After eavesdropping on my thoughts, the whole family went crazy

Chapter 19, Second Brother Apologizes

"You have always said you wanted to pay me back, but I was not in the capital and you never paid me back. Now that I am back, are you..."

It's time to pay back the money.

[When the second brother was thousands of miles away on Yangyan Mountain, Su Jingchen was able to find the second brother and successfully borrow money. 】

[Why can’t I wait until I pay back the money? 】

[Su Jingchen's excuse was perfunctory enough. Fortunately, the second brother was not embarrassed to ask for the debt. 】

Su Jingchen forced a smile.

Before he went out, his father said that Jiang asked someone to count the dowry, so he took away all the valuable things in the house.

He really has no money now.

But when it comes to this, he has to pay it back.

"Okay, I will send the money to Taishi's mansion tonight."

He really regretted meeting Su Jinyi on the street today.

Now I not only have to worry about my mother going to jail, but I also have to find a way to pay back the money.

"I have to go to Jia Bookstore. Do you want to go?"

Among the people present, only Dongfang Hongzhi liked to go to Jia Bookstore the most.

He brought this up because he wanted to call Dongfang Hongzhi away and have a chat with Dongfang Hongzhi alone.

Dongfang Hongzhi is a person who knows how to observe words and emotions.

Through his observations just now, he was sure that Su Jinyi was going to draw a clear line with Su Jingchen.

Su Jingchen has lost his greatest value, and there is no need for him to be brothers with Su Jingchen.

Dongfang Hongzhi shook his head.

Su Jingchen felt a little regretful and did not realize the seriousness of the matter.

"Then I'll go ahead and won't talk to you any more." Su Jingchen nodded and left in a hurry.

Su Jinyi let out a long sigh of relief.

Why was he so blind before that he didn't realize that Su Jingchen had been using him?

Thanks to Yaoyao's reminder, he woke up.

Dongfang Hongzhi handed an invitation to Jiang.

"Auntie, there is a banquet in the palace tomorrow afternoon. This is the invitation."

"Please bring Yaoyao with you. You must come."

[You even specifically mentioned my name. What are you trying to do? 】

[But I’m looking forward to going inside the palace. 】

[I hope it will be a fun banquet, but not a boring one. 】

Jiang took the invitation and read it, "Okay, I will go."

Dongfang Hongzhi chatted casually with Su Jingchen for a few words, then said goodbye and left.

Jiang's family of three played outside for most of the day and did not return home until dinner.

As soon as she entered the house, she saw Bai Ying covering her face and running out of the house.

Su Jinyi grabbed Bai Ying's arm and stopped her in time.

"Bai Ying, what happened? Why do you want to leave the house?"

Bai Ying's eyes were filled with tears, and there was a red slap mark on her face.

Su Jinyi frowned and became angry all of a sudden.

"Who hit you? Was it Gu Hongling?"

Bai Ying's tears flowed even more fiercely, and she shook her head as she cried.

Su Jinyi snorted coldly.

"You don't have to excuse her, I know it must be her."

"After all, it's not the first time she's done this."

"Gu Hongling is really too arrogant. I must settle the score with her."

Su Jinyi pulled Bai Ying and walked into the house angrily.

"Bai Ying, don't be afraid. I will take you to seek justice. As long as I am here, Gu Hongling will not dare to do anything to you."

Bai Ying kept shaking her head and making a 'no go' gesture with one hand.

Su Yaoyao looked disgusted.

[My stupid second brother, why are you so stupid? I bet this was definitely not caused by Sister Hongling. 】

[Sister Hongling’s martial arts skills are higher than yours, second brother. If she really slaps someone, she can’t slap him so lightly. 】

[Sister Hongling can send someone flying with just one slap, and the person’s face will definitely swell up after being slapped. 】

[Look at the slap mark on Bai Ying's face. If it takes a while, the slap mark will probably disappear. 】

[Since it is a slap, who else but Bai Ying herself would slap him so lightly? 】

Su Jinyi's steps suddenly stopped.

Thinking about it carefully, what Yaoyao said does make sense. A flash of confusion flashed across Bai Ying's eyes very quickly.

Didn't Su Jinyi want to take her to settle the score with Gu Hongling?
  Why did you stop?

She kept making gestures of 'no going' just to show off, not because she really wanted Su Jinyi not to go.

She was still thinking about watching Gu Hongling being scolded by Su Jinyi.

Su Jinyi's eyes were a little complicated, "Bai Ying, was it Gu Hongling who beat you?"

Bai Ying shook her head as usual.

[It wasn’t Sister Hongling who beat me. 】

[Second brother, please don’t make up your own mind. 】

"Then who hit you?"

Bai Ying lowered her head, hands hanging by her sides, and did not respond to Su Jinyi.

Su Jinyi pursed her lips and let go of Bai Ying.

Similar things have happened many times.

He had always thought it was Gu Hongling who did it.

Even if Gu Hongling denies it, he still thinks that Gu Hongling is lying.

Now it seems that he wrongly blamed Gu Hongling.

Su Jinyi felt deep guilt for Gu Hongling in her heart.

At the same time, I was also a little disappointed with Bai Ying.

He had an impulsive temper, and Bai Ying actually took advantage of this and asked him to hurt Gu Hongling again and again.

For the first time, he realized that Bai Ying also had scheming intentions.

"Bai Ying, if you don't tell who it is, I can't do justice to you."

"It's getting late now and it's not safe outside. Go back."

[Thank God, my second brother is not stupid. 】

When Gu Hongling came over, she saw Su Jinyi saying something to Bai Ying.

A hint of ridicule flashed across the corner of Gu Hongling's mouth, and she crossed her arms over her chest.

What Su Jinyi said must be scolding her.

I believe Su Jinyi will come over to stand up for Bai Ying soon.

Seeing Bai Ying not moving, Su Jinyi felt a little irritated.

"Sorry, I'm tired. I'm going back to my room first." Su Jinyi walked away.

When passing by Gu Hongling, his steps paused.

"I wrongly blamed you before, I'm sorry."

Gu Hongling was stunned for a moment and looked at Su Jinyi in surprise.

"Did you take the wrong medicine?"

[My second brother may have taken smart medicine today. 】

[It feels like my second brother has grown a lot of brains, but not much. 】

Su Jinyi glared at Gu Hongling.

Instead of quarreling with Gu Hongling as usual, he strode away.

Jiang made peace with a smile and persuaded Bai Ying and Gu Hongling to return to their respective courtyards.

Jiang also returned to his yard.

Qiuer handed a list to Jiang.

"Madam, this is what is missing from the dowry. Please take a look at it."

Jiang looked at Su Chenghua standing in the courtyard and raised an eyebrow.

If there was nothing important, Su Chenghua would never come to her yard.

It seems that there are many things missing from her dowry.

Jiang took the list and glanced at it.

Sure enough.

Su Yaoyao skimmed a lot of words.

【A lot of things are missing. 】

[Liu Xiaoqin and the others must be spending too much money. 】

[Co-authorship is not your own money, so don’t feel bad about spending it. 】

[No wonder Daddy came here in person today. 】

Jiang returned the list to Qiu'er, "Report to the official."

Su Chenghua pretended to cough, "Wait a minute, madam."
