Red plums reflect youth

One day, in the reception room of Linglongzhai, a servant came to report: "Young master, Zhang Nansu and Zhang Zhizao of the Ministry of Industry want to see you."

"Please!" Liu Qiaoyang touched his chin, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Sure enough."

The thin and frail Zhang Nansu was immediately invited to the elegant reception room. As soon as he was seated, the fine Yuqing tea was served by a clever servant.

Zhang Nansu picked up the exquisite tea bowl, flipped the tea lid over it, and began to thin it.From the beginning to the end, his eyes never met Liu Qiaoyang's confident gaze, but instead evaded him, as if he didn't like communicating with strangers.

Liu Qiaoyang asked, "I don't know why Zhang Zhizao came here?"

Zhang Nansu put down the tea bowl, and said in a deep voice: "Yesterday, the little girl had no shape and disturbed Guizhai." After finishing speaking, he took out the jade pendant and handed it over: "I heard that this piece of ancient jade is the treasure of Guizhai. Come and return."

But Liu Qiaoyang waved his hand and said, "Hey~ Zhang Zhizao is joking. The beautiful jade is given to the beloved, and the things in Linglongzhai are all for those who understand them best. Weaving is for those who understand jade. This piece of jade is given to you. , couldn’t be more suitable.”

In fact, ever since Liu Qiaoyang learned that Zhang Nansu might be an insider in Wang Chenfeng's case, he has been looking for an opportunity to get to know Zhang Nansu.That day, when shopkeeper Bi said that Wan'er was Zhang Nansu's daughter, he had already made up his mind. Zhang Nansu was a jade lover, and he must have known that the jade was worth a lot, but he was given a penny by his daughter for no reason. After buying the money back, he made a reservation for this trip to Linglongzhai.

"Oh?" Zhang Nansu responded noncommittally: "I didn't expect Zhaizhu to have such kindness." As he spoke, he stroked the jade pendant in his hand with his thumb, and looked at the jade pendant with admiration in his eyes: "This jade is indeed very rare... I don’t get paid for nothing, I just don’t know if I can help the Veteran.”

"Zhang Zhizao really understands." Liu Qiaoyang smiled slightly: "I just want to find someone."

"who?"

"A woman."

"Woman?" Zhang Nansu looked at Liu Qiaoyang puzzled, wondering what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd.His eyes were still cautious.

Liu Qiaoyang nodded: "Presumably Zhang Zhizao still remembers the case of Wang Chenfeng back then. The Wang family ransacked and beheaded, but one woman happened to be missed."

"Huh?" Zhang Nansu's eyes suddenly flashed a hint of gloom, and his tone became defensive: "How did you know? Why are you looking for her?"

"Alas..." Liu Qiaoyang sighed: "It's a long story... She is my aunt who was separated from her family when she was very young. My father always wanted to find her, but later found out that she was taken in by Wang Chenfeng. Go, I wanted to meet each other, but Wang Chenfeng suddenly fell from the horse, and ended up beheading all the families. But... among those who were beheaded, she was not there... Recently, I accidentally learned that Zhang Zhizao followed his father to investigate Wang's family. case, that’s why I wanted to find out about her from you.” Then he said sincerely, “I know that weaving is inconvenient...but...my father has always wanted to find out where my aunt is, and to make up for what the Liu family owed her..."

Fu Yongbin once revealed that he used Wu Nianzi's vase to frame Wang Chenfeng and Qin Hui. The Zhang family was the one who investigated and dealt with it at that time. This important vase fell into the hands of Zhang Shilang in the end, and the Zhang family must have participated in the frame-up.Liu Qiaoyang naturally knew that Zhang Nansu would never tell the whole story about the whole story, so he just wanted to know the whereabouts of Ziqing's mother by making indirect remarks.The people who died unjustly were all servants of Wang Chenfeng's family. It was not heard that there was an unidentified, young and beautiful woman, and the Zhang family was in charge of investigating the case, so it is very likely that they knew the whereabouts of this woman.That's why Liu Qiaoyang asked this question.It's just...Qiao Yang, is it really okay for you to have a relationship like this?

"Young Master Liu, you don't need to look any further...she has already passed away." The answer was cold, but with a bit of grief.

"Passed away..." Liu Qiaoyang said sadly, "Alas... aunt... Father will never see you for the last time... Why did you go with Wang Chenfeng like this?"

Liu Qiaoyang thought that Ziqing's mother died of grief because of Wang Chenfeng's arrest, so she couldn't help but feel emotional, and the acting also had three parts of true emotion.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Nansu said angrily and sinisterly: "Wanru will not die because of that kind of person."

What a shrewd person Liu Qiaoyang was, when he caught this sentence, he immediately realized that something was wrong. It seemed... Zhang Nansu had a deep affection for that woman.

Act now!

Liu Qiaoyang walked over and held Zhang Nansu's arm emotionally, and said excitedly: "You know what she's doing right! Did she live well in the end? How did she die... where was she buried... oh... my poor aunt Ah." The voice was concerned and sad, and it was like a filial son and grandson, which made people feel moved.

It's just... Liu Qiaoyang suddenly sensed a flaw... If Zhang Nansu knew the woman's background, wouldn't his nephew who ran out of thin air be... um... How can this lie be made good...

"Alas..." But Zhang Nansu sighed, patted Liu Qiaoyang's hand and said, "If Wanru knows that her family misses her so much, she will feel relieved even under Jiuquan. She always thought that she was a worthless person." Orphans that people want..."

What a coincidence... Liu Qiaoyang felt that he should go to the temple to burn incense and make a wish when he turned around. Thank you Buddha for his blessing.

"Then she..." Liu Qiaoyang said tremblingly.

Zhang Nansu lowered his eyebrows and said leisurely: "The last few years of her life were very good. After Wang Chenfeng's accident, she met a man who took her out of the house. She had a lovely child. It's just that... she died because of dystocia in giving birth to that child." The tone was pitiful and sad.

"That's it...God treats her well..." Liu Qiaoyang frowned slightly. Could it be that the person she met was Zhang Nansu? "Why does Wang Chenfeng refuse to give her a title?"

"That bastard..." Zhang Nansu gritted his teeth and said, "Because of her humble status, she is afraid of polluting the lintel of his royal family."

"Oh...then she followed Wang Chenfeng for no apparent reason?" Liu Qiaoyang responded, thinking to herself, so Zhang Nansu knew that woman well, so why didn't he know about Ziqing's existence?If that woman had been alive since then, why didn't she just abandon Ziqing just to see her own flesh and blood?

But I heard Zhang Nansu continue to say: "Yes, even the flesh and blood of her and Wang Chenfeng were sent to someone to be raised."

"Ah!...So that's how it is." Liu Qiaoyang couldn't help feeling sad for Ziqing: "I didn't expect Wang Chenfeng to be such a hypocrite. It's really hard for Aunt Wanru... Fortunately, in the end, she has a good home... That beloved is you, uncle."

"Ah..." Zhang Nansu sighed sadly: "Wanru has passed away for so many years... I miss her all the time, what a gentle and beautiful woman she is."

Liu Qiaoyang nodded emotionally: "Thank you...Thank you...Father will be pleased to hear that she was happy too. I don't know where she is buried. The younger generation wants to pay homage..."

Zhang Nansu closed his eyes tremblingly: "The Zhang family cemetery on the outskirts of the city."
