Chapter 98

"Nurse Yuan, go and ask someone to call Mrs. Xue to see her father and brother. There has been such a big commotion today, how come Mrs. Xue hasn't come yet."

The old lady's tone was full of dissatisfaction with Mrs. Xue.

"Yes, the old slave will order someone to call the fourth lady."

Nanny Yuan responded, turned her head and pointed to a maidservant who was always smart and alert, and went to the fourth room to call the fourth wife, Mrs. Xue.

The third wife, Mrs. Xie, has brought her daughter to the old lady.

After saluting, he retreated to his sister-in-law Liang's side.

The old lady rolled her eyes and glanced at the fourth girl who was dressed as a maid behind Mrs. Xie.

He frowned slightly.

Not much to say.

"Sister-in-law."

"Auntie."

The third wife, Mrs. Xie, and her daughter softly called the eldest lady, Mrs. Liang.

The eldest lady Liang nodded slightly, and then she turned to the third sibling Xie and said, "Third sibling, why did you bring fourth girl here too, it's not very peaceful here today."

"Sister-in-law, if nothing happens, it can be regarded as giving her a lot of experience. She will always go out in the future, and her parents can't always protect her from the wind and rain."

The third wife, Mrs. Xie, spoke solemnly.

The eldest lady Liang didn't ask any more questions, she just signaled to the nurse next to her to take care of the fourth girl.

Mr. Xue stood aside with his arms folded.

This old lady of the uncle's house is really thick-skinned.

Today I made such a big fuss and came to my door.

The old lady actually looked as usual, calm and relaxed.

After half a moment, the servant girl who had just gone to the fourth room came back, bowed her body and saluted.

He replied, "Back to the old lady, the servants in the fourth room said that the fourth lady went out early this morning and hasn't come back yet."

"Heh. Then may I ask, where is the servant of my Xue family who married our daughter back then? I also asked the old lady to invite him along."

Seeing how shameless the people in the uncle's mansion are, Mr. Xue himself is willing to bow down.

Those who are in business have never seen such a person.

The old lady glanced over coldly, her eyes filled with displeasure.

"My in-laws, since you have made up your mind to come and make trouble today, no matter what we say or do in our uncle's house, my in-laws will justify it."

"Then it's better for my in-laws to tell me directly what I want to do today."

"It also saves us from wasting time here, and delaying each other's efforts for nothing."

The old lady's tone was also a bit colder.

Mr. Xue was a little annoyed by what the old lady said.

It was obviously the uncle who was shameless, but he, the victim, came to ask for an explanation.

On the contrary, the old lady said that she came to make trouble for nothing.

Mr. Xue threw out the receipts and prescriptions of the two imperial physicians for his daughter.

He said angrily, "Madam, this is the receipt and prescription that my Xue family invited two famous imperial physicians in the palace to see my daughter."

"If the old lady still insists on pretending to be confused, then I don't mind sending the steward of my daughter's village to the uncle's residence."

"Furthermore, no one in the uncle's house now knows that it is the old lady who said that my daughter is crazy."

After the fourth lady Xue woke up, she could not easily swallow the resentment she suffered in the uncle's house.

He told his father and brother why the old lady wanted to kill her.

It's just because the daughter asked the second wife for the dowry of the year.

And the dowry should be given to the second master to take care of the fraud in the imperial examination.

Everyone in the Xue family was shocked.

This matter must not be rushed to the government.

Now the daughter is still the daughter-in-law of the uncle's house.

This is a capital crime to punish the Nine Clans.

The fourth lady, Mrs. Xue, also asked her father and brother to secretly tie up some of the stewards she was imprisoned in at the village outside the city, as well as the women who beat and scolded her all day long.

Master Xue and his son together.

He simply went to tie up people last night.

The purpose is to catch Cheng Enbo's mansion by surprise.

"The old lady doesn't need to sing with me here. Now that I'm here, the old lady doesn't want me to talk about the unspeakable things in the uncle's house."

"If the old lady pushes me into a hurry, I don't know if the old lady would dare to bet the whole uncle's house with me if I do something."

See Mr. Xue's meaningful tone.

The old lady understood that the Xue family knew about the fraudulent replacement of the second and third child's imperial examinations.

Gritting his teeth tightly, his eyes showed a hint of resentment.

"In-law, what exactly do you want to do, why not say it clearly, so as not to ask me to guess what my in-law is thinking."

"Old lady, my daughter's dowry, please return it to my daughter's name."

"Furthermore, the fourth master will marry into my Xue family."

The old lady sneered and looked at Mrs.

"If the old lady refuses, then my granddaughter Miaoyue will marry into the uncle's mansion as the eldest grandson-in-law."

Mr. Xue already had a plan in mind.

He knew clearly that the uncle's house would definitely not ask the Fourth Master to marry him, but he mentioned it first.

When the old lady refused, he proposed his granddaughter to marry into the uncle's house.

To balance the two, the old lady naturally had to give up one.

If the fourth master is abandoned, the uncle's house in Kyoto will really not be able to hold his head high.

But if you leave your eldest grandson and go to the uncle's house, it won't be that important.

Mrs. Liang frowned tightly, with dissatisfaction on her face.

The old lady looked relaxed.

It seems that they are really going to agree to the Xue family's request.

Immediately, he yelled loudly, "What kind of family is the Xue family, how dare you miss my son."

"Grandpa Xue should stop thinking about it as soon as possible. My son has already made an engagement with Miss Qian's family."

The old lady suddenly turned her head to look at her eldest daughter-in-law.

She didn't know about it.

His eyes were full of inquiries.

The eldest lady Liang blessed her mother-in-law, smiled slightly, and showed an apologetic expression on her face.

"Mother-in-law, I found my three younger siblings to be matchmakers. Now it's decided, but I haven't gotten around to telling my mother-in-law yet."

"Why didn't you tell me about this in advance?" The old lady scolded the eldest daughter-in-law with dissatisfaction.

There was no sign of retreat on Liang's face.

He just said, "My daughter-in-law thought that her mother-in-law was old and how could she still worry about her grandchildren's marriage, so she didn't disturb her mother-in-law, and my uncle also agreed to this matter."

Liang smiled and said, "Furthermore, my royal father is also very satisfied with this marriage with the Qian family."

The eldest wife, Mrs. Liang, carried out of her natal Liang Wangfu.

The old lady naturally couldn't say anything more.

But if Mr. Xue couldn't get the corresponding compensation today, how could he leave easily.

"Old madam, you can make your own decision. Anyway, I will leave the words here today. If you don't agree..."

Mr. Xue didn't say any more.

But the threat in his eyes was extremely strong.

The old lady's heart sank and she thought about it.

I just hate that I shouldn't have looked forward and backward at that time, as long as Mrs. Xue died in the uncle's house.

No matter how the Xue family makes trouble in the future.

How can it be?

Where is the present difficulty?

It's just that at the moment, someone is holding her back and glaring at the eldest daughter-in-law.

The tone was heavy, not like a discussion, but a final decision.

"Wait for brother Zhong's wife to pass through the door, and take a girl from the Xue family to be a noble concubine."

The old lady paused, then looked back at Mr. Xue, "In-laws, this is the biggest result I can compromise, if the in-laws still refuse."

"Then ask your in-laws to weigh it carefully, whether you really want to hit a rock with an egg."

The old lady's eyes were full of warnings.
