Seeing Liu Erlang kneeling down outside without caring about his image, Lin Jiuniang's eyes immediately wrinkled:
"A man has gold at his knees, Liu Erlang, you kneel down at every turn, do you believe I will whip you?"
If anything happens, get up and say it."
Liu Erlang stiffened, but quickly stood up.
He looked at Lin Jiuniang with red eyes: "Mom, something happened to Qinglan."
…
When Lin Jiuniang and Liu Erlang appeared at Zhao's house, they were stopped directly.
The man guarding the gate became angry instantly when he saw Liu Erlang.
"You, leave quickly. I was deducted a month's wages for letting you in..."
The next second, a silver coin was thrown towards him.
The man didn't care to complain and hurriedly caught the money.
After watching the other party take the money, Lin Jiuniang said indifferently, "Is the compensation enough?"
"Enough, enough!"
The other party looked at the silver in his hand and narrowed his eyes with a smile. This was only five taels, which was equivalent to his salary for a year.
But after hearing what Lin Jiuniang said next, the man quickly shook his head:
"My master told me not to let him in.
Moreover, my master won’t see him either, so you’d better leave as soon as possible.”
Looking at the money, the man's attitude became much gentler.
not see?
Lin Jiuniang's lips twitched slightly, "If you don't see him, you didn't say you won't see me, right?"
"You go in and report that Lin Jiuniang from Anle Town is visiting. Do you want to see if he sees it or not?"
The man guarding the door hesitated for a moment, glanced at the money in his hand, gritted his teeth and closed the door, choosing to report it.
"mother!"
Liu Erlang was anxious. He wanted to go in and see Qing Lan.
"Why are you so anxious?" Lin Jiuniang glanced at him, "I don't want to be looked down upon by others. Even if the sky falls, please stay calm."
Liu Erlang was stunned for a moment, and he also wanted to calm down.
But when he thought of Qinglan's current situation, he couldn't calm down.
But he also knew his mother's character, so he could only suppress the panic in his heart and said seriously:
"Mom, I believe Qinglan, Qinglan is not that stupid."
"That's enough." Lin Jiuniang said without any expression on her face, "Don't worry, Zhao Qingxuan will not sit idly by and do nothing. She will be fine."
At this moment, the man who left before came back again:
"Ms. Lin, I'm sorry, my master doesn't want to see you. Please come back."
Liu Erlang became angry and wanted to rush in, but was stopped by Lin Jiuniang.
With Lin Jiuniang's look, Liu Erlang immediately became quiet.
Then, she turned around and left.
If you don't see it, pull it down.
Do you really think you have to see him?
Haha, sooner or later he will ask for help.
Although Liu Erlang was unwilling to do so, he could only follow Lin Jiuniang and leave.
He knew that if he relied on himself, he would not be able to enter the Zhao family at all, let alone see Qing Lan.
If he wants to see Qinglan, he can only rely on his mother.
But now his mother didn't say anything and just left. This made him feel very uncomfortable, but he also knew that it was not his mother's fault. It was the Zhao family who did not allow them to enter and did not allow him to see Qinglan.
Damn it, what happened to Qing Lan?
People in the Zhao family said that Qinglan deliberately killed someone and almost stabbed her half-sister to death, so she was severely beaten and then sent directly to the ancestral hall to repent.
He heard the servants of the Zhao family talking about how Qinglan was beaten so badly that her skin was torn and she fainted.
Moreover, after the beating, he was not allowed to treat the wounds. He was immediately locked up in the ancestral hall and given only a bowl of porridge and a bowl of water every day. I don’t know what happened to him now.
Thinking of the crimes Qing Lan suffered, Liu Erlang became extremely angry.
But he was powerless.
At this time, he blamed himself for his incompetence.
If he had the ability, Qinglan would not suffer these crimes.
Damn it, it's all my own incompetence.
Liu Erlang, who was immersed in his own thoughts, did not notice that Lin Jiuniang had stopped.
By the time he was discovered, he had already walked far away.
He quickly turned back with an unnatural look on his face, "Mom!"
"Let's go!"
Lin Jiuniang took him into the teahouse next to her, went directly to the second floor, and found a quiet place to sit down.
Liu Erlang looked embarrassed.
As soon as I sat down, I couldn't help but ask, why are you sitting here drinking tea?
At this time, shouldn't we go back and think carefully about how to enter Zhao's house and meet Qing Lan?
Lin Jiuniang glanced at him and said, "Zhao Qingxuan will be here soon."
Will he come?
Liu Erlang expressed doubts.
He had sneaked into the Zhao family under the guise of wanting to see him.
But because he heard about Qinglan, he became emotional, exposed his identity, and was kicked out.
Lin Jiuniang said nothing.
What happened at the door of his Zhao family, if Zhao Qingxuan, as the future successor of the Zhao family, did not receive any news, then he would not be qualified to take over the Zhao family.
Moreover.
When she went to the Zhao family, she had already guessed that the head of the Zhao family would not see him.
Going is an attitude.
Shown to Zhao Qingxuan.
Therefore, after Zhao Qingxuan received the news, he would definitely come to see him.
When the tea house brought the tea, Zhao Qingxuan came.
Seeing Zhao Qingxuan, Liu Erlang was convinced by his mother. What she said was really accurate.
Zhao Qingxuan glanced at Liu Erlang, then his eyes fell on Lin Jiuniang, and he bowed respectfully:
"Ms. Lin."
"Sit down," Lin Jiuniang pointed to the stool next to her, then took a cup, placed it in front of him, and poured him a cup of tea.
Zhao Qingxuan quickly thanked him.
Opposite him, Liu Erlang looked anxious, but his mother didn't speak and he didn't dare to say a word.
Putting down the teapot, Lin Jiuniang didn't hide anything and asked directly, "Qinglan, what's going on?"
"She was framed," Zhao Qingxuan picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. "There is an old witch at home. That girl Qinglan was impulsive and was framed by the old witch."
"Since you know that she was framed, why didn't you help her clear her name and let someone beat her up?" Liu Erlang finally couldn't help it, with an anxious look on his face, "Do you know that Qing Lan is most afraid of pain?
Already."
Zhao Qingxuan glanced at him, "Ignorance."
How could he let others bully his sister?
If he could find evidence to prove her innocence, he would have done it already.
It's a pity that the woman made this matter so tight that he couldn't find any evidence at all.
And at that time, his father happened to come back. Under the instigation of the woman, his father took away his power.
In addition, this silly girl Qinglan, under the provocation of the woman, uttered arrogant words to the woman, which angered his father, so he was beaten.
However, the executioner was one of his own, so Qinglan looked like he had been beaten badly, but in fact it was just some flesh wounds.
"Your old witch is very moral," Lin Jiuniang raised her eyebrows.
"Well," Zhao Qingxuan nodded, with a hint of sarcasm on his lips, "If you're not great, how can you go from being a concubine to a step-concubine?"
Then he told me what happened that day.
It turned out that that day, when Zhao Qinglan separated from them and returned to her yard, she met Zhao Lianyi and her daughter on the way.
Zhao Lianyi provoked Zhao Qinglan with words and angered Zhao Qinglan.
Zhao Qinglan rushed up to beat Zhao Lianyi, but before she could do anything, she was stopped by the maid.
In the chaos, no one knew who gave Zhao Qinglan a dagger.
When he and Han Buyi arrived, they happened to see Zhao Qinglan standing stupidly holding a dagger, while Zhao Lianyi fell into a pool of blood.
Therefore, Zhao Qinglan was charged with killing her sister.
