"What are you talking about? Come and sit down."
Although Jiang Mengyue did something wrong, in Lin's heart, she was just confused for a moment and did not give up completely. She still regarded her as a well-behaved and sensible daughter.
Jiang Mengyue sat down.
As soon as she sat down, her tears fell down like broken beads, looking pitiful.
"I thought my mother and third brother never wanted to see me again..."
"How could it be?" Madam Lin felt distressed when she saw Jiang Mengyue crying, and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "Just admit your mistakes and sincerely repent. We are all a family, how can we not want to see you."
Jiang Mengyue sobbed and nodded.
Jiang Minglan on the side frowned, his face was complicated, and his heart was also extremely complicated.
The relationship over the years has made him soft-hearted. The second sister did something wrong, but it was not a heinous thing. She just lied to him...
He was silent for a while and took a piece of chestnut cake.
After Jiang Mengyue saw it, she raised her face and looked at him, "Third brother..."
Jiang Minglan said, "Let's eat, I'm a little hungry."
Four people sit and eat together.
The atmosphere was silent and not much was said.
Among them, Jiang Ning ate the most comfortably because she ignored Jiang Mengyue. Regardless of her presence or not, it would not affect her meal.
Because Jiang Mengyue hurt her body, why bother.
After she was seven to eight percent full, she slowly drank tea and looked at Jiang Mengyue from the corner of her eye.
Jiang Mengyue looked haggard. She didn't know whether she was wearing makeup to look haggard, or she was really thin and pale. She didn't eat a few bites, but was carefully picking up the food for Lin and Jiang Minglan.
Heh.
Jiang Ning sneered slightly inwardly.
On the surface, she is pitiful and well-behaved, but behind the scenes, she is doing things that ruin people's reputations.
She traveled thousands of miles to contact the Zhao family and paid a large sum of money to prepare to slander her reputation.
However, Jiang Mengyue failed to take into account the greed of the Zhao family. She was not satisfied with the money she gave her and planned to blackmail Jiang Ning, which led to the plan being exposed.
Jiang Mengyue didn't know about this at all.
If she knew about it, she would definitely call the Zhao family stupid.
Jiang Mengyue suddenly noticed a cold gaze, looked up and saw Jiang Ning drinking tea.
Jiang Ning's expression was calm, and she drank tea slowly and calmly, showing nothing unusual.
But she doesn’t know why her heart skipped a beat, she felt uneasy, and she couldn’t help but frown.
......
After dinner, Jiang Mengyue returned to her yard.
She gripped the handkerchief nervously, almost poking a hole in it.
It took a while to suppress the uneasiness in her heart.
She was in a daze. After the incident was exposed several times, she became uneasy and subconsciously feared Jiang Ning.
"This time... I will never fail."
She raised her face, a cold look flashed in her eyes, "That bad woman never dreamed that the Zhao family would go to the Capital! If she knew, she would never be so quiet, she would definitely be in a panic."
Unfortunately she guessed wrong.
Jiang Ning not only learned about the Zhao family's visit to the Capital, but also met Zhao Da.
But instead of panicking, she became calmer and her heart became cold.
She hasn't pursued the matter with the Zhao family yet, but the Zhao family took the initiative to send it to her door. It was a perfect opportunity.
In the evening, Yu Er sent a message saying that he had found Zhao Da.
Jiang Ning replied with a letter and told him what to do.
After receiving Jiang Ning's order, Yu Er's eyes lit up and he rubbed his hands.
"I'm good at this!"
Yu Er began to plan how to get close to Zhao Da. Unexpectedly, Zhao Da was very cooperative and arrived in front of Cuiying Tower with the money.
......
Not long ago, Zhao Da got fifty taels of silver from Jiang Ning and returned to the inn.
Mrs. Zhao asked, "How is it? Is that girl willing to give some money?"
Zhao Da was about to take out the money he had received, but when his hand touched the money bag, he stopped and had other thoughts.
Zhao is stingy, even towards his own son.
Any money that was put into Zhao's arms would not be taken out, saying that it was saved for them to marry their wives.
Zhao Da's life was extremely miserable. He had never seen a large sum of money in his twenty years of life, not even the money Zhao said she had saved for him.
He had a weird idea.
He wants to keep this money for himself!
Thinking of the girl in Cuiying Tower waving her handkerchief and calling him "uncle" when he was passing by the street just now, he felt that his soul was about to be sucked out, and he wanted to have fun.
Seeing that Zhao Da didn't respond, Mrs. Zhao said, "Is that damn girl willing to give you money? If not, we will expose all her past affairs!"
Zhao Da had a crooked idea in his mind and replied, "I asked for five hundred taels."
"Five hundred taels?"
Mrs. Zhao felt her heart heat up, five hundred taels...this trip to the Capital was not in vain!
Zhao Da nodded and continued without any guilt, "She said that such a large sum of money cannot be obtained at once. She has to be given a few days to prepare the money. I will go get the money in three days."
He asked for one thousand taels, and told Mrs. Zhao he asked for five hundred taels.
He planned to keep five hundred taels for himself.
Otherwise, with her stingy character, she might not even be willing to give her own son.
Mrs. Zhao nodded with satisfaction, feeling proud of her little cleverness, "Look, that damn girl is really scared and doesn't want what happened in the past to be exposed."
Zhao Da was absent-minded, with money in his arms, and his whole thoughts flew to Cuiying Tower.
He can't wait to rush there immediately to spend a spring night.
"Mother, I want to go around the capital. I have lived in so many years and I have never seen such a lively place..."
Mrs. Zhao nodded, "Okay, go ahead and take Xiao Shun with you."
Zhao Da's eyes widened, "How can this be possible!" He was going to Cuiying Tower, how could he bring a child with him? If someone saw him, they would laugh at him to death.
"Mom, I want to go shopping by myself. Xiao Shun doesn't like to see the places I visit. Why don't you take Xiao Shun to a restaurant for a good meal and try the food in the capital?"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhao was moved and said, "Okay then."
Zhao Da couldn't wait to get out of the inn, touched the money bag in his arms, smiled evilly, and hurried to Cuiying Tower.
Yu Er was still lingering at the door of the inn, thinking in his mind how to get close to Zhao Da.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Da came out on his own and went to Cuiying Tower in a hurry.
Yu Er raised his head and glanced at Cuiying Tower, then followed him in.
He didn’t mean to go shopping!
He had a reason to get close to Zhao Da.
As soon as he walked into Cuiying Tower, the girls in the building came over to him with shy faces, dressed brightly, and greeted the guests with gentle voices, which made his heart itch.
Zhao Da's eyes widened. He had never seen such a beautiful girl.
He thought about the money in his arms, suddenly felt confident, and strode over.
"Serve me all the good wine and food! Let the two girls drink with me!"
Behind him, Yu Er followed quietly.
