The few people who were carrying him saw that the man was fainting, and learned from what they had just said that this man owed five hundred taels of interest. Presumably, he did not have the money to pay them. The girl who had just invited them ran away again... After looking at each other,
One of them stepped forward and pinched Zhang Chaonan.
After pinching the person awake, he immediately asked: "Where is our reward?"
Zhang Chaonan's mind was drowsy and he frowned: "They didn't even send me to the place..."
Several people looked at each other, turned around and left.
As soon as I saw it, I wanted to refuse the bill. If I didn’t leave, what were I waiting for?
Even if you really send the person to the Yamen, you won't get any money, so you have to stop the loss in time.
Chu Yunli didn't know what happened behind her, so she returned to He's Mansion with the banknote.
He's Mansion is located on South Street in the city. Everyone who lives on this street is either rich or noble. When Miss Liu married in, she was a bit high-ranking, so she usually suffered a lot of grievances.
She entered through the side door, and as soon as she entered the courtyard, she heard a woman's voice in the main room, which was talking about Zhou Yuhe.
"Madam, Yuhe must have stolen the money and ran away. Please send someone to look for him quickly."
Liu Hui was a gentle girl. She frowned and said, "I have been a master and servant for many years, and this is not the first day I have known her. She is not that kind of person. Someone else must have taken the money. Don't say such nonsense in the future."
He was so trusting that Yuzhi, the girl who complained, was so jealous that her eyes turned red.
Why can a girl who doesn't even have a death contract be valued so much by her master? Even the names of these girls are named after Zhou Yuhe's jade character.
Chu Yunli walked in slowly and said with a smile: "Madam, I'm back."
Yuzhi's eyes widened, her face full of surprise, and she looked at her whole body as if she had seen a ghost.
Chu Yunli saw it from the corner of his eye and immediately became suspicious. Maybe what happened to Zhou Yuhe was not Zhang Chaonan's idea alone.
Liu Hui's face relaxed: "I woke up from my nap and heard Yuzhi say that you had gone back. How is your grandmother?"
"It's very good. Thank you madam for your concern."
Yuzhi beside her had already reacted, straightened her expression, and wanted to speak again. Chu Yunli didn't even look at her, but took the lead and said, "Madam, I have something I want to tell you in private."
Liu Hui waved her hand: "Yuzhi, go down."
Yuzhi was not convinced, but she could only shut up, glanced at Chu Yunli suspiciously, and exited the door unwillingly.
With only the master and servant left in the room, Chu Yunli knelt down in front of Liu Hui.
Before Zhou Yuhe died in his previous life, his greatest regret was that he could not personally plead guilty to his master.
"Madam, I'm sorry for you." Chu Yunli took out the banknote and presented it with both hands: "I took the banknote, and I came here to apologize."
Liu Hui looked at her in surprise: "If you want money, you can tell me directly. Why do you want to steal it?"
Chu Yunli also wanted to ask.
Zhou Yuhe is down-to-earth and loyal. He and Liu Hui have been together for ten years. If he really opens his mouth, Liu Hui may not agree.
It can only be said that Zhou Yuhe valued Zhang Chaonan too much and could not bear the consequences of not being able to borrow money.
"I thought about it for a moment. After I got the money, I figured it out again, so I came back to apologize."
Liu Hui looked puzzled and took the banknote: "As far as I know, your grandmother has been in good health over the years. With your monthly money back, she is living a good life. What do you do with so much money?"
Zhou Yuhe had a sweetheart. Although he did not tell Liu Hui directly, his whereabouts were somewhat revealed on weekdays. At the moment, Chu Yunli did not hide anything from the time Zhou Yuhe and Zhang Chaonan got acquainted to what happened today.
She did not say that she became suspicious, but only said: "At that time, I just wanted to make a joke with him, so I hid behind the wall to see how long he could wait for me. But I didn't expect that within a quarter of an hour, he would curse and say.
Once you get the money, you will... kill me."
I have to say that Zhang Chaonan is a smart man.
So far, no one knows about Zhou Yuhe's dealings with him except Liu Hui and the girl Yuzhi who is with him. If Zhou Yuhe suddenly disappears with the money, and she never appears again in this life, Liu Hui will only think that the maid
Betrayal, stole the money and fled away.
Liu Hui came from a good background and had heard a lot about secret affairs. When she heard this, she naturally thought of the consequences after Zhou Yuhe's absence. Her face suddenly turned ugly and she said angrily: "How dare you plot against the maid next to me! He ate it."
Is a bear with a heart and a leopard brave?"
He softened his expression and told Chu Yunli: "You were also deceived by him. I don't blame you for this, but you will have to be careful about people and things in the future, and you will not be so stupid again. As for that bastard, I will let him
After careful investigation, those who have bullied me will never be able to do anything good!"
Chu Yunli's chest was filled with emotion, which should be Zhou Yuhe's emotion.
She lowered her head and said, "Maybe God is wise. I was so angry at the time that I couldn't go out to question him. I was about to leave and never see him again for the rest of my life, when I saw someone come out and put a sack on him and beat him.
He was half dead, and his hand that he pretended to be broken was actually broken."
Liu Hui was surprised, then she put her hands on her hands and said with a smile: "He must have provoked other enemies outside." She stretched out her hand to pull Chu Yunli up: "Stop kneeling. You will gain wisdom from every experience, you must remember this
A lesson learned.”
Chu Yunli responded in a low voice.
Liu Hui rubbed the banknote: "Yuhe, you must tell me directly if you have something to do in the future, but you must never steal it like this again."
