Hearing that Ning Xin had escaped, Lu Bozhou, who was about to lie down to rest, suddenly sat up.
"What did you say?"
After checking the legs of his glasses, Lu Zhongyu placed them on the cotton cloth with a distressed look on his face.
"You find it incredible, right? Because I think so too," said Lu Zhongyu.
"My sister-in-law treats her so well, why would she run away?"
In Lu Zhongyu's opinion, Ningxin's life in the Lu family is very good.
No one in the Lu family abused Ningxin, and no one beat Ningxin.
Apart from not being allowed to leave the main courtyard, there are no other restrictions.
Lu Zhongyu continued to speak: “Last time when Guanyu came over, she said that Ningxin asked her for the monthly salary.”
"Guanyu said, your indenture contract is not in my hands, so I can't pay you the monthly salary."
After Lu Zhongyu finished speaking, he glanced at Lu Bozhou and said, “Is it because of this?”
"Concentrate on watching the fish and ask for the moon's money?" Lu Bozhou didn't quite understand.
Isn’t Li Jinglan the head of the family?
Why does Ningxin have to ask Guanyu for the monthly allowance?
"Because Guanyu is the one in charge of the family! My sister-in-law gave the key to the money box to Guanyu, and the monthly allowance for everyone in the family is paid by Guanyu. Even my sister-in-law will tell Guanyu when she takes out money." Lu Zhongyu said.
Lu Bozhou understood and asked Li Jinglan again: "What did your sister-in-law say?"
Lu Zhongyu frowned, “Ningxin’s escape has nothing to do with my sister-in-law.”
"Brother, do you want to protect Ningxin?"
Lu Zhongyu talked about the past: "What kind of life did we live in the past, and what kind of life do we live now? How did this life come about? If you protect Ningxin, you will only alienate your sister-in-law."
"It doesn't matter whether our family has Ningxin or not, but we can't be without sister-in-law!" Lu Zhongyu summed up his thoughts.
Lu Bozhou looked at his brother with a smile on his face: "What are you talking about? I'm asking if your sister-in-law has anything to say about Ning Xin's matter."
"What does my sister-in-law have to say? Of course she is sad and upset." Lu Zhongyu tried his best to distance himself from Li Jinglan.
Although he didn't know much about the inner chambers, he knew that the two daughters of the Wang family had no housekeeper now.
The housekeeper is my aunt's eldest daughter-in-law.
The servants in Wang's family were all envious of his sister for learning to be a housekeeper at such a young age.
Thinking of this, Lawrence Lu’s tone was very certain.
"Sister-in-law treated Ningxin so well, but Ningxin repaid her by running away! Anyone would be sad."
"I have to meet your sister-in-law tomorrow." Lu Bozhou said.
"My sister-in-law said that you can't go home before you pass the imperial examination, otherwise someone will plot against you." Lu Zhongyu felt that Lu Bozhou was suspicious of Li Jinglan, and his tone was very stiff.
Although I couldn't see my brother's expression clearly, I could tell from his tone that he was very dissatisfied.
Lu Bozhou wanted to explain, but was afraid of scaring his brother.
If Mr. Zhang knew that Ningxin had run away, he would definitely look for her all over the world.
After finding Ningxin, kill Ningxin first, and then attack him.
This way no one will know about Mr. Zhang’s little hobby.
Lu Bozhou's mind was as clear as a mirror.
Ningxin ran away from Mr. Zhang's house. How could she not know how dangerous it is outside?
But she ran away anyway.
Put him in danger.
He misjudged Ning Xin.
His pity and childhood friendship were nothing to Ningxin.
"Your sister-in-law knows that I have finished the exam today, so she will definitely send someone over tomorrow." Lu Bozhou said.
He can't go back to Nanli County for the time being.
The results of the provincial examination will be announced very quickly, in three to five days, so he has to stay in the capital to check the list.
……
boom!
Xia Jifang overturned a small table at the gate of the courtyard.
"I said I remember what that scholar looks like, why don't you let me go to the entrance of the examination hall to recognize him?"
The door was not locked, but it was extremely difficult for him to get out.
The gatekeeper was the old man who had taken care of his grandfather.
After returning home to recuperate for many years, Xia's mother invited people over again.
The old man didn't block him. When he saw Xia Jifang step towards the door, he fell to his knees with a thud.
