Chapter Twenty-Five: Changes in the Zhao Family

You Tingrong's expression suddenly changed, and her autumn-like eyes were filled with surprise and suspicion.

The old lady couldn't help but told the whole story, "Shuntian Prefecture inspected the Zhao family's grain store this morning, and I don't know what happened. Now the store manager and Mr. Zhao have both been jailed for trial, and the store has also been arrested."

Sealed."

You Tingrong frowned slightly, but still couldn't believe it, "Shuntian Mansion? Why did Shuntian Mansion suddenly investigate the rice and grain business?"

The old lady shook her head to express that she was unclear, and just sighed: "Everything in the world is unpredictable! The genius was polishing it today, and dozens of government officials with knives surrounded Zhao's shop. It was very scary!"

Shuntian Mansion is so grand, and the You family found out the whole story after a little inquiry. The old lady was full of sympathy for the Zhao family, and she called them to discuss how to deal with it.

"We took the initiative to post this. If we change our minds because the Zhao family is in trouble, and if word gets out, people will definitely say that we hate the poor and love the rich." The old lady said with a sad face: "The Zhao family is now a

Huo Pi, Rong'er must never consider Mr. Zhao again!"

"Maybe it's just a misunderstanding. We might as well wait a little longer to avoid telling the truth." You Tingrong still trusts Zhao Shaoan's character. The Zhao family has been honest after becoming rich, let alone now.

Furthermore, this clearly did not happen in the previous life.

Shuntian Prefecture is in charge of the administrative affairs of the capital and surrounding counties and towns. Without special policies, how could they have the time to inspect a small grain store?

You Tingrong was thinking about the golden hairpin that she had thrown away at Yongxin Tea House, and Shan Yunxin's warning was still in her ears, "Stay away from Mr. Zhao, Mr. Xue and the like"?

The more she thought about it, the more unsure she became.

She clearly has no entanglement with him in this life. You Tingjiao has become a "favorite concubine" with a bright future in the palace. She doesn't want to be sentimental, but if she is just driven away by Shan Yunxin in such a confused way, she is too passive!

She had to find out the whole story about the Zhao family.

"That's right." The old lady felt that it was reasonable. She was worried that You Tingrong would feel uncomfortable, so she comforted her: "Don't take it to heart. If something happens after our two families have reached an agreement, we will be in a dilemma..."

Before the old lady finished speaking, there was a commotion outside the door, as if Zhou's mother was scolding someone.

After a while, Zhou's mother came in with an unhappy face.

The old lady asked: "What's wrong?"

"It's the concierge, and he has no rules. He came to the inner courtyard. What if he bumped into the masters!" Zhou's mother was unhappy.

"But who is here?" the old lady asked doubtfully. The concierge is an old man of the You family, so he should know the rules.

"It's said that the Zhao family sent a heavy gift, and they made a big fuss." Zhou's mother didn't take it too seriously. How much can a gift be given to someone who is a complete stranger?

The old lady laughed twice and said, "The Zhao family is very considerate, please come in quickly." It was just a verbal agreement, so it was treated seriously.

It was the housekeeper of the Zhao family who came. He was very polite and greeted people to bring things in.

Four heavy, knee-high brown lacquered wooden boxes were carried in by the Zhao family's servants and placed neatly in front of the old lady.

Butler Zhao opened them one by one and said humbly: "Old madam, you are so petty and disrespectful."

You Tingrong glanced at it and felt a little cautious in his heart.

The silks, satins, and jewelry were given to her. If she didn't know that this was an apology, I'm afraid it would be nothing more than a betrothal gift. The Zhao family must have known something when they managed to do this.

The old lady was also shocked, "It's just a trivial matter. If Mrs. Zhao is in trouble, we can fix it another time. We won't be surprised. We don't deserve such a generous gift."

"Thank you, old lady, and Mrs. You for your understanding!" Butler Zhao became more respectful and said with a smile: "What our lady means..."

Butler Zhao was hesitating a lot, and You Tingrong spoke up for him, "If the Zhao family has any difficulties, Butler Zhao might as well just say it."

"That's not true." Butler Zhao waved his hands repeatedly, "It's just that my wife felt that she was presumptuous by reaching out to the You family, so let's leave it at that...these gifts are just an apology for breaking the old lady's trust."

The old lady's face changed again and again. No matter how nice things were said by Butler Zhao, he meant that he had refused openly and refused to even go through the motions. No matter how heavy the gift was, it still changed in the eyes of the old lady.

.

"Mrs. Zhao is very generous." The old lady protracted her tone, obviously she didn't mean what she said.

Butler Zhao was in a state of confusion. What Mrs. Zhao did was strange. Why did she avoid the You family like a tiger? She also specially sent so many things from her daughter's family. If she wanted to please Miss You, why did she do this to offend others?

thing?

As a servant, Butler Zhao could only bow deeply, "Old lady, please accept it!"

You Tingrong slowly exhaled and calmed down.

If I just said that I was just being sentimental, now I have sixty points... This matter must be inseparable from Shan Yunxin!

Mr. Zhao was in prison, and Mrs. Zhao did not want to take care of Shuntian Mansion. Instead, she gave herself such a heavy gift. The gift came, but Mrs. Zhao refused to see You Tingrong. Such a contradictory behavior was clearly because of Zhao.

Madam knows something.

"Do you think, Butler Zhao, that the You family is so shabby that they lack this little silver?" You Tingrong refused to let go easily. She must get to the bottom of the Zhao family's affairs.

Although the old lady was also dissatisfied, she did not reach out to hit the smiling man. You Tingrong made a bad face, so she also turned a white face and said, "Butler Zhao has sent me his thoughts, so I will go back with my things."

The fact that this matter is so confusing shows that the two families are not close enough, so there is no need to force it.

"Ms. You must accept the apology, otherwise my wife will not be able to feel at ease!" Even if Housekeeper Zhao is willing to leave, Mrs. Zhao has repeatedly warned and urged Miss You to calm down.

You Tingrong's face turned cold, "What Butler Zhao means is that as long as your Zhao family feels at ease?"

"This..." Butler Zhao was stunned by what he said. He glanced at You Tingrong and couldn't help but praise him.

Not only was he beautiful in appearance, but also rare in his bearing. At this moment, even though he raised his tone slightly, Butler Zhao felt invisible pressure, as if he was facing someone who had been in a high position for a long time.

"The Zhao family has absolutely no intention of doing this. These gifts are just my wife's wishes. If they offend me, please be lenient!" Butler Zhao quickly explained.

"The old lady is a magnanimous person, so you can rest assured, Madam Zhao." You Tingrong's eyes were so bright that they touched people's hearts, "As for these extraneous things, my You family has always been honest and I can't bear it. Butler Zhao, please go back!"

"

At this point, Butler Zhao would have offended someone by forcing him to stay, so he could only carry the things out intact, resign and leave.

You Tingrong pushed Qingmachi's hand without leaving a trace, then raised his eyes towards Butler Zhao who was lifting the curtain to go out, and whispered into Qingmachi's ear: "Stop him."
