Time can change many things, and it can also wear out many things, such as people's hearts.

What Xia Ruan asked Liuzi to do this time just made her eldest aunt die more completely.

She has always known that her eldest uncle's image outside these years is too good, but her aunt is ......

Especially when her father and mother had an accident, she deliberately let people make things bigger in private. In addition, Jia Cui cried and made trouble in the court that day, saying that it was the Zhao family who instigated her to poison her, and Master Wen used Jia Cui to lynch her at that time, but Jia Cui still did not change her confession.

In this way, the evil reputation of the eldest aunt became more and more intense.

It's just that the only thing that Xia Ruan doesn't understand is the attitude of the old man of the Zhao family-

Because the Zhao family didn't help the Zhao family save Jia Cui at all, but when the Zhao family was sick, they asked Zhao Nanke to come over and take a look, and there was no movement.

In fact, before this, Xia Ruan had already prepared to face the old man of the Zhao family, but now the calm of the Zhao family made her a little uneasy.

Early the next morning, Liuzi came to tell her that the Chi family had left, so she asked Du Ruo to change her clothes. Let people carry a lot of things in small bags and go to visit the aunt.

Duran watched Xia Ruan prepare a lot of things, and was naturally a little unhappy in his heart. Du Ruo looked at his sister's stupid expression and comforted: "It's all cheap medicinal materials, it's okay." ”

As soon as these words came out, Duran's expression softened slightly.

Du Ruo shook her head helplessly, she naturally knew that the third lady was doing this for outsiders to see.

The third lady made the appearance of repaying grievances with virtue, which would make Zhao's reputation even more ugly.

It's just Duran. I don't seem to understand any of this.

Zhao sat on the couch, his originally round cheeks. He was already emaciated, and his face was even paler. It looks a little pitiful. But Xia Ruan knew that the eldest aunt was to blame, so she didn't have any pity for the eldest aunt's appearance.

"Auntie, the weather is fine today, so I brought some things to see you." Xia Ruan waved his hand, and Liuzi walked up with something in his arms, "I specially let people see these medicinal materials, there will be no problem, if it is not enough." I'll have someone bring it again. ”

When Zhao heard this, his face turned pale.

She could tell that Xia Ruan was cursing her, who wouldn't have to put so many medicinal herbs in the house, Zhao exhaled deeply, suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, and smiled faintly: "No need, it's enough." ”

At this time, Wang's mother brought tea up, and Xia Ruan took it unceremoniously, and there was no trace of peculiar smell after tasting it. I took a shallow sip.

After a while, Xia Ruan frowned slightly, looking a little embarrassed.

"What, this tea is not to your liking?" Zhao smiled proudly. ridiculed, "Yes, this is the West Lake Longjing of Shanghao." The average person can't drink it. This was specially sent by the Zhao family, and you are lucky today. You can enjoy the next mouthful. ”

The meaning of Zhao's words is nothing more than to highlight the prominence of the Zhao family. Those who don't know the way. Naturally, she was frightened by Zhao's words, but Xia Ruan didn't pay attention to it at all, not because she was frivolous, but because she finally figured out why the old man of the Zhao family would give up the Zhao family's chess piece.

The old man of the Zhao family is a businessman, and as long as he is a businessman, he likes to do a good job in his bones. Even if they are blood relatives, they are no exception in their eyes.

When the Zhao family married to the Xia family in the past, the old man of the Zhao family already had a pimple in his heart. Now that the Zhao family has a bad reputation, it is rumored that the Zhao family is not right, and the daughter who taught it will be so vicious.

Today's old man Zhao is afraid that he has already learned some things from Zhao Nanke's mouth, so he will ignore the Zhao family.

So now that Zhao said this, Xia Ruan would laugh instead. Because people in Dongyang County and the Zhao family have dealings, they all know that the old man of the Xia family likes tea, but he has always preferred Pu'er to West Lake Longjing.

Xia Ruan handed the teacup to Du Lan silently, and the smile in her eyes was still undiminished: "What the eldest aunt said is that my niece has been on hand recently...... The tonic medicine I sent to my aunt a few days ago was all good medicinal materials, including a wild ginseng, and my niece was reluctant to give it to her mother, so it was ......"

Zhao listened to Xia Ruan's words and couldn't help but look at Xia Ruan a few times.

These days, the Zhao family has been wondering if Xia Ruan will save her just to make her and her husband turn against each other.

After all, Xia Ruan made a lot of money in the cotton business a few days ago, how could she put these five hundred taels in her eyes, she herself couldn't guess how much money Xia Ruan had in her hands now, but she thought it would be a lot. But today, Xia Ruan's words are clearly to ask her for debts, what is going on?

Could it be that Xia Ruan lost money in business?

Xia Ruan saw that Zhao was stunned, and continued, "My niece said the wrong thing. ”

"What's wrong? It's nice for you to say that. Zhao smiled coldly and said to Wang's mother, "Go to the account room and get five hundred taels of silver for the third miss, thanks to the third miss taking care of me these days, I should be rewarded." ”

Xia Ruan pretended to be surprised and shook her head: "Auntie, how can this be done?" ”

The Zhao family was too lazy to deal with Xia Ruan, although she was reluctant to give up the five hundred taels of silver, she was also a lot more comfortable.

