crying after death are just acting for the living.

Aunt Zhang has endured and managed her whole life. Except for the last days, she is considered to have a good time. I'm afraid she doesn't like to see these boring vain gifts.

Moreover, her death would make Mrs. Xie unhappy, so I guess Quanxia would have to leave with a smile if she knew about it.

Mrs. Xie didn't expect Master Xie to slap her when he came in without saying a word.

She covered her cheeks and cried, "Master, what are you doing, but what did I do wrong?"

"Aunt Zhang is dead, why don't you say anything? You don't deal with it well, let people stink in the yard, for fear that others will not know? Rou'er is going out, isn't this a bad thing?" Master Xie was angry He stared at her intently, hating iron for being weak: "Hurry up and quietly bury someone in the coffin, not to mention Rou'er, if Tong'er's marriage gets messed up for you, it's up to you to cry!"

Mrs. Xie stayed where she was in a daze, and when she recovered, Master Xie had already left.

He was too angry, but he didn't use much strength.

It's just that the slap didn't hit her on the face, it was more like hitting her heart.

Madam Xie put down her hands, Xuehui hurriedly brought ointment to apply on her, and persuaded: "Madam, don't worry, the master is only worried about the marriage between the two girls, if you care about it, it will be messy."

"Perhaps," Mrs. Xie's face was pale, but her eyes gradually became firm.

Master Xie's slap just now completely woke her up.

After so many years of silently taking care of the backyard, there is no credit but hard work, but it is a pity that Master Xie didn't leave her any face.

In front of so many maids and women, he taught her a lesson, how would he deal with himself as the head of the house in the future?

Madam Xie waved her hand and said, "Go and arrange for two wives. After midnight, restrain Auntie Zhang and carry her directly out of the mansion. As for where to be buried, send People go ask the master what he means."

Xuehui answered, and seeing Mrs. Xie's tired face, she quickly helped her to lie down on the soft couch to rest.Then he called two bold and careful women non-stop, took advantage of the night to put Aunt Zhang into the coffin, and quietly carried her out of the yard.

As for where to be buried, Mr. Xie is not sure, he only said that Aunt Zhang cannot be buried in Xie's ancestral grave.

Xuehui sighed, Aunt Zhang was so beautiful during her lifetime, it is not an exaggeration to say that she was on Mrs. Xie's head, but she did not expect that she would not even be able to enter the ancestral grave after death.The man became cold, but it was extremely chilling.

In order to save trouble, the two women directly buried Aunt Zhang in the mass grave, even the money for the tombstone was secretly used to eat wine.

Xie's house lost a little aunt, and it didn't cause any ripples.

The maids and women mentioned it in private a few times, and quickly put Aunt Zhang behind them, only occasionally sighing when they thought of it.

But they didn't have time to sympathize with a dead aunt, because the two girls in the house were going out.

Mrs. Xie didn't know if it was intentional, but she chose the same day for Xie Ruitong and Xie Churou to go out.

Compared to Xie Ruitong's Qinglian Garden which was bustling, Xie Churou's yard was deserted.

After all, the eldest girl wanted to be the housewife in a beautiful manner, but Xie Churou was just a concubine carried away by a sedan chair.

The maid beside Xie Ruitong was busy counting dozens of dowries for the last time, and she had to dress up early in the morning, and she was extremely busy.

On the other hand, Xie Churou, as long as she packs her close-fitting things, she can't even wear the red wedding dress.

Zixi felt sorry for her daughter, but she didn't know how to comfort Xie Churou.

I saw Xie Churou sitting by the window, motionless for an entire hour, the yard she was looking at from afar was Xie Ruitong's Green Lotus Garden.

"You go to Qinglian Garden, just say that I can't go to congratulate Eldest Sister in person." She suddenly turned her head and told Zixi.

Zixi is a little confused, the eldest girl is about to go out, why is Xie Churou going to congratulate her?
However, she never disobeyed her daughter's orders, so she went to Qinglian Garden without hesitation.