"Yes!" Chu Yunli didn't look like she was angry. She probably had something else to do.
After looking at the sky, Fu Shen said, "I'll bring you lunch."
Liu Hui disagreed: "Don't call yourself a slave. It doesn't sound good."
In fact, Liu Hui is not an unruly person, this is just for Zhou Yuhe.
Chu Yunli agreed again and retreated.
At the door, Yuzhi's face was flushed with anger and her eyes were red with jealousy. When she saw her coming out: "You have stolen so much money and you can escape unscathed. I underestimated you."
Chu Yunli strolled towards the small kitchen and said casually: "You seemed surprised when I came back just now. Why did you see me going out?" She turned around with sharp eyes: "Or do you know where I went?
!”
Yuzhi looked away: "I'm not the roundworm in your belly, how do I know where you went?"
If you dare not look at each other, there must be something wrong.
Zhou Yuhe usually spends most of his time in the backyard of He's house and rarely goes out. He doesn't get along with Zhang Chaonan much. She only knows that his parents are still alive and that his two brothers are alive. He even secretly visited his door once, but he doesn't know anything else.
She asked directly: "Do you know Zhang Chaonan?"
"I don't know." Yuzhi said without thinking.
Answering too quickly may be a bit false.
In other words, Yuzhi and Zhang Chaonan knew each other. She looked at the beautiful girl in front of her and asked with a smile: "Isn't he your sweetheart?"
Yuzhi frowned: "I said I don't know him, who is my sweetheart? Stop talking nonsense!"
"It's okay." Chu Yunli entered the small kitchen, took a tray, put the food cooked by the cook, and said casually: "He was beaten up today. His face was swollen like a pig's head and was bruised.
Zi Di, his mother probably doesn’t even recognize him anymore. By the way, a few days ago he told me that his hand was broken, and I thought it was true. It turned out to be false, but just now I sent him to the hospital, and the doctor said
His hand bones are really broken and he will have to recover for a long time."
Yuzhi trembled her fingers and said with a straight face: "I don't even know him, why are you telling me this?"
"Just take it as a joke." Chu Yunli didn't take it seriously: "Don't you dislike me? I was deceived by such a man. You should listen more and smile more. With your attitude,
That’s not right!”
Her eyes were clear and clear. When Yuzhi saw that look, she felt that all the unhappiness in her heart had been revealed by her, and she immediately said angrily: "Why do you think of me so badly? Are you sick?"
After saying that, the person left.
The feet are hurried, a bit like running away.
Chu Yunli was not in a hurry. There was only so much time to come. As long as something had happened, there was nothing that could not be found out.
She walked around the yard carrying the tray, and out of the corner of her eye she saw someone coming in at the door. It was He Houdao, the eldest son of He, who was also Zhou Yuhe's other master.
Of course, He Houdao was lustful. In addition to the intercourse girl, there were also two concubines in the house, both of whom had just entered the house recently. The couple were already inseparable. Liu Hui was depressed all day long and couldn't get away from him.
Seeing He Houdao heading directly towards the back room, it seemed that he was looking for his concubine. Chu Yunli turned his eyes and said: "Young Master."
He Houdao stopped when he heard the sound, and when he saw it was her, he said unhappily: "What's wrong with you?"
Chu Yunli stepped forward slowly: "Did the young master come back to have lunch with his wife?"
He was a little angry, but when he saw Liu Hui at the door of the main room over there, he held back the scolding on his lips.
You can’t say that you came back to accompany your concubine, right?
The Liu family still had to give them face. He Houdao had no choice but to reluctantly walk to the main room: "I told you that I have something to do, so you don't have to wait for me to eat."
Liu Hui didn't wait at first, but just now she saw that it was her maid who cut the person off, and she felt unhappy: "I didn't wait for you, I just had something to do today, so I was a little late for lunch."
He Houdao was not happy when he heard this. Why should he explain it so clearly?
The two of them did not enjoy the meal. One was thinking about the beautiful concubine in the backyard, and the other was secretly sulking when he saw the man's absent-mindedness.
Chu Yunli stood aside, feeling uncomfortable for Liu Hui.
After the meal, He Houdao couldn't wait to get up and leave, going directly to the back room. Liu Hui's face turned pale with anger.
Chu Yunli brought tea: "Don't be angry."
Liu Hui was not a person who lost her temper with maids, but at this time she was upset and couldn't bear it anymore: "Look at him, does he take me seriously? The two in the backyard became more and more arrogant, and when they got pregnant,
, it will definitely creep up on me."
The voice was filled with resentment and a bit of crying.
Chu Yunli suggested: "Why don't you let them do something?"
Liu Hui frowned: "What can I do? Then they will say that I treated them harshly!"
"Don't they like the young master? Let them weave and grow vegetables for him to eat!" Chu Yunli suggested with a smile: "If you can bear it, you can be more simple. If you are in plain colors, how dare they show off?"
Liu Hui was surprised, picked up the teacup, and thoughtfully, her eyebrows gradually relaxed, and then she smiled: "Don't you advocate frugality, the prefect? I heard that the queens in the palace are already wearing plain clothes. You can give them some in a while."
Come on, commoners, from tomorrow onwards, simplicity will be the main thing in our yard, and no makeup will be applied. Everyone except me will have two meals a day, one vegetarian meal and one soup. I will imitate the current empress."
Chu Yunli: "..." There is another one even more cruel!
Since the concubine's room had no makeup and color, it was natural that He Houdao would not be allowed to hang around.
