Chapter 186 Salary from the bottom of the pot (2)
After hearing her brother's explanation, Citron was so anxious that she stamped her feet. Xun Qingran controlled her so strictly during that time. She thought it was Xun Qingran's jealousy and controlled her and did not want her to have more contact with Mrs. Qi Er, but it turned out to cut off the news from her and her family and prepare for today's bureau. By the way, her brother and my mother went to Qi Mansion to find her. After Xun Qingran found out, she generously let her go home and reunite for a day, which must have been ill-intentioned.
Such an old lady and such an honest brother are not only unable to help her, but they believe whatever others say.
"If I sold me so cruelly, don't worry about me again. Even if I die outside, that's my life. Whoever wants you to pick me up at this time?" Citron sat on the kang and started crying.
Citron's brother rubbed his hands, at a loss.
Citron cried twice, suddenly raised her head and asked, "Brother, why did you think of using my mother to deceive me back with serious illness? It was also what the two of you taught me to me?"
With her brother's honesty, the most likely situation is to redeem her in a daze.
Sure enough, Citron's brother nodded.
"I said I wanted to save you, so I had to bring money to redeem you. They said that you were a dead contract, and the fourth grandma would definitely not be willing to spare you. She also said that the Qi Mansion is the most important thing to pay attention to filial piety and should make a fuss about it. After discussing with my mother, I came up with this method."
Sure enough, it was all arranged by Xun Qingran, and Citron thought hatefully.
When Citron saw Citron so despair, he advised, "Sister, brother, say something bad. I also met the Fourth Master of Qi's family. Who wouldn't be happy about that? But it's not our ability to rise up. There is another grandma next to us. Girl, it's not easy for us to survive. You can stay with me at home first. In a few days, my brother will take the money to ask for your contract. I will prepare a dowry for you and find a rich family for you in the future..."
But Citron was impatient to listen to her brother's words and interrupted: "What do you know? I can get the status I am today, how much hardship I have suffered, do you know how difficult it is?"
She worked hard for years and finally had a good life, but because of this little family affection, she finally turned into a bubble. She was unwilling to give up.
Citron told her mother and brother about her family.
"...The old lady and wife make the decision for me. Grandma IV was unwilling to do anything to me, and she always gave me face."
Citron's brother scratched his head when he heard this, "Girl, I don't understand the affairs of those wealthy families very well, but I also heard that the county magistrate is better to take care of it now. As you said, the fourth grandma is concerned about her face and will not do such vicious things, but since she sent someone to do this trap, it means that she doesn't like you and doesn't want the fourth master to accept you. Girl, if you want to be under the fourth grandma, how can you have a good life?"
"I don't understand such a simple truth." Citron gave her brother a blank look, "But the relationship between wealthy families is mixed. Even if they become masters, they can do whatever they want. If they become slaves, they will not have no way to reach the sky. If you don't understand, she dares not really do anything to me. Besides, I am not allowed to be controlled by anyone."
Brother Citron sat down silently. This girl was determined to eat the weight, and he could not say that she was a brother.
Citron got off the kang and brought a plate of steamed cake from the kitchen.
"Girl, I haven't eaten for a long time, so I'm hungry."
Citron didn't even tick her eyelids, so she was in the mood to eat at this time. She was planning what to do now.
Let her brother send him back to chase Qi You's convoy? Qi You's convoy would never be waiting for her in Tongzhou, and Xun Qingran would not send anyone to pick her up. Even if she could really catch up, Xun Qingran must have prepared a trick to wait for her and would not accept her. Even if she and her brother encountered any accidents on the road.
Citron felt cold sweat wet her clothes. She shouldn't have come back, and it would be difficult to come back this time.
But just give up like this? No, no. By the way, Mrs. Qi Er!
Mrs. Qi Er still planned to let Qi You take her alone to take office. Mrs. Qi Er was her biggest backer. At this time, of course, she was going to find Mrs. Qi Er and asked Mrs. Qi Er to send someone to escort her back openly. Humph, at that time, she had even more face. Xun Qingran was so angry that she had to keep her. Yes, that was the plan.
Citron had thought about the idea and was not as anxious as before. Only then did she realize that she was hungry, so she picked up a piece of steamed cake and put it in her mouth. The flour was ordinary flour, not sifted, and sugar was inferior. It was not sweet, but a little bitter. Citron only took a bite, then put down the steamed cake and told her mother and brother what she planned.
Citron was so confident that her mother was first convinced.
"Mother-in-law is partial to you, then mom will feel relieved." Citron's mother said.
Citron took another effort. Her brother heard what his sister said was full of trouble, which seemed to make a lot of sense. Although he was still a little uneasy, he always felt a little guilty and guilty about this sister, so he agreed.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day Citron got up early and washed up. She asked her brother to drive the carriage to Duke Anguo's mansion.
