stern wife

Chapter 259

The old lady stood at the front, leaning on a cane, with no expression on her face, she seemed to be a bit of an elder.

She winked at Cheng Shi, and Cheng Shi said with a smile:

"Xiaoran, these years, you, your mother, and your brothers have eaten and used the Pei family's food. Now that you have received the favor, shouldn't you repay the Pei family?"

Pei Xiaoran smiled, and said to himself, it turned out that she had taken a fancy to the rewards that the sage gave her.

But it doesn't matter, she already knew that in this family, she couldn't keep those rewards.

Stopping Han Chan and Nanny Pan who wanted to speak for her, Pei Xiaoran nodded in agreement and said:

"What Aunt Cheng said is very true. Xiaoran was raised by the Pei family, so he can't enjoy the grace alone. If that's the case, let's confiscate all the rewards."

As soon as the words fell, everyone on the old lady's side, except Aunt Zhao, couldn't help showing joy.

Just looking at Pei Xiaoran's nonchalant, indifferent appearance made Cheng and Pei Wenchang feel a little bit drummed while they were happy with their success.

This is going too smoothly, right?It went so smoothly that they couldn't believe it.

What happened to Pei Xiaoran?Isn't she always like a hedgehog, if someone dares to poke her once, she will stab her back hard?
How did you become so obedient now?

Could it be that someone dropped the bag?Or was he brought back to life with a borrowed corpse?
To say that the Cheng family and Pei Wenchang are also a bit mean, they are not happy if the plan is not going well, but they are still not happy when the plan is going too smoothly.

Pei Xiaoran didn't care what they thought, raised his hand and pointed to Ling Yu's room, and said happily:

"Sister Lingyu has always kept the keys and ledgers of the warehouse in my yard. If you want to open the warehouse, I'm afraid you have to call sister Lingyu first."

This is not a problem, because Ling Yu belongs to the old lady, it is impossible to resist the old lady.

The old lady immediately raised her chin and asked someone to call Ling Yu over.

At this time, Ling Yu was still sleeping late, and she was a little unhappy when she was awakened by the knock on the door.

Then when I heard the person outside the door say that the old lady brought someone to remove the warehouse, that bit of unhappiness immediately turned into monstrous hatred!

Because once something is confiscated, it means it is out of her control.

The keys and ledgers of the warehouse in Pei Xiaoran's yard are all in her hands.

But the public treasury and ledgers are beyond her control.

Moreover, she is just a little slave, and the warehouse is full of things bestowed by the Holy One.

After those things are confiscated, will the old lady give the imperial gift to her slave?

That must be impossible.

It was the first time that Ling Yu hated the shamelessness of the old lady so much, that she didn't even let go of the things in her granddaughter's yard, how shameless was she?
Thinking that the advantage of being in front of her eyes would be snatched away by someone, the flesh on Ling Yu's body seemed to be gouged out by someone with a knife, and the pain was severe.

If she had known about it, she would have gone to ask Pei Xiaoran for the gift slip to enter the account book, so that she might have been able to change the account book last night and take a few things from the warehouse first.

It's a pity that she was raised too lazy these days.

Naturally, Ling Yu didn't dare to go against the old lady, and while trying to think of a way, she quickly cleaned up and dressed, and when she was about to go out, she finally thought of a countermeasure.

Seeing Ling Yu appear, the old lady immediately said to her:

"Go and open the warehouse door."

Ling Yu responded obediently, took a few steps towards the warehouse with the key in her hand, then stopped, turned around, bowed her head and said:

"The servant suddenly thought of something, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

The old lady was still very relieved of her own people, so she agreed:

"speak."

Ling Yu said slowly:
"Of course, slaves dare not disobey the old lady's orders. However, these things are all gifts from the Holy Majesty, and they are all specially given to Miss Six by the Holy Majesty. If the old lady takes them all away, the Majesty will ask about them later. , I'm afraid you will be unhappy when you learn about this?"

After a pause, he continued:

"So, instead of taking it away and causing holy wrath, why don't you just put it here, if the old lady needs something, just send someone to get it, and just say that Miss Six gave it to you filially, who would dare to say anything nonsense then? ?”

After hearing this, Han Chan frowned slightly, and turned to look at Ling Yu.

Pei Xiaoran said that this person has been with her since she was a child. Since she grew up with Pei Xiaoran, she should have some affection for Pei Xiaoran.

Unexpectedly, something happened, but every sentence turned to outsiders.

The first words sounded like they were speaking for Pei Xiaoran, but the last few words, what do you mean 'if the old lady needs anything, just send someone to get it'?
Didn't it say that this was "specially rewarded by the Holy Spirit to Miss Six"?
Since it was specially rewarded to Xiaoran, why should others take it at will?
Han Chan was betrayed by her own family members, so she naturally knew that some so-called 'family members' were more hateful than those vicious villains outside.

This Lingyu girl is probably also this kind of person.

It's just that I don't know who sent the secret work?

Han Chan's eyes were like snow, staring straight at Ling Yu, carefully examining her every word and action.

Ling Yu thought that what she said was very reasonable, and she brought out the Holy Majesty, so could anyone dare to go against the Holy Majesty?

However, she was still tender.

Who is the old lady?

That is the woman who climbed to her position today by relying on her own scheming and means!

So, can Ling Yu's petty thoughts escape her eyes?
If Ling Yu didn't have the key to the warehouse and the ledger, maybe the old lady would still believe it.

Unfortunately, what Ling Yu did was too obvious.

The old lady snorted coldly and said;
"Master's order, when did you need a slave to speak your beak?"

Ling Yu's face turned pale.

I heard the old lady continue:

"I know that it is a gift from the emperor, it was specially given to Xiaoran by the Holy One, but Xiaoran has lived in the mansion for so many years, and it is time to make some contributions to the mansion, so I just gave her this opportunity, she I also personally agreed, even if the Holy Majesty asks, I will never be blamed, besides, this is a family matter, and the Holy Majesty takes care of everything every day, so how can he meddle in other people's family affairs in his free time?"

Speaking of this, the old lady's eyes suddenly sharpened, she raised her crutches and pointed at Ling Yu, and asked:

"It's you, Mingli said it nicely, but in fact you want to prevent us from going to the warehouse to pick up the things. Why, could it be that the reason why you don't want us to move the things away is because you have done something wrong to those imperial gifts. Can't you get up?!"

Ling Yu's heart trembled, she never expected that Pei Xiaoran would personally agree to confiscate all the rewards, and quickly knelt down and begged for mercy:

"Old lady, please calm down! The servant has absolutely never thought of anything she shouldn't have!"

"Then open the door!"

"Yes Yes……"
