Under Zhao Mingya's proud gaze.
Zhao Lin took out a tael of silver from his pocket and said, "I'll return the money you gave me before, including the principal and interest."
After stuffing the silver into Zhao Mingya's hand, Zhao Lin turned around and left.
Zhao Mingya was stunned.
Then he became furious.
"Okay, I was wondering how you got the guts to run away from home, and sure enough, you stole and sold things from home."
"Big sister is still angry with mother. People like you don't deserve to go home."
Zhao Lin has already walked away.
In the past, when Zhao Mingya was shopping, Zhao Lin would often suddenly appear and pretend to meet her by chance, and then act as her little follower and carry things for her, and he never got tired of it.
At first, Zhao Mingya could still hold it in, but after it happened too many times, she got annoyed.
Especially when Zhao Mingya invited friends together several times, Zhao Lin dared to show up. When friends asked about him, Zhao Mingya felt that he was embarrassing and just said that he was a distant relative.
That would have been fine, but one time, someone misunderstood her as having a secret meeting with her lover, and her reputation was almost ruined.
From then on, Zhao Mingya strictly forbade Zhao Lin to appear in front of her, and even went to complain to Han Yuehua, who gave Zhao Lin a severe lesson and made him kneel in the ancestral hall for three days.
Now Zhao Lin actually wanted to repeat his old trick and secretly follow her, making Zhao Mingya feel disgusted and irritated.
Are you out of money and want to ask her for money?
Or do you want her to beg for mercy and allow him to go back?
It has been a week since Zhao Lin ran away from home. Zhao Mingya knew that he would definitely not be able to bear a life without anyone to serve him and without delicacies.
It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
Now Zhao Lin is used to the life in the marquis' mansion, so how could he still endure the hard days in the past?
The money he brought with him should have been spent.
This one or two taels of silver was probably the last thing he had left.
I want to go back, but I can't bring myself to ask, so I use this method to win my favor and make myself speak up.
As soon as I opened my mouth, he would definitely refuse first, then feel embarrassed, and then go back reluctantly, as if he was forced to do so by me.
Otherwise, why did I search for it at home for several days but couldn’t find it, but just happened to come across it by chance?
Watching Zhao Lin leave, Zhao Mingya showed a hint of ridicule on her face.
"Didn't you say you'd have nothing to do with the Marquis' Mansion from now on? Didn't you say we'd be strangers if we met again? Why are you still following me? You're so despicable!"
Zhao Mingya didn't like Zhao Lin in the first place. She felt that Zhao Lin's return had snatched Zhao Chenhan's position. Seeing Zhao Lin fleeing in panic, she felt very excited and had a feeling of gloating.
In fact, if it weren’t for Han Yue Hua’s order, Zhao Lin must be brought back to avoid ruining Zhao Chenhan’s reputation.
Everyone in the Marquis' Mansion was waiting to see Zhao Lin make a fool of himself.
I want to see when he will come to me in despair and beg someone to let him go home.
Apart from Zhao Chenhan, the "too kind" man who asked several times to bring Zhao Lin back, Zhao Mingyu, Zhao Mingya and others were all waiting, wanting to see how long Zhao Lin could hold on outside.
Zhao Mingya couldn't wait to go back and tell them the news.
Tell them not to send anyone to look for Zhao Lin anymore.
One week, just one week, and Zhao Lin couldn't hold on any longer.
What a waste!
"No, I have to tell my eldest and second sisters to harden their hearts and not sympathize with him and let him go back easily. I must not let Chenhan know, so that he won't be soft-hearted and go to mother to beg for mercy." Zhao Mingya thought to herself.
"Mingya, you're here."
Fu Liqing saw Zhao Mingya and said excitedly: "Come here quickly, I received a good book, you will definitely like it."
"Let's do it another day. I have something urgent to go home for."
Zhao Mingya waved at Fu Liqing and walked away quickly.
"What's wrong with this girl today?" Fu Liqing was puzzled.
Zhao Mingya returned home and found Han Yuehua.
"Mom, don't look for that loser anymore, he'll be back soon."
Han Yuehua frowned: "What's going on?"
Zhao Mingya recounted what happened when she met Han Yuehua on the street.
Han Yuehua was furious: "I told you how he got the guts to run away from home. Butler Fang, go check what's missing from the house."
Butler Fang sighed inwardly, then took the order and left.
Zhao Mingyu, who was standing next to him, quickly said, "My jade pendant is lost. He must have stolen it."
Zhao Mingya nodded repeatedly: "And my jewelry, all given to me by my mother, some of which were even awarded by the palace, they are worth a lot of money. I don't know how so much money was spent so quickly."
Zhao Mingxiao suddenly said, "What else can a man do besides eating, drinking, whoring and gambling in brothels and gambling houses?"
Han Yuehua said angrily, "This rebellious son! Chen Han has never been to that kind of place in more than ten years. He has only been here for a few years, and he actually dared to go there. He is really a lowly person. When he comes back, I will break his legs."
Zhao Mingzhu frowned slightly and said, "I don't think Zhao Lin is that kind of person."
Zhao Mingya quickly said, "Sister, you were deceived by him. Ruffians like them are the best at deceiving people."
Zhao Mingzhu opened her mouth and could only sigh.
"Mom, what should we do now? Should we go look for him?" asked Zhao Mingyue, who had been silent all this time.
Han Yuehua said coldly, "Find him! We must find him before he spends all the money! Brothels and gambling houses are places where people spend money like water. If he runs out of money and is forced to pay his debts, it would be embarrassing if he reveals that it was someone from our mansion. Mingya, where did you meet him?"
Zhao Mingya quickly said, "There are several brothels and gambling houses nearby on East Gate Street."
All the girls looked at Zhao Mingya strangely.
Han Yuehua asked in confusion: "What are you doing there?"
Zhao Mingya quickly explained: "The Fu family's bookstore is over there. I'm going to play with Fu Liqing."
"The daughter of the Minister of Rites?" Han Yuehua nodded and said, "There's no time to lose. Send someone to capture him immediately. Steward Fang."
Butler Fang came over hurriedly.
Han Yuehua ordered, "Go to the brothels and gambling houses on East Gate Street and search them one by one to bring that rebellious son back. Remember, don't make too much noise. If anyone asks, just say he stole something from the Marquis' Mansion. Don't say anything else."
"Yes, ma'am."
Butler Fang hurriedly took his men out again.
"This rebellious son!"
Han Yuehua became angrier the more she thought about it: "If I had half of Chen Han's ability, no, one tenth, I wouldn't have to worry so much."
Zhao Mingya laughed and said, "Chen Han is the young master of our Marquis' Mansion. That waste is nothing. How can he be compared with Chen Han?"
The other sisters nodded, and they all felt that there was nothing wrong with what Zhao Mingya said.
Zhao Mingzhu looked at this scene and felt it was a bit absurd.
…
Qingfeng Bookstore.
Zhao Lin had just delivered the rest of the manuscript when he saw Butler Fang and his men rushing towards him in a menacing manner.
Zhao Lin frowned, wondering whether he should escape through the back door.
But these people rushed straight into a brothel not far away.
After a while, the group came out and went straight to another house.
After listening to the servant's report, Fu Liqing said with a smile, "A thief stole something from the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion and escaped here. Their people are searching for him."
A thief who steals things?
Zhao Lin understood immediately.
He sneered.
Han Yuehua doesn't even dare to look for her son publicly. She really doesn't take her own son seriously.
