In fact, Lian Xiaoxiao was not asleep, she just didn't dare to face it. She closed her eyes and listened to the conversation between Lian Suisui and Xiao Tao, and tears of disappointment flowed down her eyes again.
"What's wrong with life? It's obviously evil people who do evil, so why do you blame the victims? Xiaotao, your logic is wrong."
Lian Suisui pointed his finger on Xiao Tao's forehead.
"Even if you are extremely smart, people's hearts are unpredictable. People have seven emotions and six desires, and others will always catch their weaknesses and plot against them. We can't be decadent just because of a momentary weakness. Think carefully about how to break the situation!"
Xiao Tao thought for a while.
"Miss, I feel that the situation at hand is difficult to solve. Only if Qi Wenlin relents and promises not to spread the matter, can our family's dignity be preserved."
Xiao Tao's thinking is still too conservative, even Sui Sui is much more direct.
"Only the dead can keep secrets. The road outside is slippery. Do you think Qi Wenlin can die if he falls?"
Xiaotao's eyes widened.
"Miss, you want to kill someone for money..."
Lian Suisui covered her mouth.
"I didn't say I was going to take action. I just prayed that he would be hit by a car when he went out."
The topic was changed, Lian Suisui looked back at the sleeping Lian Xiaoxiao, shushed, and quietly went out and closed the door.
Nothing can happen to people in her home, so now she can't do anything.
Moreover, she didn't really intend to kill people. Evil people must be punished by evil people. She had to find a way to make Qi Wenlin taste the bitter pill. That would be interesting!
After hearing that Lian Suisui helped him find a solution without blaming her at all, Lian Xiaoxiao's cold limbs gradually became warmer.
In order to deal with the matter, Lin Dexian learned about the incident, and Lian Jialiang was forced to go to the ancestral hall to think about his mistakes.
Mrs. Zhang was making a fuss in her yard to ask for a doctor. Lian Fangyu was annoyed that Lian Jialiang was so bold that he dared to gamble, and even more annoyed that he actually plotted against his sister. Mrs. Zhang made such a fuss that he simply hid in the study and refused to see her. .
When it comes to matters involving Zhang and Lian Jialiang, Qin usually doesn't come forward to avoid making too many mistakes and being blamed by Lian Fangyu.
When Mrs. Zhang couldn't see Lian Fangyu, she scolded Mrs. Qin in the courtyard. The words were passed to the main courtyard. Mrs. Qin sneered and asked her servants to pass the words to the study in front.
She scolded Mrs. Qin harshly, scolding Mr. Qin for deliberately trying to harm Lian Jialiang, and Ms. Qin for being jealous of her giving birth to her eldest son...
"That's enough for you!" Lian Fangyu came in with a sullen face and scolded, "You raised a good son. I sent him to the academy. But he was addicted to gambling and owed a lot of debt. Now the creditor is here. Yes, my future was almost implicated by that traitor! Are you making such a fuss for fear that others won’t hear, or that others won’t know what’s going on in our family?”
Zhang was dumbfounded and said in panic: "Did I make a mistake, sir? The eldest son has been very good since he was a child. How could he gamble? Master, has anyone made it clear? It is really the debt owed by the eldest son, not the second son?" "
Lian Jialiang and Lian Jiaying are both studying in the academy. Didn't Lian Jiaying pretend to be her son to sign an IOU for others?
"It's already this time and you still want to pass the responsibility to others? From today on, don't leave this yard anymore and reflect on it!"
Raising children was originally the responsibility of the matron, but after Mrs. Zhang gave birth to Lian Jialiang, she couldn't bear to raise her in Mrs. Qin's lap. She and her childhood sweetheart Lian Fangyu came forward to discuss it with Mrs. Qin. Mrs. Qin simply let all the children be raised. The concubine's children follow their aunt and are not well-educated, so there is no need to find fault with her.
In this way, those who have no resentment in Lian Fangyu can only take out their temper on Mrs. Zhang. No matter how much grievances Ms. Zhang has, she can only bear it herself.
