Chapter 338: Broken Up With Xiao Shubu?
se red string is that” She muttered to herself, “It shouldn’t be! Our family is also in mourning. Everyone has been wearing plain clothes for over a month. It’s impossible for someone to do such a thi...Tang felt like she had boarded a pirate ship and couldn't get off. Because Ye Wen said to her that since she was involved in this matter, there was no reason to back out halfway >>> 。Otherwise, she wouldn't be at ease, and neither would the old madam. 。I asked her, in this situation where she couldn't trust either side, would Aunt Grandmother be able to return to Xiushan County safely
She said no, she wouldn't be able to return safely. And even if she did, she wouldn't be able to sleep soundly. 。Mrs. Tang could only agree to Ye Wenyan's request and planned to visit the old lady every day and get information from her. 。Fortunately, Ye Wuyan also agreed to her. As long as she did a good job, he would take care of her safety. 。At Fu Lu Courtyard, Granny Ji started giving the old mistress her medicine again. 。But just like what Ye Wen said, even if you don't take medicine for illnesses, they can heal on their own with some rest and care. It's just a matter of time. 。So the old madam will be fine sooner or later, just like the younger Jun Tao, who was able to walk around this evening and even came to her room to pay her respects. 。It’s a pity, rest in peace. With Granny and Ye Qingmei who came to attend to him, Jun Tao couldn't get closer. 。Not only was Jun Tao unable to get close, but even Xiao, who came over to visit, was also unable to get close. 。Xiao was not surprised, this was not the first time she had been stopped. Fortunately, she could still see Old Madam from afar and hear what Old Madam said, which gave her some peace of mind. 。At least the old woman is still alive. This means that Wen Yan's evidence in his hand is not enough tonight, and he doesn't want to kill her. 。Even so, Xiao's heart was pounding with anxiety because she knew Ye Wenyan would gather the evidence sooner or later and solve everything that needed to be solved. 。One solved, the next one comes up, and soon it was her turn. 。On the way back to Huayuan, Jinxiu said, "The old lady thought she did a good job keeping things secret, but in reality, she only fooled the first wife's family. We know what really happened here." 。"To be able to pull this off in the old mistress's courtyard, with such elaborate precautions, she must have guts! What kind of audacity is this" Xiao Shi replied, "It has to be a deep grudge! Decades of marriage ending like this, the old mistress must have had a reason that compelled her to act. I believe, if my guess is right, Ye Wenyan was waiting for this very reason." 。" Mrs. Jinxiu frowned, "Do you think Lady Juntao knows the truth" Mrs. Xiao pondered for a moment before shaking her head, "She should know that the old lady committed the murder, but she doesn't know why the old lady did it." 。"Grandma really knows how to keep a secret, doesn't she" "Well, that depends on what it is." 。 。And I always feel that this matter is related to the old master. 。"The mistress means, the deceased old master" "Mmm..." 。"Xiao nodded, "The two things must be related. Otherwise, the old lady wouldn't remain indifferent knowing we made a move against the elders." 。In this general's mansion, I have my informants, and she has hers. Each of us is watching the other, so nothing can be hidden for long. 。What on earth could have driven her to watch one son kill another with her own eyes What could possibly lead her to want to kill both her elder son and her husbandXiao Shi was utterly perplexed. This whole situation defied logic. 。But Jinxiu gave her a thought: "Actually, it's possible that Old Madam didn't hide anything from the sea. What if that incident happened before Madam entered the household Then you definitely wouldn't know about it!" Xiao shi suddenly realized, this explanation made sense. 。At dusk, the night view was splendid. Xie Chun went to Xichun's place as usual. 。Now, looking back, he was thankful that he had taken Xi Chun as a concubine back then. Otherwise, life in this household would have been truly unbearable. 。He had even forgotten how Xi Chun had threatened him into his room at first. Now, he only cared that in this house, only Xi Chun spoke to him softly and tenderly, and only Xi Chun thought of him wholeheartedly. 。Although Liu shi was also gentle in the past, that's all changed now. The current Liu shi has turned just like her own daughter, showing favoritism towards the eldest branch and turning her arm against her own family. 。He really wanted to kick the mother and daughter out of the courtyard, but unfortunately, now that he had only one child under his knee, he couldn't bear to do it. 。Xi Chun's maidservant, Ping Shuang, brought in a bowl of congee. Xi Chun went outside to take the bowl and waved Ping Shuang away. 。She always remembered how the Liu family had gotten into the house back then. Even a maid who combed hair could catch the master's favor. Plus, she herself was also from a maid background. It seemed that her own master still had a connection with women of this status. 。So she had to be constantly on guard, absolutely making sure that the maids around her didn't find a way to steal away the love and attention she received. 。When Xi Chun brought in the ginseng soup, Ye Xing Sheng drank it happily. After finishing, he frowned: "This soup is a bit bland today, all I taste is chicken. Did you even put any ginseng in"Xi Chun: "Of course we put some in, it's just a matter of how much..." 。The Second Madam's account for household expenses is short of silver. All expenditures within the manor will have to be reduced. 。Not only has the congee lost its ginseng, but even our meals now have half the vegetables. 。" The night view listened and frowned: "In the past, the elder sister managed the house for more than ten years, I never heard of running out of silver from the accounts, let alone hearing about wanting to find it from people's mouths. " 。"