Chapter 439, Yu Zhongyang and his son secretly return to Beijing
Two brocade boxes were placed on the table. Yu Xijiao was looking at the brocade box with banknotes. There were some more banknotes in it. Xu Cheng returned them, which also meant that there was some error in her previous guess.
"Third sister, look." Yu Zhuqing read the letter and handed it to Yu Xijiao with a shy face.
"Sister, can I see it?" Yu Xi smiled coquettishly, but did not directly reach out to take it.
"Of course you can watch it, that is, the thing called Bai Qing." Yu Zhuqing gave her an angry look.
"Sister, can I see it?" Yu Xijiao turned her head and looked at Yu Zhuqing coquettishly.
Yu Zhuqing's originally pink face turned redder and redder: "Have a look, don't take it to see yet."
The letter was directly put into Yu Xijiao's hand, and Yu Xijiao took it with a bright smile. This time she didn't tease Yu Zhuqing anymore, she took the letter and read it carefully.
After finishing reading, Yu Xijiao raised the letter in her hand and asked, "What do you think, eldest sister? What do you think of Bai Qing?"
In recent months, the eldest sister has changed completely. She is completely different from the timid and hiding behind others in the past. Not only does she help Mrs. Zhou manage the house, she also manages several of her own shops well.
At the moment, Yu Xijiao is more willing to discuss this matter with Yu Zhuqing. Whether the eldest sister is a housekeeper or a store manager, she will inevitably come into contact with businessmen. Even if she does not come into direct contact, she will encounter them indirectly.
"I think... this guy named Bai Qing seems to be a real businessman." After hearing his sister talk about this serious matter, Yu Zhuqing suppressed the shyness on his face and pressed his face with a handkerchief to suppress some of his inner worries.
Shy, now is not the time for teasing.
"How do you say that?" Yu Xijiao raised her eyebrows.
"Since he is willing to accept the money and settle the matter without any impact on my store, and the banknotes he took are not many, he is unwilling to offend our Xuanping Marquis Mansion and General Jingyuan Mansion.
As a businessman, I feel that if you can make money by being friendly, you don't have to fight to the death with us. He is not the Ning family."
Yu Zhuqing thought for a while and said.
If Mrs. Ning had the chance to drag her down, she would definitely not let go. When there was no dispute in the past two times, Ms. Ning would bite her and not let go. Now, they are almost a mortal enemy, and she will not make it easy for herself. Yu Zhuqing
I feel that if the Ning family is still behind this matter, it will be a fight to the death.
Ning is already dead anyway, so she has nothing to fear now.
"Sister, do you think Bai Qing really spent money to buy a shop?" Yu Xi asked with a smile.
"This..." Yu Zhuqing couldn't answer for a moment. She had agreed with Yu Xijiao's statement before, but now she was a little shaken.
"Sister, what do you think of this man? He sincerely made friends with the Xuanping Marquis Mansion and General Jingyuan Mansion, and had no intention of blackmailing them. It is not even an exaggeration to say so. Anyone in his position can do what he does.
This is already very good, and this person deserves to be said to have good character."
Yu Xijiao knew that Zhu Qing couldn't answer, so she simply spoke bluntly.
"This... does mean something like this." Yu Zhuqing thought it was right at first, but then after thinking about it, he felt that it might not mean this. In the end, he could only answer vaguely.
"Sister, who do you think was plotting against your store?" Yu Xijiao asked in the most direct way.
"It's madam." Yu Zhuqing didn't hesitate at all this time.
"Since it was Madam who planned it, do you think Madam will actually pay for your shop?" Yu Xijiao nodded.
Yu Zhuqing was shocked: "If it's Madam, these shops are just passed by her, and she will end up with them. She won't pay a penny for them."
"That day, Ning's mother-in-law brought the banknote and said it was to pay for the future of the store. Where do you think this money came from?" Yu Xijiao continued to ask.
"Ning's?" Yu Zhuqing was unsure again.
"Did Ning still have money at that time? She wanted to break off the engagement of Yu Lanxue and double the dowry. Her father also made her pay a heavy sum. Yu Lanxuan's dowry was returned, but the other part was not given away.
They were sealed together, and the seal of Dali Temple is not something she dares to break at will."
Yu Xijiao analyzed that these words were not only for Yu Zhuqing to listen to, but also to clarify what she was thinking.
Before the banknote incident caught her by surprise, she had somewhat overturned some of her previous conjectures. But now that she was like this, she still felt that her previous conjectures were correct. So what went wrong?
Liu Mei frowned slightly, and Yu Xijiao felt that she had overlooked something important, but she couldn't remember it for a while.
"Ning has no money, so where does this money come from?" Yu Zhuqing was dumbfounded.
Yu Xijiao was also thinking about where the money came from at that time. It was really Bai Qing who got it from Zhengyuan Hou Mansion. What a coincidence.
But if it's not Bai Qing's, if Bai Qing's hypothesis is not true, then someone sent the money, and Qian was being reprimanded by his father for this at that time.
Suddenly a bright light flashed through his mind, and he raised his long eyelashes: "Mrs. Qian... There was another person, Mrs. Qian, who was also there at that time."
