The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 267 The Wicked Still Need the Wicked
Gan Mi has always had doubts about his father's death. The Gan family is a prominent family in Jining. All members of the family, men, women, and children, are all educated. Only Gan Mi's father is different. He has been martial arts since he was born.When he was 15 years old, he secretly joined the army without telling his family.

The old man was so angry that he was half dead, but he couldn't get back his son's crooked mind.What surprised the family even more was that Gan Mi's father not only joined the army, but also flourished in the camp. Within a few years, he became a garrison in South Henan Province.

The Southern Henan Province is close to Miaojiang. Although the Supreme Emperor is benevolent, the governor of Guangxi is really greedy.In just three or four years, the people of Miaojiang suffered unspeakably, and finally Miaojiang was in chaos.

The governor of Guangxi knew that something was wrong, so he hurriedly asked the emperor to dispatch manpower to suppress it. The emperor listened to one side's words, and instead of alleviating the conflict with Miao Jiang, he ordered the troops from Guangdong and Guangxi to quickly destroy it.

Gan Mi's father was killed by an arrow in that battle.

As soon as the father left, the world of the second bedroom of the Gan family collapsed.

When Gan Mi was young, he still vaguely remembered that when his father was there, the life at home was almost the best among all the houses.Although my father is on errands in other places, he is very considerate of his family. My mother has to change a new set of jewelry every once in a while, which makes the aunts and aunts envious.

When my mother left, my uncle helped keep my mother's dowry, but I never saw those beautiful jewelry again.

Aunt Gan looked at her father suspiciously: "Father, is there anything important about this money?"

The stepwife's expression was very complicated, almost a forced smile: "Look at what my aunt said, what can I pay attention to about my money?"

Aunt Qian is disdainful in her heart, don't you know what kind of family background your step-wife has?Relying on the help from the magistrate's wife in Jining, she managed to scrape together a dowry and entered the house. Her money, I'm afraid her money would not be enough to buy a pair of heads. Isn't that all subsidized by my father?
Thinking of this, the aunt Gan looked at her father complaining.

When my mother was alive, I didn't know how much I was worried about this family, and I didn't see my father giving more to my mother. On the contrary, when the little daughter-in-law came in, the father seemed to ignore him, and blindly handed over his private house to his step-mother. lady.

The old man was embarrassed by his daughter's stare, and he was in front of these juniors again.The old man coughed lightly, and said: "I remember that the eldest lady in the mansion opposite is the Qianhu promised to the Zhenfu Department? Since Lao Qi is in the Zhenfu Department, let's let him suffer less. Let's talk about the third prince's place at this level. In case the third prince has not been released, Lao Qi will be tortured by Zhen Fusi first."

Although the step-wife and the seventh grandma lived in Jining for a long time, they had also heard of the "notoriety" of Zhen Fusi, and nodded in agreement.

So the old man ordered his eldest aunt and Lin Daiyu to lead his stepwife and seventh grandmother to Xingfu. Only the eldest and youngest grandmother were left at home to help the director, and for the time being, no one should let anyone leak the news.

In addition, step-wife reluctantly took a set of Zhao Wu's "Journey to Jiangxue" as a door-to-door gift, and stepped into the Xing family's gate under the mocking eyes of Aunt Gan.

From the main entrance to the backyard, people passed through countless arches of hanging flower doors, walked through countless corridors, and saw a large garden surrounded by a whitewashed wall. Standing in place, they could see the exquisite verandas, and many young wives and maids came in and out. The clothes are not bad.

When these maids and women saw Lin Daiyu, they hurried forward to say hello, their tone was not only polite but also respectful.

Seeing it in her eyes, the step-wife curled her lips in displeasure.Seventh Grandma was afraid that her mother-in-law would not be able to control her mouth and offend Mrs. Lin by saying something again, so she hurriedly pulled her step-wife's forearm in private.The step-wife wanted to get angry, but when she saw the pleading eyes of her daughter-in-law, her heart softened again, so she let out a short sigh and followed Lin.

Daiyu made everyone laugh with one hand, "This is the courtyard where my sister lives."

Xing Xiuyan is originally a person who likes to enjoy, so how to be comfortable.Over the past two years after moving into the capital, the courtyard has basically changed its appearance. A pond was dug at the back to draw in the running water from Fuzhong Lake, and the pond is full of green lotuses in summer.A small two-story building was newly built on the west side, with a black board with red gold characters "Qinglian Xianguan" hanging on it, but it is a study.

Looking out of the window, you can see the panoramic view of the small courtyard.

The three rooms in the main room are Xing Xiuyan's boudoir, the flower hall in the middle is for guests, the room on the left is the bedroom, and the room on the right is the side room, both spacious and transparent.

The step-wife couldn't control her eyes, she was surprised every time she saw something, and she had more consideration for Xing Xiuyan who had met once.

Besides, Xiuyan had been waiting for someone to come, but she deliberately didn't go to greet her, because she was arrogant for the idea of ​​killing her step-wife.

Bai Fu was standing at the entrance of the flower hall, and when she saw Lin Daiyu coming in, she hurried over and waved her hands to signal them to be quiet: "Auntie sit down first, our girl is getting angry inside!"

Daiyu hurriedly asked, "Why are you so angry?"

Bai Fu looked at his step-wife with a half-smile: "Song Qianhu just sent someone to talk about the matter of the Seventh Master of the family, and he only said that it was a last resort for him to arrest someone, please don't blame us girl. But how can we girls feel at ease! Even if a catastrophe occurs, Song Qianhu should still worry about your face, grandma."

