The old lady held her belly and laughed, pointed at An Xiyue's forehead, and said with a loving smile: "Use the air to show your strength, and you won't be afraid of the emperor beheading you."
"You, let grandma say something good about you. Why are you going to Jingyaxuan to argue with girl Lin? You know that there is no evidence and you are destined to suffer the consequences of being dumb. You still go to argue and it is spread. The eldest lady of An Mansion does not want to see a concubine. Sister, if you gain a reputation of being fierce and aggressive, how will you find your husband's family in the future?" The old lady said sincerely.
"Does grandma want to marry off Yue'er quickly? She definitely doesn't like Yue'er and wants to drive Yue'er away." Anxi Yue pretended to be angry.
The old lady quickly took An Xiyue's hand. She couldn't bear to part with any of these grandchildren, but as a woman, she would get married sooner or later, and she wouldn't live long. She wanted to find a good husband for them, who would be harmonious and beautiful. In a lifetime, she would be able to deal with the old man underground.
"Grandma, how could it be possible that the betrothal gifts of the second sister, which were well placed in the warehouse, are missing? I went to the warehouse and looked, but everything worth a few dollars was gone. There were also big items that were valuable, but they were all still there. If we There is really a thief in An's house, why didn't they steal all the valuables, but they stole the gold and silver jewelry, which are not even valuable?" An Xiyue asked doubtfully.
"Well, Lin Wan was always in charge before. Now that Lin Wan is dead, who can we ask for? If the Wang family continues to cause trouble, we will be the ones to blame. The Wang family's mother-in-law may say something even more unpleasant. , took the money and sent the person away, so we can have some peace and quiet."
"The person who stole the second sister's betrothal gift shouldn't be someone from outside. I think it should be someone from our house." An Xiyue said doubtfully.
The old lady looked at An Xiyue, "You mean there was a thief, it wasn't Lin Wan who lost it."
"I have seen the things of the second sister, they are not worth much money at all. Aunt Lin is very ambitious. When she was able to facilitate the marriage between Xiu'er and Wang Yuan, she must have known the virtues of the Wang family. The betrothal gift has been left there for so long. None of it was lost. Why did the Wang family come to break up the engagement but lost it now? They are still clamoring for us to return the betrothal gift. If we don’t return it, we will report it to the official. Didn’t we already know that the betrothal gift was lost? If there were no evil spirits, then the Wang family could announce it before grandma I came here early the next morning to make a fuss when I wanted to break off my engagement with the Wang family. Wasn't this because someone had leaked the news?"
"It stands to reason that we should retreat." The old lady looked at An Xiyue with admiration and said.
"But we lost two thousand taels of silver. Two thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. I heard from Liu's mother that they asked for five thousand taels at first, and finally talked about two thousand taels. They took advantage of the loss and took it. Without evidence to prove the value of the betrothal gift, for someone like Mrs. Wang, does Grandma think she would offer five thousand taels? The last two thousand taels already made her happy." An Xiyue analyzed.
"So they got someone's advice and stole my old lady's two thousand taels of silver. I was also mad at the old lady. If she continues to make trouble like this, it will be difficult for Xiu'er to be a good person in the future."
"My grandmother is kind and only wants to preserve the reputation of my second sister, so she wants to use money to settle the matter. I guess the other party must have thought of it too." An Xiyue squinted her eyes slightly, but she couldn't figure out who this person was. .
"Based on An Xilin's head, do you think she would be so smart and so calculating," the old lady said.
"Yes, when did Third Sister become so smart?" An Xiyue murmured.
