Shanghai Embroidery Lady

Chapter 55
Sitting in the car, Ye Zijin nervously flipped through the newspaper again and read it carefully, not missing a single word.The reason for the incident was roughly written in the newspaper. It was roughly that after the second young lady of the Zhao family cut her wrist and committed suicide, the eldest and second young master had a dispute and conflict, and the second young master of the Zhao family accidentally killed the youngest Zhao family.

Ye Zijin took a deep breath after reading it, and knew why without thinking, it must be that Zhao Guangyao, who is not as good as a beast, became lustful after seeing Lin Yunwan.It is not surprising that a woman with a noble heart like Lin Yunwan chooses to commit suicide after being insulted. It is also reasonable for Zhao Jinnian to kill Zhao Guangyao after knowing the truth.

When Ye Zijin thought of this, her heart curled up into a ball and began to throb in pain.She didn't know whether it was for herself or for Zhao Jinnian. A man as gentle and elegant as jade would kill someone for Lin Yunwan. What kind of deep love would make him lose his mind...

Ye Zijin had never stepped into the gate of Zhao's house since the wedding banquet that day. When she came this time, she found that Zhao's house had lost its former splendor. There was a white silk hanging in front of the door, revealing a sense of solemnity and depression.

Ye Zijin explained her purpose, but the gatekeeper still wouldn't let her in. At this moment, Ah Yuan appeared in time, whispered something in the gatekeeper's ear, and the gatekeeper finally opened the iron gate.

Ye Zijin followed behind A Yuan, and couldn't help asking: "A Yuan, what's going on? The second young master really killed Zhao Guangyao?"

A Yuan shook his head blankly, and said: "I... I don't know... I just know that the eldest young master and the second young mistress are both dead, the second young master was taken away by the police station, the master couldn't stand the blow and his old illness relapsed, Miss... The lady cried very sadly..."

Ye Zijin was worried when he heard that two people in the Zhao family had died in a row, and now the only male in the family was facing a prison sentence. The Zhao family was completely shrouded in dark clouds overnight, and it was on the verge of decline.

Ye Zijin followed A Yuan to meet Zhao Zhimei, the Zhao family is now in chaos, and no one cares about Ye Zijin and A Yuan.

When she came to Zhao Zhimei's room, Ye Zijin found that the things in the room had been rummaged everywhere. The bed was full of personal items such as Zhao Zhimei's dresses, and there was a large suitcase on the floor.

Zhao Zhimei sat in front of the window and stared at the scenery outside the window. There were two orioles chirping on the branches of the old locust tree in front of the window.

"Zhimei, are you alright?" Ye Zijin asked worriedly.

Zhao Zhimei turned her head slowly, glanced at Ye Zijin, tears flowed out again.Seeing that her eyes were crying like peaches, Ye Zijin comforted her, "It will be fine, it will be fine..."

Zhao Zhimei sobbed, "Zijin...I'm leaving..."

Ye Zijin was very surprised, and the same surprised as Ye Zijin was A Yuan who was standing at the door.

"Why? Where are you going?" Ye Zijin asked.

Zhao Zhimei wiped her tears and said: "My mother said that she would take me back to my hometown. I heard that the Zhao family owed a lot of foreign debts. After these things happened, the creditors came to collect the debts. The Zhao family even mortgaged the house... Zijin, I still don't believe it, I don't believe that the second brother will kill people..."

Ye Zijin suppressed the pain in his heart and asked, "How did it happen? Is there any evidence to prove that the second young master killed Zhao Guangyao?"

Zhao Zhimei briefly explained the matter, and sure enough, as Ye Zijin expected, Zhao Guangyao took Lin Yunwan by force while Zhao Jinnian was out. After being humiliated, Lin Yunwan cut her wrists and committed suicide, and died in Zhao Jinnian's study.When Zhao Jinnian came home and saw his dead wife and the suicide note on the table, he found Zhao Guangyao furiously. The conflict between the two unexpectedly led to this tragedy.

"But that knife was carried by my eldest brother. It was a Mongolian knife that my father gave him on his birthday. His name was engraved on it... I don't believe that my second brother would use his knife to kill people..." Zhao Zhimei said in a low voice.

