Scheme of the Official Descendant

It was a coincidence to say that it happened that Mrs. Ren and Mrs. Ren were not at home today to attend a birthday banquet.

Those who came from the Li family were the head of the Li family, Li Siliang, Li Siliang's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Li, and the married eldest daughter of the Li family, Li Mashi.

The Ren family can be regarded as one of the largest Ren family in Baihe Town, but it was not so easy for the Li family to enter the Ren family's door. They were stopped by the porter at the door without even notifying them.

The people from the Li family broke out at the door of Ren's house. Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li Ma are indeed mother and daughter. Their loud voices almost startled the concierge.

Mrs. Li Ma pinched her waist and pointed at an orchid while cursing and crying: "My father and mother saved money for several years in order to marry such a daughter-in-law for my brother, but after you received the dowry, you turned your face and refused to recognize anyone. My poor unmarried sister-in-law was sold and sold to a kiln in the south! What a crime this is! My miserable sister-in-law! Who will judge our family! "

Hearing his daughter crying, Li Siliang had already attracted a few passers-by who passed by Ren's house. Yixiu whispered: "You can let our daughter almost do it. If you make a big mess and make the master's face ugly, don't get the money and get beaten up by those servants instead."

Mrs. Li was watching the scene while crying, when she heard this and thought about it, she felt that Li Siliang was right, so she secretly gave her daughter a wink.

I don't think Mrs. Li Ma was talking enthusiastically, so she didn't notice her mother's eyes at all: "...it was because she accidentally offended your family's third lady, and was beaten out with only half her life left. How could you be so cruel! God! What a crime! My poor sister-in-law!"

Seeing that there were more lively people, the concierge was stunned, and a woman ran into the house immediately to report to the masters when she noticed something was wrong.

Mrs. Li felt something was wrong when she heard it, and couldn't help but stepped forward to tug on her daughter's sleeve. Didn't you say you came to ask for money? Why is it still involving the young lady?

Li's family buys rouge and gouache, and Mrs. Li has been a proprietress for decades and she doesn't know anything.

Mrs. Li Ma gave Mrs. Li a calm look, and whispered to her: "Mother, these big families are most afraid of losing face, so I say that later they will give more money to stop our mouths. If my younger brother wants to marry a good wife, he has to prepare more dowry gifts, right? At worst, I will howl a few more times, saying that what I just said was a misunderstanding."

Mrs. Li thought about her son at home, so she hesitated and let go of Li Mashi's hand.

Li Mashi is secretly proud, she went back today and persuaded her parents to come here because she secretly took fifty taels of silver from someone else, and the man agreed that there would be fifty taels for her after she finished the play. One hundred taels of silver is a lot of money. I think when she got married, her parents saved money for her younger brother to marry a daughter-in-law. The dowry bought for her was less than 20 taels of silver. She knew their family background, so she always blamed her parents for being too partial .

So she doesn't care whether her parents can get the money from the Ren family today, anyway, the money has nothing to do with her. All she needs to do is make things worse and discredit the third lady of the Ren family.

Thinking of this, Li Mashi howled even harder, the door plaque of the Ren family almost collapsed by her.

Ren Yaohua was coming out of the garden at that time, so she happened to bump into the concierge woman who came in to report in a hurry, Ren Yaohua sneered: "I want to see what tricks they are playing!" The son walked to the door.

Aunt Fang frowned when she heard the news, and called Ren Yaoying over.

"You found the people from the Li family?"

Ren Yaoying glanced at Aunt Fang: "Mother, I really can't swallow this breath without taking down Ren Yaohua's daughter! I don't want to see her showing off her power in front of me again! If you don't help me vent my anger, I will do it myself. I want to see how violent she is!" How can she marry into the Qiu family after having a vicious reputation!"

Aunt Fang sighed: "Ying'er, why are you so disobedient! Auntie told you to bear it, she will always help you. You are too reckless to do so today! Although Ren Yaohua is impulsive, But she is not stupid, and you will be the one who will suffer if she accidentally bites back."

Ren Yaoying didn't think so, she stepped forward to hug Aunt Fang and shook her hand, begging softly: "Mother, please help me. With you here, why should my daughter be afraid of her schemes?"

Aunt Fang's face was full of helplessness.

When Ren Yaoqi heard the news, she was looking at Ren Shimin's painting in Linxian Pavilion. Although it's hard to say what kind of person Sun Shiniang is, her mounting skills are still very skillful. Ren Yaoqi came to see it every day. Sun Shiniang was responsible for uncovering the heart of the painting and patching the backing paper, while Ren Shimin was responsible for the full color of the painting. The two cooperated tacitly, and it is estimated that both paintings can be repaired in less than a month.

