The Concubine's Survival Manual

Chapter 252

The most critical part of this matter is whether or not we can find physical evidence that can convince Ping Guogong.Otherwise, if the confession alone can be used to convict, Qin Niangzi will beat up Xiao Songhua immediately and force her to admit that Mrs. Tai ordered her to do so, then there will be no more troubles.It's just that after three years, even if Xiao Songhua will let go of her confession, whether she can find evidence is still a matter of debate.

Qin Niangzi tried her best to cheer up her spirits, and said calmly, "Whoever walks by, there will be no traces. Let's see when this girl lets go."

She pondered for a moment, then asked, "Sheng Luan, do you know which sister-in-law has the most dowries among these rooms?"

It stands to reason that it would be best to ask the old mother about this matter. Xu Fengjia touched her chin and said truthfully, "I don't know. Anyway, the four sisters-in-law together may not be able to accompany one daughter as much as your Yang family. Really. After all, these sister-in-laws also have many brothers in the family."

He paused, and then said, "Fourth brother is away all year round, and fourth sister-in-law's food and clothing are all at home. Even if there are any expenses, they are mostly rewards when they go out. Although this is nothing, but she Going out many times over the years is also an expense. I'm afraid I won't be able to save much living money in my hands over the years."

"As for the elder sister-in-law, her dowry is second to none. Elder brother has been in charge of the housework for so many years. I don't believe it if he says he hasn't saved a private house."

Seventh Lady hummed, and said thoughtfully, "But elder brother and elder sister-in-law never intervene in family affairs, even if they want to have a relationship with the Xiao family, I'm afraid..."

Xu Fengjia said with a half-smile, "Looking at it this way, you still suspect Fifth Sister-in-law more?"

"I've been thinking about it," Qin Niangzi didn't answer Xu Fengjia's question directly, but began to analyze it again. "Mother wants to say I'm sorry to the Xiao family, that is, the time when Xiao Dalong was transferred from the external accounting room, it is considered sorry to the Xiao family. Since Xiao Dalong is incompetent to the mother, it is nothing to transfer him. But in Xiao Dalong, it may be just because of this. Mother has resentment in her heart, and it's not impossible for Fifth Sister-in-law to give her some favors at this time, and he will turn to Fifth Fang."

"Wufang didn't do them much good for the Xiao family." Xu Fengjia disapproved very much, "Unless you count Miss Xiao's marriage on Wufang's head. But that's a long way off. Earning wealth on the waistband, not to mention that Wufang and the Qiu family may not be able to fight each other, even if they can, this marriage will not be very beautiful."

Qin Niang gave a hum, and said with her chin resting, "That's right, if Xiao Songhua refuses to let go, she can only wait for her cousin to send the details of the Qiu family. If you torture Qiu Zhi again, what can you ask?" , is what."

"If Xiao Songhua still refuses to let go, what are you going to do?" Xu Fengjia became more interested, leaning on the edge of the kang and asked lazily, "Let her go?"

Seventh Lady gave him a blank look, and said in a low voice, "If her brother-in-law wasn't Qiu Zhi, I'd probably just let it go. But since this matter is related to your injury, it can't be let go so easily. The Xiao family is gone."

A hint of evil flashed across her face, and then she sighed irritably, "But things haven't reached that point yet, and I don't want to mention too vicious methods."

Xu Fengjia pretended to be coquettish, "Can't you just tell me?"

Seventh Lady glared at him, half-truth and half-fake, "I'm afraid that after hearing this, you'll start to say that I'm a snake and a scorpion."

She didn't wait for Xu Fengjia to reply, and said, "However, the matter will not come to this point. It's a big deal. Please come forward and do me a favor. How can Xiao Songhua not speak? Just wait and see, at most After two days, she will definitely not be able to hold on anymore. Not being allowed to sleep is more terrifying than any torture."

Seeing Xu Fengjia's skeptical look, Qin Niangzi patted his nose again, "Otherwise, you can also try not to sleep for a day and a night, and you will know how powerful it is!"

"If I don't sleep, will you make trouble with me?" Mr. Xu rolled his eyes, grinning grinningly and going to draw the curtains, Qin Niangzi said straightly, "Don't make trouble, I still have something to do here!"

The young couple quarreled for a while, but Qin Niangzi insisted that she was not captured by Xu Fengjia, but was just wrapped in his arms, and the two of them leaned on the kang, talking about trivial things about their parents.Seventh Lady brought up the old matter again, and asked Xu Fengjia, "In your opinion, is Wufang's foundation solid or not?"

