Blood from Daming

Chapter 17
The old man of Xue's mansion fell ill.

The Xue family discovered the big hole in order to raise money for the official position. The current Xue family is a pillar eaten by moths, and it will fall down at any time.

The Xue family was in a mess, they all circled around the old man, everyone brought tea and water, and hurriedly went to invite the doctor.Xue Aoren couldn't help but say to Xue Yun: "Grandpa, I will watch over it, you should go to the Liaodong businessman who bought the Zhuangzi to talk about it."

Xue Yun became angry: "Grandpa is so angry with you, you still have the mind to talk about your affairs."

Xue Aoren stood there awkwardly, Xue Yun got angry for a while and said to Xue Aoren: "I will take your matter to heart, and now the main thing is to wait for Grandpa to wake up."

Seeing Xue Er, Xue Yun said, "Grandfather, you can arrange someone to watch over here, so as to avoid any accidents."

Xue Er immediately arranged for Xue Wu to take some of his grandfather's servants to guard the backyard where his grandfather lived.Grandfather's concubines, girls, and servants must be watched when they come in and out.

Xue Yun: "Father's family's business has become like this, why don't you plan to deal with the aftermath?"

Xue Aoren: "If it wasn't for the huge sum of money this time, your second mother would still refuse to tell the truth."

Xue Yun: "The business has suffered such a loss in the past few years, don't you know it at all?"

Xue Aoren: "Your second mother is not that thieves woman who kept it from me so tightly, I'm afraid this official will not be able to do it this time."

Xue Yun: "Father is such an important matter, I'm afraid I need to inform Da Fang, and send someone to call Da Fang's second brother back." Xue Aoren pointed to a servant, and the servant ran out to find Da Fang Xue Jie went.

Xue Wulai spread the word that the old man woke up and asked Xue Aoren and Xue Yun to go in and have something to say.

Xue Aoren and Xue Yun came to Xue Rui's bed, Xue Rui leaned there, rested for a while and said: "Erlang, what should you do with this matter."

Xue Aoren said: "Listen to my lord father."

Xue Rui shook his head and said: "How could I have given birth to your son? You are so confused that you can't even manage a wife. If you become an official and lead a soldier, I'm afraid it will harm you."

Xue Rui sat up and said to Xue Wu: "See if the person from the big room is here, then call Xue Er, butler Mao is here." Xue Wu went out.

Xue Rui said: "Erlang, lock up that woman of yours first." Xue Aoren nodded in agreement.

After a while, the big house Xue Jie, his mother, Xue Er, and Butler Mao all came in together, Xue Rui said: "Daughter-in-law, you all know about Jie'er, this is really unfortunate for the family."

The eldest daughter-in-law: "Father and daughter-in-law have already said it, it is because daughter-in-law is incapable of sharing the worries of father and lord, daughter-in-law is extremely ashamed."

Xue Rui said: "I'm sorry about this matter, you are all your second uncle's disappointment, that's all, I will handle this matter, daughter-in-law, just tell me if you have any requirements."

The eldest wife: "Everything is up to the father."

Xue Rui said: "Steward Mao, please arrange some trustworthy people who can read accounts for Xue Er. Xue Er, your servant in my backyard will pick someone to watch over the silk shop, restaurant and pawn shop at home, and keep guard all the time. Wait there for me to line up people to check the accounts, you go down." Xue Er withdrew.

Xue Rui said again: "Xue Wu led people to seal the second room, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, especially Erniang. Steward Mao took a few people to search the second room." Xue Wu turned and went, and old housekeeper Mao looked back at Xue Aoren.

Xue Aoren was very embarrassed: "What are you looking at me for, didn't you listen to the old man's words?" Then the old butler Mao turned and left.

Xue Rui said: "This Butler Mao is really old, I don't know who to listen to, alas, Yun'er, you can be a villain for a while, and you take the old Butler Mao's people yourself." Xue Yun responded and turned around.

Xue Rui and Xue Aoren said: "Even if you stay with me, don't go there, wait for them to come back."

Xue Aoren's small courtyard has long been watched by Xue Wu, and Xue Yun hinted that Erniang and her girls were under guard, and they were not allowed to do anything in the first place.

When Xue Yun arrived, old housekeeper Mao and the people he brought were already waiting there. Xue Yun: "Let's check from father and mother's room first. Let's go in groups of three."

Er Niang yelled like crazy: "You bastard, if you are proud, will you get revenge for that bitch who doesn't know where to die? No way, my old lady behaves rightly. I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. You can't live without me."

This really brought out Xue Yun's anger, Xue Yun's mother was a forbidden area, Xue Yun tilted his mouth at Xue Wu, Xue Wu stepped forward and held Erniang down, and stuffed a rag into her mouth, Er Niang was still whimpering and scolding "dog slave"" and pushed it aside for her subordinates to watch.

Xue Aoren's yard has quite a few rooms, but Xue Yun's focus is on Erniang's room, and it's useless to check the other three aunts.Not long after, the old housekeeper Mao and Xue Wu came over. The old housekeeper Mao said, "I checked and found out that there are more jewelry. If there are more than 200 taels of gold and silver, it's nothing."

Xue Yun was listening, and when he raised his head, he happened to meet Erniang's eyes, and he looked very proud.Xue Yun suddenly felt an unknown anger, remembering how Erniang and her two sons bullied him when he was a child, and secretly thought that he must dig out the cancer in this family.

Xue Yun said: "Old housekeeper Mao is looking for an empty room in this courtyard. Xue Wu, your second mother's maids will bring me all of them." Old housekeeper Mao and Xue Wu all went in response.

In the empty room, Xue Yun waited for Erniang’s personal girl, Yingchun. Yingchun looked at Xue Yun anxiously. Xue Yun smiled and said, “Miss Yingchun, how long have you seen? You’ve become more and more beautiful recently. Sister Yingchun, sit down.” Let's talk."

Yingchun hurriedly said: "I don't know anything, young master, so don't ask me."

Xue Yun was very angry when he heard this, so he said: "Sister Yingchun, I just wanted to talk more with my sister before, but I didn't have the opportunity. Today, we have time to chat more. My sister's voice is really nice."

For about ten minutes, Xue Yun sent Yingchun out of the house with a smile, and called two little girls one after another to ask questions for a while.In the end, Meixiang, Erniang's personal girl, was invited in. Xue Yun didn't let her sit down, but kept looking at her.Mei Xiang didn't know, so she felt hairy.

Xue Yun waited for a while before saying, "Sister Mei Xiang, is there anything else you can tell me?"

Mei Xiang said anxiously: "Young Master, what do you want the servant to say?"

Xue Yun: "Tell me what you know. I can see if you're telling lies. If you don't tell me, I'll know almost everything. I won't tell you about the Xue family's family law. Just figure it out."

Mei Xiang stood there in a daze, while Xue Yun stood up and walked slowly towards the door.

Mei Xiang suddenly yelled: "Young master, let me tell you, I told you everything about Erniang's collusion with her natal family, but Erniang will kill me if she knows what I said. Young master, you have to save me."

Xue Yun: "Speaking out is to save yourself. You are usually a kind person. Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. If you tell me something I don't know this time, I am not an unreasonable person. In the future, I will I will take care of you."

Mei Xiang: "Master, Yingchun is closest to Erniang and knows the most. I will only tell you what I know."
