The Lai family also relied on the Rongguo mansion, pulled the tiger skin and flag, pretended to be tiger power, and did a lot of crimes outside.
Aunt Lai cried to the old lady, "old lady, please save the poor daughter and son-in-law of the old slave."
Just after Mrs. Jia woke up from her nap and drank tea to moisten her throat, she heard aunt Lai's voice, "what's the matter? Crying?"
Aunt Lai knelt on the ground, added oil and vinegar, and cried, "madam, the evil woman of the sun family whom my uncle married is really not a good thing. She actually sold my daughter and son-in-law. It depends on the owner to beat a dog, but the Lin family is good. It doesn't give the old lady face at all. My poor daughter and son-in-law are still in prison!"
When Mrs. Jia heard this, she suddenly got angry and dizzy. "This Sun family woman is really not a good thing. No wonder she had such a reputation before. Do you know why they were punished?"
Aunt Lai choked and said: "They say they are not dedicated to managing my aunt's dowry. My daughter and son-in-law are not competent, but they are honest. Otherwise, they will not be regarded as my aunt's escort. But now they have been working hard for so many years, loyal, without credit and hard work! But now they are treated like this. Madam, you have pity on my daughter and save their family."
Mrs. Jia nodded, "it depends on everyone. Don't worry. I'll write to Lin Ruhai and ask him how long our min'er has been away. Is the tea cold? Even if my daughter is gone, Rongguo mansion is still there and Daiyu is still there. Where will he put our Rongguo mansion?"
Seeing that the old lady was flushed with anger, the mandarin duck quickly comforted, "I'll calm down and wait for someone to ask and find out. There must be justice. If the old lady is angry, who will make the decision for the servants of Rongguo mansion?"
Yuanyang's cousin and sister-in-law also work in the Lin family, so she also learned that her cousin and sister-in-law were punished.
In addition, those letters were sent to the capital by her parents in Jinling. She hopes that this matter can be handled properly.
Jia Laofu was so popular that he immediately sent someone to Yangzhou to interrogate Lin Ruhai and rescue the ladies detained in the government.
For a time, the atmosphere of Jia's house was very strange. Lin Daiyu kept her door closed, but she kept thinking about it in her heart and looked forward to the early arrival of her father's letter.
Mrs. Wang, who lives in Rongxi hall, is looking at the account book. After calculation, she frowns slightly, "Zhou Rui's family, why is the income this month much less than in the past? Didn't Yangzhou send any silver?"
Zhou Rui's family was embarrassed when they heard this, and then replied, "madam, I just wanted to report to you! My cousin is in charge of my aunt's shop. He has been working hard these years, but now he has been escorted to the government by Uncle Lin's remarried daughter-in-law! The charge is embezzling the money and silver of the owner's family!"
Zhou Rui's family knows that his cousin's ability is very good. He is in charge of the shop and can earn tens of thousands of liang of silver every year, but his book is flat.
Some of the silver was left, but most of the silver was sent to Mrs. Wang.
Over the years, she has received a lot of filial piety from her cousin's daughter-in-law, so she has a good life.
I just didn't expect Lin Ruhai's new wife to marry again. The means were so cruel that a servant broke out as soon as she arrived in Yangzhou.
