338: The Secret of the Lotus

"Fourth sister-in-law, I have something to tell you. The first release of Yawen's romance novel"

Xiao Ping'er pursed her lips and said this, then looked at Su Zhi. Although she had already opened her mouth, she still looked as if she didn't know whether she should say it or not.

Su Zhi smiled and said, "Just tell me what you want to say. Don't act like you want to say it but you don't dare to. Can what you say make me turn into a tiger and eat you?"

"Then I'll tell you, don't be unhappy, I'm telling the truth. If I tell a lie, let me be struck by lightning!" Xiao Ping'er raised one hand and swore, fearing that Su Zhi would not believe her.

Su Zhi put away her smile, frowned and said, "Ping'er, if you have something to say, just tell me. You don't have to swear. I believe you won't talk nonsense. You are not that kind of person."

Su Zhi felt that Xiao Ping'er might really want to say something important, and that this matter would make her unhappy. She felt both happy and nervous. She thought that things had been going so smoothly recently. Could something unexpected happen? But it would be good to know in advance.

When Xiao Ping'er saw Su Zhi holding her hand and saying that she would believe her, she relaxed a little. She thought that she must tell Su Zhi about this. Even though it would make Su Zhi angry and worried, she couldn't keep her in the dark. If something really happened in the future, Su Zhi would be unprepared.

Then she would be too ungrateful for Su Zhi's kindness to her.

"Fourth sister-in-law, I want to talk about your sister Lianhua. I discovered a secret about her."

"Lotus? What secrets could she have?"

Su Zhi really didn't expect that what Xiao Ping'er wanted to say was actually related to Lianhua. Ever since she knew that she was not the daughter of the Zhao family, but just an unknown person picked up by the Zhao family to replace Zhao Xiaomei, and then she knew that their daughter, the real Zhao Xiaomei, had been found, and it was that Aunt Yue, she had already made peace with the Zhao family. She would not expose Aunt Yue's affairs, and the Zhao family would not disturb her life in the future. So she had cut off contact with the Zhao family these days, and now she didn't know what it felt like to suddenly mention the people of the Zhao family.

"Is Lotus okay?"

Su Zhi asked. Although she knew that she was not the daughter of the Zhao family and the two sides were no longer entangled, outsiders still did not know. In the eyes of outsiders, the Zhao family was still her family and Lianhua was still her sister. She had to at least show her concern. Most importantly, she wanted to know what was wrong with Lianhua.

Lianhua is a little country girl who is a little greedy, vain and likes to take advantage of others. Su Zhi doesn't have a good relationship with her. She thinks this girl is also a troublemaker. Now Xiao Ping'er said that Lianhua has a secret, and she seems to be hesitant to speak. You can tell at a glance that it's not a good thing!

Su Zhi thought that now that the Zhao family and Aunt Yue were involved, she wondered if it would cause any big troubles and affect her family's life.

Xiao Ping'er saw Su Zhi frowning slightly, and she felt a little embarrassed. After all, what she was about to say was really shocking. If Su Zhi knew about it, she would definitely be very angry and anxious.

Su Zhi watched Xiao Ping'er's lips move again and again, her face flushed red, and her anxiety gradually increased. She thought that the things that Xiao Ping'er couldn't say must not be good things! That Lianhua was not a girl who could be taken care of. Who knows what bad things she had done this time!

"Ping'er, go ahead and talk. I'm listening. If you don't tell me, I can't solve it. If you tell me, you're helping me."

"I saw Lotus with a man...they were very close..."

Xiao Ping'er finally said it out, her face getting even redder. She was an introverted woman and felt embarrassed to say such things.

Su Zhi's brows furrowed even more. She believed what Xiao Ping'er said. Xiao Ping'er was not the kind of person who spoke without thinking, and she had no reason to tell lies. And Lianhua was indeed someone who might do such a thing. It turned out that Lianhua was a girl who loved to take advantage and was vain. She wanted to marry someone else and enjoy life. Her eyes were always fixed on those beautiful jewelry and clothes, and she wanted to eat well and live well. Now that Lianhua and Aunt Yue had known each other, after seeing Aunt Yue's glory, it was not hard to believe that she would do something indecent!

"Does that man look well-dressed? Do you know him?"

"Fourth sister-in-law, you really believe me!"

As soon as Xiao Ping'er heard Su Zhi's words, she knew that Su Zhi did not doubt her, and seeing that Su Zhi was not angry, she breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she had told Su Zhi about the matter, and finally let it go. Otherwise, she would have felt very uncomfortable if she had always been thinking about it.

Su Zhi held Xiao Ping'er's hand and said, "Of course I believe you, Ping'er. Tell me what happened at that time and what that man was like."

"You guessed right, Fourth Sister-in-law. That man was well dressed. I know him. He is the young master of the Li family, which is between Liushu Village and our village. His name is Li Xing. I went to the temple to burn incense that day and saw them..."

Su Zhi listened to Xiao Ping'er and finally understood. It turned out that Xiao Ping'er had been in a bad mood since the accident. She would always be pointed at by others when she went out, so she stayed at home. Uncle and Aunt Xiao were afraid that she would get sick from being bored, so they would take her out, and sometimes they would go to burn incense.

