Chapter 148 Racing back to Beijing to sow seeds

Author: Bai Xiaoyuan

Su Chengye saw that his mother was refuted by his second daughter-in-law for defending him.

He was even inexplicably identified as the murderer, and his face turned red with anger.

Su Chengye: "My sister-in-law's words are simply nonsense. My father, second brother, and I rushed back from Tongwuguan overnight after learning that my grandmother had passed away. She was not in the capital at all. How could we harm my grandmother?"

He turned to look at Su Chengming, "Second brother, are you going to let your sister-in-law do this nonsense?"

Su Chengming, who was named, had no idea what he was thinking about. After hearing this, he quickly came to his senses, smiled, stood up from the chair, and walked to Xie Wanyan.

It looked like she was protecting Xie Wanyan, but in fact, the hand hidden behind her back was pulling on the corner of Xie Wanyan's clothes, winking at her desperately, signaling her not to go too far.

Xie Wanyan's eyes turned red with anger. How could she listen to him and throw away his hand willfully.

"Brother, what you said is wrong. Although you are not in the capital, your sister-in-law is here..."

She walked up to Zheng Yurong and said, "Sister-in-law has been in charge of the Central Government for many years. Because uncle Jiu kept sending money out, she was caught between the ancestors and mother-in-law. She has been wronged a lot, right?"

Mrs. Zheng didn't know what she meant. She sat up straight and said in a weak voice, "It is my duty as a daughter-in-law to share the worries of my ancestors and mother-in-law. Both of them are kind-hearted elders and have never felt sorry for me.

, I have never felt wronged.”

Xie Wanyan clicked her tongue twice.

"I hate to see you, sister-in-law, so desperate for face." She mocked.

"My ancestors have a very loyal character, and my mother-in-law has always been the most face-conscious. At the end of the year, before Zhuangzi and the money in the store have been confiscated, Uncle Jiu will spend a large amount of money. If he can't pay, he will pay in front of my ancestors.

It will give you a reputation for not doing things properly."

"But if you give it, the food and clothing expenses for the whole family during the New Year will have to be reduced. During the festival, everything from clothing and food to the furnishings in the house will look shabby, making people laugh, and hurting the uncle's face, as well as my mother-in-law.

I won’t like it. It’s hard for both sides to explain.”

Mrs. Zheng moved her lips, wanting to refute.

But what Xie Wanyan said was indeed the truth. In the end, she couldn't refute a single word. She just held her head and pretended to have a splitting headache.

Seeing that she was speechless, Xie Wanyan finally felt better.

"As for me, my ancestors are partial to me, and I can't deal with it for a while. I just ask for a favor in front of my ancestors, act like a good boy, and just push him away. But sister-in-law, you can't get rid of this face. You have to force yourself every time, and you still take advantage of me.

My dowry comes out for turnover, just once or twice, it happens every time, how can I not feel resentful in my heart?"

Zheng Yurong finally realized what she was going to say, raised his eyes and looked at her in astonishment, his eyes full of disbelief.

"What do you mean, sister-in-law?" she asked in a trembling voice, "Do you want to say that it was me who harmed our ancestors?"

"If not you, who else could it be?"

Xie Wanyan raised her eyebrows, "Other than you, Mother Xie, and I, who would have known that there was such a loophole in the money that Uncle Jiu took away? Mother Xie is just a cheap servant, how dare she dare to do this?"

"If you ask me, Mother Xie must have been instructed by you to engrave Uncle Jiu's private seal and secretly send out money to lend money. Unexpectedly, when the incident happened, you were grudged and feared that the ancestors would find out, so you took action to harm the ancestors.

, yes or no?”

Zheng Yurong was so angry that there was a sweet taste in her throat, "Mother Xie and I have never had a personal relationship..."

"Hey, there is such a big piece of evidence in front of you, and you still say you don't have a personal relationship?"

Xie Wanyan interrupted her with a smile, and pointed to Zhao Chunlan, who was kneeling next to Lian Qiao, "The person in charge of the Zhou family this week is your steward, right? She is Lian Qiao's biological aunt. You are not only related, you are also relatives.

