Chapter 167 One after another
What was placed in the wooden box was the birthday gift given by Yu Qinglian to the old lady of Zuo Xiangfu.
However, the originally beautiful red coral was now broken into two branches and lying quietly in the box. The broken parts could be easily seen, and the inside was completely white.
The real red coral should be red from the inside out!
Yu Qinglian finally couldn't help it, put down the hand covering her face, and sobbed: "When I bought it, the man promised me that it was real, but who knew he was cheating on me!"
"Mom, how dare I pretend to be real? It's all made by those small traders."
The old lady was not stupid. She was so angry that she smiled and said, "You think I'm old and my brain is not working well, right? Why do all the merchants want to lie to you? Do you have a face that is easy to bully?"
In front of everyone, especially Jiang Chao, an outsider of the family, Yu Qinglian couldn't help but cover her face and started crying again.
Shen Zehuan felt sorry for his mother and quickly defended: "Grandma, you don't know that these traders have been fooling women for a while. If you really know the goods, you will definitely be able to tell the authenticity at a glance."
"Ms. Wei also said just now that Mrs. Wei has placed red coral in front of the Buddha statue for several years, and she has not found anything unusual."
The old lady knew these two things, and it was definitely not because the vendor was cheating.
Yu Qinglian is the wife of the Taishi Mansion, and the things she buys are valuable. What kind of merchant would dare to deceive her?
She must be seeking personal gain from it!
The old lady thought so, looking at Shen Zehuan who was protecting Yu Qinglian with complicated eyes.
She could guess that Shen Zehuan was not a fool. Besides, even Shen Zehuan knew what was going on here. He defended Yu Qinglian. In addition to the love between mother and son, he probably also worried about his reputation.
Shen Zehuan was the only male in the house, and the old lady loved him, so naturally she didn't want to get into trouble with Shen Zehuan.
"Okay, I believe you for now, but as long as it comes again, it won't be like this!" After thinking about it, the old lady warned Yu Qinglian.
Yu Qinglian nodded repeatedly and said: "I will definitely recognize it clearly next time, and I will never be deceived!"
When the old lady was about to take a step back and let everyone disperse, the servant's voice sounded at the door again: "Old lady, the head of the Qin court is outside asking for an audience."
"Qin Huai?" The old lady looked at Shen Zhuoxi suspiciously: "Is he looking for you?"
Everyone knew that Qin Huai worshiped Shen Zhuoxi as his teacher. The Grand Master's Mansion didn't have much contact with Qin Huai on weekdays, so they naturally thought so.
Shen Zhuoxi shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"Please come in." The old lady glanced at Jiang Chao's family and said, "There are guests in the Taishi Mansion. It's not appropriate for you to be here. Go back to the East Guest House first to avoid them."
"But..." Mrs. Jiang looked at Shen Zhuoxi reluctantly: "Zhuoxi also promised me to go out today..."
The old lady frowned and said impatiently: "Didn't you hear that Chief Qin came to see Zhuo Xi for something?"
Mrs. Jiang could only take the Huang family back with them.
The old lady glanced at Yu Qinglian, whose eyes were red, and said: "I can't see guests in this honor, so I need to go behind the screen to take shelter."
Qin Huai came in, and after greeting the old lady, he took out the box he brought and said, "I came here to talk to the old lady about something."
The box looked very familiar, and the old lady was slightly confused—could it be the same as what Wei Zhiting brought?
Sure enough, Qin Huai opened the box and said, "This is a gift given to the Qin family by the Taishi Mansion a few years ago. I took it out a few days ago and planned to use it. I found that it was not Polygonum multiflorum, but Black Ivy."
"Wuqingteng is very similar to Polygonum multiflorum. People who are not proficient in medical skills can't tell it at all. Even I was almost deceived."
The old lady stood up from the chair, feeling very embarrassed and said, "I'm really sorry. I guess my family doesn't know medical skills and I was deceived."
"It's okay, a layman really can't tell." Qin Huai also stood up quickly and said, "I'm not here to challenge the master, but to inform the Taishi Mansion."
"What if the government doesn't understand and eats this as Polygonum multiflorum, it will be bad."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Qin." The old lady said in greeting: "This is the one that my family got and sent to Mr. Qin. We really don't recognize it."
"It doesn't matter." Qin Huai said, stood up and said, "I have other things to do, so I'll leave first."
"Okay." The old lady stood up to see him off and said, "Mr. Qin will laugh at you for making such a joke."
After Qin Huai left, the old lady suddenly picked up the cup on the table and threw it towards the screen: "Did you hear it from behind?"
There was still tea in the cup, and a few drops splashed on Yu Qinglian's face through the screen gauze.
Yu Qinglian didn't dare to wipe it, so she quickly walked around the screen and knelt down.
"You said that the golden sword given to Prince Yu's Mansion was cut off by the craftsmen, and the red coral given to the Wei family of Zuo Xiangfu was deceived by the seller." The old lady's heart was rising and falling with anger.
"What about the Polygonum multiflorum that Imperial Physician Qin sent to you? I remember that you said you had a way to get a hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum. Such a statue is worth a thousand taels."
Yu Qinglian even forgot to cry. She raised her head and said, "I really don't know. Didn't President Qin just say that people who don't understand medical skills can't understand it at all..."
Before she finished speaking, the old lady's hand fell on the table and interrupted her: "You bastard, you still dare to quibble. I thought you were Huan'er's biological mother, so I'll spare you."
"But people one after another say it's a fake. You clearly said this is the only one. If I don't punish you, you really think I'm dead!"
Shen Zehuan still wanted to plead for Yu Qinglian, but the old lady glanced over coldly and said, "It's understandable that you care about your mother, but didn't I teach you right from wrong?"
Shen Zehuan knew that the old lady was really angry, so he didn't dare to say anything anymore.
The old lady continued to look at Yu Qinglian: "How are you going to explain this matter?"
"Mom, I really don't know." Yu Qinglian knew she couldn't admit it, so she bit her tongue and said, "It's a coincidence, what can I do?"
"Okay, okay." Seeing that she refused to admit it, the old lady laughed angrily and said: "I still insist on things that I admitted before. Now I, the old lady of Taishi Mansion, can't educate you. ."
"I think so. He is already dozens of years old, and his temper has been set for a long time. Someone will come and send Yu back to the Earl's Mansion. When will he figure out what is going on and bring him back!"
"I can't educate you, you should listen to the old lady of the Earl's Palace!"
"No, mother." Yu Qinglian knew that she would be sent back to reflect by the Grand Master's Mansion, and she would definitely not be able to hold her head up in the Earl's Mansion in the future, so she quickly begged: "I know I was wrong, don't send me back."
Upon hearing her admission, Shen Zehuan said in disbelief: "Mother!"
"I was wrong." Yu Qinglian looked at Shen Zehuan with apologetic eyes: "But Huan'er, everything I did was for you. Don't blame mother, okay?"
"No." Shen Zehuan shook his head in disappointment and suddenly rushed out.
All the people he befriended were princes. How could a noble person like the Third Prince have a mother like Yu Qinglian!
