Chapter 58
"What, what?" One side of Pei's temple fell down, which was caused by the struggle when she was lifted up by the mother-in-law.At this moment, she was at a loss, her mind was in chaos, wondering if Xiao Zhongheng already knew that she had gone to Xiao Ruan's side to make a fuss.Therefore, I can't help but regret my impulse at that time.

However, Xiao Zhongheng actually didn't know what happened in Qingwei Pavilion just now. After thinking about it for a long time, he still felt that he should explain clearly to Mrs. Pei, lest she always think that Ruan'er owed them.

"Before my mother died, it was decided that when Ruan'er and I became adults, her dowry would be divided into two, and Ruan'er and I would get half of it. So, you don't need to be so guarded against her, she deserves it " Xiao Zhongheng slowly told Mrs. Pei about the dowry.

Pei's heart calmed down a little, and he carefully looked at Xiao Zhongheng's expression, seeing that he did not have any angry expression, so he breathed a sigh of relief.With a smile on her face, she felt that her current appearance seemed not dignified enough, she slightly brushed her temples with one hand, sat down gracefully in front of the vanity mirror, and looked at Xiao Zhongheng through the vanity mirror, "That's what my husband said, and I thought so too. "

Xiao Zhongheng raised his eyes to look at her, "You really think so." He obviously didn't believe it, he heard every word she said that day.

"Naturally." Mrs. Pei recruited Cui'er, who had been standing in the corner, and asked her to recomb her hair, while saying, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have been running around for a long time for that shop, it's just that my sister-in-law can do this. But how did your sister repay me, a sister-in-law who has not left the cabinet sold the maid in our room, is that plausible?"

Xiao Zhongheng was taken aback for a moment, thinking that he came here yesterday to tell her about this, but he was so angry that he forgot what she said.Now, she knows, "I agree with this."

Pei turned around, Tweet was so frightened that she withdrew her hand, Pei threw the box of rouge at Xiao Zhongheng with a bang, her eyes were red, she couldn't bear it anymore, and even her voice trembled, "Your enemy agreed? You want me to lose all my face so much?"

Xiao Zhongheng turned his head to avoid it, and couldn't help frowning, "What do you mean? My sister means it well."

"Good intentions?" Pei's gaze seemed to be able to eat people, "She is hoping that I will be said to be incompetent, and I can't even take care of the back house, and let a sister-in-law take care of it. But I have to bear the consequences. It is obvious that the master asked Aunt Gu to give it to him, so even the master will be dissatisfied with my daughter-in-law."

Xiao Zhongheng was very impatient with her nonsense, and he lost his mind and said to her, "Then your backyard is well taken care of? Do you know what those two maids did? They did this in the master's diet. Even if Ruan'er doesn't deal with the matter of prescribing the medicine, I will send them away. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of my sister's intentions for me."

"I didn't take care of the backyard? Don't you think about who caused troubles every day and asked Aunt Gu to send people here every time, saying that the master was very dissatisfied. What is the master dissatisfied with? Dissatisfied that my sister-in-law didn't take care of me Sister-in-law, but as for your younger sister, who comes from a family, but acts aggressively—"

"Enough." Xiao Zhongheng slapped the table, and looked at Pei as if he were a stranger, "So, when my sister is on a blind date, you just sit on the sidelines? Do you wish that Ruan'er will be succeeded by Cheng Kuo that day? ? Why are you so vicious!"

Saying that, without looking at Pei Shi again, she slammed her sleeves and left, "I'm sleeping in the study."

Pei's heart sank suddenly, his face turned pale, and his eyes were dull, "He heard it, he heard it all."

Cui'er approached at a loss, seeing her like this, she felt distressed and said, "Master, you are so stubborn... Today, the young master made it clear that he came to reconcile, but you are arguing with him again."

"Really?" Mrs. Pei murmured, tears finally fell down, but she felt extremely wronged in her heart, "This family can't stay anymore."

Why didn't she know how to have a good relationship with Xiao Ruan, but as a daughter-in-law, how could she not worry about the opinions of her elders?Sister-in-law is only at home for a while, but she will spend a long time with Gu Shi and the others in the future.It's good now, but she has two faces.

In Qingwei Pavilion, Lianqiao Zhuyun didn't even dare to speak.

Until Xiao Ruan tilted her head and asked, "Is the order going?" She was also very angry at Mrs. Pei, and she never expected Mrs. Pei to be so indiscriminate between right and wrong.

"I've told them not to reveal what happened today." Zhu Yun nodded, took a step forward and replied.

Xiao Ruan calmed down her anger and hugged Tuantuan.Tuantuan seemed to feel her anger, and stretched out his little tongue to lick her fingers, then raised his head to look at her, and made a flattering sound of "woo woo".

Xiao Ruan's heart softened all of a sudden, no matter how angry she was when she met such a cute little guy, she disappeared.

"Lianqiao combs my hair, and Zhuyun goes to prepare the carriage." Xiao Ruan looked at the girl in the room, "Linglong hasn't come back yet?"

"Sister Linglong went to investigate the man from Lixiangyuan that day." Lianqiao hurriedly said standing behind Xiao Ruan.

