Chapter 155

Although the second concubine did all her best, but because Nicholas Tse avoided seeing Zhuang Xinchuan, the prospect of the matter was not clear. Although Zhuang Xinchuan and his second concubine were upset, Zhuang Mingxi, who was the party involved, was more distressed than shame.

Is she bad to her brother and mother? All along, she has been wholeheartedly advising them and her brother. From a very early age, she has always figured out how to clean up any messes caused by her brother. But what did she get? For his own sake, the elder brother doesn't care about her life at all. Mother also has only one brother in her heart, no matter what happens, she is only on the side of her brother, and she doesn't think about herself.

When things got to this point, if she got married, would she have a good life? Will the Xie family really help them? With just his brother's talent, can he take back the position of head of the family from the big house? Without the support of her parents' family, how could she stand in a family like the Xie family as a 'daughter'? They took her as a bet, have they ever thought of her bleak end?

The more Zhuang Mingxi thought about it, the more sad he became. But what can she do? Mother is right, the marriage of the 'woman' cannot be decided by herself at all. Could she just sit back and wait for her tragic end?

The sudden change made her see the faces of the relatives around her clearly, and made her feel anxious about the future. She hid in the room every day to wash her face with tears, without thinking about tea and rice, thinking hard about the way to change her destiny. But no matter how smart she is, she is still just a 'girl' who is not very old. She has the humbleness of being a 'woman' in this era, and her thoughts can't escape the secular framework. She dares not openly defy her brother's mean, don't even dare to leave the house.

On this day, she was crying silently in the room, but she heard the noise outside. She wiped away her tears and called in Magpie, her maidservant: "Look what happened outside?"

The magpie went out to inquire for a while, and came in to report: "It's the second concubine's wife and the third young master's 'milk' and 'milk' who got into trouble."

Zhuang Ming was shocked. She knew that since Qin Tian had Fang Yanxing in charge, her mother was very unconvinced. She often said, "I want to see if Fang's family is capable of running this family! If there is anything wrong with Fang's family, Who else can you rely on for that cheap maid, and the position of the housekeeper will not be returned to me at that time!"

It must be the mother who is looking for some reason to find Fang's fault!

Thinking of this, Zhuang Mingxi didn't care about being sad, and hurriedly took his maid to look for it.

After Zhuang Xinzhong got married, he and Fang Yanxing lived in the ginkgo garden not far from the third concubine's yard.

From a distance, Zhuang Mingxi saw a lot of maids and wives around the Ginkgo Garden, all of them stretched their necks to look in, pointed and covered their mouths and snickered. The mother's sharp voice came from inside: "I am a good concubine hired by the master, how can I make you so condescending! Did you put it away on purpose?"

Then came Fang's submissive voice: "Why did I put it away on purpose? You have seen it with your own eyes, auntie, and there really isn't one in the storeroom! If there's anything wrong with auntie, just talk about it, why bother the house and disturb the wife? Retreat, let the servants in the family watch jokes?"

"Of course you're afraid of me making trouble, you just don't want people to know the shameful things you've done!"

Fang's voice became "excited": "Auntie can't just wrong people for no reason. I have asked the head of the family to come back. In front of the head of the family, let's make it clear!"

The mother snorted a few times: "That's the best, but I want to see how 'fair' the master's 'milk' and 'milk' do!"

Hearing this, Zhuang Mingxi wanted to go in, but she saw Qin Tian's personal maid, Qiulan coming from the other side, she saluted Zhuang Mingxi, and then sternly said to the maids and maids who were surrounding outside: "All around What to do here, what to do and what to do, whoever dares to talk nonsense, go get the board by yourself!"

The surrounding servants dispersed angrily. Qiu Lan walked into the yard and said to the arrogant second concubine and Fang Yanxing, who was red-eyed, "The head of the house has returned and is waiting for you in the hall. !"

The second concubine and Fang Yanxing came out one after the other, and behind Fang Yanxing was the anxious third concubine. When the second concubine saw Zhuang Mingxi, she gave her a look. Zhuang Mingxi walked to her side.

"What happened?" Zhuang Mingxi asked his mother in a low voice.

The second concubine asked the people from the third room to go there first, and then she replied: "Don't worry, I'll wait and see the show later! Has my family for more than ten years been in charge of nothing?"

In the hall, Qin Tian sat in the front seat, and below stood the second concubine, Fang Yanxing, and the third concubine. Zhuang Mingxi and Fang Jianshu sat aside. The eldest wife was not disturbed for a while in the yard, and Zhuang Xinzhong had not come back from the tea shop.

Qin Tian heard the whole story.

