Lady Zhao

Chapter 24

Li Guanshi was going to bury Lilac, but was stopped by Zhao Wenwan, and a simple mourning hall was set up in the lower courtyard. Ice was laid under the coffin to prevent the stench from the corpse, and the more courageous Xueyan and Jin Ling guarded it. The purpose is to wait for Lilac to 'speak'.

This move has caused a lot of controversy, and some people even think that Zhao Wenwan is crazy, even unwilling to let the dead be buried in peace, its viciousness is outrageous.Zhao Wenwan didn't mind the gossip in the mansion. Instead, he went to Mingxu Garden at the beginning and murmured with the old lady for a long time. She didn't know what to say.

Mr. Zhao wanted to get angry and stop him, but the old lady stopped him. He didn't worry about the family affairs at first. He was busy with government affairs, so he didn't care so much.

Zhao Yuan, Jin Qiuwei never lived, listened to Ye Shi's advice and repented in front of Zhao Hongsheng. Ye Shi was guilty, and said this on purpose when he was serving. An official cares most about family style and reputation, so he died of a maid It's not a big deal in the aristocratic circle, but Zhao Wenwan is her eldest daughter with a good reputation, so she gets more attention, so she can be persuaded by Mrs. Ye.

Because Zhao Wenwan expected early in the morning that Mrs. Ye would never sit still, so she went to the old lady to speak first, so as to prevent Mrs. Ye from going to her father to make trouble. Mrs. Ye didn't get any advantage, and felt the threat brought by Zhao Wenwan for the first time. .

On the contrary, after Zhao Yuanli learned about it, he sent more than a dozen of his nursing homes to the lower courtyards, adding an extra level of protection.When Zhao Wenwan heard Xueyan's report, she laughed so hard that her eyes turned into crescent moons, and she couldn't stop.

Of course, the public discussion can be suppressed, and naturally the backlash will be even stronger. In just two or three days, the three sisters of the Ye family and the Xia family took turns to visit, and the Xiangzhu Garden was quite lively. Said that Mrs. Ye felt unwell after going back, and Zhao Wenwan's impression of a slight improvement these days suddenly became demonized again.

Zhao Wenwan didn't take this seriously.Probably because the first embroidery gained momentum, Zhao Wenwan started the second creation, thinking that if possible, he would replace the original ugly one. Thinking of the image that the eldest brother is wearing recently, Zhao Wenwan couldn't help touching it in embarrassment. Touch your nose.

"Miss, it's done." Zhao Zhong, who was ordered to go out to work, hurried in at the moment, and said with a happy face.

Zhao Wenwan stabbed her hands in shock, a drop of blood instantly bloomed on the fingertips of the green onion like a coquettish plum blossom, she hurriedly took a sip in her mouth, her thin lips became even more bright red, Zhao Zhong raised his eyes and glanced, his ears fluttered There is a rosy glow on it, and I dare not look at it again.

"Zhao Liu stopped people at the gate of the city, and told their family about Ding Xiang's matter according to the eldest lady's order. I don't know why their family is so nervous to leave the city?" Zhao Zhong finally asked a question.

Zhao Wenwan smiled sarcastically with deep meaning in her eyes, it is pitiful for such a family.At the beginning, I never thought of dealing with Ding Xiang harshly, but I also felt that this person's heart was not bad after all, maybe it was a burden in the family, so I sent someone to inquire, and what I found back confirmed Ding Xiang's difficulties. As long as she is willing to change her ways, Zhao Wenwan will not. It would be too embarrassing for her, but the fact of harming her elder brother cannot be erased.

Ever since Ding Xiang chose this fork, she had to know the consequences she would bear one day, but she didn't expect...

"Now that Zhao Qi and Zhao Ba are following behind secretly, what does the eldest lady plan to do?"

Zhao Wenwan mused, "Just wait." She gambled that someone would be cruel enough not to pick up the child's body.Generally, a rich family bought a maid, and if no one made a mistake and unfortunately went, and the family did not ask for the body, the steward of the mansion would bury it by himself according to the rules.Zhao Wenwan forcibly left the body and refused to bury her, so he forced Ding Xiang's family to come and fetch her.

However, not half a day had passed, and towards evening, Baochan came to report that there was a woman outside the mansion asking to see her, and at this moment, Guanshi Li led her to the courtyard.