Xiao Ruan let out a "huh", and out of the corner of her eye, she fell on the piece of random memory notes on the table that was covered by white paper. Thinking of Pei Shi, thinking of Gu Shi... She hated in her heart, and only felt that she was If you are a cheap person, you will wholeheartedly want to help Pei's stand up.

This person still has to rely on himself sometimes.

Relying on the mountain to fall, relying on everyone to run.Only rely on yourself, the most real.

After a while, Zhuyun came back, "Miss, where are you going?"

This time, in fact, if it wasn't for Zhu Yun's cleverness, he might have really let those two girls succeed.

"Go to the Lu Mansion." Xiao Ruan looked at herself, who had brought some hostility to her eyebrows and eyes, blinked a few times, and then melted away the hostility in her eyebrows and eyes, "Has the news fermented?"

"The master will hear the news about today." Zhu Yun smiled slightly, his expression was full of certainty.

Xiao Ruan nodded, the girl Zhuyun, no matter in terms of speech, behavior or attitude, she is much better than ordinary maids.

Originally, he just wanted to test Zhuyun with this matter, but he didn't expect her to be so useful, so Xiao Ruan was willing to reveal his plan to her.

"Just in time, let's go out to avoid the master, lest he find me if he has nothing to do. Besides, once this matter is fermented, if I add more firewood and get what I want, it will be a pity. I will pay for it." reputation."

Zhuyun didn't expect Xiao Ruan to tell her these things, her face immediately became more happy, and her eyes looking at Xiao Ruan were sparkling, not like her calm look in the past.

It's just that there are some things that the eldest lady might tell her, but there are some things that she shouldn't ask.So even after knowing the purpose of the eldest lady, Zhu Yun didn't continue to ask where to add firewood.

Xiao Ruan really liked her, and nodded in satisfaction, not a talkative, very good.

She got up and asked Lian Qiao to change into a bright red long dress, which was very bright and charming, contrary to her usual plainness.

The carriage drove all the way to Lu's mansion, and stopped at a teahouse on North Street.

After a while, a boy wearing a cap rushed in.

Lian Qiao looked intently, and called out with some uncertainty: "Linglong?"

If it wasn't for the fact that Lianqiao and Linglong were so familiar, she would have been unable to recognize it as Linglong, "Why are you dressed like this?" At this time, Linglong was completely dressed like a man, and she was not as soft and delicate as before.

Linglong rolled her eyes, and patted Forsythia off her body, "It's convenient to be outside."

Xiao Ruan was also a little surprised, logically Linglong was sent by a servant from the outer sect to investigate the news outside, so it didn't make sense to go to the stage by herself.She rolled her eyes and thought of a possibility, "Where are the people left behind by the mother outside the second door?"

Hearing Xiao Ruan's question, Linglong straightened her face, "Miss, I was going to talk about this."

Linglong's expression was a little dignified, "I suspect that not all of us are outside the second door."

Xiao Ruan rubbed the teacup hand for a moment, "Oh? How should I say it?"

"Last time, a store under the Gu family robbed us of raw materials. The slaves set up a trap in advance and released a fake purchase price, but they were found out. It's okay to see through, but that store is higher than us. I got the raw material at one point."

Linglong said indignantly, "How could it be such a coincidence? So the slave suspects that someone inside us leaked the news, and the other party pressed that line just to provoke us."

Xiao Ruan was also taken aback when she heard this, she pondered for a moment and asked: "Did you see the person I sent the toothmaid that day?"

Linglong was taken aback for a moment, obviously she didn't expect Xiao Ruan to say this, "I see, this servant has arranged some simple work for her according to your instructions."

Xiao Ruan said "Yes", "That girl has a flexible head and is alert enough, you can use it. I will send you another person in two days."

For the betrayal, Xiao Ruan was not angry. In her previous life, she had seen many slaves who betrayed the master, and she would always make them pay the price.But now, the key lies in the shop.

"What's the situation in the shop these days?"

Linglong sorted out her thoughts, and quickly replied, "Except for the two families that have been gathered in the hands of the servants, the other families have been quite active these days. But——"

As if thinking of something, Linglong looked at Xiao Ruan with some hesitation.

Xiao Ruan tilted her head and said decisively, "Say."

Only then did Linglong continue, "I don't know where it came out, these days 'Master Xiao sells his daughter for glory, his concubine's concubine is ambitious and tries to cling to the rich and powerful'. The shopkeeper, who was shaken at first, shrank back."

Xiao Ruan nodded, after all, he was a shopkeeper who had earned both fame and fortune, so he cherished the feathers even more. If the benefits given by Gu's were not large enough, they would not have done such a betrayal.

Zhuyun and Lianqiao glanced at each other, then looked at Xiao Ruan.

There was no emotion on Xiao Ruan's face, only the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, "You record all these people, and if you know that you repent, you can stay in the post. After all, these experienced shopkeepers are not so easy to find."

Linglong agreed.

"Also—" Linglong couldn't help the smile on her face, "I don't know if someone is secretly helping. The news spread that there was an aunt behind those shops, and the local hooligans who were afraid in the past came to the door one after another. Those shops Business has not been very good during this time.”

Xiao Ruan was taken aback, she really hadn't thought about this method.

But I will help her, if not my cousin, then only my brother.As for the others, Xiao Ruan thought for a long time before finally shaking his head.
