"Shu'er, although your mother went to Guiyun City, your grandmother is still here. No one can bully you. Just tell your grandmother what you want. Grandma has a lot of money. If there are things that are inconvenient to talk about in your daughter's family, , It’s not a big deal if you tell this old woman like your grandmother, it’s the same thing with your sister-in-law.” The old lady held Meng Shu’s hand, as if she wanted to make the decision for her.
"Grandma is right. If anything happens to my eldest sister, she will tell me the same thing." Mrs. Tian, the wife of the Crown Prince, said quickly.
Meng Shu was confused when he heard this.
She has been treating Princess Wei for more than half a month. She usually goes out in the morning and comes back in the afternoon.
She took a few maids and walked around the capital. At night, the annoying emperor came to see her again.
To be honest, she had no time to think about other things these days.
No one in this house bullied her!
"If someone wants to bully you, the eldest daughter, because your father and mother are not in the capital, my grandmother will be the first to refuse."
The old lady said with a sneer: "Although the elders do not separate the family, if someone wants to separate it, I, an old woman, can break this rule. After all... the old man passed away a few years ago. As an old woman like me, I don’t care about so many rules anymore.”
Meng Shu heard this and glanced at her sixth aunt Huang subconsciously.
Although she didn't know why her grandmother was angry, the matter must have something to do with Liufang, otherwise her grandmother wouldn't have said anything about the family separation.
If the third uncle and the third aunt made a mistake, grandma would just scold them in private and punish them, but would not say it publicly.
After all, the third uncle is also my grandmother's biological son, and she is still easy to discipline.
But if it has something to do with Liufang, it's different.
Uncle Liu is a concubine, and although he was raised by his grandmother, after Uncle Liu got married, he and his grandmother were not as close as before.
It’s not easy for grandma to beat or scold them.
What's more, in addition to greeting her grandmother, Aunt Six has never treated her as a filial mother-in-law. She has an attitude of living her own life behind closed doors.
In addition, my grandmother spent a lot of time in Guiyun City in recent years, so she naturally became estranged.
Although her grandmother never said it explicitly, Meng Shu knew that her grandmother didn't like Aunt Six very much, but she never felt sorry for her.
Living under the same roof, everything in the family is harmonious. The person in charge of the family sometimes has to turn a blind eye. If everything is serious, how can we talk about harmony?
"Mom, calm down!" Mrs. Tao, the third lady, stood up and said.
"This matter has nothing to do with you, you don't have to take it upon yourself." The old lady said solemnly.
Having said this, it was obvious who the old lady was angry with.
Meng Shu found that Aunt Six was a very stable person. Her face did not change and she still sat firmly. It seemed that this matter had nothing to do with her.
On the other hand, the two cousins, Meng Yan and Meng Xian, had pale faces and pulled hard on the handkerchiefs in their hands. Their heads were lowered and lowered, and something seemed wrong at first sight.
The old lady couldn't help but get angry when she saw that what she had said was so clear, but Huang still pretended not to know and had no repentance at all.
"Come here, go to the door of the house and wait for the third master and the sixth master to come back and invite them over." The old lady looked very serious and said to her grandson's daughter-in-law.
He said: "Yue'er, starting from tomorrow, you will take a good inventory of the property in the house and prepare to divide the family. Since it is me, an old woman, who proposes to divide the family, even if people outside know about it, they will not say that the sons are unfilial."
"Mother!" Mrs. Tao, the third wife, knelt down quickly: "Things have not reached this point yet. Our family has always been harmonious and we will not be separated!"
Although no one would accuse them of being unfilial when the old lady decided to separate the family, this was all superficial. Behind the scenes, people would definitely criticize their third and sixth bedrooms.
This matter was originally done by the sixth brother and sister and had nothing to do with her at all. She didn't want to be implicated.
The three of them had never thought of splitting up.
The Huang family, who was still stable at first, couldn't sit still when the old lady said that the family was going to be separated. But with so many juniors and slaves here, how could she admit her mistake?
If she admits her mistake in front of the old lady, she will never be able to hold her head high again in this mansion.
"Mom, calm down. If your daughter-in-law does something wrong, she can be beaten or punished. Please take back her life and don't separate the family!" Mrs. Huang knelt down next to Mrs. Tao, pretending to be scared.
In fact, she was not afraid.
For the sake of the reputation of the British princess, the old lady would be a little scrupulous and would not reveal what she had done. She just wanted to give her a beating.
"Your majestic Sixth Madam, the mistress of the house, and Shu'er's aunt, ended up taking her niece's property privately. How is this different from stealing? If I reported it to the official, you would still have a few more years in jail. , Why are you pretending here?" The old lady was also angry and did not save any face for Mr. Huang.
Today, the old lady sent someone to invite Mrs. Huang here first. She wanted to give her a chance to change her ways, but she didn't expect that she was quibbling in front of her without any repentance. She was still pretending at this moment.
For such a woman, even if she asked Lao Liu to divorce her, it would not be an exaggeration.
If it weren't for the fact that she gave birth to a son and two daughters to Lao Liu, the British government would never be able to accommodate her.
"Old Madam!" Huang's face was full of shock. He did not expect that the old Madam would be the first to reveal this matter.
"It's just a thousand taels of silver, it's not a big deal. I gave you a chance to make up for the shortfall yourself. I'll just pretend it didn't happen. Since you don't want to, let's talk about this matter." ”
As the old lady spoke, she looked at Meng Shu and told her the whole story.
The British government has been a family of military commanders since the previous dynasty, so it is natural that it has a lot of wealth.
A few days ago, the old lady asked her sixth son, who was in charge of general affairs, to sort out the family property in the house and make a list for her.
It clearly states the existing family property of the British government.
It has to be said that Guogong Mansion is a really big family with a lot of private property.
The old lady took the initiative and selected three shops and three villages to be used as private property for Meng Wan and the three sisters, which was regarded as a dowry in advance.
The dowry for Miss Xiwei in the mansion has been prepared long ago, and the dowry given by the father-in-law is the same. It is nothing more than furniture, bedding, clothes, jewelry, etc., which are all things for food, clothing and housing. Other than that, , each person also has five thousand taels of silver in the box.
This is from the government.
It's another matter if each young lady's parents, brothers and old lady give it to her.
As for Zhuangzi's shop, they will not be given until they get married.
The old lady was thinking that the last time Meng Shu got married, she had already given the village and shop to Meng Shu. Although she failed to get married, she didn't get back the things she gave away. She asked Meng Shu to send people to take care of them. The money earned will naturally belong to Meng Shu.
The other three sisters did not have such benefits.
