Chapter 365: Loneliness

When Mr. Zhao Er heard about Liu Er's whereabouts, he was shocked.

He was so excited that he wanted to ask the old woman about Liu Er's specific situation, and then he heard Qin Zhen say: "She has no relationship with the second master for a long time. When she left the capital, she told me that she would never come back, so I raised Yu Er as my own son."

"Just pretend you haven't heard about her. You must keep your mouth shut in front of the second master and can't reveal a word."

Qin Zhen's voice brought him back to reality, and Mr. Zhao Er calmed down instantly. He couldn't go to Qin Zhen. This vicious woman didn't want him to know Liu Er's whereabouts at all, fearing that it would endanger her status, and also afraid that the son she raised would refuse to recognize her as his mother.

Mr. Zhao Er's heart was burning, and he wished he could grow a pair of wings and fly to Yunping County to find Liu Er!

He turned around and walked out of the yard, intending to call Zhao Yu to find his favorite together, but suddenly realized that he was short of money and came to Qin Zhen for money.

Master Zhao Er turned back again, his footsteps heavier, reminding the master and servant under the flower window that someone was coming.

Sure enough, this time, before he reached the door of the house, Qin Zhen came out, and the old woman followed behind her.

Master Zhao Er's eyes turned around Qin Zhen's face, seeing that this woman was very calm, he snorted in his heart, thinking that he was scheming!

"I want to renovate the house again, so that it looks more luxurious on the surface, and then when I ask a matchmaker to find a marriage for Yu'er, it won't look too shabby." Master Zhao Er took a look at the simple house, his eyebrows were full of disgust: "Although we are separated, after all, we are of the same blood and branches with the Zhao family, and we can't disgrace our status."

"Second Master is right, you hire someone to renovate it." Mrs. Zhao Er lowered her eyebrows and agreed to everything he said.

Mr. Zhao Er felt relieved and raised his chin slightly: "Give me five thousand taels first. Zhao Rong said that the renovation would cost so much silver."

Mrs. Zhao Er was shocked: "Mr. Er, I don't have so much silver."

"How is it possible?!" Mr. Zhao Er cried out: "Don't you have five thousand taels of silver notes in your dowry? There are also many valuable jewelry and land. These are also worth a lot of money, right?"

Mrs. Zhao Er's face was a little unnatural. She twisted the handkerchief in her hand, lowered her eyes and stared at the tip of her shoes, mumbling: "I learned to lend money at interest before. I took out ten taels of silver and lent it out. In just ten days, I got back fifteen taels of silver, which is more valuable than my property. The second time I was bolder and lent out one hundred taels. I got two hundred taels of silver in a month. The third time I lent out all the cash in my hand, but the other party only gave me interest, not the principal.

Not long after, He said that his business had problems and all the money was lost. He asked me to invest more money in him. If I refused, the business would not be able to be done and the money I had lent him before would not be repaid. The amount was too huge and I was really reluctant to part with it. And because I did get interest from him, I was blinded by greed and lost all my shop, land and jewelry. Finally, I couldn't find him anymore. I asked my parents to help find him. Only then did I find out that his household registration was fake and there was no such person at all! "

"All lost?" Mr. Zhao's face was red, and he pointed at Qin Zhen with a shaking hand: "Is your brain filled with paste? Don't you know how to tell me?"

Mrs. Zhao's face changed, and she looked at him dimly: "Second Master, I want to ask you for help. When you get the news about Miss Liu'er, leave Beijing to find her."

Mr. Zhao was speechless, and all the anger was stuffy in his chest, making him feel choked up.

He didn't give up, and asked in a muffled voice: "How much do you have left?"

"Fifty taels of silver."

Mr. Zhao Er took a deep breath and suppressed his anger: "Give me all."

Mrs. Zhao Er told the old woman to get it.

The old woman hesitated and finally went to get the silver.

Mr. Zhao Er took the silver, didn't even look at Mrs. Zhao Er, and hurried to find Zhao Yu. The two of them went to Yunping County together.

Mrs. Zhao Er looked at his departing back calmly, and the corners of her mouth curled up. She told the old woman behind her: "Pack up your bags, and we will go back to the Qin family."

——

Zhao Mansion.

Tang Nuan and Zhao Wei returned to the yard together, feeling very depressed. In this huge mansion, Mrs. Zhao Er loved her the most and took the most care of her.

Now that people have left suddenly, there is no one in this mansion who can confide in her.

Tang Nuan felt empty and lonely.

She suddenly remembered the wooden box Mrs. Zhao Er gave her, left Zhao Wei and went into the inner room to take out the box.
