Chapter 138 Exposed

 After Jiaojiao finished speaking, Wang Liuer's face froze, and she quickly smiled and said: "Most women like to wear pink skirts, what's so surprising about this."

But Yingniang frowned.

If she remembered correctly, when Sun Wan'er came to look for Liu'er yesterday, she was wearing a yellow gauze skirt, and she even took a second look at the lifelike embroidered butterfly hairpin as thin as cicada wings on her head.

Liu'er wore a pink skirt when she went out. Although she never noticed what she was wearing on her head, her daughter did bring a set of pink hairpins during this trip... Thinking of this, Yingniang's face turned red, and her heart was filled with worry.

Angry and annoyed.

If it was really Liu'er, Nazhihua obviously did not expose her further because of her reputation. Thinking of this, Yingniang felt very shameless.

The daughter I raised dislikes poverty and loves wealth. Now she even dislikes her own aunt. How can such a character be achieved!

"Liu'er, mother will give you one more chance to tell the truth."

Although Yingniang's voice was inaudible, she was really angry this time and looked at her daughter with sharp eyes.

Wang Liuer's fingertips curled up. She didn't want to admit it, but she was scared because her mother was so serious.

"Mom, I, I just didn't see clearly."

"Mom, cousin Liu'er just pretends not to know us, but she helps outsiders bully us. I don't want such a relative!" Erya couldn't help but said.

She hates such dishonest people and treats them as fools again and again.

Liu Zhihua stopped talking and sighed softly.

When Wang Liuer heard what Erya said, she thought she was telling her on purpose to cause trouble for her mother, so she glared at her and retorted: "You think I don't want to be related to you. How many people in Ancheng are trying to please and be related to us, they are like a frog in the well."

"Liu'er!" Yingniang shouted in a stern tone.

Wang Liuer immediately closed her mouth and looked at Erya and the others with disgust and resentment.

"Zhihua, I'm sorry for today, I'm going to take care of this girl."

After saying that, Ying Niang frowned and pulled her daughter up and walked straight out the door.

After the person left, Erya let out a sigh of dissatisfaction, turned to look at her mother and asked: "Mom, you believed it was Liu'er before, but why did you change your story later and you're not allowed to tell me."

Seeing this, Liu Zhihua sighed, patted Erya's head and said comfortingly: "Oh, I know it's Liu'er, but after all, your aunt is in the middle, so in the end, it's your aunt who will feel uncomfortable."

Erya curled her lips, hugged her sister and murmured: "Then I still feel uncomfortable. You always think about other people's feelings first, in case the eldest uncle suspects that I am telling lies."

"Your aunt is not that kind of person. Okay, it's my fault. Erya is right. Mom will take you to a silver shop to buy a set of jewelry, which will just fill up the empty box in your dressing table." Liu Zhihua.

He looked at Erya and said.

Erya was obviously a little excited when she heard about the silver jewelry. She looked up at her mother and asked, "Really?"

Liu Zhihua nodded and said with a smile: "Really, I will be eleven years old during the Chinese New Year. Mom will prepare it for you in advance. After dinner, we will go shopping."

Erya heard this and excitedly picked up the bowl to eat.

Seeing this, Jiaojiao also smiled.

……

At the same time,

Zhao family.

There are five or six people guarding the front gate of Zhao's house. People walking on the street look here from time to time. It is too difficult to enter through the front door.

Zhao Shen took advantage of others' unpreparedness and hid at the back door.

The two officers guarding the back door looked at it and shouted angrily: "Who is it? You are not allowed to stay here, leave quickly!"

"I'm from the Zhao family, and I want to go in and have a look." Zhao Shen said, clasping his fists.

"No! No one is allowed to enter." The official said firmly.

Zhao Shen looked at the familiar door, which was covered with seals and white couplets. There were still rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves thrown by people on the door wall.

When I came back to visit my relatives at the beginning of this year, there was still a lot of joy, but in just six months, it has become so depressed.

He frowned. He had planned the Zhao family's business routes in advance. Even if he was found out, it would be just a private ship carrying overweight cargo, and nothing else out of the ordinary.

"Young Master!"

An old man's voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Zhao Shen turned around and saw that it was the housekeeper?

With a happy face on his face, he hurriedly walked over and took him aside, asking in a low voice: "Uncle Ma, what happened to the Zhao family? How could it be related to the sale of official salt?"

Uncle Ma glanced at the uncle, shook his head and sighed: "Young master, I don't know. This summer, the second wife of the Zhao family fired me. Now I don't know much about the Zhao family. I just heard that the treasury of the house was stolen."

The second master of the thief was seriously injured, and the others were locked in the yard and were not allowed to come out. The amount of official salt was huge, and the Yamen could not get involved in this matter. I heard that there were special personnel coming to investigate."

Zhao Shen's eyes darkened when he heard that. He never thought that so many things had happened during his absence. He frowned and asked again: "Uncle Ma, you have been in the Zhao family for many years, why were you fired?"

Uncle Ma looked embarrassed, looked at the uncle, shook his head, and sighed casually: "The Zhao family is no longer the Zhao family it used to be. I'll take my leave now."

After saying that, the person left with the basket on his back.

Zhao Shen clenched his fists, looked at the door of the Zhao family, thought for a moment, and took out the documents in his arms.

He stepped forward again and said politely to the official: "I am Zhao Shen, the eldest son of Zhao. I am currently working beside the county magistrate. This is my document. I only came to the house to visit my family and had no other thoughts."

With that said, Zhao Shen handed over the paperwork.

The official didn't want to take it at first, but after hearing that he was working next to the county magistrate, he took it and opened it to take a look.

The officer glanced at Zhao Shen suspiciously, returned the document to him, and said: "You will have a great future working by the side of the county magistrate. Now the yard is full of accomplices who smuggle official salt. That is a serious crime. Why bother to get involved in this mess?"

Water."

"I don't mean anything, I just want to see my family again. Please be considerate."

With that said, Zhao Shen took out a golden bean from his waist and handed it to him, and whispered: "A cup of tea is all it takes. I just want to talk to my relatives. I won't joke about my bright future."

The officer was stunned for a moment, looking at the golden beans in his hand. In his whole life, he had never met such a generous person. Tsk, tsk, just give him the gold.

Gold and silver are both good things. He had quick eyes and quick hands to put the gold into his pocket. There was no oil or water in doing this job. After finally bumping into such a happy person, he naturally gave up as soon as he saw the opportunity.

"Ahem, come on."

The official went over and muttered a few words to the man guarding the door, then let Zhao Shen in.

Entering the courtyard, some familiar faces from the past were filled with sadness and vicissitudes of life.

"It's been several days. When will these days end?"

"It's obviously the second master who has done many evil things, why should he take my life!"

"Who allowed us to earn this salary from the Zhao family? No matter what, we can only wait now. What the second master does is none of our business. When the officials find out, we will definitely be able to go home."

Most of the people who spoke were dissatisfied. Zhao Shen stopped and frowned.