Ren Yaoqi didn't disturb Ren Shimin who was concentrating on painting when she heard Apple came in to report something happened outside, she quietly came out from Linxiang Pavilion.

"The third sister has passed?" Ren Yaoqi asked.

Sangshen nodded: "The old lady and the eldest lady are going out today, and the third lady will go there as soon as she receives the news."

Ren Yaoqi nodded: "Go and get the chief steward of the inner courtyard, and also go and get Zhou Nanny over."

Sangshen responded, and Ren Yaoqi walked out with Apple and several other maids.

As soon as Ren Yaohua walked to the door, she heard Li Mashi's dry howling outside. She stood behind the screen wall and listened quietly for a while, the more she listened, the colder her face became, but she still had some sense of propriety, and she didn't surrender herself and ran out to meet the unknown The so-called shrew debate, otherwise it would be a joke.

She beckoned Xiangxian to pass by, and whispered a few words in her ear.

Xiangqin was also filled with justice and indignation at first, wishing that the lady would let her out and bite the woman. Hearing Ren Yaohua's explanation, he nodded again and again, and then took the two wives out with a heroic stride.

Ren Yaohua didn't show her face, she still stood behind the screen and listened.

After a while, Xiangqin's clear and sharp voice sounded outside: "Where did this so-called woman come from? The gate of the Ren family also acted wildly with you? And you! Seeing other people making trouble for no reason, wouldn't you drive them away?" Is it? Could it be that there is a vegetable market in front of our Ren's house, and whoever wants to make trouble, let her make trouble?"

Li Mashi secretly looked at Xiangqin, and saw that she was well dressed, but before she got married, she also looked at the shop for the rouge shop at home, and knew that she was just a girl with some dignity, so she was not afraid of her Instead, he told the story of the Ren family selling Chun'er again, and asked the Ren family to hand over someone.

Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief when someone finally came out, but her attitude was much better than her own daughter: "Girl, we just came here today to ask for a talk. The Ren family accepted our betrothal gift, but I sold Chun'er, so who will my son marry?"

The maid of Xiangqin stared imposingly and said: "Whoever you want to marry! The Chun'er you are talking about is the big maid next to Miss Jiu, right? She made a big mistake and was punished by the mother Zhou next to our wife and then betrayed her." Get out! When will our Ren family deal with a criminal servant girl and explain to you? I want to explain to the Qingtian master in the government!"

"We gave a dowry..." Li Ma said immediately.

But it was cut off by Xiangqin unceremoniously: "What dowry? Did she accept your family's dowry? She is a maid, not even free, how can she decide her own marriage? If she really accepts you I will send someone to report the dowry to the officials and bring her back! No wonder she will be kicked out of the Ren Mansion, this girl has a wicked heart!"

Mrs. Li hurriedly said: "No, no, it's the dowry gift that she received after your master promised to marry, and it's not a private marriage without telling the master's family."

"Oh?" Xiangqin squinted at Mrs. Li and said, "The third master and third wife of our family have never been promised to marry, which master promised her to marry?"

"It's Aunt Fang." Mrs. Li said immediately.

Xiangqin laughed "Puchi" when she heard the words: "Sister-in-law, are you here to have fun? Aunt Fang is also a half-master, but which family has an aunt who promises marriage?"

As soon as this remark came out, the crowd who watched the excitement also whispered. Auntie can't be regarded as a serious master, even if she wants to show dignity to a maid, she must get the consent of the mistress.

Outsiders don't know that Aunt Fang's status in the Ren family has always been a bit special. She even has more face in front of the old lady Ren than the serious wife of the third bedroom. It's not a big deal for Aunt Fang to want to win people's hearts and marry a maid.

Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li Ma glanced at each other.

Xiangqin continued: "Since our family can sell Chun'er, then her contract of sale is in the hands of our master. Do you want to go back and check the laws of the Great Zhou?"

The Dazhou Law "Household Law. Marriage" stipulates, "The marriage of slaves and maidservants is by the head of the family. Anyone who does not ask the master to marry without permission will be punished with one hundred lashes. Regardless of whether it has been a child for a long time, the divorce will be terminated."

This patriarch naturally refers to the master who holds the bond of slavery.

Although Xiangqin moved out of the Great Zhou Law to scare the Li family, but the common people also know this, and they are even used to it, so Xiangqin, who is also a slave, did not feel uncomfortable when she said it. Because it was accepted by everyone at the time.

Note: "Laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty" refers to "Laws of the Qing Dynasty"
