The daughter of the splendid good fortune is respected

Chapter 496 Contradictions erupt (1)
Xiao Mingyu threw the list away, and said with a smile: "Fourth aunt, what's so angry, learn from the lesson, and even if the Xiao family can't get rid of it, don't go to those people. Don't let everyone be ashamed and arrogant, and step on you and me .”

Liao's anger turned into joy, "Ming Yu is right. In the past years, the people of the tribe had a hard time, and our West Mansion has to give money every year to help the weak and help them tide over the difficulties. This year our West Mansion has encountered difficulties. Those black-hearted and rotten people People, no one came to ask. I was also deceived by lard, thinking that their life is difficult and their nature is simple. Let them support a place, anyway, it can be regarded as a thriving population. Marrying a daughter is just to be lively Yes. But who would have thought that these reincarnated things of starving ghosts would have such an idea. Hmph, if you want to eat up our Xifu, go ahead and dream."

"Ma'am, it's not good. Manager Liu counted the decorations in the living room, and several items are missing." A girl ran in in a panic.

Mrs. Liao slapped the table directly, "It's really the opposite. It's unreasonable to steal things to our Xiao family."

Xiao Mingyu followed Liao to the flower hall to check the situation, accountant Liu Guanshi took out the item booklet for comparison, "Fourth Madam, please look, there are three items missing in this flower hall, Si Yang is missing in the flower hall next door, and there are also fewer flower halls in the outer courtyard." Seven or eight. But because the thieves didn't know the goods, they didn't take any valuables, and the stolen things were all glamorous things that weren't worth a lot of money."

Liao gritted her teeth, "These dilapidated households are really short-sighted."

Liu Guanshi asked: "Fourth wife, although these things are not worth much, they are not enough to add up, and there is almost one or two thousand taels. Fourth wife, look, do you want to send someone to recover all the things?"

"Of course we have to chase them back, otherwise, wouldn't it be cheaper for those people. Liu Guanshi, I'll give you twenty people, and you go and chase them back, can you do it?" Liao asked.

Guanshi Liu frowned, feeling very embarrassed, "Fourth Wife, if this old slave comes forward, I'm afraid this matter will not be done. The old slave thinks that two clan elders should be invited to come forward, so that those people can obediently send the things back. Otherwise we Once someone enters the village, they are afraid that they will be beaten out."

"They dare, our West Mansion is the descendant of the Xiao family's descendant, will those shabby households dare to rebel?" Liao was furious.

Liu Guanshi said: "Fourth wife, things are not that simple. Although our Xifu is from the same line, we also enshrine the ancestors of the Xiao family. But those people live together all year round. Although there are many conflicts, they can still hug each other at critical moments. When we go to search, we will not search every family, but will touch the interests of everyone in the village. If those people join forces to make a fuss, even if our West Mansion is righteous, we will have to make concessions in order to appease people's hearts. , and even make some compensation.”

Xiao Mingyu nodded and agreed, "Guan Liu's words are correct. Fourth Aunt, let's wait until tomorrow, report to the old man first, and then ask the clan elders to come forward. The clan elders will persuade those people, I don't think those people dare not listen. "

"Miss Seven is right."

Liao Shi was very unwilling, but he could only accept it.Those shabby households look inconspicuous, but it doesn't mean that you can call them if you call them, and you can search them if you just search them.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Liao reported this mess to Mr. Xiao and asked Mr. Xiao to make a decision.Mr. Xiao stroked his beard with an unclear expression.In the end, he said, "First invite a few clan elders to go to the house, and let me say that the old man invites them to drink."

With Mr. Xiao coming forward, the Liao family no longer need to worry about this matter.After a day or two, those who stole the items secretly returned the items to the clan elders, and then the clan elders handed them over to the Xiao family.Mr. Xiao set up another banquet and invited the clan elders to drink and eat together.When the elders of the clan were leaving, they all gave another gift.The clan elders left contentedly, and the matter was considered a satisfactory solution.

Mr. Xiao asked someone to send a message to Liao Shi, telling her to be more careful in her work in the future, and don't just talk about searching home.

The Liao family was taught, and they really couldn't deal with those clansmen in the usual way.Since then, Liao's housekeeper has become a little more spiritual.

New Year's Eve.

This year's New Year's Eve can be said to be the most deserted and weirdest New Year's Eve dinner since the Xiao family established the mansion.

The whole family is divided into male and female seats. Lu Si, who just gave birth not long ago, stood behind Tan with his son in his arms. His eyes were indifferent, painful, sad, and struggling, looking at the kneeling Xiao Minghun on the ground, and Song Ziqiu beside Xiao Minghun.

The current situation starts with the birth of Lu Si's son.Back then, Mr. Xiao made it very clear that as long as Lu Si gave birth to a son-in-law, he would let Song Ziqiu out and let the two of them be together in a serious manner.Xiao Minghui was the happiest when Lu Si gave birth to his son as he wished, not only because he had a son, but also because Song Ziqiu was able to come out.

Xiao Minghui has been planning to let Song Ziqiu come out, but Mr. Xiao seems to have forgotten about it, Xiao Minghui has not been able to do so.Until today, on New Year's Eve, Xiao Minghui put all his eggs in one basket, forcibly opened the door of Song Ziqiu's room, and brought Song Ziqiu in front of the whole family.He was going to force Mr. Xiao to fulfill his promise back then.

Mr. Xiao put down his wine glass and looked indifferently at the two kneeling on the ground, "Minghui, I will give you a chance. This woman will be sent wherever she comes from. I will pretend that this has never happened. Everyone is still happy If you want to eat New Year's Eve dinner, you can do whatever you want, how about it?"

Xiao Minghui obviously did not agree. In order to prevent him from saying something that would anger Mr. Xiao, Mrs. Tan hurriedly said: "Minghui, don't be confused. Come and send Miss Song back."

Song Ziqiu lowered his head, unmoved.Xiao Minghui stood in front of Song Ziqiu firmly, "Mother, you can't do this."

"Why not. Minghui, why are you so confused. What day is it today, how can you be fooled around? Why don't you hurry up and let someone take Miss Song down. No matter what you want to do, you have to wait for this year Let's talk again." Tan shi begged and threatened again, only hoping that Xiao Minghui would not be confused.Looking for trouble on New Year's Eve is basically looking for death.

Xiao Minghui shook his head frequently, "Old man, what you said at the beginning, as long as our grandson marries a wife and has children, and our Xiao family has an heir, we will let Ziqiu come out. But the child is almost a hundred days old, why has the old man refused to let him go?" Let Ziqiu out. Today, my grandson has the guts to bring him here, just begging the old man to rectify his name and give Ziqiu a title."

"Brother, stop talking. Didn't you see that the old man is angry? Everyone is waiting for the New Year's Eve dinner. You are causing trouble at this time. Are you deliberately not wanting everyone to have a good year?" Xiao Mingzhen stood up and repeatedly Give Xiao Minghui a wink.The old man is accumulating anger, but don't be confused anymore.

Xiao Minghui didn't feel Xiao Mingzhen's kindness at all, but thought that Xiao Mingzhen had bad intentions and was watching his jokes.So he said sharply: "I don't need to worry about my affairs. The third brother has this kind of thought, so please help me persuade my mother. The matter about Ziqiu was agreed before I got married, and I can't go back on my word."