"hateful!"
The door is right in front of us.
Xia Jifang did not dare to move forward.
At this time, a carriage slowly drove into the yard.
Xia Jifang hurried over to greet her: "Mom!"
Mother Xia stretched out her hand through the curtain and slapped Xia Jifang across the curtain: "I told you to stay in the house, why did you run to the gate?"
This was the first time Xia Jifang was slapped in the face, and he was stunned.
He covered his face.
He couldn't believe that the person who beat him was his own mother.
When Xia's mother thought of the humiliation she had suffered in the Yuanwailang's mansion, she wished she could use the family rules to give Xia Jifang a good beating.
"Where is your wife?" asked Xia's mother.
Xia Jifang stammered, "She's embroidering in the house."
"I'm running around outside all day long, and she's in the mood to embroider?" Mother Xia snorted coldly.
"Let her come to the main room. Someone from the Hu family will come to discuss something, and she has to come out to entertain them."
When Li Fengxian heard that she was asked to entertain guests, she felt annoyed.
"I am a great marquis..."
Li Fengxian cursed in her heart and fell silent again.
Now that the provincial examination was over, Xia Jifang hadn't even entered the examination room.
Will she still be the Marquis’ wife?
The more Li Fengxian thought about it, the more hateful she became. She wished she could skin Li Jinglan alive right now.
When the Hu family came over to discuss business, they saw a little girl dressed as a woman standing next to Xia's mother.
Mother Hu raised her eyebrows and said indifferently: "Is this Feng Xian? I saw her when you got married."
But he didn't even give me a greeting gift.
Mother Xia greeted Mother Hu and told Li Fengxian, "Hurry up and pour some water for your aunt."
Mother Hu didn't look at Li Fengxian, but just said to Mother Xia: "During this period of time, our family will also run around to make connections, but... this trouble was not caused by our family in the first place, so it's not good for us to pay for the favors."
Mother Hu stared at Mother Xia.
Mother Xia gritted her teeth and said with a smile: "Of course we will pay for it."
Mother Hu slapped out the list and said, "This is the gift list. Please prepare it."
Mother Xia picked up the list and looked at it, her body trembling slightly.
Is the Hu family taking advantage of the situation?
She wanted to crumple the list and throw it back, but she held back.
Turning around, he vented his anger on Li Fengxian: "What are you standing there for? I asked you to serve tea, but where is the tea?"
Then he turned to talk to Hu's mother: "I am from a humble family and have little knowledge. I am sorry to have made you laugh."
The phrase "small family" not only refers to Li Fengxian, but also to Hu's mother.
Mother Xia continued:
"After the list is announced, Yuanwailang promised to help us find out the name of the scholar."
When Xia's mother mentioned Yuanwailang, she felt some hatred in her heart.
From then on, the annual allowance of 200 taels of silver was added to the salary, and only then did the steward of the Yuanwailang family agree to do so.
And she.
But he didn't even have the chance to meet Yuanwailang.
Hu's mother didn't expect that Xia's mother could really invite the official, and her face changed instantly.
He laughed dryly, "Look at me, I got the wrong order."
He took the list back and said, "I'll go back and ask someone to send the correct list over. I'm getting old and confused now."
In this confrontation, nothing happened on the surface.
Only Xia's mother and Hu's mother knew the truth.
Li Fengxian didn't notice it at all.
She went back to the house and complained to Xia Jifang: "It's all your fault. If you had done well in the exam, would mother have scolded me in front of others?"
Xia Jifang was in a bad mood because of being imprisoned, and today he was slapped by his mother, which made him even angrier.
Hearing Li Fengxian say this, he got angry: "If you hadn't come to the capital with me, would this have happened? What else can you do besides doing bad things?"
Li Fengxian was furious and retorted, "That's better than your family! I found the culprit a long time ago, but you insisted on going to Yuanwailang's house."
"Find Li Jinglan, take her to jail and interrogate her. Everything will come out! They are really trying to catch something far away instead of something near."
The courtyard in the capital is very small.
The sound of Li Fengxian and Xia Jifang's quarrel was carried by the wind to Xia's mother's ears.
Mother Xia was extremely angry.
I can't even bear to scold my son, whom I raised like a phoenix egg, so who do you think you are?
"Call Li Fengxian over! My shoulder hurts!"
