Chapter 60 Who Is The Mistress
"Master Zu and Mrs. Zu, it's not good to talk about people behind their backs. I haven't been to the ancestral hall for many years. It's not that I can't come, but I don't want to come." Li Shiping retreated from the servants, striding over the threshold and coming.

She never thought that things would get to this point so quickly, and when she realized it, it was almost out of control.She has never been involved in matters related to the ancestral hall in person, but this time she has to.

Xu Jinfeng sneered, and said righteously: "You came at the right time, in front of all the ancestors, just right for your status. From now on, don't let me hear a word like an old lady. Concubine room It's a concubine's room. Back then, you refused to accept the status you deserved. A few juniors thought you had the gift of giving birth, and called you a concubine, and then cared for you until the end of your life. Do not eat or drink fine wine."

Mrs. Li pushed Xu Xiaoxian away, and took her place among the crowd.His eyes swept over everyone present, and he paused on Xu Jiatong, the corner of his mouth twitched coldly.

"The Xu family's family business is in my hands. This is the rule set by the old man when he was alive. For so many years, I have sent the elders the money they deserved every year according to the day. Everyone has been living in peace. Everyone agrees with this rule. I don’t know what kind of wind is blowing today, so that the two of you insist on targeting me, an old woman who has one foot in the coffin.” Li Shichu said calmly.

Xu Jinfeng said: "In the past, I couldn't get used to it and endured it all the time. Now you are too unrestrained, and the dignified Xu family's descendants have been tossed into a mess by you. If you don't care about it, the sky will be turned upside down. If you wait until you make these shameful things come to the fore Go to the western capital, and the Xu family will be defeated by you!"

Mrs. Lu also chimed in: "Don't just carry the old man out. We were all there when the old man left. The old man's original words were to wait for Mrs. Cao to recover from her illness before handing over the power of the family. After all these years, You are getting more and more reluctant, more and more unwilling to let go."

"Oh? How is Mrs. Tai's illness getting better? I sent her to a quiet private house to recuperate, because I sympathized with her." Li Shi said confidently, she can give up on other things, but she can't give up anything that she has kept for half her life.

Before Xu Jinfeng was able to retort, Lu said: "You are used to pointing at a deer as a horse and turning black and white. Well, I will tell you today, even if Mrs. Cao is gone, it is not your turn to be the head of the house. Two The master is recorded in Mrs. Cao Tai's name and was once raised by her. He is a legitimate son. His wife is now the head of the house. The mother of the fourth girl has passed away, and there is Lin, even if Lin is not justified Shun, there is also the fourth girl. She is the first wife's prostitute, and she can also host the gift."

"Mrs. Zu, I'm still young, and I only cared about playing around in the past, so I really can't take your compliment. But my aunt... should I ask her about this matter?" Xu Jiatong probed further.

At this time, it is impossible to pretend to be innocent. Instead, it is better to put everything on the table, and then I will not dare to make troubles again.

Although Mrs. Lin was a concubine, she came from a wealthy family and her natal family was very tough. She was not easy to talk to a concubine like Mrs. Li who didn't have a proper name, and she was just perfunctory with Mrs. Li.

If the Lin family is in charge of Zhongfu, the days when the Li family has the upper hand will come to an end.

Xu Jinfeng smiled and said: "Miss Si is careful, but I did ask your aunt about this matter, she said that when the spring is warm next year, she will bring your sisters and brothers back to worship the ancestors, thank you ancestors Zong’s trust made her take charge of this family. From now on, you will be with your aunt, and you should pay more attention when she is housekeeper, and you will have to take care of her before you get married.”

"Yo, my old life is still alive, and the family was divided in front of me. Since you don't give me face, I don't have to leave room for it. The property of the Xu family has been in my hands for more than ten years. Will the people in charge below leave you alone just because of your high-sounding words? Unless I nod, you can't take all of this away." Mrs. Li looked at them unkindly.

Xu Xiaoxian also came alive, and added: "Old lady, don't talk nonsense with these indifferent people. Whoever holds the real things in their hands and whoever has a son has to listen to them. You have [-]% of the Xu family's property in your hands. You have a son like my second elder brother who has sealed the marquis, what do they have, the second sister-in-law can't even give birth to a son, why should they rob you."

"Shut up, there's no need for you to intervene here." Shi Li stopped under the sneering eyes of the two sitting in the high position.

Sometimes Li Shi really wanted to cut Xu Xiaoxian's head open to see if it was filled with grass, except for his appearance, he was not at all like her own son of Li Shi.He dared to say in public that Mrs. Lin couldn't have a son, and that there weren't enough people.

However, this is also reasonable, Li snorted coldly: "Without the ancestral hall and you elders, the Xu family will lose some face, but this day is still the same, and it will be even more beautiful in a few years. But you people How many days we can live without us depends on God's will and fortune. Besides, Mr. Zu and Mrs. Zu, the elders of the Xu family are not limited to your two elders. It is not difficult to let others take this seat. If you haven't lost it, how will you two elders gain a foothold in Kunshan?"

Zheng, who was silent at the side, watched all this nervously, and recited hundreds of lines of Amitabha in her heart, hoping that things would turn upside down, but she didn't expect it.

Xu Jiatong looked to the left and looked again, as if resisting not to say but had to say, he begged: "Old lady, you can't say that, how can we not want the ancestral hall and the elders, this makes the ancestors look very sad How heartbreaking." She paused, tears welling up in her eyes.

Xu Jiatong wiped the corners of his eyes, and said aggrievedly and worriedly: "Although my father is an official in the court, he was also named a marquis, but there is no absolute thing. Today's favor, the emperor's anger, will be wiped out in the future. Today's king is the most filial piety If these things get to the ears of the king, I am afraid that my father will not only lose his official position, but also his life. You are his biological mother, how can you disregard his life?"

"You... I knew you were not a fuel-efficient lamp. If you hadn't provoked me, the matter would not have come to this day." Li said angrily.

Originally, Mrs. Li did not believe that the children raised by Mrs. Cao could get close to her, but as long as the benefits promised were large enough, even if they could not be as close as ordinary grandparents and grandchildren, it would not be impossible to maintain the superficial harmony and join hands to obtain common benefits.So when Xu Jiatong first returned to the ancestral house and took the initiative to show her goodwill, she decided to accommodate Xu Jiatong first. Whether she can accommodate Xu Jiatong in the future is another matter.

At least for now, if Xu Jiatong wants to get their support, no matter how thin the window paper is, it won't be pierced immediately.She never expected that in just a few days, this layer of paper was riddled with holes.

Xu Jiatong looked at her with red eyes, and said in a firm tone: "To say something that a junior should not say, you can live without the support of the ancestral hall and the elders, but my father can't."
