Chapter 15 Provocation and Counter-provocation (2)

Huan Song looked disapproving and made Yao very angry.

If you live in wealth and comfort for too long, your ambition may still be there, but your fighting spirit will gradually fade away.

The master thinks about the title day and night, but rarely thinks about how to achieve his goal, and how there will be any sense of crisis.

Their descendants will not be reduced to the point of being turned into bandits, but they can rely on others for generations, and one day they will not be tolerated by others.

She patiently said: "Master, as long as my father is alive, our eldest son can still maintain his wealth.

What if my father is gone? Although he is a tough old man, he is still in his late teens!

Over the years, Ms. Qiao has swallowed her humiliation in front of her mother, partly because of her cowardly character, but also because she lacks knowledge and means.

Now that she has Hua Shi as her arm, she will surely be able to coax her mother into captivity sooner or later.

By then, their family will eat meat, and we may not even be able to drink soup."

Huan Song's eyelids trembled violently.

He understood his mother's temperament of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages very well.

If there ever comes a time when there is no need for the second brother and his wife to coax him, his mother will take the initiative to draw a clear line with him.

Even for the sake of a good reputation, she will not hesitate to put all kinds of shit basins on her head.

Mr. Yao laughed at himself: "Don't think that the gift from brother Ji's daughter-in-law is tacky. In the future, brother Hui will have a hard time, so he can use this golden ax to exchange for a few good meals."

These few words were like a stab to Huan Song's old scar, causing him to gasp in pain.

"Madam, we must make a careful plan to catch Hua off guard before she has a firm foothold in the county government."

"Master, what you said is really light! We are not Hua's parents-in-law. No matter how long our arms are, can we still reach into her house?"

Besides, she has the Queen Mother and the Imperial Concubine behind her, so it’s hard to openly oppose her."

"Then what do you think we should do? You can't be beaten or scolded..."

Yao came closer to him: "We still use the old method... Princess Yiyang has a distinguished status, and she has been practicing martial arts since she was a child. She has always walked sideways in the capital.

No one dares to offend, and no one dares to scheme.

Her life has been so smooth, so her defensiveness is naturally far less than that of an ordinary noble girl.

If we want to deal with the Hua family, we definitely can't do it openly, the best thing is to instigate Princess Yiyang to deal with her."

Huan Song frowned: "The method is good, but why should Princess Yiyang listen to our instigation?

Even if she is really a simple-minded person, Brother Yu is not easy to deal with, so don’t steal the chicken..."

Yao said: "How can I act so recklessly? Princess Yiyang was raised by others, so we naturally have to support her well."

Huan Song was still worried: "Madam, please think clearly. Your Majesty has watched Princess Yiyang grow up, and her food, clothing, housing, and transportation are no different from those of a prince or princess. With our financial resources, we may not be able to support her!"

Yao laughed lightly and said: "Master, you are worrying too much. It is precisely because the princess is well-informed that no matter how valuable things are, they are just objects in her eyes.

If you want to please her, you have to make her feel sincere. The gift may not be priceless, but it must be given to her heart."

"This is too difficult!" Huan Song shook his head: "We are not familiar with her, how can we know what is deep in her heart?"

Yao, however, was full of confidence: "The Quail Garden is not monolithic. As long as you are willing to put in the effort, you can find out about anything. I will wait for the good news about my body."

Huan Song took her hand and said, "Madam, thank you for your trouble."

Mrs. Yao did not deliberately conceal it, and with the help of her second wife, the news of the golden ax soon reached the ears of Mr. Xu.

"My eldest young lady, your third young lady is really bullying me too much. Are we girls not as good as Brother Hui?" The maid Caiyun beside her was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

Little Xu shook her fan and said sarcastically: "Who told us, Sister Ling, to be a girl? Forget it, it's not a strange thing, it's very tacky!"

Caiyun has been serving her for more than ten years, but he can't see through her thoughts.

"My eldest young lady, things are nothing unusual, but we have to fight for face."

"How to argue?" Xiao Xu paused his hand, raised his eyebrows and looked at Caiyun: "Go to Hua to ask for it, or go to the eldest lady to ask for it?"

Caiyun bit her lower lip and was speechless.

Little Xu's eyes flashed: "Go to Gan's house and bring Brother Hui over."

"Madam, what are you..."

Little Xu smiled and said, "Sister Ling misses her brother, can't she?"

"Yes." Caiyun bowed and retreated.

It is the duty of a legitimate mother to take care of her concubine.

But just such an ordinary and trivial matter caused quite a stir in the long house.

Xiao Bi was lying on a branch of a tree, basking in the sun while listening to Qingzhao reporting on the excitement in the long room.

"Princess, Aunt Gan is a good concubine. Although her status is not as high as that of the young lady, she is not someone who can be bullied by others.

Because of Young Master Hui, the eldest young master and the eldest madam had several quarrels, and it is said that the quarrel even reached the old lady."

Xiao Bi sneered and said: "Good concubines and bad concubines are all concubines, but it was only because of giving birth to Brother Hui that Aunt Gan had the confidence to cause trouble.

But I heard that my eldest brother and my eldest sister-in-law have been at odds for a long time, and this incident just happened to be used as a reason for a quarrel between them."

Qingzhao picked at the palm of her hand: "So you know everything..."

Xiao Bi tilted her head and looked at her: "What do you know?"

"That's it... I heard from Mrs. Ma, who is responsible for delivering food to the kitchen every day, that the young lady wanted to marry our uncle."

"What's so strange about this? My sister-in-law is not blind. Although my eldest brother is not bad, how can he compare with Brother Huan?

Even though your Master Jiu is not too big-minded, he won’t even interfere with other people’s ideas. That would be too overbearing!”

"Our Lord Ninth is very generous."

"You have to be substantive when flattering, don't just show off your words!"

Qingzhao said with a smile: "Princess, the third young lady's golden ax has been sent for several days, how come there is still no movement at all from the eldest lady?"

Xiao Bi chuckled and said, "Didn't I just tell you that I'm not so easy to flatter, so I have to have something real.

Because of this incident, my eldest aunt probably lost half of her hair.

This princess has always been soft-hearted and cannot bear to see her elders suffer.

Although my eldest aunt is old, she is still a delicate and dignified beauty. It would be a pity if she becomes bald."

Qingzhao understood: "Is that slave going to help her now?"

Xiao Bi waved her hand and said, "Move quickly. I, the princess, have been eating a little greasy food recently and want to change my taste."

"Yes, I will definitely get things done quickly and well!"

Qingzhao ran out of the Quail Garden in a flash.

In less than half an hour, the news reached the ears of the eldest master and his wife that Princess Yiyang had not had a good appetite recently.

"Master, the opportunity has finally come!" Yao said with a smile.
Chapter completed!
