On a July day, the sun was hot and humid as soon as it came out, and when it was near noon, it was as hot as a stove. The branches of the weeping willows by the roadside were motionless, the shadows of the trees shrunk into a ball, and the leaves covered with a layer of dust were wilting and curling.

Han Jianming went to Zhuangzi and looked at the lush mountains and forests, as well as the people working in the fields, there were mountains and rivers, it was really a good place.

Yuxi was not surprised when he heard that Han Jianming was coming, something like that happened yesterday had to be dealt with after all. Even if she doesn't look at the feelings, from the perspective of interests, the eldest brother will not let her out of the clan.

Han Jianming looked at Yuxi's expression as usual, and did not look afraid, and said with a smile: "You girl, you will enjoy it." Such a nice place, I don't know how to ask my eldest brother to come and stay for a few days. "This place is much cooler than the capital.

Yuxi smiled: "Big brother, I was kicked out, but I didn't come here for a vacation. As he spoke, he welcomed Han Jianming to the living room.

Zi Su brought a glass of water over, and Yuxi said with a smile: "Big brother, this is the mountain spring water on the mountain, it is very sweet, big brother taste it." I use this mountain spring water to make flower tea, and it tastes particularly good. ”

Han Jianming waved his hand and asked everyone to go down. waited for everyone to leave, and then said: "Look at you like this, you don't worry about the future at all." ”

Yuxi picked up the freshly brewed chrysanthemum tea, took two sips and put it down, and said, "Big brother is here, what else do I have to worry about." You say yes, big brother?" Han Jianming can appear here, he has already shown an attitude, he will not let himself out of the clan.

Han Jianming couldn't help but smile and said, "You have a good heart." In this matter, the grandmother came forward. Grandmother meant to let you pass to the big house. What do you think?"

Yuxi was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Did he agree?" Yuxi doesn't even want to call his father now, anyway, he has long lost his affection, and he doesn't want to maintain that little bit of face.

Han Jianming nodded and said, "The third uncle and my mother have agreed, and my father's side is not a problem." My mother has already asked people to choose a date, and it is estimated that this matter will be completed within a month. ”

Yuxi showed a relieved look and said with a smile: "That's good, that's good." "When you go to the big house, you don't have to face Han Jingyan's hypocritical face anymore, and you don't have to worry about Han Jingyan using her as a punching bag if she is not satisfied.

Han Jianming looked at Yuxi's appearance and asked, "If the third uncle drives you out of the Han family, will you really go to Jiangnan?"

Yuxi was silent for a moment and said, "If you really drive out of the Han family, you can only take one step at a time." I have always heard that Suzhou and Hangzhou are picturesque, and I went to Jiangnan to see the beautiful scenery over there, and I don't know if I will settle in Jiangnan. ”

These words were a little sad, Han Jianming quickly jumped over and said, "Grandmother means that the matter of succession will be silent for the time being, and I will talk about it after a while." You're going to have to live in Zhuangzi for a while. ”

Yuxi smiled and said, "It's good to live here." "Don't worry about that, no one bother, do whatever you want, it's very free.

Han Jianming said: "Just look at your complexion, you know that you are doing well here." "It's like a bird that has been released from its cage.

Zi Su said outside: "Lord Shizi, girl, the meal is ready, and you can eat." "If Han Jingyan released it, Zisu didn't sleep all night. It wasn't until Han Jianming came over that she was a little relieved.

The lunch was very rich, with eight dishes and one soup. Yuxi smiled and pointed to the minced eggplant on the table, and said, "Big brother, I planted this eggplant, you taste it, it tastes very good." ”

Han Jianming said with a smile: "You have only been in Zhuangzi for a few days, and you have grown eggplants?"

After lunch, Han Ji came over and told the two that the person who delivered the news had been found: "It's the eldest daughter-in-law of Steward Chen, and she passed the news to the third lady." Zhuangtou's eldest daughter-in-law felt that Yuxi had borne such a reputation and was kicked out of the house, and it would definitely be difficult to turn over in the future. So the people of the Wu clan approached her and asked her to help monitor Yuxi, and she agreed.

Han Jianming said: "You dispose of the daughter-in-law of the Zhuangtou family, and the third lady will leave it to the old lady to dispose of!" For the Wu family, Han Jianming did not comment.

Yuxi nodded and said, "I'll take care of it." ”

Han Jianming had a lot of things to do, and he didn't have time to rest on Zhuangzi for two days, and when the sun was about to set, he went back with his entourage. Before leaving, he said: "Wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I will have someone take you back." "Since the matter of succession cannot be made public, it can only be resolved in private. Therefore, it is not a problem for Yuxi to be there or not.

Seeing Han Jianming away, Yuxi turned his head and said to Han Ji: "Go and bring Steward Chen's family over." Yuxi only thought that it was the news revealed by the tenant farmers below, but he didn't expect it to be the daughter-in-law of Steward Chen.

Manager Chen's eldest daughter-in-law, Gu Shi, heard that the third master came over to make a fuss last night, and she was still a little happy in her heart. After all, she betrayed Yuxi, and Yuxi is not good for her to be safe. But before she was happy, she heard that the prince was coming and having lunch at the Zhuangzi, and she was panicked at the moment. She thought that the Han family had abandoned Yuxi, so she dared to betray Yuxi. But looking at it now, it doesn't seem to be the case, if the Han family really abandoned the four girls, how could the prince come over.