The corner of Zhao Wenwan's mouth was playful, the singing roles were all in place, it seemed impossible for her, the half of the party involved, to go and have a look, so she took Baochan and walked towards the courtyard unhurriedly.

Xueyan, who was guarding the mourning hall, heard Guanshi Li say the identity of the woman, and didn't stop her anymore, but the woman staggered, and went straight to the coffin, crying so sadly, and followed her together The little girl who came here looks somewhat similar to Lilac, and she is also silently wiping her tears at the moment.

The woman howled loudly, and people gathered to watch it not long after. It was a coincidence that after the woman arrived, a young man who claimed to be Brother Ding Xiang also came, and when he entered the door, he saw the scene The mother and daughter are leaving.Zhao Wenwan watched from a distance at the door, especially when he saw the bulging bag on his back, he made a sneer, got Zhao Zhong to whisper a few words, and then stood and watched quietly.

Zhao Zhong got the order to go forward, apparently to help separate the few people, but in fact he made a move with the young man, who was unprepared, tripped under his feet, and fell suddenly, with the burden tied tightly on his body I don't know when it loosened and scattered all over the ground.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the ground was shining with silver. The young man quickly reached out to fish it, but Zhao Zhong stepped on that hand, and he heard him say, "Cloves are sold because the family is poor and he needs to treat his elderly father. From the government, the monthly payment is only 20 Wen, and you like to gamble, and you have already lost everything, where did you get [-] taels and these things?!"

"I... I'll win back by betting!" The young man lost his face and said unhappily, and subconsciously gave the two mother and daughter who were panic-stricken not far away. It's really here, what the man gave was to make their family disappear in the capital, and if they were seen, what would they do if they took it back.

Zhao Wenwan is not sure about the results of everything he did today, and he didn't want to make such a big commotion, but he was provoked by Brother Yue's little boy, who can lose his temper.She is not a wily and calculating demigod, but she is a little more courageous and considerate than others. She has experienced so much experience in the entertainment industry that no one else can understand.

The only thing she was sure of before was that Mrs. Ye gave a lot of money to Ding Xiang's family. As long as Ding Xiang's family came to collect the corpse, Zhao Wenwan planned to wait for the opportunity to expose this matter, but how did Mrs. Ye do it?So Zhao Zhong and the others were deliberately asked to stop Ding Xiang's family when they packed up their belongings and were about to leave the city. The money must belong to them.

Ding Quan was secretly annoyed by that troublesome person. He was about to leave the city, but he was stopped by someone, saying that Ding Xiang's body had been mortuary for many days, waiting for his family to pick it up. Out of town.According to him, people are dead, of course the living are important, he managed to find a way out, and he must not be ruined by these two soft-hearted girls.

"Win?" Zhao Zhong snorted coldly, "You have a lot of tired IOUs from the boss of the gambling shop, do you want me to call someone to confront it?"

Ding Quan's pupils shrank when he heard this, cold sweat dripped from his forehead, he looked at Zhao Zhong with a little bit of surprise, not sure how this person knew so clearly.

There was a lot of commotion in this room, and it soon spread throughout the mansion. As the head of the mistress, Zhao's mother pretended to be Shi Shiran and walked in to check the situation, but her forehead was covered with sweat. The things in the bag that hadn’t been put away in the future changed their expressions, but they stabilized quickly, stepped forward, took one of the silver hairpins and said angrily, “Okay, where did my wife’s things go? Well, it turned out that the cheap girl took it."

Ding Quan was inexplicable and wanted to take it back, "Don't touch my things!"

"Your things?" Zhao's mother turned her face away as soon as she turned her hand, and said angrily, "Your family is poor, and you can have these things. It's not because Lilac stole the house. When Wanchun told me about it, I still have them." If you don't believe me, and you don't have any evidence, Madam thought of her hard work in serving the young master, so I kindly reminded her a few words, but she just refused to admit it.

Ding Quan told the old woman to be a little stunned, but when he heard her words, he knew it was not good, and quickly argued, "This is the appeasement money from your Dingguo government, and it will buy my sister's life!"

"It's a joke, the money Madam intends to give has not yet been sent over. Besides, even if you want to give it away, why would you give it away? I think you and your sister are two, one steals and the other sells the stolen goods. I'm afraid your sister's affairs will be revealed. She committed suicide because she was held accountable!" Mother Zhao's back was covered with cold sweat, but fortunately, when she gave the money, she only said it was comfort money, and told them to leave the city without asking any questions.

