The Concubine's Survival Manual

Chapter 222

With such two heavyweights unhappy, the atmosphere in the small flower hall is of course very strange, and the young masters and ladies who don't care about things just look around and don't care.The eldest and young master's family is still the same, watching the nose and the nose, and the two of them are unwilling to say a word.On the contrary, the Fourth Young Master and the Fourth Young Madam both understood and some did not understand, and the Fourth Young Madam continued to wink at Qin Niangzi, as if she meant to ask Qin Niangzi.

Seventh Lady just pretended not to see, she smiled and sang the oboe with Xu Fengjia, Xu Fengjia talked happily with the fifth young master about the affairs in the palace, and talked with the fourth young master about the unicorn class, and with the seventh young master about the new school teacher hired in the family school, Although it was enlightened to Shiro and Goro, it was also a jury back then. There were many things in the article, and the two young masters had more people to ask for advice.Qin Niangzi introduced the identity of the school teacher with a smile, and talked about what kind of play the unicorn class was invited to sing during the Chinese New Year... Try to make the atmosphere harmonious and harmonious, without making the scene too difficult.

Ping Guogong also showed a rare smile, and asked the fourth young master, "How is it at the official office? Is the situation open?"

The Fourth Young Master came back this time, as expected, he was transferred back to Beijing to serve as he wished, and now he is serving in the Infantry Yamen. Although it is a mediocre transfer, he won't have to go to the battlefield in this position, which is very much in line with Fourth Young Madam's wishes.It's been five or six days since I was on business now, and I'm busy eating sealed wine with my colleagues all day long, but I haven't come in to say hello for a few days.

Once the two sides talked like this, the scene became lively, and it didn't seem too conspicuous of Mrs. Tai's displeasure.Mrs. Tai looked at these juniors who were talking and laughing, but she felt more and more uncomfortable. She coughed a few times and said softly, "The old lady is not very energetic today. You are talking, I will go in and rest for a while."

Everyone immediately got up to send Mrs. Tai out, Pingguo said, "It's okay, since Yu sneaked into the Yamen, we haven't had dinner together yet. Feng Jia will accompany your fourth brother to serve me dinner tonight."

He intentionally or unintentionally left out the Fifth Young Master.

Mrs. Tai listened to her ears, and it seemed more and more like eating a sesame dumpling just out of the pan, and her throat was covered with lard, which was so greasy, but her mouth was still so hot that she couldn't open it.She wanted to say something, but she couldn't say it, she just went into the bedroom and leaned on the Kang, leaning on the big pillow and thinking about it.

I don't know how long it took before light footsteps came into the room, and Mrs. Wu said in a soft voice, "Grandmother is not in a good mood today, she just wants to drink Daisy Lily Tea, refreshing—"

Mrs. Tai didn't know where the anger came from. She opened her eyes, and impatiently pushed aside the tea bowl handed to her. The movement was a little louder, and she splashed hot water on Mrs. Fifth Young Madam's hands, scalding Mrs. Fifth Young Madam. Withdrawing his hand, the tea bowl slid to the ground with a crisp sound.

The Fifth Young Madam lowered her head and picked up a few pieces of broken porcelain unhurriedly, with no trace of grievance on her drooping eyebrows.Mrs. Tai saw it, and sighed irritably, but changed her tone and asked, "Did you get burned?"

Fifth Young Madam shook her head, raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Tai, then looked away, and said softly, "Yu Jing is not sensible, let grandma worry about you."

"Oh!" Madam Tai could only sigh. "At first, I thought this matter was covered up without anyone noticing it, but you showed your feet again... The house was full of ups and downs. If it weren't for your six younger siblings who are sensible, let's investigate further. I have an old face, if it is gone, it will be gone, where will the faces of you two be put?"

At this point, Mrs. Tai still thinks about Wufang's face.

It can be seen that he really loves Fifth Young Master.

The fifth young lady had endless thoughts in her mind, and in a blink of an eye, she thought of Seventh Lady's method again.

Even she felt a little chilly.

Yang Shanheng is so good!It was Mrs. Tai who hated her so much at the beginning, but now they call her 'your sixth younger sibling'.

"However, this Wu Xun's family didn't live up to it, and even made an account without telling you in private!" Mrs. Tai complained to herself. "If this incident is exposed, even I can't protect her! Duke Ping came in to see me just now, and I was almost ashamed. In the past five years to protect your housekeeper, something happened to Zhang Accountant's family, something happened to Wu Xun's family, let's talk about it." , Is it because you are not good at housekeeping?"

"Grandmother... do you really think that Wu Xun's family's eyes are so shallow?" Mrs. Wu slapped her eyelashes and spoke slowly.

