The Concubine's Survival Manual

Chapter 283

These few things are all categorical, there is no room for excuses, and they are indeed true.What Qiniangzi concealed was only her guess: Regarding the whereabouts of the 10 taels of silver, even Mrs. Tai was deceived by Mrs. Wu Shao.The 10 taels of silver were cheated out by Mrs. Wu Shao.

Only Madam Wu was cheated out of the money, so she didn't dare to tell Mrs. Tai that she used the account book to set up a trap against Liufang, which made Mrs. Tai come forward to intercede for Wufang, and confirmed Wufang's reputation as greedy.

Only Mrs. Tai didn't know that the 10 taels of silver had gone to Guangzhou, she would never ask about the boat charter, and even be indifferent to Qiu Zhi's life and death...

According to Qi Niangzi's speculation, Mrs. Wu may have told Mrs. Tai that she needs some money to make up for the shortfall and make up for the financial crisis that may arise after Wu Niangzi gave birth—for example, to withdraw money from the usury banker. , also takes a while.With this excuse, he cheated out of Mrs. Tai's private house.

Of course, there is no need for Duke Ping to know about these things.

All he needs to know is that Mrs. Tai has become so biased that she not only sits back and watches Wufang embezzle Mr. Mo’s Chinese bank and buys a private property outside, but even surpasses Mr. Pingguo and sells her dowry privately for Wufang. It takes two full dollars to run the boat.

Although Duke Ping was a bastard, he was able to inherit the title because Mrs. Tai adopted him as her adopted son.Logically speaking, this dowry should be inherited by Duke Pingguo, and what the grandchildren can get is only a limited amount of souvenirs.It can be said that Mrs. Tai's actions not only hurt the unspoken rules that are indispensable for the establishment of a family in a big family, but also hurt the mother-child relationship between the Duke of Heping.

When Ping Guogong looked down again and saw Mrs. Fifth Young Master admitting that Mrs. Tai knew about the matter of administering medicine, he was even less surprised.

Even Mrs. Tai actively helped with the engulfment of public property, but it was just a drug, so what is it?

The fifth young lady's analysis of Mrs. Tai was naturally taken into consideration by Ping Guogong.Although the Fifth Young Madam's writing style is sharp and her language is harsh, is it true that she speaks in a reasonable way?It is even more credible because it was done by Mrs. Fifth Young Madam.

In order to quarrel with his wife, he made this family into this state, and what a disturbance it caused... Mrs. Tai is not disrespectful, but what is it?
After reading this letter, Duke Ping has no temper at all.

He pondered for a while, but still blamed Qin Niangzi.

"You still made too much noise about this incident." Duke Ping's attitude was more than mild, and he said slowly, "After all, there is a concubine who misses her mother in the palace. , how do you explain it?"

There was a wry smile on Qin Niangzi's lips, "Father, even if this matter did not reach the palace, the fifth sister-in-law died suddenly, and the fifth brother left, I still have to explain to the concubine...I am going to bring this letter into the palace. , Show the concubine a look."

Duke Ping couldn't help but clenched the letter paper tightly, thought for a while, and then smiled wryly along with Seventh Lady. "Okay, let's not hide it. Let the concubine decide what is right and what is wrong."

Thinking of Mrs. Tai's actions over the years, he felt as if he had eaten a whole piece of fat, which made him feel sick. He let out a long breath and asked wearily, "Then this time, old man?" And why did you get into such a fight with you?"

When he asked the question twice, Duke Ping's words had changed significantly, from "the seventh lady is making trouble" to "the old man is making trouble".

Qin Niangzi replied calmly, "Grandmother hopes that Fifth Brother can continue his strings in the capital and stay near the capital and not go far to Yunnan. The old man wants me to speak up and plead with my father and mother. Xiao Qi refuses to follow. It's gotten to this point."

She also explained to Ping Guogong, "Originally, I wanted to take out this boat deed at the time, because it involved my grandmother, and I'm afraid everyone would not be able to face it. I thought that when I had a chance in the future, I would tell my father privately." Explanation……"

Duke Ping waved his hand, already full of bitterness.

There is really no fuel-efficient lamp in this house.Compared with a person like Yang who puts his strength on the surface, compared with Mrs. Tai who is kind on the surface and makes trouble in private, he has already lost a bit.

Parents always want a bowl of water to be level, and take care of whoever they think is weaker.

"Does your grandmother know that the ship contract has been exposed?" He asked, paused, and added, "Have you confronted her about the drug administration?"

Qin Niangzi's eyes were like water, and she replied sincerely, "I don't know what to say about the ship contract, but I did say a few words about the medicine, and grandma left her mouth, but at that time we were only two people alone in the back hall... There is no proof."

When she came to Menghuaxuan today, she did not intend to tell lies. Every word she uttered could withstand Duke Ping's interrogation, thinking and interrogation.So her attitude was extraordinarily frank and straightforward.