Steward Chen was a little surprised when he heard Yuxi tell him to bring the whole family over. If you have something to look for him, you can call the family what to do. Steward Chen is a real person, he didn't think much about it, he just called the family over as instructed, and even his eight-month-old granddaughter was not missed.

Steward Chen has three sons, and his family was poor before, and his son couldn't even marry a daughter-in-law. It was also here that the two sons married the girls of the tenant family in Zhuangzi. Now he has six grandsons and four granddaughters, and he can be regarded as a prosperous person.

Yuxi looked at the Chen family who were kneeling on the ground, and asked expressionlessly, "Do you know what it is to call you over?"

Steward Chen shook his head and said, "Please also ask the girl to show me." "Steward Chen really doesn't know what's going on, he can't be busy with Zhuangzi's affairs every day, where does he still have the energy to take care of the family's affairs, and if he is asked to take care of it, he can't manage it.

Yuxi said: "There was a rumor in the capital two days ago that I had a private meeting with the second master of the Chen family, and I had a private meeting in Zhuangzi. Steward Chen, do you know about this?"

Steward Chen was not so well-informed, shook his head and said, "Girl, the old slave has never heard of this. "He was in a hurry because of the rain a few days ago, and he was busy in the fields all day. I don't even have time to chat with my son, so how do I know any rumors in the capital.

When Gu Shi heard this, his whole body trembled.

Yuxi didn't speak, just looked at Gu Shi, whose face was pale. There is no need for Yuxi to speak, looking at Gu's appearance, the others also understood. Steward Chen's eldest son slapped him and asked sharply, "Say, what's going on?"

Gu also knew that it was useless to grit his teeth and resist. At that moment, the people of the Wu clan found her and promised a lot of money. After Gu finished speaking, he kowtowed to Yuxi and begged for mercy: "Girl, I just said that the second master of the Chen family came to look for the girl, and I didn't say anything else." ”

What Yuxi hates the most is this kind of thing that is high and low.

When Steward Chen's eldest son heard this, he slapped Gu to the ground: "You wicked woman, you want to kill our whole family." "Gu's behavior is to betray the master. The slave who betrays the master, that is the most hated by the master.

The second daughter-in-law of the Chen family said: "Girl, we don't know about this matter, begging the girl to spare her life." "It's going to be sold, and I don't know what awaits them.

Yuxi sneered: "Such a big thing, you live under the same roof without knowing at all? Do you think I will believe this?" As long as you have the heart, you will know.

As soon as these words fell, the faces of the rest of the Chen family changed. Steward Chen burst into tears, kowtowed and said, "Girl, the old slave really doesn't know. If the old slave knew that the Gu family dared to betray the master, the old slave would definitely not tolerate it. "If it's a family dispute, turn a blind eye and it's over. But this kind of betrayal of the Lord involves the whole family.

Yuxi was able to call Steward Chen over, also because Steward Chen has been taking care of Zhuangzi conscientiously in the past few years, never cheating and cheating, and the accounts are clear. This time she was driven to Zhuangzi, and Steward Chen was also respectful to her, without a trace of perfunctory. No matter what she was told, Steward Chen did a good job. Otherwise, with the Gu family's doing, where do you need to find them, it is not too much to directly sell the entire Chen family.

At this time, Han Ji walked in and said to Yuxi, "Girl, the search has been completed." These were all searched from the Chen family. ”

Han Ji explained what he had found. Five hundred taels of silver tickets and more than sixty taels of broken silver were found in Steward Chen's house, as well as a pair of gold earrings and two gold rings. However, the five hundred taels of Steward Chen are not a whole sheet, they are added up by ten taels and twenty taels. It can be seen that these are accumulated over time. What Gu found was two silver tickets worth five hundred taels, as well as a gold bracelet and a golden hairpin, and the red gold and gemstone hairpin was particularly eye-catching. In addition, a gold bracelet was also found from the house of the second daughter-in-law of the Chen family, with a few broken silver.

Yuxi looked at the patterns of the two gold bracelets, and knew that they were originally a pair without asking. Yuxi looked at the second daughter-in-law of the Chen family and said with a smile: "Don't you don't know?

The second daughter-in-law of the Chen family looked like ashes.

The result of the disposal was also very simple, the Gu family was tied up and sent to the Guogong Mansion, not to be handed over to the Qiu family for disposal, but the Gu family had to be used as a witness to prove that she was the one who sent the news to the Wu family that day. As for the second daughter-in-law of the Chen family, because she was married by a daughter from a good family, Yuxi did not dispose of it, and let the Chen family deal with it themselves.

Steward Chen saw that the family was not implicated, and the girl returned the silver tickets and broken silver found from his house to him, and she was grateful and guilty.

Yuxi didn't say much, but said: "The affairs of Zhuangzi will have to work hard for you in the future." "Steward Chen handles no less than 100 taels of silver every month, but he has only saved more than 500 taels of silver in more than seven years, which shows Steward Chen's integrity.

Steward Chen choked up and said, "Don't worry, girl, I will definitely take care of Zhuangzi properly and don't let the girl worry about it." ”

Yuxi nodded and said, "Go back!"

When the Chen family returned to their residence, several people felt that they had come back from a turn in the ghost gate. If it weren't for the girl's generosity, it is estimated that the family would be ruined by now.
