Chapter 4 Call Me

Feng Ying asked Mrs. Zhuang to buy ten strong maids and ten capable servants to guard the house.

"Don't be stingy with your money, buy the best ones, and buy them in secret so that no one can take advantage of you and send someone in."

She thought for a moment and said, "Go ask my fifth brother to help buy it."

Mrs. Zhuang hesitated: "But I don't mind spending the money. You don't have much money left."

Although the Li family was an official in the imperial court, it was a leisurely position, and they were a side branch of the aristocratic family. In fact, they had no money at all. Feng Ying had been married for ten years, helping the Li family pay off their gambling debts and buying real estate, spending most of her dowry.

There is very little money left now.

Li Jidao is no longer sleepy when talking about money, because she has money.

She is the only daughter in nine generations. Her ancestors all had their own small treasury, which was finally passed down to her.

Only she knows where the money is kept.

Even if she is someone else now, she has never married and has no descendants, the money is still hers, and only she can earn it.

[If only I could move, isn't it just money? Not to mention buying a few people, I wouldn't be short of money even if I bought the entire country. ]

Feng Ying: ...

With these words, we have to find a way to get Ah Jian to move.

Feng Ying said to Mrs. Zhuang, "Don't worry about this. I still have the last sum of money I have prepared for my three children's marriages. Now I have to take out a part of it for emergency use."

Since the Li family treated her as an outsider, the children's wedding expenses would naturally be paid by the family, and they were not hers alone.

She can no longer be so open-hearted to the Li family. The Li family is not worth it.

We need to catch the murderer first. Li Sanniang would not do it on her own. She must have had the help of an insider. If they don't find the murderer, they will all be in danger.

This is not a question of accountability.

Then we had to find a way to cure Ah Jian’s illness, which was the main thing.

Feng Ying handed a seal, a receipt and a silver key to Zhuang's mother and said, "Go to the bank and get them, then bring the person back as quickly and quietly as possible."

Mrs. Zhuang nodded and said, "I'll take the stone with me."

Shitou is the son of Mrs. Zhuang. Her husband died early, leaving behind only a son, who is also under the control of Feng Ying.

Feng Ying nodded. The stone man was a simple and honest person who could be trusted.

Before leaving, Mrs. Zhuang asked, "Madam, could it be Hongyu who did it? She is the one who takes care of you. If it weren't for her, why hasn't she come back yet?"

Feng Ying frowned. If it was Hongyu, she would really have no one to confide in.

Hongyu and Bixi were both maids she brought from her mother's home. When they first came, the two children were only seven or eight years old, and she brought them up personally.

Both children were orphans without parents, whom she picked up from the road. They were both good-looking and had similar outstanding qualities.

At first, she was served by two little maids. Later, when she had Ah Jian and the two maids grew up, she let the two maids take care of Ah Jian personally.

However, two years ago, a military general came to the family. Bixi fell in love with him at first sight and eloped with him. When the old lady of the Li family found out, she asked her to go to the government to file a complaint and want to kill Bixi. She thought about it and took out ten guan of money and two taels of pepper to give to Bixi as her dowry, and also released Bixi's nationality guan.

From then on, there was only Hongyu left by his side.

It can be said that she has given redemption to ruby ​​and tourmaline. No matter how powerful Li Sanniang is, she should not be able to buy ruby, right?

But it wasn't Hongyu. She went to see the old lady and handed the child to Hongyu. Where was Hongyu?

"Madam, madam, how is Ajian?" Not long after Mrs. Zhuang left, a maid with pretty face and a cold and arrogant temperament, who looked like the young lady, walked in.

She was very anxious, but when she saw Li Jidao lying well on the bed, her anxious look instantly turned into disgust.

"I heard that Ajian put the beans in her nostrils. How did they come out?" she frowned.

Feng Ying had sharp eyes and saw the jade bracelet that Hongyu was trying to hide in her sleeve while she was talking.

There was also a flash of hesitation in Feng Ying's eyes.

Is it really her?

Li Jidao, who was lying on the bed, letting Feng Ying pat his belly to soothe him, had opened his eyes since Hongyu came in.

This girl has too much white in her eyes, is rebellious, and has betrayed her master all her life. There is no way I will stay by his side.

[Whoever I send this ungrateful person to will suffer misfortune. If I had an enemy, I would send her to him! ]

Li Jidao's eyes moved. It turned out that she actually had several enemies.

[First give it to him, then give it to her, with lightning and sparks all the way, let their unlucky mother open the door for their unlucky child, and be unlucky all the way home. ]

Feng Ying: ...

He looked at his daughter, then at the whites of Hongyu's eyes, which were really too much and seemed so ruthless.

No wonder people say Hongyu is aloof.

It seems that Hongyu has something to do with Ah Jian's attack.

Hongyu didn't notice the scrutiny in Fengying's eyes and continued to question Fengying: "Is Jian okay? Is this all right?"

It seems like he really doesn't want Jian to get better.

Feng Ying had never felt the maid's hatred for Ah Jian so carefully before, and now her anger grew: "What were you doing just now? Ah Jian was almost killed by someone, how dare you leave her alone under your eaves?"

Hongyu still didn't notice the anger in Fengying's eyes. In her eyes, Fengying was just a fool.

She pointed outside and said, "I went to deliver the shoe pattern to you, Madam. You ordered me to do that. I didn't want anything to happen to Jian, but it has already happened. You can't blame me, can you?"

How can this be possible!

Feng Ying clenched his fists angrily: "You are the one who takes care of Ah Jian, who else should I blame if not you?"

"Everyone is usually very careful, knowing that Jian is unconscious. Beans and other things are very dangerous, and no one dares to eat them. If they are eaten, they will be crushed. How did this bean get into Jian's nose now?"

"How come you just happened to go out at this time? You said it's not your fault, but I said it was you who let it go. You wanted to harm Jian!"

Hongyu only then felt Fengying's anger, but she was not afraid. Instead, she said aggrievedly: "My lady, you are angry with your husband again, so you are taking it out on me?"

"My Lord doesn't like A Jian. My Lord has already told you to take care of A Jian. You are the one who is making things difficult for yourself. Now that you are wronged, you are taking it out on us servants?"

[Fuck, why are you talking to her? Why don’t you hit her? Hit her now! Are your paws dog paws? Is it illegal to hit her? Hit her! ]

right!

Hit her!

Feng Ying was stunned for a moment, anger boiling in his heart. He raised his hand and slapped Hongyu hard.

"You heartless ungrateful bastard, I picked you up so that you can take care of Ah Jian. Without Ah Jian, what use would I have for you? Without this idiot, you would have rotted on the street, died, been sold, and rotted away. Do you still think she is useless?"

"Without Jane, who are you?"

Sure enough, I felt much better after the fight.

Li Jidao lay down peacefully [This is more like it, otherwise I will be so mad at you. ]

Feng Ying: “…”

It has to be said that Jian is a bit combative.

"Don't you know what you are doing? If you say bad things about A Jian in front of me, I will sell you out now." Feng Ying became more motivated after being encouraged.

This was the first time she had lost her temper since she married into the Li family.
