Chapter 345

Song Shiyun and Mrs. He stood at the door. Not long after, the sharp-eyed waiter saw their extraordinary clothes and came over with a smile, "Madam and Miss, what do you want to see?"

After hearing this, Mrs. He asked directly: "Is your shopkeeper, Mrs. Zheng, here?"

The waiter subconsciously asked: "My wife is here, but I don't know. What do you two want to see her for?"

Mrs. He said with a cold face, "I am the mother of Mr. Huan's wife He Yuanlan. Mrs. He, please go and tell your wife that I have something to ask her, and she will understand."

Seeing her stern expression, the waiter immediately became vigilant. Especially after hearing Mrs. He's identity, he did not dare to neglect her. He bowed and said, "Yes, I will pass on the message right now."

She bowed, turned around, and walked quickly towards the back hall.

Song Shiyun and Mrs. He were waiting where they were.

The waiter walked around the hall and walked to the accounting room at the back, where he saw the shopkeeper's wife taking a nap inside.

The waiter said hurriedly: "Madam, there is someone outside who wants to see you."

Madam Zheng was sleeping. When she heard this sound, she turned over impatiently, turned her back to her and said, "It's nothing urgent. Just don't call me. You won't tell them that I'm not here?"

Waiter: "The person who came is Mr. Huan's wife He Yuanlan and the mother of Lady He. She is also the wife of the He family. She asked to see Madam by name and said she wanted to see you for something important..."

"Who?" Madam Zheng opened her eyes suddenly and turned to look at her.

The waiter repeated: "Mrs. He family."

Madam Zheng suddenly looked a little unnatural. She pushed herself up and whispered, "Why is she here?"

The waiter asked tentatively: "Are you going to see the lady? I see that they are coming with bad intentions. I'm afraid they won't leave until they see the lady."

Madam Zheng frowned and said, "They? Who are all here?"

"Mrs. He's family, there is also a girl with a rich and noble temperament beside her. I can't tell who it is. She must have never been to our Hidden Gold Pavilion before, but she looks different from ordinary people." The waiter said cautiously.

When Mrs. Zheng heard this, she thought it was other ladies of the He family.

The He family's status was unusual, and Mrs. Zheng didn't want to offend her. She frowned a little irritably and said while standing up, "Okay, I understand. I'll go take a look."

After finishing speaking, she stood up, arranged her clothes, and walked out.

The waiter followed her step by step.

Song Shiyun and Mrs. He waited outside for a while, and then heard a hearty and smiling voice coming first.

"Why is Mrs. He here today? She didn't tell you in advance so that I could pick you up -"

After Song Shiyun and Mrs. He heard the words, they followed the sound and saw a middle-aged woman wearing a dark dress, exquisite makeup, and a gorgeous headdress walking out from the back hall.

Looking at the waiter who had delivered the message before, following her, Song Shun and Mrs. He knew that this person's identity was probably Mrs. Zheng.

Madam Zheng walked up to Mrs. He with small steps, bowed to Mrs. He, and said softly: "Ms. Zheng has seen Mrs. He——"

When Mrs. He saw her, she thought that He Yuanlan's illness was inseparable from this person. She had no good expression and snorted coldly: "How dare I alarm Madam Zheng? If I accidentally offend Madam Zheng, I'm afraid I won't even be able to do it." I can’t even save my life.”

Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng's eyes flashed with confusion, and the smile on her face froze, "What do you mean by this, madam? Why can't Madam Zheng understand?"

Mrs. He had a cold face and wanted to say something else.

Song Shiyun held her arm and reminded: "There are many people talking, and this is not the place to talk."

Mrs. He realized that there were so many people coming and going here. If others heard about He Yuanlan's matter, I'm afraid it would spread throughout the capital tomorrow.

At that time, it will naturally be detrimental to He Yuanlan's reputation.

Thinking of this, Mrs. He suppressed the anger in her heart and said, "Let's talk in another place."

Naturally, this was said to Madam Zheng.

Madam Zheng could tell that, just as the waiter said, this Mrs. He was probably coming with bad intentions.

A trace of annoyance flashed in Madam Zheng's eyes, but she quickly returned to her normal expression. With a smile on her face, she made a gesture of invitation, "Then please, madam, come with me. There is a private room upstairs."

Mrs. He snorted coldly and walked towards the stairs first.

