Xu Mingwei revealed a smiling face and gently said, “I’m not an idiot. I know my limits, and if someone else doesn’t like me, I will naturally avoid those that don’t like her. When I was at home, did you ever see me on any friendly terms with my second aunt? If the situation is good, then we should all be at ease. ”
Fu Heng saw that she took out the second room’s disciple to talk about the matter, and made a plan in his heart, was that really not the case? So he laughed, “But I forgot, I didn’t worry about you for nothing. “Speaking of Second Branch Aunt, I’ve even heard from the servants that when we left the capital, their family caused quite a commotion. They even turned around and begged us to come to their parents’ side, I wonder what would happen in the future.”
Xu Mingwei asked curiously, “Why didn’t my parents tell you before we left?”
Fu Heng laughed, “If it’s not our steward’s turn, we should know what’s going on at home. If it’s something that we shouldn’t know, we should not ask, and instead look for trouble.”
Then he paused and continued, “I’m afraid Father and Mother are also ashamed of this matter and do not want to annoy us when we leave the capital.”
He obviously knew the meaning behind these words, and only hid it from himself. Xu Mingwei laughed, “Don’t keep me in suspense, tell me all the information you have gathered behind the scenes, in case I write a letter to ask my mother, and when the time comes, my family’s shame will be exposed.”
Fu Heng sneered, “Who’s family with them?! For the sake of some silver, they even ignored the teachings of their ancestors, and even looked down upon the servants of the mansion! ”
In the end, it was to break the bones and tendons, Xu Mingwei only listened and did not agree with her, in case she thought about it carefully, she herself would not get a seat, and only urged, “Quickly say it, don’t say anything.”
Fu Heng lowered his voice and asked, “Didn’t father say that since you are from the branch family, you have to go live in the second house? Second Aunt was deceived by her relatives and spent a lot of money to teach her how to live in a run-down house. If it was someone else with Aunt’s personality, they would naturally not let it go. However, because they were relatives of her mother, they were able to endure it. I didn’t expect that within three to five days after the house was tidied up, another owner would come knocking on the door and say that the house belongs to his family and has never been sold. ”
“The steward of the second house was also arrogant. He didn’t even report back to his master and just spoke a few words to that person. He was so conflicted that he beat up the steward of the house with a few servants and only threw him out after breaking his leg. Second Aunt and his uncle did not know about this matter, only during the second half of the day did officials come to escort them. The uncle and aunt duo considered themselves to be the servants of the emperor’s family, so they did not take this seriously, which angered the family of the true owner even more. Originally, they only wanted to cheat the house and hurt the person in charge. If it was in the past, the government would still give our family some face. However, since the Second Branch was from a branch family and had no reputation, Shuntian City had captured our uncle and locked him up in the prison. It was only then that the Second Aunt panicked, and spent a lot of money to settle the issues. The matter was still unsettled, and the parents still came to cause trouble, saying that the land deeds sold to them were genuine, and only took the Second Aunt officials as witnesses. Not to mention the names of the relatives, in order to not implicate any innocent people. ”
Xu Mingwei laughed and sighed, “In terms of this shameless person in the world, she is also the only one.”
Fu Heng laughed, “That’s right. It can only be said that there will always be evil people suffering in this world, the Second Aunt is extremely strong, if I were to meet her family, I would be helpless, right? ”
Xu Mingwei said, “One of them is my mother, the other is my husband, and I am afraid that after this incident, I will definitely be injured. As if a man has two arms, one of his own is broken, it’s painful, it’s painful! ”
In his heart, he thought to himself, to be able to set up such a trap and teach the second wife to swallow her pain while holding back tears, the person behind must not be underestimated. Her mother-in-law, Lady Wang, was scheming in such a way, but it was unlikely for it to be so forceful. No matter what his wife did, she always took it for granted. Not only was she selfish, but she also had a bitter face and sweet heart. Even if he treated her well for a thousand days, it wouldn’t be enough to serve her for a while. If there had been a quarrel between the sister-in-law, she would not have been able to find her way back, and would have taken the opportunity to poke him in the foot before she stopped. This was the typical type of person who came and went quickly, so it wasn’t Wang’s doing that kept her calm and hooked him up step by step.
