Chapter 22: Liang Zheng, the Gambler

"What the hell is going on?" Su Wanqiu couldn't help frowning slightly.

The eldest lady sneered on her lips, but her tone was very compassionate: "Liu'er, go and let Liang Zheng come up." ”

Liang Zheng? Su Wanqiu's eyebrows sank slightly, she remembered that Bang Yue was called Liang Yue before entering the mansion, so this Liang Zheng must be the brother of Bang Yue mentioned by Liu Er before.

When Bang Yue heard this, her face suddenly lost blood, and even her fingers were trembling slightly, how could he not know the methods of the eldest lady? If his brother falls into the hands of the eldest lady, he doesn't know what he will be forced to say.

Su Wanqiu looked at Bang Yue with such a look, and knew that this matter was not simple, Bang Yue had followed her for many years, but she never mentioned that she had a brother, and there was such a secret in this matter.

However, after a cup of tea, a man in shabby clothes was led in by a maidservant, he looked extremely frightened, looked at the situation in the house, and saw Bang Yue also kneeling on the ground, his heart was cold.

"The villain has seen the eldest lady." He knelt on the edge of Bang Yue, and his tail was a little trembling.

"He's Bang Yue's brother?" Su Wanqiu looked at him sideways, Liang Zheng's appearance was indeed somewhat similar to Bang Yue, the eldest lady tried her best to find him, and she didn't know what kind of idea she had in mind, she smiled slightly, and said softly, "Mother, even I don't know that Bang Yue has a brother, I can't imagine that my mother not only cares for me, but also cares so much about my girl." ”

The implication is that the eldest lady is really nosy, no matter what kind of relationship there is between Bang Yue and Liang Zheng, it has nothing to do with the eldest lady.

How could the eldest lady not hear the meaning of Su Wanqiu's words, she sighed slightly: "Originally, I didn't want to take care of it, but now Bang Yue is stealing the master's things for Liang Zheng, as the mother of the Hou Mansion, how can I let such a girl with unclean hands and feet in the mansion?" ”

Su Wanqiu glanced at Liang Zheng and said, "What does this matter have to do with him?" ”

"The third miss doesn't know, he and Sister Bang Yue were biological brothers and sisters, but Sister Bang Yue's parents gave her to someone else's family to raise, and the two of them didn't grow up together since they were young, and it is reasonable that Miss Bang Yue doesn't know." Liu Er said, "It's just that a few days ago, Liang Zheng found Bang Yue again, it turned out that this Liang Zheng was still a gambler, and he lost all his family property, so he had no choice but to ask Sister Bang Yue for help, and Sister Bang Yue gave him all her savings over the years for the sake of her parents at home." ”

Su Wanqiu looked at Liu Er, her expression was calm, not like she was fake, she had already believed most of what she said, and turned to look at Bang Yue and Liang Zheng, Bang Yue's expression was barely calm, but Liang Zheng was very frightened.

"And then?" She asked lightly.

"Liang Zheng took the silver to gamble again, ignoring the elderly parents at home, and asked Sister Bangyue for it when he didn't have any silver, but Sister Bangyue was just the third lady's girl, where did she get so much silver?" Liu Er blinked, and continued, "The nursing home on duty today saw Liang Zheng sneakily trying to get out through the back door, thinking that Liang was a thief, so he arrested him, only to find that he actually carried twenty taels of silver in his arms, all of which were given to him by Sister Bangyue." ”

"Twenty taels of silver......" Su Wanqiu repeated in a low voice, the moon silver for a month is only one tael of silver, how can she save enough twenty taels of silver for Liang Zheng, she glanced at Bang Yue with a somewhat complicated gaze before she spoke, "Bang Yue, what do you say?" ”

If Su Wanqiu didn't believe it, but seeing the look on Bang Yue's face, she couldn't help but feel a little suspicious in her heart, Bang Yue was loyal to her, she knew it, but this didn't mean that Bang Yue wouldn't steal things for her loved ones at home.

Bang Yue lowered her head and bit her lip, avoiding Su Wanqiu's gaze, and said, "Brother did come to find the slave and maid today, but the slave and maid had no silver on her, so she told her brother to let him go back, and the slave and maid didn't know where the twenty taels of silver on my brother's body came from." ”

"Yue'er, the twenty taels of silver are clearly from you." Liang Zheng seemed to be taken aback, and hurriedly said, "You still said that it was something you worked hard to save, how can you lie at this time." ”

"Brother, how can you frame me like this!" Bang Yue clenched her fingers and said in despair.

"Yue'er, we are brothers and sisters, how could I frame you, if it weren't for you, where would I get twenty taels of silver?" Liang Zheng raised his voice.

Bang Yue was desperate, and then he was silent, Liang Zheng was good at gambling by nature, but he didn't know how to stop after squandering the family's savings, she gave all her savings to Liang Zheng before, only hoping that he could take good care of his parents, but who knew that a few days later, Liang Zheng came to her again and asked for silver, so he came again and again before he was discovered by the eldest lady, and now he even helped the eldest lady to frame herself.

Su Wanqiu suddenly thought that the first rain said that Bangyue had always been crying secretly alone these days, and originally thought it was because of Liuyue, but now that she thinks about it, it is because of Liang Zheng.

At this moment, Zhou's mother came back with someone, and when the eldest lady saw Zhou's mother coming in, she put down the tea cup in her hand and asked, "Did you find anything?" ”

Mother Zhou's face was a little unpleasant, and she only said, "Mrs. Hui, I didn't find anything." ”

"Nothing?" The eldest lady was stunned for a moment, and asked again, "Is there really nothing to find?" ”

Mother Zhou nodded: "Yes, the old slave took someone to search around, but found nothing, I think Mrs. Lai's bracelet should have been lost elsewhere." ”

The eldest lady frowned, and glanced at Bang Yue: "It seems that I wronged you." ”

Bang Yue's originally tense body suddenly relaxed a little, although I don't know why Zhou's mother didn't find anything, but this is a good thing after all.

Seeing this, Su Wanqiu said slowly: "Since this is just a misunderstanding, then I will take Bang Yue and leave, so as not to disturb my mother's rest." ”

The eldest lady smiled and said, "Okay." ”

When Su Wanqiu was leaving, he looked at Liang Zheng again, which was meaningful.

Seeing Su Wanqiu and the others leaving, Zhou's mother couldn't help but ask, "Madam, is this really feasible?" ”

The eldest lady sneered: "I know Su Wanqiu's character very well, she can't tolerate sand in her eyes, do you think she will stay like the moon as before?" ”

"But the old slave looked at the girl who was very fierce, even if she was like that just now, she refused to help Madame." Mother Zhou hesitated.

"That's just because she believes that Su Wanqiu will keep her, if even Su Wanqiu gives up on her, do you think she will continue to help Su Wanqiu?"

"Madame is wise."

"But don't tell Xue Yi about this matter, everything in her heart is written on her face, so she doesn't have to show it to Su Wanqiu." Speaking of this, the eldest lady couldn't help but sigh.
