"I, I recognize!"

Su Zhiwei's back stiffened, she heard Huo Shi'an confess, and she also knew that he was not a murderer.

But he had no choice but to compromise for the sake of his mother.

Perhaps, or perhaps because of this, he became the general of the rebel army, and he killed Xie Rin.

Su Zhiwei sighed, as Xie Rin said, everything has cause and effect, and the cause in him naturally has to repay this effect.

And she can't change it, and she shouldn't change it.

When Huo Shi'an was dragged away, he used his last breath to try to ask Su Zhiwei to take care of his mother.

"Miss Su, if one day I can leave the cell alive, I will repay your kindness."

Su Zhiwei looked at Huo Shi'an looking at her with a pleading face, and finally nodded and accepted the responsibility.

She took Huo's mother out of the Shunping Hou Mansion and placed her in the private house in Laojie Hutong.

The children are used to living here, and when they saw her coming, they rushed over and shouted Sister Su.

Su Zhiwei patted their heads one by one, and then called Ji Xingchuan and asked him to take care of Huo's mother.

"She seems to be looking for someone all the time." Ji Xingchuan frowned and said.

Su Zhiwei snorted, "She's looking for her daughter, but her daughter has died." ”

Back in the west courtyard, Lianxin and the other servants were cleaning up the ice water in the courtyard, and when they saw Su Zhiwei coming back, they said: "Girl, it's been warm at noon these days, and the snowman has begun to melt into water." ”

"Shovel it."

"Huh?"

Su Zhiwei walked straight to the house, didn't look at the snowman, and only said lightly: "It's not as white as it was at the beginning, and the more you keep it, the dirtier it will become, so shovel it." ”

That night, someone came in over the wall and asked, "Who moved my snowman?" ”

Su Zhiwei sat on the Arhat bed in front of the window, slowly turning the Buddha beads, and after a while, his heart became more and more quiet, and there was no ripple.

In the days that followed, Xie Rin never came again. Instead, she asked her to do a few things through Spiegel, sent a few unidentified caravans that had been inserted into the Su family out of the city, bought a piece of land from the local government through the Anxi Iron Mine, and opened a few shops in various places in the name of the Su family to pass on the news.

She complied, and in the face of the situation where the Su family and Xie Rin were getting deeper and deeper, she was naturally full of worries, but the most important thing was to let her brother come back safely.

She even wondered if Xie Rin was hanging her to prevent her brother from returning to Beijing to let her do more.

Such suspicions have nothing to do with anything else, but are just speculations based on sober analysis.

Approaching the end of the year, the government began to prepare for the New Year's goods, which were still handled by Jiang's mother. In her words, this year's Jiang family is not going well, and this year's festival must be festive.

Su Zhiwei didn't care about this, she took Li Bo and Jiang Huai and a few account rooms to check the accounts, and the annual accounts of the shop Zhuangzi Workshop under the Su family were all sent, and a table was piled up.

was busy day and night until the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, which was her birthday.

It is rare that the Jiang family remembers her birthday, and they will give gifts, she would be very moved before, even if the things they gave were from her Su family, take them from her, and then give them to her. But what she values is this intention, but she doesn't know that this intention is also fake.

Jiang Moyan came over first in the morning, because of the previous incident, he always had a cold face when he saw her recently, and it was the same today.

He put a pair of jade bracelets on the table, "In any case, we are husband and wife, and we should be of the same heart, and if we make trouble like today, you should introspect yourself." ”

Su Zhiwei raised his eyebrows, "So you think it's all my fault for making this happen?" ”

"It's all your fault, naturally."

Su Zhi sneered slightly, and looked at the jade bracelet again, the texture was warm, and it was worth a lot of money at a glance, but this good jade bracelet was wrapped in gold sheets and made into a gold-inlaid jade style.

If a layman only thinks it looks good, but Su Zhiwei is half an insider, so he can see at a glance that this jade bracelet was originally broken and later repaired with gold pieces.