"Was there anyone else present?" Ye Zijin asked after stabilizing his emotions.

Zhao Zhimei shook her head, and said: "At that time, I went out to the theater with the first wife, second wife and my mother, and there were only eldest brother and second sister-in-law in the house, and the second brother came back later."

"Then did the nanny see it?" Ye Zijin didn't want Zhao Jinnian to be imprisoned innocently. Hearing Zhao Zhimei's words, she also had some doubts.

"The eldest lady has interrogated the servants, and the people from the patrol room have also questioned, but everyone said they didn't see it." Zhao Zhimei lowered her head in frustration.

Ye Zijin patted Zhao Zhimei's shoulder lightly, "Don't worry, I'll go to the patrol room and ask, if the second young master is innocent, he will be released... If the person was really killed by the second young master, then there is a chance Because of the reason, I believe that the criminal court will not impose a heavy sentence..." Ye Zijin comforted Zhao Zhimei and comforted herself at the same time.

"When are you leaving?" Ye Zijin looked at Zhao Zhimei, whose eyes were blurred with tears, very reluctantly.

Zhao Zhimei held Ye Zijin's hand and said, "Let's take a boat tomorrow and go back to my mother's hometown in Suzhou... The Zhao family is about to break up... Zijin, you have to take care, I may never come back again It's..."

Ye Zijin only felt sore eyes, Zhao Zhimei regarded her as her best friend, she had deliberately alienated this rich lady because of her status, but Zhao Zhimei didn't know it at all, and still came to the tailor shop to see her from time to time, He regards her as a confidant and sister, and occasionally gives her some fashionable gadgets, and invites her to go to the lantern fair and temple fair together.Whenever Ye Zijin thinks of Zhao Zhimei's smiling face, she feels like the sunshine of April shining in her heart.Now that she was leaving, Ye Zijin realized that she had already regarded Zhao Zhimei as a good sister...

"I won't miss it... I will come to Suzhou to see you, and I will write to you when the Second Young Master's matter comes to fruition." Ye Zijin held Zhao Zhimei's hand backwards, her throat a little choked.

Zhao Zhimei raised her head, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and held it in her hand, said: "I like this rose handkerchief very much, I will keep it forever, I don't know why, the first time I saw you, I felt We will be very good friends...Zijin, actually I don't want to leave, I want to wait, at least until the second brother's matter is over, but my mother won't let me go tomorrow, I can't resist..."

Ye Zijin sighed in his heart, gently stroked Zhao Zhimei's shoulder, and said, "I will definitely find out about the second young master. You should listen to the third wife first, she is also for your own good." Ye Zijin knew that the three The wife's status in the Zhao family is not high. Now that something happened to the Zhao family, she definitely doesn't want to get involved. Mingzhe protects herself and swallows her anger is the way for the third wife to survive in the Zhao family.

After bidding farewell to Zhao Zhimei, Ye Zijin left Zhao's house and went to the patrol house to look for Xiaoxia.

"Xia Liangjun, someone is looking for you!" A man in uniform shouted into the room.

Xiao Xia's real name is Xia Liangjun. When the children were playing around, he always played small roles such as shrimp soldiers and crab generals, so he got the nickname Xiao Xia.

"Sister Zijin, what are you doing here looking for me?" Xiao Xia ran out and asked.

Ye Zijin told Xiao Xia everything, and asked Xiao Xia to help her find a way for her to meet Zhao Jinnian.

Xiao Xia said with a look of embarrassment: "Sister Zijin, it's not that I don't want to help you, but the second young master of the Zhao family is a murderer now, and he can't be seen casually. You went to visit the prison, why don't you think of other ways? Even if you believe that Zhao Jinnian is not the murderer, there is no evidence now..."

"It's because there is no evidence now that I want to ask the second young master what's going on face to face. Don't you police officers like to be tortured into tricks? What if it's not him, what if he can't bear to admit it after you torture him?" Ye Zijin once heard Through some methods of extorting a confession, he was worried that Zhao Jinnian would also be tortured.

Xiao Xia spread his hands together and said: "That's not necessary, I heard that the second young master Zhao has already recognized it, and our patrol room is not A Bi Hell, not everyone is tortured." Xiao Xia suddenly looked at Ye Zijin with suspicious eyes, "Sister Zijin, I said that no one in the Zhao family is worried about you. What are you worried about? Are you familiar with the Second Young Master Zhao?"

