Black-bellied Xianggong: Cute wife is not easy to mess with

Chapter 16
Mu Qingwan looked towards the west corner courtyard, and smiled, "It's just that it should be short." According to the timeline, every time Mu Qinglian went back to the countryside, she would try her best to dress herself as poorly as possible, Because of this, the old lady Guo always blamed Mu Changguang and Kang for berating her niece, forcing Mu Changguang to increase her allowance time and time again—a few allowances are nothing at all, but she For the sake of a few filthy money, Mu Qingwan would not hesitate to slander the big house of the Mu family. This was really intolerable for Mu Qingwan, and she had to resort to tricks to cut off her small thoughts.

Following Mu Qingwan's gaze, Xiao Cui'er looked towards the west corner courtyard, and suddenly understood something, stopped persuading her, lowered her head and found an old dress from last year, and handed it to Mu Qingwan.Mu Qingwan put on a change and saw that the skirt, cuffs, and skirt were all shortened. She nodded in satisfaction, sat down in front of the dressing table, and asked Xiao Cui'er to help her comb an extremely simple hairstyle, and then picked out A few pieces of cheap jewelry were put on.

After dressing up, she went to the main room and found that everyone was already there. Mu Changguang had trimmed his beard and looked much more energetic than usual; It's like going to the market; Mu Qinglian is just like the timeline said, she is wearing a lot of shabby clothes than usual, and it looks like she did it on purpose. I really don't know if Mu Changguang and the Kang family didn't see it, or they did. Do not say.

When Mu Qingwan walked in, everyone had surprised expressions on their faces. Kang asked first, "Qingwan, why are you wearing old clothes from last year? What about the new spring clothes this year?"

Mu Qingwan glanced at Aunt Luo, and said: "Aunt Luo is biased. When I made this year's spring clothes last winter, I made four for my fourth sister, but I only had two. How can I wear them? Now, those two are already gone. It's still not dry after washing, so I naturally have to turn out last year's clothes and wear them." Although the Kang family is responsible for all these matters, she can't compete with Aunt Luo at all, so in fact Aunt Luo is the one who decides.

When Mu Changguang heard the words, he immediately looked at Aunt Luo with dissatisfaction - he was still angry about the Bai family's affairs, and after Mu Qingwan's complaint, he became even more dissatisfied with Aunt Luo.

Almost instantly, Aunt Luo acted like she was acting, her eyes filled with tears, and she cried: "My lord, I'm not partial, it's to prevent my relatives and friends from gossiping, after all, Qinglian..."

After all, Mu Qinglian is an orphan living in the big house, if she is treated harshly, let alone the third and fourth house of the Mu family, the old lady will be the first to be upset.Mu Changguang immediately understood Aunt Luo's unfinished intentions, his face softened, and he just said: "You can do more for Qinglian, but you can't do less for Qingwan. Our family is not short of money. This year, you must give Qingwan more money." Add two sets."

Mu Qingwan's mouth is really powerful, she changed two sets of clothes for herself with one sentence, but no matter what, it's good to be able to keep the power to control the family affairs, Aunt Luo felt lingering fear and patted her chest involuntarily.

Mu Qingwan glanced at Aunt Luo, secretly startled, she really underestimated this aunt, she managed to resolve the crisis with just a few words, it seems that being favored for three years was not entirely due to luck, she had to be more careful in the future Take precautions.

Mu Qinglian still hated Aunt Luo, wishing to return the two extra clothes to her, so as not to accept her love, but she knew very well that her biggest enemy right now was still Mu Qingwan, as long as she stood in front of her , she will always be just a dispensable supporting role, so... she looked Mu Qingwan up and down, and asked: "Didn't the third sister ask the third and fourth aunts for two pieces of jewelry, why didn't they wear them?"

Mu Qingwan said casually: "This time when I go back to my hometown, I have to bring some gifts for the old lady, so I sold those two pieces of jewelry and bought a walking stick for the old lady." A cane with an elegant style and high-quality materials stood there, which she asked Xiao Cui'er to buy yesterday.

Mu Qinglian always only remembers complaining in front of the old lady, but never buys gifts to curry favor with her. Seeing this, she can't help but panic. She won't be compared by Mu Qingwan because of this, right?Although the old lady never liked Mu Qingwan, she couldn't help but brought a gift to please her and act obediently?Or, she also went to the street to buy one?But time is running out, what to do, what to do?Mu Qinglian was so anxious that she was about to cry.

When Mu Changguang heard that Mu Qingwan had specially prepared a gift for the old lady, he was very pleased. He didn't pay attention to what Mu Qinglian was thinking, so he waved his hand and took the lead to walk outside.

Mu Qinglian had no choice but to cry, and fell behind, dragging Aunt Luo to ask for help. Aunt Luo wanted to make her suffer a little, so she realized the benefits of being a little aunt, so she ignored her, broke free from her sleeves and went after Mu Changguang.

Mu Qinglian couldn't help it, so she could only walk out of the gate with the large group of troops and boarded the carriage going to the countryside with a heart of turmoil.

The car wheeled all the way to the north, out of the city gate, and drove up the country road. Gradually, you could see the Mujia Village with the smoke from the cooking.