Lin Daiyu snickered in her heart, but the corners of her eyes turned red, and she wiped it lightly with a handkerchief: "Big sister shouldn't have upset Song Qianhu because of me. I can't bear it!"

The step-wife quickly glared at Lin Daiyu, smiled and said to Bai Fu: "Then what happened in the end? How can Song Qianhu understand this matter?"

Bai Fu looked at Mrs. Step with a sneer: "Our girl directly kicked out Song Qianhu's people. I wonder if Mrs. Step is satisfied?"

"You girl!" The stepwife looked at him angrily.

At this moment, Mi Ying came out, seeing Lin Daiyu and others were there, she forced a smile and said: "Miss heard everyone's voice, please come in!"

Xiuyan himself was sitting on the big kang in the side room. On the kang was a pillow with lark pattern and gold thread. On the small red sandalwood kang table were several fresh fruits, and the bright red pomegranate in the middle was very eye-catching.There are four big chairs along the bottom of the kang, and there are a few small bamboo chairs not far away.

"When did the old lady come, and the younger generation didn't go out to greet her, please don't blame the old lady."

Mrs. Ji still didn't forget the important thing about her coming, so she quickly put on a smile, and pressed the Xiuyan that was about to get off the kang: "Sit and sit, we are not outsiders, why should we be so polite."

The step-wife looked at Lin Daiyu and said with a smile on her face: "Mr. Lin is a good child. I like her very much. I only regard her as my own granddaughter. You and Mrs. Lin are called sisters, so naturally you are also my granddaughter."

Meilian Zijuan and other maidservants listened, and almost didn't spit out sour water.

This step-wife, when it comes to unconscionable words, she really doesn't need to type a draft, she just opens her mouth!
Xiuyan first looked at Lin Daiyu, and then sighed softly to her stepwife: "Although Madam treated me kindly, I was not able to help Madam. It is really the Seventh Master who caused a lot of trouble. The Ministry of Punishment will also intervene!"

Mrs. Ji smiled stiffly and said, "Well, this is probably hearsay. Since it's a big disaster, why don't people come to us? Miss Xing, don't scare us timid ones."

Xiuyan looked at her step-wife suspiciously: "Why didn't you go look for it? I heard from the people in the Zhenfu Department that people from the Dazong Main Court have gone to your house now. Don't tell me Madam doesn't know?"

The Dazong Zhengyuan is the clan mansion. It only cares about the big and small matters of the royal family, from the emperor's draft, to the prince's naming, from the prince's death, to the heir's succession to the nobility. Writing a stroke on the book, or drawing a stroke on the red book, are both symbols of the royal family.

The fact that the Seventh Lord's matter was involved in the Dazong Main Court to investigate, it shows that the royal family was really angry.

The step-wife's face changed drastically: "I, why don't we have any news?"

Seventh Grandma also had a bad complexion, and hurriedly said: "Madam, could it be that you went to the old house over there?"

The step-wife is not a fool, she was confused at first, and it can be seen that Xing Xiuyan was drinking tea slowly, so she said to everyone in a deep voice: "You go down first, I have a few private words to say to Miss Xing."

Xiuyan nodded slightly at Daiyu, Meilian and the others, the aunt and grandmother wanted to run away, so naturally she couldn't be happier to talk to Lu Shi.

At that time, there was only Xing Xiuyan and his step-wife left in the house.

"Miss Xing, we Ming people don't do secret things. I don't need to ask how the seventh prince offended the seventh prince. The Xing family's operation is indispensable here. Otherwise, it would be such a coincidence that the person who arrested my son was the Zhen Fusi people!"

Xiuyan gently put down her cup, and smiled: "Don't mention this capital city, it is the whole world. As long as there is the emperor's will, the Zhen Fusi will dare to arrest people. Why does Madam say that it seems that our family is deliberately embarrassing the seventh master?" Yes. We are in-laws, we have no grudges in the past, and we have no grudges in the present, so why should I embarrass Lord Seven?"

The step-wife sneered: "Isn't it because of the house? Forget it, we will move out of the mansion tomorrow, no, in the evening, and the girl can call seven or eight to watch us. If she takes Lin's dowry, she will call her directly." Song Qianhu from the Zhenfu Division also took us into company with Lao Qi!"

After speaking, he cried aggrievedly, looking so sad.

"It's easy for Madam to know the current affairs like this. As long as you are willing to move, I will ask Master Qi to go home safe and sound tomorrow."

The stepwife almost fell backward in anger.

This, this despicable little whore, clearly made a trick for them to have sex with each other.About the third prince and others, they were all deceived to fool them.

The stepwife opened her mouth and wanted to repent.

However, Xiuyan said indifferently: "Madam, you should think about your own words and deeds. If you say this, you will have no chance to go back on your word. The third prince is now frightened and has nowhere to vent his anger. If the fifth prince didn't persuade him in every possible way, you think That His Highness will let it go?"

The stepwife suddenly became wilted again.

"Good lady, this is not your property, and it's useless to force it. The seventh master will still rely on these relatives in the capital from now on." Xiuyan said with a smile, but every sentence seemed threatening: "The seventh master has bumped into you today. The third prince, tomorrow will most likely dare to challenge the eldest prince, and the latter may even dare to stop the empress' Luanjia!"

The step-wife's face changed drastically, and she faintly felt that if she didn't accept it, maybe Xing Xiuyan would dare to call it a spiritual answer in every case!
