Chapter 176 New Year's Eve Dinner 4
As soon as Xia Chuanyuan heard this, he first turned his head to look at Xie, then turned to Xia Mengning and asked, "Ning'er, what's going on?"
Xia Mengning looked at Xia Chuanyuan, turned her head to look at Xie, and said anxiously, "Grandma, that's not what Ning'er means. Why do you have to force Ning'er to say it? Do you think Ning'er is such a person who treats sisters so harshly?"
With that, there was a look of panic on his face, looking at Xie eagerly, as if hoping that Xie could not mention this matter again.
When Xia Mengran saw Xia Mengning's posture, he couldn't help but feel happy. The first time he saw Xia Mengning was at a loss. At this time, his father was here. If his father knew that Xia Mengning used the power of the housekeeper to treat the others in the house, he could behave more vividly. Dad was furious. Next, it will definitely take over the power of Xia Mengning's housekeeper.
Thinking of this, Xia Mengran also hurriedly squeezed out two tears and looked at Xie and said, "Grandma, don't force the third sister. The third sister is not intentional. After all... After all, everyone likes this beautiful satin, and the third sister is now the direct daughter, but... doesn't deserve it..."
Xie was angry and looked at Xia Mengning's face. She knew that she was winning now, so she was a little sad and said, "Ning'er, you are still quibbling in front of the facts. Since you don't say it, then I've agreed. Why are you wearing a precious brocade satin, but you are wearing a streamer satin from a few years ago?"
Hearing this, Xia Chuanyuan turned his head to look at Xia Mengning, carefully looked at the material on Xia Mengning's body, looked at Xia Mengran again, and frowned, "Ning'er..."
Before he finished speaking, Xia Mengning suddenly stood up and looked straight at Xie, who was sitting at the top, and said, "Dad, you don't have to ask your daughter. If you want to know the truth of the matter, ask the housekeeper to bring all the accounts since your daughter is in charge of the family and show it to your father and grandmother."
Jiu'er had already waited aside. Hearing Xia Mengning say this, she hurriedly turned her head and ran out. After a while, she saw Li Yan coming in with the account. Xia Chuanyuan said, "Bag it up and let me have a look."
Seeing that Xia Mengning really took over the account, Xie and Xia Mengran were a little surprised, but thinking of Xia Mengning's panicked expression just now, Xie still calmed down and carefully stared at Xia Chuanyuan's expression.
Xia Chuanyuan took the account book and looked at it carefully. The accounts on it were clear at a glance. Each expenditure was clearly written. Xia Chuanyuan looked at it, and all of them were normal expenses. At the end, Xia Chuanyuan saw that the total expenditure of this month was much less than the previous few months. Xie saw Xia Chuanyuan frowned and thought it was He found something wrong and hurriedly said, "How's it going?"
Xia Chuanyuan closed the account book and put it aside and said, "There is nothing wrong with it. Instead, it saved a lot of money compared with the previous few months."
When Xie heard this, he could not believe it: "Really?"
Before Xia Chuanyuan spoke, Xia Mengning stood up and walked to the middle. Fu said, "Dad and grandma, please say a few words."
With that, Xia Mengning bit her lip, and her eyes were stained with a thin layer of fog. "Ning'er knows that she has no talent and no virtue, and she should not be in charge of the family, but her father trusts his daughter and allows her daughter to help her mother from the side. The daughter is very grateful to her father's trust. Since she is in charge of the housekeeper, her daughter has strictly abide by the rules, as small as a needle. The line is all carefully calculated. It is reconciled every day until the middle of the night, but I don't want the money in the house to be clear for no reason.
After stating this, Xia Mengning turned her head again, looked at Xia Chuanyuan beside her, and sighed. There seemed to be an inextricable grievance between her eyebrows. "But today, my daughter came here to say hi to her grandmother, but she was suspected by her grandmother and her fifth sister that her daughter was a younger generation and could not be with her grandmother. Fight, the fifth sister is a junior. If the daughter fights with reason, she will also be accused of being harsh to the concubine. The daughter has all kinds of patience, but the grandmother and the fifth sister want to force her daughter into a desperate situation. The daughter is... really..."
With that, Xia Mengning seemed to be unable to help it. She lowered her head to wipe her tears. In a blink of an eye, she raised her head and looked at Xie and Xia Chuanyuan and said, "Grandma said that Ning'er's clothing is Hehe Weaving brocade, which is much better than that of the fifth sister. Housekeeper Li, let's take a look at the material of me and my fifth sister. What is it? "
Li Yan nodded, stepped forward to look, and turned around and said, "Master, what Miss Wu is wearing is indeed the best satin in the house. Because of the preciousness, this material was only sent to Miss Wu and Aunt Wei's room."
Xia Mengran was stunned and said in a blink of an eye, "You are talking nonsense. What the third sister wears is obviously brocade. How can you say that this is the most expensive satin in the house? Is it the third sister in charge? Does Housekeeper Li dare not tell the truth?
