The Legitimate Daughter Returns: The Real Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 164 Human Greed

 “Miss, everything down here is...”

“Probably all Lin Wenbin’s savings over the years are here.”

Su Leyun received it lightly and went downstairs with Lian Xin.

The basement was dark. Cuiliu found a few candlesticks and lit the candles.

I saw several large boxes in front of me, containing a lot of gold, silver and jewelry. There were also several account books and the title deeds of some shops.

 “Miss, this account book belongs to the bookstore.”

The last time I was in the book store, Cuiliu had seen it a few times. Now when I opened it and took a look, I felt that it looked familiar.

“Bring these account books and land deeds with you.”

Su Leyun gave orders, and Lian Xin and Cuiliu quickly brought the things with them.

 It wasn’t until they left the house that the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

The old man who was sweeping the floor was no longer there. Su Leyun looked at the snow on the ground and felt a sudden chill in his heart.

 Something’s not quite right.

Who is that old man?

 “Miss, what’s wrong?”

Lian Xin noticed Su Leyun's stunned look, "But what's the problem?"

Su Leyun shook his head, "It's okay, let's go back."

 Back to Chaohua Xiaozhu.

There are a total of seven account books brought back, plus the ones sent by the ‘Mr. Accountant’ earlier, there are eight books in total.

 Presumably this is the real account book.

Su Leyun looked at the resignation letter. The handwriting was neat and the writing was strong. How come she could only see now that the handwriting was clearly not written by an old man.

But the fired accountant Mr. Lin Wenbin mentioned is now eighty years old.

Sitting at the table, Su Leyun was confused.

 Who is doing these things behind the scenes, and what is the purpose?

Is it just to tell her that Lin Wenbin embezzled money from the book store?

Su Leyun couldn't figure it out for a moment and sighed softly.

　It’s late at night when I’m busy

　　After Su Leyun finished counting the account books, he couldn't help but sigh at the greed of people.

 At the beginning, Lin Wenbin was only greedy for money little by little. Perhaps he got the advantage, and he became more and more arrogant later on.

 It was also because his uncle was away from home all year round and could not control the situation of the bookstore that made Lin Wenbin so proud.

Moreover, he also cooperates with other vendors to resell the paper the bookstore receives every quarter.

“Cuiliu, you can take these things to Sun Mansion tomorrow and let your uncle handle them.”

Although she is now the owner of the bookstore, she still has to get along with her uncle. After all, Lin Wenbin has been the shopkeeper for so many years.

 “Yes, Miss, you should also rest.”

Su Leyun nodded and got on the bed under Cui Liu's service.

  —

 “Aqin?”

Su Leyun stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Liu Qin's eyes.

 It took a while before Liu Qin came back to her senses.

 The needle in my hand was not held properly, and it pricked my finger.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　.

Liu Qin quickly covered the wound and looked at Su Leyun apologetically, "What's wrong?"

 “It’s time to change lines.”

Su Leyun pointed at the pattern on the embroidery cloth. The embroidery thread had already taken up most of the embroidery cloth.

 Obviously, after some time, this embroidery will be completed.

Liu Qin quickly took off the needle and thread, "Sorry, I was distracted for a moment."

“What’s going on with you these days? Are you still thinking about your previous participation in the film?”

"No." Liu Qin sighed, "I can't find any evidence for that matter. Mom also thought I was talking nonsense, but fortunately I didn't drink that ginseng tea again. But I don't understand why my aunt did this. ?”

 “Do you want to find out about this?”

Su Leyun could feel that this matter was like a thorn in Liu Qin's side. She might not feel comfortable if she found out. But if she didn't know, she would keep thinking about it.

Liu Qin's eyes lit up and he looked at Su Leyun, "Leyun, can you help me find it?"

“I can ask someone to check it for you, but you may not like the answer you get in the end.”

Su Leyun also didn’t understand why Liu Jianglan treated Liu’s mother like this.

As far as she knows, Liu Jianglan has been raised by Liu Mu and the Liu family these years. What reason does she have to harm Liu Mu?

 “Le Yun, I just want to know an answer now.”

Liu Qin smiled weakly.

Seeing Liu Qin's expression, Su Leyun nodded and asked Sun Wen to investigate the matter.

Most likely Liu Jianglan didn’t think anyone would investigate this matter, so Sun Wen found out the situation easily.

 The reason why Liu Jianglan tampered with the ginseng slices was to get money from Mother Liu.

More than two years ago, Liu's mother's illness improved a lot, and Liu Jianglan found that the money she could get was less.

The reason is that Liu Qin earned all the money for Liu Qin's illness. Therefore, after Liu's mother felt that her illness was much better, she felt sorry for Liu Qin and wanted to save money for Liu Qin and Liu He to marry. Liu's mother reduced her own medicine expenses, and the money she spent on Liu Jianglan was also less.

Liu Jianglan was used to spending money, so she couldn't help but come up with this method.

 But there is still a problem in the middle.

“Has your mother had a different doctor?”

Su Leyun asked.

Liu Qin nodded, "It should have been a year and a half ago. The doctor who had been treating my mother said he wanted to return to his hometown, so Liu He found a new doctor for my mother."

“Liu He knew about this a year and a half ago.”

"What?"

Liu Qin’s eyes widened. Liu He knew about this?

 He actually allowed Liu Jianglan to do this. That was his mother!

Su Leyun was not too surprised. Although she had only met Liu He a few times, her impressions were not good.

It wasn’t that she had any preconceptions, but Liu He’s whole person gave her a very cold feeling.

 Sometimes it even makes her think about it, which makes her a little scared.

 She had only experienced this feeling with Han Qingyuan.

 It was the time in the previous life when the other party led people to burn down the Sun Mansion.

Liu Qin’s face was pale and she didn’t know how to react.

“Le Yun, thank you for helping me find out about this matter.”

 After a while, she opened her mouth.

 There was gratitude in his eyes.

If it weren't for Xu Zhian's incident, Liu Qin would never have thought that the family she thought was harmonious and beautiful would have so many hidden stories.

Su Leyun didn't know how to comfort Liu Qin, "What are you going to do about this matter?"

"What can we do? One is my mother's biological sister and the other is her son. Even if she does such a thing, it is impossible for her to hate them."

Liu Qin smiled helplessly and looked very weak.

 This incident had a huge impact on her.

“Le Yun, I’m a little tired. I’ll go back today.”

"good."

Looking at Liu Qin's leaving figure, Su Leyun sighed softly, turned around and put away the needle and thread.

 The production of "A Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix" has come to an end.

 The embroidered patterns are lifelike.

 There is still one month left before the Queen Mother’s birthday banquet, which is enough time.

However, before that, there is another big thing.

 That is Chunwei.

Su Leyun blinked and remembered one thing. She had promised Qin Xiu to go there before, but now that she was delayed by these things, she forgot about it.