She didn't want to owe Xia Ruan, and a few days ago she also felt that Xia Ruan saved her just to make her and her husband turn against each other.

But now it seems that this is not the case, Xia Ruan's eyes lit up when he heard the five hundred taels of silver, which made Zhao feel bored. It seems that she thinks too much about this, but Zhao still can't believe that the person next to her will treat her like this.

She liked him so much, cherished him as if he were her life, and even carried so much notoriety for him...... But in the end, is it really a mispayment?

When Wang's mother brought the silver ticket and handed it to Xia Ruan, although Xia Ruan was politely refusing, Du Ruo, who was standing next to Xia Ruan, put away the silver and moved quickly to make Wang's mother smack her tongue.

Xia Ruan smiled politely and said lightly: "A few days ago, my father was sick, so I asked the people in Zhuangzi to bring me vegetables and meat, and these things are more reassuring to eat. ”

Zhao was already closing his eyes and recuperating. After listening to Xia Ruan's words, he opened his eyes and asked thoughtfully: "Did you send it from Zhuangzi?" ”

"Not really. The food in this county, I ......" Xia Ruan thought for a while. There was a smile on his lips, "Steward Wang has been with his mother for many years, but he is still calculated by Jia Cui. A few days ago, Jia Cui wronged her aunt in court, and speaking of this country person, she is not so reliable. ”

Zhao thought of something, and his brows furrowed.

But seeing Zhao like this, Xia Ruan's expression still did not change, as if he was talking to people in common words, "Now the king is also much more careful." There shouldn't be any more major problems. But aunt, don't you really want me to tell the king's steward to send it? The things on this Zhuangzi are clean and cheap. ”

Zhao sneered, she finally understood the meaning of Xia Ruan's words.

Xia Ruan wanted to sell the things on the Zhuangzi to her, and all she wanted was silver......

If she doesn't die, Xia Ruan will have silver to earn.

Zhao and Xia Ruan exchanged a few words, and then said that they were a little tired, and let Xia Ruan go out.

As soon as Xia Ruan left, Zhao asked Wang's mother, "After the uncle comes back." Who is the one who delivers the vegetables and meat to the house? ”

Mother Wang naturally didn't expect Zhao to ask her this, she thought about it with some doubts: "Yesterday was the Chi family, that is, Zhuangzi's old Tu family." ”

Zhao couldn't believe Wang's mother's words: "Old Tu? Is his daughter's name Chi Xiaolu? ”

Mother Wang listened to Zhao's words, and paused when she was cleaning up the teacup. Some panicked and knocked over the teacup. Suddenly, the tea flowed on the table, but Wang's mother couldn't care about it: "I...... I really damn it, I forgot. ”

Wang's mother was really panicked. In front of the Zhao family, she has always called herself an old slave, but now she is 'me'.

Zhao couldn't help crying. There was not a trace of blood on his face: "Yuehua, I've always been afraid to think about it." I've always been scared. But what should have come has always come, I always thought that he didn't really want to harm me, but now...... I have to believe it, I have to believe it. He dared to let Chi Xiaolu's family walk around in front of me, didn't he want my life? ”

Mother Wang also wiped her tears angrily, I don't know if Lu Dao was worried about the Zhao family or because she was worried about herself: "Madam, the old slave will drive them away." ”

"Chase away? Can you drive it away" Zhao smiled self-deprecatingly and shook his head, as if he was recalling something, "In the past, at the temple fair, I had a big quarrel with Miss Xun Jiaqi and angrily lost the bracelet she gave me...... But at that time, he appeared in front of me with a smile and told me that it was a pity that the bracelet was lost, and it was very suitable for my complexion. He smiled so well that I really took the bracelet and came back. Later, he came to the door to propose, but his father refused to allow it. I even thought about marrying him, I did so much for him...... But now you see, I've done so much for him over the years, but it's not enough for him to want a son. Could it be that my womb must be a daughter? ”

Zhao's tears fell even more when he said that, Chi Xiaolu, the girl of the Chi family, was Xia Fugui's outer room. Over the years, she has learned that her husband has an outer room, even if she feels uncomfortable, she still has to pretend to be generous. If it weren't for Zhou Yue and the others who annoyed her, she wouldn't have done something vicious.

She cares too much about this person, and she cares about it to the core......

"Mother Wang, go and help me do something." Zhao cried for a while before whispering to Wang's mother, "Go to the south of the city to find Doctor Tong and tell him that I want to buy that medicine." ”

Mother Wang was paralyzed in shock, and looked at Zhao with round eyes: "Madam? ”

"Didn't he want a son? I fulfilled him. Zhao Shi laughed coldly, his tear-stained face was full of hideous colors, and muttered to himself, "I'll give it to him, give it to his son......"

On the other side, Xia Ruan naturally didn't know about the conversation between the Zhao family and Wang's mother, she just raised her eyebrows with some curiosity and looked at Zhao Nanke in front of her, did this person stop her today to avenge her eldest aunt?

Xia Ruan felt that she was really not to blame for this (to be continued......

Please forgive me, ⊙_⊙ I will make up for it tomorrow.