A pair of broken jade bracelets, and she could guess that Jiang Yinghua should have worn them, and as soon as the two of them combined, they gave it to her as a birthday gift.

What's even more ironic is that this jade bracelet was taken from her Su family's jewelry store.

"As for me, since I was born, I have had the best food and clothing, and only after marrying into your Jiang family did I know what poverty is. Such a bracelet is something that my Su family's maidservants can't even look down on, so you even gave it to me. Su Zhi said lightly.

Jiang Moyan's face turned blue, "Gifts are in your heart!" ”

"But I don't know what you mean by giving me a broken bracelet?"

"You!" Jiang Moyan glared at Su Zhiwei, "It's your attitude that I don't want to come to your hospital!" ”

"Lianxin, send the uncle out."

Su Zhi lowered his eyes slightly, and gave a faint order, today is her birthday, and she actually doesn't want to be angry.

Jiang Moyan left in a huff, and after a while, Jiang Yinghua came again and gave her a piece of cloth. It's a good cloud brocade, but this pattern is from last year, and the Su family's silk village has been cleared.

After Jiang Yinghua left, Mama Xu, who was next to the old lady, sent a set of noodles, and said that a banquet was set up in the east courtyard tonight, and the family would celebrate her together.

After Mama Xu left, Lianxin came in and saw the set of heads, frowned and said: "The girl is not fifty or sixty anymore, this jade bead with the size of a pigeon egg is so old-fashioned." ”

Su Zhiwei snorted, "She bought it according to her own preferences, and I guess she wants to wait for me to die, and this face will still be hers." ”

"This family is darker than the other!"

Su Zhiwei shook her head and smiled, in her previous life, she still thought that they were just not thoughtful, but their intentions were true. Looking at these gifts now, I realize how dirty their hearts are.

Sister Bao Tao Bao Cicada also came, she will still be the head mother of this family as long as she lives for a day, and the two of them are clear and know how to please her.

These two sisters gave their own embroidered shoes and handkerchiefs, and said that they were not as good as others, and hoped that Su Zhiwei would not laugh.

The embroidered shoes and the handkerchief embroidered with peony flowers were naturally not embroidered by the two of them, Su Zhiwei thanked them, and then asked Lianxin to take it.

"Madam, I heard that the old lady has recently been marrying a flat wife for her uncle, do you know about this?" Bao Tao couldn't help but ask.

Su Zhiwei leaned against the Luohan bed, holding a teacup and sipping slowly.

"Madam, we don't dare to get involved in this matter, it's just that my sister is already an uncle's person, and the uncle should always give her a name before marrying another lady, right?"

Su Zhi raised his eyes slightly, "Have you mentioned this to the old lady?" ”

"Old lady...... No, it shouldn't. ”

Su Zhiwei sighed, "Your sisters are also pitiful, just let me go back and discuss with the old lady." ”

"Madame has a good heart, and she will definitely live a long life." Bao Tao complimented.

Seeing the Bao Tao Bao Cicada sisters leave, Su Zhiwei called Lianxin and asked Jiang Moyan if he had gone to Bao Tao Na Courtyard in the past few days.

"No, Uncle has been staying in the study for the past few days."

Su Zhi squinted slightly, did she just tidy up her collar, she took a special look, and saw that there was a purple-red mark on her left collarbone.

There are no other men in this backyard......

Guessing something, Su Zhiwei fell into deep thought. Just after thinking about it for a while, Spiegel came in in a hurry and asked her to go out with her.

"Where?" Su Zhiwei asked.

Mingjing pulled Su Zhiwei to get up, and brought her a big coat to wear, "The master said that he wanted to give the girl a birthday gift." ”

Su Zhi lowered his eyes slightly, "Thank you for your master's kindness, but I won't accept this gift." ”

"No, if the master wants you to accept it!"

Without waiting for Su Zhiwei to speak again, Ming Spiegel had already pulled her out.
