Chapter 27 Envy
She no longer passively accepts the profits of the farms and shops that are routinely handed over every year, but instead tries to manage them by herself.
The first thing I used to practice was two shops in Beijing.
Who would have thought it wouldn't matter if you didn't check it, but after checking it, you found that there were so many loopholes in it!
My grandparents were still a little neglected. The Wang family, who they thought would be loyal, had already had a strange intention in the long years after their mother's death.
Especially Manager Wang of Jinxiu Bookstore, he was even more ungrateful and ungrateful. Back then, she found out that there was a deficit of tens of thousands of taels of silver in Jinxiu Bookstore and forced Manager Wang to spit out the silver. Manager Wang was angry and wanted to kill her without doing anything.
Fortunately, the servants of the Yingwu Hou Mansion had learned some fist and foot skills, so Manager Wang could not kill her, but he also scratched her arm and ran away and disappeared.
Who would have thought that such a cruel and ruthless Manager Wang would die?
She obviously just asked A Wu to steal the account book of Jinxiu Bookstore and threatened Manager Wang, saying that she would go to Yanling Wang to report his personal pockets, so that she could force Manager Wang to escape with the money, and then let the government arrest him.
She asked Awu to arrange everything, and she also acted as a jade hairpin to bribe the yamen officials and asked them to go to the Wang family to block people.
Now, the person is not caught, but he is dead?
Who killed Manager Wang?
"The head of the family, wife, someone from the government has come and said he wants to investigate the murder of Manager Wang." The voice of a maid came from outside.
Lu Yun had a complicated expression. He closed his eyes and said to Zhu: "I'll go and take a look."
Zhu knew that Jinxiu Bookstore was the dowry shop of Lu Yun’s original wife Wang Yuniang, so she never intervened. Now that the manager of this bookstore is dead, she cannot intervene, otherwise the hat that covets the dowry of his original wife would fall on her head.
Aunt Ji and Qin Shuang didn't know the origin of Jinxiu Bookstore. They were interrupted by this incident and the matter between them and Zhu could only be temporarily put on hold.
Qin Shuang was very unsatisfied. As the show was about to come on, the head of the family wanted to punish Zhu and Lu Yuanmin's uneducated little hoof, but it ended abruptly.
Aunt Ji had a bad premonition.
Because the development of things was far beyond her expectations, it began to become uncontrollable.
According to her vision, she did not intend to face Zhu so quickly. Before everything was planned, it was tantamount to digging a hole for herself. It had no practical significance except to make Zhu alert.
She originally just wanted to hit Ning Niang.
How did things develop to the point where they and the Zhu family are incompatible?
"My mother, sister is awake!" Lu Yuanying's voice interrupted Aunt Ji's thoughts.
Everyone hurriedly looked at Lu Yuanning and saw that the little lady on the bed really opened her eyes.
Zhu quickly walked to Lu Yuanning and said with concern: "Good boy, how are you?"
Lu Yuanning pursed his lips and shook his head gently, "I'm fine, I'm worried you."
She was really hungry for two days, her voice was very weak, and she just heard the news of Manager Wang being killed, and her face turned pale, so she looked a little sick.
Zhu felt sad.
Just now, she had complained about this stepdaughter for a moment in her heart, but now she looked at her pale and weak appearance and lost her temper.
After all, it was her and her husband who were sorry for this child.
Not to mention that she just tortured herself to illness, even if she was determined to target her stepmother, it would be her "retribution".
What qualifications do you have to blame for her weakness?
"I know it with your grandfather. A silly child is just a trivial matter, and it is worth taking it to heart like this." Zhu touched her hair and comforted her: "Don't worry, things are not as serious as you think, everything can be solved."
Lu Yuanning's eyes were filled with tears, "I'm sorry, I don't want to do this either..."
Qin Shuang rushed to Lu Yuanning in front of crying, "Miss, why are you so stupid? It's all my fault. If I had known that you would feel so uncomfortable, I would have had a dispute with the third lady."
Aunt Ji also wiped her tears, "It's because the old slave didn't teach Shuang'er well. As a slave, she shouldn't be able to argue with the third lady for right or wrong."
Seeing this, Lu Yuanying gently pulled Lu Yuanmin's sleeve.
Lu Yuanmin understood what she meant, but she still didn't move.
She will never admit her mistake.
She is not wrong, why should she admit her mistake?
If you judge a matter without asking whether it is right or wrong, and just looking at who will show weakness, then what justice can you say?
Even if my elder sister was really a white silk hanging here today, she would never admit her mistake!
At worst, she will lose her life!
"Min Niang." Zhu turned around and waved to Lu Yuanmin.
Lu Yuanmin bit his lower lip tightly.
She thought that if my mother forced her to admit her mistake, she would immediately pack up her bags and go back to Jiangzhou.
The Lu family treated her unfairly, so she became the little lady of the Zhu family!
"What are you doing, you kid? When your elder sister wakes up, go to the kitchen to get her some food." Zhu said with a smile.
Instead of forcing her daughter to apologize, she sent her daughter away.
She asked her daughter to stay away from all this terrible thing.
Lu Yuanmin was stunned, then nodded and left the house with tears in his eyes.
It’s better for my mother to treat her better, my mother understands her best.
Lu Yuanning looked at Lu Yuanmin's leaving figure and felt a soreness in his heart.
This is a child who is spoiled by his grandmother wholeheartedly. Don’t think too much, just follow your original intention.
If she can, she also wants to live so freely and freely, without having to think about it, without having to look back and forth, without having to think carefully before saying every word.
But she has no mother anymore.
There is no one who can protect her wholeheartedly and make her be yourself.
She really envies Min Mom!
...
Lu Yuanmin did not come back, and the maid next to her brought her food.
Lu Yuanning didn't really want to starve herself to death. She ate three pieces of a stack of osmanthus cake and drank another cup of jasmine tea before stopping.
"This is the best, how can you not eat?" Zhu took out a handkerchief and wiped the desserts from the corner of Lu Yuanning's mouth, very kind.
Lu Yuanning looked at her with wet eyes, "Are Min Niang still angry? Qin Shuang already knew she was wrong."
Zhu smiled and touched her hair, but did not answer her question, but said, "You have a good rest and when your grandfather comes back, everything will be solved."
If Minniang can admit her mistake, things will naturally be resolved quickly, but Zhu doesn't want to do this.
She didn't want to let her daughter down and admit her fault that was not her, nor did she want to solve the problem in a hurry.
She knew very well that as long as the Ji family and daughter were still with Ning Niang's side, such things would happen in the future.
Because she did not see any respect she deserved from the eyes of the Ji mother and daughter.
She didn't want to be scolded by Lu Yun next time, nor did she want to be in a relationship with her stepdaughter just because of the two servants.
