Noble Lady Jing Zhao

Chapter 47 No ranking
Xue's current fire energy can be said to be an old ailment that has been accumulated for many years.

Today, if my mother-in-law hadn't asked Mrs. Mu for her niece's betrothal gift, I wouldn't be able to get married.

She won't let it out all at once.

This suddenly touched Xue's old illness.

Thinking of the 20 taels of silver that her natal family gave her, this was the key to her being able to successfully marry into the Bofu as the daughter of a merchant.

It is also because she has nothing to do in these years, but she can still run rampant in the uncle's mansion with confidence.

Even so, the mother-in-law didn't dare to send someone off to the fourth room, and even the fourth master didn't dare to speak loudly in front of her.

But even so, Mr. Xue still felt sorry for her dowry.

Over the years, she decided that this was what the uncle's house owed her.

As everyone knows, if it weren't for the 20 taels of silver, how could she marry into the uncle's house.

This is just a deal between the Xue family and the uncle's house.

The old lady was so angry that her body stiffened, and she felt like there was a mouthful of old phlegm in her chest.

She slapped her chest heavily with her hands, trying to smooth out the blockage on her chest.

His face was blue and purple, and he looked terrible.

"Go and fetch the doctor quickly." Grandma Yuan urged the maid to go find the doctor while patting the old lady on the back.

"Old lady, you are getting old, don't get angry."

She has been waiting for the old lady since she was in the boudoir. Over the years, she and the old lady have become more like relatives.

"Ha." Mr. Xue sneered.

When fourth master saw his mother like this, he also annoyed Mrs. Xue.

But being suppressed by Xue Shi all the year round, it made him unable to harden himself in front of Xue Shi.

I can only get angry with my subordinates, "Aren't you all blind and deaf, why don't you invite the fourth lady down!"

The mother-in-law and maidservants were startled and hurriedly responded. They rushed forward like a swarm of swarms and invited Mr. Xue out.

The Fourth Master apologized to everyone before leaving.

Only then did the old lady regain her composure, and she did not forget to remind Mrs. Zhao again, "This betrothal gift will be left in front of my grandmother. After all, her father was also raised in front of me. Is it possible that I can still be greedy?" go?"

When these words fell into the ears of Mr. Zhao and Mr. Xie, they felt it was funny.

How can a thief tell others that he is a thief?
But the act of being a thief is not hidden at all.

Mrs. Liang couldn't care less about her face. She had never felt anything wrong with her mother-in-law before.

Xue's making such a fuss today, on the contrary, let her see a little-known side of her mother-in-law.

The girls behind the screen had already held their breath and dared not speak out.

Ye Jingzhao was extremely calm.

I'm not surprised that my grandmother is like this.

Mrs. Liang was about to persuade her, but the mother-in-law brought the doctor.

"Old madam, the doctor is here, let's take a look first."

"Ah."

Grandma Yuan stood up, helped the old lady and went to the side room for consultation.

Everyone had to wait.

Unexpectedly, after seeing the doctor, the old lady returned to her yard through the small door at the back.

Ask Aunt Yuan to send a message and tell Mrs. Zhao that Ye Jingzhao's betrothal gift will be carried directly to the old lady's yard when it arrives.

Mrs. Zhao couldn't laugh, her face was stiff.

This is the first time I have seen such a shameless person.

Mrs. Liang glared at Mr. Zhao, apologized to Mrs. Zhao, but didn't have the face to stay any longer.

He took Ye Jingmiao and went back.

When Mrs. Jiang saw her sister-in-law leaving, she got up and left the front hall with Ye Jingyun.

Ding said goodbye and took Brother Hao back.

Only Sanfang, his family and the Zhao family were left in the front hall.

Ye Jingzhao came out, and when Zhao saw it, the smile in his eyes deepened.

"You don't have to worry. At that time, I will send Zong'er to come over to deliver the dowry gift."

Mrs. Zhao took Ms. Xie's hand and said.

Her son came to visit, even though the old lady was an elder.

I'm afraid it won't be cheap at all.

