Chapter 491 No Comparison
Fang Lan came to Zhang Juexia with a big smile on her face, "You kid, don't you remember your brother Sanle?
You forgot all the times you played together as children."
Zhang Juexia frowned, "I tell you, there are some things you can't say carelessly, now that I'm married.
If someone deliberately smears my reputation, I will be the first to not forgive him.
Tell me what you want to talk to me about. If you don't have anything, go back. I don't have time to listen to your nonsense."
Fang Lan smiled awkwardly, but cursed Zhang Juexia in her heart. He had only been out of that mountain valley for a few days, but he already didn't know his place.
This damn girl, now standing there, really looks like the mistress of the house. Why am I still afraid of her?
Fang Lan tried to stand up straight and plucked up her courage. "This is what happened. My Sanle's concubine, who was brought back from out of town, is missing. Someone saw her at your soap shop, so we came here to look for her."
Zhang Juexia sneered, "You just heard about it and came to my house.
So let me ask you, is it outside my soap shop or inside?"
Seeing that Zhang Juexia was so difficult to talk to, Liu Sanle said impatiently, "Whether it's outside or inside, someone said they saw her.
Zhang Juexia, let me tell you, if you know what’s good for you, hand him over right away, otherwise…”
"What will happen otherwise?"
Ye Beixiu walked in from outside and stood directly in front of Zhang Juexia.
Zhang Juexia greeted Ye Beixiu cheerfully, "Husband, why are you here?"
Yang Zhi asked Lin Yuan to invite Ye Beixiu back. Yang Zhi was not worried that Zhang Juexia could not cure the mother and daughter.
He was worried that these two people were blind and if they started fighting and hurt Zhang Juexia, it would be troublesome.
Lin Yuan briefly explained the matter, and Ye Beixiu jumped on the carriage and rushed back without saying a word.
To show his dominance, Ye Beixiu took Zhang Juexia into his arms and whispered, "Maybe I knew we had guests at home today, so I came back early on purpose."
Then he passed by Fang Lan and turned to look at Liu Sanle, "My servant told me that Liu Xiucai's concubine is missing, so he came to my house to look for her."
Liu Sanle felt annoyed when he saw Ye Beixiu hugging Zhang Juexia tightly.
He felt extremely unbalanced. He had not been so upset before he knew that Zhang Juexia was so rich.
Today, after listening to his mother, he went into Zhang Juexia's house again and saw that it was a large house with three courtyards and a shop in the front. Not only that, there were also many servants in the house.
Zhang Juexia is now living the life of a wealthy lady, and Ye Beixiu is even more of a gigolo.
Zhang Juexia was responsible for earning money, and he was responsible for passing the imperial examinations.
Thinking of this, his heart ached like a knife. These should have been mine. If only...
Now I am the one standing next to Zhang Juexia. With the support of money, I can persist in the imperial examination.
Even after arriving in the capital, if you manage yourselves well, it might be possible to become an official there.
The more Liu Sanle thought about it, the more worried he became. He wished he could tear Ye Beixiu into pieces right now, and then take the opportunity to marry Zhang Juexia home.
Seeing that Liu Sanle did not respond, Ye Beixiu asked again loudly, and Liu Sanle came back to his senses.
After a moment's thought, he cheered up and repeated what he had just said.
Ye Beixiu was not annoyed. "That's easy. Since Liu Xiucai suspects that your people are in my house, I will ask the shopkeeper in front of me to come over and answer him. Let's ask him if he has ever seen your concubine."
Ye Beixiu shouted, "Lin Yuan, go to the shop in front and invite Shopkeeper Li Le over."
Lin Yuan replied "yes" and trotted to the shop in front.
Liu Sanle looked at Lin Yuan who was jogging, and thought to himself, what a handsome boy, originally these were mine, mine.
Li Le was invited over, and Ye Beixiu pointed at Li Le and said, "Liu Xiucai, this is the owner of my shop. If you have any questions, just ask him!"
Li Le had never seen Meng Xiang before, and had no idea what had happened. No matter what Liu Sanle asked, he knew nothing.
Finally, he shook his head helplessly and said, "Boss, Mr. Liu, no pregnant woman has entered the shop in the past two days."
After hearing what Li Le said, Ye Beixiu said to Liu Sanle, “Liu Xiucai, you also heard what Manager Li said.
This is a big deal, especially since the person is pregnant.
I think we should report it to the police!
Lin Yuan, please help Liu Xiucai run this trip. Since he suspects that one of his people is in our house, let the government officials search my house first.
To be honest, Mr. Liu, I can't bear the blame you put on me.
I had no choice but to use the government officials to clear my name!"
If Liu Sanle wanted to report to the police, he would have done so earlier. After hearing what Ye Beixiu said, he quickly stopped him, "Brother Ye, we were too reckless in this matter.
We lost someone and we felt anxious, and when we felt anxious, we began to have wild thoughts.
Brother Ye is a magnanimous person, so please don't take me seriously.
I heard that the government officials are very busy, so I think we shouldn't bother them.
It's all a misunderstanding. Maybe my concubine has already returned home by now."
"That won't do. I think it's better to report it to the police. Lin Yuan, go quickly."
Liu Sanle was anxious, "No, Brother Ye, let's go now, let's go now."
Fang Lan didn't hear clearly what the two men were saying. When she saw Liu Sanle was about to leave, she stopped him and said, "Son, don't go yet!
Mother still has something to say!"
She chuckled, "Juexia, look at the rich life you are living now, wow, wow, wow, it really is so good, so good.
If your mother knew about this, she would be so happy!
You see, your aunt is in trouble now and needs some money.
It's not much, just one thousand taels of silver, can you help your aunt, okay?"
Ye Beixiu wanted to reply but was stopped by Zhang Juexia. She looked at Fang Lan with a smile and said, "You are really a rich man. One thousand taels of silver is not too much.
I am timid and come from the mountains. I have never seen the world. I have grown up without knowing how much space this one thousand taels of silver would take up in my home.
You, please don't make things difficult for me!
My husband, they are so annoying. They didn’t report the missing person to the police but came to our house to look for him.
The same goes for borrowing silver, one thousand taels of silver, and they all said it wasn't a lot. Oh, it really scared me.
They must have done this on purpose!
If you ask me, husband, let’s report to the police!
What if these two people are scammers? "
“Yes, report to the police. Don’t just say that my wife is scared, I’m scared too.
Liu Xiucai, please don't laugh at me. We are from a small family and have never seen a thousand taels of silver. We really can't compare with Liu Xiucai!"