Madam Zheng's face stiffened for a second, but she felt that someone had been watching her.

When she raised her head, she saw Song Shiyun staring at her.Madam Zheng suddenly smiled and made the same gesture of invitation.

Song Shiyun glanced at her, lifted up his skirt, followed Mrs. He, and walked upstairs first.

As soon as they left, the smile on Mrs. Zheng's face gradually disappeared. She took a deep breath and ordered the waiter beside her: "Go and prepare some refreshments."

After finishing speaking, she followed Song Shiyun and Mrs. He upstairs.

Madam Zheng took Song Shiyun and Mrs. He into the private room on the second floor.

She put on a smile and asked proactively: "I wonder what Madam wants to tell me?"

When Mrs. He heard this, she was so angry that she said, "Don't Madam Zheng know what I am doing to see Madam Zheng?"

Madam Zheng said in surprise: "I really can't understand what Madam said..."

Mrs. He gritted her teeth in anger.

But at this moment, Song Shiyun said lightly, "Madam, you really don't know what we mean by this?"

Madam Zheng couldn't help but look at her.

Still want to talk.

Song Shiyun added: "Madam, you should know that we are here for Madam He. Madam He bought a dowry box from Cangjin Pavilion not long ago. Madam Zheng should know about this, right?"

Madam Zheng's face twitched subtly, and she nodded: "Of course I know this..."

Song Shiyun narrowed his eyes and looked at her, "Not only does the lady know about this, she should also know that there is something wrong with the box, right?"

Madam Zheng waved her hands quickly, "I really don't know this! I..."

Song Shiyun burst out laughing and interrupted Madam Zheng's words.

Madam Zheng was stunned and didn't understand what this meant.

Song Shiyun smiled faintly, "If you really don't know, shouldn't the lady ask as soon as she heard what I said, is there anything wrong with the box?"

Madam Zheng: "..."

She just realized that there was something wrong with her answer.

When Mrs. He heard this, she pointed at Mrs. Zheng angrily, "Okay, you really know!"

Madam Zheng's eyelids twitched and she opened her mouth to defend herself.

Song Shiyun did not give her a chance: "Ms. Zheng, I believe you are not a treacherous and evil person, and you probably don't want to harm others. But now, Madam He Yuanlan He is dying because of that set of boxes. If you don't want to If this matter has stained you, you should tell the truth, otherwise the He family may have no choice but to use you to pay for Madam He's life."

Hearing this, Madam Zheng turned pale and said in horror: "Hey, Madam He is about to die? But, what does this have to do with the box? And it has nothing to do with me?"

Song Shiyun looked at her.

Judging from Mrs. Zheng's reaction downstairs just now and now, Mrs. Zheng should know that there is something wrong with the box, but she doesn't know exactly what is wrong with the box.

Thinking of this, Song Shiyun said directly: "That box is stained with dead people's blood. It is such an unlucky thing. How dare you sell it to Madam He? Madam Zheng, if only this matter is spread, you will hide the gold." Maybe the pavilion will be destroyed?"

A hint of guilt flashed in Madam Zheng's eyes.

Song Shiyun narrowed his eyes, "Mrs. Zheng really knows that the box was stained with dead people's blood?"

When Mrs. Zheng heard this, her eyes became a little wandering.

She could tell that Song Shiyun might have discovered this, so he tightened the handkerchief in his hand with some guilt, "I..."

Song Shiyun reminded: "Ms. Zheng, we are not here to take revenge on the Hidden Gold Pavilion, we just want to know the truth of the matter. If Madam Zheng is willing to tell the truth, we will naturally not hold the Hidden Gold Pavilion responsible. After all, People who love money are common in the world, and there are also people who will do whatever it takes to get money. We believe that Mrs. Zheng may have concealed some things for the sake of money, but I believe that Mrs. Zheng did not do it to harm others, so we are here. , I just want the truth, but if Mrs. Zheng is unwilling to tell the truth, then don’t blame us for being rude."

Song Shiyun's words made Madam Zheng completely lose her temper.

No matter what, if something really happened to He Yuanlan, once word got out that the dowry box was stained with dead people's blood, her Golden Pavilion would be finished.

After all, a businessman like her is too insignificant compared to a serious aristocratic family, and is no match for the aristocratic family.

If the family wanted to crush her to death, it would be as easy as crushing an ant.
