Exquisite ingenuity

Chapter 240 The wolf in sheep's clothing
Of course it's not just trivial things.

Tao Liuniang narrowed her eyes, holding the white fungus and lotus seed soup brought by her future daughter-in-law in her hand, recalling: "It must have been more than a year before Xiao Yang's grandfather Xiao Li was convicted as a corrupt official."

If her son asked her, she probably wouldn't say anything, but since the future daughter-in-law asked herself, she would definitely know everything.

When it comes to gossip, it's natural that women resonate more.

Tao Liuniang gestured: "At that time, Jing Xing was only a little bit old. Suddenly, Jing Xing's father received such a job from the Xiao family, saying that he wanted to build a large box-style bed. The Xiao family asked to do it." The good deadline was pretty tight. At that time, I was also able to help his father pull the saw, deliver things and so on, so I went with his father for a few days. At that time, the Xiao family had packed lunch, and one of them was almost lame. The mother-in-law with legs came to bring us food."

"The woman delivered meals twice, and she didn't say much the first two times, but she came early the third time, watching me working and talking with his father, and accidentally hearing that my ancestors were from Jiangning Mansion, she was very happy , told me during dinner that she is also from Jiangning Mansion. She has been in this capital for more than [-] years, but she has never been back to Jiangning. I am afraid that I will never be able to return to Jiangning in this life."

"I couldn't bear it for a while, so I comforted her a few words. She sat down suddenly, looked around, and whispered, the master made a marriage bed for Da Langjun, but his wife disagreed. After all, Da Langjun was born by the wife in front. His wife was from a poor background, and Mr. Da Lang was only two years old when he died. The former wife only left a silver ring as a relic, but now Xiao’s family’s money is the dowry she brought when she married the master. Now that the Xiao family is rich and prosperous, it's okay for her to use her own money to support Mr. Da Lang, but Mr. Da Lang never respects her, doesn't listen to her, and makes the family run wild all day long. , still don't read and write, and people in their twenties have never done a serious thing or earned a penny. One day, they suddenly came back and told the master that they were going to get married. This means that no woman cares about it, the master So he hurriedly wanted to make a marriage bed for him. The wife was very angry. With the current status of the Xiao family, all the girls were said to be of high family background. The family had already built a marriage bed, so it's not like Mr. Da Lang Don't make sense, maybe that woman is a liar..."

Tao Liuniang recalled, and her eyebrows were beaming when she talked about gossip.

Anyway, her son is not in front of her, so she can't see her like this.

Besides, the future daughter-in-law listened with great interest.

"What happened next?" Zhao Jinyi sat upright, extremely curious.Unexpectedly, the Xiao family has such inside information.It turned out that Xiao Yang's father was the second son of the Xiao family, the son of the wife that Tao Liuniang said.

However, since ancient times, it is reasonable for the stepmother to dislike her stepson everywhere.

Tao Liuniang sighed: "Later, the woman who delivered the food said that the wife had carefully selected a marriage for her own son, and it was Xiao Yang's mother, Youshi. It cost a full [-] taels of silver. After all, Youshi married into the Xiao family at that time, and it was considered a marriage."

The betrothal gift to You's family was a full ten thousand taels of silver, and it was extremely distressing to give her stepson a marriage bed worth only a few dozen taels of silver.Xiao Yang's grandmother did go too far.

Zhao Jinyi suddenly thought of something: "Later, the Xiao family was exiled. Could the Xiao family's son be among them?"

Tao Liuniang took a mouthful of lotus seed soup contentedly, and was taken aback when she heard the words: "I don't have to worry about it. Back then, the Xiao family's house was ransacked and exiled, it was just a matter of one night. Don’t forget about the inside story. It’s just on the street, and the literate people nearby are talking about it. But after three or five days, I’m back to my busy life.”

