The Legitimate Daughter Returns: The Real Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 96 Distant Cousin

Su Leyun doesn't have that much patience. If she hadn't received the account book today, she might have been concealed by Lin Wenbin.

 “Cuiliu, go and report to the official.”

"yes."

Although Cuiliu was confused, she quickly agreed and turned around to go out.

Lin Er's heart shrank, "Second Miss, what do you want to do?"

"Since you don't want to speak, how about letting the government handle it? You know, embezzling your employer's property is enough to keep you in jail for the rest of your life."

Su Leyun raised his eyes to look at Lin Er, with no warmth in his eyes.

 When Su Leyun looked at him like this, the barrier Lin Er had just established was broken again.

Jail?

 He doesn’t want to go to jail!

"If you cooperate with me honestly, I will naturally give you a lighter punishment. I think although Lin Wenbin asked you to make false accounts, he didn't pay you much, right?"

Su Leyun took a look at Lin Er. Although he was well-dressed, there were patches on his shoes, and the jade pendant around his waist was very cheap. Most of the money was probably swallowed up by Lin Wenbin.

Lin Er was stunned. He thought about the money he had received in the past. He had also questioned it, but Lin Wenbin said that he could not take out more money so quickly and could only give it to him little by little.

"small…"

His expression became more and more hesitant, Cuiliu also stopped at the door early and did not push the door open.

Just a little bit behind, Su Leyun thought for a moment and said, "Lin Er, if you don't tell me, I can check it myself. The reason why I ask you is to give you a chance, and I hope you don't miss it."

 After saying that, Su Leyun stood up and walked towards the door.

 Her steps were not fast, she was waiting for Lin Er's answer.

As he walked to the door, Cuiliu was about to open the door and go out when there was a sound behind him.

 “Second Miss, I said.”

Su Leyun slowly turned around and met Lin Er's eyes.

 The latter took a deep breath and said, "Second Miss, what you just said still count?"

"nature."

Downstairs, Lin Wenbin’s expression in front of the counter became more and more solemn.

He looked at the stairs with some uneasiness. The next moment, he stood up straight and took out a bunch of keys from under the counter.

Lin Wenbin walked to the back door with the key. There was a dry well outside the door.

 He went down the well along the rope, and soon climbed up with a wooden box in his hand.

Holding the wooden box in his arms, Lin Wenbin hurried out of the bookstore.

 Su Mansion.

 Huairou Pavilion.

 “Madam, my aunt is here.”

Mother Li entered the room with a strange expression and whispered in Sun Jiarou's ear.

You must know that for so many years since Madam has been married to the Su family, the number of times this lady has come to Huairou Pavilion can only be counted on your fingers, no more than five fingers. And every time she comes, a lot of troubles will happen.

 “Ask her to come in.”

Sun Jiarou nodded, with a calm expression.

Su Changying was quickly welcomed in. When she saw the simple decoration in Sun Jiarou's house, a hint of sarcasm flashed across her eyes.

“Sister-in-law, I came today so I didn’t disturb you.”

With these words on his lips, Su Changying sat down on her own without waiting for Sun Jiarou's greeting, as if she was the owner here.

"What do you find me for?"

Sun Jiarou motioned to the maid to serve tea to Su Changying, her tone not fluctuating much.

Su Changying frowned slightly. She came to see Sun Jiarou rarely, but when did Sun Jiarou not entertain her in a friendly manner?

Recalling the situation on the day she returned to Beijing, Su Changying looked at Sun Jiarou without any trace.

"Sister-in-law, I've been back home for a few days and haven't come to your yard to have a look. It happens to be empty, so I came to take a look. I heard that my brother hasn't come to your yard these days. Is something wrong with you? Why don't you tell me, maybe I can help my sister-in-law."

"The Marquis has a heavy official schedule and he came back very late after finishing his work. He was afraid of disturbing me, so he didn't come." Sun Jiarou chuckled, her face softened, "What's more, we are an old married couple, why do we need to stay together all day long? Together."

Seeing Sun Jiarou's expression, Su Changying breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this stupid woman hadn't discovered anything yet.

 Thinking about it, the smile on Su Changying's lips became more obvious.

"Actually, I do have something to discuss with my sister-in-law today." Su Changying glanced at Sun Jiarou and continued: "Lu Hong's distant cousin came to the capital not long ago and wanted to join Lu Hong. Sister-in-law, you also know that Lu Hong was promoted. The Holy Father has not issued an edict on the matter, and we have no way to purchase a house, so Lu Hong and I thought of letting them live in the house temporarily."

Sun Jiarou looked at Su Changying with confusion on her face: "How come I haven't heard of any distant relatives in the Lu family? I'm afraid someone is pretending to be one? Have you and your brother-in-law investigated this matter clearly?"

If the Lu family has any distant relatives, it is impossible for the Sun family not to know about them.

Let alone coming out at this moment, Sun Jiarou didn't believe Su Changying's words at all. She said it while thinking about what Su Changying was going to do.

 “Sister-in-law, you are worrying too much.” Su Changying’s expression stiffened for a moment, but Sun Jiarou did not miss it.

"It is true that he is a distant relative of Lu Hong, but we rarely contacted each other before, and we only contacted him after we went to Suzhou." After saying that, Su Changying sighed, "Sister-in-law, I also told my brother about this, but brother I said I must get your consent. If you really don’t want to, then I can only refuse..."

 “Is this what the Marquis said?”

Sun Jiarou seemed to be moved and asked hesitantly.

Su Changying saw the drama and said quickly: "Really, sister-in-law, my brother also said that if you don't agree, sister-in-law, he will definitely listen to you."

"..." Sun Jiarou smiled, "Since the Marquis has said so, I can't refuse anymore. After all, he is a relative of Lu Hong, and naturally a relative of our Su family."

“Sister-in-law, I wish you could think so.”

The ridicule in Su Changying's eyes became more and more obvious. She already wanted to see Sun Jiarou's regret later.

So what if she is Sun Shao's daughter? She has no brains and is not under the control of the Su family.

 Brother really chose a good wife back then.

 When Su Changying left, Grandma Li was a little worried.

“Madam, that distant cousin, I’m afraid it’s not that simple, right?”

"The soldiers came to cover up the water and the earth. If Su Changqing and Su Changying still think that I am the same as before, then they are wrong."

Sun Jiarou suppressed the coldness in her eyes and took a sip of the cold tea.

The coolness entered her throat and dissipated the heat in her chest.

Su Changying came to Huairou Pavilion just to get her to agree to let Lu Hong's distant cousin stay.

 But the look in Su Changying's eyes told her that things were definitely not that simple.

Is this distant cousin a relative of Lu Hong, or who is it?

Sun Jiarou did not think any further, even though the answer was right in front of her eyes.

 “Madam?”

Mother Li called out several times before Sun Jiarou came back to her senses.

Facing Grandma Li's worried eyes, Sun Jiarou waved her hands and said, "Grandma, don't worry about me, I'm just a little tired."

“Then let me help my wife to rest.”

Sun Jiarou nodded.
