Chapter 109 Zhao Zhao doesn't have such deep thoughts
Liu Xiangyun shrank back.
"Yes...I embroidered it."
Song Yuntang took a deep breath and looked at Zhao Qiao'e as calmly as possible, "Does mother know about this?"
Zhao hesitated and dared not speak.
When Song Yuntang saw her like this, he immediately understood everything.
"Why? Didn't I say before that you can't embroider the same style and sell them?"
Zhao Qiao'e said with a guilty conscience, "I saw that the young lady liked it, and maybe ordinary people would like it too. Besides, these three handkerchiefs were embroidered by your sister-in-law when she was learning embroidery from mother. I thought that people would not pay attention to such embroidery. In order not to waste the cloth, I asked your brother to take them to the town to sell them at a low price."
Looking at the two unscrupulous women in front of him, Song Yuntang was almost laughing out of anger.
"You think you did nothing wrong, right?" She suppressed her temper. "I bargained with the shopkeeper for thirty cents to buy these three handkerchiefs today. It's only because Miss Jiang is broad-minded that she didn't make a fuss with me. If she had made a fuss about it, we would have been sued. Do you understand?"
Zhao Qiao'e was a little confused.
"We only sold these three handkerchiefs for twelve cents in total, and you actually bought them back for thirty cents? Is this how you spent the betrothal gift the Xu family gave you?"
Song Yuntang frowned, "Don't try to avoid the important point. If Miss Jiang starts to make a fuss, we will be sued!"
Zhao Qiao'e began to smooth things over.
"I don't care about this."
"What if she cares about it?" Song Yuntang raised his voice.
Looking at her attitude, Zhao Qiao'e felt a little unhappy, but she still tried to make her tone gentle.
"I thought you came back to see us, and I didn't want you to bring us anything, but why did you act so arrogantly as soon as you came in? Besides, we did do something wrong in this matter, but since Miss Jiang didn't care, why are you still making such a fuss?"
Hearing this, Song Yuntang wished he could go back to the past.
"I must be crazy to want you to make some money to support yourself before leaving here. Zhuzi, go to my mother's room and get my blueprints."
Seeing Zhuzi in a daze, she shouted again, "Go quickly!"
"Oh." Zhuzi was quick and took out the blueprint and gave it to Song Yuntang in a moment.
Zhao was stunned.
"Tang'er, what did you mean by that just now? Have you been planning to leave for a long time?"
Song Yuntang raised his eyes, "What else? I have a mother like you who is confused and incompetent. Haven't I suffered enough in the past three years?"
Looking at Song Yuntang's resentful expression, Zhao Qiao'e burst into tears out of grievance.
"I've been kind to you in everything for the past three years. Isn't that good enough? If you don't tell me many things, how can I guess what you're thinking?"
Although Zhuzi and Zhuangzi felt sorry for it, they didn't dare to say a word to Song Yuntang.
After all, it was my mother and sister-in-law who were at fault in this matter.
They ignored it.
Song Yuntang took a deep breath.
"What about Miss Jiang's handkerchief? Did I tell you about it early on? Or did I remind you of it? You can't just ignore my promise to her, right?"
"It's true that we do business with others to make money, but we also have to keep our promises. If we don't keep our promises, how can we expect others to continue doing business with you in the future?"
Zhao Qiao'e was stunned.
"She...she originally wanted to do business with us?"
Song Yuntang looked at her and said, "Originally, as long as you guys didn't make trouble, I would be sure to let her continue to be with you. But now that things have turned out like this, even if you want to, I dare not let her continue."
Zhao Qiao'e felt a panic in her heart.
"Tang'er, you can't be so cruel. We have such a big family to live."
Liu Xiangyun also hurriedly said, "Yes, Tang'er, I will give birth at the end of the year, and the family expenses are high. For the sake of your first nephew, please help our family."
Song Yuntang laughed angrily.
"I'm cruel? I worked so hard to bring you business, and the money I earned went into your own pockets, not mine. You were short-sighted and didn't keep your promise first. Why do you say that as if I want to cut off your source of income?"
She didn't want to say too much to the two of them, so she put away all her emotions and asked the last question, which was also the question she wanted to ask most today.
"Has Lin Zhaozhao come here since I left?"
Zhao Qiao'e thought that Song Yuntang was against Lin Zhaozhao coming home, and had not asked anyone to mention it to her before in order to avoid any unpleasantness. She didn't expect that she actually knew about it.
"How did you know? Did Jinsheng tell you?"
"My second brother is closer to me, but he never mentioned anything about our family affairs to me. Don't blame him for everything." Song Yuntang looked at her. "The incident with the handkerchief was caused by Lin Zhaozhao. Miss Jiang first saw that Lin Zhaozhao and she used the same handkerchief, so she went to the cloth shop to investigate."
As she spoke, she took out Lin Zhaozhao's handkerchief.
"In order to explain to Miss Jiang, I have already removed the stitches on the kitten's abdomen. No matter how good Lin Zhaozhao's embroidery skills are, she was only thirteen years old when she left the Song family. I don't believe that she has such an ability to remember everything she sees without any painting skills, and can even embroider more detailed than my sister-in-law did."
Liu Xiangyun knew that her embroidery skills were not up to par yet, and she couldn't help but mutter awkwardly, "I embroidered it when I first started learning needlework, and it must be better now than it was then."
Song Yuntang ignored her and looked at Zhao Qiao'e.
"Did you show the blueprint to Lin Zhaozhao?"
"When she came, the blueprint was on my desk. She said she would give it to me after taking a look, so I went to the kitchen to work. Later, she accidentally took it to the Lin Mansion..."
The more Zhao Qiao'e spoke, the lower her voice became.
"Then what?"
Song Yuntang's tone was very calm, neither angry nor happy.
To her, it's no longer strange.
Zhao said that she was doing this for her own good, but in fact, her heart was biased.
"She asked someone to send it back the next day. I didn't think much of it at the time. She might really like the look of the picture, but I didn't expect Miss Jiang to see it."
The more Zhao Qiao'e spoke, the less confident she became.
Song Yuntang looked at her, "Could it be that Lin Zhaozhao first recognized that the handkerchief in Miss Jiang's hand was embroidered by you and came to our house to test us, and then she embroidered it herself and deliberately let Miss Jiang see it to cause trouble for us? Do you think Lin Zhaozhao is too naive and beautiful?"
Deep down, Zhao Qiao'e was unwilling to believe it.
"It shouldn't be...right? Zhao Zhao doesn't have such deep thoughts."
Song Yuntang laughed at himself, "Okay, just think of me as asking for trouble. You subconsciously don't believe what I say, and you even think Lin Zhaozhao's fart smells good. I hope that when you fall into her hands in the future, don't blame me for not warning you."
"Tang'er, I know you have a deep prejudice against Zhao Zhao..."
Song Yuntang obviously didn't want to listen to her any more. He picked up his hat and handkerchief and left quickly, as if he had seen a ghost.
Zhao Qiao'e chased her to the gate of the courtyard, watched her leave, and finally sighed.
"Why is she always unwilling to talk to me properly? If she were half as considerate as Zhao Zhao, our mother-daughter relationship wouldn't be in such a mess."
