Chapter 152: Sister and Brother
Early in the morning of this day, Wu Zhaorong was still lazy in bed when he heard a knock on the door. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
She thought that Shen Rihui, who had started work early, had forgotten to bring something back with her, so she slowly got up from the bed, pulled on her cloth shoes, and cursed and walked towards the door.
He opened the door with a displeased face, but immediately changed to a courteous smile when he saw the visitor.
It turned out that it was Wu Zhaoyan standing outside the door.
"Zhaoyan, why are you?"
Wu Zhaorong was overjoyed, and he didn't care about tidying up his sleepy-eyed appearance, so he hurriedly welcomed him into the house.
"Do you want to rest today? Came out of here to see my sister? You are busy with official business on weekdays, if you catch up with Mu Xiu, just rest well, don't run around. β
Wu Zhaorong said kind words repeatedly.
The two walked into the front hall, Wu Zhaorong was still packing up delicious food and drink, Wu Zhaoyan said, "Sister, I came here today to ask you something, you don't have to be busy, just sit down." β
As soon as Wu Zhaorong heard that he had something to ask again, he sat down next to him.
"If you ask if you have something, my sister must know everything, and she will say everything." She laughed.
Wu Zhaoyan pondered for a moment and took out a sachet from his cuff.
"I-I want to know more about the Shen family."
Since returning to Beijing that day, he has not been to the outskirts of Beijing again.
It's not that there are many official duties, it's not that it's full of trivial matters, but it's that you don't want to go again.
On that day, what he talked about with Shen Yueran was obviously only the case of cave bones, and the words that Shen Yueran said were just a woman's opinion in his eyes. But after returning to Beijing, every time he remembered the conversation between the two at that time, he inexplicably felt a sense of weakness and panic, as if he was a real murderer.
He hated the feeling.
He has always believed that he is old and scheming, but unexpectedly, he showed his cowardice in front of an old girl he didn't look down on at all.
"From this point of view, the correction heart is not only full of 'profit', but also 'scheme'."
Yes, it was this sentence that he hated, and the look in the old girl's eyes when she said it.
One sentence was like stripping him of all his clothes!
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became.
Why was he so easily seen through by the old girl, and why did the dirty old beggar say the same thing?
He was angry and found Wu Zhaorong.
He also has to see through her in order to win back a city.
Wu Zhaorong glanced at the sachet in his hand and looked disgusted.
"Didn't my sister tell you last time, this is the old girl's handiwork? Why don't you throw it away, butβ"
Wu Zhaoyan was displeased.
"I'm here to ask you about the old things of the Shen family, what kind of handiwork do you care about me." He glared at her with a dark face.
Wu Zhaorong swallowed the words that slipped to his mouth, and said with a smile, "No matter, no matter." Which one does the younger brother want to know about the Shen family's old affairs? β
Wu Zhaoyan thought for a while and said, "Are you sure that the silver that Shen Minggong embezzled back then was hidden by him?" β
Wu Zhaorong said, "Sure!" Pretty sure! I didn't think about it that way, but six years ago, the government fined the Shen family with silver, and Shen Minggong took out two hundred taels of silver at once, which made me think. Later, I tried several times, but the father and son of the Shen family were silent all day, and the other pretended to be stupid. It wasn't until Shen Minggong fell and was injured at home, Rihui went out all day, and the old girl was in the cake shop all day long, that I took him......"
Wu Zhaoyan interrupted her.
"Didn't you say before that she had nothing to do all day, why did she spend all day?" He asked.
Wu Zhaorong was stunned.
"She? Who? Old girl? She was surprised that Wu Zhaoyan called Shen Yueran "she".
"It was only after Shen Minggong was injured that she found out in her conscience, learned Mei Changsheng's appearance, and started making shortbread." She said.
"Oh, what did Shen Minggong do all day before she was injured?" Wu Zhaoyan asked again.
"It's boiling water, boiling rice, washing laundry, and so on." Wu Zhaorong replied.
"Didn't you say she didn't do anything?" Wu Zhaoyan asked.
ββ¦β¦β
"When I say that she doesn't do anything, I mean that she didn't earn a tael of silver for the Shen family." Wu Zhaorong reluctantly explained and asked, "Brother, what are you asking so carefully?" β
"Iβ"
Wu Zhao was speechless.
"What do you care about me asking so carefully, and then what?" He repeated his old tricks, glaring at her with a black face.
Wu Zhaorong got back to business.
"You think, Shen Minggong is paralyzed on the bed, he has to count on me for eating and drinking, and he has to count on me if he wants to know any news. It just so happened that the old girl somehow got the favor of Zhang Wenxing, the commander of Wenchi County. Zhang Wenxing not only invited her to dinner, but also helped her sell cakes, and even took the initiative to visit Shen Minggong, putting aside ten taels of silver...... "She talked eloquently.
Wu Zhaoyan frowned.
"Then what did she do to Zhang Wenxing?" He interrupted Wu Zhaorong again.
"What else? If she is from and becomes the concubine of Wenchi County, my sister will not have to dig out the heart to return to the capital. Hello, but it's good to come back, Wenchi is Wenchi in the end, where can it be compared with the capital. Wu Zhaorong sighed proudly.
"Why didn't she follow? In addition to Zhang Wenxing, are there other men who have been courteous to her? Who did she deal with? Wu Zhaoyan's attention was obviously not on Wu Zhaorong's words.
Wu Zhaorong scratched his hair.
"Nope. Who knows her, she's a weirdo, and when she sees a man, she seems to have a grudge......"
"Why?" Wu Zhaoyan asked again.
Wu Zhaorong couldn't resist.
"Brother, do you want to ask about the old things of the Shen family, or do you want to ask the old girl about the old things?" The more she listened, the more confused she became.
"Oh." Wu Zhaoyan's hand holding the sachet couldn't help but tighten, and a red cloud couldn't help but fly on his face.
"You go on." He said with plastic surgery.
Wu Zhaorong looked at him strangely.
If she was not mistaken, her brother should have blushed.
ββWhat are you blushing about?
She retracted her thoughts and said, "Don't look at Shen Minggong, who doesn't talk to the old girl much on weekdays, he actually looks at the old girl very closely." The old girl didn't go out all day before, so he didn't ask much. Later, because of making cakes, the old girl went out frequently, and he asked me every day, what did Yue'er do, what did Yue'er do. I deliberately told him that the old girl hooked up with Zhang Wenxing, and she was going to be a concubine of the county order. When Shen Minggong heard this, he was really furious, and asked me to help him find the old girl.
I took the opportunity to say, it's useless for you to look for it, the reason why the old girl did this is all for money, because she doesn't want to suffer from poverty anymore. Even if you find it back this time, if you don't change the situation of the Shen family, the old girl will still sell herself for the silver. If you feel sorry for your daughter, you might as well hand over the money you have hidden, pay the fine, and prepare a rich dowry for the old girl, and find a good family, so that everyone can rest assured.
Who knows, Shen Minggong not only didn't accept my affection, but scolded me, saying that I had ill intentions, that I had been plotting for a long time, that I was a child of the Wu family in vain, and then I was annoyed, so I ......"
Wu Zhao closed his mouth solemnly.
Wu Zhaoyan glanced at her and said faintly, "Later, you slammed the door and went out to vent your anger, and when you returned to the Shen family with your anger down, Shen Minggong had already fallen to the ground and was dying." (To be continued.) )
