Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 633 Speechless! Stupid!
Shen Lian glanced at Wu Meiniang and said calmly, "Your groom is lying."

"what?"

Wu Meiniang glared with her almond-shaped eyes and opened her little mouth.

The whole person was stunned.

Wu Meiniang was really surprised at this moment.

First of all, she had complete trust in her family's groom!

She never doubted her own groom!
Secondly, Shen Lian didn't do anything at all, he just asked a few irrelevant questions.

How can you be sure that there is something wrong with your groom?

Therefore, Wu Meiniang did not believe what Shen Lian said!

She frowned slightly and said, "Master Shen, why do you say there is something wrong with our groom?"

"He is just an honest man."

"I have been in my Wu family for ten years."

"And there was nothing wrong with his answers just now."

"Why do you say he has a problem?"

The groom was so frightened when he heard Shen Lian’s words.

He turned pale.

At this moment, I see Wu Meiniang protecting me.

He nodded heavily and said, "Miss, I am really wronged!"

"I didn't do anything to offend the master!"

"Miss, please make the decision for me!"

Wu Meiniang said, "Don't worry."

"You are from my Wu family."

"I will never let you suffer injustice!"

Wu Meiniang looked at Shen Lian with her bright eyes and said, "Sir Shen, I need your explanation."

Wu Shiqi frowned and said, "Mei Niang, please leave quickly. Lord Shen is investigating the case, so what does it have to do with you?"

Wu Meiniang was very stubborn.

"Dad, this is different!"

"This time, Lord Shen is talking about our groom!"

"He has been with you for ten years. He is like a family member to us. Can you bear to watch him being wrongly accused?"

"I don't want to go against Lord Shen, I just hope Lord Shen can give a reason!"

Wu Shiqi frowned and said, "You don't know anything at all, stop making trouble."

"Go home quickly and don't disturb Lord Shen from investigating the case!"

But Wu Meiniang was too stubborn.

Don't listen at all.

At this time, Shen Lian finally understood why Wu Shiqi always had a headache about his daughter.

This Wu Meiniang has a very good idea!

Very unique personality.

Once something is determined, a warrior cannot change it.

Shen Lian said, "Master Wu, since Miss Wu wants to know the reason, I will tell her. You don't have to worry."

Wu Shiqi said apologetically, "Sir Shen, I am sorry to trouble you."

Shen Lian smiled and shook his head.

He looked at Wu Meiniang, only to see her big eyes fixed on him.

She looked like a hen protecting her calves.

Shen Lian smiled and looked at the coachman behind her. The coachman looked evasive and didn't dare to look Shen Lian in the eye.

Shen Lian said calmly: "Just now, I asked three questions."

"Actually, the first two questions are not important."

"The most important thing is the third question."

Wu Meiniang frowned.

She was thinking about the three questions Shen Lian asked.

The first question is whether the groom ever left when fetching water for the horses!
The second question is whether the groom noticed any suspicious person approaching while he was resting.

The third question is whether the coachman saw Du Chuke, the Minister of Works.

As a result, the first answer given by the groom was affirmative.

He left when he was fetching water!
The second one is negative.

He didn't notice anyone approaching.

........................

The third question is also affirmative.

He saw Du Chuke, the Minister of Works!
Wu Meiniang thought about these three questions carefully and found nothing unusual.

Shen Lian could guess what Wu Meiniang was thinking just by looking at her.

He said slowly: "I actually already knew the answers to the first two questions I asked."

"And the reason I asked him was to let him down and make him think I was just asking casually."

"And give him the confidence that I can believe the answers he gives."

........................

"Then, I asked the third question!"

"This third question is the real one. I want to test him!"

The groom said nervously: "I, I didn't lie!"

"I really saw Lord Du!"

Wu Meiniang looked at Shen Lian and said, "He didn't lie. What's wrong with the third question?"

Shen Lian glanced at Wu Meiniang.

He said, "Miss Wu, it's right to trust the people in your own house."

"But sometimes, if you trust too much, you will be taken advantage of."