But when she came back, she had a strange expression on her face: "Miss Hui, there are two maids guarding the door of the eldest lady's yard, not to let the slaves go in, but there are also two maids in front of the room where the slaves are looking at the inner courtyard."

Is this for fear that Xie Ruitong will run away and refuse to marry?

Zixi stared blankly, although the big girl's courtyard was lively, it was not like a marriage, but like a guard against thieves.

Xie Churou laughed when she heard the words: "With the eldest sister's temperament, how can she marry Master Yuan in peace?"

Zi Xi was confused, Master Yuan is so nice, why doesn't the eldest girl like it?
Even if you don't like it, a girl from Xie's family marrying into Yuan's family can be regarded as a high rise.

Amber understood a little bit, and asked cautiously: "Girl, what do you want the servant to do?"

"It's not necessary." The smile on Xie Churou's lips became more gloating, and the look in his eyes also brightened, "The more you wait until the end to find out, the more interesting it is, isn't it? I really can't wait to see the expressions of Dad and that woman. It must be pretty exciting."

But Hu Po worried: "If you offend the Yuan family, will it be detrimental to the Xie family?"

"What are you afraid of? The Yuan family doesn't care about a small Xie family. Besides, my married daughter is just the water that gets thrown out. It doesn't matter to me what happens to the Xie family." Xie Churou snorted coldly, Mrs. Xie's behavior was clearly a slap in the face.Don't talk about what happens in the future, Xie's mansion will support her, she just takes it out of this door, and she can only rely on herself in the future.

The Fang family is an official family, so how can they think highly of a merchant like the Xie Mansion.Even if the Xie family wanted to support her, they would not be able to do so.

In the end, after leaving the door of Xie's mansion, Xie Churou was considered to be alone, and had to rely on her own efforts for everything.

For example, to win the heart of the servant of the household department, for example to gain a firm foothold in the Fang family, for example to spread branches and leaves for the Fang family.

She has a lot to do, how can she take care of Xie's family?
Xie Yanniang watched Xueyan crying, she couldn't speak clearly, she almost fainted from crying, she couldn't help frowning: "Speak more clearly, what's wrong with Xueling?"

Xueyan rubbed her eyes, her pupils were as red as rabbits, and sobbed, "I didn't see my sister when I got up in the morning. I thought she had come to serve the girl first. Who knew that I hadn't come back. The servant was worried, so I met in the courtyard I walked around the kitchen, but couldn't find it."

Xie Yanniang rubbed her forehead, such a big living person, how could he say he didn't see him?

Today, there is a lot of chaos everywhere, and all the maids and women are so busy that they don't touch the ground.

There are also many relatives of Mrs. Xie, who all sneaked in to congratulate at this time, and I don't know how far away the relatives are, and I have never heard of them.

With so many strangers and a group of maids and women by their side, it was really not easy to find the missing Xue Ling.

"You asked other people, did you see Xue Ling in the morning?"

Xueyan frowned and thought for a while: "Only a woman at the front of the yard said that she saw Xue Ling go out and went to the kitchen to have a look. But the slaves went to the kitchen to ask, and the cook said she had never seen her."

"In this case, Xue Ling disappeared on the way from Haitang Garden to the kitchen?" The more Xie Yanniang thought about it, the more weird she became. There was a wedding going on in the house, and a servant girl disappeared. I'm afraid Mrs. Xie and Mr. Xie wouldn't take it to heart at all. .

"The house is in a mess, if you want to find Xue Ling, you may have to leave the house..." Xie Yanniang seemed to have something flashed in her mind.She stopped talking immediately, thinking carefully.

I remember that after Xie Ruitong also went out, Master Xie had a violent attack on Mrs. Xie within a few days.

Almost all the furnishings in the house were broken, so she was particularly impressed.

What is the reason for Master Xie to be so furious?
She always felt that she might not be able to get away from Xie Ruitong.
