Wishing You Eternal Happiness Chapter 687: ：Private affair

Latest website: When such words are heard in the ears, no matter whether they are true or not, they are like pouring a bowl of arsenic into the stomach, making people stare until they die, and then throw them into a mass grave to feed wild dogs.

Even if he knew that the lady was kind-hearted, he would not let her die.

But Fennel still felt scared.

The room was so quiet that you could hear a pindrop——

Yang Shuwan was obviously shocked by these words. A flush suddenly appeared on her withered face, and a strong excitement hit her brain.

Yu Jianjia lowered his head and wiped away tears.

Every year in the Yu Mansion, servants are released from the house for various reasons. Although Mrs. Lai is Baiye's grandmother, she does not take Mrs. Lai seriously.

Lai Lai is a good person, so Baiye chose her to serve her in the house. Lai Lai relied on her past service to the old lady and went to the village to thank her.

That day, like today, she was sitting in the main room, with Mr. Xie's portrait hanging on the wall.

After Mrs. Lai entered the house, she did not salute her immediately. Instead, she glanced at Mr. Xie's portrait on the wall with a very strange look in her eyes, which made her suspicious.

The seventh aunt had mentioned the matter of Mrs. Lai to her before. When Mrs. Xie came in, Mrs. Lai was still waiting in the house.

The old lady was in poor health. As soon as Mr. Xie came in, she asked Mr. Xie to help the housekeeper.

Yu Jianjia had heard that Mrs. Xie was a powerful person, with a clear sense of rewards and punishments like Yu Youyao, and a kind-hearted person. Even though Mrs. Xie had been dead for many years, there were still old servants in the house who remembered her kindness.

Mr. Lai works under Mr. Xie, and does not say that she has any master-servant relationship with Mr. Xie. If she stares at people's portraits like this, anyone with a discerning eye will know that there is something wrong with it.

After Mrs. Lai kowtowed to her to thank her, she quietly asked Fenxiang to follow Mrs. Lai.

Sure enough!

When Mrs. Lai arrived at a place where no one was around, she said "Bah" and spat a splash of thick phlegm on the ground, cursing: "Bah, shameless little bitch, relying on such a cheap look, seduced Brother-in-law, you broke your shoes, you are a short-lived ghost..."

Afterwards, after a series of curses and lamentations, Yu Jianjia pieced together the truth about Mrs. Lai's leaving the house.

Mr. Lai was serving in the mansion back then. Although she was a bit quick and efficient in her work, her hands and feet were a little unclean. It seemed that because her brother was seriously ill, she stole the jewelry that the master didn't wear and pawned it off as money, which was discovered by Mr. Xie.

After all, he is a servant in the old lady's house, so Mr. Xie doesn't want to make a fuss.

Ms. Xie was not a cruel person. She interrogated Granny Lai privately and found out that her brother was seriously ill. She did not report the matter to the official, nor did she punish Granny Lai. She just put Granny Lai on the list of people who could leave the house after the contract was concluded.

To the outside world, Mrs. Lai's brother was ill. Mrs. Lai was worried about her nephew and voluntarily terminated the contract with the government.

Because of this, no one in the house knows the truth.

From Yu Jianjia's perspective, Xie's move was considered very benevolent.

The state has national laws and the family has family rules. It is understandable that Mrs. Lai stole the master's jewelry, but it is wrong. She should not continue to serve in the house.

Ms. Xie didn't do anything right and helped Mrs. Lai cover up the matter of stealing things.

Lai Lai finally got out of the house after expiring her contract. With experience in serving officials, it was easy to find other jobs, which gave Lai a way to survive.

It’s just that, after hearing Mrs. Lai insult Mrs. Xie like this, I think she not only doesn’t appreciate Mrs. Xie, but also holds a grudge against her.

So, Yu Jianjia was skeptical about "hooking up with my brother-in-law".

But it is inevitable that I will take this to heart.

When talking to the seventh aunt, she intentionally or unintentionally asked about the words of her aunt, Xie. The seventh aunt just thought that she respected her aunt, so she would naturally say something.

Later she learned from Aunt Seven that after her second uncle Yu Zongshen won the second place in the rankings, he went to Quanzhou. With the help of the Xie Mansion, he wrote "Haitu Ce", which later served as a candidate for the cabinet. A solid foundation was laid.

The reason why Xie Mansion and Yu Mansion got married was also due to this reason.

It was only then that Yu Jianjia realized something was wrong.

Actually, what happened to the second uncle back then was not a secret in the house.

It’s just that the old lady didn’t mention this. Yang Shuwan was the step-in-law and knew little about it. The eldest and second bedroom had separated early. She only knew some fragmentary things and didn’t think about it.

When Aunt Qi mentioned this, Yu Jianjia suddenly realized that the person who had a close relationship with the Xie family was actually his second uncle.

The second uncle has stayed in Quanzhou for more than a year and has been in and out of Xie's house. It is impossible not to know Mr. Xie.

Then what Mrs. Lai said is probably not groundless.

Yu Jianjia's face turned pale with fright, but there was a secret excitement and excitement in his heart.

After that, she used the excuse that Mrs. Lai had once served in the old lady's house, and hired a doctor to treat her illness. She also transferred Baiye to serve him closely.

Lai Lai and Baiye are also grateful.

She took advantage of this kindness to inquire about Mr. Xie's affairs in a circumstantial manner.

Mr. Lai just thinks that she respects her aunt deeply, and if she wants to know something about her aunt, she will inevitably tell more.

It's just that Mrs. Lai has served in the house, and she is very tight-lipped. No matter how much she inquires, she says nothing about Mr. Xie and her second uncle.

However, she still got some useful information.

Mrs. Lai has a grudge against Mr. Xie. No matter how cautious and strict she is, when she mentions Mr. Xie, she will inevitably reveal her resentment towards Mr. Xie, and there will inevitably be some omissions in her words.

These are just words and phrases, so detailed that it is difficult for ordinary people to associate them with "private relationships."

But!

Yu Jianjia was a "careful person" by nature. He broke apart every word of Mrs. Lai's words, and even the tone and demeanor when she spoke.

It was finally confirmed that Mr. Xie and his second uncle had known each other since they were in Quanzhou.

She couldn't help but guess!

The second uncle was born second in the rankings, and also entered the Imperial Academy. He will be a minister in the cabinet in the future. How can he marry a merchant girl?

Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce were the last class of merchants.

If the second uncle marries Mr. Xie~IndoMTL.com~, it will inevitably lead to bad luck.

He is the legitimate son of an aristocratic family, born second in the imperial examination, and is the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty. He has many good names, but it is difficult to overcome the stigma of being "obsessed with women". Xie will also become the biggest obstacle in his career.

From a mother's point of view, whether it is for her son's future or her son's reputation, it is impossible for the old lady to just watch her son marry a merchant girl.

Mr. Lai is a cautious person. This matter is definitely not groundless. Even if she does not have any evidence, she must know some inside information.

She brought Mrs. Lai into the house because she wanted to be kind to Mrs. Lai. She carefully observed Mrs. Lai and found out the matter clearly. With the handle on Yu Youyao in her hand, she would have an easier life in the future.

But plans cannot keep up with changes.

My father brought Dr. Xie back from Zhejiang. The temptation of Dr. Xie's "Blood Yin Yin" was too great. If he wanted to raise Yu Youyao as a Yin Yin, he had to make his father give up Yu Youyao first.

Yu Youyao is the eldest daughter, and she has been granted the title of Princess of Shaoyi County. The Yu Mansion cannot give up on her easily.
