Chapter 69 Humiliation
The flower hall was quiet, only the slight breathing of the people could be heard.

Grandma Cao opened and closed her mouth, unable to utter a word for a long time.

She didn't know what she could say, Madam gave her money, if she recognized that this box of stones was given by Madam, when she returned to the mansion, Madam would definitely prevent her from seeing the sun tomorrow.

Her family doesn't want to stay any longer in the mansion.

But if she said that what the wife gave was silver, she couldn't explain how the silver turned into stone.

Even if she wanted to blame Xiao Jinyue and the others for the bag drop, it would not work, because the maidservant held the silver box from the beginning to the end, and never left it, so there was no chance for others to drop the bag.

Xiao Jinyue and the others have never even touched them.

It's all the fault of Miss Xiao Er's meddling, if she hadn't insisted on counting the money face to face, where would such a thing happen!
If she took the brocade box at the beginning and found out later that it contained silver, then it has nothing to do with her.

After all, the box passed her hands, so she could say that she secretly stole the money by herself, but used a box of stones to frame her as giving stones.

However, no one in Xiao's residence has ever touched this box, and she couldn't blame them if she wanted to, it's really hateful.

Cao Mama's eyes rolled wildly, and her face changed from time to time. Xiao Jinyue knew what she was thinking without having to guess.

Xiao Jinyue sneered, "Why didn't Madam Cao say anything? Could it be that I really guessed it this time? Your wife gave me a real stone? What does your wife mean? Did you think we came from the border and didn't know the money from the capital? Just trying to fool us with a box of rocks?"

Cao Mama was questioned repeatedly, and she was so angry and angry that she had to say, "No, the second girl misunderstood, our wife really gave 200 taels of silver."

Xiao Jinyue sneered, "Is it silver? The people in this flower hall are not blind. Your wife humiliated us with a box of stones, it's really deceiving! In my opinion, this marriage doesn't matter. You go back and tell your wife , let her come to the door as soon as possible to discuss the dissolution of the engagement."

Xiao Jinyue picked up the teacup, "Madam Cao, take your stone back home."

Mammy Cao looked surprised, she knew how much this second girl liked the young master of their family, she heard that she would often find opportunities to run into him when the young master was out, and she obeyed the young master's words even more.

But this meeting said that the engagement would be terminated. Is this true or a temptation?

Xiao Jinyue met Cao Mama's suspicious eyes, just pretended not to know, and let her look at her.

Seeing her indifferent attitude, Cao Mama didn't seem to be tempting, she didn't know what to do for a while.

She did know that Madam has always been dissatisfied with this marriage, thinking that the second girl is not worthy of their young master.So I have been trying to figure out a way to break off the engagement.Last time she overheard that Madam even hired local ruffians to go to Cuiyan Villa in order to secretly get rid of the second girl.

Unexpectedly, those two people were unlucky. They encountered thunder on the mountain and were struck to death.

She also eavesdropped that the eldest girl also attacked the second girl Xiao on the mountain, but unfortunately, she hid her.

Now hearing that Miss Xiao's father was demoted by the emperor, Madam is even more dissatisfied with this marriage, and wants to find someone to come to the door to divorce the engagement, but the young master disagrees.

Madam didn't want to get into trouble with the young master because of such a marriage, so she had to press down on the divorce for the time being.

Unexpectedly, the second girl was startled yesterday, although she was rescued by the prince of Zhen Guo, but at that time, the prince of Zhen Guo hugged the second girl in his arms, and many people on the street saw it.

After hearing the rumors, the madam was so angry that she cursed at the mansion, and once again proposed to dissolve the engagement.Unexpectedly, after hearing those rumors, the young master was silent for a long time, but still did not agree to divorce.

In desperation, Madam asked her to come to the door with money, and humiliated them under the pretense of asking Madam Xue to ask the nuns for advice.

The madam wanted the woman to propose the dissolution of the engagement, and then said that they had climbed the high branch of the Zhen Guogong's mansion and looked down on their household member Wailang's mansion, so they wanted to divorce.

In that way, the Eldest Young Master thought that Second Miss Xiao had taken a fancy to the son of Lord Zhen Guo, and he couldn't grab it, so he had no choice but to agree to withdraw the engagement.

And their family doesn't need to bear any bad reputation, the eldest young master can get married in the future and marry a noble daughter who will help his future.

On the other hand, there is no need to be afraid of offending the Duke of Zhen's mansion. After all, it is just gossip. With the identity of Miss Xiao Er, it is impossible for her to marry into the Duke of Zhen's mansion.

At that time, the second girl Xiao will only have a chicken-and-egg fight.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xue didn't propose to terminate the engagement, but Miss Xiao Er proposed it on her own initiative. Judging from her cold expression, she seemed to be serious.

If the engagement can be dissolved, the madam must be happy, but thinking of the young master, she sighed again.

Madam might not be able to get the young master to nod in agreement, but her trip today was not in vain.

But thinking of the missing money, her anger rose again.

Forget it, it's not her business to worry about whether this engagement can be dissolved, she should think about how to get back the missing money.

Xiao Jinyue saw that Grandma Cao was still sitting still for a long time, and said coldly, "Why, Grandma is going to stay for dinner?"

Seeing Xiao Jinyue chasing people away again, Mammy Cao was annoyed, but she could only smile with a bitter face, "The second girl misunderstood, what our wife gave was indeed 200 taels of silver.

As for this box of stones, I originally used it to coax my grandson to play with.Maybe it's because my girl got dizzy and accidentally confused the two boxes. "

When the maid in Tsing Yi heard her blame her, she wanted to open her mouth to distinguish, but when she met Cao Mama's fierce eyes, she could only bow her head sadly in fear.

Seeing that she didn't dare to speak, Grandma Cao glared at her again, before continuing, "Second Miss, don't worry, after I go back, I will have someone send the money back."

"No need, Mammy Cao remembers to ask your wife to come over as soon as possible to discuss the divorce after returning home. Well, save the money for your eldest girl to hire Mammy."

Xiao Jinyue served tea again, "Mother, walk slowly and don't give it away. Oh, remember to bring the stone, we are not blessed with such a special silver. Let's take it back to buy flowers for you big girls, don't say I am partial, remember After taking it back, I will also buy some pens, ink, paper and inkstone for you young masters."

Cao Mama's face turned blue and then black, black and then blue, but she couldn't say anything, so she could only let the maid take the brocade box and leave in despair.

After leaving the flower hall, the maidservant in Tsing Yi held the box and asked eagerly, "Mother Cao, what should I do with these stones, do you really want to take them back?"

Mammy Cao was originally run over by Xiao Jinyue, and felt that she had lost all face.

It was good that the maid in Tsing Yi didn't mention the box of stones, but this mention aroused the anger in her heart, and she slapped the maid with her backhand.

"Don't throw it away quickly. What are you doing with it? Can it be eaten or used?"

Thinking that the 200 taels of silver could not be retrieved, and she had to fill it with her own private money, Mammy Cao felt that it was more painful than cutting her flesh.

The maid in Tsing Yi covered her face, her eyes were tearing from the pain, she was so wronged in her heart, but when she touched her eyes that wanted to eat people, she dared not speak out.

When passing the rockery in the garden, he silently dumped all the stones in the box beside the rockery.

 I wish my book friends, in 2023-the leader will follow you, the car will let you, the banknote will stick to you, the police will protect you, and the real estate will follow you!
