Chapter 426 Wei Yao Pawns the Bracelet

"Tell me, what's the matter." Jiang Suining looked at Jiang Mushi with a smile.

"Sister, it's nothing serious. I just want to ask about one of your female officials named Wei..."

"Wei Yao." Jiang Suining took over Jiang Mushi's words.

"That's right, Wei Yao, sister, do you know her? Especially her background and her family and relatives."

Jiang Suining recalled the day when he ran into Wei Yao working as a handyman in the restaurant, and shook his head and said, "We didn't meet much, so we don't know each other well."

"Is that so..." Jiang Mushi's tone was somewhat disappointed.

"Why are you suddenly asking about her?" Jiang Suining looked at Jiang Mushi.

"Nothing, I just saw her in the restaurant before going home, so I asked a few questions casually." Jiang Mushi avoided Jiang Suining's gaze, shrugged his shoulders lightly and spoke.

"Restaurant..." Jiang Suining looked at Jiang Mushi's expression, "You went to Wei Tongfu's restaurant?"

"Yes, I..." Jiang Mushi nodded halfway and suddenly froze, "Sister, didn't you say you didn't understand? How did you know?"

"I really don't know much about it. I just happened to see Wei Yao helping out in the restaurant once." Jiang Suining paused and looked at Jiang Mushi. "Tell me the truth, what happened?"

Seeing that he couldn't hide it from Jiang Suining, Jiang Mushi didn't cover it up any more. He sighed and told him everything he had seen in the restaurant today.

"Sister, I just feel that the female guard is a little too pitiful. We are all family relatives, but it makes people feel angry to bully others like that."

Now that I think about it, when Wei Yao ran over in a hurry at the palace gate before, she probably didn't have the money to hire a carriage. Maybe after getting up, she had to help her uncle and aunt with their work, and then she could rush to the palace to take up her duty.

"Not to mention relatives, even if they are relatives, they may not be reliable. You don't have to be so sad."

Just like himself and Han Nian'an.

Another example is Yang Manman and her parents.

Who is not anyone's relative?

"Sister, I think it's not easy to pass the exam to become a female official. Since that female official is determined to improve herself, why don't you give her a hand? Anyway, she is just short of some money now." Jiang Mushi looked at Jiang Suining expectantly.

Jiang Suining raised his hand and tapped his head gently, "Since you want to help, why don't you help yourself."

"That's not the case. I don't know her, and if I rashly help her, I might hurt her self-esteem."

"But she and I are just colleagues. We can even say that we are competitors. Do you think she will accept my help?"

Jiang Suining's question made Jiang Mushi frown. If it was someone else, maybe it would be possible, but...

Thinking of Wei Yao's stubborn look when she asked for the handkerchief, he felt that the other party might really not be willing to accept help.

"Sister, we can't just watch her get kicked out by that cruel uncle and aunt in three days and have her sleep on the street."

Jiang Suining thought for a moment, "I don't know Wei Yao's plan right now. If I rashly help her, it might make her uncomfortable. After entering the palace tomorrow, I will try to test her attitude and find out what she plans to do. Then I will consider whether to help her or how to help her."

"Thank you, Sister!" Jiang Mushi said happily, "Sister, I knew that no matter if you are a competitor or not, you would not sit idly by."

"Okay, stop flattering me. I just agreed to give her a try. If she has a solution, don't interfere. As you said, from Wei Yao's perspective, she may not want others to see her in such a state of embarrassment."

"Okay, I'll remember that!" Jiang Mushi responded quickly.

On the second day, half an incense stick of time before the start of his duty, Jiang Suining saw Wei Yao walking in from outside.

There were dark circles under his eyes and his expression was tired, as if he had not had enough rest.

After entering the ceremonial hall, she hesitated for a moment and did not immediately go to her seat, but walked towards Jiang Suining.

"Miss Jiang, I'm really sorry. I told you yesterday that the handkerchief was lost, but when I went back yesterday, I found out that it was not lost, but was taken away by one of my elders. Now she refuses to return it, and I, I can't do anything about it."

Jiang Suining had already heard about the handkerchief from Jiang Mushi.

"That handkerchief is of a uniform pattern, I got it from the shop, and I didn't embroider any special marks on it, so it doesn't matter if it's lost or taken away by someone else. Miss Wei, don't worry about it."

Hearing Jiang Suining say this, Wei Yao felt a little relieved.

"Thank you Miss Jiang for your generosity. I will do as we said before. When I get my monthly salary, I will give you a new handkerchief."

"Okay." Jiang Suining nodded. Seeing Wei Yao turning around to leave, she asked, "Miss Wei, have you encountered any difficulties?"

Wei Yao was stunned for a moment, and looked at Jiang Suining in confusion, "Why do you ask that?"

"Nothing, I just saw that you looked tired, and just now you mentioned that the elders in your family refused to return the handkerchief, so I was a little worried about you."

Wei Yao's expression softened, "Thank you Miss Jiang, I..."

She hesitated for a moment and smiled, a rare smile.

"I did encounter some difficulties yesterday, but I thought it through last night and now I have a way to deal with it."

She really had no other choice but to seek refuge with her second uncle and aunt.

She also knew that they were not happy about her coming, but the situation forced her, so she thought about being patient and repaying them when she was able to leave.

But yesterday, Second Aunt mentioned his mother. She could bear the injustice, but she really couldn't bear to hear that kind of words, so she thought it through last night and decided to leave the restaurant.

As for paying back the money...

Wei Yao was distracted for a moment and subconsciously touched the bracelet on her left hand.

Jiang Suining looked at the situation and understood what was going on, but she did not continue to ask, she just said.

"It's good to have a way to deal with it. After all, you and I are colleagues. If you encounter any difficulties, you can always speak up."

Wei Yao looked at Jiang Suining and was startled for a moment when she saw her sincere expression, but she quickly regarded it as just a polite remark.

"Okay, thank you Miss Jiang."

After saying this, Wei Yao returned to her seat.

Yang Manman took a leave of absence today and did not show up.

Jiang Suining and Wei Yao are responsible for checking and organizing the previous banquet records.

Throughout the morning, Jiang Suining saw Wei Yao holding the bracelet in her hand in a daze several times.

Although I don't know the origin of the bracelet, I can guess from looking at it that it must be very important to her.

During the lunch break, Jiang Suining thought about it and decided to send someone to pass a message to Jiang Mushi.

The afternoon passed quickly, and Wei Yao no longer daydreamed frequently. When it was time to get off work, she left quickly again.

After leaving the palace, Wei Yao hurried back to the restaurant, but did not work. Instead, she changed out of her official uniform and went to the pawnshop to pawn the bracelet.

"Only eight taels of silver?" Wei Yao frowned and looked at the pawnshop clerk, "This is too little."