Mrs. Tai's actions are just a meal.

She knocked on the kang table and thought deeply.

After a while, he said again, "Tell me the ins and outs of the matter again."

"When I checked the accounts this afternoon, the two accounts of Lin Shan's family and Peng Hu's family were not reconciled with the original account. The original account was in line with the actual account, but the original account was false. The account was checked by the foreign accountant. Live Hades, now called Wu Xun's family, Cai Le's family, went through a detailed investigation, and found that several times were wrong, it was all when Wu Xun's family was keeping accounts, and they were all after the accounts were settled in August, when the autumn harvest came in, and when the money was alive, they falsely reported in and out. "The Fifth Young Madam's narration was so calm that there was no ripple. "Three months later, the total income and expenditure was as much as 500 taels. The old mother made the decision and approved the six younger siblings. She went into Wu Xun's house and found a bag of 500 taels of silver. Everyone in the house said that seven The turmoil in Yueli’s account was caused by Wu Xun’s family framing Zhang Accountant’s family, Lin Shan’s family, and Peng Hu’s family, so there were rumors that she was a thief calling for a thief..."

"The sixth brother and sister said that this matter was too big and she couldn't decide, so they sent someone out to report it to the Duke of the country. The Duke of the country was very angry when he heard about it. He said that he would not have punished her too severely, but because she framed Zhang accountant's family almost killed her, so she was rewarded with a bowl of dumb medicine, and told her to go home and live there. She was not allowed to come out when she was free. Wu Xun has already gone out to plead guilty, and brought her two sons with her. They are all kneeling in Menghuaxuan, and they haven't gotten up yet."

Wu Xun's family has served the Xu family for more than 50 years, and it is not shameless to say the least.Yang Shanheng, a descendant of a concubine, even if he is the wife of the eldest son, it is not so easy to move the Wu family.But even Tian helped her, Duke Ping was so angry that he personally sent the Wu family down, leaving the Wu family with no excuse to complain about Yang Shanheng.

But in this way, she confirmed her suspicion on the official face, and made it clear that Wu Xun's family was so greedy for ink, it must not be a day or two. If the mistress of the house does not turn a blind eye, how can she be so bold?At that time, there was an explanation for burning those ledgers: Yang Shanheng had already seen that something was wrong, and he just wanted to take care of his sister-in-law and the old man in the house, so he made an exception...

She is responsible for all the good people, and Ping Guogong helps her to be the bad ones.Isn't such an abacus played loud enough?This method is really...

Mrs. Tai was stunned for a long time before she understood the twists and turns. She breathed a sigh of relief and said after a while, "So, it's Lin Shan's family, and Peng Hu's family made false accounts to frame Wu Xun's family. Yes, but you ain't—"

The Fifth Young Madam shook her head and smiled wryly, "These two mothers have already resigned on their own initiative. After this month's errands, they will change errands. Yang Shanheng said: "The plums in the melon field are under suspicion. Although they are innocent, there are also some crimes of negligence. Just punish them to move their nests. Grandma still doesn’t understand? It’s human nature to have red tops and whites, these two mothers have already seen the wind turn the other way!”

Mrs. Tai really has nothing to say.

To drag these two mothers into the water, it can only be said that they are guilty of negligence and should be punished-but Seventh Lady has already been punished!

"This girl is really impeccable in doing things." She said slowly, "The scheming is even more deep. I thought she really wanted to be steady and overdo it, so let's forget it. I didn't expect her to wait for the position of the head of the house. , to make trouble again... Sigh, after all, it is always your own subordinates who are not innocent!"

Unknowingly, she mentioned Qiniangzi's tone, and changed the tone again, bringing out a trace of coldness.

The Fifth Young Madam was so full of bitterness that she couldn't even express it.

Qin Niangzi used her own way to deal with her own body, and also used a fake account to make her lose a general in the army.

For a moment, she regretted a little: If she had known earlier, she would not have exposed this secret move of Wu Xun's family.

But immediately felt a little helpless: Even so, with Yang Shanheng's methods, he must be able to find out who has two hearts and who is a pure minister...

Fifth Young Madam slowly closed her eyes and swallowed again.

It seemed as if he wanted to swallow all the bitterness in his stomach.

When she spoke again, she was very pitiful again.

"Grandson's daughter-in-law knows she's wrong." She blinked, and then tears welled up from her eyelashes. "But grandma—the sixth sibling is really—"

Madam Tai looked at Madam Fifth Young Master, shook her head slowly, and sighed.

"Grandmother will decide for you!" Her tone was a little more complicated. "But it's different now. It's not as easy to suppress her as in the past when you suppressed her sister. It's as easy as suppressing her..."