It turned out that Zhuang Xinchuan was not feeling very well these days. The second concubine wanted ginseng stewed chicken soup for him to drink, but when he asked the maid to go to the warehouse to pick up the ginseng, he was told that there was no ginseng. ( ) The second concubine was not so angry, she found Fang Yanxing and there was a lot of trouble. Fang Yanxing was so entangled by her that she had to ask someone to open the warehouse to show her, but the second concubine was still unwilling to give up.

The second concubine stood in the center of the hall and said with a sharp voice, "Young master's 'milk' 'milk', although I am a concubine, I am also a good concubine hired by the master! Besides, the ginseng is not for me, but for the second young master. Eat it! Even if I am not qualified to eat ginseng, Second Young Master is still qualified to eat it! But Mrs Fang..." She pointed at Fang Yanxing beside her, her face full of grievance: "But Mrs Fang insists on not taking ginseng. Take it out, what does it mean to look down on us? If it spreads out, I know that the wife doesn't take us seriously, and if I don't know, I think the banker doesn't take our Li family seriously! "

Qin Tian understood what she meant. If today's affairs were not handled properly, she would definitely not take a break. She was the family of the prefect's wife.

Next to Fang Yanxing, who has seen very little in the world, she can't hold back her breath. When she heard the second concubine's remark, she suddenly became anxious, "How can you say that, concubine, you have also seen the warehouse, there is really nothing you want. Participate!"

The second concubine squinted at her and sneered: "You can coax anyone, but you can't coax me! Who knows better than me what is in the warehouse! When I 'handed over' the warehouse out, I remembered it. It's settled! There are obviously five high-quality ginseng in the warehouse. I asked Mama Jiang, who is in charge of the warehouse, and no one took these ginseng away during this period of time. Now they are gone, or it's you Put it away on purpose and don't give it to us, or..." The second concubine sneered again and again: "Either someone is full of 'private' pockets!"

"I didn't do that!" Fang Yanxing blushed, and Fang Jianshu, who was beside her, also glared at the second concubine: "My sister is not such a person!"

The second concubine's face was full of disdain: "Who knows? Now she has all the keys of the banker, and she can sweep anywhere with money. I'm afraid that some people have never seen good things, and now they're thinking about these riches and honors!"

"You...!" Fang Yanxing burst into tears. Fang Jianshu comforted a few times on the side, raised his head and scolded the second concubine angrily: "Second concubine, don't talk 'nonsense' without any evidence!"

"The account book is the evidence, and Mama Jiang is the witness!" The second concubine looked at Qin Tian with provocation in her eyes: "Young Master 'milk', 'milk', you can ask Mama Jiang to come over and ask!"

There is no need to summon Jiang's mother, Qin Tian also knows that it is the second concubine who is doing the trick. She knows exactly who Fang Yanxing is, she can't do such a thing at all. It's just that as the head of the family, she must not be blindly partial, and she must stand on the ground no matter what!

She cast a soothing look at Fang Yanxing, motioned her to be calm, and then asked someone to call Mama Jiang over.

Jiang's mother is in her forties, with a fair face and thin eyebrows and thin eyes. She knelt on the ground and replied to Qin Tian's words: "If you go back to the eldest young master's 'milk', 'milk', when the second concubine 'handed over' the key to the warehouse, she made an account with the old slave, and there were indeed five *** in the warehouse. !" With that, he presented the ledger to Qin Tian for review.

Fang Yanxing pointed at Mama Jiang and said anxiously: "Mother Jiang, you must speak with conscience. When you 'handed over' to me, where were these five ginseng in the warehouse? Besides, you never told me. There is still this ledger, who knows if you have done anything!"

"Mother Jiang, it's a big deal, you can think about it before answering!" The second concubine walked over and patted Mama Jiang on the shoulder, and said meaningfully. Then she looked at Qin Tian again, and said coldly, "Although the five-branched ginseng is not a big deal, if someone with dirty hands and feet is in charge, who can be at ease?"

Hearing the words "hands and feet are not clean", Fang Yanxing was so angry that she leaned on her brother's shoulder and cried. The third concubine behind her was also weeping. She pointed at Fang Yanxing and said softly, "What did I say? You just didn't listen to me. Now it's like this, I see how you can raise your head and be a human being in the future!"

Once this matter is implemented, Fang Yanxing will not be able to raise her head in the banker all her life, not to mention the position of the housekeeper!

Fang Yanxing was angry and anxious, and her tears flowed even more fiercely.

Mother Jiang on the ground only felt that the hand on her shoulder weighed more than a thousand gold.

After the third young master's 'milk' and 'milk' took over the inner house, the second concubine found her and brought out the evidence that she was full of 'private' pockets in the past. There are indeed five ginseng, but she took them out and sold them before the second concubine 'handed over' the power of housekeeping. Because the second concubine often does things like this and needs her cooperation, she will open her eyes and close her eyes to these petty thieves. But didn't expect the second concubine to write it down. Now he took it out and threatened her.

