The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 266

Although the old man can be called an old fox, he has always doted on the eldest daughter of his first wife.When she said this, she made the old man a little embarrassed.

"You have done a good job, why do your sisters-in-law see your jokes? Don't listen to those gossips. Now you only take good care of your son-in-law and respect your mother-in-law. It is a decent thing. Don't get involved in these right and wrong."

Aunt Gan slapped her thigh and yelled strangely: "Father also knows that this is right and wrong? But why are you not in a hurry! Money is a good thing, but it is not as good as the lives of our family. Important. If I knew that you were thinking about finding the dowry for your brother and daughter-in-law back then, I wouldn't say anything to help you propose such a marriage."

The old man was so ashamed by his daughter's words that he became more and more angry: "You, you damn girl, I am your father. How dare you speak to me like this!"

"Before I talked about the marriage of looking for my brother and daughter-in-law, I made it clear that although the Lin family has a lot of money, there are also many people staring at them. Let's not say that the Jia family is a serious family of looking for a brother and daughter-in-law. What about the Xing Mansion? The two families are in charge of the Lin family's money, and if my father spends even a little, he will be punished."

Aunt Gan said earnestly: "Why did the Ouyang family lose so quickly, why did the Xing family take over this house so easily, why didn't father think about it? Everyone said that the master of the Xing family was magnanimous, and the wife of the Xing family was polite." Being courteous is actually all fake. Who doesn't know that if you have an enmity with the Xing family, the other party will definitely destroy his family and die until you die."

In order to achieve her goal, Aunt Gan exaggerated the horror of the Xing family as much as possible.

Although the old man did not believe it completely, he had also heard the rumors that Ouyang's family had moved out in desperation.

He looked at his daughter hesitantly: "Is this kind of statement accurate?"

"Why does father think I'm here today? It's because my step-wife has gone too far. The Xing family couldn't stand it anymore, so they invited me in quietly." Aunt Gan blushed, "At that time, I wished I could find a place to work." Just getting in is better than letting Mrs. Xing make a lot of comparisons between me and my step-wife."

The old man blew his beard and stared: "No matter how bad she is, she is now your mother. Don't say such unfeeling words again."

The eldest aunt snorted coldly in her heart, but she quickly apologized with a smile: "Yes, yes, what my father taught me is that I should be more polite when I meet my step-wife from now on. However, my father can't delay the matter of finding my brother and daughter-in-law. Now the fifth prince It is because of his power that even the empress dare not speak ill of him in front of the emperor, if the fifth prince finds out that we are acting like this, how can His Highness let it go?"

The old man was still skeptical: "Tell me. My brother-in-law and daughter-in-law are just a adopted daughter of Mrs. Xing's family. Could it be that the fifth prince can really stand up for her?"

"Father is confused. Think about it. Mrs. Xing was able to take an orphan who was not related by blood back as her own. What can she do with her adopted daughter? Speaking of which, the emperor also found a mother for the fifth prince. The concubine is a girl from Liu Guogong's mansion, how did it turn out? I heard that she will only go to pay her respects once in a few days, and it's just fine on the surface. On the other hand, she treats the Xing family as if she is a real father and mother!"

Hearing this, the old man was already a little loose.

Just at this time, a young servant from outside stumbled in and ran in, and the old man saw that the young servant was the person next to the youngest son.Goodbye, the other party was sweating profusely and panting out of breath, so the old lady hurriedly asked what was the matter.

The boy cried and said with a sad face: "Old master, something is wrong, our seventh master, he, he."

The step-wife and daughter-in-law who just got the news also rushed in. When the step-wife heard the boy stammering and his words only stopped at Master Seven, she stomped anxiously: "What's wrong with Master Seven?"

The little servant trembled and said: "Master Seven just bumped into the third prince in front of the palace gate, now the third prince has been thrown off his horse, and our seventh master was captured by the people from Zhenfusi."

When the step-wife heard this, her legs went limp and she fell to the ground.

Grandma Seven was in a daze at first, but when she understood the meaning of the boy's words, she burst into tears with snot and tears, looking quite embarrassed.

The great aunt secretly smiled in her heart, admiring the current appearance of the stepwife, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law very much.

Being an old lady is not completely confused, knowing that this incident is very strange, why did my son run to the palace gate for no reason, how could he have the guts to confront the third prince?

The old man's eyes fell on his daughter: "Why don't you call Mrs. Lin to discuss ideas?"

Aunt Gan spread her arms and said with a smile: "What is this called by the father, the seventh brother did such a thing, why are we looking for a nephew and daughter-in-law?"

The step-wife also suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, the Lin family and the fifth prince are on good terms, aren't they? Tell her to take care of the seventh prince."

The eldest aunt looked at the step-wife angrily: "My wife is really a noble person who forgets things too much. We have probably offended my nephew and daughter-in-law just because of the discussion about moving. Tell you to take the seventh room?"

The meaning of being a aunt is very clear. If you don't move out of this house, don't even think about asking Lin Daiyu to intercede.

The step-wife gritted her silver teeth, her eyes sparkling.It was Grandma Seven who "understood the righteousness" and knew the importance of the matter, so she hurriedly pulled her mother-in-law's sleeve: "Mother-in-law, it's important to save Lord Qi first."

