The Regent's Sweetheart

Chapter 163 Silver
Everyone in the private room set their eyes on the lotus.

"You know her?" Lin Jiaojiao unfolded the portrait again, and then looked at the lotus.

Lotus quickly shook her head: "My lord... I don't know you."

Just now he clearly called out the word Aunt Zhang, so it is impossible for him not to recognize her.

He Hua's eyes dodged, and he didn't dare to look directly at her, and he didn't even dare to look at the portrait again.

This has something in common with Eleven's words. When they see the portraits, they avoid them and keep silent.

So, she glanced at Xuemei, and Xuemei was stunned for a moment before she understood what it meant, took out a ten taels of silver from her purse, and placed it on the table so brightly.

This made Lotus dumbfounded, she had never seen such a big silver ingot in her whole life, and she didn't understand what this nobleman meant for a while.

"I can help you, and I can even help you ask a doctor to see your grandfather." Lin Jiaojiao pointed to the portrait and said, "You must know the woman in this portrait, tell me."

However, Lotus just stared at the ingot of silver, and her eyes were a little bright. With this ingot of silver, she could not only see a doctor for her grandfather, but also buy a lot of rice and noodles, and even a few quilts and cotton-padded clothes. This winter will not be too sad.

I thought of the good side, but also thought of the bad side, and was entangled for a while.

After a while, the lotus's big eyes never left the ingot of silver, that kind of eyes, like a hungry wolf seeing the meat.

This kind of look makes people feel distressed.

He Hua swallowed again, then turned her eyes away and looked around vigilantly.

At this time, the guards had already lowered the curtain of the private room, completely separating it from the outside.

Only then did He Hua say: "I know her. Aunt Zhang often buys watered wine that the boss asks me to send over, and she also gives me some food from time to time."

"She lives in a labor camp?" Lin Jiaojiao asked.

"Well, Aunt Zhang lives in a labor camp, and her husband is a foreman in Jia's barn. Last month, her husband's work area collapsed, and many people died." He Hua couldn't help showing a look of fear when she said this.

Then continued: "After a while, Aunt Zhang also disappeared. Later, the government officials said that the accident happened because Aunt Zhang's husband did not follow the construction standards. Aunt Zhang's husband committed suicide out of fear."

"Suicide in fear of crime?" She couldn't help frowning. It turned out that the woman's husband was the foreman who committed suicide in fear of crime.

He Hua nodded: "Well, someone warned us not to chew our tongues, otherwise we will be reduced to Aunt Zhang's husband's accomplice, and we will be put in prison."

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but look at the ingot of silver again, and continued: "That's all I know."

Lin Jiaojiao came back to her senses and said, "Take it back."

"Thank you, nobleman." He Hua hurriedly picked up the silver, and then hid it in her clothes.

Then, she said: "Xuemei, get this liar out."

Although the words are scary, but the eyes are gentle gestures, and the lotus is obviously a little confused.

Xuemei understood the meaning, pulled the lotus out of the private room, pushed it ferociously, put her hands on her hips, and acted like a shrew cursing: "Little liar, hurry up and get out."

This stunned Huang Dafu, who was fidgeting at the counter, he was thinking about how to deal with this girl at that time, but he didn't expect that this girl would be kicked out by the nobles inside, so he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He Hua ran out of Piaoxiang Tower protecting the silver in her arms, Xuemei snorted coldly and went back to the private room.