Over the past few years, the Mu family has relied on the money and goods brought back by the autumn wind to build a green brick courtyard, buy hundreds of acres of fertile land, and hire a lot of long-term and part-time workers. .When they arrived, it was the busy season of farming, and every household was busy with spring sowing in the fields, but Mu Qingwan's two uncles set up a dice table in the middle of the yard. The third and fourth uncles each led groups of concubines, Separated the two sides of the gaming table, yelling three times and drinking four times, having a great time gambling; her cousins ​​were playing on the other side of the yard, rolling like mud monkeys, seeing the uncle's family coming in, I don't know how to say hello.

Mu Changguang came back with a lot of things. As soon as the carriage stopped, he called the three and four to move. A group of people rushed into the main room after moving noisily.During this period, no one mentioned the matter of Yu's family. It seems that the ancient information is blocked, and what happened in the city the day before yesterday has not yet spread here.

Wearing old clothes that were too short, Mu Qingwan presented a new crutch to the old lady Guo, and said to Lu and Yu embarrassingly: "Aunts, I'm really sorry. I wanted to buy a good crutch for the old lady, but I didn't have enough money, so I had to sell the jewelry given by the two aunts."

What? !She sold the gold bracelet and jade pendant? ?That's a real real guy!Did she pick up a bargain for nothing, or did she let someone else pick it up for nothing?Lu Shi and Yu Shi guessed in their hearts, they both felt panicked, the expressions on their faces were so ugly that they couldn't even squeeze out a smile.

Seeing this, Mrs. Guo was not happy, and said: "Could it be that the friendship you give jewelry is not as good as Qing Wan's filial piety? Although it is bestowed by the elders, it cannot be sold easily, but she is also buying me a walking stick, isn't it? I feel better, are you unhappy?"

Lu Shi and Yu Shi didn't dare to offend the old lady, they hurriedly said they didn't dare, and finally squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying.

Guo Shi turned to Mu Qingwan, patted her head kindly, and said with a smile: "It's still Qingwan and filial, it's worthwhile for me to hurt you."

Well, these words are as false as Mu Changguang's. As expected of mother and son, there is no mention in the timeline that she has ever loved this deity. He smiled sweetly at Mrs. Guo, pretending to be in harmony with his grandparents and grandchildren.

Mu Qinglian stood aside, her feet seemed to have thorns, and she couldn't stand still.Just when she was about to sneak out quietly, taking advantage of the crowd, Mu Qingwan's voice sounded at the right time: "Old lady, don't bother to praise me, in fact, the fourth younger sister's filial piety to you is the same."

Mu Qingwan definitely did it on purpose!Definitely on purpose!She knew that she didn't prepare a gift, but she said that on purpose, can the old lady let her go? !You know, the old lady is the most greedy and greedy person in the Mu family!Mu Qinglian felt the cold sweat running down her back, and gave Mu Qingwan a bitter look.

Mu Qingwan smiled back, which made her panic even more.

Mu Qinglian was not wrong, the Guo family paid the most attention to the filial piety of their children and grandchildren, and in her opinion, the best way to express filial piety is to give her money and gifts. On weekdays, she only felt that Mu Qinglian was pitiful, so she never I thought about what I wanted from her, and I always defended her; when I compared it with Mu Qingwan today, I felt something was wrong—Mu Qingwan was obviously wearing the old clothes from last year, and she was willing to sell her jewelry for her. to buy crutches; and because of her maintenance, Mu Qinglian has earned a lot of pocket money over the years, but she has never seen her show filial piety.

The more Guo thought about it, the more unhappy she became, she immediately called Mu Qinglian over, pointed at Sang Huai and scolded Huai for a long time, and she didn't stop until her eyes were red.

Guo Shi, who is greedy for money and loves to take advantage of small things, is really easy to deal with. Mu Qingwan sat down relaxedly, secretly thanking herself for her timeline, which is very detailed. Scum, she can persuade a point or two, so it's worth the money.

His daughter was praised by the old lady for the first time. Mu Changguang felt that his face was bright, cleared his throat, and got to the point, saying: "Do you know that the previous marriage between the Yu family and the Li family has not been rescinded?" Yes, it was their eldest wife's birthday the day before yesterday, and the Li family father and son charged in with butcher's knives and almost killed their eldest wife! Fortunately, our Qingwan and clever reminded me to urge the Yu family to go to court, so I paid it back. Our Mu family is innocent, and returned the marriage beautifully." He said, thinking of the money he got from the Yu family, he was in a good mood, and laughed: "You don't know, do you? My master, Yu Tianshi, was sentenced to one and a half years in prison by the magistrate of Liang County, how can this prison be so easy to sit in, he will have to peel off his skin if he doesn't die!"

The Yu family has only one son, but he is engaged to both the Li family and the Mu family?They had lied to each other for so long, and the truth came to light only when the Li family came to the door? !It was the first time for the old lady Guo and the third-bedroom couple to hear about this, and they were all stunned.

This matter turned out to be a secret, why is the Yu family's luck so bad? !The four-bedroom couple looked unnatural, and they both turned their heads away.

The Li family actually came to the door? !Back then, he spent a lot of effort to grab the Yu family's pigtails. He kept it a secret, and no one told him about it. How did Li Jiayuan get the news when he was in De'an County?Shi Tianci was very shocked, but he didn't dare to show it at all, and quickly lowered his head.

　I wish you all a happy Dragon Boat Festival!