"You talk nonsense!" Ding Quan became angry, and wanted to do something, but was detained by the guard, blushing and yelling for a long time, but he couldn't find a point to refute, or in other words, no matter what he said, Let Zhao's mother block her back, but she couldn't produce any real evidence to prove who gave those things. It was because he was greedy at the beginning, and he didn't expect to end up in such a situation now.

"Guanshi Li, in my opinion, this person should be escorted to the government. As for Ding Xiang, everyone is dead, so let's be kind." Mother Zhao stood beside Guanshi Li, and finally said.

Li Guanshi also had the same thought in his heart, so he recruited the nursing home and did so.Ding's mother had just lost her daughter, and now her son was sent to an official, and she couldn't help but fainted for a while, leaving a bewildered little sister Ding crying into tears.

Zhao Wenwan glanced at Mama Zhao, who is very good at singing and writing. This interruption cleared her of the previous charge of forcing Ding Xiang to death, and also picked off Mrs. Ye completely. If it's a tail, she waited, it's time for Lilac to go to the ground when the matter has become so troubled.

Glancing at Ding's mother who was unconscious again, Zhao Wenwan came out in good time and said, "I don't want to help someone to lie down, but call Dr. Yuan to come over and have a look, so that no more lives are lost."

Nuonuo, the maid next to her, agreed, and looked at Zhao Wenwan a little differently. The rumors were fierce before, but it was said that the master was cruel and merciless. , too embarrassing.

Ding's mother was drugged and woke up quickly, feeling sad in her heart, but also thanked Dingguo's mansion for not throwing them out, and went to thank Zhao Wenwan before leaving.

Zhao Wenwan was taking a nap in the gazebo. There were some refreshments on the table, and she picked up a piece from time to time to taste it. She missed the mousse and cheese more and more.Bao Chan led the man closer, and the latter knelt down and kowtowed when he saw someone. Zhao Wenwan naturally didn't dare to look at the old body, and quickly supported the man.

"Miss, please show kindness again and save my son. Although my son is fond of gambling, he really won't do such things. Xiang'er is timid, and she is not a person who can steal things. That bag The thing was really given by someone else, saying it was appeasement money." The woman's eyes were red, her voice was hoarse and she choked up, but she couldn't hold back her tears as she spoke.

Zhao Wenwan withdrew her hand and motioned Bao Chan to help her sit down, feeling a little amused in her heart, she was notorious in the house, but she became a good person in the eyes of a stranger, which is also ridiculous.

Just looking at the expectant eyes of the lady, Zhao Wenwan finally explained patiently, "Ding Quan is addicted to gambling, even if you leave here and go elsewhere, you will still repeat the same mistakes in the capital, why not take this opportunity to let him It’s best for you to reflect on yourself in prison, stay in prison for a few years, and be able to start a new life after you get out.”

The woman's throat choked, her eyes seemed ashamed, her lips twitched a few times, she held back her crying, and thought she understood what she said, and didn't ask for more.

When Zhao Wenwan saw this, Ming Baochan took a brocade bag and handed it to the woman, "These are because Ding Xiang has been serving elder brother wholeheartedly these years. I heard that her father's illness has improved, so don't miss out on the medicine. As for I will send someone to come forward and try not to make it difficult for you for the debts of the gambling house, and let Ding Quan pay it back when he can support himself after he comes out."

The woman took the heavy brocade bag, let go of her mouth and took a look inside, but she didn't dare to take it away right away, "Missy has so much money..."

Zhao Wenwan insisted, but in the end she couldn't hold back, so she let Baochan and Xueyan take her away forcibly. The mother and daughter were taken away with tears in their eyes. Before leaving the gazebo, they suddenly turned around and knelt on the ground, kowtowing three times , Zhao Wenwan stood in embarrassment and had to accept it.

"We will always remember the kindness of the eldest lady, and we are willing to repay it in the next life."

Seeing Zhao Wenwan's uncomfortable appearance, Xueyan quickly helped him up, and put his headband out to comfort him.Not far from the gazebo, a tall figure disappeared when these people passed by, and then looked at the Pingting woman in the gazebo. At this time, he also felt the same as the maid in the courtyard before. Recalling the cruel words he said at that time, the expression on his face Slightly hot.

The face is disgusting and kind, I have wronged someone, what should I do?