She thought for a while and said: "Later, I had a relationship with Xiao Yang's mother at Baoxiang Temple. At that time, she traveled a lot, and I was still very envious. How could I think that after twenty years? See you later, she is so sick."

Zhao Jinyi smiled and said: "I just visited her not long ago, and Aunt Xiao looks very good now, she can even get out of bed and walk on crutches."

"That's good." Tao Liuniang is kind, and she is only happy for the Xiao family, "Then Xiao Yang finally made it through."

"Not only that, but now Xiao Yang and my cousin are engaged, and they will be married on April [-]th."

Tao Liuniang was surprised again: "The Xiao family has a lot of happy events! After that, the Song and Xiao families are also relatives. This looks convenient."

Tao Liuniang is really kind-hearted.

Zhao Jinyi couldn't bear to tell Tao Liuniang that perhaps this marriage was a conspiracy designed by someone.

If there is no eldest son of Xiao in the exile list of the Xiao family, then the mysterious person might be the eldest son of Xiao.Twenty years later, he came back for revenge.

If this is the case, it makes sense that Youshi's condition recovers like a spring on a dead tree.

But...the reason why the Xiao family boss came to their Zhao family was because it was Aunt Chengjiao who swore an eternal alliance with him back then?

It was the grandfather who prevented Aunt Chengjiao from marrying the Xiao Family Dalang, so Aunt Chengjiao was secretly saddened, and she died early... and the grandfather felt guilty, so the Xiao Family Dalang took the portrait of her aunt twenty years later. Let's go, and let my grandfather marry Zhao Jinqing to Xiao Yang, but my grandfather has no objection...

Zhao Jinyi seemed to be enlightened, and hurriedly got up: "Auntie, Jinyi has something to do, so I will take my leave first."

Tao Liuniang chased after her holding the lotus seed soup: "Aren't you waiting for Jing Xing's family to come?"

Song Jingxing sent her to his home, saying that he was going to see Lin Wei, and left in a hurry.

"Wait no more." Zhao Jinyi said, leaving Song's house in a hurry.

"Still go to Linglong Bookstore." She told Mei Ran.She originally planned to go to Linglong Bookstore, but she met Song Jingxing on the way and couldn't help asking Uncle Chen to stop.

She sat in the carriage and thought about it carefully. Now, Dalang of the Xiao family has no retaliation against the Zhao family, except for marrying Zhao Jinqing to Xiao Yang.But if she knew the inside story, she still felt that Zhao Jinqing was not good enough for Xiao Yang.The boss of the Xiao family must have used the wealth of the Xiao family as a condition, so Zhao Jinqing agreed to marry Xiao Yang.If Zhao Jinqing married and found out that she had been cheated, she wouldn't have regretted it.

Is the boss of the Xiao family so persistent in letting the Zhao and Xiao families marry?But will Xiao Yang be happy when he finds out the inside story?

Just as she was thinking, she suddenly heard Mei Ran say: "Girl, Changchun is chasing us."

Changchun was out of breath, and handed the two newspaper-style booklets in his sleeve to Mei Ran: "One is the Dibao, and the other is the tabloid just issued by Tianmu Bookstore."

Zhao Jinyi opened the mansion newspaper first, she glanced at ten lines, but she finished reading it in a short time, but Liu Mei raised her eyebrows lightly: "Good job Jiang Yueqing!"

She threw down the Dibao, opened the Tianmu Bookstore's tabloid, read only a few lines and then sneered: "Is this Tianmu Bookstore crazy?"

Changchun looked at the nose and the heart: "Girl, you also made a fuss about Liulang of the Kong family..." and made a lot of money...

"How can it be the same? Back then, I just teased Kong Liulang, and the common people enjoyed it, but this Tianmu Bookstore actually used the loyalty of the Kong family as an example!"

Zhao Jinyi threw the tabloid away, and said with a sneer, "I thought Jiang Yueqing was a good person before, but he turned out to be a wolf in sheep's clothing!"
