Chapter 168 I Believe in Ming Dynasty Sister
"It seems that the Zhang family is in a lot of trouble." Lu Mingchao narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully.
After looking around and making sure no one was watching, Wei Tang lowered his voice and said, "Although the outside world is rumored that the Zhang family is in trouble and Old Lady Zhang is forced to sell off her family property to solve the urgent problem, my father privately has a different opinion. He guessed that the reason why Old Lady Zhang is so eager to raise funds is actually because he has attached himself to a higher power and urgently needs funds as a starting point."
"Therefore, do not assume that Zhang's business is in a state of decline just because you do not see the Zhang's shop on Yee Wo Street. Perhaps within a few days, Old Lady Zhang will be able to establish herself firmly in the prosperous commercial streets of the county or prefectural capital and create a new situation."
Lu Mingchao stared at Wei Tang from the side, his gaze deeply embedded in those sparkling eyes, like a night sky inlaid with countless bright stars, or like the scene of green mountains gradually emerging from the clouds and the sun after the rain and mist have dissipated.
Sparkling eyes always make people happy.
"Your father's guess does make sense."
Wei Tang is really a good girl.
This thought suddenly emerged in Lu Mingchao's mind.
Wei Tang's beautiful eyes widened and she cried out in surprise, "Ming Chao's sister also thinks so?"
"Then shouldn't my brother have advised father to reject the olive branch offered by Old Lady Zhang?"
The rapid rise of Chaofu Grain Store and the decline of Sun Kee are enough to illustrate the foresight of Ming Chao's sister.
And my brother also said that beauty is the least noteworthy advantage of Ming Dynasty sisters.
In short, Ming Dynasty sister is smart.
It is definitely a good idea for ordinary people to listen more to what wise people say.
Lu Mingchao looked puzzled, "Has Old Lady Zhang ever expressed her intention to cooperate with the Wei family?"
“It’s not really cooperation.” Wei Tang shook his head. “A few days ago, Old Lady Zhang came to visit us in person and asked my father to lend a hand and help the Zhang family overcome the current difficulties, considering the deep roots and long-standing friendship between the two families.”
"To put it bluntly, it means borrowing money."
"My father thought that the Zhang family had climbed up the social ladder and that their current difficulties were only temporary, so he wanted to help them in the hope of getting a piece of the action in the future."
"My brother thought about it and felt that it was inappropriate, so he advised my father to reject Old Lady Zhang's request. My father was hesitant and after thinking it over again and again, he sent the housekeeper to give Old Lady Zhang a five thousand tael banknote as a token of his gratitude."
"If even you think that Old Lady Zhang must have met a noble person to climb up the social ladder..."
Lu Mingchao smiled, gently pulled Wei Tang's sleeve and stood in a corner away from the wind, and said softly, "Your father's guess is reasonable, but it doesn't mean that your brother's caution is wrong."
“Some things may seem to be flourishing and prosperous, but once you are deeply involved in them, you will clearly realize that underneath the prosperity lies a deadly abyss.”
"In my humble opinion, your brother has pearls in his belly and brocade in his heart."
Wei Zhou is definitely a person who seems to be a low-key but talented person.
Lu Yao is so aloof and picky that he can become close friends with Wei Zhou. Wei Zhou must have a quality like glass, thin and clear, which is soothing on every quiet night under the moon.
Wei Tang seemed to understand, and her eyelashes like crow feathers blinked, "I believe in Ming Chao's sister."
Lu Mingchao laughed, "Sister Wei, my judgment may not be completely correct."
Wei Tang shook his head, his expression firm, "Ming Chao sister has no idea of her own wisdom."
Wei Tang has simple ideas.
The father praised his elder brother Ming Zhao for his stupidity, and the elder brother praised Ming Chao for his intelligence and wisdom. So Ming Chao's sister was at the top of the food chain.
Lu Mingchao: It seems a bit like praising the opponent to death.