"Mrs. Qian's banknote?" Yu Zhuqing repeated subconsciously without reacting.
"Yes, it belongs to Mrs. Qian. If you think about it, eldest sister, the person who brought the mother-in-law from Ning's side was someone from Mrs. Qian's side. At that time, Mrs. Qian was going through a difficult time. When the banknote came, she explained
There are more, and some things become more logical."
Yu Xijiao sneered, she finally thought about the suspicion.
In the matter between Qian and Ning, Mrs. Qian also intervened at that time.
"Money from Mrs. Qian?" Yu Zhuqing took a breath, "What about this Bai Qing... a white wolf with nothing?"
"Whether it's a waste of time or not, we'll see again, but one thing is for sure, the store will be fine in the future." Yu Xi said with a smile.
Although Ning's soul was lost and Qian's was also imprisoned, if Bai Qing really didn't take out the money and now took a sum of money from her, how could the old lady not be angry if she really lost a sum of money?
Isn't Bai Qing afraid that Mrs. Qian will deal with him?
How could a businessman, just looking for money, dare to get involved in such a big scam and let Mrs. Qian suffer a heavy loss?
This Bai Qing looks a bit extraordinary, a businessman, a chamber of commerce, or like the Treasure Secret Society that day?
The letter was returned to Yu Zhuqing, along with the private goods that Xu Cheng had secretly taken, a set of jewelry for Yu Zhuqing to take away, and another brocade box that Yu Xijiao had sent the banknote to before, and now it is left in Yaoshui Pavilion.
"Ming Yue, put the banknotes away." Yu Xijiao ordered.
Mingyue followed her orders and came over to sort out the banknotes left in the brocade box. These were the extra banknotes she had left after buying a shop for Xu Cheng. Mingyue picked them up one by one and counted them, but when she saw the last one,
After a pause: "Girl, this bank note doesn't seem to be ours."
"Isn't it the banknote we gave you? Could it be that Mr. Xu put his own banknote in the box?" Qingyue curiously looked over and asked.
"Girl, this banknote is definitely not ours. The previous banknotes were also put in by slaves. They were all brought by the girl from Jiangnan. Some of them are the profits of the store and were deposited recently, but this... more than ten years ago
I have a banknote, why are you here? General Jingyuan’s Mansion is really good at saving money."
Mingyue handed the banknote to Yu Xijiao and said.
"A banknote from more than ten years ago?" Yu Xijiao was stunned for a moment, and then she realized what she was doing. She quickly reached out and took out the banknote. Her eyes fell on the deposit time on it, and there was a buzz in her head. This banknote... looks similar to her.
Have seen...
There was a knock on the back door of Zhengyuan Hou's Mansion, and the woman guarding the back door came out angrily. After yawning, she went to the door and cursed: "Who is still outside at this time? If the Madam knows, it's not okay."
Peel your skin off."
Some of the maids and women who went out came late and always liked to go through the back door. The woman guarding the back door was very impatient. It was already dark outside. I don’t know who it was. The lady had previously ordered the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion.
Everyone should be careful and don't wander outside if nothing happens.
"Don't come back earlier. If I come back at this time next time, I won't open the door. I don't want to die like this," the old woman cursed.
The door opened, and the person who rushed in pushed the mother-in-law away and walked inside.
The person at the head was a man. The woman became anxious and grabbed the man's sleeve, shouting: "Here, someone came to our house and robbed us."
"Pa" the man stopped and slapped the woman, who staggered two steps and fell to the ground. The woman was also anxious and was about to scream when she heard the man sternly say: "Close your eyes, don't you dare to yell again."
Killed with a stick."
The mother-in-law shivered with fright. Under the dim light, she vaguely saw a familiar face, and asked probingly: "Second...Second Master?"
"It's me." Yu Zhongyang said angrily, "There is also the eldest son behind me, helping me carry things out."
After saying that, he walked inside without looking back.
"Yes... I'll get up right away." The old lady said tremblingly, holding on to the tree next to her and getting up with a grin. Yu Zhongyang's hands were weak, so he pushed the old lady and held her waist. Oops, that's still strong.
Go outside and help carry things.
Fortunately, there were two servants behind, helping to carry the gifts in. One stayed to look at the things while the other secretly went to call someone.
Yu Shuxing was the last one to get off the carriage. The carriage turned around and left through the back door. Yu Shuxing then entered. The mother-in-law hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
Yu Shuxing glanced at the mother-in-law coldly, turned around and strode inside. If the mother-in-law hadn't known that this was the eldest son of the family, she wouldn't have been able to recognize him at first glance. Not only did the clothes look different from those in the past,
The eldest son has become much leaner, his face is gloomy, and his clothes are messy.
This is still the same richly dressed nobleman from the past.
Aren't the second master and the eldest son recuperating in the mansion? This... this is clearly like returning from a long distance?
The mother-in-law didn't dare to say anything. She closed the back door cautiously, returned to the house early, lay down and screamed. As for other things, she didn't know and didn't dare to ask...
