The eldest lady smiled and said: "This is not my fault. If Sister Xi hadn't been unwilling to come back from the beginning, and bargained with us and made various demands, it would have made me think that she is someone who does not admire power, is independent, independent, and self-respecting.

I won’t carefully select servants for my girl.”

"Besides," she added, "even if the servants we arrange for her are not appropriate, do you think she will let others lead her? Look at everything she arranged today, she is very thoughtful.

Every detail has been taken into consideration, even more meticulously than us, a housewife who has lived at home for many years. Even if Madam Wei suspected that she was deliberately avoiding her, she couldn't produce any evidence."

Having said this, she felt quite relieved.

Wasn't she like this during this period? Thinking back to the situation when she gave birth to the child, and thinking of the wet nurse in the prison, the dead nanny next to Wei, and the escaped Wen Po, I was already 99% certain in my heart that Wei

Her child was stolen, but she had no evidence, and even though she felt heartbroken and uncomfortable, she could do nothing.

If Xu Xi hadn't drawn a portrait of Po Wen and followed the clues to find Po Wen's whereabouts, her heart would still be roasting on both sides of the fire, and she might have died of anxiety one day.

Thinking that all of this was Xu Xi's fault, the eldest lady was really sad and proud.

What makes her sad is that this child should have had a good life, but she suffered too much in the first fourteen years; what makes her proud is that even without careful upbringing, she still grew up to be a child who is better than many people.

"It's true." The old lady also sighed with emotion, "It's this kid who deserves the best."

The eldest lady had no intention of saying this. She stood up and said, "Mom, Cai Die should be here, so I will go back first."

She still has a lot of things to do. When she came here just now, she was just pretending to act for Wei.

"Go ahead. If there is anything important, please let me know in time." The old lady warned.

The eldest lady hurried back to the main courtyard of the main house and saw Aunt Zhou waiting there.

"How's the arrangement going?" she asked.

Aunt Zhou smiled and said: "Madam, don't worry, everything is ready. Isn't it getting dark now? We will know the result soon."

Only then did the eldest lady smile.

It's okay to go back and forth. Wei's methods are too vicious. She, Zhu, is not that cruel. It's not good to attack Wei before getting the evidence, so as not to harm innocent people. But use some small tricks to keep Wei busy.

If you are busy, stop staring at Xu Xi and stumbling over Xu Xi. She can still calmly wait for the day when the Marquis comes back.

Caixia came in and asked the eldest lady: "Madam, the hot water is ready. Do you want to take a bath?"

The eldest lady waved her hand: "No hurry, wait for now. You can use the hot water first, and then ask someone to bring it after I give my order." After thinking about it, she ordered them, "Just take off the hairpin ring for me first.

"

By this time, everyone had almost gone to bed, and she was still dressed neatly. Wouldn't it make people suspicious if she went to the theater later? Even if it was guessed that she was the one who set up the game, the evidence couldn't be left behind!

…

As for the Wei family, after Zhao Yuanliang went to the outer academy, Grandma Li hurried back and told the Wei family the news she had learned from Zhao Yuanliang and Rongxi Hall.

"You mean, that girl has been living in the academy during this period and will not come back?" Wei's face changed, and her brows furrowed tightly.

"That's what Qingfeng told the second master and the old lady." Nanny Li said.

"You all get out." Mrs. Wei sent all the maids out, and then whispered: "Do you think they will find anything?"

She just wanted to bring Xu Xi to the Wei family, but these people reacted so strongly that they even let Xu Xi hide in the academy. What a strange idea.

"Isn't it possible?" Nanny Li said, "Looking at today's behavior, the fifth girl must have made a temporary decision. Madam is not at ease, you can send someone to Beining to find out the authenticity."

In her opinion, Xu Xi had a very strong opinion against the second lady. The second lady said she would take her back to her parents' home, and the old lady agreed. In order not to go to the Wei family, Xu Xi killed her first and then made an excuse. She found an excuse to stay in the academy and not come back. This is too normal.

.

The child even tried to hang herself in order not to return to the Marquis Mansion; as soon as she came back, she quarreled with her own mother and even lived in the Pinming House. What couldn't she do?

But even though she was the most valued person in the Wei family, she didn't dare to say this.

"I want to inquire more about it," said Wei, "You ask someone to call Mother Wang over."

Nanny Li went out and gave instructions. Not long after, a woman in her forties hurried in and saluted Mrs. Wei.

Seven years ago, the Wei family suddenly sent two shops to the Wei family. Along with the shops, there were several servants and the business being done in the shops.

Wei's mother said that when the Wei family got married, she was unable to buy a decent dowry for her because of the poor family situation. Now that the Wei family's situation has improved, she built two additional shops for her daughter as a dowry.

Regardless of whether this statement is true or not, the old lady and the eldest lady naturally cannot stop the parents from giving money to their daughters.

What's more, the two shops were registered and transferred in the Yamen and became the dowry of the Wei family. A hundred years from now, the two shops will still be in the name of Zhao Jingan and become the property of the Zhao family. This matter is no matter what for the Zhao family.

It's a good thing rather than a bad thing, so the old lady and the eldest lady have no reason to stop it.

Mother Wang's husband, Wang Gui, was the shopkeeper of a shop given to him by the Wei family. Their family of four were transferred directly from the Wei family to the Suiping Hou Mansion as companions.

Whether it is the old lady Tang, the eldest lady Zhu, or the third lady Su, they all have their own dowry shops, as well as companions brought from their natal families. These dowries and servants are the final guarantee for a woman to establish herself in this world.

, the deed of sale of the escort is in their own hands.

Naturally, the deeds between Wang Gui's family and three other families were in the hands of the Wei family.

At that time, Grandma Li was still in charge of the second house. Not long after she took possession of the two shops, Mrs. Wei said that Grandma Li was old and had to wait on her, so she had no energy to take care of the general affairs, but Mrs. Wang was knowledgeable, shrewd and capable.

Mrs. Wang was transferred to the inner courtyard of the second house as a steward.

From then on, the Wei family had manpower at their disposal outside. Mother Wang went to the inner courtyard every day to listen to errands, and then went back to stay at her home which was only an alley away from the Marquis' Mansion. She communicated well with the inside and outside, allowing the Wei family to do everything.

Very convenient.

"You go home tonight and ask Wang Gui to take two people to Beining County early tomorrow morning to check on the situation of the fifth girl at the academy. She said that Mrs. Xiao, the head of Qingyang County, has opened a new bank there, and it will be opening soon.

At the opening, Mrs. Xiao asked her to draw a picture of jewelry. She doesn't plan to go home these days. Ask Wang Gui to check whether it is true. Also, inquire about the time when the fifth girl usually goes in and out of the academy, and whether she is particularly close to anyone.