According to the usual practice, if there is no family separation, each house is not allowed to keep private money. Except for the dowry of the daughter-in-law, all the income of the men will be handed over and then distributed among the officials. Of course, this rule cannot be implemented too thoroughly.In the few houses, the fourth young master must have extra money from fighting the war, the eldest young master also has gray income as a housekeeper, and the fifth young master also has his wife's subsidy.

Xu Fengjia murmured, "Looking at Wu Ge's usual expenses, the family's monthly money is definitely not enough. However, Wu Sister-in-law's dowry is not much..."

Seventh Lady moved and reminded him, "Didn't you count the 15 taels?"

She narrowed her eyes thoughtfully again, and said softly, "I still don't understand why Fifth Sister-in-law would lie and pretend to cheat 10 taels from the old lady."

"Are you sure that's cheating?" Xu Fengjia disagreed, "According to the way the old lady loves Brother Wu, don't say it's 10 taels, if you find a good reason, you'll be willing to give 20 taels! How could she cheat?"

"I just can't figure this out." Qin Niangzi frowned, "The old lady definitely doesn't know about this matter, otherwise, with Fifth Sister-in-law's temperament, the old lady will definitely come forward and ask me to pay back some of the mothers in charge. We are all innocent. Last year's incident was not so easy to settle. It's just that I just don't understand, what's the matter, the fifth sister-in-law dare not tell the old lady, so she can only cheat secretly... Could it be that the old lady didn't allow her Usury?"

She sat up at once, her brows furrowed. "No, there must be an article behind this incident. In my opinion, I still need to invite my cousin—"

Before he finished speaking, Xu Fengjia had already interrupted Qiniangzi, and he showed a little displeasure, "After all, this matter is a family scandal. Is it nice to associate the Xu family's name with usury? Let your cousin Let's check, is he going to report it, or not?"

Qin Niangzi glanced at Xu Fengjia, and she let out a sigh of relief.

Although this man also has great opinions on Wufang, he is still an ancient man after all, and the idea that family ugliness should not be publicized is deeply rooted in him.No matter what Xiaosonghua said, she was a servant, but it was different when it was about Wufang.

She suppressed the urge to argue with Xu Fengjia: There are many things, there is no need for someone to win or lose.

"Sheng Luan." Seventh Lady said in a soft voice, "If it is possible, how can I hope to tell my cousin about this? It's just that you don't know that if the fate was right back then, cousin and fifth sister In between, there may not be a story... If you can do your best for Fifth Sister, your cousin will never say anything."

When it comes to Wu Niangzi, Xu Fengjia is always a little unnatural: after all, it is because he is not around all the year round and did not fulfill his duty of protection that Wu Niangzi passed away at a young age.

"Besides, I always feel that Fifth Sister-in-law's various actions are not right. The fifth sister's matter may be related to the whereabouts of the 10 taels. But such information is not something that Xiao Songhua or the Qiu family can provide us with. Yes, we need to investigate, or from top to bottom." She spoke softly and slowly analyzed for Xu Fengjia. "Even if the family ugliness is publicized, I have to publicize it once. I don't want you to be on the lookout for your own people's back arrows when you go to the battlefield... Shiro and Goro are still so young, and I'm a girl again. Without you, we three mothers What can I do?"

Maybe it was her rare show of weakness that pleased Xu Fengjia, or maybe it was her meticulous analysis that made the major general aware of the necessity of this matter.Xu Fengjia was silent for a while, but finally gave in reluctantly. "Okay, okay, you can say whatever you want, anyway, if you have something to ask, you don't know how to ask me, you just know to find your cousin."

The sour taste in the words can float for ten miles with the wind.

Qin Niangzi couldn't help laughing, "You are stupid, you have a specialization in art, don't I count on you for everything, so you are happy?"

She turned over, pressed Xu Fengjia intimately under her body, kissed the tip of his nose, and whispered, "Tonight, I..."

There was a smile in Xu Fengjia's voice, as he listened, he hummed repeatedly and agreed. "Okay, that's what you said! If you can't do it tonight, see how I punish you!"

But that night, Qin Niangzi almost failed to fulfill her promise.

Just after entering the first grade, Xiao Songhua had already sent a message and shouted a sign.
