Delicate Flower Chapter 10: Goodbye
Although Yu Tang's words were plausible and sound, he felt very sorry in his heart.
It was her fault for taking advantage of the Pei family.
But besides this method, she had no other option.
She secretly thought that after this incident was over, she would definitely go to the temple to light an everlasting lamp for the old man of the Pei family, and thank the Pei family for their protection of their family and their neighbors over the years. If given the opportunity to do something within her power for the Pei family, she would do her best without any ambiguity.
Lu Xin was dubious about Yu Tang's words.
But don’t be afraid of something like this, just in case.
The Yu family and the Pei family did not move much, but a few days ago he personally built a bridge and invited the imperial doctor from the Pei family to treat Yu Chen. Yu Wen once said that he would invite relatives to the Pei family to thank Mr. Pei. , who knows what was said between them?
Thinking of this, he felt regretful and wanted to stamp his feet.
If he had known this, he would have ignored the Yu family's affairs.
But regardless of the Yu family's affairs, how could Yu Wen easily spend two hundred taels of silver to buy that painting?
Lu Xin struggled: "I want to go to your father! I owe him the favor of saving my wife, but he treats me like this!"
Yu Tang looked at him condescendingly and said, "Do you think I dare to do this without my father's permission? My father just doesn't want to see his best brother look like a scoundrel." Then, she winked at A Tiao and said, "Send the person to Shopkeeper Tong first, and then argue with him tomorrow."
A Tiao responded "Yes" loudly.
Lu Xin suddenly panicked and said in a stern tone: "What do you want? Aren't you afraid that your reputation will be ruined and you won't be able to get married in the future?"
Yu Tang said nonchalantly: "You deceived our family into ruins. How can I marry into a good family?"
The two exchanged words with each other, but Lu Xin was worried about the Pei family and asked: "Do you want any money - I have already spent fifty taels."
Yu Tang asked A Tiao to search him and found 180 taels of silver notes.
She spat at Lu Xin and wrote a document on the spot asking Lu Xin to post it: "Let's make it clear, you voluntarily sell this fake "Picture of Fishing in Songxi" to our family for twenty taels of silver. Establish this as a basis and there will be no entanglements in the future. In addition, I will also give you thirty taels of silver as payment, and this matter will be settled."
How could Lu Xin be so willing?
Yu Tang threatened him: "It is said that many people were burned to death on Changxing Street. If I hide you here, I don't know when you will be discovered."
Lu Xin stared at Yu Tang resentfully like a poisonous snake.
In his previous life, Yu Tang had encountered something even more embarrassing than this, and he had already developed a heart of stone.
She pressed Lu Xin's hand as if no one was watching, put away the documents, threw thirty taels of silver notes to Lu Wen, and told him to get out. He took out another twenty taels of silver, thanked the woman for helping, and sent her away, then let out a long sigh of relief.
A Tiao said worriedly: "Miss, Lu Xiucai won't go to the master to complain, right?"
Yu Tang patted the document that he put in the purse at his waist and said, "If he has that face, go and sue him."
A Tiao felt relieved and began to feel sorry for the thirty taels of silver: "Why did you give him so much silver?"
Yu Tang said nonchalantly: "Barefoot people are not afraid of people wearing shoes. Isn't he in a hurry to go to the capital? We won't give him a penny and cut off his thoughts. What if he takes a risk and it's not good for our family? ? Just think of these thirty taels of silver as buying peace."
I hope Lu Xin will never come back after going to the capital like he did in his previous life.
A Tiao responded with a smile.
Yu Tang also felt relieved.
Unexpectedly, she turned around and found a pair of piercing eyes staring at her quietly from the shadow of the broken wall opposite.
Is it the ghost who was burned to death in the sea of fire on Changxing Street?
Yu Tang was frightened to death. He raised his feet and wanted to run. Who knows, his legs seemed to be filled with lead and he couldn't lift them up.
She was trembling and even wanted to hug A Tiao.
The owner of the eyes quietly walked out of the shadow of the broken wall.
The bright moonlight shone on his face.
The eyebrows are trimmed and the eyes are handsome, but the face is like a cold pool, the grace is dignified but the edge is like a sword. The whole person is like the moonlight on this summer night, cold and quiet, with cold light overflowing.
It turned out to be the young and elegant man I met in the **** shop.
Yu Tang’s eyes widened.
How could he do this?
Yu Tang breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, he is a living person, not a ghost!
Yu Tang patted her chest, thinking of this man's attitude towards her when they were in the **** shop, and hesitated to say hello to him. However, the man in green snorted coldly, looked at her and raised his eyebrows, saying: "The Pei family ?You are very familiar with Shopkeeper Tong from the Pei Family Pawnshop? Shopkeeper Tong endorsed you and said that this painting is a fake?"
A strong sense of ridicule came to my face.
Yu Tang's face suddenly turned red and he felt extremely embarrassed.
The most ridiculous things she has done in her life are to go to the Pei family's shop to work as a painter, and the second thing is to use the Pei family's banner to suppress Lu Xin. What she couldn't accept the most was that both of these things happened to the man in front of her.
He must have thought that he was a despicable person with bad moral character.
When he thought of this possibility, Yu Tang felt uncomfortable all over.
She said hurriedly: "No, no! Listen to me, this is for selling paintings to me..."
