daily life

Chapter 122

After he went to the outer courtyard, Xiang Zhixuan talked with the maids who stayed here for a while.They have served her for more than three years, and they have some affection, but the old lady arranged for her to be with her at first, and they were not at ease in their hearts, so they were placed here.The maids have a leisurely life, and there are a lot of monthly appointments, so everyone is happy.

The next day, Qian You followed Xixiu to treat the elders with tea.

The old lady was sick in bed and couldn't get up, but the rewards were very precious, one could tell they were treasures at the bottom of the box.Qian Youmei was overjoyed, and when she returned to her room, she compared the old lady's reward with that of Ning's, and immediately felt that the latter's hand was poor.Later, he asked Xiao Lian, the servant girl who stayed in the third master's room all the time: "When the fourth grandma served tea, what did the old lady reward her?"

Xiao Lian heard what she meant, and felt a little petty in her heart, but now that this man is the owner of the courtyard, she couldn't show her disgust, but said truthfully: "But the two pieces of jasper jewelry are nothing compared to the treasures that the old lady rewarded you .”

Qian Youmei smiled openly.

"But, third grandma—" Xiao Lian was worried that she would be too happy to make a show of her words and deeds, and she was also afraid that she would get into trouble if she didn't know it, "a few days ago, the old lady rewarded fourth grandma with some treasures at the bottom of the box, but the situation was a bit strange .”

"Oh?" Qian Youmei leaned forward, "Tell me what's going on."

Xiao Lian then told the story of the old lady calling Xiangzhi to Songhe Hall for the first time.Of course, I don't know all the details, I just said what I heard.

Qian Youmei was thoughtful, took a sip of tea, and said, "It's all right anyway, tell me what happened in the mansion recently—it's the big and small things after the fourth grandma came in."

Xiao Lian wished that she knew what she knew and would tell everything she had heard.

The more Qian Youmei heard it, the worse her complexion became.

The two masters and servants were talking here, and the second master went to the desolate place in the east of the city according to the "creditor"'s order, and handed over the bank notes to redeem Xi Peng and get back the IOU.

In a short period of time, Xi Peng lost a lot of weight, his complexion was withered and yellow, and his eyes were dull, as if he had been severely abused, but except for a few welts, there were no other wounds on his body.

"The fourth brother must have done it, I'm going to kill him. The fourth brother must have done it, I'm going to kill him..." On the way back to the mansion, he turned a deaf ear to the second master's question, and just repeated these words in a daze. rhetoric.

Back in the mansion, Xi Peng seemed to have just woken up from a big dream, and rushed into the Songhe Hall, calling for his grandmother with sobs.

"Grandmother is here, here..." The old lady struggled to sit up.

The second lady has been waiting here for a long time, and she is about to get up to welcome her out.

Xi Peng hurried to the old lady's bed, knelt down on the bed with a plop, grabbed the hands of the old lady and the second lady with both hands, and cried bitterly: "Grandmother, mother, I thought I would never see you again." It's..."

The 16-year-old was crying like a helpless and aggrieved child for a while.
