my wife is wonderful

Chapter 10 Big Melon ([-])

"Can you hear me here?"

Geng Xingchen put his ear close to the courtyard wall and listened carefully. He didn't know if the people inside didn't speak, or the voice was too low. Anyway, she didn't hear anything.

"You can't hear it, and neither can I. Well, Bai Zhi probably can't hear it either."

"Fifth sister, you didn't even try?"

Geng Xingchen was a little aggrieved, "I can't hear you, what are we doing here?"

After getting the news from Pomegranate that Geng Xingbing had indeed entered the main house, they walked around to a crape myrtle tree on the west side of the main courtyard, which was the place closest to the rear window of the main house.

Of course, this was what Geng Xingshuang said. Geng Xingchen had never eavesdropped before.

Thinking of this, Geng Xingchen looked at Geng Xingshuang in surprise, Fifth Sister knew this, could it be...

Geng Xingchen's thoughts were almost written on his face, how could Geng Xingshuang not understand.

"My hearing is not much better than yours, I can't hear, but someone can hear."

"Could it be a painted curtain? Hey, where is the painted curtain?"

It was only then that Geng Xingchen realized that the painting curtain that had been following Geng Xingshuang had disappeared.

"Girl, the painting curtain just left."

When leaving the gate of the main courtyard, Bai Zhi saw the fifth girl winking at Hualian, and Hualian left quickly, but her own girl didn't say anything, so naturally she didn't dare to ask.

Unexpectedly, her own girl was completely unaware of Hualian's departure.

Bai Zhi thought that the third wife had always wanted to marry the sixth girl into the Yongqinghou Mansion, and she felt heavy in her heart. If the Sixth Girl had such a straightforward and simple temperament, if she entered a high-end and deep house like the Yongqinghou Mansion, everyone in that group would wish to marry her. Living among the mother-in-law, sister-in-law, elder sister-in-law and sister-in-law with a hundred eyes, Bai Zhi couldn't imagine how her girl would be bullied.

"coming!"

Jin Bao suddenly made a sound, and Bai Zhi came back to her senses. She subconsciously looked at Geng Xingshuang, but she didn't expect that Geng Xingshuang also happened to look at her, with deep meaning in her eyes.

Bai Zhi was slightly startled, and felt that the fifth girl seemed to see through her inner thoughts in this short moment.

"Is it Jinbao?"

Geng Xingchen reacted very quickly this time, she knew that Jin Bao was very strong, could it be that her ears were also particularly good.

"Jin Bao, hurry up, listen to what's in it?"

Geng Xingshuang waved at Jin Bao. Although Jin Bao looked chubby, he was quick in his movements. She ran under the crape myrtle tree with a swipe. She didn't have to stick her ears to the courtyard wall like Geng Xingchen did, and she heard the voice in the main room. coming voice.

"Grandmother, my granddaughter has been thinking about it all morning. I really... really can't watch Shen Shui fall to such a state, so... so... can you let Shen Shui come back?"

Jin Bao repeated the words from the main room verbatim, and it was Geng Xingbing who was speaking.

"Third girl, have you told your mother about this?"

Jin Bao lowered his voice, his voice became old and deep, it was Xia Shi who was speaking.

"Grandmother, this is my personal savings. I heard that Shen Shui's worth is 50 taels. These should be enough."

"Third sister is really rich."

Geng Xingchen muttered something in a low voice, and she suddenly had a premonition that there was a high probability that the unmarried lady in the mansion was the poorest one.

People say they are poor, but they are not necessarily poor. She is really poor if she doesn't talk about being poor.

"Jin Bao, can't you hear me?"

Seeing that Jin Bao didn't speak for a while, Geng Xingchen was puzzled.

Jin Bao shook his head, "No one talks now."

After a silence of about ten breaths, Jin Bao began to repeat again.

"Miss San, don't you know what Madam is raising money for? You have this money, why didn't you take it out earlier?"

This was Mama Qiao's questioning. As a servant, Mama Qiao's actions were naturally against the rules, but if Madam Uncle's acquiescence or even hinted at her, she would be solving problems for the master.

Geng Xingbing knew that if he took out 50 taels of silver, he would definitely be suspected and questioned.

