Chapter 221 Wan Shuhua
Ruer’s father, Miao Yiren, reacted the fastest and invited Gan Fanren and his friends to enter the mansion.
Gan Fanren and his friends were in a hurry and refused.
Seeing this, Ruer’s father said, “Even if the benefactor does not enter the mansion, at least tell me your name, so that I can find a chance to repay you.”
Gan Fanren did not refuse: “My surname is Gan, and my name is Fanren.”
Gan Fanren simply told what happened in the village. Hearing that her husband was killed, Ruer’s aunt cried bitterly.
Ruer took out her uncle’s remains and handed them to her aunt in silence.
Aunt Miao Wang looked at Gan Fanren with red eyes: "Thank you for saving Ru'er and helping me bring back my husband's remains."
She sent someone to get the banknotes: "Our family runs a bank. As long as there is a place where our Huitong Bank is located, you can just ask for money, no matter how much silver you want, you can withdraw it."
[Isn't Huitong Bank the second largest bank in Dayun? ]
[I didn't expect Ru'er to be so rich. ] Knowing
that Gan Fanren was going to Tongmen Pass, Miao sent a team of guards to escort them, and also prepared 100 dan of grain and 500 taels of silver notes.
The Miao family was a merchant family, and the guards they sent were not as powerful as the Tang family army, but they were also strong and powerful. With
so many people protecting them, many people who wanted to take advantage of them gave up.
With more people, everyone felt more relaxed and less tense.
Seeing the empty seat where Ru'er had been sitting, Gan Tian couldn't help but sigh.
[She left in a hurry, and no arrangements were made for the little heroine. I wonder how she is doing now.]
Gan Huaibi heard his sister's thoughts, and the shadow of Shen Chutang emerged in his mind unconsciously.
She was so small and looked easy to bully.
Alas, without his protection, who knows how much bullying she would have endured.
According to the memory of the previous life, she was forced into a desperate situation by her stepsister.
After all, she is the daughter of the prime minister, how could she be so poor.
He took advantage of his break to write a letter to Shen Chutang.
There were also several banknotes in the letter.
The face value of the banknotes was not small, and he and his mother asked for it.
Hearing that they were going to send a letter to Shen Chutang, everyone contributed some banknotes.
Su Nanxing was worried that the letter would be snatched away by the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and poisoned.
Shen Chutang helped her and happened to learn the antidote for the poison. If someone else opened the letter, they would have to pay a price.
This place is very far away from the capital, and it may take more than a month to reach the capital.
...
The capital.
"Hong, I have no grudge against you, what do you mean by blocking me here?"
Wan Shuhua led the officers to stand in front of the Gan family and glared at Hong.
Hong blocked the door and said loudly: "You want to kill the suspect Gan Fanren and his accomplices, but Gan Fanren sold the house to my Hong family before he left!"
"How could there be Gan Fanren's accomplices in my Hong family's house!"
Wan Shuhua's face was twisted with anger.
She gritted her teeth: "I almost forgot that you also had a hand in my mother's death."
"If you hadn't protected the Gan family several times, our Xingyuefang would have taken down the Gan family long ago!"
Hong was not afraid of Wan Shuhua: "You are so rude, girl. Our family has been in decline for a long time, and the Gan family came later. How could they have the ability to silently bypass the Xingyuefang guards and kill your mother?"
These days, Wan Shuhua has been immersed in the grief of her mother's death. The people she sent out could not find any clues. The only thing they knew was that her mother had a dispute with the Gan family on the day she died.
Although Xingyuefang has run into a wall several times in front of the Gan family, Xingyuefang is a big family with a huge business. Even if it can't do the bicycle, sanitary napkin and bag business, it will not be easily defeated by the Gan family.
Wan Shuhua didn't quite believe that a small Gan Fanren could kill her mother.
But no matter how she checked, she couldn't find any traces of other people.
In addition, Gan Fanren repelled the Feiluan Army, so she got stuck in a dead end and kept blaming the Gan family for her mother's death.
During this period, she had been hoping that Zhou Bufan could let the Feiluan Army chase Gan Fanren, but Zhou Bufan was making excuses and always looked at her with lustful eyes.
After a long time, she was unwilling to look for Zhou Bufan.
So she set her sights on Gan's house again. If she
couldn't kill Gan Fanren, it would be okay to kill a few of Gan Fanren's guards, right?
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Hong showed up again and told her not to do it.
Mrs. Hong mocked: "I really don't know why the shopkeeper Wan gave birth to such a fool like you. Instead of biting like a mad dog, you should think about who you have offended!"
"You don't think the person behind the scenes will let you go easily, do you?"
Mrs. Hong's words made Wan Shuhua shiver all over.
Mrs. Hong's tone was firm, as if she was sure that the person behind the scenes would do it to her.
"Do you know something?"
Wan Shuhua narrowed her eyes and walked to Mrs. Hong's side step by step.
"If you can tell us the identity of the murderer, we at Xingyuefang will not embarrass you any more."
"Not only will we not embarrass you, we will also treat you as a guest of honor. From now on, you will get a 50% discount on everything you buy at Xingyuefang."
Hong raised her neck proudly, not tempted by the conditions offered by Wan Shuhua.
"I can only say that the person behind the scenes is not someone you and I can afford to offend. If you are smart, you should stop investigating and run Xingyuefang peacefully."
"Otherwise, it won't be long before you will repeat your mother's fate."
Hong said, and was about to leave.
Wan Shuhua gritted her teeth and knelt in front of Hong.
"I was the one who offended you before. I must avenge my mother's murder. I hope you will tell me the identity of the murderer for my filial piety."
Seeing Wan Shuhua like this, Mrs. Hong softened her heart.
This Wan Shuhua is indeed a piece of shit, but he is filial.
It's quite pitiful.
Mrs. Hong patted her on the shoulder, raised her head and pointed to the sky. She
left without saying a word.
Wan Shuhua sat paralyzed on the ground, staring blankly at the sky.
Except for the blue sky and a few scattered clouds, she could not see any clues.
What exactly did Mrs. Hong want to tell her?
The officers following Wan Shuhua hurriedly helped Wan Shuhua up.
"Miss Shuhua, our master said that we officials should care about the people. We can't always follow you in Xingyuefang and ignore the people. This is the last time we will help you."
The officers helped Wan Shuhua up, found an excuse and left.
Wan Shuhua felt betrayed.
When my mother was alive, these officers were the dogs around my mother. As long as my mother gave an order, they would do things for Xingyuefang obediently.
Now that her mother was gone, these people immediately changed their expressions.
She returned to Xingyuefang in a daze.
Xingyuefang's business had already declined a lot.
She stared blankly at the sky outside, and her mind kept recalling what happened during this period of time. It was not until Zhou Bufan brought the Feiluan Army to her that she stopped being dazed.
