【still……】

Because I went to Kuai Liao, I felt relaxed.

In the end, Wang Xifeng had no intention of doing any more housework, so she simply put it off until tomorrow. She left three rooms early and returned home to wash and eat.

After having enough wine and food, it was just past six o'clock in the evening. She was supposed to go to Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang to announce the good news, but she really didn't want to stay down and have fun today, so she moved everything to tomorrow.

.

She casually gathered up her green gauze and floral tube top skirt, and leaned on the couch in the back room, curling her two long legs like thin jade pillars under the gauze, feeling indescribably carefree and lazy.

Suddenly remembering something, Wang Xifeng turned to ask Ping'er who was packing the dowry: "It's been more than half a year, when do you think the second master will come back? Isn't he enjoying himself in the south and not thinking about Shu?"

Ping'er said without raising his head: "Maybe when Mr. Lin is well, we can let the second master go back to Beijing."

She didn't pay attention to the last words.

When Wang Xifeng heard the words "Mr. Lin is doing well," Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows, showing a hint of displeasure.

However, she didn't say anything more, she just smiled and scolded: "You are not in a hurry. When the second master comes back, I will tell him that you wish he stayed in the south for a long time and never left home!"

"

Ping'er paused, looked at Wang Xifeng resentfully, and then continued to clean up in silence - Jia Lian came back, and she also had to stay alone in the empty room, but what else could she expect?

Wang Xifeng saw through what she was thinking and couldn't help but giggle.

After laughing for a long time, he suddenly said with charming eyes: "That's right. If he hadn't been at home for most of the year, how could he show your kindness?"

While she was talking, she held up a jade pillar by herself, poked Ping'er with her toes and urged: "Don't worry about those cold and hard objects. You washed up earlier. Let's take it easy."

In recent months, Ping'er has always been dragged into doing fake things by her. Who still doesn't know what this means?

At that moment, my pretty face turned red and I waited for her to say something, but I heard a sudden chaos outside, and then someone said at the door: "Grandma, the old lady wants you to come over quickly."

"Tsk~"

Wang Xifeng turned over and sat up on the bed, complaining in a boring way: "I thought I would go into details tomorrow, but I didn't want the old lady to get anxious - just let it go, I will deal with your prodigal behavior when I get back."

Ping'er hurriedly found a set of clothes for her to wear when going out, and called the little maids to come in and help put them on.

Not long after, they were fully dressed, the master and the servant took the account book and hurried to Jia Mu's courtyard.

When she arrived in front of the big living room door, Wang Xifeng already had a smile on her face. But when she opened the door and was about to open her mouth, she suddenly saw two people sitting there, and the smile on her face suddenly froze.

In addition to Jia Mu, there were also Jia She, Jia Zheng and his wife in Gein's house, and...

Jia Zhen and his son!

At this moment, what does it mean that Jia Zhen and his son came to see Jia Mu?

We also invited the elders from the first and second bedrooms to accompany us...

Taking a closer look at the expressions of Jia Zhen and his son, Wang Xifeng's heart skipped a beat again, because both father and son had tearful eyes, obviously they had just cried to everyone about something.

But what can they cry about?

It can’t be that Youshi is also dead, right?

However, Wang Xifeng had only seen You a few days ago, and her complexion was even brighter than when Qin Keqing was alive.

That can only be...

"Big sister!"

At this time, Jia Zhen also stood up from her seat, covered half of her face with her sleeves and said, "I shouldn't have come, but for the sake of your nephew's future, I can only shamelessly come to beg the old lady."

"Yo~"

Wang Xifeng became more and more sure of her guess, but there was a hint of surprise on her face: "Brother Zhen, what are you saying? What does my family say about asking for help? If you have anything, just say something and we will help you if we can."

.”

After saying that, he smiled and said to Jia Mu: "Old ancestor, please comment quickly, is this true?"

Hearing this, Mother Jia nodded slowly and said, "Since you think so, things are quite simple - Brother Zhen, tell this matter to Feng Yatou."

Jia Zhen turned around and responded respectfully, then explained with a grimace: "Lai Shun carried Jiao Da back earlier, and then inexplicably recognized him as his godfather. I felt strange in my heart. Later, someone found out about this house.

