Chapter 255 256 A Guilty Conscience

Li Yu smiled and said, "They look very similar. I was also shocked. I thought they were my mother's sisters!"

Mrs. Lin asked in a panic: "I wonder where Madam's mother lives now?"

"My mother!" Li Yu looked at the way Lin's Baba looked at him and said, "My mother now lives in Xishan Village, Qingshui Town, Qingshan County."

Li Yu saw Mrs. Lin lowering her head immediately after hearing this, not knowing what she was thinking.

When Wang Qinghai saw Mrs. Lin bowing her head and saying nothing, she bowed and saluted: "Madam, my cousin and cousin were offended a lot today at Zhou Ji Bao Shop. The official and my second aunt prepared some small gifts to apologize to madam and ask for your forgiveness." crime."

Li Yu smiled and said: "It turns out those two girls are Mr. Wang's younger sisters! They were disrespectful to me, and I have already taught them a lesson. But Mr. Wang, your sister should also teach you the rules, in case it happens again in the future. If you offend someone you shouldn’t offend, I’m afraid you’ll get into trouble.”

Wang Qinghai did not expect that Li Yu would let Ah Yue and the others go so easily. He bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you madam for your magnanimity. My great-aunt has already punished them severely."

Li Yu nodded and picked up the tea cup. Wang Qinghai stood up and saluted: "Thank you, madam! Let's take our leave."

Li Yu said politely: "Master Wang, walk slowly." Mrs. Lin stood up and took a peek at Li Yu, then followed Wang Qinghai without saying a word.

Li Yu sat there and thought for a while, then went back and wrote a letter and handed it to Ruyi and said: "Ruyi, go to Sihai Bank to find Shopkeeper Chu and ask him to help check the maiden family of the second wife of the Wang family, Lin."

Ruyi took the letter and said strangely: "Madam, when Jixiang came back, he said that the woman in the bakery looks like you. Just now, Mrs. Lin looked so similar to you. The old lady is also named Lin. Is there something fishy in this? "

Li Yu nodded: "So please ask Shopkeeper Chu to help me check Lin's natal family."

"I'll go right away." Ruyi stepped back and turned around to deliver the letter.

After Mrs. Lin and Wang Qinghai left the house, they took one look at the gloomy sky and felt cold all over. After getting in the car, they leaned on the maid Yingge in a daze. The maid next to her felt that she was shivering and asked worriedly: "Mrs. , are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Mrs. Lin stabilized her mind, nodded and said, "It's probably because I caught the wind and cold. I feel a little chilly and achy all over."

Wang Qinghai leaned on the small table on the carriage and thought: Why does Mrs. Li look so similar to her second aunt? Why did the second aunt lose her composure after seeing Mrs. Li? Could it be that Mrs. Li is the child of the second aunt's old friend?

Back at the palace, the maid reported to Mrs. Wang that Mrs. Lin had caught the cold and was afraid that she should go back to rest first. Wang Qinghai told the story of how he met Li Yu to apologize. After thinking for a moment, Mrs. Wang said : "Mrs. Li is a generous person, but Ah Yue is a little spoiled. Your second aunt and I can't bring ourselves to punish her harshly. It seems that we have to ask a nanny to come back and teach her the rules."

Wang Qinghai thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Grandma-aunt, the second aunt and Mrs. Li are indeed very similar in appearance. People who don't know better may think that the two are blood relatives!"

Mrs. Wang seemed to remember something, her eyes lit up and she asked: "Is it really so similar?"

"There are seven to eight points of likeness." Wang Qinghai affirmed.

Mrs. Wang opened her mouth, thought about it, shook her head, swallowed the words that were on her lips, and said a little tiredly: "Qinghai, you go back first!"

Wang Qinghai bowed and said, "Okay, if you need something, please send someone to call me." Mrs. Wang nodded and had someone send him out.

Mrs. Lin returned to her yard and said to Yingge: "Go and call Aunt Han. I have something to tell her."

"Yes, madam." Yingge stepped back and asked Aunt Han to go. Mrs. Lin rubbed her temples and leaned on the big pillow. After a while, an old woman with a shrewd face and neat face came in. Mrs. Lin's eyes turned red when she saw Aunt Han, and Aunt Han pulled her hand in distress. He held up his hand and asked: "Madam, what's wrong with you? Is the master messing around with women again?"

Madam Lin grabbed Aunt Han in fear and said in a trembling voice: "Nanny, Jin Niang is still here. I saw the girl she gave birth to, and she looks exactly like her."

Aunt Han helped Mrs. Lin sit on the couch and comforted her softly: "What's going on? Tell me!"

Mrs. Lin told Aunt Han about seeing Li Yu. Aunt Han was also surprised after hearing this. Thinking about the situation at that time, she calmly shook her head: "It's impossible. I pushed her down the mountain stream with my own hands. She A charming young lady raised in a boudoir who doesn't know how to swim will definitely not survive. Besides, the place is in the wild mountains, only half a month away from Qingshui Town."

Mrs. Lin restlessly leaned on Nanny Han's shoulder: "I know it too, but I always feel that something will happen and my retribution is coming."

Aunt Han hugged Mrs. Lin and comforted her with a gentle voice: "Girl, don't be afraid. Even if there is retribution, it will still be the sin committed by the old lady. Besides, that lady just looks similar to Miss Jin."

Mrs. Lin slowly calmed down under the comfort of Aunt Han, raised her head and said, "You are right, she knew we went to Yunzhou. If she was still here, why didn't she come to Yunzhou to find us?"

Aunt Han nodded, took a thin quilt to cover Mrs. Lin, looked at her lovingly and said: "That's right, sometimes you scare yourself. Please rest for a while, and I will bring you a cup of bird's nest." Come." Mrs. Lin nodded and lay down.

Zhou Jia went home from the Yamen. After dinner, Li Yu told Zhou Jia that after the conflict with Wang's woman in the afternoon, Wang Qinghai brought Lin to apologize, and also told Zhou Jia about his suspicions about Lin. Said it for a while.

After hearing this, Zhou Jia also felt that there was something wrong with Mrs. Lin's appearance, and said to Li Yu: "Yu'er, you are right to ask Shopkeeper Chu to check it out. There are too many secrets in the mansion. Some people have become vicious and have done things like this." You can’t even dream of it.”

Li Yu thought about it and said, "Well! Let's not talk about it anymore, Xiao Xi. I want to tell you that I want to go to Dafeng Mountain in Fuxing Town. That's where the little girl Gu Yu came from. I heard her talk about the people in the village. They don’t even have enough to eat, so I wanted to see if I could help them.”

Zhou Jia knew that Li Yu couldn't stay idle at home, so he wanted her to go for a walk. He smiled and said, "I'm going to clear out the inventory in two days. You can go to Dafeng Mountain if you want to, but don't go there." If we go deep into the mountains, Yang'er will stay at home, and I will go home as soon as possible to take him with me."

Li Yu held Zhou Jia's arm and said sweetly, "I know."

Yangyang and Qijin came back from the back garden with Jixiang and Zhaocai. When they saw Zhou Jia throw away Jixiang's hand, they ran to Zhou Jia with open arms and hugged Zhou Jia's legs: "Dad, is Master back yet?" ?”

Zhou Jia hugged Yangyang and said with a warm smile: "We, Yangyang, miss our master, don't we? The master will be back in two days."

"Well! Yangyang misses his master."

Zhou Jia said to Jixiang and Zhaocai: "You two, stop looking for business and take a good rest. You see, seven pounds is already so big. It's time for you two to marry your wife. Let your wife take care of herself." Let me choose for you, or just like Ruyi, tell me what you like and I will make the decision for you."
