This Jixiang now has a monthly salary of four taels of silver in the Zhu Mansion, and their master is generous and will reward them with some gifts from time to time.
Hearing this, the woman became even more jealous, but it was a pity that their daughter refused to see them.
Even if she deliberately wanted to spread rumors, she would only say that her daughter was cruel and now that she was rich, she didn't even care about her parents.
The old people in the Zhu Mansion also said clearly, "You sold her anyway. She belongs to the Zhu family, regardless of whether you are not normal."
After squatting like this for several times, Jixiang didn't see her, but felt very depressed, so the couple stopped looking for trouble with their daughter.
Now that she heard that the Zhu family came to see Jixiang, the woman felt that Jixiang must have caused trouble for her.
Therefore, she immediately said, "Did this damn girl get into any trouble?"
After a pause, the woman immediately clarified, "Mr. Zhu, I can tell you that if this girl commits something, you can just catch her and punish her severely. As for our family, we have nothing to do with it." If you want to cause any trouble, just go to her directly."
After hearing what the woman said, Zhu Yuewu knew that the auspiciousness was probably no longer in his home.
Zhu Yuewu originally wanted to say that Ji Xiang had not committed any crime and that she had been expelled.
But considering this woman's character, she talks about people and ghosts.
If she knew that her daughter had been liquidated and received a large sum of money, this woman might have robbed her daughter of her money and resold her for a second time.
He didn't care that the woman would resell Jixiang.
However, if Jixiang was resold, he would probably have some trouble dealing with it later.
So he thought about it and immediately said with a straight face, "Isn't she the daughter you gave birth to?"
After hearing Zhu Yuewu's words, the woman immediately waved her hands and said, "Master, please don't talk nonsense. Although this girl was born to me, I have sold her to the Zhu family, so she is a member of the Zhu family. We and that girl What does it have to do with it?"
Then the woman lowered her voice and said, "Master, what happened to that girl?"
Upon hearing the woman's words, Zhu Yuewu just whispered, "She ran away from Zhu's house secretly."
Upon hearing this, the woman was immediately surprised and said, "Why is she running away? I heard that her life in the Zhu family is quite comfortable, isn't it?"
Zhu Yuewu said coldly, "I don't know about this. I only know that we exchanged her life contract for five taels of silver. If we can't find her, then we will have to ask you for money or people." "
As soon as she heard Zhu Yuewu's words, the woman immediately jumped three feet high, "How can this make sense! How can that girl let us repay the debt she owes?"
Then the woman added, "Besides, we only got two taels of silver when we sold it to that old woman. After that, this girl never got a penny back at all. She didn't give any money, so why did she ask us if we compensated more? Zhu Master, we are really poor, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to live in Yunyong Lane, and that girl’s matter has nothing to do with us, you can’t find us even if you want to!”
When Zhu Yuewu heard that the woman started to shirk responsibility, he couldn't help but whisper, "I don't care about your grudges! Anyway, I just want people, or you can give me money."
While speaking, Zhu Yuewu's eyes only fell on the seat beside him.
The seat is an old piece of furniture, but the old carved sandalwood chair may still fetch a high price in the market.
Of course, Zhu Yuewu didn't actually care about such a small amount of money. He just wanted the woman to make a choice.
Sure enough, the woman immediately became nervous when she saw Zhu Yuewu looking at the set of sandalwood chairs, "Mr. Zhu, this set is an old thing left by the child's father's grandfather. We can't sell it. "
Hearing this, Zhu Yuewu just turned his eyes to the woman and said, "It's okay if you don't sell this. Otherwise, if you pay off your daughter's debt, you can go to our Zhu family to work."
Unexpectedly, when the woman heard that she was going to work at Zhu's house, she didn't show any embarrassment on her face. Instead, she just said with joy, "Go to Zhu's house to work, what kind of job do you want to do?"
? "
Zhu Yuewu said speechlessly, "Of course I am doing chores. I won't embarrass you. Didn't you say that you are good at washing clothes and cooking? We are in need of a clothes washer and a firewood chopper. You are just the right person to come over."
This mother-in-law only thinks about her long-term daughter-in-law becoming a mother-in-law, and now she doesn’t want to do any of these tasks.
Therefore, when she heard that Zhu Yuewu asked her to do this, she was somewhat unhappy, but when she thought of her daughter's monthly salary of four taels of silver, although she was not happy, she was still a little moved, so she only took the initiative to say: "Then how much money can I get as monthly salary?"
Zhu Yuewu didn't want to, but he sneered and said, "Your daughter took away fifty taels of property, and you still want to get your monthly salary? Do you know what you are going to do? You are not going to work, you are going to pay off your debt!"
As soon as she heard Zhu Yuewu's words, the woman immediately became dissatisfied. The work was tiring now, and there was no money at the moment. Whoever wanted to do such a stupid thing would do it, but she didn't want to do it anyway.