If the housekeeper is the eldest and youngest 'milk' and 'milk', Mama Jiang would not dare to frame the eldest and youngest' 'milk' and 'milk' despite fighting with the second concubine. But now the housekeeper is the weak third room, which is different. Maybe it's as the second concubine said, if the third master's 'milk' and "milk" are rectified, the second concubine can take over the inner house, which is also a good thing for her!

Thinking of this, Mama Jiang kowtowed to Qin Tian, ​​who was in the front seat, and said, "If you go back to the eldest young master's milk, there are two books in this warehouse, one is for the third master's milk. 'The one in hand. The old slave kept the book for easy accounting. Speaking of which, the old slave's ledger is older, and the records on it are more detailed. You can read it. There is no sign of any changes in the old slave's ledger. When the old slave reconciled with San Shao's 'milk', there were indeed five ginseng, but San Shao's 'milk' and 'milk' did not record it later. When the account arrives, the old slave will not know!"

These remarks were equivalent to convicting Fang Yanxing. Fang Yanxing felt dizzy. She tightened her brother's clothes and pointed at Jiang's mother with all her strength and shouted, "You are talking nonsense!" Staggering, almost fainted. After she stood up with the support of Fang Jianshu, she knelt down towards Qin Tian and cried, "Young master's 'milk' 'milk', what Mama Jiang said was not true, it really didn't exist when I took over. ***Sam, they are framing me!"

"Now there are witnesses and physical evidence! Does the third young master's 'milk' and 'milk' have to go to court to tell the truth?" said the third concubine's 'yin' and 'yin'.

Fang Yanxing's face turned pale with anger. She changed her usual weakness and rushed to Mama Jiang's side, clutching her dress and crying, "Mother Jiang, do you dare to swear to God? Do you dare to swear to God?"

"Third Young Master's 'milk' 'milk', why are you doing this, I'm just a slave, I only tell the truth, Sanshao 'milk' 'milk', don't make it difficult for the slave!" Jiang's mother also cried and cried.

"Do you think one cry, two troubles, three hangs can solve the problem? Mrs. Fang, it was just a coincidence that I caught your fault today. I don't know how much you stole from the dealer!" The third concubine added fuel to the fire: "Young master's milk'' Milk', do you want to continue to use this kind of person as a housekeeper?"

"Young master 'milk' 'milk', you know my sister, my sister is not such a person, please give my sister justice!"

"Yan Xing, we won't be the boss anymore, Yan Xing, just listen to your mother!" The third concubine was crying.

There was crying and making noise in the hall, and there was a 'chaos'.

Zhuang Mingxi sat on the side and quietly looked at Qin Tian, ​​who was calm and undisturbed in the upright position. On weekdays, such Qin Tian hated her the most, as if everything was under control, as if nothing could stumped her! Let her have a jealousy in her heart, why is she so confident? She's just a lowly slave!

But now, Qin Tian like this made her feel

Why can she live so freely as a slave, and why can she live so uselessly as a master...

No matter what aspect, she is inferior to herself, why is she sitting on the top now, but she can only be the bottom?

She looked at Qin Tian, ​​her eyes flickering constantly.

In front of her, Qin Tian didn't know that she was becoming the object of contemplation by others, and solving the current problems was the most important thing for her now.

She suddenly stood up and stepped down from her seat.

Because of her move, everyone fell silent and looked straight at her.

Qin Tian walked all the way to Fang Yanxing's side and stopped, she bent down to help Fang Yanxing up, and said warmly, "My sister is also the master of the Zhuang family, so don't kneel down! In Zhuang's family, the only person who needs to kneel is the wife. !"

Fang Yanxing had already cried to tears, she stood up slowly with Qin Tian's support, "Qin Tian, ​​I don't, I really don't..." Fang Yanxing grabbed Qin Tian's wrist, tears kept coming Falling.

Qin Tian clapped her hand: "Sister, don't worry, you didn't do it, and no one can frame you!"

Hearing these words, Fang Yanxing was relieved, and then she stopped crying.

The second concubine next to her sneered.

Qin Tian ignored her, went straight to Mother Jiang, and asked in a cold voice, "Mother Jiang, I'll ask you one last time, is what you just said true?"

Mother Jiang, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at the corners of Qin Tianbai's quivering skirt in front of her, but felt an invisible pressure that made her unable to lift her head, and sweat immediately oozes from her back.

She gritted her teeth: "Every word the slave said is true!"

Qin Tian chuckled, "That's strange, why are there no records of these five ginseng in my account book?"

