What happened in the front yard was reported to the back hall almost simultaneously, and the originally harmonious atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Mrs. Tan left the Lin Mansion directly with her daughter-in-law and grandson. No female relatives from the Yang family arrived today. The remaining female relatives of Tang Guangbiao, the prefect of Yangzhou, and the other four female relatives did not know how to continue to get along with Daiyu.
It is impossible for anyone to think that this in-law of the Lin family is not easy to mess with, let alone my son.
Jia Cong personally broke Yang Ruyi's two dog paws, and Yang Siqi, the head of the Yang family, was sent to the Dragon Guard.
The Tan family even directly opened up their internal conflicts in front of everyone. Seeing that the conflicts between the Zhen and Tan families had completely intensified, the Jiangnan wealthy alliance, which was originally in harmony but at odds with each other, showed signs of rupture.
"Why are you ladies silent? Didn't we have a good chat just now?"
Daiyu came back from outside the house. After listening to Grandma Li's description of the situation in the front yard, she was in a good mood.
As expected, Brother Cong understood what he meant, and now his father can try to break the situation with the help of the information given by Mrs. Tan.
She glanced around the room and said to a girl with hatred in her eyes: "Why is Fourth Miss Sun looking at me like this? Oh, I remembered it. I heard that Fourth Miss and Young Master Yang were childhood sweethearts, and they even went to the same place in their early years. We all need three letters and six engagements to sign the engagement... Oh, this is my fault. I should tell Brother Cong. I shouldn't make this matter a fuss. I should save some face for the fourth girl. !”
"Miss Lin is joking. My Qing'er only met Young Master Yang a few times when she was young. There is nothing else..." Mrs. Sun held back her daughter who wanted to retaliate, and reluctantly smiled and replied.
Daiyu covered her mouth and exclaimed: "Oh? So that's it, then I misunderstood the fourth girl. I just thought, the fourth girl is both talented and beautiful, how could she fall in love with such a prostitute... Granny Li, Lian Er What did I just tell you? While Mrs. Sun and the fourth girl are here, you might as well say it and let Mrs. Sun think about it."
Nanny Li took a step forward, gave Mrs. Sun a blessing gift, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Sun, I wish you a happy marriage!"
This voice shocked everyone in the room, especially Mrs. Sun's heart.
They came to the Lin family today with bad intentions. They not only wanted to find out the actual situation of the Lin family, but also had the intention of proving that Yang and Tan had ruined Daiyu's reputation.
Now that the news has not been heard, Yang and Tan were arrested by the Jia family again. Both parties are almost aware of this matter. Now what good news does the Jia family's second master Lian ask Nanny Li to bring? ?
It’s already great if you don’t bother them!
Sure enough, I heard Nanny Li say: "Second Master Lian heard that Miss Sun was as beautiful as a fairy and had great talents, so he asked an old slave to tell Mrs. Sun that he intended to take Miss Sun as a good concubine and choose a date. Then I will personally bring someone to the door and carry the four girls into the Rongguo Mansion!"
Taking a concubine!
He actually wants to take his own daughter as a concubine!
Mrs. Sun's eyes were filled with fear, while Miss Sun's fourth daughter, Sun Zi Qing, was so angry that her chest was heaving. She pointed at Grandma Li angrily and cursed: "What's the matter with Second Master Lian and Third Master Lian? I am the legitimate daughter of the Sun family. How could this happen?" Become someone’s concubine. You old guy went back to Jia Lian, who is he? He dares to take ideas from this girl..."
Snapped!
Before Sun Tzu Qing finished speaking, he received a slap on the face.
With lightning speed, Nanny Li slapped Sun Ziqing on the left side of his face. The loud slap woke up Mrs. Sun who was in fear.
She quickly protected her daughter behind her and looked at Daiyu, who was still sipping tea leisurely, with a scowl.
"Miss Lin, are these the rules of the Gusu Lin family?"
