Chapter 71 Peony (3)
"What happened to such a big thing in the mansion, if a daughter is not going to see what can I do if I don't go and see." Jiang Ruan stood up and said, "Let's go and see it too."
Luzhu and Madam Zhou slept in the next room, but Jiang Ruan did not wake her up. Lian Qiao and Bai Zhi put on her coat and cloak. As soon as they walked to the gate of the yard, they saw Furong holding Jiang Dan and walking out. Jiang Dan was startled when he saw her, and hurriedly saluted her and asked carefully: "Have the eldest sister heard about her second brother, too?"
Jiang Ruan nodded: "Although I don't know what happened, I always have to take a look."
"I think so too," Jiang Dan lowered his head shyly: "After all, they are all their own sisters."
Jiang Ruan looked at her with a smile and said no more. The two of them got up and walked towards the hall. As soon as they entered the hall, the first thing they heard was Xia Yan's crying. Jiang Ruan raised her eyebrows and saw that several concubines were all at the scene. Jiang Li looked gloating. Jiang Susu's face turned pale. When she looked closely, she could see the panic in her eyes.
The aunt was carefully advising Xia Yan: "Madam, don't cry, what should I do if my body is damaged by crying."
Xia Yan didn't even look at her, but just grabbed Jiang Quan's arm tightly and cried, "Master, that's our biological flesh and blood. Do you really plan to ignore him?"
Jiang Quan pursed his lips and looked down at Xia Yan. Xia Yan's hair was slightly chaotic at this moment, and his face, which had always been full of books, was filled with tears, which looked even more beautiful. After all, he was a truly beloved woman. Jiang Quan helped her up with one hand and sighed: "It's not that I don't want to save him, but there is really no money in the mansion."
"We can borrow." Xia Yan was a little crazy: "Master, don't you know many bureaucrats? Just borrow it. It won't take long to go to my parents' home to borrow it. Master, Chao'er can't fall into their hands. What's the Baihua Tower? Master!"
"Nonsense!" Jiang Quan pulled out his hand and his eyes became cold and hard again: "Borrow money from his colleagues. Do you think the face of my Jiang family is trampling on me at will?"
"Father, what happened? Where is Baihualou?" Jiang Ruan asked. Everyone saw her and Jiang Dan coming. Jiang Quan frowned: "What are you here to do?"
Bai Zhi and Lian Qiao curled their lips. The concubines in the house were all here. They didn’t call Jiang Ruan and Jiang Dan. They really thought they were transparent. Jiang Ruan said: “When I heard the dispute at night, I came to take a look at it when I was concerned. But what happened?”
Her expression was not as concerned as a fake, and Jiang Quan stared at her with complicated eyes. Under the lights, Jiang Ruan's eyebrows were picturesque, wearing a bright red satin cloak, which made her look like half as exquisite as a jade carving. He also heard about the Lantern Festival a few days ago, and he had doubted Jiang Ruan in his heart. The girl in front of him was graceful and graceful. Looking closely, she also looked a bit like Zhao Mei was dressed in a fresh clothes and angry horse.
He was a little dazed. When Xia Yan saw Jiang Ruan's eyes lit up and rushed over, saying, "Ruan'er, mom knows that you are the softest and kind child. Now that something happened to your second brother, can you take out the dowry left to you by your sister at the beginning to save your brother first? I'll stay here for a few days and mom will repay you."
She looked at her with anticipation, Jiang Ruan looked at her quietly. Xia Yan was not crazy and even asked her for help. Unfortunately, she smiled slightly: "Mother, what are you saying? If I really have money, I will naturally take it out to save my second brother. But my mother also knew that I went to the farm five years ago, where the evil servants bullied the master. The dowry left to me by my mother had long been looted by those evil slaves." She sighed: "Ruan Niang is really powerless."
Xia Yan relaxed his hands and looked at her blankly. Jiang Ruan looked at her calmly. I wonder if Xia Yan would regret it now. After all, she sent her to the farm! Now it's your own fault!
In order to get married with Jiang Quan, Zhao Mei cut off relations with the Zhao family, so she had very few dowry. But after all, she was born in a general. After raising it over the years, and with the jewelry from the past, there were one or two thousand. In order to maintain her virtuous and virtuous face, Xia Yan never had the idea of these dowry. The things that were taken away in the village were returned as soon as when Wang Yushi made an accusation for her, but Jiang Ruan asked Lian Qiao to exchange all the things for silver notes, so that one day Xia Yan asked her to ask about the dowry and could refuse with confidence.
Xia Yan seemed to have his whole body been hollowed out, and he collapsed on the ground and murmured: "My Chao'er, can it really be a dead end?"
Seeing her like this, Jiang Susu finally couldn't help but run to her side, and the mother and daughter burst into tears together.
Jiang Li frowned: "The second brother is really too nonsense. There is really no such much money in the mansion, which makes his father angry."
The second aunt covered Jiang Li's mouth and knew that it was not the time to add fuel to the fire. Sure enough, Jiang Quan glared at Jiang Li fiercely. Seeing this, Hongying walked up to him: "Madam, don't just think about crying now. Although there is no ten thousand taels of gold in the mansion, there should be a few thousand taels. Why not go and get it first and talk to the people in Baihua Building and let them release them first."
Jiang Ruan laughed in her heart and looked at Hongying. Hongying was born in a brothel, so she would not know the rules of the brothel. The more popular the girl is, the higher the value, and not everyone can commit crimes. If she owes a large amount of debt and cannot pay it back, she will have to leave a life. If she cannot pay it back, there is no reason to pay it back. If the people from the Jiang family go to talk to Baihualou tonight and only want to pay part of the money, it is equivalent to admitting that the remaining part of the Jiang family cannot afford it. Then, according to the rules, Jiang Chao will have to leave a part of him.
This fifth concubine looked gentle and gentle. After all, she was born in the market and had a ruthless move than her.
Jiang Quan looked at Xia Yan and his daughter who were crying and screaming, and finally said, "Don't cry, butler Zhang went to the warehouse to get the silver and find a few people to go to Baihualou."
Xia Yan's crying stopped and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Quan saw Jiang Ruan and others on the side: "It's useless for you to stay here. Go back to the yard and don't come out and walk around casually."
Jiang Dan responded timidly, Jiang Ruan nodded and walked out of the hall with Jiang Li. Jiang Li's yard was not in the same direction as Jiang Ruan. Before leaving, Jiang Ruan said to Jiang Dan: "I didn't expect that my second brother would make such a big mistake. If my grandmother knew about it, she would not know how to get angry."
Jiang Dan was stunned. Jiang Li's steps paused and she quickly left. Jiang Dan asked: "What is the big sister mean? Doesn't grandmother know about this?"
"Have you ever seen my grandmother tonight?" Jiang Ruan said: "Since I don't see you, I naturally don't know." She walked slowly, with a normal smile on her face. I wonder if Mrs. Jiang woke up tomorrow morning and learned that all her savings in Jiang's family were spent on paying for Jiang Chao's will. She would be so angry that she would be crazy.
And Jiang Chao is destined not to come back in full.
That night, Jiang Ruan slept very heavily. When he opened his eyes in the morning, the sunlight outside had already shone into the house. Seeing that she was awake, Bai Zhi smiled and said, "Miss slept well last night, but she got up late this morning."