Especially when she thought that this girl didn't get a penny back, she felt even more resentful.
"Master Zhu, my body is not as strong as before. I can't do this at all. And since Jixiang has been sold to your family, how can she still be considered a member of my family? Wouldn't it be inappropriate for you to use me to pay off the debt? !」
"Why is it inappropriate? Aren't you a woman with the quickest hands and feet? When the time comes, I'll beat you to death and we'll just bury you." Unexpectedly, the followers around Zhu Yuewu also began to threaten the woman with words.
When the woman heard this, she naturally frowned.
When Zhu Yuewu saw the woman's look, he knew that the effect he wanted had now been achieved.
Zhu Yuewu also began to change his methods at this time. He only comforted the woman softly and said, "I know you don't want to go there either, so I won't make it difficult for you, but you have to promise me one thing!"
Hearing that Zhu Yuewu didn't have to drag her to work as a coolie in the Zhu family, what else could the woman be unhappy about? So the woman immediately said, "As long as you don't let me work as a coolie and don't let me pay back the money, what do you say?" I can discuss everything."
Zhu Yuewu saw that the effect of his intimidation had been achieved, so he stopped trying to keep her secret. He just said directly to the woman, "What I want you to do is simple. After your daughter left the Zhu family, did you have anything else?" place?"
Upon hearing Zhu Yuewu's question, the woman immediately shook her head, "Of course not."
After Zhu Yuewu heard this, he couldn't help but nodded, "That's good. I think since she has no other place to go, now that she has left the Zhu family, it is not safe. She will go home again. What I want you to do is From today on, if your daughter comes back, you must tell me as soon as possible. Of course, it would be better if you could send her directly to the Zhu family."
After hearing this, the old lady just said yes again and again.
But then she immediately thought of one important point.
"We tied up people and went to Zhu's house, but how are we going to see you."
Zhu Yuewu only said coldly, "Tell them who Second Young Master Zhu wants you to arrest. The guards at the door will understand everything when they hear this."
When Zhu Yuewu said this, the old lady naturally responded.
Zhu Yuewu then explained this and left.
On the other hand, Yue'e took the initiative to find Shen Fanghui and said, "Madam, a very suspicious person came to our yard today."
Hearing Yue'e's words, Shen Fanghui naturally immediately asked, "Who is this suspicious person?"
After hearing this, Yue'e naturally told Shen Fanghui about the conversation between Liu Ping'an and Peng Lei today.
However, after listening to the conversation between the two, Shen Fanghui was a little puzzled and said, "Their words don't sound problematic to me at all. You said that Peng Lei is suspicious, what makes him suspicious?"
Hearing Shen Fanghui's words, Yue'e was not surprised at all. After all, if you just look at the content of the conversation, then all of Peng Lei's conversations are indeed just ordinary chats no matter what angle you look at them.
However, what's unusual about this matter is that what she heard from others is that Peng Lei is actually just a lazy guy who doesn't want to do anything.
But this lazy man suddenly became diligent now, and he only showed his attentiveness to a big man of the same sex. Regarding this, no matter how you think about it, it seems a bit strange.
After all, if you have nothing to do to be attentive, you will be a thief if you are not a woman.
Considering this, Yue'e naturally expressed her worries to Shen Fanghui, "The reputation of Peng Lei is not very good. Everyone said that he is usually a lazy man. No matter how abnormal a lazy man is, he will not suddenly So attentive, right? So although there is nothing wrong with the content of his chat with Ping An, I still think there is something wrong with Peng Lei."
Hearing Yue'e's words, Shen Fanghui just whispered, "I understand. Since you think there is something wrong with Peng Lei, then I will let the young master investigate Peng Lei's background."
Hearing Shen Fanghui's trust in her, Yue'e immediately smiled and said, "Madam, it's true. I wish you could believe me."
When Shen Fanghui heard the words, she just chuckled and said, "Yue'e, what are you talking about? If I don't believe you, then who can I believe? It's just that Jixiang is gone, and you will have to work harder during this period. In addition, our The wedding is also going to be held, so I thought about it for a long time and decided to transfer some maids from the eldest master, what do you think?"
When Yue'e heard this, she naturally said, "Everything will be at Madam's discretion."
After the words fell, Yue'e then whispered, "I don't know if Jixiang and the others have arrived in Tanzhou."
Speaking of this, Yue'e sighed.
When Shen Fanghui heard Yue'e mention Jixiang, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Jixiang and Jixiang have their own destiny. I think she has probably arrived in Tanzhou now. She just wants to establish herself in Tanzhou. She also has many things. Things have to be dealt with, so she probably won’t have time to tell us that she’s safe.”
"But you don't have to worry too much about Ji Xiang. Once she settles down, I think her safety letter will be sent back."