Who could it be? The first person Xu Mingwei thought of was Fu Hongbo, and then she thought of Fu Heng. Regarding the matter of the branch family, what did Fu Hongbo, the master of the family, actually think of it? As Xu Mingwei wanted to avoid suspicion, she did not even say a few words to her father-in-law. Fu Heng did have his schemes and methods, adding on to the fact that the Duke of Qin’s forces were standing behind him, it would be easy for him to take care of one person. But according to Xu Mingwei’s understanding of him, he would not hate Er Fang to the point that she wanted to fall into the other party’s injustice …
After analyzing it this way, her eyes suddenly flashed across Fu Ninghui’s indifferent face which looked like a distant mountain, and she suddenly felt enlightened — those who didn’t want to be separated from their sect by their name from the genealogy book, and those who could inherit the sect away for something as white as yellow and as their own. Perhaps the reason why the world treated her with such ‘injustice’ was because she secretly made a move. Or perhaps she was just venting her anger for her parents by punishing the Second Branch with a small punishment?
Xu Mingwei had never really been able to understand Fu Ninghui, and at this moment, even more so, could not understand him.
When they returned to the tavern, Bi Tao and the others had already returned from the outside. When they saw Xu Mingwei, they pointed out to him all kinds of new stuff that they had bought, which they would occasionally take a look at, then hold onto the quintet made from fir wood, then dance with the Dragonfly kite that had a thin cotton paper paste on it. Wan Rong just couldn’t help but laugh out loud and say, “The stuff that’s sold outside is just for show. It was only then that his grandmother came back from the outside and hurriedly helped him change her clothes. Hearing from the Dahran’s wife that Xin Jieer had went to look for Grandma in the afternoon when she woke up, only after much difficulty did she manage to calm the ruckus. She wouldn’t be able to see Grandma even after dinner later, but no one can.
Only then did Peaches stop her excitement. She stuck out her tongue and said, “Big sister was right. Your servant will go and get some clothes now.”
After drinking the hot water, the two of them helped to change Xu Mingwei’s clothes and combed her hair. However, they did not see Fu Heng coming back, and just as they were about to ask him, Dong Zi came to their door and said, “Go and greet Grandma. Master called me ‘little one’. I have matters ahead of me, so I won’t be coming. I also ask Grandmother to have dinner first, please don’t ask for the same thing. ”
Xu Mingwei nodded and said, “Got it. Don’t be in such a hurry, I still have something to ask you. ”
Dong Zi bowed to her respectfully, then said, “Grandmother, if there’s anything you want to ask, this little one will naturally ask.”
Xu Mingwei asked, “Today, you followed your Grand Master to the county magistrate court. “How about the rooms in the yamen? Can all of us live here?”
Dong Zi smiled on the surface, and said in detail, “Reporting to Grandma, this little one followed along to the yamen today, and saw two old gentlemen, one of them was the account office, the other was the main book. But from the looks of things, this little one also stayed in the yamen for several years. Other than these two, there were six other constables in the yamen. Since there was no county magistrate in charge, they did not come to the yamen often. They only came to call on the yamen when there were cases to be reported, so they did not see them. The master’s book really thought that our master wasn’t well, and couldn’t move him at the moment. He only said that he would teach our master to rest and then move into the county magistrate, and ask if our family members had not had enough hands, and that we needed someone to help us clean the back rooms. ”
“Master naturally said there was no need. He took the key to the dungeon, and secretly locked Hou Zhanshan up in the prison, leaving us alone to guard, waiting for Master to personally question us. After he finished, the little one followed the Grand Master to look at the back of the house. It was a four-way courtyard, but the garden was very simple and crude, not even the exterior of our house could be seen. The little one looked around and even brought a vegetable garden to the back of the yard. After asking, she found out that it was the wife who had been guarding the house. “I’ve already said that I’ll teach that old woman how to take care of the garden. I’ll get a few good gardeners later. I’ll grow whatever grandma likes.”
Wan Rong raised her eyebrows slightly at the side, thinking that this Dong Zi was truly good at flattering. Although there was flattery in her words, but she spoke in a relaxed and flat manner, not revealing her vulgarity, which truly made people happy, and made them unable to refrain from smiling.
Dong Zi turned his head, seeing the smile, he immediately felt as if his soul was going to fly away. In the end, he still remembered that Wan Rong was the first person in front of Master, so she did not dare to be careless.
Xu Mingwei was glad that he was smart, she asked all she wanted to know so she nodded and said, “Go back and ask your master, when did you move all the boxes? If not, tell him, so that he can find out. If you guys are ready to clean up, come to my place and let me know that Wan Rong and the others have gone with you. They have known about houses since they were young. ”
When Dong Zi suddenly heard her mention Wan Rong, he thought that he had seen through his thoughts. His heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously raised his head to look at Xu Mingwei. However, seeing that there was no change in her expression, he heaved a sigh of relief and respectfully replied, “Grandmother’s words, I will remember them. I will bring them up later.” If grandma has nothing else, then this little one will just move forward? ”
Xu Mingwei waved his hand with a smile, “I don’t need you here, I’ll go myself.”
