Chapter 146

There is a garden in Ninghui Hall. Although it is not big, it was arranged brick by tile, plant and tree by the master master hired from Suzhou. It looks very refreshing but not luxurious.

Xu Jiatong looked at it and felt that even the garden in the Ma Mansion could not be compared. No wonder Xu Xiaozu always said that there were no luxury people in the mansion, but the money kept flowing out like running water.Little do they know that the visible place is just the overhead of ordinary running water, and the invisible place is the big expense.

Mrs. Lin was in the wing room at the other end of the garden. When she saw the two of them coming, she coughed displeasedly: "Jiatong, although Dai's mansion is different from ordinary people, you are still an unmarried girl after all. Who taught you the rules."

Xu Jiatong went forward to salute and greet him, got up and said: "It's really inconvenient to be outside, but Master Dai said, his words are the rules, and my father has always asked me to listen to Master Dai's arrangements, so I have to obey, I hope mother will not Strange."

"Mother, look, she doesn't know what's wrong at all. You don't know yet, she brought the chief steward of Dai's mansion back to support her, very arrogant." Xu Jialan added embellishment and authenticity.

As if she didn't hear it, Mrs. Lin lifted her lips and said, "There is nothing wrong with listening to Master Dai's words, but you have to have a priority and think about everything for yourself. Can Master Dai still be responsible for the loss of your boudoir's reputation? What's more I can't blame Master Dai for the incident. I first heard that you were robbed by gangsters near Yang's mansion, and then I saw people from Dai's mansion pass on the news. It took two hours to tell you about these two. What did you do all the time?"

"I don't understand what mother is talking about. I walked around in front of Yang's mansion and heard that Mrs. Yang was not in the mansion. I was about to leave when I ran into a young man from Dai's mansion. Have you ever been robbed by villains? Surely Someone is making trouble out of nothing, no wonder Third Sister Cai was also suspicious when she spoke just now, if you find this person out, I want to ask him how he saw it." Xu Jiatong directly denied.

Xu Jialan glanced at her, and gloatingly said: "You just admit it, being robbed by the gangsters is not what you want. Tell me what wronged you have suffered, and we can make decisions for you."

"That's right, Jiatong, the west is no better than Kunshan. There are many nobles and villains. If you explain the matter clearly, I will send more people to protect you." Lin looked at her.

Xu Jiatong looked at them, and there was a little anger in his voice: "I don't know what that person said in front of my mother to make you believe her so much. Even if the person who can send a letter to the mansion is not a servant of the mansion, it is someone who is with you." There is a friend in the family, or he is waiting to receive the reward. If he saw that I was robbed by the gangster, why didn't he call for help? Even if he didn't dare to call for help on the spot, why didn't he save me after reporting the letter? Such a person said The words are not credible at all, but my mother still uses these words to test me."

After learning that Xu Jiatong had run away, Lin didn't expect to use this incident as an excuse to blackmail her, but just wanted to test whether she realized that they were behind the scenes.Now it seems that Xu Jiatong already knew the general situation of the matter, and even thought of a way to make things round.

"Since you said no, then there is no more. However, with this villain who makes a fuss out of nothing and is greedy for rewards, the world outside is not peaceful. You don't have to go out of the house these days, and stay at home to be a female celebrity, embroider It is also good to embroider dowry, rest assured." Lin said.

"Mother, she has obviously lost her reputation, why don't you pursue it? If she is exposed after marrying the Yang family, won't she implicate us? Let someone testify and see what she has to say. "Xu Jialan said relentlessly.

Xu Jiatong immediately responded with a sarcasm: "It would be best if you can find it, but I'm afraid that if you find it, you won't be able to stand up to interrogation. In order not to be said to be filthy, don't ask people here when they come, just bring them with you." Go to the yamen. I can sit up straight, but I have to ask this villain who spreads rumors."

"You...you...have a needle in your mouth and a gun with a stick, aren't you implying that my mother and I framed you? You doubt your mother and sister, which is not filial or fraternal." Xu Jialan held back her anger, as if she was sure that she would not take advantage of it. upper hand.

Xu Jiatong looked at her and said nothing. They must have understood that she knew about it, but they were still doing this scene. They probably wanted to get a result that each took a step back.

Furthermore, they were sure that even if she could expose the conspiracy, there would be nothing she could do in this Ding'anhou's residence, and she couldn't always use the people of the Dai family as amulets.

"Jialan, if she says no, she won't. She won't let outsiders say that I, the stepmother, bullied her. But the Yang family is serious. Letting them hear bad things, isn't it to destroy It's a good match." Lin winked at Xu Jialan.

Lin was not without scruples, it would be best if Xu Jiatong could quietly admit that he was dumb, but Xu Jiatong not only escaped, but also found someone from Dai's mansion as a backer, things would be different.

Once people from Dai's mansion get involved, the news of this matter will reach the ears of the Yang family.No matter what hidden illness Yang Zhongtian had, he would never want a woman with a ruined reputation to be his daughter-in-law. How could she send Xu Jiatong, a thorn in his side, to suffer?
Lin and Xu Jialan took a long time to pick out this marriage in Yang's Mansion. Even if Xu Jiatong was tortured to death in Yang's Mansion, this marriage was a good one on the surface. Outsiders would only say that her stepmother was The prostitute left behind by the original spouse has found a good marriage and will not criticize her.And the Marquis of Ding'an's Mansion will also receive great help from the Yang Mansion, and it is just around the corner for Xu Jialan to sit on the throne of Princess Xiang.

Such a beautiful and real marriage cannot be easily ruined no matter what.

"What mother said is that no matter what you have to think about your sister's marriage, even if it's nothing. Fourth sister, you just stay at home and wait to get married. It's better to ignore other things. " Xu Jialan echoed.

Xu Jiatong glanced at her and reminded: "You don't have a long memory anymore. My father just said that as long as Master Dai ordered me to do it, I will do it well. Even if it is only for Master Dai, I still have to go out of the house. of."

"Don't talk too hard. In my father's eyes, as long as someone from the Xu family can be the Dai family's job, no matter who it is. It's you today and me tomorrow. It's not just you. There are many women with outstanding arts. The reason why Master Dai chose you must have taken a fancy to our Xu family's connections in the palace weaving, and you were the only Xu family woman in front of him at that time. But now there are still With me, let me replace you, everything will be different." Xu Jialan's smile is like a gorgeous peony, flamboyant.

"Dare to ask, what's the difference?" Xu Jiatong looked at her and then at Lin.