But her mind was too messed up. Mother Tan's words split her head like a thunderbolt. At that moment, her world collapsed. She almost thought that there was something wrong with her ears, or that her brain was really broken. Seeing Mother Tan's mouth opening and closing in front of him, her expression was anxious and... stern.

She is completely different from the mother Tan who loved her so much before.

But she still listened to Tan's mother's words, and her chaotic mind gradually calmed down.

She didn't know if what Tan's mother said was true, but she dared not take the risk.

Therefore, she must save Shenshui, she must first stabilize Mama Tan, as for the future, as long as she is given time, it can always be resolved.

"How did the third sister answer?"

Seeing that Jin Bao hadn't moved for a while, Geng Xingchen couldn't help asking.

Jin Bao: "Woooooh..."

Geng Xingchen was puzzled, and looked at Geng Xingshuang with a guilty conscience. Could it be that Jin Bao didn't hear the words clearly just now, and she was shocked by her question and cried?

Geng Xingshuang laughed, "It should be the third sister who cried."

Jin Bao nodded, "It's Miss San who cried, but she's talking now."

"What did you say?" Geng Xingshuang's eyes sparkled, she was so curious, did Geng Xingbing take some wrong medicine today, and even used the crying trick, didn't she always look down on this kind of petty behavior?

Geng Xingchen felt that the light in Fifth Sister's eyes was like... like the sun in summer, and she couldn't help but want to back away from the scorching heat.

"Wuwuwu...I know...grandmother is going one step further for father, and father...is for us children. I know that grandma and granddaughter are not the kind of people who don't know the importance and don't know how to be grateful, but... But grandma, Shen Shui is... is... father's daughter, granddaughter's sister, your own granddaughter... As for the 50 taels of silver, it is pocket money given by grandma every time I go to grandparent's house. I am not rich, so I have not been willing to spend it. It is also for emergency use. I was going to take it out this time, but later I realized that my little money is not enough. Grandma and mother also thought of a way, so I temporarily put it aside. "

Jin Bao recounted Geng Xingbing's words in the main room almost word for word. Whether it was Xia's family and Qiao's mother in the room, or Geng Xingshuang, Geng Xingchen, Bai Zhi and others outside the room, they were all stunned by Geng Xingbing's words.

"What did the third sister say?"

"What did you say?"

The voices of Geng Xingchen and Jin Bao sounded almost simultaneously.

Of course, Jin Bao was repeating what Mrs. Uncle Xia said.

Geng Xingshuang already had a premonition that Geng Xingbing might say something that she didn't know but was very interested in today, but he didn't expect this melon to be so big.

She waved her hand to signal Geng Xingchen to keep quiet and continue listening.

"I said the silver was..."

"Who asked you about money? Shen Shui is the second child, who told you about this?"

Geng Xingbing couldn't tell from Xia's face whether she knew about it, so she had to follow what Tan's mother taught her: "Yes... Yan's mother said that when the family bought someone, Yan's mother knew about it. Shen Shui is father's child, so even though Shen Shui was only two years old at that time, she bought her."

"Yanshi? How did she know? Who gave birth to the sinking water? When did she tell you about it?"

The Xia family asked one question after another. Geng Xingbing seemed to be confused by these questions, and he answered after a while: "The granddaughter doesn't know how Yan's mother knew about this matter, and who is the mother of the sinking water? The granddaughter doesn't know either. It wasn't Yan." What my mother took the initiative to tell me was a previous chat between Yan's mother and Liu Dazhu's family. The granddaughter happened to pass by and overheard it.

Grandmother... When my granddaughter knew that Shen Shui was going to be taken away by Mrs. Yu, I didn't dare to say it. It was indeed selfish. I was afraid that my father would know that he was biased, and that my mother would be sad, so I held back my hesitation and dared not say it, but ... But this morning, the granddaughter was really upset and couldn't bear it, so... that's why... I also asked the grandmother to put her body first and not be too angry. If the grandmother is really angry, then... just hit the granddaughter! "

Although Geng Xingshuang, Geng Xingchen and others couldn't see the situation in the room, they could also imagine the scene inside at this moment: Geng Xingbing had tears in his eyes, knelt and stretched out his hands, expressing that he could be punished. Tieqing, Qiao's mother, Luwu and other servants were silent.
