Murong Xue curled her lips into a sneer, the three generations of the Du family lived under the same roof, and the children were not particularly rich. In their five-entry and five-exit house, there were at most three people living in it. Would there be any guest room for the Du family to live in
The people in the Du Mansion must have seen that Du's and Murong Jian's family properties had been confiscated. She was empty-handed and couldn't afford a tael of silver. Leaving the Du Mansion...
"Mammy thinks, how should I help my step-grandmother?" Murong Xue raised her eyebrows and looked at Nanny, her eyes twitched with a smile that was not a smile, she couldn't guess what Murong Xue was really thinking, so she could only act unnaturally Dry smile: "There is no need to help, just let the old lady go back to Zhen Guohou's mansion..."
"You're joking, my second uncle and we separated. It was already agreed that he will take care of my step-grandmother!" Murong Xue's eyes were cold: Du's mother and son have been planning the Zhen Guohou's mansion, and it was hard for them to leave. How can we let them go back...
Hearing the merciless refusal, Du's face became gloomy, and he looked at Murong Xue coldly: "Even if we are not related by blood, I am still your step-grandmother. I am homeless. Shouldn't I be supported by your brothers and sisters?"
Du's voice was neither high nor low, just enough to be heard by the people nearby, and the passers-by stopped and looked over: All goodness and filial piety are the first, Du's grandmother is Murong Xue's grandmother for one day, and her grandmother for life, and her grandmother is down and out , homeless, she does not take in, but it is unfilial.
Ouyang Shaochen's handsome face was slightly gloomy, and his deep eyes shot at Du Shi like a sharp arrow. Du Shi only felt a bang, and his mind went blank. momentum…
Murong Xue's complexion also darkened, she looked at her coldly and said, "Why is step-grandmother so forceful and insisting on living in Zhen Guohou's Mansion?"
When Du's mother and son left Zhenguohou's Mansion, they took away their own share of property, which meant that they drew a line with Zhenguohou's Mansion. Murong Jian was arrested, and Du's family was helpless. They could ask to live in the name of Zhenguohou's Mansion. On the Zhuangzi or in another courtyard, but she just opened her mouth to return to the Marquis of Zhenguo's Mansion, and she is strong and never backs down... The drunkard's intention is not to drink...
The eyes of the people in the capital looking at Mrs. Du became a little more subtle...
Du's complexion was gloomy, Zhen Guohou's Mansion was the home she had lived in for decades, she was used to it, so why would it be strange to want to live back again, Zhuangzi, other courtyards, nothing compared to Zhen Guohou's Mansion …
"Don't say step-grandmother is not used to living in other courtyards. After we separated, you have been living in other courtyards." Seeing that Mrs. Du wanted to speak, Murong Xue spoke first: "Besides, step-grandmother's property has been confiscated. Yes, but the step-grandmother still has the ability to survive, so there is no need to forcibly live in the residence of the Marquis of Zhen Guo... "
"What do you mean?" Du's eyes were cold: her dowry, family property, house, and shop were all confiscated, and there was not a few taels of silver left on her, so there was no so-called ability to survive...
Murong Xue's eyes were dark: "Step-grandmother has so many maids, nanny, if you sell half of them, the money you get is enough for step-grandmother to rent a small courtyard..."
Everyone was startled, only then did they realize that there were nearly twenty maids and mothers standing behind Mrs. Du.
Now the Du family has fallen down and can't afford to support servants, leaving behind a few caring servants, the rest should indeed be sold, the servants from the noble family are well-educated and can be sold at a good price, It's enough for Du Shi to rent a small yard and settle down...
Du's eyes blazed with rage, and he glared at Murong Xue viciously: "They are all people who have been by my side and have served for many years. They have no credit and hard work. How can I sell them because I am down and out?" Lose… "
"That's it, then step-grandmother should sell the jewelry on her body." Murong Xue was full of smiles: the five-bat holding birthday hairpin on Du's head was worth eight hundred taels of silver, and the sapphire on his forehead was worth one thousand taels. The jade earrings on the ears are worth nine hundred taels, and the pair of branch bracelets on the wrists are worth six hundred taels.
Just selling any of these jewelry is enough for Mrs. Du to rent a good courtyard and live in peace and stability for a year or two. Back then, the premise was that she lived frugally and was no longer as extravagant as she used to be in the Hou Mansion and other courtyards...
Hearing this, Mrs. Du's complexion was so dark that it was about to drip ink: This little bitch, she insists on making herself self-reliant, she clearly doesn't want her to go back to the Marquis Mansion, so what if the jewelry can be sold for money? Her jewelry cannot be sold casually...
"Why doesn't the step-grandmother speak? Could it be that the step-grandmother has feelings for the jewelry on her body and doesn't want to sell it?" Murong Xue looked at Du Shi, and Murong asked.
Everyone's eyes also fell on Mrs. Du. After wearing jewelry for a long time, there will indeed be feelings, but the feelings are also divided into priorities. If you are rich, you can put the jewelry away, but if you are poor, only a few pieces are left If you have jewelry, then you have to sell it to keep yourself alive, Mrs. Du has been silent for so long, could it be that she really doesn't want to sell the jewelry...
Able to support himself, but he doesn't support himself, but wants to live in his nephew and niece's house, this Du Shi, there is a problem...
Seeing everyone looking at her with suspicious eyes, Du's face was gloomy and terrifying, his sharp eyes were like sharp arrows, and he shot at Murong Xue fiercely, the raging anger burning in his eyes seemed to swallow her alive...
Murong Xue was not afraid, and looked over to meet her gaze, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, a half-smile, as if to say: "Why didn't the step-grandmother answer, maybe it's because I'm talking about the main thing?"
"Of course not." Du Shi replied sharply, with teeth gnashing in his deep voice.
Murong Xue ignored it, and said with a smile: "That's good, grandma sells one or two pieces of jewelry, and then she can rent a place to stay. Duobao Pavilion is the largest jewelry store in our capital, and the business is always fair. Step-grandmother sold the jewelry There, you can definitely get a good price there. I have bought things in Duobao Pavilion several times, and I am familiar with the shopkeeper. Do you need me to take my step-grandmother to Duobao Pavilion... "
Murong Xue smiled slightly, saw the indescribable pride and provocation in Du's eyes, and said angrily: "No need, I am also familiar with the shopkeeper of Duobao Pavilion!"
"Well, since my step-grandmother doesn't need my help, I'll take a step first. Step-grandmother, there will be a period later." Murong Xue smiled, holding Ouyang Shaochen's arm, and walked forward slowly.
That slightly raised mouth corner, that leisurely, brisk footsteps, like a victorious little tsundere, made Du Shi's chest burst with blood, spit out a mouthful of blood, closed his eyes, and passed out...
"Old madam... old madam..." The maids and nurses shouted in surprise, they hurriedly supported Du Shi, rubbed his chest, and called doctor, the scene became chaotic in an instant...
Murong Xue turned a blind eye and walked forward slowly with unhurried steps.
