All Hail Cousin Brother

When this kind of words got into my ears, whether it was true or not, it was all a bowl of arsenic poured into my stomach, which made people stare and breathless, and then threw them into the mass graves to feed the wild dogs.

Even if she knew that the young lady was kind-hearted, she would not let her die.

But Fennel was still afraid.

The room was so quiet that you could hear needles falling—

Yang Shuwan was obviously shocked by these words too, a flushing flush appeared on her withered face, and a strong excitement hit her brain.

Yu Jianjia lowered her head and wiped away tears.

Every year in the Yu Mansion, servants are released from the mansion for various reasons. Although Mrs. Lai is Baiye's grandmother, she does not take Mrs. Lai seriously.

But Mrs. Lai was someone who would come, so Baiye chose her to serve in her house. Mrs. Lai, relying on her love for serving the old lady in the past, went to Zhuangzi to thank her.

That day, like today, she was sitting in the main room with the portrait of Mrs. Xie hanging on the wall.

After Mrs. Lai entered the room, she didn't greet her first, but instead glanced at the portrait of Mrs. Xie on the wall, her eyes were very strange, which made her suspicious.

Aunt Seven had mentioned the matter of Mrs. Lai to her before. When Mrs. Xie came in, Mrs. Lai was still serving in the mansion.

The old lady was in poor health. As soon as Mr. Xie entered the door, Mrs. Xie asked Mr. Xie to help the housekeeper.

Yu Jianjia had heard that Mrs. Xie was a powerful person, with clear rewards and punishments like Yu Youyao.

Mrs. Lai works under Xie's hands, not to mention her master-servant affection for Xie, staring at people's portraits like this, people with discernment know that there is a problem.

After Mrs. Lai kowtowed to her, she quietly asked Fenxiang to follow Mrs. Lai.

really!

When Mrs. Lai arrived in a place where no one was there, she made a "bah", spit out thick phlegm on the ground, and scolded: "I bah, shameless little bitch, using a cheap and coquettish appearance, hooked up with my uncle, Broken shoes, short-lived ghosts..."

After scolding and mournful again, Yu Jianjia pieced together the truth about Mrs. Lai's departure from the house.

Mrs. Lai was serving in the mansion back then. Although she was a little quick in her work, her hands and feet were a little dirty. It seemed that because her elder brother was seriously ill, she stole the jewelry that the master didn't wear and went out as money, and Xie found out.

In the end, it is the servant in the old lady's house, and Xie's is not easy to make trouble.

Mrs. Xie was not a cruel person either. He interrogated Mrs. Lai in private and learned that her brother was seriously ill, so she did not report to the officials, nor punished Mrs. Lai, but only wrote Mrs. Lai on the list of the deeds to leave the government.

It was said to the outside world that Mrs. Lai’s elder brother was ill, Mrs. Lai did not worry about her nephew, and voluntarily broke the contract with the mansion.

Therefore, no one in the house knows the truth.

From Yu Jianjia's point of view, Xie's move was considered very benevolent and righteous.

There are national laws and family rules. Madam Lai stole the master's jewelry. Of course, it was excusable, but if it was wrong, it was wrong, and she should not continue to serve in the house.

Mrs. Xie didn't do anything, and helped Madam Lai to cover up the theft.

Mrs. Lai is good at getting out of the house. With the experience of serving in the official family, it is easy to find other jobs, and it can be regarded as a way for Mrs. Lai to survive.

It's just, listening to Mrs. Lai insulting Xie's family like this, I want to come to Xie's family not only without appreciation, but also with a grudge.

Therefore, Yu Jianjia is skeptical about the words "hooking up with the uncle".

But it was inevitable that he would take it to heart.

When I was talking to Aunt Qi, I asked her mother Xie's words intentionally or unintentionally. Aunt Qi only regarded her as respecting her mother, and naturally she would say something.

Later, she learned from the mouth of the seventh aunt that after the second uncle Yu Zongshen won the second place in the list, he went to Quanzhou. With the help of the Xie family, he wrote "Haitu Ce", which laid a solid foundation for his entry into the cabinet. The basics.

The reason why Xie Mansion and Yu Mansion got married also had this reason.

Only then did Yu Jianjia realize that something was wrong.

In fact, what happened to the second uncle back then was no secret in the manor.

It's just that the old lady didn't mention this. Yang Shuwan was the successor, and she didn't know much about it. The first and second rooms were also separated early. She only knew a few bits and pieces, so she didn't think about it.

Aunt Qi mentioned this and linked the cause and effect together, and Yu Jianjia suddenly realized that the person who had a relationship with the Xie Mansion and had a good relationship was actually the second uncle.

The second uncle stayed in Quanzhou for more than a year. It is impossible not to know the Xie family when entering and leaving Xie's house.

Then Mrs. Lai's words are probably not groundless.

Yu Jianjia's face turned pale with fright, but there was a secret excitement and excitement in his heart.

After that, on the pretext that Mrs. Lai had been serving in the old lady's house, she helped Mrs. Lai to invite a doctor to treat her illness, and she also transferred Bai Ye to serve her closely.

Madam Lai and Bai Ye are also grateful.

Taking advantage of this kindness, she inquired about Xie's affairs side by side.

Madam Lai only thought that she had great respect for her first-born mother. If she wanted to know something about her first-born mother, she would inevitably say more.

It's just that Mrs. Lai served in the mansion, and her tone was very tight. No matter how much she inquired, she didn't mention anything about the Xie family and the second uncle.

However, she still found some useful information.

Mrs. Lai held a grudge against Mrs. Xie, no matter how cautious and strict she was, when she mentioned Mrs. Xie, she would inevitably reveal her resentment towards Mrs. Xie, and there would inevitably be some omissions in her words.

These few words and details, it is difficult for ordinary people to associate with "intimacy".

but!

Yu Jianjia was originally a "caring person", and he thought about Mrs. Lai's every word, even her tone and demeanor when she spoke.

It was finally confirmed that Xie Shi and the second uncle knew each other when they were in Quanzhou.

She couldn't help but wonder!

The second uncle was born in the second place, and he also entered the Hanlin. In the future, he is going to be a cabinet minister in the cabinet. How could he marry a merchant girl?

Scholars, industry and commerce, business is the last stream.

If the second uncle married the Xie family, he would inevitably be called filthy disease.

The first son of an aristocratic family, second in the list, the Prime Minister of the Imperial Academy, and many famous names, are hard to resist the stigma of being "fascinated by women's sex", and the Xie family will also become the biggest obstacle in his career.

From the standpoint of being a mother, whether it is for her son's future or for her son's reputation, it is impossible for the old lady to watch her son marry a merchant girl.

Mrs. Lai is a prudent person. This matter is definitely not groundless. Even if she has no evidence, she must know some inside information.

She brought Mrs. Lai into the mansion because she wanted to be kind to Mrs. Lai, observe Mrs. Lai carefully, find out about the matter, and hold the handle of Yu Youyao in her hand, so that she will have a better life in the future.

The plan can't keep up with the changes.

Father brought Xie Shenyi back to the house from Zhejiang. Xie Shenyi's "blood medicine introduction" was too tempting. If he wanted to develop Yu Youyao into medicine introduction, he first had to ask his father to give up Yu Youyao.

Yu Youyao is the eldest daughter, and has been named the head of Shaoyi County. It is impossible for Yufu to give up her easily.