Daiyu slowly put down the tea cup, smiled with a crooked eyebrow, and asked: "I really don't know what's wrong with the Lin family's rules, but I would like to ask Mrs. Sun to explain to me. The Zeng family, Ma Liugu and the others , how much money did your family receive? How did Cuifen, the maid next to the fourth girl, go to the front yard to secretly deliver a message to Mr. Yang? "
It turned out that the maid who had been guarding the garden gate had neglected her duty after accepting money from the Sun family. Moreover, when Daiyu was visiting the garden with her female guests, it was also the maid beside Sun Ziqing who secretly sent a letter to Yang Ruyi.
Only then did Yang Ruyi almost appear in front of Daiyu at the right time, and her plot succeeded. Fortunately, Jia Lian arranged it properly. Not only did he catch Yang and Tan, but he also followed the clues to find out the Sun family. Only then did Daiyu take the opportunity to punish the Sun family.
That's right, Jia Lian, who was busy in the front yard at this time, had no idea that Daiyu was arranging concubines for him.
I saw Daiyu's big innocent eyes blinking and smiling: "Fortunately, there is no big problem. Now the fourth girl is about to be carried into Rongguo Mansion. You and I can count on it." In-laws, just let a little misunderstanding blow away in the wind, don't worry about it. Mrs. Sun, do you think what I said is right? "
Daiyu, who spoke softly to Wu, blinked her big, watery eyes, tilted her head and looked at Mrs. Sun with a smile, waiting for her response.
The room was extremely quiet. Even Sun Ziqing, who was originally angry, did not dare to gasp loudly. He clutched his mother's sleeves tightly and looked at her imploringly.
At this time, Daiyu made Mrs. Sun feel extremely frightened. Every word Daiyu said could be said to be a naked threat.
Aunt Ma Liu from the Zeng family did accept money from the Sun family, but which of the six major salt merchants didn't place their own people in the Lin family? It just happened to happen, and the person guarding the door today was my own spy.
As for Cuifen sending the letter, she didn't know anything about it, but when Mrs. Sun thought about how her daughter was obsessed with Yang Ruyi, she knew that most likely her daughter was taken advantage of by the Yang family.
"Mom, I don't want to be anyone's concubine..."
Although Sun Tzu Qing was a bit stupid, he was not stupid enough to see the situation clearly.
She found that after Daiyu's rhetorical questions, her mother was shaking all over and didn't respond, and she felt something was wrong.
Before Mrs. Sun could answer, the smile on Daiyu's face gradually disappeared, and she looked at Sunzi Qing indifferently: "Miss Sun is unwilling to be a concubine, so she still wants my cousin to divorce his wife and marry another one, instead of my sister-in-law? Then? Okay, I'll ask my uncle to write a letter to my sister-in-law's uncle, Uncle Wang, and ask him if he is willing to give up the position of Second Mistress Lian to the fourth girl!"
Ah!
The salt merchants were indeed extravagant, but in the end merchants were merchants. Not to mention the prince's family status, if they offended a high official in the court, their families would be destroyed within a few days.
Daiyu's words were like sharp blades, stabbing Sun Ziqing hard. Seeing the originally arrogant Miss Sun Si's face turn pale, the other girls in the room huddled up and hid behind their elders, fearing that Miss Lin would take aim at them out of anger.
Mrs. Sun seemed to have already made a plan. After getting up, she bowed deeply to Daiyu and said sadly: "Miss Lin, what happened today is the fault of my Sun family. Please forgive me. The Sun family will definitely give Lin a favor." The girl gave a satisfactory explanation. As for the matter of taking a concubine, I also asked Miss Lin to go to Second Master Lian for me. I only have a daughter, Qing'er, and I really can't bear to marry him far away..."
The corners of Daiyu's mouth were slightly raised and she hesitated to speak.
She just sneered and glanced around the room, letting Mrs. Sun bow down at her feet.
After a long time, Mrs. Sun was already on the verge of collapse, and the others were as silent as ice, before Daiyu took the tea cup sent by Grandma Li and smiled.
"It seems that you are all tired, so let's go back. Remember to think carefully when you get home. Have you forgotten something that you didn't tell your father? Don't wait for my uncle to knock on the door before you remember it."
She opened the lid, blew on it, and added leisurely: "By the way, Mrs. Sun, go home and prepare for my cousin to come to your door. If you do something wrong, you must have an attitude of admitting it. Remember, the fourth girl is doing it." Concubine, you can’t say the word marriage!”