Only then did Ye Zijin realize that his reaction was a bit excessive, and quickly explained: "Master Zhao Er is my friend, I just heard that he committed a crime, so I came here to ask."

Xiao Xia let out an "oh" and said again: "What you said is not impossible, even if the knife belonged to Zhao Guangyao, even if Zhao Guangyao was accidentally killed by his own knife, but no one present can prove that the second young master is innocent Yeah, it's all just your guesswork."

Ye Zijin was burning with anxiety, and said, "Then if he really killed someone, how will he be sentenced?"

Xiao Xia frowned, and said in a low voice: "It's hard to say, the Zhao family didn't find a lawyer, not to mention that Zhao Jinnian has admitted it, and I also heard that the Zhao family sent someone to patrol the arrest room to stuff money for our boss, saying they wanted to We want our patrol room to assist the criminal court so that Zhao Jinnian can be sentenced to death."

Ye Zijin was startled, and suddenly remembered the absolute authority of the Zhao family - the eldest wife!Now that his son is dead, she must wish to cut Zhao Jinnian into pieces. Even if Zhao Jinnian is innocent, the eldest wife will definitely try to put Zhao Jinnian to death.

Right now, she must see Zhao Jinnian as soon as possible, but Xiao Xia couldn't help her, Ye Zijin lost her mind for a while.A person's name suddenly flashed in her mind, Meng Haoxiang!
With Meng Haoxiang's current status, the police station must sell his face.

Ye Zijin asked Xiao Xia to help keep an eye on Zhao Jinnian's situation in prison, and this was also to prevent the wife of the Zhao family from sending someone to harm Zhao Jinnian.She hurriedly called a car and went to Baohui Foreign Firm to look for Meng Haoxiang. She had been running around all morning about Zhao Jinnian, and she didn't care about the shop, she just wanted to see Zhao Jinnian.

When the receptionist of Baohui Foreign Firm heard that Ye Zijin was here to look for Meng Haoxiang, seeing her poorly dressed and dusty, she thought she was a countryman, so she glanced at her contemptuously, and casually said in a Shanghainese accent: "You have an appointment. Is it? Our Boss Meng is very busy, so we don't have time to meet idlers."

"I have something urgent to find him, please pass it on." Ye Zijin didn't care about the hostess's arrogant attitude, after all, the matter was urgent.

The waitress had a cold face, and said in a soft voice: "I can't bother Boss Meng without an appointment. Boss Meng can't be seen by everyone. Do you want me to pass it on for you? Unless I'm out of my mind. "

Ye Zijin saw that it was useless to talk to this waitress, bit her lower lip, and said: "Do you know who I am? If I appear here as the hostess of a foreign company one day, don't you Regret. You only told Boss Meng that my name is Ye Zijin."

The waitress really put down the newspaper and glanced at Ye Zijin, because Ye Zijin walked too hastily just now, her hair was a little disheveled, covering half of her face, now that Ye Zijin pushed her hair behind her ears, the waitress found that it was actually a face with delicate features , is no less inferior to the female stars in the film and television, and immediately dare not look down upon her.You must know that there are also a lot of gossip about Meng Haoxiang. Although most of them are rumors, it is better to believe it or not. The waitress thinks that the woman in front of her may really be one of Boss Meng's friends.

"Miss, wait a moment, I'll go upstairs to pass on the news." The waitress saw that Ye Zijin was not afraid at all, and she seemed confident in what she said just now, so she was even more convinced of her guess, and hurriedly Changed a smiling face and went upstairs.

After a while, the waitress walked towards Ye Zijin with a brighter and more sincere smile, and said softly and courteously, "Hi, Miss Ye, Boss Meng is waiting for you in the office, please come with me, I was just now You have no eyes and no eyes, and offended Ms. Ye, please don't take it to heart..."

Ye Zijin ignored the waitress, and just followed her upstairs, Ye Zijin always felt very awkward looking at that smiling face.

Coming to Meng Haoxiang's office door, Ye Zijin took a deep breath, pushed the door open and entered.
