Chapter 106: Identity of the Butterfly
"What are you looking at? Don't you recognize me?" Liang Hui asked with a raised eyebrow, then turned and walked out.
Liang Dingfang looked at Liang Jinyu who came out later and asked, "Why is she here?"
"It's hard to explain in a few words. Let's eat first," Liang Jinyu said.
Not only Liang Dingfang, but Yao Tianci was also surprised when he saw Liang Hui in the lobby.
The moment Liang Hui saw him, she understood what Yao Yao had done. The reason why Yao Yao spared no effort to help Liang Jinyu get a divorce was probably for Yao Tianci.
So stupid!
Liang Hui sneered. In her opinion, no one in this world was more important than herself, and she would never sacrifice herself for others.
"Take a look, Third Aunt's cooking skills are pretty good." Liang Jinyu picked up a piece of pork ribs for her.
Her thoughts were suddenly interrupted. Liang Hui looked at the fragrant spare ribs in the bowl, pursed her lips, and an inexplicable emotion filled her heart.
"Dani - no, big girl." Yao Tianci called out in a roundabout way.
Liang Hui curled her lips and said, "Mr. Yao, you should just call me Liang Hui. I feel uncomfortable hearing the name 'young lady'."
The third wife said sternly, "Rules cannot be abolished. If the names are messed up, what are the rules to speak of?"
Liang Hui didn't take it seriously, she just grabbed the ribs and stuffed them into her mouth, she said vaguely: "Whoever wants to guard it can guard it, I won't guard it anyway - well, the ribs are good!"
Seeing Liang Hui wolfing down the food, Grandma San's mouth twitched and the chopsticks in her hand were almost broken.
Liang Jinyu watched the scene with a smile and did not intervene.
There is still a long way to go, so just take your time to get used to each other.
"By the way, what did Mr. Yao want to ask me just now?" Liang Huiyi asked, licking her fingers, looking up.
Yao Tianci put down his chopsticks and sat upright.
"Is my sister Yao Yao doing well at the Chen family?" Yao Tianci asked with a worried look on his face.
When Liang Hui saw two more pieces of spare ribs in the bowl, she smiled happily and was in a very good mood.
"Don't worry, she's fine. The whole family will take care of her." Liang Hui grabbed the ribs and continued to eat them.
Yao Tianci breathed a sigh of relief, but the worry between his brows remained.
"The Chen family is looking forward to her giving birth to a son. As long as her stomach is fine, she will be well provided for." Liang Hui added, and thinking of Yao Yao's domineering look, she couldn't help but sneer.
These words did not comfort Yao Tianci at all, but made him even more worried.
Liang Jinyu took a sip of soup, and a look of understanding flashed across her lowered eyes.
Yao Yao's belly was fake. The more the Chen family looked forward to this child, the more severe the backlash against Yao Yao would be when the lie was exposed.
It seems that Yao Tianci also knows about this.
Liang Jinyu put down her bowl and chopsticks, and seeing that Liang Hui had finished eating again, she picked up another piece for her and said with a smile, "Don't worry, eat slowly."
...
At the same time.
The moon rises above the willows, and everything is quiet.
The candlelight flickered on the second floor of the pawnshop, and the pile of account books looked like a wall. It was quiet all around, with only the rustling sound of the books being turned.
Suddenly, a sound of footsteps came from the corridor.
Feng Yang, who was leaning against the wall and pretending to be asleep, suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the door vigilantly.
A moment later, Rao Jie pushed the door open and walked in, holding a pawn ticket in his hand.
"Young Master, the person has been found."
The flames flickered, and Xie Qingyu raised his head from the pile of account books.
He rubbed his high nose bridge, a little tired, and said lightly: "Where is it?"
Rao Jun handed the pawn ticket to Xie Qingyu and said, "This is what the Chengnan Risheng Pawnshop received today. Take a look."
The pawn ticket comes in two copies, one for the pawner and one for the pawnshop. The one that Rao Sheng took was the one that the pawnshop kept.
"This customer said her surname was Gu. She had pawned six pieces of jewelry, of which the pair of gold-inlaid ruby earrings were the most valuable. And according to the description of the shopkeeper and the employees, this person should be the assassin named Huadie."
Xie Qingyu returned the pawn ticket to Rao Ji and raised his eyes and asked, "So? Has the person been caught?"
Rao Ji sighed and shook his head: "We didn't catch the man, but we recovered this."
It was a letter that had not yet been sent, and was retrieved by Rao Jun from the post station.
The handwriting on the envelope was obviously written by a man, and the recipient's surname was Gu and his given name was Jin.
"Gujin, this name is quite interesting." Xie Qingyu chuckled and casually opened the letter, and two large banknotes fell out.
Rao Jin bent down and picked it up. He looked at it by the light of the candle and said in astonishment, "It's thirty-five taels in total. It matches the pawn ticket."
Both the letter and the money were sent to a man named Gu Jin in Yang Su. The letter did not mention the relationship between the two. Hua Die only reminded Gu Jin to take good care of "everyone" and said that she was fine and not to worry about her.
No matter how you look at it, it's just an ordinary family letter.
Xie Qingyu returned the letter to Rao Ji and said, "Let Yang Su's people investigate it."
Rao Ji nodded, put away the letter and was about to leave when he heard Xie Qingyu ask, "Did you hear what Miss Liang said today?"
Rao Ji thought for a moment and said, "Young Master, do you mean that the Chu family was behind this?"
Xie Qingyu nodded: "What do you think?"
Rao Ji's expression was serious and his eyes were solemn. "We can't rule out this possibility. The Chu family has been secretly doing something over the years. It is said that they have also won over many merchants. Especially in Lingzhou, the situation is almost one-sided. Several of our businesses in Lingzhou have been losing money year after year, and it is inseparable from the Chu family."
Xie Qingyu once mocked the Yuan family for being without anyone, but the Xie family was also like that.
