The Whole Family Is Insanely Eavesdropping on My Thoughts

Chapter 27: Selling iron to pay back dowry



"Bring a stool." She glanced at Jue Xia, who immediately agreed with a smile.

After a while, a small table and small chairs were set up in front of the old lady's door. Mrs. Xu lay on it, climbing on a branch and fanning.

Mrs. Xu's leisurely look stung Nanny Lin, and also stung the people in the house.

Within half an hour, the old lady slowly woke up.

When Mrs. Xu came in, the old lady didn't look tired at all, but there was a bit of anger in her brows.

"Did you have a conflict with someone outside today?" The old lady's brows were full of displeasure.

"You are the daughter-in-law of my Hou family, and you represent the face of the Hou family..."

"I heard that you sent Lu Jinghuai's mother to prison?" The old lady was breathing heavily.

Now, Lu Jinghuai is her eldest grandson and her darling.

Xu's children were useless, so she valued Lu Jinghuai more and more.

Mrs. Xu stood up straight, with a slight smile on her brows.

"Mom knows the news so quickly." She covered her mouth and chuckled.

"It's just a trivial matter. Who sent the news to disturb my mother's Qingxiu?"

Nanny Lin looked unhappy.

The room was a little stuffy. The old lady liked peace and quiet but was afraid of the cold. She didn't want to use an ice basin today.

"Then Lu Jinghuai, known as the genius boy who is most likely to win three yuan in a row. If you put his mother in prison, wouldn't you ruin a child's reputation? You are also a mother, how can you be so vicious?" The old lady just thought about it. , they all felt very hateful.

Xu frowned slightly.

"My mother is so unreasonable. His mother is wearing my dowry on her head. She is a thief! What's wrong with a thief who steals and goes to jail?"

"Besides, who knows if the food he uses is stolen?"

As soon as these words came out, the old lady was so angry that she was shaking all over, her eyes were red, and she almost couldn't breathe.

"My daughter-in-law has asked Dengzhi to find out the dowry list and send it to the county government. I heard that a lot of things have been lost."

The old lady's expression changed drastically.

Her dowry back then was priceless.

As a sign of sincerity when entering the house, Mrs. Xu divided the dowry keys into three. The Marquis Lu Yuanze has one, the old lady has one, and the Xu family has one.

Mrs. Xu was so generous that the old lady took a lot of things privately and gave them to Pei Jiaojiao.

"Nonsense, this kind of matter can be settled privately, why bother not to spare others? That child is like a dragon or a phoenix among men, why bother to offend others?" The old lady gritted her teeth, how could she let her good grandson bear such a reputation.

The future is ruined.

She looked at Mrs. Xu with hateful eyes, this poisonous woman!

"Mother, you don't know the value of things."

"There are three brothers in my daughter-in-law's house. At that time, the three brothers emptied their private property to support Yun Niang. It is of great value and this matter cannot be kept private."

"There's nothing to say if it's public, but if it's private, my three brothers will have bad tempers, and they won't be of any benefit to Mr. Lu in the future."

The old lady's tone paused.

Mr. Xu has just taken up the post of Minister and is in charge of the entire dynasty.

The Hou Mansion cannot be offended.

"If this dowry spreads, I'm afraid there's a thief in the house. Just in time to find out the thief!" Mrs. Xu's words made the old lady frightened.

until evening.

The old lady sent word that the thief had been caught.

When Mrs. Xu led people over, her eyebrows flashed.

She guessed that the other party would push Nanny Lin out to take the blame.

The old lady looked extremely ugly and closed her eyes slightly: "She has been with me for fifty years, and she has disappointed me so much. She stole and sold all your dowry one by one."

"Then Lu Jinghuai's mother is probably an innocent buyer."

She glanced at Nanny Lin threateningly.

Nanny Lin's children are all in charge of the house and are the old lady's confidants.

In order to save Lu Jinghuai's reputation, the old lady was willing to cut off her arms.

Mrs. Xu felt bitter in her heart, and simply said: "Send them to the government office. Aunt Lin's children are the sons of thieves, and they must not stay in the house. In the future, she may seek revenge for her mother, which will be a disaster."

Nanny Lin's eyes suddenly widened.

But the old lady ordered someone to gag her.

"The lost dowry must be found one at a time." Mrs. Xu glanced at the old lady, feeling extremely heartbroken.

The old lady almost gritted her teeth and responded word by word.

"As it should be."

By the time Xu left, Dengzhi had already returned from the government office.

With joy in her eyes, Dengzhi closed the door and whispered: "Madam, I'm afraid the other party is going to sell the iron."

"Seventeen years. I have stolen the dowry for seventeen years. Now if I give it all back, I will probably lose half my life."

"My servant has inquired about Lu Jinghuai, who is extremely mysterious outside. No one has ever known who his parents are. We only know that he spends a lot of money and advocates that heroes should make friends all over the world regardless of their origins. Many students from poor families are very good friends with him. friend."

Mrs. Xu showed a trace of ridicule: "Take my money and spend a lot of money. How noble."

"Don't ask about the source? What qualifications does he have to ask about the source? He is an outsider, the most disdainful status."

[In his previous life, he made friends with poor people, won three yuan in a row, and had an excellent reputation. 】

[Later, his biological sister, his mother's adopted daughter Lu Jingyao, personally reported the Xu family and his mother for rebellion, and the entire Xu family was killed. 】

[I got rid of my uncle and my mother perfectly. Married into the Hou Mansion in a serious manner, without touching any dirty water...]

[In my previous life, our family worshiped heaven. 】

Mrs. Xu's heart bleeds as she listened to her daughter's voice.

Okay, very good.

"A scholar from a poor family? Who knows that a poor family values ​​reputation and character the most. If it is revealed that he is a foreigner and an illegitimate son, will he still be able to enjoy it like a fish in water?" Mrs. Xu murmured in a low voice.

At night, Xu slept peacefully.

And the entire Hou Mansion stayed up all night.

The old lady's private treasury was opened wide, and rare treasures were moved out one by one.

The old lady was kneeling in the small Buddhist hall, her beads almost torn apart.

"Sell it, sell it all, quickly fill the shortfall."

"Jiaojiao is still in prison. Jingyao's eyes are swollen from crying. Jinghuai also feels bad. If his reputation cannot be restored this time, it will have a great impact on Jinghuai." Lu Yuanze looked ugly.

His private treasury has been sold out, and he even hanged Zhuangzi out.

At this moment, he couldn't help but hate Xu Shiyun for making him so embarrassed.

Jing Huai was so stigmatized that he was a vicious woman!