When Li Yan heard the words, he immediately got up and said, "Miss Wu has no evidence. Don't throw dirty water on me casually. I have been a housekeeper in the house for so many years. The innocence is obvious to all."
Xia Chuanyuan looked at Xia Mengran and frowned, "Sister Li, the clothes on the third lady?"
Li Yan hurriedly hugged Xia Chuanyuan and said, "Master, I don't know what the satin on the third lady's body is, but the records in the account room are in your hands. You can have a look for yourself. We have never bought such a precious brocade in our house."
As soon as Xie Shi heard this, her eyes turned around and she felt a little abnormal. Just as she was about to open her mouth, she heard a 'plop' sound. Jiu'er beside Xia Mengning knelt on the ground and shouted, "Master, old lady, this is not the case."
As Jiu'er said, Xia Mengning slightly raised her phoenix eyes and looked at Xie Shi sitting on it. The contempt and complacency in her eyes flashed. They all came to this point. Can she still let you go?
Xia Chuanyuan became more and more confused and said, "What the hell is going on? Say it quickly..."
Jiu'er hurriedly kowtowed and said, "To the master's words, this material was sent by the prince. It was prepared for the third lady to go to the palace today to enjoy fireworks. The third lady knew that she was the only one in the house who had received the imperial gift, so she told the maidservant not to say it casually, because Miss Wu... Miss Five and Miss Third He is quite old, and he will definitely like to see fireworks, but this is the emperor's order, so the third lady can't change, so she asked the maidservant not to go out to talk nonsense. When I went out today, I deliberately wore an ordinary jacket just to look plain. Don't let Miss Wu notice it. I'm afraid that Miss Wu will be sad..." /P>
After listening to Jiu'er's words, everyone looked at Xia Mengning and saw that Xia Mengning was wearing an ordinary jacket and combing her usual hair. If it hadn't been for the beautiful face and refined temperament, if it were someone else's dress, I'm afraid she would be quickly submerged in the crowd.
Look at Xia Mengran again. Although the streamer satin is not as expensive as Hehezhi brocade, it is also unaffordable for ordinary families. Looking at Xia Mengran's head, a whole set of gold-inlaid head, the whole person is luxurious and glorious. Compared with Xia Mengning, it is a little vulgar.
Xia Chuanyuan looked at it and slapped the table fiercely, "Okay, thanks to Ning'er's painstaking efforts, you are so suspicious of her like this, it doesn't matter!"
Xia Mengran was shocked. He didn't know how the winning situation became like this. Xia Mengning stood there and sobbed. Seeing Xia Mengran's unbelievable face, he secretly threw a proud look, touched Xia Mengning's eyes, and then contacted the cause and effect. Only then did Xia Mengran know. He was actually put on by Xia Mengning. From the beginning, Xia Mengning did it on purpose.
Thinking of this, Xia Mengran became angry. Looking at Xia Chuanyuan's expression, he knew that his position in his father's heart had become worse and worse, and all this was because of Xia Mengning!
Xia Mengran was overwhelmed by anger. She stood up without hesitation and looked at Xia Chuanyuan and said, "How can Dad say that? All this was done by the third sister. She deliberately dressed so ordinaryly and forced me to expose her. All this was done by the third sister. Dad, you have to believe your daughter..."
Xia Chuanyuan looked at Xia Mengran, who was crying and shouted, "Are you stunned? You mean that Ning'er deliberately let you misunderstand her and then clarify yourself? Ning'er's painstaking efforts, how can it become a wolf's heart and a dog's lung in your mouth? Ning'er cares about your face. It's because you have a ghost in your heart that insults Ning'er. Ning'er is your sister. Is there a trace of respect in your tone?
Xia Mengran shook his head, knelt on the ground and said, "Dad, you have to trust your daughter..."
Xia Chuanyuan waved his hand annoyance, "Don't be obstinate. If so, go to the ancestral hall and kneel down. When will you reflect and come out again?"
Xia Mengran looked at Xia Chuanyuan in disbelief. What? Did you hear it wrong? Dad actually let himself go to the ancestral hall and kneel down. Dad never punished himself. Today, he actually punished himself for Xia Mengning?
Xia Chuanyuan is gentle and not an irritable master. He used to spoil these daughters. Of course, that was without involving interests and future, otherwise, Xia Mengning would not have married Xia Mengning hastily in the last life.
It's just that Xia Mengran thought that Xia Chuanyuan really loved him. After all, Xia Mengran had always been clever and docile in the past. Although he was not as spoiled by Xia Chuanyuan like Xia Mengxi and Xia Mengyou, Xia Chuanyuan never lost her share every time he had something good. Now that he fell from heaven to hell, how could Xia Mengran To bear this sense of difference?
Thinking of this, Xia Mengran felt more and more aggrieved and couldn't help crying loudly, "Dad, after all, it's because my daughter is a concubine, and the third sister is now a direct child, and she has a marriage contract with the son, so her father doesn't want to believe his daughter... Everything is left to the third sister, and everything is left to the third sister. Sister..."
Hearing this, Xia Chuanyuan couldn't help frowning, "Dare you want to talk to me in this tone?"