From the last public case, I realized that the hereditary title was actually hidden in Qing Jiao Da!"

With that said, he handed Wang Xifeng the records of the Yun family's and Jiao Da's withdrawal from the family.

Wang Xifeng watched and listened to Jia Zhen's explanation, and then she realized that Yun Guang's ancestor was actually a slave in the Rongguo Mansion, and Wei Dao had always been obedient to the manor.

And when these two are compared, the secret of Jiao Da becomes apparent.

"Feng girl."

Wang Xifeng was secretly complaining, when Jia Mu suddenly asked: "Did you know about this before?"

"Of course I don't know!"

Wang Xifeng hurriedly clarified, and then said: "But what exactly is the matter? I'm afraid I have to hear what Lai Jia and Jiao Da said."

"That's the truth."

Mother Jia nodded again and ordered: "Let Lin Zhixiao accompany Brother Rong for a while, ask this matter clearly, and then talk back."

Seeing Yuanyang calling Lin Zhixiao, who had been waiting outside for a long time, to come in, and Lin Zhixiao and Jia Rong rushing home, Wang Xifeng's heart felt like it was burning.

There is a difference between passive and active in everything.

According to the original plan, it would be up to her second grandmother to take the initiative to break up the matter, and then she would be able to deal with it emotionally and rationally.

But now it was Jia Zhen who noticed it in advance and took the initiative to come to the door and cry to Jia's mother.

In this case, I'm afraid...

"Big sister."

At this time, I heard Jia Zhen say: "You also know the affairs of my family. The title handed down from our ancestors has been broken when it comes to Brother Rong. I finally managed to get him an official position as a Longjing Lieutenant through the help of others, but again

It has never been able to make up for the real shortcomings.”

At this point, he covered half of his face with his sleeves and said sadly: "At this moment, I heard that the ready-made title at home was almost lost to the outside world. Do you think I can't be anxious or annoyed?"

"You know me, Cuofei really can't bear this tone, and you don't dare to come in front of your ancestors, let alone provoke your close family members..."

"What kind of family is not family?"

At this time, Jia She interjected with disdain: "I'm just a slave. How can it be as close as the relationship between us?! Not to mention you, if Laiwang and his son really dare to squander your family's title, I will too

We cannot tolerate these two dishonest slaves who deceive our master!"

Although the father and son in the house are Wang Xifeng's companions and are her private slaves, it is reasonable for Jia She, as Wang Xifeng's father-in-law and the head of the family, to say this.

And as Wang Xifeng's daughter-in-law, it was difficult for her to contradict him face to face.

Just as she was having a headache on how to resolve this internal and external attack, Mrs. Wang spoke first: "It's hard to jump to conclusions now. Maybe Jiao Da doesn't have a title, or maybe he didn't tell him about it.

Where is home - otherwise, how could it have been so long without Xijue coming home?"

After hearing this, Wang Xifeng's eyes lit up!

Now if I worry about that title, I'm afraid there is no hope. If I want to escape unscathed, I have to bite the bullet and refuse to admit that I know about it.

And after losing the hope of inheriting the title, I can only work hard for myself after coming home.

But it's not like he broke the news. Even if his family wants to complain and hate, they can't blame him.

In this case, this is actually a blessing in disguise!

only……

How do I tell the visitor to act accordingly?

Wang Xifeng looked around, but there was no way out for the moment. She could only secretly pray that Laiwang and his son would not let the news slip indiscriminately, and persisted until he managed to pass on the news.

…………

It was approaching Xu hour [7 p.m.], and the three members of my family were having dinner at home. Suddenly, they heard someone banging on the door outside the courtyard, and the neighbors' dogs kept barking.

Lai Wang stopped with the chopsticks in his hand and even forgot to chew the food in his mouth. He asked vaguely: "At this time, who could it be?"

"I'll go take a look."

Lai Shun was beating the drum secretly in his heart. After all, the sound didn't sound like a good thing, but he still stood up and said with a smile: "Maybe Shuangquan is here to deliver wine again."

He couldn't even deceive himself with this statement.

