Chapter 138 Debunked
After Jiaojiao finished speaking, Wang Liuer's face froze, and she hurriedly smiled: "Most women like to wear pink skirts, what's so strange about that?"
Yingniang frowned.
If she remembers correctly, when Sun Wan'er came to look for Liu'er yesterday, she was wearing a yellow gauze skirt, and she took a second look at the lifelike embroidered butterfly hairpin on her head that was as thin as a cicada's wings.
Liu'er was wearing a pink skirt when she went out. Although she didn't pay attention to what she was wearing on her head, but this trip, her daughter did bring a set of pink pearl hairpins... Thinking of this, Yingniang's face turned red, and she felt angry Annoyed again.
If it was really Liu'er, the flower was obviously out of her face, so she didn't continue to expose it. Thinking of this, Yingniang felt very ashamed.
The daughter raised by myself dislikes the poor and loves the rich, and now she even dislikes her own aunt. How can such a character work!
"Liu Er, Mother will give you another chance to tell the truth."
Although Yingniang's voice was inaudible, she was really angry this time, and she looked at her daughter very sharply.
Wang Liuer curled up her fingertips, she didn't want to admit it, but she was afraid of her mother being so serious.
"Mom, I, I just didn't see clearly."
"Mother, it's okay for Cousin Liu'er to pretend that she doesn't know us, but she helps outsiders bully us together, I don't want such relatives!" Arya couldn't help but said.
She hates this kind of dishonest people the most, and repeatedly takes them for fools.
Liu Zhihua hesitated to speak, and sighed softly.
Wang Liuer heard what Er Ya said, and thought she was deliberately telling her mother to cause trouble, so she glared at her and retorted: "You think I'm rare to be relatives with you, how many people in Ancheng are courting us to be related to us, a frog in the bottom of a well."
"Liu'er!" Yingniang shouted sternly.
Wang Liuer shut her mouth immediately, looking at Erya and the others with disgust and resentment.
"Zhihua, I'm sorry today, I'm going to take care of this girl."
After finishing speaking, Yingniang frowned and pulled her daughter up, and walked straight to the door.
After the people left, Erya let out a sigh of dissatisfaction, turned to look at Mother and asked, "Mother, you believed it was Liu'er before, why did you change your story later, and I'm not allowed to say it."
Liu Zhihua sighed when she saw this, touched Er Ya's head to comfort her: "Oh~ Mother knows it's Liu'er, but after all, your aunt is in the middle, so it's your aunt who feels uncomfortable in the end."
Erya curled her lips, embraced her younger sister and muttered, "Then I still feel uncomfortable, you always think about other people's feelings first, in case the uncle suspects that I am telling lies."
"Your aunt is not that kind of person, it's okay, it's mother's fault, what Er Ya said is reasonable, mother will take you to the silver shop to buy a set of jewelry, just to fill up the empty box in your dressing table." Liu Zhihua Looking at Erya, he said.
Hearing about the silver jewelry, Erya was obviously a little excited, looked up at Mother and asked, "Really?"
Liu Zhihua nodded and smiled: "Really, I will be eleven years old during the Chinese New Year. Mother will prepare it for you in advance. Let's go shopping after dinner."
When Erya heard this, she picked up the bowl and ate excitedly.
Seeing this, Jiaojiao also smiled.
…
at the same time,
Zhao family.
There are five or six officers guarding the front gate of the Zhao family. People walking on the street visit this side from time to time. It is too difficult to enter through the main gate.
Zhao Shen took advantage of the unpreparedness and avoided the back door.
The two officials guarding the back door looked at it, and shouted impatiently: "Who is it? You are not allowed to stay here, leave quickly!"
"I'm from the Zhao family, I want to go in and have a look." Zhao Shen said with his fists clasped.
"No! No one is allowed to enter." The official's attitude was firm.
Zhao Shen looked at the familiar door, which was covered with seals and white couplets, and there were still rotten eggs and rotten vegetables thrown by people on the door wall.
At the beginning of this year, when I came back to visit relatives, it was still a joy, but in just half a year, it became so depressed.
He frowned, the business routes of the Zhao family were all arranged by him in advance, even if they were found out, at most it was just a private boat with overweight cargo, and there was nothing out of the ordinary.
"Master!"
Suddenly an old man's voice sounded behind him.
Zhao Shen looked back, it turned out to be the housekeeper?
With a happy expression on his face, he hurried over to take him aside, and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Ma, what happened to the Zhao family? How could it be related to selling official salt?"
Uncle Ma glanced at the uncle, shook his head and sighed, and said, "Young Master, I don't know. The second wife of the Zhao family fired me this summer. Now I don't know much about the Zhao family's affairs. The second robber was seriously injured, and the others were locked in the yard and were not allowed to come out. The amount of official salt is huge, so the government cannot intervene in this matter. I heard that someone from above will come to investigate."
Zhao Shen's eyes darkened when he heard that, he never thought that so many things happened during his absence, he frowned and asked again: "Uncle Ma, why were you dismissed after you have been in the Zhao family for many years?"
Uncle Ma looked distressed, looked at the uncle and shook his head, and sighed casually: "Now the Zhao family is no longer the original Zhao family, so I will leave first."
After speaking, the man left with the basket on his back.
Zhao Shen clenched his fists, looked at the door of Zhao's house, thought for a while, and took out the documents in his arms.
stepped forward again, and said politely to the official: "I am Zhao Shen, the eldest son of Zhao, and now I am working next to the county magistrate. This is my document. I just went to the mansion to visit my family, and I didn't have any other thoughts."
As he spoke, Zhao Shen handed over the paperwork.
The official didn't want to pick it up, but when he heard that he was working next to the county magistrate, he took it and opened it to have a look.
The officer glanced at Zhao Shen suspiciously, returned the document to him, and said, "Working next to the county magistrate has a great future, but now the yard is full of accomplices who smuggle official salt, that is a serious crime, why bother to get involved in this mess water."
"I don't want to do anything, I just want to see my family again, please be considerate."
As he spoke, Zhao Shen took out a golden bean from his waist and handed it to him, and said in a low voice, "A cup of tea is enough. I just want to talk to my relatives. I won't joke about my bright future."
The official was taken aback, looking at the golden bean in his palm, he had never met such a generous person in his whole life, so he gave the gold directly.
Gold and silver are both good things. He put the gold in his pocket quickly with his eyesight and hands. There is no oily water in doing this job.
"Ahem, come on."
The officer went to whisper a few words to the man guarding the gate, and then let Zhao Shen in.
Entering the courtyard, some familiar faces in the past are full of sadness and vicissitudes.
"It's been a few days, when will this day end?"
"It's obvious that the second master has done a lot of evil, so why should he take my life!"
"Who made us earn the Zhao family's wages? No matter what, we can only wait now. What the second master did has nothing to do with us. When the officials find out, we will definitely be able to go home."
Most of the people who spoke were dissatisfied with their words, Zhao Shen stopped and frowned.
What did the second child do? Even the servants at home dared to blatantly reprimand him.
