Chapter 15 The Little Daughter of the Minister's Family
Shilang Mansion
The Hu family didn't know that their storehouse had been emptied. After Chen Yuan left, they didn't dare to move at first. They waited for a long time in fear. After confirming that the evil ghost had really left, they breathed a sigh of relief as if they had escaped death.
They supported each other to stand up. She wanted to pretend to be an old lady, pointing at Li who was crying while holding her daughter and scolding her: "Cry, cry, cry, you only know how to cry!"
"If you hadn't neglected to teach her, how could the fourth girl have changed her character and done such a shameful thing, bringing great disaster to the family?"
The second wife followed up with a sneer, "Everyone always says that the eldest sister-in-law is well-educated and well-mannered, but I think she is just pretending. As the old saying goes, like mother, like daughter. The fourth girl is so vicious, maybe she learned it from her."
"Don't say that, second sister-in-law. The eldest sister-in-law is in charge of the household and is so busy all day long that it is inevitable that she will neglect it." The third wife seemed to be trying to comfort her, but in fact she was adding fuel to the fire. "It's also our fault that we are too useless to help her share the burden. Otherwise, the eldest sister-in-law would have more energy to devote to her children."
"Is it because we don't have the ability? Is it because some people are too power-hungry and won't let go?" The Second Lady really continued with her words.
These two people have long been dissatisfied with the eldest lady's housekeeper, but they have no choice because their husbands are all illegitimate children and they themselves are of humble origins. They cannot compare with the family background of Li's scholarly family and the legitimate daughter of a wealthy family. So they can only watch with envy and do some small tricks to make things difficult for her.
Now that they had caught her making a big mistake, the two of them wanted to seize the opportunity to pull her down, so they couldn't help but jump out first.
Li knew their purpose very well. If it were any other time, she would have had a thousand ways to fight back, but this time she didn't want to refute them, and even agreed with what they said to some extent.
It was indeed that she did not teach Lan'er well. If she did not have a housekeeper, had more free time, and looked after her more, would she not have gone astray?
But Hu Lanniang couldn't bear to see her mother suffer like this. When Hu Jianniang dealt with her before, everyone else stayed away and no one offered a helping hand. In this family, only her mother treated her sincerely.
"Get lost! You two shameless bastards. If this family was left to you, everything would have been used to pay off gambling debts or taken from your parents. You would have squandered it all long ago and your whole family would have starved. How can you still expect to eat and drink well and wear gold and silver like you do now?"
The second master was a gambler and once had creditors come to his door, but he had to pay off the second wife's dowry to get rid of the creditors. The third wife's family was in poverty, and creditors came to beg for money all year round, and most of the money he had was used to fill the holes in her family's family.
Her words were like tearing the two people's faces off and stepping on them to the ground. The two aunts, who felt hurt, could not stand it anymore and rolled up their sleeves to go forward and tear them apart.
"You are such a vicious little bitch, you still think you are the fiancée of the Ningyuan Marquis' son? You are just a bitch whose engagement has been broken off and whose reputation is rotten. How dare you show off your power as the daughter of a legitimate wife to us!"
"Second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law..." Mrs. Li quickly protected her daughter. "The child is immature. I apologize to you on her behalf. You two are elders. Please be patient..."
"Bullshit!" The Second Madam spat, "What kind of child is she? She is a rotten-hearted person. Not only does she have bad things, but she also brings trouble to her sisters at home. If she affects Xiaoqi's future in the future, I will tear her face apart!"
"That's right! I don't dare to be the elder of such a person. What if I accidentally get in her way one day and she uses some sinister means to harm me?"
Reminded by her words, the Third Lady finally realized the seriousness of the matter. If people knew that the Hu family had a daughter who attacked her own sisters, who would dare to marry a girl from their family in the future?
The second sister-in-law only has one son, but she has two daughters! Although she is still young and not yet at the age of marriage, people's memories are not so easy to fade. When talking about their Hu family in the future, she will definitely mention this person.
The Third Lady hated Hu Lanniang so much that she threatened to kick her out: "Mother... Big Brother, we can't let a bad apple spoil the whole barrel... The future of the brothers and the girls' marriages will definitely be affected."
"We can only make a gesture now and try to minimize the impact. If we continue to keep her, I'm afraid my brother's career will be affected."
Since it concerns their own interests, the Second Master and the others naturally all disapprove. When the original owner just fell into the water, they all watched coldly and allowed her to be kicked out of the house. Now what Hu Lanniang has done is even more damaging to her reputation, it would be strange if they could tolerate it.
Even because of the previous scare, everyone blamed everything on her. Their attitude was much worse than what they had acquiesced to at that time. They made it clear that she must be driven away, and the words they used were as vicious and hurtful as they could be, just like treating an enemy.
"Husband..." In fact, Li had already guessed this result when she went to Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion, but she still wanted to fight for her daughter.
However, Father Hu did not even give her a chance to speak: "Needless to say, Lan Niang has done such a shameful thing, there is no room for her in the family."
Li had no choice but to hug her daughter and cry her heart out. However, Hu Lanniang did not struggle at all and accepted the punishment from her family calmly.
Apart from being frightened, the Hu family members were not injured. After discussion, under the command of Hu's father, they went to ask doctors to treat the yamen runners and the servants lying on the ground in the yard.
The yamen runners were all seriously injured, with broken arms and legs. They wailed incessantly after being rescued. As to whether it was really that painful or they were just trying to take the opportunity to blackmail, only God knows.
Hu's father had no choice but to appease them and promised them a large compensation to barely satisfy them. He also asked them to keep the family affairs confidential, but it was of no use... He found it hard to believe that these rough people could keep a secret.
But now he has no other choice. With so many people around, he can't silence them all!
Father Hu couldn't help but feel regretful. If he had known the result would be like this, he should not have reported it to the authorities!
Soon his regret became even deeper. He didn't know when the family's storehouse had been emptied. That was the family fortune accumulated by several generations... Just like that, it was gone...
When Mr. Hu heard the news, he fainted on the spot, and the old lady was so angry that she suffered a stroke. Fortunately, the doctor was still there and saved her life through timely treatment. However, when she woke up, her mouth was crooked and her eyes were slanted, and half of her body could not move.
"It must have been done by Jia Niang. Only she could do it without anyone noticing..."
"She still hates us in her heart. Do you think she will come back to find us in the future?"
"Retribution... Retribution..."
