Not to mention the grievances Ruan felt in her heart, looking at Jiang Nai crying and sobbing pretendingly next to the old lady, she wished she could tear the girl apart with her hands.
How abominable!
Even before she could act, she put on a great show with her full voice and emotions!
Honggu hurriedly took a clean handkerchief and came forward, wiped Jiang Xiaosi's tears and said with a distressed look, "Fourth girl, please stop crying. It's not a big deal. The old lady knows it all."
"Who in this family doesn't know that the fourth girl is the most considerate in dealing with others, and she is also very filial to our old lady."
The old lady nodded, comforted Jiang Nai a few words, then raised her eyes and glared at Mrs. Ruan angrily, "Okay, I just missed two gifts. My old lady will make up for your two precious daughters for her, so you don't have to say anything.
Xiaosi missed who slapped whom in the face."
Mrs. Ruan's face turned pale, and she realized that the old lady was only trying to protect her shortcomings. Instead, she blamed them, mother and daughter, for being ignorant.
Seeing the sudden turn of events, Jiang Mianmian quickly stood up and said softly, "Grandma, don't be angry. Mother didn't mean that."
"Actually, we sisters don't mind. We know that the fourth sister is busy with work, and she didn't forget it on purpose. Let's just forget about making up for the gift."
Jiang Rourou hurriedly followed suit, "Yes, old lady. The reason why mother is so anxious is not because the fourth sister alone missed our sister's gift, but because the things in Meirenzhai are not cheap."
"Fourth sister's large-scale spending has caused the public to lose so much money. I'm afraid it won't be easy for the family to make ends meet."
Mrs. Qiu stood up suddenly and looked at the three Ruan and her daughter with a sneer, "I just said that the second brother, sister and daughter are here to assign me?"
"You mean, I opened the back door for my Nana? Hehe, I allocated a sum of money from the public account for her to squander, right?"
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, don't be so angry. Of course you can't say such unfounded things." Jiang Jixiang quickly stood up and advised, glaring at Mr. Ruan with a warning look.
"Narcissus started late and doesn't understand the rules. I hope my elder brother and sister-in-law don't blame me." Jiang Jixiang smiled and looked at Jiang Fugui and Qiu with sullen faces.
However, Jiang Rourou pretended to be innocent and shouted in surprise, "Father, daughters and mother are just worried about you, father. You are tired from running around outside every day, managing so many Zhuangzi shops, and working hard for the entire Jiang family. In the end,
But it was squandered by others casually.”
Mrs. Qiu also wiped her tears and cried softly, "Master, you also know what the situation in the second room is like. Our daughter's Qiuxiang courtyard was damaged by lightning during the last heavy rain.
We don’t have money to repair it, so we just keep putting it off.”
"You don't know, the fourth lady spent 2,800 taels in Beauty House." Qiu covered her nose with a handkerchief, showing an expression of hatred for steel, "Isn't it too extravagant?
"
The third lady, Mrs. Han, turned her head to look at Mrs. Ruan, showing a strange expression.
Mrs. Han, whom Ruan only regarded as her third wife, was also shocked and secretly suppressed the proud look in her eyes.
Jiang Nai glanced at Mrs. Ruan blankly, "Second Aunt Xin, what do you mean? You can eat whatever you want and don't talk nonsense. Are you saying that the things I bought at Meirenzhai were charged to Gongzhong's account? Do you have it?
Is there any evidence?”
"If you have any evidence, ask Auntie to take out the account book and check it out.