"No one is allowed to give him anything!"
Lian Fangyu had high hopes for Lian Jialiang, but now he was so angry. Mrs. Zhang felt distressed, so she could only secretly send someone to give Lian Jialiang some food and drink.
At this season, the ancestral hall was no different from an ice cellar, even colder than the ice cellar. Lian Jialiang huddled in the corner, almost unconscious from the cold.
Lian Suisui quietly came to his side and looked at him condescendingly.
Lian Jialiang suddenly woke up and almost jumped up in fright!
"Shh, brother, it's me..."
Lian Suisui lit a lamp and opened the food box he was carrying.
"I'm here to bring you food."
Lian Jialiang was so hungry that his chest pressed against his back, so he immediately took it and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Third sister is still nice to me..."
"Well, brother, let me ask you something..."
Lian Jialiang has been beaten up, blood is still oozing from the wounds on his body, and he is dizzy from hunger. At this time, he will answer anything you ask him. As long as he gets out quickly, the ancestral hall is a place where memorial tablets are placed. Not for humans.
"you say!"
Lian Suisui thought for a moment and asked, "How did you meet Mr. Qi?"
Mr. Qin had also asked this question, and he answered without thinking: "We met in the academy. We were not familiar with each other at first. Later, he found out who I was, and we gradually became familiar with each other."
Lian Suisui said oh.
"Then when did you get into gambling?"
"It didn't take long. The Qi family used to do business. The whole family was a merchant. Our court had regulations that merchants could not study for the imperial examination. Their family later donated money to buy land and became landlords. The family was rich."
"Everyone in the academy loves to compare with each other. I'm not convinced by Brother Qi all the time. So I listened to others and tried my luck in the gambling house. I was very lucky at the beginning, but then I lost more and more. More and more, the money I owe is getting more and more unpaid.”
He took a bite of the chicken leg and complained, "Auntie, just give me some porridge. My sister is honest, she has wine and meat!"
"and after?"
Lian Suisui took the jug.
Lian Jialiang burped and his mouth was full of oil.
"Later on, I didn't ask Brother Qi to help me find a way to steal the land deed from my house to appease the people who live in the gambling house. Once they find the academy, I will be finished! I will pay back the money when I become rich!"
He spoke so easily that Lian Suisui was speechless.
"So those IOUs in Qi Wenlin's arms were all written by you?"
Lian Jialiang nodded and admitted generously: "I wrote it. It is natural to pay back debts. When I pass the exam, let dad move around in the court again and find someone to gain employment. Isn't it just tens of thousands of taels of silver?" Yes, it will be returned soon."
"Then why are you plotting against Fourth Sister?"
Lian Jialiang choked for a moment and said nonchalantly: "That's not true. The affairs of the Qi family can no longer be hidden. Brother Qi has been kicked out of the house. He has resentment in his heart and asked me to help him find a solution."
"I thought that although his family was rich, they used to be merchants. The men in the family never married wives with high status. Our family is a Beijing official after all, and my father's position is not low. If he becomes our family Son-in-law, his family doesn’t have to carry a sedan chair to invite him back!"
"So, this suggestion was made by you?"
Lian Jialiang nodded.
"How about it, I'm smart, right?"
You are really smart!
This looks like a game!
He owed tens of thousands of taels of silver, but the Qi family didn't pursue it. What else could it be?
According to what he said, the Qi family didn't owe any money at all. What did they lack?
Qi Wenlin even carried the IOU with him, just because the Qi family had some back-up plans and he wasn't afraid that he wouldn't fall for it!
Even if it's too soft, it can be hard. They tied up Qi Wenlin today, and it's estimated that Qi Wenlin's family will come to ask for him tomorrow!
Lian Suisui snatched the chicken leg that Lian Jialiang stuffed into his mouth and threw it back into the food box.
"Eat whatever you want, you still have the nerve to eat it!"
