Re-embroidering life

Speaking of Ji family's internal affairs, Tang Fu felt it inconvenient to stay any longer and had to get up and say goodbye.

Shui Qinghua smiled and said, "It's not easy for Miss Tang to come all the way here, why don't I take Miss Tang out?"

In front of Old Mrs. Ji, Tang Fu smiled sweetly and nodded in thanks.

The two of them walked out of the main hall one after the other and came to a secluded corridor.

"What do you want to tell me?" Tang Fu put away his smile and looked at Shui Qinghua coldly.

"It's not what I want to say, but what does Miss Tang want to do? Have you forgotten that you are already a married woman? You should go back to Jiangnan." Shui Qinghua also said coldly.

Tang Fu's eyes were burning with anger and reluctance. "If I hadn't broken off the engagement, how could a country girl like you get to marry Zimo?"

"Then why do you want to break off the engagement?"

"I'm not the one who wants to cancel the engagement!"

"You want to say that you don't want to cancel the engagement, and it was your brother who forced you to do so. But if you really love him and fight hard, I don't believe your brother can do it so easily. But I heard that the marriage was canceled smoothly. It's obvious that you also feel in your heart that the Ji family is ruined, Ji Zimo has no future, and is not worthy of you, the eldest daughter of an official family! You were willing to marry to Jiangnan, but your husband turned out to be a sickly man, so you were not satisfied again. When you returned to Jiangxia, you found that Ji Zimo had become a disciple of a famous teacher, and the Ji family also showed signs of revival, so you wanted to renew your relationship!" Shui Qinghua finished speaking in one breath, and every word was like a knife and an arrow, piercing Tang Fu's blood.

She gasped and wanted to refute, but couldn't utter a word.

"Miss Tang, the world does not revolve around you. Don't say that Zimo told me that he is not familiar with you. Even if you were childhood sweethearts and loved each other, there is no reason for him to let you come and go at will! The past is long gone, you should return to Jiangnan as soon as possible to take care of your husband." Shui Qinghua turned around and walked a few steps, then turned back and added, "By the way, the Snow Lotus Pill that Madam Chen promised you is mine. You don't have to thank me for saving my life."

After saying that, he walked away, leaving Tang Fu standing there, pale as paper, trembling all over.

Shui Qinghua walked to the corner of the corridor, and suddenly an arm stretched out and grabbed her. Before she could come to her senses, she was tightly wrapped in the smell of pine smoke. Her waist was firmly fixed, her lips were fiercely kissed, and her forehead, face, and nose were also hit by a storm of hot kisses one after another. The storm slowly turned into a gentle breeze and drizzle, and their lips touched each other gently, reluctant to separate for a long time.

After a long time, the breath subsided.

"Did you hear everything?" Shui Qinghua asked, their foreheads touching.

"I heard it. I was worried that she would bully you, so I followed her out. I didn't expect that my wife would be so domineering and kill everyone." Ji Zimo said jokingly.

Shui Qinghua chuckled sheepishly.

"Today I finally feel relieved."

"What are you worried about?"

"My wife does have me in her heart."

Shui Qinghua rolled her eyes fiercely.

Ji Zimo looked at her with eyes so gentle that they could squeeze water out of her: "Qinghua, I am yours, and I love you."

Shui Qinghua's mind went blank. In her previous life, she had waited for these words for many years, but she never got them. In this life, she finally heard them, but her mood was different after all.

Ji Zimo waited for a while, but didn't hear Shui Qinghua say the same "I like you", and he felt a little disappointed, but then he thought that women are shy by nature, so it doesn't matter if they can't say it, as long as she has him in her heart.

The two were cuddling, and the sound of porcelain breaking on the ground pierced the sweet atmosphere. The couple hurriedly walked hand in hand to the main hall.

In the hall, the old lady's favorite pastel teacup was lying on the ground, broken into pieces, with tea mixed with tea leaves splashing everywhere. Tan Meixue knelt on the ground, curled up in a ball, while Sun Xiaolan sat quietly beside her, calm and composed.

"Mother, what happened?" Ji Zimo asked in surprise.

The old lady was so angry that she couldn't speak, so Qinyun, who was beside her, asked her to tell her the whole story.

It turned out that when Sun Xiaolan was looking at the account book recently, she found that there was something strange in the account. She didn't trust the accountant in the front yard, so she secretly showed the account book to the manager of her dowry shop. After looking at it, she found that a sum of money had been embezzled last month, and this month it was filled up under other names. After checking back, it was found that this kind of embezzlement was regular, and it happened every other month. Today, Sun Xiaolan took the account book to interrogate Tan Meixue. Tan Meixue couldn't deny it, so she had to admit that she took the family money out to lend money at high interest rates, and filled it back when she received the money. This cycle has been going on for more than half a year, but fortunately nothing has happened.

The old lady was furious. Lending money at high interest was against the law. She had always been proud of the Ji family's good family tradition. The Ji family members always stood up straight and lived honest lives. Unexpectedly, her eldest son and his wife, whom she entrusted with important tasks, first had the Ji family blocked at the door by the gambling house thugs and scolded, and then took the risk of lending money at high interest to fill the hole of gambling debts.

The old lady was disheartened. She smashed her teacup, lost her temper, and shed tears. Things had to have a conclusion, so she said to Sun Xiaolan, "Second daughter-in-law, don't go back to the southwest. Stay at home and take care of the household." She then said sternly to Tan Meixue, "First daughter-in-law, go back to your own courtyard and reflect on your mistakes. Don't come out without my order."

Tan Meixue let out a suppressed cry.

The old lady seemed to have lost all her energy and spirit, and she stood up tremblingly. Qinyun and Qinxin hurried forward to support her. The old lady waved her hand, signaling her sons and daughters-in-law to leave, and walked away hunched over.

When leaving the mansion, Sun Xiaolan glanced at Shui Qinghua and asked quietly, "Third sister-in-law, how did you know there was something fishy in the account book?"

Shui Qinghua lowered her eyes and said, "I guessed it. My eldest sister-in-law was in huge debt. In order to extort money, she even took the meager share of the third wife. How could she not have her eyes on the public money? So I reminded my second sister-in-law. I didn't expect that she would be so bold as to lend money at high interest."

Sun Xiaolan admired Shui Qinghua's cleverness.

Shui Qinghua was not guessing. In the previous life, a few years later, Tan Meixue's loan sharking was exposed, and the victim came to the door and threatened to sue the officials. At that time, Ji Zixuan had been reinstated, and he used money and power to suppress the matter. At that time, the second sister-in-law was far away in the southwest, and she was seriously ill. After Tan Meixue was severely punished by the old lady, she was still able to continue to be the head of the family.

Shui Qinghua thought about this and worked his way back in time, thinking that the eldest sister-in-law might have already started lending money at high interest rates, so he hinted to the second sister-in-law to send the account book out for a look.

Tan Meixue alone was already difficult to deal with. If she colluded with Tang Fu inside and outside, it would be a huge threat to him. So this time, he had to completely overthrow Tan Meixue and make sure she would never be able to take power in the inner house.

Sometimes Shui Qinghua was puzzled. How could a man like Ji Zixuan, who was so scheming and calculating, marry such a stupid and shallow woman? On second thought, it was a good thing. If Tan Meixueruo was at the same level as Ji Zixuan, she would die without knowing how she died.