"He lied about the third question."

Wu Meiniang asked, "Didn't he see it?"

“No, it’s not a question of seeing it or not!”

Shen Lian said calmly: "It's Du Chuke, the problem is that he has never been here!"

"Master Du, he has never been here, how could he have seen it?"

"What I asked was actually just a casual question, just to see if he had something to hide."

"In the end, you discovered it too!"

"Du Chuke didn't come."

"But he said he saw it!"

"Isn't this enough to prove everything?"

Wu Meiniang heard what Shen Lian said.

The whole person was stunned for a moment.

His beautiful eyes suddenly widened.

The little mouth is slightly open.

The whole person was extremely surprised and shocked!
She never thought that Shen Lian's three questions were not meant to really get any useful clues.

But it was to test whether the coachman from Wu Mansion was lying!

The result is obvious...

The groom lied!
After hearing Shen Lian's first two questions, the groom thought that Shen Lian was just asking some ordinary questions.

He felt that Shen Lian would not be able to tell whether his answers were true or false.

So, when faced with the third question.

He didn't even think there was any problem.

Du Chuke did not come.

But he said he saw it!
This only means that he was not looking at the carriage seriously as he said.

But at a certain moment, I didn't know what I was doing and didn't pay any attention to the situation outside.

That's why.

Shen Lian said Du Chuke had been here.

He didn't see it, but he thought that Du Chuke walked by at that time when he didn't know what he was doing secretly.

So, he didn't want Shen Lian to suspect him.

He nodded and admitted that he had seen Du Chuke!
And the result...

He was the one who admitted to seeing Du Chuke.

Instead, it completely proves that there is something wrong with him!
Three simple questions.

But it was so easy to find the problem with the groom!
This made Wu Meiniang not only shocked by the problem with the groom, but also shocked by Shen Lian's strength!

She knew she was smart, and she was always proud of her intelligence.

But at this moment.

Facing Shen Lian.

Only then did she realize that she was still far from perfect.

She and Shen Lian arrived almost one after the other.

Therefore, Wu Meiniang was very clear that the information Shen Lian obtained was no more than hers.

The starting point for both of them is the same!

But in the end, when I was thinking about how to move forward.

Shen Lian has reached the finish line!
This is simply overwhelmingly powerful!
Even if Wu Meiniang was unwilling to admit it, she had to admit that Shen Lian was really amazing!

It's outrageous!
She couldn't help but say, "It's true that there is no false reputation."

"Lord Shen is much more powerful than I thought!"

"Master Shen, I apologize for doubting you just now. I hope you can forgive me."

Wu Meiniang was sure that she had indeed underestimated Shen Lian.

He admitted his mistake generously!
Her personality is different from other girls with bad tempers.

She never thought that admitting mistakes was a shameful thing.

Perhaps other women, if they made a mistake, would try to cover up the truth and make excuses just to save face.

But she never did.

She likes reading, and books teach her many truths.

Among them, knowing one's mistakes and improving them is of great benefit.

Shen Lian smiled and said, "Miss, don't mind. I don't mind your doubts."

"You are able to question me for the sake of your own servants. This shows that you are a responsible girl."

"However, it's still what I said before."

"It's right to be responsible, but the prerequisite is to make sure that the person you are protecting and taking responsibility for is worthy of your responsibility..."

Wu Meiniang pursed her lips.

Immediately, she nodded heavily and said, "I understand."

"Thank you for your guidance, Master Shen."

After saying that, she turned around and looked at the groom who was blocked behind her.

Wu Meiniang's eyes became fierce.

She said, "Were you happy to see me stand up to protect you just now?"

The groom lowered his head.

He didn't even dare to look into Wu Meiniang's eyes.

He stammered, "Miss, I...I don't want to either."

Wu Meiniang looked at him and said calmly, "If you still have a little conscience in your heart and remember the kindness my Wu family has shown you, I hope you can tell me everything you know."

“Why are you doing this!?”

"And who told you to do this!"

The groom took a deep breath.

He suddenly knelt down.