Woolen cloth!"

As she spoke, something suddenly occurred to her, and she covered her lips and smiled, "Ah, by the way, didn't my mother-in-law just say that Lian Qiao was pregnant with an evil seed..."

Xie Wanyan's eyes flicked back and forth between Su Chengye and Lian Qiao, then landed on the grandma's face. She waved her handkerchief and said with a smile, "Could it be that Lian Qiao is pregnant with her eldest brother's seed?"

The more she talked about it, the more she felt that she had guessed this matter, "It's only two days' journey from Tongwuguan to the capital at a quick pace. Now that my eldest brother is free, he has enough time to race back to Beijing to sow seeds. No wonder Xie's mother and Lian

I am so dedicated to working for your big house that I want to fly to the branches and become a phoenix!"

Lian Qiao, who was lying on the ground, trembled when she heard these words.

When Su Chengye heard this, his face instantly turned pale, "You're crazy, you're crazy. You're talking nonsense like this. I think you're crazy."

Su Chengming also hurriedly stepped forward and tugged on Xie Wanyan's sleeves again, with a look of anxiety on his calm face just now.

Grandma Zheng Yurong only felt that it was extremely ridiculous, and her face turned even paler, "My husband has always restrained himself and returned etiquette, and would never do such a thing..."

Xie Wanyan interrupted her, "Whether he did such a thing is hidden from you, so how do you know?"

As if in response to her words——

At this moment, the embroiderer came in from outside with a servant.

As soon as the servant woman entered the hall, she knelt down on the ground and raised a jade pendant high above her head. "I just found this jade pendant in the box of Lian Qiaoxin's clothes. Please take a look at it..."

Shen Lingxi, who had been watching the show with a cold eye, saw the maid finding the jade pendant.

Remembering what Zhao Chunlan told the servants before leaving Mama Xie's yard: "Grandma has ordered us to search this house inside and out. If we find any useful clues that can help the embroiderer and the uncle investigate the case,

Reward ten taels of silver."

At that time, Shen Lingxi only thought that Zhao Chunlan's behavior was very strange, as if she was sure that something would be found out.

Now, after seeing this jade pendant, Shen Lingxi finally understood.

I'm afraid this is a trap!

She turned to look at the eldest grandma Zheng Yurong, and then looked at the uncle Su Chengye.

They all looked confused at the appearance of the servant girl and the jade pendant.

On the contrary, Zhao Chunlan, who was kneeling on the ground, her silent figure seemed to suddenly relax.

Xie Wanyan, who was standing not far from her, turned her eyes and glanced at the jade pendant, then suddenly put her hands on her hands and laughed.

"Hey! Isn't this the eldest brother's jade pendant?"

Xie Wanyan laughed so happily, "The baby in Lian Qiao's belly is indeed my eldest brother's. Are you and your wife... shooting yourself in the foot?"

Su Chengye looked at the jade pendant and frowned.

He stood up, strode to the servant woman, and reached out to get the jade pendant——

However, Xie Wanyan grabbed her first.

Xie Wanyan held the jade pendant on her fingertips and showed it to everyone, "My uncle loved to collect ancient jade during his lifetime. When a son of the Su family was born, the old uncle would personally select the jade material and find a skilled craftsman to carve it into a jade pendant and give it as a gift."

"Except for the father-in-law's jade pendant, all the men's jade pendants have their names engraved on them by Mr. Nanshan himself. If I remember correctly, the eldest brother's jade pendant is made of this topaz material!"

Her eyes glanced ambiguously at Su Chengye, who had a complicated expression, and landed on Lian Qiao, who was lying on the ground and did not dare to raise her head.

He covered his lips and sneered: "You hide this jade pendant in your heart, you are really disgusting, a cheap servant."

She raised her eyes and looked at Grandma Zheng Yurong, and said with a teasing smile: "Sister-in-law is really generous. For the sake of money, she is willing to let a lowly maid become pregnant with the eldest son of your eldest son."