The guardian knew Citron.
"Oh, why is the girl back?" the little manager smiled, but did not put Citron in immediately.
Citron has been in Qi Mansion for many years and knows that these people are all red-headed and white. She naturally sees the inquiries and bad intentions beyond the flattery attitude of this little manager.
Citron picked up a piece of silver from her purse and handed it over.
This piece was at least five cents. The manager pinched the silver in his hand, smiled into a flower on his face, and immediately bowed his body and put the citron into the mansion.
Qi Xiu and Qi Yi brothers had not returned yet, but they had sent someone back to report the message last night, saying that Qi You's convoy had arrived in Tongzhou, so they naturally mentioned that Citron's mother was seriously ill and Citron's brother took Citron back.
Mrs. Qi Er felt uncomfortable, and then she heard that Citron came to see her and hurriedly asked someone to bring Citron in.
"... Before leaving, I wanted to go back to see me several times, and the fourth grandma said I was busy. My maid was worried about my maid and became sick in a hurry. Therefore, my brother begged the fourth master and took me home to see me. The fourth grandma said, let me go home to serve me, no need to... go back in a hurry. My maid is already well. My maid wants to go back to serve the fourth master, but I am worried that the fourth grandma will not let me go. The maid has no choice but to find a wife. The maid has let down the wife's instructions and ask the wife to punish me."
Citron knelt on the ground and reported to Mrs. Qi Er.
After hearing what Citron said, Mrs. Qi understood what happened, and even more so that Xun Qingran wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Citron. She naturally had to make the decision for Citron.
"Good boy, get up quickly, don't worry, I'll send someone to send you there. Let her not dare to make things difficult for you." Mrs. Qi Er said.
After Rong's approval, Xun Qingran was not in this mansion. The master and servant were attracted to each other as confidants, so there were fewer taboos to speak. There were fewer taboos and more talk in their hearts. The two felt more considerate and approached each other, and for a while, as if they were mother and daughter.
Citron was waiting for Mrs. Qi Er's words and hurriedly saluted: "I thank Mrs. for your great kindness."
Mrs. Qi Er nodded with satisfaction, but she also had her plans. She wanted to send a few confidants to follow Qi You, but she didn't have the chance. This time, by sending Citron, she happened to send those people over.
"I'll send a few decent people to you, so I'll keep them by your side and the Fourth Master to help you with the Fourth Master, and you'll have some help." Mrs. Qi Er said.
Citron was naturally overjoyed and responded in a hurry.
Mrs. Qi Er's plan was correct, but she felt it was not enough. Rong should also know that her favorite grandson and daughter-in-law were not as good as she thought. Look, as soon as she left home, her true jealousy was revealed.
Yi Nian lived in the upper room, and Rong sat on the couch and listened to the Chen De family.
"... The old lady, the fourth grandma, was worried, so she asked the slave to see it again. The old lady of Citron was fine, and there was no illness, and the neighbors did not see their family asking for any doctor to take medicine. It turned out that it was their family. They knew that the Fourth Master was going to Pingxi Town, and that Pingxi Town was desolate and that the people who went there would go but never return. They were afraid that her daughter would suffer, and knew that the Duke Anguo Mansion was polite and valued filial piety the most, so they made up a lie, deceived the Fourth Master and the Fourth Grandma, and took Citron back."
"Is this true?" Rong asked in a deep voice.
"When I go back to the old lady, I dare not lie. The Citron family is on Wulin Street. I just find someone and ask you to know. I can't hide it from anyone. Don't be angry. This is probably not the Citron girl's idea, but her own idea." Chen De's family said.
This cannot relieve Rong's anger.
"They dare too! They dare too! Don't know the things that are so high and ungrateful!" Rong said angrily, "The slaves who sold their deeds are all their lives. The princess of the Duke of Anguo Mansion, a close minister, a second-rank official, a chief official of the border, and a decent official who recommended her as a slave to be a hut. Who is their family? He dares to dislike everything, but he actually takes care of his master's kindness and does such ungrateful things because of his life!"
Everyone who served in the room knew that Rong was really angry, so he didn't dare to say anything.
It was Madam Jiang who walked up and advised: "The old lady calmed down, it was not worth it for her servant."
"Yes, old lady, small families have no knowledge and are ignorant." Another nanny also came up to persuade.
"I'm ignorant! I don't even understand the principles of being grateful to my loyal master?" Rong said coldly.
At this moment, the little girl outside came in and reported that it was Mrs. Qi Er who was here.
"Mrs. Second wife is here and brings Miss Citron."