He slapped his face and said, "I am not a human being. I am sorry to the master and the young lady."

"But I...I really have no choice!"

"My son, he, he was deceived and addicted to gambling, and then he was tricked and owed a lot of debts."

"Those people found me and said if I didn't pay back the money for my son, they would chop off his hand."

"At that time, a mysterious man found me and said that as long as I put the letter in the carriage, he would pay back the money for my son..."

"I, I really have no other choice."

"So, that's why I was bewildered and did such a thing!"

He slapped himself and said, "Master, Miss, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong."

Wu Meiniang and Wu Shiqi listened to the coachman's words, both of them were angry and helpless!

The groom had been with them for ten years, and they knew him best what kind of person he was!
The groom was originally a refugee. His family suffered a disaster, so he traveled all the way to Chang'an.

Later, he met Wu Shiqi, who took pity on him and recruited him as his mansion was short of a groom.

During these ten years, the groom has been working diligently.

Very loyal to them.

He is hardworking and has never complained about being tired.

Because of this, Wu Meiniang and Wu Shiqi were very satisfied with him.

They are treated like family members!
That's why Wu Meiniang stood up when Shen Lian suspected the coachman just now.

Because deep down in her heart, she believed in this honest and hardworking groom!
But who would have known that the groom actually had a damn son!
This son is not only unfilial.

It’s better to gamble!

As a result, he owed money and needed his father to pay it back!

How could an ordinary servant like the groom have money?

The groom loved the unfilial son very much, and eventually fell into the enemy's trap.

Become a pawn of others.

Being used by others!

Wu Meiniang and Wu Shiqi really felt very disappointed with each other.

I don't know whether to call the groom an ungrateful person.

We should scold the groom for being an unfilial son!
Wu Meiniang looked at Wu Shiqi and said, "Dad, ask me. I don't want to see him again."

Wu Meiniang said this and turned around.

I didn't go to see the groom again.

That's the kind of character she has.

There is a distinction between good and evil.

Once we identify a person, we will try our best to protect him and treat him well.

But once you know you have been deceived.

He will never forgive this person again!
Wu Shiqi knew that Wu Meiniang was sad and sighed in his heart.

He looked at the groom and asked, "Let's not talk about the reasons why you did this."

"Lord Tang is here. I will hand your problem over to the Dali Temple for handling."

"When the time comes, the Dali Temple will punish you according to the law. You will not be punished excessively, but you will have to pay the price for the mistakes you made."

The groom's face was pale.

He looked at Shen Lian and begged, "Master Shen, I can't go to jail. My son still needs me to take care of him. I can't go to jail!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Lian simply asked calmly, "How old is your son?"

The groom said hurriedly, "Twenty-five."

Qin Wenyuan sneered: "You are already 25 years old, and you still want to rely on your parents and need you to take care of you!"

"What's the use of having such a useless son?"

The groom's body swayed and his face turned pale.

Shen Lian glanced at the groom and said, "You just realized that you can take care of him for a while, but can you take care of him for a lifetime?"

"It's better not to bother with him now that we have a reason."

"Let him fend for himself."

"Maybe he knows that without your support, he will want to rely on his own hands to find a way to survive."

"Maybe, he will understand how difficult it is for you."

The groom pursed his lips.

He still felt a little distressed.

Shen Lian said calmly: "I am not asking for your opinion when I tell you this."

"As a lord of the Tang Dynasty, I will not bend the law for personal gain, so you will receive the most fair trial when the time comes."

"Even if you don't agree, you can't take care of your son, so you might as well be hard-hearted. Maybe there will be a chance."

The groom hesitated.

Finally, he sighed, "I understand."

Shen Lian said: "Spoiling someone can also ruin a person. I now understand why your son became like that."

The groom's face turned pale.

Shen Lian did not give the groom a chance to accept. He asked directly, "Who is the person who asked you to release the letter? Do you know his identity?"

The groom shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"When he found me, he was wearing a black robe and a mask on his face."

The groom shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"When he found me, he was wearing a black robe and a mask on his face."
