"Did you just do this one thing wrong?"
Shen Yiyao's voice sounded faintly, circling in Aunt Wu's ear, causing her body to stiffen.
She was lying on the ground, and in front of her was the woven gold peony Persian carpet on the ground. It was gorgeous and luxurious, but it reminded Wu Yiniang of more than ten years ago.
At that time, she was young and beautiful. At that time, Hou Ye was beautiful and beautiful. As Shen Yiyao's personal maid, he always sees the love between Lord Hou and his wife. The Lord Hou treats his wife so carefully and caringly, and Ju Fang can't help but feel envious.
Envy at first, and gradually became a luxury.
Somehow, all this was known by Aunt Pei. One day, Mrs. Pei was still washing and dressing up in the room. Aunt Pei came and was received by Jufang. Aunt Pei said to her, you are your wife's dowry maid, aren't you
After that, this sentence became the deepest nightmare in Jufang's heart. Indeed, everyone knew what the dowry maids were used for, and she was the most beloved among these dowry maids, and she was also the best looking.
For some reason, I got involved with Aunt Pei, she helped her realize her extravagant hopes, and she...
Dreaming back at midnight, I also thought about it carefully, can I be worthy of the lady who has always been kind to her? This kind of thought was always fleeting, and was hidden in the deepest part of her heart.
Concubine Wu gasped and choked: "The slaves have a lot of sins, and the slaves shouldn't be in trouble with Aunt Pei, just to fulfill some of her shameful thoughts."
Shen Yiyao, who was sitting at the top, also recalled many, many years ago, and these memories made her look at Concubine Wu full of complexity and disgust.
"Aunt Wu, you're very smart, smarter than I thought. Since you're here to admit your mistake, but you have been avoiding the important, are you sure you're really here to admit your mistake?" Shen Yiyao suddenly lost patience, stood up and said to Cui Qiao: " Send her out!"
Aunt Wu got up from the ground and rushed towards Shen Yiyao, but was hugged by Cui Qiao.
"Ma'am, this servant really wants to repent. It's not that the servant will avoid the important and take it lightly. It's just that it is very difficult to talk about the things that he has done. I beg you, give the servant a chance, please..."
Aunt Wu's face was full of panicked tears, dripping down her slender chin, wetting the front of her clothes. Shen Yiyao looked at her, her eyes cold and full of alienation.
Such unprovoked eyes made Aunt Wu feel extremely humble. Shen Yiyao always treated the people around her kindly, but Ju Fang always felt unreachable.
This woman, she has everything that a woman in the world dreams of, status, honor, wealth, beauty, etc., and so on. Many times she needs something, she never has to ask for it herself, but someone always holds it in front of her. When she was at her parents' house, she was spoiled by her parents, brother and sister-in-law. Married, with her husband and his family holding...
When did extravagance turn into jealousy
Jealousy, resentment, unwillingness, anger...
These emotions gnawed at her heart day and night, the more she couldn't get it, the more she hated Shen Yiyao who had everything. Finally, with the help of Concubine Pei, this woman who had everything but no brain gave her to Lord Hou, and Jufang finally got what she wanted.
The next day, she came to kowtow to Shen Yiyao, and looked at the woman at the top who was looking at her with dark eyes, and a heartfelt satisfaction and pride filled her whole heart.
Aunt Pei is really a devil, she can understand the darkest place in everyone's heart.
"Aren't you jealous of her? Look at her, she has everything we don't have. It's annoying to be high. Wealth, beauty, honor, money... She has everything, and what we want can only rely on I want to earn it with my own hands... I really want to take everything from her, but I don't know what kind of face she will have..."
From then on, the maid Jufang became the second Aunt Pei.
As a concubine and even a concubine, the place where they should work hard should actually be Yan Ting's place, but because Lord Hou usually only thinks about his wife, he never goes to them. Jufang finally understood why Aunt Pei came to Jinseyuan so diligently every day, they could only pick up a little bit of scum from the woman's fingers, and the hatred became stronger...