How did Xiao Shubi come to this She's only been in charge of this household for how many years, and she's already caused such a commotion" Xi Chun sighed after hearing this. "It's not entirely the Second Madam's fault. In fact, even before her time, there was always a shortage of money. Firstly, the Old Madam constantly sent aid to the Jiang family, and secondly, both the Old General and the Young General were honest officials and never took any unjust wealth" 。If one only relies on their salary and the income from shops and land, how could they possibly afford such expenses 。The reason why things used to be so spacious was because the mistress was always putting things into it. 。Not only did she paste down the silver from her own shop, but also her dowry. 。" Ye Xing listened to this and was unhappy, "Now, even you are speaking for the first wife" Xi Chun quickly explained, “Master misunderstands me. I'm not speaking for the first wife. What I mean is, back then, all the doctors were willing to take losses for the greater good, why does Second Madam refuse to do so now The Xiao family's wealth is even greater than the Mu family! And over the years, the Mu family hasn't made much of an appearance, while the Xiao family frequently interacts with the General's Mansion. I presume Old Madam Xiao has also secretly been helping Second Madam." 。Oh well, I guess it's fine since there's no point in arguing. After all, we shouldn't let the first wife share our good fortune either. 。The portion of congee for the old master should be sufficient at least, but I didn't expect it to be like this... Second Madam is truly a little infuriating. 。The night scene became more and more lively, Xiao Shuwai was getting more and more displeased. Didn't he already have a falling out with the old lady Now was he going to have a falling out with him too He stood up abruptly, intending to go find Xiao Shuwai to make amends, when at that moment, Ping Shuang's voice, the maid, came from outside: "Reporting to Second Master, Madam Chun, Sister Jinxiu, beside the second mistress, is here. She asks Master to immediately go to Huayu Courtyard for important matters." 。" Xi Chun's face was full of displeasure. "There's no such thing as a mistress who acts like this! Even though the master has gone into his concubine's room, she still wants to invite people over and compete for favor. She doesn't even care if outsiders hear and laugh at her." 。“ Don't be angry. I’ll be back soon, and I need to ask her for a favor. Let's see if she can still stay in this house.” 。If you can't do the job, get out of the way and let someone else who can. 。After speaking, he strode away. 。Xi Chun was left alone in the room, pondering the earlier remark. She couldn't simply stay put; it would be better to leave early. To whom should she make way Now that her master was here, besides Madam Er, there was only her and Liu Shi. However, lately, Liu Shi and her daughter had clearly sided with Ye Wenyan. They would definitely be excluded. 。Then there was only her… Xi Chun felt a surge of excitement. Could it be that she was about to take charge Was she going to become the de facto mistress of the General’s mansion, wielding real power The same question was also in Ye Jing Sheng's mind, but the person he had in mind would definitely not be Xi Chun, nor anyone from the General’s mansion. 。
The person he had in mind from the beginning to the end for the mistress of the house was only Chang Xueqiao.
He never dared to defy the Xiao family before because he felt like the second son, with no chance of rising above. His entire family relied on the Xiao family for support and face. 。Besides painstakingly cultivating Yè Hóngzhuāng, Shào's meticulously painted a grand picture of Yè Hóngzhuāng becoming empress in the future. This made him too afraid to bring back Cháng Xuějiāo and her daughter, fearing that he would displease Shào and ruin everything. 。But now Ye Hongzhuang's dream is shattered, he is already the head of the Ye family, Xiao Sh beyaz and the Xiao family have no use for him. 。He even felt that Xiao Shu Bai was a drag and a bad luck charm. 。How else could Xiao Shubi's two children both be so bad Just for this reason, he could ask the Xiao family to divorce her. 。Yes, it's divorce! Only by divorcing Xiao Shubi can his Xueqiao come home and truly live by his side. 。Then he would hand over this entire home to Xueqiao, and the couple would work together to cultivate Wushuang well. 。With such an exceptional appearance, he is sure to have a bright future. His future depends on his uniqueness. 。The more she thought about the night view, the more excited she became. Her steps quickened as if she was eager to see the Second Madam. 。Finally, they arrived at Huayu Courtyard. Xiao ordered Jinxiu to step down, leaving only her and Ye Jingsheng inside the room. 。"Night View Sheng was getting impatient: 'You called me down here for what Xiao Shu Bai, you're the mistress, things like this, where a concubine is vying for favor, isn't something you should be handling.'" 。What's sent out will depreciate in value and become a laughingstock. 。"Xiao listened, her brows furrowed. "I'm not vying for favor, you can go wherever you want, I don't care." 。It's just that I went to Fulu Courtyard these past two days to pay my respects and saw some things, so I wanted to tell you about them. 。"
The night view sat down, “I also went to see my mother's place once. She was being treated by a doctor and it wasn't a serious matter. She just needed to lie in bed for a few days and take her medicine properly.” >>> 。"What did you see" Xiao Shi also sat down, right across from him, and told him seriously, "I saw Fourth Miss ordering someone to pour all the boiled medicine under a big tree. She poured it openly and didn't try to hide it at all." 。"
What Ye Wanxin was startled, and a bad premonition crept into her heart...e and board the carriage. At this time, Xiao grabbed Ye Feiyu's hand and said to him, "Feiyu, the paper money hasn't been completely burned yet, there is still one lamp left, it needs to be dark befor...
