Chapter 109 Zhao Zhao Doesn’t Have Such Deep Thoughts
Liu Xiangyun shrank back.
“Yes…I embroidered it.”
Song Yuntang took a deep breath and looked at Zhao Qiao'e as calmly as possible, "Does mother know about this?"
Zhao hesitated and didn't dare to speak.
When Song Yuntang saw her like this, he immediately understood everything.
"Why? Didn't I tell you not to embroider the same design and sell them together?"
Zhao Qiao'e said with a guilty conscience, "I saw that the young lady liked them, so perhaps ordinary people would like them too. Besides, these three handkerchiefs were embroidered by your sister-in-law when she was learning embroidery from mother. I thought that people wouldn't notice such embroidery. In order not to waste the fabric, I asked your brother to take them to town and sell them at a low price."
Looking at the two unscrupulous women in front of him, Song Yuntang was almost laughing out of anger.
"You think you're doing the right thing, right?" She suppressed her temper. "I bargained down the price of thirty cents from the shopkeeper today to buy these three handkerchiefs. It's only because Miss Jiang is so generous that she didn't make a fuss about it. If she had, we'd be in trouble. Don't you understand?"
Zhao Qiao'e was a little confused.
"We only sold these three handkerchiefs for twelve cents in total, and you actually bought them for thirty cents? Is this how you spent the betrothal gift the Xu family gave you?"
Song Yuntang frowned, "Don't try to avoid the important issues. If Miss Jiang starts to make a fuss, we'll be in trouble!"
Zhao Qiao'e began to smooth things over.
"I don't care about this."
"What if she makes a fuss?" Song Yuntang raised his voice.
Looking at her attitude, Zhao Qiao'e felt a little unhappy, but she still tried to make her tone softer.
"I thought you came back to see us, and I didn't expect you to bring us anything, but why did you act so arrogantly as soon as you walked in? Besides, we did do something wrong in this matter, but since Miss Jiang didn't make a fuss about it, why are you still making such a fuss?"
Hearing this, Song Yuntang wished he could go back to the past.
"I must be crazy to want you to make some money to support your livelihood before leaving here. Zhuzi, go to my mother's room and get my blueprints."
Seeing Zhuzi stunned, she shouted again, "Go quickly!"
"Oh." Zhuzi was quick and took out the blueprint and gave it to Song Yuntang in a moment.
Zhao was stunned.
"Tang'er, what did you mean by that just now? Did you plan to leave a long time ago?"
Song Yuntang raised his eyes, "What else? Having a mother like you who is confused and incompetent, haven't I suffered enough in the past three years?"
Looking at Song Yuntang's resentful expression, Zhao Qiao'e burst into tears out of grievance.
"I've been kind to you in everything for the past three years. Isn't that good enough? If you don't tell me many things, how can I guess what you're thinking?"
Although Zhuzi and Zhuangzi didn't have the heart to do it, they didn't dare to say a word to Song Yuntang.
After all, it was my mother and sister-in-law who were at fault in this matter.
They ignored it.
Song Yuntang took a deep breath.
"What about Miss Jiang's handkerchief? Did I tell you about it all along? Or did I emphasize it? Just because I made a promise to her doesn't mean you don't have to keep it, right?"
"We do business with others to make money, but we also have to keep our promises. If we don't keep our promises, how can we expect others to continue doing business with you in the future?"
Zhao Qiao'e was stunned.
"She...she originally wanted to do business with us?"
Song Yuntang looked at her and said, "Originally, as long as you guys didn't make trouble, I was confident that she would continue to be with you. But now that things have gotten this bad, even if you want me to, I don't dare to let her continue."
Zhao Qiao'e felt a panic in her heart.
"Tang'er, you can't be so cruel. We have such a big family and we still have to make a living."
Liu Xiangyun also hurriedly said, "Yes, Tang'er, I will give birth at the end of the year, and the family expenses are also high. For the sake of your first nephew, please help our family."
Song Yuntang laughed angrily.
"I'm cruel? I worked so hard to bring you business, and the money I earned went into your own pockets, not mine. It was you who were short-sighted and broke your promise first. Why are you talking like I'm going to cut off your financial resources?"
She didn't want to say too much to the two of them, so she suppressed all her emotions and asked the last question, which was also the question she wanted to ask most today.
"Has Lin Zhaozhao come here since I left?"
Zhao Qiao'e thought that Song Yuntang was against Lin Zhaozhao coming home, and had not asked anyone to mention it to her before in order to avoid any unpleasantness. She didn't expect that she actually knew it.
"How did you know? Did Jinsheng tell you?"
"My second brother is closer to me, but he never mentioned anything about our family affairs to me. Don't put everything on him." Song Yuntang looked at her. "The incident with the handkerchief started with Lin Zhaozhao. Miss Jiang first saw that Lin Zhaozhao and she used the same handkerchief, so she went to the cloth shop to investigate."
As she spoke, she took out Lin Zhaozhao's handkerchief.
"To explain this to Miss Jiang, I've already removed the stitching from the kitten's belly. Even if Lin Zhaozhao's embroidery skills are excellent, she was only thirteen when she left the Song family. I doubt she could have such an unforgettable memory without any prior painting skills, or even embroider more detailed designs than my sister-in-law can."
Liu Xiangyun knew that her embroidery skills were not up to par yet, so she couldn't help but mutter awkwardly, "I embroidered those when I first started learning needlework. My embroidery now is definitely better than it was then."
Song Yuntang ignored her and looked at Zhao Qiao'e.
"Did you show the blueprints to Lin Zhaozhao?"
"When she came, the blueprint was on my desk. She said she would give it to me after taking a look, so I went to the kitchen to work. Later, she accidentally took it to the Lin Mansion..."
The more Zhao Qiao'e spoke, the lower her voice became.
"and then?"
Song Yuntang's tone was very calm, neither angry nor happy.
To her, it's no longer strange.
Zhao said that she was doing it for her own good, but in fact, her heart was biased.
"She sent it back the next day. I didn't think much of it at the time. She might have really liked the look of the picture, but I didn't expect Miss Jiang to see it."
The more Zhao Qiao'e spoke, the less confident she became.
Song Yuntang looked at her. "Couldn't it be that Lin Zhaozhao first recognized that the handkerchief in Miss Jiang's hand was embroidered by you, so she came to our house to test us, and then embroidered it herself and deliberately let Miss Jiang see it to cause trouble for us? Don't you think Lin Zhaozhao is too naive?"
Deep down, Zhao Qiao'e was unwilling to believe it.
"That shouldn't be the case, right? Zhao Zhao doesn't have such deep thoughts."
Song Yuntang laughed self-deprecatingly, "Alright, just think of me asking for trouble by humiliating myself. You subconsciously don't believe what I say, and you even think Lin Zhaozhao's farts smell good. I hope that when you fall into her hands in the future, don't blame me for not warning you."
"Tang'er, I know you have a deep prejudice against Zhao Zhao..."
Song Yuntang obviously didn't want to listen to her anymore. He picked up his hat and handkerchief and left quickly, as if he had seen a ghost.
Zhao Qiao'e chased her to the gate of the courtyard, watched her leave, and finally sighed.
"Why is she so unwilling to talk to me properly? If she were half as considerate as Zhao Zhao, our mother-daughter relationship wouldn't be like this."
