"Back to grandma, my granddaughter and sixth sister heard some rumors inside and outside the house, but they just felt that they must be just rumors..."
"What did you say? Outside the house? What kind of rumors are spread outside the house?"
Xia felt that she had done this secretly. No one in the house, including Geng Xingshuang and Geng Xingchen in front of her, would tell anyone about it. Therefore, this matter was not considered a secret in the house, but it could not be known to outsiders. .
"Well, Sixth Sister and I went out in the morning and happened to hear someone say that Wang Ya from Changning Street and Yu Yapo from Liu'er Hutong had a quarrel. Yu Yapo proudly told Wang Ya that she was here. The business robber, this time it was Prince Anping who came to her, and she said that from now on, all the business of Prince Anping will belong to her."
Geng Xingshuang paused for a moment when she said this, and then continued as Xia's face turned from white to red and then from red to green: "But I don't believe what Yu Yapo said so much. I think she just wanted to express her words for a while. But she dared to attack the reputation of our uncle for her own pleasure. Now that my granddaughter knows about this, she will naturally report it to her grandmother and grandfather..."
"you……"
Xia stood up suddenly. At this moment, she was shocked and angry. She would never have thought that Yu Yapo was so ungrateful. She clearly told her that this matter should not be spread. Not only did she say it herself, Geng Xingshuang also found out.
Geng Xingchen looked at Geng Xingshuang in surprise. When did the fifth sister know the news?
"My granddaughter also knows that our family is not easy to deal with this kind of thing, so she went to find her uncle. My uncle is the best at handling this matter. Grandma, don't worry."
Xia knew that the uncle Geng Xingshuang was talking about must be Ruan Jin, her brother from the same mother as Ruan. She wanted to ask Ruan Jin how he would deal with this matter, but she felt that there was no point in asking.
Because this thing is true, Geng Xingshuang should also know that it is true. What does she want to do by letting Ruan go in to find Yu Yapo?
Looking for someone from Yu Yapo?
Even if Ruan Jin is the team leader of the government office, he should not be able to snatch the girls that Yu Yapo has already obtained from her.
Ruan Jin can't ask for help, and she can't go back on her word. And if the matter is really leaked, it will be too late to go back on her word now.
Calling Yu Yapo over and giving her a scolding, not to mention that doing so would not help, even if it worked, she couldn't do it for the time being, because she still had things for Yu Yapo to do.
Xia suddenly found that she was in a dilemma.
"Grandma, this...can't be true, right?"
It seemed that because of Xia's reaction, Geng Xingshuang realized that things were not as simple as she imagined. Her eyes widened in disbelief.
Geng Xingchen felt her arm being pinched gently. She was startled and almost asked, but fortunately her reaction was not too slow, showing a look of panic and suspicion.
"Grandma, where is Xianglan? I still have a lot of work waiting for her to do in my house. Please return her to me first!"
As he spoke, he walked back and forth in the main room, looking around for someone.
Geng Xingshuang also followed. The two sisters squatted down to look under Xia's bed, opened the curtain to look inside, and opened the closet door to look through the closet...
While searching, he called out the names of Xianglan and Banjuan loudly and in panic, with a cry in his voice.
The veins on Ms. Xia's forehead jumped sharply, and she was so angry that she pointed at the two of them without saying anything for a long time. Geng Xingshuang was actually a little worried that Mr. Xia would be angry, but she was worried because she had to look for her. Angry still needs to be angry.
Xia was in good health. Although she was shocked and angry, she was not stunned. She was about to ask Mother Qiao to invite the two daughters-in-law, Ruan and Jiang, and ask them to take Geng Xingshuang and Geng Xingchen away. A little maid came outside and reported: "Madam, uncle sent his servant to come and ask what happened. He seems to have heard the fifth and sixth girls crying?"
Xia's face changed slightly, and she knew that this was Geng Xun warning her. The old guy usually pretended to be deaf and mute, but now his ears were alert.
"Fifth girl, sixth girl, Xianglan and Banjuan have their bodies with me, so I can do whatever I want with them. I will take care of Yu Yapo's talkative matters. Okay, I'm tired too. You can go back." !”
