Chapter 257: Proving Innocence 2
"Greetings to mother, to elder brother--"
When Sun Lingjun entered the door, he bowed respectfully, and the other juniors also asked people to bow.
The old lady hurriedly said, "Aren't you recuperating? Why are you here?"
Sun Lingjun walked over with a smile, and the old lady quickly asked the servant to add a stool. Sun Lingjun sat down and said, "I didn't plan to come out, but I thought it was a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and my wife had to celebrate the festival for you on behalf of the second master, so she came."
Sun Lingjun said, glanced at the table and the people kneeling all over the ground, and said, "When did this happen?"
The old lady and Shen Huai looked slightly dark, as if they were reluctant to say more. Hu sighed and said, "My brother and sister don't know. Today's banquet was originally handed over to Xier. Everything seemed to be fine on the face, but the most expensive hairy crab was a dead crab. The osmanthus wine from Changzhou was a large jar of loose wine from a liang of silver. We all heard earlier that Xier spent a lot of effort to transport these things from Huzhou and Changzhou, but today I found that these things were inferior as good ones..."
Hu looked at Shen Qingxi helplessly and reproachfully, "We didn't believe it at first, but when the Prime Minister asked sternly, he learned from the first-class girl beside Xier that Xier hated the Prime Minister to send her to Luozhou that year, and wanted to move the money from the Prime Minister's Mansion to his mother's dowry shop. Alas, this is all unfaithful, unfilial and unrighteous!"
Sun Lingjun was slightly surprised for a moment and glanced at Shen Qingxi who was standing calmly, "Oh? There is something like this? Although I am recuperating, I also know that the young lady has a reputation of tolerance and generosity. Today's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is even more unique..."
Shen Qingrou smiled slightly, "What the second aunt is talking about is that we all know the reputation of my elder sister, but I didn't expect that the truth was so heartbreaking. My elder sister has an Anding Hou as her grandfather, so she naturally doesn't take the prime minister's mansion into consideration."
Shen Qingxi smiled coldly, "Second sister, where did you start? I have been back for so long, have I ever been to Anding Hou Mansion?"
Shen Qingrou sighed helplessly, "Why did the eldest sister send the money to Mrs. Xian's shop?"
After saying this, Shen Huai's brows immediately stood up even more powerfully!
Andinghou had military power in hand, which was the one he hated the most. And because of Song's death, he sent Shen Qingxi away. For so many years, Andinghou had no good face when he saw him. He had long since he didn't want to treat Andinghou's mansion as a relative!
But, Shen Qingxi turned his elbow to Anding Hou Mansion! This really slapped him in the face!
Shen Qingrou smiled slightly when she saw Shen Huai's angry expression. She knew her father and knew what to say to poke her father's painful foot...
Sun Lingjun smiled, "There is only a maid's testimony? No evidence?"
Mrs. Hu hurriedly said, "Some say there are letters hidden in the study, and I have asked someone to search."
Sun Lingjun nodded. At this moment, Yu's mother, who was beside her, walked to Sun Lingjun's ear and said something. Sun Lingjun looked surprised. The others paid attention to this and looked at her, but Sun Lingjun only pursed her lips and didn't speak. Everyone was thinking about Shen Qingxi, so naturally no one took the initiative to ask. Not long after, Mother Xu and Butler Yang came back!
Seeing Mama Xu entering the flower hall with a small cloth bag, everyone frowned, and the Hu mother and daughter were even more surprised, and they found something! But on the side, Vanilla frowned-