"I send you."

Mrs. Xie nodded and wanted to personally send Mrs. Zhao out of the mansion.

Ye Jingzhao accompanied his mother to see Mrs. Zhao off.

After sending Mrs. Zhao away, the mother and daughter returned to Zhiting Garden. Seeing the third master in the room, Mr. Xie screened everyone out of the room and ordered Mrs. Wang to close the door.

Then he took his daughter to sit down and talked to the master about today's events.

"Master, could it be that the mother-in-law really took the dowry of the fourth sibling?"

There was no news in the house about Xue's dowry.

Even Mr. Xue himself has never mentioned this matter in these years.

"I'm afraid it's true."

"My mother-in-law has no use for the money, and I'm afraid my eldest brother has never taken it. So what does the old lady do with the money?"

Mr. Xie couldn't help but be puzzled by the old lady's operation.

Liang's family was born in Prince Liang's mansion, so it goes without saying that she will be married as a dowry.

Jiang was also from a distinguished family.

Why did the old lady choose Xue's dowry?

She got married to the third master in a hurry, but the Xue family and the uncle's house had already made an appointment and set a date for the wedding.

The third master doesn’t know much either.

"Why did the two families get married back then, does father still remember?"

Ye Jingzhao suddenly spoke up.

The couple looked at their daughter together.

The third master became thoughtful and murmured, "That year I took part in the imperial examination. Two days after leaving the examination room, I heard that my mother had arranged for the fourth brother to come to the Xue family, a merchant."

Ye Jingzhao thought about his father's words, was startled suddenly, and couldn't help asking. "My father took the imperial examination in the same year as my second uncle?"

I remembered that there was not much age difference between my father and my second uncle.

See father nodding.

Ye Jingzhao thought of his fifth aunt Ding's advice again.

"Father didn't win back then, what about the second uncle?"

"Your second uncle did surprisingly well in the exam back then, and he got No.1. The master praised your second uncle as a dark horse, but he was wrong before."

Ye Jingzhao thought of the many resentments that the second room had towards the third room.

Suspicion arose in my heart.

"Five aunts told me earlier, can parents send people to find out what?"

Mrs. Xie said, "I only got some sporadic news, but it's about your fourth uncle..."

Ye Jingzhao looked at it, puzzled.

Xie Shi didn't know how to speak.

After inquiring, they found out that it was the fourth younger brother who couldn't do it, which made the fourth younger brother and sister unable to conceive all these years.

Together with the master, she negotiated that Mrs. Xue could come in, maybe the mother-in-law would also know the reason for the fourth brother.

Seeing his parents in trouble, Ye Jingzhao guessed it.

I think the problem of Fourth Fang having no heirs lies with Fourth Uncle.

"The fourth uncle and the fourth aunt have no children. How does the mother know that it is the fourth uncle's problem?"

Ye Jingzhao's expression was calm, which actually made Mr. Xie a little embarrassed.

"It is said that your fourth aunt invited a doctor to look at your fourth uncle..."

"Father, mother, I'm afraid you are going in the wrong direction." Ye Jingzhao expressed his conjecture.

Fifth Aunt's exhortations were not for the heirs.

Today, for the first time, Mr. Xue had such a big dispute with her grandmother.

"Father, there was a ranking back then, but you didn't ask about it? Why didn't you even get a ranking?"

My father's talent and learning were praised by his mother, even if he contracted a serious illness before the scientific examination, he shouldn't even have a ranking.

The third master frowned tightly, thinking about what happened today.

Why didn't he check it out at first?

But the superior only said that his name was not available, so he begged to go to his mother.

The mother came forward, but the result of the final inquiry was that his name was also missing.

Only then did he give up.

My mind has been in decline all day long, and my temples have turned white after a night of vicissitudes of life.

If it hadn't been for saving Mr. Xie that time.

I'm afraid he has already become so decadent that he doesn't know what to look like.

"I'm afraid the master's ranking was tampered with back then?"

After talking to this point, Xie couldn't help but make a bold guess.
