Wei Jingwei glanced over with cold eyes, twitched the corner of her mouth, and said with a sarcastic expression, "Is this how Zhao Gu is? Why did I hear your fellow villagers talk about you like this when I sent someone there?"
"They said you had a bad relationship with your mother-in-law. When your mother-in-law was still alive, the house was in a state of chaos all day long. There were fights and fights every now and then. Your mother-in-law passed away not long after that."
Mrs. Zhao Gu's heart skipped a beat at Wei Jingwei's words, and she looked a little embarrassed, "They are all lies. How do outsiders like them know about my family's affairs, madam..."
This Zhao Gushi is a good player who knows how to advance and retreat. No wonder Zhang Ruoruo has been suppressed by her.
He was deliberately provocative just now, but now he immediately retreats to advance.
"That's right. You can't always believe what outsiders say." Wei Jingwei's tone was calm, but there was an indescribable force of deterrence in her tone.
Zhao Gushi nodded repeatedly, yes.
After they parted ways, Mrs. Zhao Gu turned her eyes to Zhang Ruoruo who was standing next to her, looked her up and down, and saw a solid gilt bracelet in her hand. Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she took her hand very carefully. looked at.
"Oh, now you have finally come to the end of your hardships. Look at Dai, that's a good thing that we can't see there." He rolled his eyes, "Hey, I haven't caught anything in my life. Why don't you take off some decent jewelry and let me wear it? Otherwise, people will say I'm your relative, which will embarrass you."
Zhang Ruoruo was a little displeased and rubbed the gilt bracelet on her hand with her fingers. These were the only pieces of jewelry she had left. She was really reluctant to give them to Mrs. Zhao Gu.
After serving Mei's mother for so long, she still told Mei Yuanqing what she heard from Zhao Gu yesterday. That night, he came to her yard and made a big fuss. She tried her best and finally managed to I just brushed the matter over.
Zhao Gushi probably saw what she was thinking, and curled her lips, "Now that I have become rich, I don't look down on us anymore. I can't bear to part with a bracelet. Don't blame me for saying anything nice when you look back... ..."
Zhao Cai also helped: "Yes, your parents went away before, but my parents looked at you pitifully and brought you back. Do you know what repaying a favor is? Looking back, you, the one in this house, I know you are such a person, it’s up to you what to do.”
If Zhao Gushi was using coercion and inducement, Zhao Cai was an obvious threat.
Zhang Ruoruo's face turned ugly for a moment, then he stiffly took off the bracelet from his hand and angrily stuffed it into Mrs. Zhao Gu's arms.
As soon as she got it, Zhao Gu couldn't wait to put it on her hand. Her hand was bigger, so even though the size didn't fit, she still squeezed it in reluctantly.
Zhao Hu, who was watching the whole process, grinned.
"You stinky bitch, if you can't wear it, don't wear it. It's better to sell this kind of bracelet and then use it to pay for me and my son to go out for fun."
"I'm keeping it. Will I need money for my son's marriage in the future?" Mrs. Zhao Gu wiped the bracelet and raised her arm to look more and more satisfied.
In Hongxia Pavilion, Lian'er recounted the conversation between Zhang Ruoruo and the Zhao family after they left.
"Zhang Ruoruo still wants to use Zhao Gu to bully the young lady. You know, Zhao Gu is a smart person. It doesn't matter if you are a fool. You don't know what to measure."
Wei Jingwei took a bite of the snack. She wasn't full this morning, so this snack was enough to fill her stomach.
"The Zhao family is going to have a lot of trouble in the future, let's wait and see."
The Mei Mansion is now an empty shell. The Zhao family obviously came here to make a fortune. How can the Mei family provide it?
What will the Zhao family do when their hopes are dashed?
Wei Jingwei was already looking forward to it.
That night, when Mei Yuanqing returned to the mansion, he saw three people sitting together in Ci'an Hall.
Mei's mother's face was partly helpless, partly disdainful, and partly disgusted.
When he saw his son coming, a smile appeared on his face, "I'm back. I'm tired today."
Mei Yuanqing Shi Ran walked in, wearing a brocade robe and black boots, and the Zhao family's father and son exchanged glances.
He stood up and greeted her very diligently. Zhao Cai even grabbed Mei Yuanqing's shoulders very familiarly and called out, "Brother and sister."
Mei Yuanqing's face stiffened, and then he took a step back.
Zhao Cai was not angry even though his hand was empty. He still said with a smile: "My brothers and sisters are officials, and they are high officials. It is natural for them to look down on us relatives from the countryside."
Zhao Gushi's eyes were wandering over the things he was wearing, and she said in her heart, good things, all good things!
If you sell this, how much will you get?
"I heard that you are here, and I only have time to meet you today. I haven't asked you if your stay is comfortable yet." Mei Yuanqing selectively ignored the above sentence and said lightly on his face.
Zhao Gushi patted her thigh exaggeratedly, "Oh, this house is the most beautiful I have ever seen in my life. Is there anything I can't get used to living in?"
Zhao Hu also smiled and said, "I came to Beijing and heard that there is a very good Zuixian Restaurant in Beijing. I haven't eaten there yet."
Zuixianlou is a time-honored restaurant in Beijing, and its food is very delicious.
It has always been a place where literati would like to go. The price is not cheap, and it is usually a place where the rich and powerful go.
The decoration is beautiful, and there are beautiful women playing, playing and singing to add to the fun.
Mei Yuanqing frowned. He didn't know where the Zhao family heard this from, but that place was not something he could afford now. Just when he was about to refuse, Zhao Hu said again: "Is it possible that the uncle doesn't want to invite us?" Well, it doesn’t make sense that this relative came all the way to visit him but he didn’t take him out to see him.”
"That's right, I see that you live in such a big house, don't you still need a little money?"
These few words made Mei Yuanqing's chest hurt. He couldn't just say it. Isn't it really inappropriate for him to have the money he currently has?
He usually cares about face the most. Whenever he is looked down upon or ridiculed by, he will feel uncomfortable for a long time. What's more, the Zhao family is just a bunch of idiots. How can they be looked down upon?
He immediately said that he might as well go somewhere to have a meal tonight as a way to cleanse himself from their troubles.
Seeing that he agreed, Zhao Hu immediately put on a smiling expression and patted his shoulder with such force that Mei Yuanqing almost fell backwards.
"You are indeed a good person, I read that right. Now that Ruoruo marries you, it will be a happy life."
He usually didn't hear much of this kind of flattery, but now his son was enjoying it very much and had a smile on his face.
Several people came to Zuixian Tower. Mei Yuanqing took the Zhao family and his son in. The waiter greeted them with a busy smile, "Sir, what position do you want today."
