Chapter 930 Distinguishing True from False

Tian Caihong smiled widely, "You are right, you are right."

The old woman glanced at Tian Caihong nonchalantly and said, "Mrs. Zhang, let me say something I shouldn't say. Our wife has done her utmost to be kind to the Eighth Concubine.

Logically speaking, the eighth concubine has been driven out of the Li family and has nothing to do with our Li family anymore.

But our lady is nostalgic and can't stand seeing anyone coming out of the Li Mansion, so she can't live like that.

This is how I helped the Eighth Concubine. One must have a conscience and listen to advice."

Tian Caihong had a smile on her face the whole time, and she just nodded, "Yes, you are right.

When Qiuye wakes up, I will definitely talk to her."

“It’s time to talk to her.

Oh, by the way, Mrs. Zhang, you can tell the Eighth Concubine that if she gets married, we won’t dare call her the Eighth Concubine anymore.

But then again, once she gets married, she won't be spending our Li family's money anymore, so for us Li family, it doesn't matter what she's called."

"Yes, yes."

Zhang Qiuye woke up slowly, "Where am I?"

Tian Caihong slapped her hard, "Why are you still pretending? Of course you are in your own home!"

Seeing that Zhang Qiuye had woken up, the old woman knew she was done with her duties and ignored them. She only specifically reminded Tian Caihong, "You are her mother, so you must talk to her properly."

"I understand. Don't worry."

After seeing the old woman leave, Zhang Qiuye buried her head in the quilt and cried loudly.

Tian Caihong was annoyed by her crying, "Can you please stop crying and tell me what you think about this?"

Zhang Qiuye stopped crying and said, "What can I think? Do I have any choice?

Mother, the Li family is like a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken, they have no good intentions."

"Don't say that. The old woman just told me everything. The money you are spending now was all given by the Li family."

"What else does the Li family have besides money?"

"That's enough. Let me ask you, do you have any money?"

Zhang Qiuye wilted again, "Mom, I just want to find Zhang Juexia."

Tian Caihong thought about it, then gritted her teeth and agreed, "Okay, I'll go all out and don't care about my reputation or anything.

But before we go, we have to go to the jewelry store and ask the people there to help us open our eyes and see if the jewelry Zhou Jiu gave you is real or fake."

Zhang Qiuye refused to give in, "Mom, please give me some respect!

Regardless of whether it’s real or fake, I won’t wear it anymore. I’ll just leave it there, okay?”

"Zhang Qiuye, you are really amazing. Are you born into a wealthy family, or are you extremely wealthy?

They are still there. Let me tell you, these things are useless.

Do you want to keep a souvenir for yourself?"

"Mom, that's not what I meant."

"What do you mean? I'm telling you, Zhang Qiuye, you have to listen to me today. Let's take these jewels to the shop and let the shopkeeper help check them. If they are real, we will sell them for silver."

Zhang Qiuye was about to give up. She grabbed Tian Caihong's hand and asked nervously, "Mom, what if these jewelry are fake?"

"Then go find Zhou Jiu."

Zhang Qiuye shook his head, very resistant.

"It's okay if you don't go, then just consider yourself unlucky!"

Zhang Qiuye kept dithering, and Tian Caihong became impatient. She grabbed the jewelry box and walked away, "Stop dithering. I see your temper is worse than mine.

You keep saying you want to compete with Zhang Juexia, but what can you compare her with? I actually believed you."

What Tian Caihong said was not wrong. Even if Zhang Qiuye wanted to refute, she couldn't say anything. She could only keep it in her heart and sulk.

The maid sent by the Li family saw them leaving and hurried to greet them, "Where are you going?

The eighth concubine told me to stop making such a fuss, and Mrs. Zhang, you should also persuade her.

The marriage my wife found for you is a good one. You will be the mistress of the house as soon as you get married. How wonderful!

"Well, why don't you get married?"

The old woman slapped her thigh fiercely and said, "I want to get married, but no one likes me!"

Tian Caihong pulled the old woman aside and said a lot of nice things, and the old woman reluctantly agreed, "Come back soon after you finish your work.

Remember, don't stay outside for too long. I think you are useless.

I'm afraid that if the Eighth Concubine is deceived again, my job will be over."

The old woman's words were so harsh that Tian Caihong didn't dare to say anything. She just smiled and nodded in response, "We'll be back soon. Thank you for your concern."

After leaving his house, Zhang Qiuye said to Tian Caihong fiercely, "Why are you so polite to her? Didn't you hear what she called me?

I left the Li family a long time ago, but she still keeps calling me the Eighth Concubine. Who is she trying to annoy?"

Tian Caihong pulled Zhang Qiuye forward and said, "You still have time to worry about these things now? You are only capable of this. If you are angry, you will only take it out on me. Why didn't you confront her at home just now?"

Zhang Qiuye remained silent again. After walking for a while, he replied in a low voice, "She is a member of the Li family after all. It's not easy to offend her."

"You should be grateful for what you have received, and you have no ability, and now you are spending the money of the Li family.

Let them say what they want. If you are a man of integrity, no one will be disrespectful to you. Just listen to what they say."

Zhang Qiuye glared at Tian Caihong and walked forward angrily.

Tian Caihong grabbed her and said, "The jewelry store is right in front. Where are you going?"

The mother and daughter entered the jewelry shop trembling with fear. Tian Caihong explained her purpose. The shop assistant was unable to handle such a matter, so he had to report it to the shopkeeper.

When the shopkeeper came over, he took them to the backyard.

Tian Caihong gestured to Zhang Qiuye to give the box in her arms to the shopkeeper, and Zhang Qiuye handed it over reluctantly.

Tian Caihong started to speak kindly, "Boss, thank you for your trouble."

The shopkeeper took the box but didn't open it. He just asked, "Could you please tell me where these jewels came from?"

Zhang Qiuye didn't say anything. Tian Caihong pushed her and she turned her head away.

Seeing that Zhang Qiuye didn't say anything, Tian Caihong said, "Boss, at this point, we can no longer care about our reputation.

These jewellery were given to my daughter by Zhou Jiu."

The shopkeeper immediately understood what was going on. He looked at the mother and daughter carefully and then opened the box.

Tian Caihong and Zhang Qiuye didn't dare to breathe, and just stared at the shopkeeper with their eyes.

The shopkeeper looked at this, touched that, frowned sometimes, sighed sometimes. If the mother and daughter had not supported each other, he would have fainted.

After about two incense sticks of time, the shopkeeper closed the box.

"Take the box back!"

Tian Caihong grabbed the shopkeeper's sleeve and asked anxiously, "Are these jewels real or fake?"