Because she is the madam's personal maid, Ju Fang is more trusted by Shen Yiyao than Aunt Pei. Even though Shen Yiyao is very affectionate to Aunt Pei, Ju Fang can feel the difference between them. With a very dark mind, she and Concubine Pei conspired to slowly change the people around her. Since Jufang has the advantage of knowing herself and her enemy, these are not difficult things...
Seeing this woman who has everything, being played around by them, Jufang often can't help but want to laugh.
What if you are high above, after all, you are a fool!
Aunt Wu said word by word what she had done.
Cui Qiao and Cui Ping on the side couldn't believe it, how could this person's mind be so sinister and gloomy, and he actually went to harm his wife together with others. And from Concubine Wu's mouth, these two people knew the source of the soothingly heard that "the relationship between the madam and the third girl is not very good". No matter how good the mother-daughter relationship is, it can't stand being instigated by others every day!
Shen Yiyao's face was full of sadness and joy, tears flashed in her eyes, and after a long time, she finally became calm.
"Since you have done so many bad things, why do you think that I will forgive you, and why do you think that I will take you away regardless of the past?"
This sentence broke the silence, and Aunt Wu, who lowered her head and indulged in her own remorse, suddenly raised her head.
Seeing the stunned look on her face, Shen Yiyao smiled: "Don't tell me, in your mind, am I someone who doesn't hold grudges? I forgot to tell you, in fact, I also hold grudges. By the way, the reason why Ah Mo was born prematurely, You must have something to do with Pei Yujin inside, right?"
Shen Yiyao didn't stop any longer, and went straight to the inner room.
"Let her go."
The last sentence was as light as a puff of smoke.
Aunt Wu was even more astonished, her heart full of terror.
She actually knew, she actually knew!
In fact, in Concubine Wu's heart, even if she came to bow her head and ask for forgiveness, she had never regarded Shen Yiyao one point higher. In her mind, Shen Yiyao is still the naive and ignorant lady. As long as her attitude is low enough, as long as the three girls are not around, the lady will definitely take pity on her with old feelings.
That's why she lowered her stance and asked for forgiveness with remorse. Seeing that she couldn't hide it from Shen Yiyao, she was forced to reveal a little bit, and even in the end, she didn't fully explain it. It's just that she forgot one thing. Since she can do so much with Aunt Pei, Shen Yiyao has long suspected Yan Mo's bizarre premature birth, so how could she not think about her.
And Yan Mo's premature birth was not actually planned by Aunt Wu and Aunt Pei, and the role of the old lady was also involved. It's just that Concubine Pei wanted to get the power of housekeeping, and the old lady wanted to take back the industry income from Shen Yiyao, so she made this trick. Afterwards, Auntie Pei came to discuss with Auntie Wu. Auntie Wu only thought that Auntie Pei wanted to get the power of housekeeping, but she didn't know that there was an old lady among them. It just doesn't matter whether you know or don't know. There is no so-called seamlessness in this world. The sins that you have done will one day be retributed.
Cui Qiao and Cui Ping were full of anger, and seeing Aunt Wu had been stunned on the spot, they stepped forward and dragged her out.
Aunt Wu was thrown under the steps, and Cuiqiao said to the maidservant in the yard, "Throw her out, and don't let her enter the yard when she comes again."
Cui Qiao and Cui Ping were still reserved, but the women and maids outside were not so gentle anymore. Several people dragged Concubine Wu up and threw it directly outside the courtyard gate.
Aunt Wu fell to the ground in embarrassment. Before anyone could react, she heard a small cry beside her.
"Auntie, don't beg Madam, let's go back." Yan Chan cried while helping Aunt Wu up.
Aunt Wu turned her head to look at Wen Jing and Suya's obedient daughter, her anxious eyes finally turned calm and determined.
This is her daughter, her life! She would do anything for her!
"Don't be afraid, the aunt will ask the lady. Don't worry, the aunt will let the lady take you away."
…
That night, Aunt Wu was suspended.
