Houmen Fenghua: Meet the best evil mother-in-law

Chapter 9 to prove innocence
Reaching out without hitting the smiling face, Gu Qingling was telling the other party that it wasn't that the Yao family didn't show face to the Yunyang Ma family and didn't say hello to the other party when they landed in Yunyang City. It was because she was in poor health that delayed the delay.

When she finishes resting, she will definitely come to Ma's house in person.

If the Ma family in Yunyang really troubled the Yao family because of this matter, Gu Qingling believed that she had put her posture so low, and the other party should also "borrow the donkey" and accept it as soon as it was good.

After all, with an official body and a white body, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. If the Yao family is completely offended, the Ma family in Yunyang will not be in the same boat.

Ma Jicheng said with a smile: "So that's how it is. It doesn't matter. When Mrs. Yao recovers, it won't be too late to 'drink tea' together."

"Then it's settled. When the rain passes, we will vote for it." Gu Qingling turned his eyes and said with a smile, "This rain is really real. It fell too suddenly. There is a saying that 'people Sitting at home, misfortune fell from the sky, almost scaring people to death. The old man was recuperating in Jing’an Temple recently, and suddenly received a message from the servant at home, saying that the old man’s second son caused trouble outside... Until now, the old man I'm still confused, I wonder if nephew Ma Xian can tell me a little bit?"

When the topic turned to Yao Erye, the smile on Ma Jicheng's face faded. He closed his fan, sighed pretendingly, and said, "Oh... Mrs. Yao, it's not that I want to embarrass you, it's really... One thousand taels of gold, this is not a small amount, even if the kid is the son of the Ma family, the kid can't be the boss."

Then, half worried, half regretful, he told what happened.

It turned out that today, Ma Jicheng went to inspect the casino as usual, but he didn't expect to meet someone who lost a bet and made trouble.

At that time, he didn't know that the man was Yao Erye. If he wanted to know, it probably wouldn't happen later.So, because he didn't know, his temper also came up, and he quarreled with Second Master Yao.

The Ma's family opened a gambling shop, and they traveled from south to north. They didn't know how many customers they had. When Yao Erye arrived, he opened his mouth and kept saying that there were scammers in their gambling shop.Can Ma Jicheng bear it?

On the spot, he made an appointment to fight Yao Erye, and made a bet with a thousand taels of gold to prove the innocence of the casino.

The result was—Yao Erye lost.

"Alas... Mrs. Yao, I really didn't know that it was Yao Erye at that time. If I knew it, I would definitely not fight with him." Ma Jicheng sighed and said, "But now it's like this, and I don't know what I said." Having said that, the kid is also a respectable person in Yunyang City, so you can't take your word for it, right?"

The meaning behind the words was not that he wanted to embarrass Gu Qingling and insisted on accepting the thousand taels of gold, but that he had already spoken out and could not take it back, even if he didn't want to, he could only bite the bullet and "take it".

The expressions of Uncle Yao, Mrs. Yao, Mrs. Yao, and Mrs. Yao who stood behind Gu Qingling changed slightly. Originally, they thought that after their mothers came forward, they would speak kindly to others, and this matter would be regarded as "minimizing a big matter. It's a trivial matter." I didn't expect that when the subject changed, they would still have to collect money.

Now that's all right, that's a thousand taels of gold. Does the Yao family have that much money?
The expression on Gu Qingling's face also became a little colder: "Nephew Ma Xian, this thousand taels of gold will definitely be accepted, there is no room for negotiation?"

"Old Madam Yao, there's nothing you can do... Our Ma family is in this business, we spit on each other, if we don't count, how can we make others believe us in the future?" Ma Jicheng looked puzzled, "But Madam Yao, don't worry. , the boy also knows that a thousand taels of gold is a bit hot to deal with, and it is impossible for any big family to pay such a large amount of money all at once, you can take your time, after the boy returns, he will definitely find a way to help you buy more time."

"for how long?"

"This..." Ma Jicheng hesitated for a moment, "Originally, according to the rules of the gambling house, the money and the goods are settled on the same day. How about this, the boy first invites Second Master Yao to stay at Ma's house for a while, and waits for Yao Lao The Taijun is ready here, let the boy know, and the boy will send someone over. Don't worry, the second master Yao is in the Ma residence, the boy will treat him well and will never treat him badly, do you think this is feasible?"

To put it mildly, but people are being held in custody, and they must be paid before releasing them. What is the difference between this and a "hostage"?
Gu Qingling didn't want to talk anymore, Ma Jicheng was slapping the Yao family in the face.

Obviously, although others are white, they don't pay much attention to the Yao family who still has the status of Viscount.

But this time the handle was in other people's hands, the Yao family had no choice but to admit it.

"Mother, this is not allowed. If, if the second master is really taken back by the Ma family," Mrs. Yao became anxious when she heard this. The city will be ashamed to see people..."

Gu Qingling glanced coldly at Mrs. Yao Er.

Mrs. Yao quickly shut up, but she felt a little wronged in her heart: She was right, why didn't the mother-in-law let her speak?
Gu Qingling thought to herself: Doesn't she know?But now that the person is in someone else's hands, and the family can't afford the money, what can you do?
"Nephew Ma Xian, you heard it too. The old man's second daughter-in-law said that if you let this person be taken away, where will our Yao family's face be placed in the future?" Gu Qingling looked at Ma Jicheng and said, "What should I say? , I am also a countess, my son was taken away just like that, and I can't see my face anymore."

"Old Mrs. Yao, I understand what you mean, but you are not embarrassing the boy." Ma Jicheng said, "You don't give money, and you don't let the boy take him away. How can the boy talk to the family when he goes back? What's more, all the smart people in Yunyang City are staring at the Ma family, if you start here, how will the kid explain to others in the future?"

At this point, Ma Jicheng paused, "Old Madam Yao, it's not about money, it's about face. You want face, but our Ma family also needs face... Everyone depends on face."

Now that it's all said and done, what else can Gu Qingling say?This clearly means that the Ma family has already given face, if the Yao family said anything else, it would be shameless.

I don't know about other things, but Gu Qingling knows that since the original owner chose this place, the Yao family will definitely not move out of Yunyang City so soon. If she still wants the Yao family to live here, she can't offend the Ma family to death .

It is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain, that is the case.

Gu Qingling gritted her teeth and said, "One thousand taels of gold, right? Okay, we will pay you. I will give you an IOU, and you can come to Yao's mansion to withdraw the money within three days; however, the second master of the Yao family must take it away today. Even if the Yao family No matter how poor it is, it's still the Earl's Mansion, and the Yao family still wants face."

The maidservant standing by the side jumped in her heart in spring: No way, the old lady actually agreed?It's over, but how can the old lady have so much money? !

Ma Jicheng laughed: "Old Madam Yao finally said something straightforward, yes, IOUs are fine too, Second Master Yao, take them away, and the boy will bring someone to collect the money himself in three days."

……

Seeing that the matter was settled, Mrs. Yao, Mrs. Yao, and Mrs. Yao could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

They just said, how could the old matriarch leave Yao's house empty-handed?Even if they don't have money in their hands, the old lady has it.

Look, this is a thousand taels of gold, and the old lady gave it to someone else without even frowning.

Mrs. Yao was even a little moved: In this case, should she return the power of managing the house to the old lady?

Although she is somewhat greedy for this right, it's hard for a clever woman to live without rice, she has no money in her pocket.