There is a fork in the road between the town and the county seat. Going towards Nanxun, about ten miles away, at the foot of a mountain, there is a temple with a lot of incense.

It was there that Xiao Ping'er saw what happened between Li Xing and Lian Hua.

Xiao Ping'er didn't explain it in detail, but just by looking at her face which was flushed like a red apple, one could tell that what she saw must have been extremely indecent.

"I was in a bad mood at the time, so I walked around, and then I heard that weird sound coming from inside, the sound of Lotus, Lotus was so embarrassing..."

Xiao Ping'er lowered her head again. She was still an unmarried girl, and was very shy to say such things. When she thought of the scene at that time, she felt her whole body getting hot, and her face seemed to be burning. Although she had never experienced such a thing, she also knew what it was like. She was shocked that Lianhua, an unmarried girl, dared to be so bold. She thought to herself, how could such a generous and elegant woman like Shen Sisao have such a shameless sister? And Shen Sisao's parents didn't seem to be very good people. Shen Sisao was really a very unique person in that family, maybe because she grew up in a nunnery.

"Ping'er?"

Su Zhi gently pushed Xiao Ping'er. She had just asked Xiao Ping'er a question, but Xiao Ping'er didn't hear it. She thought Xiao Ping'er was too shy. She could be so shy even after hearing such a thing.

Xiao Ping'er came back to her senses and looked at Su Zhi embarrassedly. She heard Su Zhi say, "Did they see you?"

“Yes.”

The blush on Xiao Ping'er's face faded a little, revealing a worried expression. She said, "But it seems that only your sister saw it. The young master of the Li family didn't see it. Only your sister turned around and glared at me. Later, she came to see me."

Su Zhi raised her eyebrows and said, "She looked for you? What did she do with you? To threaten you or to bribe you?"

"She threatened me, saying that if I said something wrong, she would make me regret it." Xiao Ping'er said, looking at Su Zhi, she couldn't help but say one more sentence after a long pause, "Sister-in-law Shen, you and your sister are really different. She is not as kind as you at all, and she is so bold."

Su Zhi smiled inwardly and thought, yes, they are not a family at all, of course they don't look like one.

"Don't be afraid. She wouldn't dare to do anything to you." Su Zhi comforted Xiao Ping'er, but she frowned as soon as she finished saying this. Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind and she asked Xiao Ping'er, "Ping'er, you just said that the shameless old man who came to propose to you is a relative of the Zhang family. That's why he has some money and dares to propose to you? Is that right?"

Xiao Ping'er nodded, looked at Su Zhi, and said softly: "Sister-in-law Shen, do you think this matter has something to do with the Zhang family? Is it related to Aunt Yue?"

Su Zhi looked at Xiao Ping'er, wondering how she could think of these things? Was the relationship between the Zhao family and Aunt Yue known to everyone? She just thought of the old man who came to propose marriage to Xiao Yue'er, probably because Aunt Yue had instructed him to do so, because Xiao Ping'er saw Lian Hua having a secret meeting with someone. From Grandma Sun's arrogant words, she could also sense that they came to propose marriage to the Xiao family, and the Zhang family was backing them up!

Lianhua is really cruel. She wants to marry Xiao Ping'er into a dire pit. Then Xiao Ping'er will definitely not have the chance to speak up about her.

Su Zhi had already disliked Lian Hua and Aunt Yue, and now she felt even more disgusted with them. They were women, but they actually did this. It was so hateful.

Su Zhi thought that if they really did it, she would no longer have the last bit of concern for this family. She didn't want to have any feelings for such a family.

"Fourth sister-in-law, I know this because I saw Aunt Yue and Lianhua meet. They were quite affectionate. I also saw Aunt Yue give the gold hairpin on her head to your sister. That's why I thought that maybe Lianhua was afraid that I would tell others, so she asked Aunt Yue to teach me a lesson. Am I overthinking?"

Xiao Ping'er felt that she might have really thought too much. Even if Lianhua had a good relationship with Aunt Yue, Aunt Yue would not help her to deal with herself, right? She told Su Zhi about this matter, but in fact, it was only because that grandma mentioned Mr. Zhang that she thought of Aunt Yue and then Lianhua. She just wanted Su Zhi to know about Lianhua. Now that she talked about her guess, she felt that she might have really thought too much.

Su Zhi looked at Xiao Ping'er and thought that although Xiao Ping'er was introverted, quiet and shy, she was not a stupid girl. She would definitely live a stable and happy life with Song Dashan in the future.

"It's okay, don't think too much, leave this matter to me, thank you for telling me this. Don't worry about Lianhua, I will go and warn her not to bother you again. You can also rest assured about Aunt Yue, your marriage with Dashan has been decided, you just need to prepare to be a good bride with peace of mind."

Xiao Ping'er blushed, felt relieved and lowered her head.

Su Zhi thought that she had been too relaxed about the Zhao family and Aunt Yue, and it seemed that she had to go and warn them.