Because the maids around her have not been very concerned about things recently, no one has found that Concubine Wu is hanging on the beam. It wasn't until early the next day that Yan Chan came to look for Aunt Wu, only to find Aunt Wu who was swaying slightly on the beam.
Yan Chan screamed and fainted on the spot.
Shen Yiyao came after receiving the report, but couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
Aunt Wu didn't leave a single word, but she couldn't understand what she meant. Let his death wash away the sins he committed before, I just ask Shen Yiyao not to blame the sins of adults on the children.
Yan Chan was demented and she didn't cry or make trouble. Shen Yiyao couldn't bear to let her stay alone in this yard and took her back to Jinseyuan. He also instructed the following people to handle the funeral of Concubine Wu, and she would come out with the money.
Yan Yan got the letter back, and after learning the details of the whole thing, she got angry in front of Shen Yiyao.
"What did you do to bring her back? Are you really going to take her back to the Duke's Mansion? Don't you forget why Aunt Wu died, and are you going to bring someone back to hold you grudges every day?! I really can't figure it out. How does a human head grow? Why do you think that we must let go of the past and do what she wishes?"
Luo Huaiyuan was also speechless, and the whole thing revealed an indescribable feeling of disgust.
You come to admit your mistakes, you come to repent, and others must forgive you? If you don't forgive someone, you will take your own death as a threat!
Yes, this is a threat, anyway Yan Yan feels so, otherwise she would not be so angry.
Yan Mo on the side said: "Mother, this person can't stay with us. If you can't bear it, you can entrust her to the aunt, find her a marriage and marry her directly."
"It's not that she can't bear it, but she looks pitiful." Shen Yiyao paused, then said, "Since you all said so, I'll go to your aunt in a moment, and tell her that Yan Chan will be handed over to her. She. These five girls have always been obedient and honest, but it's a pity... "
It's a pity that Concubine Wu made a mistake. If Shen Yiyao was alone, she might get her wish, because Shen Yiyao was really soft-hearted. People die like lights go out, and she has never been the one who hated things between adults and children. It's a pity that Yan Yan and Yan Mo are both grown up now, and their children are against it. Shen Yiyao is not stupid now, how could she ignore her children's opinions for someone who made her feel very complicated.
Luo Huaiyuan said: "I think it's better for my mother to move faster. This mansion is full of ghosts and ghosts. Who knows what other moths will come out."
Shen Yiyao also felt that this statement was reasonable, and ordered the people below to speed up. Because of the previous experience, Yan Yan did not plan to go back. She planned to sit in the mansion in person and send her mother away before returning to the Fourth Prince's Mansion.
During this period, Shen Yiyao went to find Xue, and Xue readily agreed. Shen Yiyao was a little embarrassed, and repeatedly said that Yan Chan's daily expenses were covered by her, while Xue Shi smiled and said that she still needs to mention these.
When it was almost noon, all the odds and ends were shipped out, and only some large pieces of furniture remained. Yan Yan simply asked Shen Yiyao and Yan Mo to leave in the car first, and let the servants watch over the matter of moving the furniture.
Because Shen Yiyao had promised the servants who served by her side before, if she wanted to go with her, it was time to take out the body deed from Weiyuan Hou's mansion, and Yan Yan stayed behind to do these finishing touches.
Shen Yiyao left with Yan Mo on the front foot, and received a message from Rong An Tang on the back foot to invite someone.
Yan Yan thought that she had to go through Rong'an Hall for the body contract, so she let Luo Huaiyuan stay in Jinseyuan and went to Rong'an Hall by herself. After going there, I found that the whole family was there, except for the people who had lived in the third room, Aunt Lan, the fifth master, and Yan Hong from the second room.
Seeing Yan Yan's arrival, Chen Shi took the lead in launching the attack: "Third girl, you came just in time, your mother is just going back to her mother's house by herself. There are so many people in your second room, how can you solve it?"
Yan Yan is not like Shen Yiyao, who is soft-faced. She never saves face for others. She is always full of anger.
