Chapter 199: Dismissal
Wan Chun held her back, but her hand subconsciously clenched into a fist behind her back, even if thousands of years later, every time she mentioned the tragic death of herself and her daughter, her heart was still as if she had been cut by a knife, and it hurt terribly!
She blinked vigorously, held back her tears, and almost used all her strength to barely hold back the bitterness, grievances, grief and resentment in her heart.
She only left on the front foot, and he dared to go to Zhongqing's house on the back foot, and as a "beloved wife", he played a show of recognizing relatives in a grand manner. If her original identity was not Xie Yaxian, but Li Wanchun, she would probably have been deceived by him.
It's a pity that she now thoroughly understands what kind of person he is, and since she understands, she must not let his fake play come true.
She swallowed the bitterness gushing out of her throat fiercely, and chased after Zhongqing, "That Lu Vice-Chief...... Is it the one the third sister married? Did the second sister send someone to find out? ”
"I was suspicious at first, but then he went and fetched an old photograph of her wife, and he looked almost the same as you do now, so I dared to believe him." Zhongqing is naturally cautious, after all, Li Jiashu is very popular, if anyone knows that they are looking for Shuyun, it is not impossible to have the intention to deceive them, so after Lu Jianhao went back, he immediately sent someone to the Lu family to inquire.
When they came back, they all said that the Lu family had really married a daughter-in-law, and she died last year, and she also showed the photos to the neighbors, and they all said that it was her.
Because of this, she had to believe that her third sister Shuyun was indeed dead.
"So, that Lu Vice-Chief...... I mean the third brother-in-law, he ...... Do you recognize your second sister? ”
"Well, it's the first time he knows that Shu Yun is the lost daughter of our Li family, and he is surprised to see the situation, but I don't like him very much, because his mother and sister are so annoying, when I think of Shu Yun marrying into such a family, I am wronged for her, and your brother-in-law has drunk twice with him."
"And then?" Wan Chun asked eagerly, of course she would not believe that Lu Jianhao planned everything to go to the town to guard the embassy, just to find his brother-in-law to drink, he is the most power-hungry, and he is a typical person who is unprofitable and cannot afford to be early, so he will definitely have a follow-up when he runs to the Tan family diligently.
Sure enough, Zhong Qing said helplessly: "Later, in order not to let the family know about Shu Yun's death, I wanted to seal his mouth, it was your brother-in-law who said that sealing a person's mouth is nothing more than death and profit, we can't let him die, so we had to give him some sweetness, so I contacted the post of Minister of Agriculture in Shanghai and promised him." ”
"Sister, you're really confused!"
When Wan Chun heard this, he couldn't care much more, and a spirit suddenly stood up and said to Zhong Qing: "What an important position the Ministry of Agriculture is, how can you just give it to a stranger regardless of it!" Since the third sister is dead, what kind of relative he counts, even if he says it emptyly, it can't prove that he is the husband of the third sister! If you are in a hurry to make a mess, and you use the position of a high-ranking official to gag him, if it is known to others, will it not be said that you are guarding the embassy and pretending to be a public servant? ”
She was angry and anxious, and her words were as anxious as a rain crashing through a window, crackling and deafening.
Zhong Qingyuan was talking to her in a good voice, and when he saw that she was anxious, he couldn't help but say anxiously: "Things have developed to such a point, I naturally want to focus on our Li family, my mother and father are close to knowing the age of the mandate of heaven, and the eldest brother is also a basket of troubles, Lu Jianhao is here, just ask me for a pocket watch, if I ask my mother for it, my mother is bound to know the news of Shuyun's death, so what peace is there in our family?" ”
"Doesn't Mom know now?"
Wan Chun was so angry that he didn't choose to say anything for a while: "What role does my sister give him a high-ranking official position?" ”
"I ......" Zhong Qing opened his mouth and stammered, half-raised his head to look at the fourth sister's angry expression, and only lowered his head dejectedly for a long time before he lowered his head and said in a low voice, "It's really useless, and I didn't expect to tell my mother in the same way as last night." ”
She invisibly faded her hardness, leaning against the window, like a flower wilted by raindrops. Wan Chun endured it in her heart, but blamed herself for being too anxious, forgetting that her sister didn't know the true face of Lu Jianhao, and she was not guilty, and her mother had already blamed her sister yesterday, so why did she rub salt on her sister's wounds?
Taking a long and deep breath, Wan Chun tried her best to calm down her emotions, still sitting next to Zhongqing, slowing down her tone, and gently persuading her: "Second sister, you can't be wrong anymore now." Since the family already knew about the death of the third sister, then Lu Jianhao didn't have to coax him anymore, and he had to find an opportunity to remove him from the post of Minister of Agriculture as soon as possible. Since he is willing to hide his wife's death in exchange for a high position, then he will inevitably harm you for other interests in the future. I'm not alarmist, the second sister is also an understanding person, now the south is making trouble with the government of the north, and my brother-in-law is the person sent by us from the north to Shanghai to guard, if the south is asked to seize this handle and write nonsense, how can my sister refute it at that time? ”
"I understand what you say, and I'll think about it." Zhong Qing told his mother about Shuyun one by one last night, although his mother was sad, but even if he had news of Shuyun, he was better than looking for Shuyun to live in his whole life. Moreover, when she said it, she could be regarded as letting go of a big stone in her heart, and she didn't have to worry about what would happen if her mother knew about Shu Yun's death.
Now the situation is much better than she imagined, her mother is able to get out of bed today, the eldest brother has become a family, and the little sister beside her, but in just a few years, she has grown into a smart and forbearant good girl. With Wanchun by her mother's side, she can somewhat put her mind at ease.
The two sisters chatted for a long time in the deer ear room, and it was not until Mei Xin and Jin Li came over that they went down the steps.
Jin Li said: "Second sister, don't be sad, I just heard from my mother, she has already scolded her brother-in-law, and my brother-in-law said that he will not dare to come nonsense in the future, if he comes again, he will not die well!" ”
"Do you believe a man's words?" Zhong Qing smiled at Jin Li's innocence, helped her hand down the stairs, and saw Mei Xinjiao standing timidly on the side, and said, "My sister has been here for many days, and I don't know how to get used to it?" It's a pity that I only came here a few days ago, and I haven't been able to talk to you well, don't be surprised. ”
"The second sister is busy, and I also have to go to the school to take classes, and the two are staggered, but it's not the fault of the second sister alone." Mei Xin answered her softly.
Zhong Qing's heart warmed, touched her little face, and took Wan Chun and the others back to the Agarwood Garden.
After Li Lanzao and his wife reprimanded Tan Rulin, they went to visit the Yu family in the main room, and Tan Rulin was the only one in the house. When a few people entered the room, he was standing at his desk with his head bowed, not knowing what to do.
Jin Li called him at the entrance: "Brother-in-law, the second sister is here, don't you have anything to say to the second sister?" ”
Tan Rulin raised his head suddenly, and when he saw that Wanchun and Mei Xin were also there, he was embarrassed to raise his hand, wanting to say hello. Helplessly, he held a fine wool pen in his hand, dipped the ink of an inkstone before he could make it, and wiped his face with his hand.
Jin Li and Mei Xin both smiled unconsciously, but no one reminded him, he just stared at Zhong Qing, so he didn't feel anything wrong, so he took a few steps out, and said to Zhong Qing with a long look: "Madam, someone Tan knows that he is wrong, and he asks Madame to calm his anger."