Seeing this, Ping Guogong couldn't help thinking again.

After a while, he said softly, "Okay, I see, you guys go back first, and don't tell anyone about this."

Seeing that both Qin Niangzi and Xu Fengjia stood up without hesitation, Ping Guogong couldn't help but smile, "Don't forget to take the boat deed with you. Let's keep this account book first."

The account book was kept, of course to confront Mrs. Tai, after all, Qin Niangzi just copied a copy according to the format, and did not steal the original.But this confrontation is only a superficial effort: if Qiniangzi is stupid enough to forge such important evidence, she will not be able to sit in her current position.

Xu Fengjia's face was a little more surprised, "Father, this is 15 taels of silver!"

Duke Ping glared at him, "Did I say I would give it to you?"

There was a bit of disgust on his face, "It's just that it is here and dirty my table!"

Xu Fengjia wanted to say something more, but Qin Niangzi had already tugged on his sleeve, so he stopped talking, just stepped forward with his mouth pursed and pulled the boat deed into his sleeve. "Give it to me, and I won't spit out."

Duke Pingguo asked him to take it away, and of course he was going to give it to him. No one could fail to understand this subtext. Seventh Lady gave Xu Fengjia a white look, saluted Duke Pingguo, and stood up. Pulling Xu Fengjia to quit Menghuaxuan.

The man had already reached the door, and Duke Ping coughed again.

Seventh Lady turned around and saw Duke Ping looking at her meaningfully. He asked, "There is another statement about the matter of administering medicine in Mrs. Zhang's letter. What do you think, Ms. Yang?"

Qin Niangzi replied without hesitation, "There is no evidence at all, so what if you believe it, so what if you don't believe it? It's better not to think about it, just live a good life."

These words have already reached Duke Pingguo's heart.

Although the Xu family is prestigious, there is no real evidence. If you want to question any young lady, you must be wary of the wife's natal family making a fuss to support your daughter. At that time, everyone's face will be too ugly.

Although this matter is ugly, there is no evidence, and it is indeed the only way to forget it.

He nodded to Qin Niangzi, his words were meaningful. "If you think like this, Dad will be much more at ease."

It was the first time that Ping Guogong was so friendly to Qin Niangzi, and even called himself father.

Qin Niangzi smiled slightly, then turned around and left the room with Xu Fengjia.

As soon as Xu Fengjia came out of Menghuaxuan, she became active, "When you talk about family affairs, you always listen to your wife... Could it be possible that the family affairs were not decided by the mother in the past? One finger points to others, and four fingers point to oneself!"

Qin Niangzi wanted to cover his mouth, "You can't say a few words! I've never seen you like this before—you are like a child in front of your father. You can be stubborn if you have a stubborn temper!"

The young couple fought and complained to each other all the way, and when they returned to the house, Xu Fengjia took out the boat deed and gave it to Seventh Lady, "You take this away."

Qiniangzi said calmly, "Take it, and give it to Shiro and Goro in the future."

She paused, and then said, "If it wasn't for the 15 taels of silver, Fifth Sister wouldn't..."

Xu Fengjia didn't say anything, but still put the boat deed into Qiniangzi's hands, "If you want to give it to Shiro and Goro, you are the one to keep it."

Qin Niangzi no longer refused, opened her safe, put two things in it, and thoughtfully said, "Today's Leshan Juli, it's a lot of fun to watch."

Xu Fengjia also smiled, "It's a pity that we are not lucky enough to be there in person. There are many things, and it is difficult to know the details."

Seventh Lady just laughed and didn't speak.

When Xiao Huangpu combed her hair the next morning, he learned to tell Seventh Lady, "Oh, it was quite lively. When the Duke came in, he first asked about the account book, and then asked Mrs. Tai about the ship charter. Mrs. The madam still said she didn't know, but then the grandpa patiently told her one by one, and the madam's face turned ashen, he was stunned for a long time, and passed out again... The grandpa called people to go Please sir..."

The biggest blow to a person is not how much torture and pain she suffers physically, but the destruction of her most valued spiritual pillar.

Mrs. Tai does not need to know about the boat contract, but Fifth Young Master will definitely know about it. After all, there are many things that require him to come forward.For example, if there is a huge amount of 15 taels of bank notes, then the fifth young master must come forward to redeem them.

The Fifth Young Madam lied to herself, the Tai Madam might not feel anything, but even the Fifth Young Master lied to herself... This is a big blow to the Tai Madam.

Qin Niangzi looked at herself in the mirror, and she slowly showed a happy smile.

After this incident, both Mrs. Tai and Fifth Household have withdrawn from the stage of the Duke's Mansion ahead of schedule.It was already impossible, and he had no intention of causing any impact on Liufang's status as the eldest son.