She glanced at Aunt Lan and sneered at the Chen family: "I've never heard of a widow who was picked up by her own family and brought a lot of concubines and aunties with her. Why, three What does Auntie mean that they don't have the surname Yan?"
Chen Shi was choked back by this sentence, and she said angrily: "In the current situation in the mansion, the second sister-in-law will think, throw all the burdens to us, and go to relax and be happy by yourself. How can we help the third house and the big house? Your second room raises this group of people!"
Xue said with a smile: "Third younger brother and sister, you are talking about things, don't get involved in our big room."
Yan Yan laughed angrily at what Chen said, "If the third aunt doesn't want to, it's fine, I remember that the old lady gave you the three houses in my father's name before. The old lady can't remember that she has two more. Poor grandson, my eldest sister still remembers, if you don't hand over those two villagers, then give them to my two poor younger brothers?"
"You—" Chen shi's face suddenly twisted, and screamed: "This is the three rooms that the old lady gave us, why should we hand it over."
Yan Yan raised her eyebrows: "Just because these two Zhuangzi are under my father's name, don't tell me they are divided by the old lady. My mother has a soft temper and doesn't want to care about you. She is too sad and neglected for a while. If not, let’s go to Shuntian Mansion to talk about it, let others see the dead father’s body, and the younger brother robs the property under the elder brother’s name, leaving his children alone, what is the crime?”
Yan Qu's face flushed red and he stood up, "Niece Yan, don't spit your blood! We also have a share of the property in this public school."
Yan Yan said with a stern face: "I only know that the two Zhuangzi belong to my father. As for where the property of your third house has gone, the third uncle can ask your grandmother about her old age."
"you-"
Everyone in the mansion knows that the old lady sold many properties in the mansion in order to maintain the mansion's livelihood. After so many years, there are only these two small villagers left. In the eyes of the three-bedroom couple, their family has property in the public, and Yan Qu is the son of the old lady. Now that Yan Ting is gone, they should be given it. But from the perspective of the law or outsiders, they only recognize the names on the land deeds, so how can they recognize these.
Yan Yan will talk about this with the three families, one is out of anger, thinking that these people are like dog skin plaster. Second, it was also the idea given by Luo Huaiyuan. After all, Yan Hong and Yan Qing belonged to the second room no matter what they looked at. Yan Ting was dead, and of course they were taken care of by Shen Yiyao, the first-born mother. It was only because Luo Huaiyuan and the others united with the government of the township that they had a bad idea that their parents would pick up the newly widowed daughters and return to their parents' home to live in. The younger generation of the second room would naturally fall on the old lady or the uncle Yan Qu.
But now the faces of these people in Sanfang can also be seen. Not to mention whether the people in Sanfang will care about Yan Hong and Yan Qing, even if it is because of their affection, they will live together in the past, and you can imagine that the two of them will live together in the future. not good. In view of Aunt Wu's hanging over the beam, Yan Yan decided to 'help' both Shen Yiyao and Yan Mo in order to remove their worries.
"Originally, my niece didn't want to mention this. Since the third aunt is so kind, my niece decided to talk about it. My niece is a married daughter and shouldn't be in charge of the house. A heart of compassion was born. What? The direct descendant of the dignified Marquis Weiyuan, but just because of the death of his father, he has to be in a situation of being under the fence? Don't forget that the mansion of Marquis Weiyuan is standing under your feet now, don't do anything A move against the customer!"
Aunt Lan hugged the fifth young master Yan Qing and sobbed and cried, which was extremely pitiful. Yan Hong, who has always been taciturn, also has a sad face.
Without waiting for the couple's rebuttal, Yan Yan added: "So the third uncle and the third aunt must not blame the niece for talking too much, even for the deceased father, I have to take care of this matter."