Mother Jiang was startled, and raised her head with a "ho", only to see Qin Tian looking at her with a smile on the corner of her mouth, but her eyes were extremely cold.

Qin Tian continued to laugh: "I forgot to tell you, there are more than two accounts in this warehouse, I have one more. After I took over the inner house, I made a detailed inventory of all the affairs of the inner house with Yueniang Cuiwei and the others. I just didn't let you know!"

"Young Master... Young Master's 'milk' 'milk'..." Mama Jiang was so panicked that she couldn't speak!

Qin Tian suddenly sank his face and said sternly: "You think I was busy and didn't ask you to reconcile, so what you did can be hidden from the sky? You don't even think about it, would I be so careless?" After speaking, Qin Tian turned Turning his head, his eyes were like knives, 'shooting' at the second concubine.

The second concubine turned pale.

Fang Yanxing and Fang Jianshu's eyes lit up!

"Mother Jiang, after I took over, the five ginseng ginseng disappeared. Do you also doubt that these five ginseng ginseng have been filled with 'private' bags by me?" Qin Tian's voice was full of majesty. .

Mother Jiang's face was as white as paper, and she kept kowtowing: "The eldest son's pardon, the eldest son's pardon!" Qin Tian made it clear that her ledger was with the eldest wife's side. Yueniang and Cuiwei were right together, isn't the suspicion of Qin Tian the same as suspicion of the eldest wife? Who has the guts!

The second concubine lowered her head in despair, she knew that this time, she lost again...

Did she underestimate this bitch too much? The second aunt clenched her fists.

"However, the account book in Mother Jiang's hand does have records of five ginseng members. I looked at it very carefully. As Mother Jiang said, there are no traces of changes! What's going on? Could it be that this is the case? The five ginseng originally existed? But then they disappeared for no reason?" Qin Tian looked at Mother Jiang, "Mother Jiang, if you tell the truth, I may forgive your sins."

Jiang's mother was sweating profusely. She secretly glanced at the second concubine, but she gave her a sharp look. Jiang's mother was stunned. Even if she confessed to the second concubine, she would not be able to please her. How could the second concubine have the support of her mother's family, and at most she would only be punished. But if her 'private' bag has been exposed for a long time, will she really be forgiven? If you send it to the government, it will be a dead end!

Thinking of this, Mother Jiang had no choice but to grit her teeth: "Old slave... I don't know!"

Qin Tian knew that there must be something tricky between Jiang's mother and the second concubine, but Jiang's mother refused to tell, naturally the consequences were serious. If the punishment is imposed, it may be possible to 'force' to ask something.

But why do things so decisively, the warehouse manager is a lack of 'fat', and people in this position will be somewhat unclean. After all, she is just a slave, and many times she can't help herself. However, this kind of slave is bound to no longer stay in the banker.

Thinking of this, Qin Tian made a decision, because Zhuang's mother framed her master and beat her twenty big boards according to the family law. She should have sold it. hard work.

Then Qin Tian ordered: "From today onwards, regardless of whether the stewards have the ledger or not, everything will be done according to the ledger in the master's hand. Whoever dares to take out the ledger and cause trouble again will be held accountable!"

The people below were silent, and the master's 'milk' and 'milk' mastered all the affairs of the banker without a sound. Who would dare to have the slightest 'flower' skill from now on?

The second concubine also knew that after this incident, the servants in the mansion would never obey her orders again!

It was so...

Watching Qin Tian deal with Jiang's mother resolutely, her power was comparable to that of the eldest wife in the heyday. Zhuang Mingxi suddenly woke up

is the right! Whether it's the eldest wife or Qin Tian, ​​just because they have power in their hands, no matter what their background, they can live happily and control everything! And although he is a master, but because he has no power in his hands, everything is controlled by others!

They are all 'women' as well. Why can't they do what they can do?

Both the eldest wife and Qin Tian are just the 'wife' of the banker, but they can both become the rulers of the banker and be the masters of the house. Why does her Zhuang family have to live so uselessly at the mercy of others?

In terms of intelligence, she is not inferior to them. They can be the boss, and so can she! As long as she becomes the head of the family, what does it matter who she marries? She has what she wants, inexhaustible glory and wealth, inexhaustible honor and romance! She can do whatever she likes, and who can manipulate her?

Zhuang Mingxi looked at Qin Tian, ​​his eyes sparkling.

She clenched her fist slowly,

From today onwards, she will no longer be so stupid, specializing in making wedding dresses for others! From today onwards, she will make plans for herself!

No matter who it is, Qin Tian, ​​aunt, mother, brother, whoever dares to stand in front of her, she will not let it go!

They don't take her to heart, and she won't treat them as family anymore!