This was a direct admission. Geng Xingshuang had already guessed Xia's behavior.
"Two years ago, when each house handed over money for the first time, the servants who wanted to stay in each house paid for their own money, which was regarded as buying a life deed. As for their life deeds, they have always been with you. It's us. As a junior, I show you respect..."
Geng Xingshuang paused for a moment, then spoke slowly under Xia's increasingly sharp gaze, "When anything is close to success, we cannot bear any risks, even if it is just a small thing like the gentle breeze and the falling of dead leaves. It may not cause tough grass to fly wildly and flat water to surge rapidly."
Geng Xingchen looked at Geng Xingshuang, not knowing yet clearly.
She spoke in a low voice, "The breeze slowed the grass and flew wildly, and the dead leaves fell and the water swayed wildly."
"What do you want?"
Xia had to wonder if sisters Geng Xingshuang and Geng Xingchen knew about her plan.
"Starting from today, Qingcui Courtyard and Wutong Garden will be exempted from chewing silver for one year."
The chewing money of two families a year is nearly 500 taels, which is much higher than the value of Banjuan and Xianglan. Geng Xingchen was surprised that the fifth sister dared to speak so loudly. He thought that the fifth sister was trying to pay the high price by sitting on the ground and paying back the money. ?
But she was happy in her heart. What her grandmother had done this time was really too much. Without the help of Uncle Ruan's family, what would have happened to Xianglan... She felt uncomfortable thinking about it.
Both Xianglan and Banjuan have been with her and her fifth sister since childhood. They have been together day and night for more than ten years. Even if she is too poor to survive, she will not sell her to such a shameful place.
"Okay, I promise you, but..."
Xia opened her mouth solemnly, wanting to tell her not to think too much about their second uncle, but found that Geng Xingshuang only said a few specious words, and Geng Xingchen just connected Geng Xingshuang's words and repeated them. She didn't know whether they knew what she was going to do or whether they knew Geng Cheng's plan.
"Okay, you go back!" Xia's face softened and she waved to the two of them.
"Fifth sister, can I go to your room to rest for a while?"
"good."
Mother Qiao sent the two of them out. She didn't turn back until the two sisters disappeared at the courtyard gate.
"Madam, why...why did you agree to the fifth and sixth girls?"
Lu Wu was a little confused about Madam Uncle's cheerfulness this time. You must know that nearly five hundred taels of silver is not a small amount for the current Uncle Mansion and Madam Uncle. Is it just because Madam Uncle gave it up so easily? That question from my uncle that was not a warning?
"Because...she threatened me about my dick."
Lu Wu was even more confused. The fifth and sixth girls never mentioned the second master from the beginning to the end, but after taking a peek at Xia's face, Lu Wu didn't dare to ask anymore.
"Yu Han, go to the second room and tell Yao what the fifth and sixth girls just said. That Yu Yapo... how dare she?"
Xia ordered through gritted teeth.
Mother Qiao said "yes" and walked towards the Yinghe Courtyard where the second room lived. When she turned around, she heard Xia's low voice muttering to herself.
"Fifth girl...it seems we have to let the side of Mujin Alley..."
Mother Qiao didn't hear the next words, but she had already guessed what Mrs. Bo wanted to do.
At this time, Geng Xingchen was looking at Geng Xingshuang with a puzzled look. Although many people in Ningdu City knew about the business done by Yu Yapo, Yu Yapo did not dare to announce the specific business in public. Orally, this kind of thing is done only with full knowledge.
"Did you lose your mind because of the quarrel with the Wang Ya people?"
Geng Xingshuang raised the corner of her mouth, "If she loses her mind so easily and blurts out everything that should be said and shouldn't be said, how can she still be able to complete the business peacefully?"
"Then why did she..." Geng Xingchen frowned, even more confused.
"That's because I said it."
In Geng Xingchen's increasingly confused eyes, Geng Xingshuang blinked at her, thinking that she should be able to solve this matter by herself today. When writing a letter to Brother Qingmo, she could mention it in passing to show off.