Yan Zhi stood up: "What niece Yan said makes sense. I, the eldest brother, don't want to say this, but this is indeed a bit too much. I'm not born to my mother, and we don't dare to have too many big rooms. What are you thinking, but the things of the second brother should also be left to the heirs of the second disciple. A Mo has the second brother and sister as a mother, and also has the Zhen Guogong as his support, and he can see that the second brother and sister do not want to fight for this. It's just that these two children, one I haven't gotten married yet, and I'm still ignorant, what should I do?! Mother, you have to say something, don't let the second brother die in the sky."
Everyone's eyes gathered on the old lady on the bed. The old lady did not make a sound for a while, and seemed to be struggling in her heart. She doesn't deny that she likes the third child, but she also likes Yan Hong, who was brought up by her. Coupled with Yan Ting, the son who made her heartache, the balance in her heart slowly began to tilt.
After a long time, she made a sound.
Zhao's mother said: "The old lady said that she was really confused before, and now she means to change the names of the three young masters and the fifth young master. Since the two are still young, naturally they can't go out alone to set up a door, so they For the time being, I live with the old lady and the third master, and the third master and the third lady are responsible for managing Zhuangzi."
Naturally, the couple was reluctant, but Yan Yan was still staring at him.
The eldest daughter of the second room has always been a sturdy temperament, and no one will give face to anyone who gets angry. Yan Qu and Chen shi are really afraid that she will go to Shuntian Mansion. Once they go to Shuntian Mansion, the two of them will naturally be unreasonable. It's time to lose face and lose their money, and maybe they will be sent to prison. After all, before Yan Ting died, he was also a marquis. Although it is no longer, the court has always judged this kind of case seriously.
The three-bedroom couple dropped a bamboo basket and fetched water, and also carried the burden of the old lady on their bodies. Now, they can only comfort themselves, Zhuangzi can get a lot of benefits by taking care of it in their own hands.
The matter was settled like this, Yan Yan ordered someone to go to the government to change the land deed on the spot, and then handed it over to Yan Hong and Aunt Lan. The two looked complicated, and they didn't know whether to thank them or say anything.
In the end, Yan Hong murmured, "Thank you third sister."
"Don't thank me, you can do it yourself in the future."
The meaning of these words is very clear, they will have to rely on themselves in the future. The three-bedroom couple is not a good thing. The two rely on the three-bedroom to eat, and it is inevitable that they will look at people's faces. But with this industry in his name, he has the confidence to straighten his back. What will happen in the future, you have to plan slowly by yourself.
Later, Yan Yan proposed to follow Shen Yiyao to leave those servants. Silver ' This statement is not lost. Yan Yan was too lazy to write ink with her, so she asked her to set a price, and she bought it from these people.
Chen Shi naturally opened his mouth, but Xue Shi couldn't listen to her and ran a few words on her. After that, Yan Yan spent 1,000 taels of silver to buy the servants.
Naturally, there is a lot to give, but in Yan Yan's mind, it is not a problem that can be solved with money. Luo Huaiyuan had said before that if that mother-in-law embarrassed you, you would beat her to death with money.
This kind of little fun between husband and wife will not go into details for the time being.
After Shen Yiyao moved out, the big house also moved out.
Xue's name has a yard with two entrances in the outer city. Although the place is not too big, it is more than enough to live in a family and a few servants.
The servants that the big room took away naturally bought them from the Chen family. However, Shi Xue was not as talkative as Yan Yan, and the price he gave was the market price, which also made Chen Shi very angry.
Both the big room and the second room have left, leaving only the third room. Seeing that the deadline is getting closer and closer, the third room has also begun to move out.
It's just that there is no yard under the name of the three-bedroom, so I can only buy it now. Finally, picking and choosing, Chen used Yan Yan's thousand taels to buy a small yard with two entrances. The place is crowded enough to live in, but unfortunately it is badly worn out, but it is good to have a place to live.
After the third room left, the huge Weiyuan Marquis Mansion was finally empty.
After that, two seals were affixed on the gate, in order to be rewarded by the saint to another family as a mansion in the future.
One day, an ordinary-looking carriage stopped in front of the former Weiyuan Hou's mansion, which no longer had a plaque, and no one ever got off the carriage. After a long time, the carriage slowly left.