Coming from a book, I cannot bear to hear words like "intelligent and wise" and "gentle as a chrysanthemum".
Lu Mingchao said seriously, and then changed the subject, "Does Miss Cheng's matter have any impact on Zhang Sheng?"
The charming smile on Wei Tang's face gradually faded, and her originally harmless almond-shaped eyes seemed to be shrouded in dark clouds. She sighed softly and said in a deep voice, "I have known Sister Cheng Zhi for many years, but I never noticed her suffering. I am really blind and deaf. I feel deeply guilty."
"Mingchao's sister." Wei Tang grabbed Lu Mingchao's wrist. "I feel sorry for her, but I have no intention of making excuses for her accusing Big Brother Lu."
Lu Mingchao patted Wei Tang's hand lightly, his lips slightly raised, and his tone was calm and steady, "After Miss Cheng Zhi was caned, the grudge between her and the Lu family has been made clear. You don't need to worry that I will think too much about it."
"She was able to take this opportunity to break free from the constraints of her father and brother. I have to give her a heartfelt compliment. She is decisive and insightful."
Wei Tang's eyelids trembled slightly. "It's a pity that she still needs to be an apprentice for another year."
"I don't know what will happen to me after I'm released from prison, and what I should do as a weak and helpless woman."
Lu Mingchao said quietly, "If you are not a fish, how can you know the joy of a fish?"
"In our eyes, she was accused of being unfilial and asked to leave the Cheng family. From then on, she was helpless and miserable. But perhaps in Cheng Zhi's heart, this was the fulfillment of her long-cherished wish that she had been seeking for thousands of days and nights."
"One year. It's not long."
"As for where to go, as long as you have a firm mind, no fear and no regrets, danger is also good luck, there is no place you cannot leave and no place you cannot go."
Wei Tang raised his eyes, his eyes full of shock.
As for Ming Chao's sister, at first, she loved her because of Lu Yao; later, she became close to her because of her brother's praise.
Therefore, Ming Chao's sister was always glowing in her eyes.
But this light is the halo that others give to Ming Chao's sister.
Walking arm in arm today, she seemed to have glimpsed the inherent radiance of her Ming Dynasty sister.
After a long while, Wei Tang's mind turned, and he suddenly realized, "The lawyer who defended Sister Zhi in court was the work of Sister Ming Chao?"
As the rumors of Cheng Zhi's debauchery spread, she was also affected by the rumors. Not only her, but also the ladies in Lianhua Town who had been friends with Cheng Zhi were also affected.
She wanted to do what she could for Cheng Zhi, but she was unable to do so.
During those days, she was locked up in the mansion and not allowed to go out.
Lu Mingchao brushed away the loose hair on Wei Tang's temples and said, "It cannot be said. It cannot be said."
Wei Tang nodded like a little chicken pecking at rice, "I understand, I understand."
The image of Ming Dynasty sister seems to be taller!
If it gets any taller, Lu Yao won’t be able to look at it well enough.
If it weren't for the lawyer's frantic argument, Cheng Zhi's escape from the Cheng family would have come to nothing.
Even if she could escape, Cheng Zhi would still be punished alive and her life would be worse than death. There was no way she would be sentenced to only one year of imprisonment like now.
Wei Tang smiled brightly and said, "I will tell my sister Ming Chao about the murder of Zhang Sheng that day."
"Some people think that Zhang Sheng was deceived by Sister Zhi first, so it is not excessive for him to seek justice for himself."
"Some people also think that Zhang Sheng was too cruel and ruthless, and that he was pushing Sister Zhi to death by beating gongs and drums."
"My mother said that Zhang Sheng's future marriage may be difficult."
"Personally, no mother can trust her daughter's life to a man like this; professionally, if you marry Qin Jin, you also have to consider the possibility that Zhang Sheng will turn against you and ruthlessly abandon you."
"It is said that Old Lady Zhang beat Zhang Sheng with a cane so hard that he still cannot get out of bed."