How dare a waiter from a wine shop in Shuangquan smash the door of Lai's courtyard so loud?

Lai Wang naturally understood that his son was trying to comfort himself, so he swallowed the food in his mouth, stood up with support on the table and said, "I'll go with you."

Mrs. Xu didn't say anything and followed silently.

When they arrived at the gate, they heard the chaotic shouts of "Open the door, open the door quickly". Although the three members of the visiting family still didn't know whether something went wrong on Wang Xifeng's side or if the news was leaked elsewhere, they were already prepared for the worst.

preparation.

As expected.

As soon as the door was bolted, more than twenty servants rushed in like wolves and tigers from outside, most of whom were from Ningguo Mansion.

However, seeing that the leaders were Jia Rong and Lin Zhixiao, the father and son were slightly relieved.

When Lai Shun made the first report, he "forced to death" Lai Da's number one confidant Deng Haoshi, which greatly ruined Lai Da's face. It also gave Lin Zhixiao's family hope to fight against the Lai family, and they recognized Wang Xifeng as a

Godmother.

In this way, Lin Zhixiao can naturally be regarded as half of the royal family.

But after Jia Rong entered the door, he saw that there were only three people in the door. He immediately raised his hand and ordered: "Quickly, find Jiao Da!"

Immediately from behind, seven or eight powerful slaves broke into the east chamber and the main room and searched randomly.

Jia Rong gritted his teeth and stared at Lai Shun again. When he set up a trap to kill Jia Rui, Lai Shun was just a little person joining in the fun. Uncle Rong didn't even bother to take a look at Lai Shun.

But now when I see Lai Shun again, it feels like enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.

Although Jia Rong did not think about filling a gap and accepting the constraints of officialdom.

But whether you think about it or not is one thing, but whether you have it or not is another thing entirely!

What's more, now it's not a question of whether there is one, but the title that should belong to one's family was almost taken away by a dog slave!

They say that depriving someone of their wealth is killing their parents, so why not take away someone’s title?!

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Jia Rong subconsciously took two steps forward to give Laishun some lessons first.

"Brother Rong!"

However, Lin Zhixiao caught him quickly with quick eyes and hands, and persuaded with a smile: "The matter has not been decided yet, and his family is the dowry of the second mistress. He should not only look at the monk's face, but also the Buddha's face."

Only then did Jia Rong stop, but she said unconvincedly: "Why haven't you decided yet? Jiao Da and the Yun family left their families on the same day, so they must have titles!"

After saying that, he glared at Laishun again: "How dare you, a dog slave, care about the title in our mansion?!"

Laishun chuckled and said, "It seems that the title was originally given to slaves, right?"

Jia Rong was angry at first, but then his eyes lit up. He pointed at Laishun and said to Lin Zhixiao: "Look, look, he recognizes it himself!"

Lin Zhixiao frowned slightly, turned to look at Lai Wang, and was about to say something, but Lai Wang asked first, "How did the government know that Jiao Da has a title?"

Lin Zhixiao was still hesitating whether to tell Lai Wang the truth, but Jia Rong beside him was already very proud and told him how to compare the time of deportation.

"The Yun family actually..."

Lai Wang was really shocked this time. When he was ordered to go to Chang'an to help the Zhang family break off their engagement, he saw Yun Guang with his own eyes - that official power, that grandeur, that arrogance, who would have imagined that he was also a domestic slave!

Laishun was also depressed at the side and couldn't help complaining quietly: "Why didn't the old man mention this?"

In fact, he could probably guess the reason why Jiao Da didn't mention this matter.

Originally he was the master who kept pace with each other, but now that the Yun family official was promoted to Jiedushi, he Jiao Da was kicked out of the Ningguo Mansion.

In this world, Jiao Da is the owner of the most honorable person. How can he be so ambitious that others can destroy his own prestige?

But he deliberately ignored it, which made the family miserable!

Now I just hope that when the critical moment comes, he will not fall off the chain again.

Just when I thought of this, all the slaves who went to search the house returned without success, and reported that there were only three people in the courtyard.

"Where are the people?!"

Jia Rong suddenly became anxious and shouted at Laishun: "That dog Jiao Da... where is grandpa?!"

