The daughter of the splendid good fortune is respected

Chapter 407
"What you said is simple. Now that the palace is determined to kill our Xiao family, how can it help our Xiao family collect money. Third brother, don't be naive."

Xiao Mingzhen smiled and said: "Brother, this matter may not be impossible. Sister Mingyu has friendship with Princess Qinghe of the Wangfu. If she makes good use of it and promises appropriate benefits to the Wangfu, the Wangfu may not refuse to come forward. Besides, the Wangfu is not Instead of killing our Xiao family, we want to make an example of others, and use our Xiao family as an example to tell the famous families in Zhongzhou about the results of the first and second ends. Now that the palace has reached its goal, the palace will not do any unnecessary things."

Xiao Minghui flicked his sleeves, "Naive."

However, Mrs. Tan still had a glimmer of hope, and asked eagerly: "Mingzhen, is this really possible? That girl Ming Yu really has this ability?" Mrs. Tan was very suspicious.

Xiao Mingzhen nodded, "I don't know exactly how capable sister Mingyu is. But what I know is that sister Mingyu got a lot of news from Princess Qinghe. Also, sister Mingyu was kidnapped before, you know Who did it? It was the second girl of the palace, Zhou Rong. This matter is not a secret, but it has not been spread. As far as I know, Zhou Rong was ordered by the prince to beat him up and was shut down in the Buddhist hall. I don't know when it will come out."

"Really? The palace will vent its anger on that girl Mingyu?" Tan was surprised.

Xiao Minghui frowned greatly, "You mean, Ming Yu can take advantage of the power of Princess Qinghe and Princess Fan?"

Xiao Mingzhen nodded and said: "That's right. Concubine Ye loves the second girl Zhou Rong very much. If something happens, Concubine Ye will definitely ask the prince for mercy. But Zhou Rong was punished this time, and it was still such a severe punishment. The concubine has something to do with it. Without the concubine coming forward to me, the prince would not be so cruel to Zhou Rong."

Xiao Minghui nodded, "In this way, the matter makes sense. Since Ming Yu has friendship with Princess Qinghe, let Ming Yu come forward tomorrow to negotiate with the palace. The sooner the matter, the better. , Time waits for no one, the old man is waiting for this money to save his life."

"Don't worry, I'll make it clear with sister Mingyu." Xiao Mingzhen said solemnly.

Tan sighed, even if she didn't like Wufang's people, she had to rely on Wufang's strength for this meeting.The feng shui turns, will one day the fifth house will be severely pressed on the head of the first house and the fourth house.Thinking of this possibility, Tan's complexion became dark.

Early the next morning, everyone met in Mrs. Xiao's yard.

First, I went to visit Mrs. Xiao's body.Xiao Mingyu was also among them. She thought that the old lady Xiao had only half of her face paralyzed, but she didn't expect that the truth was much more serious than she thought.Not only half of his face, but also half of his body was paralyzed.Now Mrs. Xiao can't move half of her body, and needs help in daily life.How could the old lady Xiao be able to accept such a blow.

According to Nanny Wen, Mrs. Xiao had a few quarrels last night, and the beatings were considered light.Even the doctor who treated the disease, Mrs. Xiao, did not let go. She called the doctor a quack doctor in the most vicious language.

Xiao Minghui hurriedly made amends, "Dr. Li, your lord has a lot of people. My old lady suddenly became paralyzed. It was hard to accept it for a while. It's inevitable that I have a bad temper. I'm here to make amends to Doctor Li. You can't leave. If you leave, there will be no cure for my old lady's illness."

Dr. Li glared, "The old lady is most taboo to get angry. As long as she calms down and recuperates, it may not be unrelieved. It is not impossible to stand up again in the future. I have seen such cases several times. Lost temper. Obviously the old man said, don’t get angry, don’t get angry, the old lady doesn’t remember, don’t you guys know how to remind you as juniors? Now half of your body is paralyzed, you don’t know how to learn your lesson, and you keep making noise. Are you willing to give up until your whole body is paralyzed?"

"What Dr. Li said is that we are the juniors who didn't do a good job. Please forgive me, Mr. Li, and continue to treat the old lady." Xiao Minghui repeatedly bowed his hands.

Dr. Li snorted coldly, "For the sake of your sincerity, I will continue to treat the old lady. But whether the old lady's illness can be cured is not up to the old man, it depends on whether the old lady cooperates or not." .”

"Yes, yes, we must cooperate."

After convincing Dr. Li, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Minghui suggested that from now on, we should all go to the meeting hall to discuss matters, and the old lady should not bother with outside affairs.So as not to aggravate the old lady's condition.

Xiao Maoheng was the first to agree, "Okay, let's go to the meeting hall right now. It's really not appropriate to disturb the old lady."

Xiao Maoyang has no objection, but Xiao Maoyang has a lot of opinions on the matter of paying 40 taels of silver.When he arrived at the meeting hall, Xiao Maoyang said directly: "40 taels, the government is a lion. Giving this money will only make the government think that our Xiao family is easy to bully, and they will squeeze our Xiao family even worse."

Xiao Maoheng was impatient, "Fifth brother, what do you think we should do? Watching the old man die in prison, are we all unfilial sons and grandchildren?"

"There will always be a way." Xiao Maoyang insisted.

Xiao Maoheng sneered, and said disdainfully: "A solution? You want to come out one by one. Forget it, I don't agree with you. In short, our fourth room agreed to pool money to save the old man, not to mention 40, even 50. Sister-in-law , what do you mean by big room?"

Tan said: "Naturally, people need to be saved, 40 taels, let's make it together. If it is not enough, sell the property."

Xiao Maoheng nodded, "Okay, since that's the case, I'll contact Dongfu and let them estimate the price."

"Wait." Xiao Mingzhen stood up, "Dongfu, you can wait a little later. Wait until you get together the money you can get together, and then look at the difference. It will not be too late to find Dongfu at that time. And Dongfu will We are waiting for our West Mansion to go over and beg them, if they go, they will be proud of the East Mansion. So this matter must be delayed."

Xiao Maoheng frowned, seeing that everyone in Dafang had the same idea, so he said: "That's fine, let's talk about the sale of the property later, let's put together all the money we can. Fifth brother, do you have any objections?"

Xiao Maoyang snorted coldly and didn't express his opinion, but his attitude already explained everything.

Han stood up and said: "This matter will be handled according to everyone's discussion. If we need our fifth room to contribute, feel free to speak up. Our fifth room has no other skills, and we can still do errands."

"Okay, the matter is settled like this. Let's discuss and discuss how to get the money together."

The three people at the head of the house got together and took out a charter, and then everyone acted separately to raise money.

Xiao Mingzhen approached Xiao Mingyu, "Sister Mingyu, I need your help with something."
