8 Lost everyone's face
Zhao Tianer lowered her head.
She naturally knew this truth.
But so what even if that’s the case?
Did she have to watch her brother die without helping?
She simply couldn't do it.
It's just some silver money, why is Shen so cruel and wants to see the Zhao family destroyed?
"Ms. Shen, you are narrow-minded. Even if the Zhao family is wrong, they are still the relatives of the Marquis' Mansion. It's just a matter of spending some money. But you don't agree. Do you want to kill my brother?"
Shen Jingxiang thought she had made her words clear enough, but this Zhao Shi seemed unable to listen.
Forget it, she was too lazy to waste any more words.
Any outcome is her own fault.
"Sir, take the man away!"
Zhao was dragged away by the officials.
Zhao cursed angrily, "Shen, you are selfish and you watched someone die without helping him. Sooner or later, you will die a miserable death."
In her previous life, she helped this group of people and ended up with a miserable death. Now...
She won't make the same mistake again.
After Zhao was dragged away, Shen Jingxiang looked at Gu Haoxuan who was standing aside.
Gu Haoxuan had always spoken for the Zhao family before.
Now that I know that Zhao is subsidizing her family so much, I wonder what Gu Haoxuan is thinking. Can he recognize Zhao's true face?
"Haoxuan, do you also think that mother did something wrong?"
Gu Haoxuan was hypocritical, "Zhao Jiajun is Tian'er's biological brother after all, she can't just stand by and watch him die, right? Tian'er stole from her mother's private vault this time, it was indeed her fault, and now Tian'er has been punished, why don't you save Zhao Jiajun!"
Shen Jingxiang was really so angry that she laughed. How could she not realize that Gu Haoxuan had such a kind side?
He was very kind to his brother-in-law Zhao Jiajun. It was a pity that all the money was spent, so Gu Haoxuan naturally didn't feel sorry.
"Zhao Jiajun is your brother-in-law, not mine. If you feel bad, why don't you use your own money to rescue him? Mother has never treated you unfairly over the years, so you must have a lot of money in your hands, right?"
Gu Haoxuan's expression changed.
Naturally, he had a lot of silver in his hands, but all this silver had to be used, so how could he possibly use it to save Zhao Jiajun?
This Zhao Jiajun is indeed a prodigal son. If it weren't for Zhao Tianer's sake, he wouldn't want to care about Zhao Jiajun's life or death.
But if he was asked to trade his future for Zhao Jiajun's life or death, then forget it. His future was more important.
Gu Haoxuan glared at Shen Jingxiang angrily, “Mother, I didn’t expect you to be so cold-blooded. I am so disappointed in you.”
After saying that, Gu Haoxuan left angrily.
And Ana Shen was leaning back in the chair comfortably.
Finally, this group of people were sent away.
Seeing that it was almost dawn, she was exhausted from not sleeping all night.
Shen Jingxiang stretched lazily, then went back to the house to rest, while Xiao Tao tidied up the house and put all the jewellery back into the warehouse.
The next morning, Zhao Tianer was sent back by the police on a cart.
Many people watched along the way, and when they learned about what Zhao Tianer had done last night, they began to whisper to each other.
Soon the news reached the ears of the Zhao family.
County Magistrate Zhao found Ma and slapped her in the face.
"Look at your well-educated daughter, who was caught stealing by Shen and was sent directly to the government. She was beaten with thirty sticks before being sent back. Now all the people in the capital know about it. Are you trying to bring shame to my Zhao family?"
Ma didn't expect things to turn out like this.
She just asked Zhao Tianer to get some money to save Jiajun, not to steal. And she was caught red-handed. She was so stupid.
The slap Ma received was not unfair at all.
"Go find Zhao Tianer and sever ties with her. From now on, you are no longer the daughter of our Zhao family."
When Ma heard this, she became anxious.
That won't do. Zhao Tian'er is a cash cow. All the money of their family depends on Zhao Tian'er. Besides, Zhao Jiajun is a playboy. If they lose Zhao Tian'er's support, how will they survive?
Ma tried to plead, "Master... Tian'er is our daughter after all, and now she has started to manage the household. This will bring us benefits in the future..."
County Magistrate Zhao took a lot of the money that Zhao Tianer brought back. Now that something has happened, he wants to distance himself from the matter?
Zhao Xiantai said to Ma, "On the surface, we are only severing our relationship, but in private, she is still our good daughter."
Ma nodded, as long as the master didn't really abandon Tian'er.
Zhao Tianer was injured and bedridden, so Ma came to visit her with some snacks.
When Zhao Tianer saw her mother, her eyes immediately turned red.
"Mother, this Shen is really too much. She has so many jewels and I just took two of them casually, and she reported it to the police. Not only did I get 30 strokes of the cane, but I also lost face. From now on, I will never be able to hold my head up in front of those noble ladies again."
Ma wiped her tears. Seeing Zhao Tianer like this, she felt very uncomfortable.
And there is something even more distressing right now.
"Tian'er, your father said he wants to cut off ties with you. This incident is really too ugly. If you don't cut off ties with him, it will be very difficult for your father to do anything."
Zhao Tianer knew that she had lost face. It was already very difficult for her father to allow her mother to visit her, so naturally she would not ask for anything else.
If anyone is to blame, it's all Shen's fault.
If she hadn't stood by and watched her die, and even added insult to injury, how could she have ended up in this situation?
Zhao Tianer didn't want to talk about her own affairs anymore. She was still more worried about her younger brother Zhao Jiajun.
After all, Zhao Jiajun is my mother's only support in the future.
"Mother, how is my brother?"
Ma shook her head.
Zhao Jiajun’s situation was naturally very bad.
"He was captured by the gambling house, and they said that if he didn't pay back one thousand taels within three days, his hands would be chopped off. Tian'er, you only have this one brother. Can you really bear to watch him have his hands and feet chopped off? Why don't you think of another way to help your brother?"
Zhao Tianer looked embarrassed.
Because she stole Shen’s jewelry, she was not only hurt but also infamous. This made her think of a solution. What solution could she think of?
"Mother, I..."
Ma sighed, "Mother knows the difficulties you are facing, and will not force you. Just do your best. If Jiajun's hands are really cut off, he deserves it. If anything happens to Jiajun, mother will let him go. You should take good care of yourself in the future."
Zhao Tianer hugged Ma and cried for a while before sending her away.
However, after Ma left, Zhao Tianer finally figured it out.
This silver must be obtained.
Since I can’t get it from Shen’s, I can only think of other ways.
She couldn't just watch Zhao Jiajun get into trouble, or her mother get into trouble.
Zhao Tianer had been lying in bed for a whole day and could no longer sit still. She knew that Gu Haoxuan still had some money to bribe the examiner. Now she had to use the money first to rescue Zhao Jiajun. As for other things, she could only take it one step at a time.
