Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 98 Life is like a play
As soon as Lin Jinyan entered the room and sat down, Lin Siran and Mrs. Liu entered the hall.

After saluting, Mr. Liu looked at the shopkeeper kneeling on the ground, with a look of great surprise on his face.

"Liu Jie? Why are you two here?"

The old lady said with a cold face: "Do you recognize this person?"

Mrs. Liu followed the direction of the old lady's finger and looked at Shopkeeper Zhou.

Shopkeeper Zhou bent down and saluted: "Second Madam."

Mrs. Liu: "This seems to be the shopkeeper Zhou from two years ago?"

"It's the villain."

Mrs. Liu was puzzled: "Why are you here?"

Old lady: "Shopkeeper Zhou reported on Liu Jie and falsified the accounts and swallowed up the shop's money."

Mrs. Liu: "It's absolutely impossible. Although Liu Jie has no personal ethics, he would never dare to do such a bold thing."

Hearing this, Liu Jie quickly raised his head: "Second Madam, it's all my fault for being greedy for money that led me to do this greedy thing. I also cheated on Second Madam a lot in the past, and I betrayed your trust in me. I'm sorry for you."

Mrs. Liu was completely confused by Liu Jie's remarks. After she realized what she was saying, she cursed in her heart: This weakling!I can't hold back even a few words, and the move is so fast, I'm trying to reincarnate in a hurry!
The old lady asked Liuli to hand Shopkeeper Zhou's account book to Mr. Liu: "Please look at it carefully and then give him a guarantee."

Mrs. Liu took it and turned through a few pages to understand why Liu Jie recognized the crime so quickly and remembered it in such detail. How could he deny it?

Mrs. Liu's mind suddenly changed: now she has no choice but to sacrifice Liu Jie to save me. Liu Jie must also know that only by saving me can I have the possibility of saving him in the future.Zhou Yuexue is such a busybody, even if she reports a letter, she can’t even get anything back, and she almost got me into trouble!

After thinking about it in her heart, Ms. Liu looked distressed.

"Liu Jie! I thought in vain that you are a member of the same clan and I have a lot of trust in you. Not only did I let you be the shopkeeper of Baiyin Piano Shop, but I also asked you to help me inspect the accounts. I didn't expect you to be stealing from yourself and doing this ungrateful thing! You How can you be worthy of me?!"

What he said was filled with indignation, and his body was swaying, looking like he was furious.

Lin Siran, who was beside him, held Ms. Liu's shoulders and helped her sit down on the chair.

"Father, mother, eldest brother. Yunxiang has worked hard and made great achievements for this family these years. What happened today is obviously that she was deceived by Liu Jie."

Lin Yan glanced at Lin Siran and his wife and spoke calmly.

"A few days ago, Yan'er wanted to buy a jade bracelet for the general's wife as a thank-you gift, but your wife said it was arrogant. But I heard from my servants that even your wife's handkerchief came from Tianyu Hall. Your mother-in-law celebrated her birthday yesterday. The birthday gift is also valuable, and it is understandable that she should be filial. But half of the assets she manages were dowries left by An'er and Yan'er's mother. Now Yan'er is struggling to make money, but your wife is quite prosperous. Very cool."

Hearing this, Mrs. Liu couldn't help but tugged her sleeves to cover the jade bracelet she just bought.

"Father, mother, and daughter-in-law also have dowries, and the government will also give them a share of the second room to cover daily expenses. How can the daughter-in-law covet Sister-in-law Mo's dowry? My father said this, and the daughter-in-law is really going to die unjustly."

She shed tears as she spoke, looking aggrieved that she had been wronged. The scene came to a standstill amidst Liu's cries.

Lin Jinyan stood up and comforted Mrs. Liu, but Mrs. Liu cried more and more sadly.

Lin Jinyan walked to the door and called Lin Song.

"Uncle Song, it seems that my second aunt has most likely been wronged. Please go to Xiyuan in person to find my cousin. With him here, it will be better if he helps to persuade her."

Lin Song responded and turned around and left Songmao Hall.