The stepwife had no choice but to grit her teeth and nod in agreement.

Aunt Gan excitedly asked someone to invite Gan Mi and Lin Daiyu.The two have already heard about it.Gan Mi had already told Daiyu secretly not to try to stand up for his wife.

The old man obviously didn't think so: "Brother and daughter-in-law now know what's going on, let's make a long story short, let's not care whether Lao Qi did it on purpose or not, let's talk about saving him first."

Gan Mi smiled wryly and said: "We understand what grandfather means, but the one that Uncle Qi offended was not someone else, but His Royal Highness the Third Prince."

The following wife hurriedly said: "Isn't the fifth prince the younger brother of my brother and daughter-in-law? Ask him to ask for mercy, and naturally the big things will be turned into small ones."

Gan Mi said coldly: "The old lady's words are wrong. My wife's surname is Lin, and His Royal Highness's surname is Li. Has there ever been any relationship between the two? Besides, even if you ask for the fifth prince, it will be embarrassing."

The step-wife recklessly threw up: "Look, master, each one of them pushes back and forth, and you still treat our mother, son, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law like this when you are here. If you, they will force us to death!"

Lin Daiyu smiled slightly when she saw the situation: "Grandfather's meaning, granddaughter-in-law already understands that Uncle Qi is an elder, regardless of whether this matter is intentional or unintentional, but just like what grandfather said, there is no reason for the whole family to be saved? Send someone to my sister at the opposite door, and ask her for advice."

Gan Mi secretly shook his head at Lin Daiyu, the old lady Gan had already seen it, and said angrily: "Brother Mi, please don't make trouble, your wife is kind enough to help, you can't do anything wrong."

Lin Daiyu asked Zijuan to go to work, and everyone in the room waited for the news. It took about half an hour before she came back.When his wife saw Zicuckoo, she stood up and asked how she was doing.

Zijuan didn't look at her step-wife, but said to Lin Daiyu: "The eldest girl helped to inquire about this matter, and said that the seventh master was instigated by whom, and wanted to bribe the minister of the official department with silver. The minister refused to admit it, and the seventh master became angry from embarrassment. After a few sips of wine, he went to make trouble in front of the palace gate. It just so happened that the third prince had the emperor's order to go out to the palace on business. The seventh master was so drunk, he thought it was the servant's horse, and stepped forward to stop him. I fell down immediately. Fortunately, I was fine, but two bones were broken."

The crowd was in an uproar.

Aunt Gan's complexion also changed, this time it was not a joke.Almost without thinking, she decided that it was the Xing family who made the button.

However, at first she thought that the Xing family was just plotting against Mrs. Ji, and it would be fine to ask Mrs. Ji to move out. Even if they used some small tricks, it would probably be harmless.Unexpectedly, this, this Xing family would be so vicious as soon as they made a move.

The cold sweat of the great aunt suddenly flowed down.

She hurriedly got up: "Father, I just remembered, it's at my in-law's house."

The old man glared at his daughter fiercely, and said in a nasty tone, "You just sit down for me."

The aunt had no choice but to return to her original position in a sly manner.

Zijuan sneered in her heart, and then said: "The eldest girl sent someone to the Zhenfu Division. Fortunately, the Zhenfu Division knew that the seventh master was our young lady's uncle, so there was no need for a severe punishment. However, the people from the Zhenfu Division also said, This matter is not easy to end, the emperor is furious."

Zijuan's embellished words really shocked many people.

But in fact, the third prince was just a little frightened immediately, and the fall from the horse was completely fabricated.The young man next to Master Seven was not a "loyal and brave" person, so he acted out the scene just now even after luring and intimidating him.

As for the arrest of people by the Zhenfu Department, it is indeed a real thing.

When Song Chen spoke, the Zhen Fusi had long been hiding near the palace gate, just waiting for this stupid bird, Lord Seven, to throw himself into the trap!
The frightened third prince had already been overwhelmed by Song Chen and Zhengde taking him to drink, but the seventh master was in Zhenfusi, suffering from fright and fear.

The old man slapped the table with his hands hard, and glared at his stepwife: "A loving mother is a loser, see what you have made him look like? Something greedy, he has only been in Beijing for a long time, and he wants to buy an official." Gao Sheng, where did he get the money?"

The step-wife's eyes flicked left and right, and the old man was surprised: "You, did you use it?"

"Master!" The step-wife hurriedly shouted, blocking the words of the old man.

Aunt Gan and Mistress Gan immediately sensed the strangeness in the conversation between the two.

From this point of view, the seventh master should have bought the official money with the help of his step-wife, but where did his step-wife get the money?Why is the old man so angry?
Gan Mi held Lin Daiyu's hand tightly, and the two of them kept observing the old man's face.Seeing that the old man seemed guilty, he glanced over here lightly.

Although it was only for a moment, Gan Mi still felt the guilt of his grandfather.

Why does my grandfather feel sad when his stepwife spends money?
He couldn't help but think that when his father left, the family forcibly transferred their property to the public house, and Gan Mi became a down-and-out boy who depended on his grandfather's concealment to survive.
