"Because it can't get any worse. I risked my life to survive. Of course, I don't want to get my hands dirty. It's not easy for me to survive today. She made a mistake, and that's her problem, but I killed her She is my problem. When people accuse me of torturing and killing my servant, they don't care what she has committed. All they see is that I committed the murder. Why should I have to admit to the mistakes she made? Why? ?”
The three children were all stunned, Daiyu was stunned. She understood the meaning, but the explanation was a bit ruined. Does the Jia family have a bad reputation outside? So what did my father ask me to do? Also, my grandmother actually thought that someone would accuse her of torturing and killing her servant. What is the logic? Who has nothing to say to the Duke’s wife?
Yingchun and Tanchun knew as soon as they heard that the Jia family's reputation outside was probably not very good. Even if it was not very good, the old lady would think of this trick. Putting him to death and living later, sending the slave to the official position will make people remember that this family of slaves is powerful and has already deceived the master. Only then can we have a chance to turn things around in the future.
I'm afraid Daiyu is innocent here. She has grown up to this day under the care of Lin Ruhai and Jia Min. Her thoughts on things are somewhat superficial.
And Yingchun and Tanchun were really born to make a living under the hands of the eldest lady. There were no simple people around them, so they needed to be taught and disciplined.
As a result, Yingchun was silent and Tanchun had a strong temper. Because we have nothing to rely on. As for the old lady saying that she should take credit for other people's mistakes, they kind of understand what she meant, but they also kind of don't. It seems a bit like touching the door to a new world. But it's not even interesting.
"Okay, let's go back. I'm tired today, so you don't have to come over to eat. Girl Ying went back and said that she had already begged me, so I gave you face and treated Grandma Wang leniently. There is no need to say anything else." Ou Mengmeng saw that Yingchun was a little hesitant, smiled and shook her head, "You don't have to feel guilty, this is a lighter sentence. She stole your things to make money. The evidence is conclusive. With your father's dog temper, can she still live? Sent to the official is the government. If we say we act in accordance with the law, then we only have to judge according to the law, which will be relatively mild."
Yingchun breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to Ou Mengmeng, her body became lighter.
Tanchun saw his sister relaxed and bowed to Ou Mengmeng. The two of them went out together, and Daiyu hurriedly followed to see them off. She was not taught to let people go out like this.
When Yingchun arrived at the door, he turned around and stopped, "Sister, stay here, your hair is not dry yet."
"Yes, sister, sister, please go slowly." Daiyu was a little embarrassed. After all, she was still young. It was actually quite difficult to be polite like this. The main thing was, was this a formal introduction? It seems not! Now Daiyu is embarrassed.
"Come in quickly!" Tanchun was embarrassed for her and pushed her hastily.
"Well, sister, sister, please go slowly." Daiyu hurriedly saluted again, her face turned red.
Yingchun and the others also understood that Daiyu would not go in unless they left, so they hurriedly left with their people. Daiyu waited until she was out of sight and then came back.
She happened to see Ou Mengmeng put on her coat outside to take a bath. As she walked, she said to Yuanyang: "I'm going to see the noble concubine tomorrow. Please bring out the jade Guanyin statue. Be careful and don't be surprised."
Daiyu stopped and did not disturb them.
Yuanyang responded and asked someone to help Ou Mengmeng in. He quickly washed his hands and went to the Buddhist hall at the back.
Daiyu just sat there obediently, and Grandma Wang and Xue Yan came forward and wiped her hair.
After a while, the mandarin duck came back, holding a white jade Guanyin in his hand. The whole body was snow-white. The most bizarre and precious thing was that there was actually a fiery red halo on the top of Guanyin's head. Looking at the Guanyin, I felt that my whole body became silent.
The mandarin duck was carefully placed in the middle of the table on one side. He held his breath with a soft cloth and wiped it carefully. Then he covered it with a piece of red silk and placed it high in the Babao Pavilion on one side. Every step was done very carefully. Just like what Ou Mengmeng said just now, don't be shocked.
After putting it away, he breathed a sigh of relief. When he turned around, he saw Daiyu stretching her little head and watching quietly. Yuanyang smiled and came over to get a comb to comb her hair. She combed it smooth, tied it loosely with a silk scarf, and carefully put a piece of cloth on her shoulders to prevent moisture from getting into her bones.
"That Guanyin is so beautiful." Daiyu liked Yuanyang very much. She felt just like the Guanyin just now, warm and stable.
"That's the old lady's dowry. It's the most precious thing. On weekdays, even precious jade is not allowed into the Buddhist hall." Yuanyang smiled, and her heart sank. There is nothing in the old lady's possessions that she doesn't know about. This jade Guanyin It can be said that it is the life of an old lady, and others will be reluctant to part with it even if they take a second look at it. Unexpectedly, this would be given to the concubine. It seems that something big happened in Rong Mansion, but no one except the old lady knows about it.
While soaking in the bathtub, Ou Mengmeng was also thinking about the Jade Guanyin. After Daiyu fell asleep in the afternoon, she took a nap on her back. In fact, she was looking through Jia Mu's memories of her property.
There is no modern single woman who is not financially first. Although she didn't dare to let anyone open the old lady's warehouse, the old lady was actually very smart and kept the accounts in her head.
In recent years, the Jia family has not had any big debts. They all come from mud-legged backgrounds and have some decency, but not much. After her mother-in-law passed away, the good and expensive ones had long been put into her private treasury. It seems that the power has been handed over, but what is really handed over to the daughter-in-law is the housekeeping account book. Otherwise, what could she do to hold her daughter-in-law hostage? But then how come the Jia family was defeated?
She was actually a little confused at that time. Looking at the old lady's finances, it would not be a problem to support a family for a few years. But it doesn't matter. This start is already very good for Ou Mengmeng. At least she doesn't start with a dog, and all her equipment depends on Gou. But think about it again, these useless snacks from the Jia family are really worse than a dog at the beginning! It's all a drag.
What Jia Mu cherishes the most is the Jade Guanyin. Her dowry was obtained by Jia Mu's father when he followed Taizu to conquer the world. And because she is also an only daughter, Xu Yu, the only son of Duke Rongguo, specially paid for it. Escort. She has carefully protected him for most of her life, and it really is her life.
Now that Ou Mengmeng has decided to exchange Jia Mu's life for another person's life, it is quite worthwhile to think about it.
After taking a bath, she was extremely tired. Before she could talk to Daiyu, she came to announce that the Wang family was here. Wang Ziteng and his wife came together.
Ou Mengmeng thought about it. If she beat someone's sister, Wang's temperament would not be her if she didn't go back and shake her.
Thinking about it, the Wang family has become more and more disgraceful in recent years, that is, because her brother's official position is getting bigger and bigger, surpassing his father's generation in the Wang family, let alone being comparable to the muddy Jia Zheng, so for some indescribable reasons, Jia's mother She gave in silently, but Ou Mengmeng was not Jia Mu, so it would be strange for her to be so cowardly.
