C157 (1/2)

The embroidery lady sat at the gate of the Shu Courtyard and sobbed for more than two hours. It was only until the servants of the Shu Family became impatient and chased her away several times that she finally left.

Just like that, the embroidery lady went home sobbing. She looked at her mother, who was sleeping soundly, and all the hopes in her heart turned into ashes. In the end, the embroidery lady thought and thought. She took out a rope from her house and hung it on the house beam. She stretched her neck in an attempt to hang herself.

It just so happened that old man Wang had just come back from helping her. He thought to himself that they were passing by the embroidery lady's house to see how she was doing when she asked for a IOU. He called out the embroidery lady's name as he looked through the door. With a glance, he saw the embroidery lady hanging on the beam of the room. When old man Wang saw this, he was startled. He quickly took a few steps forward to save the embroidery mother.

At this moment, Widow Zheng had also woken up. Seeing her daughter in such a state, she was so anxious that she was crying. He thought to himself, ”My poor daughter, why do you have to worry so much?”

After saving the embroidery mother with much difficulty, Old Man Wang and Widow Zheng finally let go of their suspenseful hearts.

”Lady, why do you think this is so painful? Didn't I already give you money to return the money? ”Why are you looking for fault?” Old man Wang said sincerely.

However, it was fine that old man Wang didn't mention the money. The moment she heard old man Wang mention the money, the embroidery lady cried out loud.

Upon seeing the lady embroidery crying, both of them guessed that the girl had gone to return the money and had been cheated by Young Master Shu. Immediately, he comforted the embroidery lady. After a long conversation, the embroidery lady stopped crying.

Then, the embroidery lady sobbed as she recounted how she went to the Shu Family to repay the money, and how Meng Liang and Qian Xi took their money and entered the Shu Family. When old man Wang heard these words, he became angry. He comforted the embroidery mother and daughter, reassuring them that he would go to the Shu Family tomorrow morning to seek justice for them. Only then did Lady Zheng and the embroidery lady feel slightly more at ease.

The next morning, Old Man Wang sneaked up to Shu's house and waited until almost noon before he saw Shu Lin leave the house. Currently, Shu Lin was dressed in a royal blue tattooed gongzi dress with a few flowers embroidered on it. There was an embroidered silk ribbon tied around his waist and he held a fan in his hand. However, everyone in the Lin Clan knew that this man, dressed in a very scholarly manner, was a famous lecturer of the Ming Clan.

Old man Wang secretly cursed in his heart when he saw Shu Lin's outfit. Old man Wang followed Shu Lin all the way until they were far away from the courtyard and onto a main street. Old man Wang stopped Shu Lin.

”Hello, Young Master Shu.” Old man Wang cupped his hands towards Shu Lin.

Shu Lin saw a dirty old man blocking his way and felt a bit unhappy. He frowned at old man Wang.

”Who are you? ”How dare you block my way?” Schulin's tone was filled with resentment.

Old man Wang was not angry when he saw Shu Lin like this. After all, lower class people like them were often yelled at by these rich people. Thus, after a long time, they had gotten used to it.

”Reporting to young master, this old man's surname is Wang, everyone calls me Wang San.” I live at the east side of the city. Old man Wang chuckled.
