Chapter 253 259. Pingyang Hou Mansion 07
Yun Tutu has already guessed what Mrs. Hou will do next.
"My slave has seen Madam!" Several women came to the gate with some girls and saluted respectfully.
Zhang Yang no longer knows what words to use to describe it. Is this treating the entrance of the Hou Mansion as a big stage and a torture chamber?
To be able to play, you have to be these ancients. There are so many tricks.
Especially at this time, there are no entertainment projects, and everyone’s spirit of eating melons is high.
Even Zhang Yaowen, who has always been steady, eats melon seeds much more slowly and concentrates on staring ahead.
The live version of the house fighting drama is really eye-opening.
I saw Lin Xi looking at these servants coldly, "Didn't I ask you to reorganize the accounts and take stock of the old things I brought in? Why did you empty out all the young ladies' houses?
Do you know what you are doing? This is a slave deceiving the master!”
Speaking of this, Lin Xi also gave Liu Changqing and the others a cold look. Although these concubine children were considered the masters of the house, their aunt was half a slave. In the past, she didn't want these people to cause trouble in front of her, so she let them go.
It seems that some people have had enough good lives, and it’s time to take a beating.
She didn't want to beat these people to death with a stick, because she would have to replace a new group of people, and she would have to remember these people's faces, so she was too lazy to bother.
"My lady, your slave, has been wronged. Even if you give me some courage, I still wouldn't dare to act like this."
The several old ladies in charge directly raised their heads to the ground, all of them shouting injustice.
"Then tell me what's going on? Why are all the courtyards emptied?"
Liu Changqing and the others looked anxious and looked inside the house frequently. Why hasn't their father come over yet?
If my aunt continues talking, they will really lose their face.
"Madam, you have really wronged me. We really only counted your dowry, and we didn't touch anything in the house.
But we don't know why the things in the warehouse, It will be placed in the courtyards of various young ladies.”
As soon as these words came out, it was immediately confirmed, and the surrounding people were in an uproar.
The Pingyang Marquis Mansion is really messing around. The mistress of the house is still alive and well, and she just divides the dowries among others.
Now that people are asking for their things back, they are still messing around here. If these people hadn't been so stupid today and exposed the matter, Mrs. Hou would never know how aggrieved she would be.
However, there were some smart people who exchanged glances and did not stand up to criticize.
Using a woman’s dowry is very disgraceful, and they will not speak for such a person.
Yun Tutu, "Although some laws in ancient times were very strict, I think this is pretty good. At least women's most basic rights are protected."
Zhang Yang, "If you really want to scheme, there are too many It's a way.
But some people are more clever and can hide it. If Marquis Pingyang was not in the house today, Mrs. Hou would not dare to make such a plan."
"The time and place are favorable. , everything is there, Mrs. Hou is indeed smart." Zhang Yaowen also praised.
Seeing Liu Changqing and the others' faces turned pale, Yun Tutu and the others shook their heads. They were already behind at birth, but they didn't know themselves yet, and the outcome was already doomed.
"Mother, we don't know," Liu Changqing and the others could only say dryly, "You know this is your dowry, and we certainly don't dare to accept it."
"I am also wondering, how can my dowry be arranged? Go to your room?" Lin Xi tapped his forehead, looking very distressed, "Go and check if the people below are doing something wrong?" "Madam, these are all things. The Marquis told me, "The cashier immediately knelt down, "No matter how brave I am, I will not dare to touch your dowry easily."
The cashier belongs to the Hou family. Confidant, Lin Xi had to be somewhat polite when he met her before, but the other party didn't take her as his wife seriously.
But this time the matter was too big for his small accounting room to handle.
The Marquis has not shown up yet, and now he can only mention the name of the Marquis. He hopes that Mrs. Hou will stop holding on to this matter. In fact, it is also a hidden threat.
Lin Xi clenched her fists and looked at the carriage that was speeding from a distance. She smiled and said, "Since it is the order from the Marquis, I have no reason to blame you.
Hou I am the head of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, so there is nothing wrong with using my dowry."
Finally, Liu Fengning was forced to say this, no matter how fast he ran, it was still too late.
Liu Fengning rode in a carriage and rushed all the way with the eunuch. He didn't meet Yun Tutu and the others along the way, and he had already scolded Lin Xi in his heart.
As the wife of the Marquis, don’t you know the importance of this matter? Shouldn't people be brought to the palace gate in advance to wait for the call?
I used to look like a very smart person, why did I act stupid this time?
Seeing that he was about to arrive, he found that he was surrounded by people on the three floors outside and on the outside.
"What are you doing?" The eunuch Li Eunuch opened the curtain and frowned at the scene, "Master Liu, is there anything big happening in the mansion today?"
Liu Fengning also looked at it. Wu Shui shook his head and said, "I was fine before I went out. Could it be that something happened?"
But now is not the time to dwell on this. He had to bring people into the palace quickly, so he opened the curtain and yelled, "What's going on? Why are you blocking the outside of the palace? Evacuate the people quickly."
Upon hearing this, the guards quickly led people over to drive away the crowd.
Seeing the return of the head of the Hou Mansion, everyone pointed.
Eunuch Li raised his eyebrows and looked at Liu Fengning. It seemed that something had happened to Pingyang Hou Mansion.
Now I hope that the other party will not delay His Majesty’s important event, otherwise the Marquis of Pingyang will really do it.
Fortunately, the guards were very powerful and it didn't take long to open a way. The pointing and discussion around him also made Liu Fengning's face darken.
Even if I didn't hear everything clearly, I still seemed to vaguely hear that these people were accusing him of embezzling his wife's dowry and giving the dowry of the Marquis's wife to his concubines and concubines.
“You said that even concubines have children, does that mean those concubines also got them?”
“I didn’t expect that Pingyang Marquis was such a person. Isn’t this pampering concubines and destroying wives? ?”
“How is it possible? These officials are all sanctimonious, appearing to do one thing but secretly doing something else.”
"Then Mrs. Hou is really pitiful. She entered the Hou Mansion with a generous dowry, which means that she can support the entire Hou Mansion alone."
"What is this? Look at these concubine children. He dared to stop Mrs. Lin's carriage and make all kinds of accusations against her. How could he show any respect for his aunt's mother?
This prince really doesn't know how to teach children. There is no respect for seniority or inferiority at all."
"Do I need this? I have a title and an official position, but the Marquis's wife is just a merchant. No matter how much she is wronged, she can only hold it in. "
"If these bastards hadn't been too stupid to stir up this matter, we would still have been kept in the dark. "