He originally wanted to call Jiao Da a "dog slave", but he thought that if he wanted to seize the title, he would have to get Jiao Da's approval, so he hurriedly changed his name to "Grandpa" temporarily.

It's just that this turning point is a bit too abrupt, and it sounds like I'm shouting 'Grandpa Dog'.

Laishun ignored him, but when he knew that Lin Zhixiao was also asking questions, he said: "My adoptive father got sick a year ago, and suffered from cold in the snow after the year. The bones in his body have not been well nourished, and he can't bear it."

He can't stand the cold either, so in May I sent him to Rehe to escape the summer heat. I thought I would bring him back for the holidays in the next two days, but who knows..."

As he spoke, he frowned and looked around.

"Rehe?"

Jia Rong frowned.

Lin Zhixiao explained at the side: "We have a Zhuangzi in Rehe, and now he has returned to Wang to take charge of him."

"snort!"

Jia Rong made a chibi sound, raised his hand and said: "Take these unruly slaves back to the house for questioning!"

However, Lin Zhixiao stopped him again. On the one hand, he arranged for people to stay at Lai Shun's house, and on the other hand, he sent people to the neighboring houses to check Lai Shuncai's words.

After it was confirmed that Jiao Da was indeed sent elsewhere in May, he brought his father and son back to the house for questioning.

But as soon as they left, Shuangquan holding a wine flask appeared from the entrance of the alley. He scratched his head and murmured: "This man who mobilized troops, what happened to his home?"

The wine would definitely not be delivered. He was about to go back to the store and tell the shopkeeper Qi about this, as well as Grandma Huang, who recently liked to supervise the work in the store morning and night.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a local dog suddenly appeared from next door to the original house, ran out all the way like a joy, and then dived into Ningrong's front alley.

"Is this damn dog crazy?"

Shuangquan was startled and walked toward Ningrong Street, cursing.

When passing by the alley where the mad dog disappeared, he couldn't help but poke his head in and saw a fat woman walking out of the alley carrying a lantern.

I heard her complaining: "You have already given it away, why did this dead dog suddenly come back again?! I can't sleep well with this beast at home. I will go back to my parents' house tonight to spend the night. Hurry up tomorrow."

Dispose of it!"

As he got closer, Shuangquan realized that the woman was not fat, but was already eight or nine months pregnant.

Then I heard a man in the alley behind ask happily: "Then I'll just kill it tomorrow and have a meal..."

"Pooh!"

The pregnant woman immediately spat: "You know very well that I don't see blood recently, but you still want to do this murderous thing - there are only a few days left, so you should send it to your aunt's house for foster care first!"

The man was obviously a little unhappy, and asked perfunctorily: "Do you want me to give you a ride?"

He said he was going to give me a ride, but he stood at the door and didn't move at all.

The woman said flatly: "No need, I'm used to walking at night, and besides, it's not that far away!"

When Shuangquan heard this, he saw that there was nothing lively to see, so he strode eastwards from West Street Entrance, back to the wine shop in Xingrongli, and told shopkeeper Ning and Grandma Huang about this.

Shopkeeper Ning guessed some random reasons, but after hearing this, Grandma Huang frowned and remained silent for a while, then went back to her backyard.

It wasn't until the store was about to close that Grandma Huang came out of the backyard again, called Shuangquan and said: "I just suddenly remembered that there was another family that wanted to deliver wine - but there may not be anyone at his family at the moment.

, you can go and just put the wine bottle under the door."

With that said, he gave Shuangquan an address.

Shuangquan had no choice but to pick up a lantern and a wine bottle and leave the store.

When they arrived at the place, they saw that the door was closed and it was dark inside. Shuangquan followed Grandma Huang's instructions and stuffed the wine bottle through the gap under the door.

However, his fingers unexpectedly touched something.

I subconsciously took it out and shined it with a lantern, but it turned out to be an empty purse sewn with rags.

Judging from the dust on it, someone must have slipped it in under the door not long ago.

Is this how their family collects things?

Shuangquan shook his head speechlessly, stuffed the empty purse back into its place, and hurried away with the lantern.
Chapter completed!