"If I hadn't seen that the man was selling paintings to you, do you think I would have listened to you bullying others and talking nonsense here?" The man glanced at Yu Tang disdainfully and said sternly, "I remember you at your young age. , also want to recover the property that was defrauded, so I will not pursue this matter with you. If there is a next time, I will not be lenient!"
Turns out he saw it all!
Talk to her with this tone, she is either a member of the Pei family or someone related to the Pei family.
If she had seen someone pretending to be so powerful, she would have jumped up in panic. It's not like he just yelled and finished.
Yu Tang lowered his head and admitted his mistake.
The man strode outside.
Yu Tang hesitated whether to catch up and ask. The man glanced back at her as if he had eyes on the back of his head.
That gaze fell on her like a sharp knife across the sky.
Yu Tang suddenly lost his courage.
Although things happen for a reason, if you do something wrong, you do something wrong. How can she have the nerve to talk to others about things?
The man continued walking forward.
Seven or eight men with strong postures emerged from the burned-out ruins like ghosts and gathered around the man.
It turns out there are so many people on Changxing Street!
Yu Tang was shocked,
The man and the people around him quickly disappeared into the moonlight.
Yu Tang shuddered.
A Tiao seemed to have crawled out of the ice hole, his upper and lower teeth were chattering and he said: "Eldest, eldest lady, who is this? Why is it so gloomy? He will not go to the old man of the Pei family to sue us. Same thing, right?"
Yu Tang smiled bitterly.
What if I sued her?
It was her fault first.
Yu Tang felt complicated and became more and more curious about this man.
She told A Tiao: "Go and ask shopkeeper Tong to find out whose young master this person is?"
A Tiao was a little scared, but thinking about what happened at home these days, she still had to go ahead and accept it.
Yu Tang took the one hundred and fifty taels of silver home, handed it to Yu Wen, and told Yu Wen everything that had happened.
Yu Wen was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and blamed his daughter: "Why are you so brave? A little girl's house actually went to a place like that? If you have someone who is good and bad, you let him What will your mother and I do? And A Tiao, how dare you go to Hua'er Lane and hire a woman to make Lu Xin look embarrassed? If Lu Xin was more generous, he would shamelessly pull you out of the way. , what are you going to do?" He also lamented that the man in green was so well-educated.
"It's my fault!" Yu Tang whispered quickly, talking about shopkeeper Tong's benevolence and righteousness, "Because I didn't know whether the painting was authentic or not, and I didn't have any extra money, so I made an excuse to go to the **** shop. , but actually I want the Pei family to help me. Shopkeeper Tong, please ask your father to prepare some generous gifts to thank him."
Yu Wen nodded repeatedly and said: "It would be better if we could know who the man in Tsing Yi is - and I have to apologize to others."
Yu Tang nodded, raised the painting in his hand, and said, "What should I do with this painting?"
Yu Wen sighed and said: "Stay and think about it! Your Uncle Lu will probably never return to Lin'an after making such a big mistake."
This is the best!
Lest him encourage her father to do this and that every now and then.
Yu Tang said "Oh" and mentioned the old man of the Pei family again, saying: "Dad, when you go to the Pei family, you can ask how the old man of the Pei family has been doing these days! Our family owes their family It’s such a big favor, and if there’s anything we can do to help, we can help.”
Yu Wen glared at her and said, "What does the Pei family want? Does it still need our help?"
Yu Tang chuckled.
Yu Wen thanked the Pei family~IndoMTL.com~ for actually asking Mr. Pei about his condition when he went to the Pei family.
Because the old man of the Pei family invited the imperial doctors Yang and Wang to treat Chen, Yu Wen was sincere, so he did not hide it from him, saying: "It's really not a big deal. I just feel unhappy. , called the second master and the third master back. The third master couldn't sit still, but the second master had always been quiet. In the past few days, he had been drinking tea and talking with the old master, and several famous doctors were sitting here. The old master watched his complexion getting worse day by day. Be good."
As for who the man in Tsing Yi was, the chief steward of the Yu family was vague and did not make it clear.
Yu Wen thought that this must be a member of the Pei family. If others didn't tell him, he couldn't ask more questions. He just remembered this relationship.
He went back and taught Yu Tang a lesson: "If you still behave like this, I'll break your legs!"
Yu Tang obediently stepped forward and squeezed his father's shoulders.
Yu Wen had no choice but to deal with such a daughter and sighed helplessly.
The next day, I went to give shopkeeper Tong Da a gift in person.
Shopkeeper Tong Da laughed loudly after knowing the cause and effect. Not only did he not blame Yu Tang, he also praised Yu Tang for being brave and asked Yu Wen to bring a package of sweet-scented osmanthus cake for Yu Tang to eat.
But he also didn’t tell Yu Wen who the man in green was.
Yu Tang has a better impression of shopkeeper Tong Da.
Yu Wen and Chen were afraid that Yu Tang would go out and cause trouble, so after some discussion, they restrained Yu Tang and kept her at home as a female celebrity.
A Tiao inquired for a long time but still could not find out the identity of the man in the pawnshop that day.
There is nothing Lin'an Mansion can hide from the Pei family.
It can be seen that the Pei family does not want to see her.
Yu Tang gradually stopped thinking about it and slept alone in bed at night. She tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. From time to time, she thought of the way the man looked at her, feeling aggrieved and ashamed.
