Chapter 184
Lin Yuan was stunned by this sudden question.
She obviously didn't expect Lin Ye to be so sober and even know how to ask her questions!
For a moment, there was no answer. He only spat out one word blankly, "Huh?"
Lin Ye was very patient, "You just said that it was the maids in your yard who told nonsense. How did you know that I went to Nian Nian after listening to their nonsense?"
Lin Ye admitted that he was somewhat suspicious of Yuan'er at this moment.
If Ji Yue hadn't arrived today, then he would have really misunderstood Nian Nian, and he still wouldn't know what kind of trouble would be caused in front of her small house.
Nian Nian has already broken ties with the Hou Mansion and moved out. If he gets into trouble again today, won't the love between their brother and sister really be severed?
Of course, he didn't want to speculate on Yuan'er with such vicious thoughts.
Can……
It's all such a coincidence, isn't it?
Why did the little maid make irresponsible remarks when he was outside the door?
Lin Yuan didn't react until now, "I, I also heard the maids talking nonsense, and I heard that brother walked out angrily, so I wondered if he heard it..."
This argument is absolutely justified.
In the hearts of everyone in the Hou Mansion, she has always been a kind person. I wonder what's so strange about the maids' nonsense?
However, this was the first time that Xu was questioned by Lin Ye, and Lin Yuan's reaction was still a little panicked.
Mrs. Lin and Marquis Lin couldn't help but glance at each other, their eyebrows slightly twisted.
Lin Ye also nodded thoughtfully, "I see, the Hou Mansion cannot tolerate the maids who serve as masters. I will make the decision to send all the maids out of your house. Don't worry, brother will send someone else to take care of you. ”
If this matter really has nothing to do with Yuan'er, then driving away the maids who like to gossip is the best way to protect Yuan'er.
But if it was really Yuan'er's instigation, his treatment could be regarded as a warning to Yuan'er.
Lin Ye didn't think there was any problem with his handling.
However, Lin Yuan's tears fell all of a sudden.
She had been crying all night, and her eye circles were very red and swollen. Now that she was crying, she looked even more pitiful. "But, there are not many maids in my courtyard. They all come back from me." Xiaocui, who has been following me in the Hou Mansion, has already left, and I want to drive them away too. I, I..."
Before he finished speaking, tears were rolling down like broken pearls.
After all, Mrs. Lin still felt sorry for her daughter and hurriedly stepped forward to protect her, "Okay, okay, your brother was just joking. It's rare to know such good news today. Everyone should be happy!"
Marquis Lin also agreed, nodded and said, "It is indeed wrong to arrange the master, but the maids in Yuan'er's yard are still loyal. In a few days, if you marry into the Xiao family, you will have to go with two of them. In this way, this time Once they return, they will deduct a year's salary and will not be kicked out of the house for the time being. "
Hearing this, Lin Yuan just sobbed and looked at Lin Ye cautiously, as if waiting for Lin Ye to nod.
She could still make up for the monthly salary deduction, which was better than being kicked out of the house.
Lin Ye couldn't bear to watch Lin Yuan cry, not to mention that Lin Yuan was looking at him like this, clearly waiting for his answer.
Yuan'er listened to him after all.
Thinking this, Lin Ye nodded.
A year's monthly salary is not a small amount. I hope those maids can have a long memory and stop talking nonsense like this in the future!
Seeing this, Lin Yuan said with tears in her eyes, "Thank you, brother. Don't worry, brother, I will teach them well when I go back and I won't let them talk nonsense again!"
Most of the dissatisfaction in Lin Ye's heart had already dissipated, and he looked at Lin Yuan with satisfaction and smiled, "Be good."
It wasn't until she saw the smile on Lin Ye's lips that Lin Yuan felt relieved.
Mrs. Lin hugged Lin Yuan and walked back, "Now that you don't have to be an equal wife, don't cry anymore. Otherwise, what will you do if your eyes are red and swollen on the wedding day?"
Marquis Lin followed behind and said, "The Xiao family is afraid that Xiao He and Xiao Heng will get married on the same day. The imperial edict has been issued and the wedding date will not be too far away. Madam, it's time to prepare dowries for the two girls!"
Mrs. Lin smiled and nodded repeatedly, "It's natural. Although Nian Nian has moved out, she is still the adopted daughter of my Marquis. What's more, there is the emperor's holy decree of marriage in front of me. I don't dare to neglect it." ”
Hearing this, a low emotion flashed across Lin Yuan's eyes.
But I don’t know if Mrs. Lin saw it, and I just heard Mrs. Lin continue, "But after all, Yuan'er is the legitimate daughter of our Hou family, not to mention Xiao Heng is now favored by the saint. Anyway, this We can’t let Xiao Heng lose face in terms of dowry, let alone let our Hou family lose face. Yuan’er, don’t worry, your dowry will definitely not be worse than your sister’s.”
He would even be a head taller than Qiao Nian.
Who told Qiao Nian to be just an adopted daughter?
But unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, a voice sounded from the other side, "Don't worry about the eldest lady's dowry, Lord Marquis and Madam."
Everyone followed the sound and saw that Grandma Su was wearing ordinary people's clothes and holding a baggage in her hand.
Lin Ye was a little surprised, "Aunt Su is leaving now?"
I saw Nanny Su smiling and nodding, "Yes, the old lady's five or seven have passed, and it's time for the old slave to leave!"
She used to depend on the old lady, but now that the old lady has taken the first step, it is natural for her to leave.
Lord Lin and Madam Lin had tried to persuade Nanny Su to leave several times before, but Nanny Su was determined to leave, so they didn't say much at the moment.
Thinking about Nanny Su's words just now, Madam Lin was a little confused and asked, "Madam, what does it mean that we don't have to worry about Nian Nian's dowry?"
Madam Su smiled more and more, "The old lady had given all her dowry to the eldest lady before she died! The eldest lady can now afford a decent dowry, so the marquis and the lady only need to worry about the second lady's dowry."
"What did you say!" Lord Lin was shocked, "My mother gave all her dowry to Nian Nian?"
Wouldn't that be equivalent to giving away most of the marquis's mansion?
He had originally thought of taking out half of the old lady's dowry to supplement Yuan'er's dowry, but what should he do now?
Mrs. Lin also showed a bit of panic in her eyes. She had thought that with the old lady's dowry, it would be no problem to buy both daughters a grand house, but now... this, what should I do?
Lin Ye was also shocked. He didn't know how much his grandmother gave to Qiao Nian, but he had heard that his grandmother's dowry was extremely generous and envied by all the women in Beijing.
Unexpectedly, it was all given to Qiao Nian!
Lin Yuan lowered her head and hid the hatred in her eyes.
The old lady actually gave so much money to Qiao Nian!
Why?
Those were the things of the Marquis' Mansion, and they should all be hers!
Su Mama naturally saw what everyone was thinking, but she was still smiling, "Yes, the old lady gave it to the eldest lady in front of the old slave when she was most sober. After all, the old lady's last wish was to hope that the eldest lady could be safe and happy."
She deliberately said that the things were sent out when the old lady was sober, and she also said that she was a witness, so as to prevent the Marquis' Mansion from making trouble at that time!
Seeing that Lord Lin and Madam Lin were both stunned, Nanny Su smiled and bowed, "Then, I will leave first."
After saying that, she turned around and left the Marquis' Mansion and walked towards Qiao Nian's small house.
The Marquis' Mansion family was left alone, in a mess in the wind...
