The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 423 Wei Yao is troubled

Jiang Suining sat in the carriage, watching Yang Manman running past the carriage, and the smile on his face faded away.

It was beyond her expectation that Yang Manman would directly snatch Wang's jewelry.

Looking at the chaos at the gate of the mansion, and seeing Wang covering her ears and crying out in pain, Jiang Suining lowered the curtain and said to Xier, "Let's go."

The excitement has been enough for now. Since the officials from the Ministry of Personnel were mentioned during the house search, it means that Pei Zhaozhi has succeeded.

We should be able to reach a rough conclusion about Liu Sheng's death.

The carriage turned around and left. Jiang Suining lifted the curtain one last time and took another look at the carriage parked opposite.

The carriage was still parked there quietly.

But at this moment, Yang Huihui in the carriage was tightly clutching the curtain of the carriage. Yang's screams could still be faintly heard in the carriage. She hesitated in her heart, but in the end, she did not choose to get off the carriage at this time.

On the other side, Yang Manman ran across two long streets in one breath. When she was sure that no one was chasing her, she fled into an alley and leaned against the bed, gasping for breath.

When her crazy heartbeat calmed down a little, she spread out her hands and looked at the pearl hairpin and earrings she had just snatched.

The hairpin with gilded ruby ​​and the ruby ​​earrings of the same color are not cheap. If they are sold, it should be able to support her for a while.

Yang Manman breathed a sigh of relief.

But after she had temporarily recovered from the panic of sleeping on the streets, she began to feel scared again, worrying that her actions today would be criticized if they were spread out.

Of course, she would soon realize that her worries were not unnecessary.

Because in the next few days, the most heatedly discussed issue was the incident in which Yang Manman snatched Wang's jewelry and finally tore her mother's ear during the seizure of the Duke's Mansion.

Almost everyone in the imperial city was talking about it.

So what if someone laughs at the wealthy and powerful family? When disaster strikes, everyone will look after themselves. Even the relationship between mother and daughter is nothing compared to those pieces of jewelry. They will just be thrown on the ground and crushed to pieces.

Some people were also angry, thinking that no matter what, as a woman, Yang Manman should not do such a cruel thing.

Some people are worried about this and take precautions, paying more attention to the education of their children.

However, these are later stories.

At this moment, Yang Manman looked at the earrings still stained with blood, gritted her teeth, and drove all the worries out of her heart.

Even if someone stabbed her in the back, it wouldn't matter. It was not the first time she had faced those rumors. It was better than sleeping on the streets!

Besides, it was her own mother who tried to arrest her first. The other party didn't care about the mother-daughter relationship. Why should she care?

Once again pushing all the blame onto others, Yang Manman clenched the pearl hairpin and earrings in her hands, walked out of the alley and headed towards the pawnshop.

Not long after walking, they passed by the teahouse where Wei Yao was.

But at this moment, Yang Manman was so focused on pawning the thing as soon as possible and then finding a place to stay and have a good rest that she did not notice Wei Yao who was helping with odd jobs in the restaurant.

Wei Yao had just finished cleaning the table and took a breath when she turned around and saw the restaurant proprietress.

The other person had a cold face and was staring at Wei Yao.

"Second Aunt." Wei Yao called out, and then looked around to make sure that all the used tables had been cleared. Then she whispered, "It's already cleared, Second Aunt. If there's nothing else, I'll go back to my room and rest..."

"Who said there's nothing to worry about?" Wei Yao's second aunt Zhang raised her eyebrows and walked up to Wei Yao with a gloomy face. "The business in the restaurant has been very bad these days, especially the individual customers on this floor. There are almost no people. Don't you know how to go to the door to solicit some business?"

Wei Yao lowered her head slightly, "Second Aunt, as agreed before, I only need to help with cleaning and laundry. If I'm too busy, I can just help serve the dishes occasionally."

Zhang looked at Wei Yao, she was so angry, "It was before, it was before. You are so old, don't you have any sense? Or do you really think it is so easy to eat and live for free, just wipe the table every day and your food and accommodation money will be returned?"

Wei Yao frowned, "Second Uncle..."

"Don't talk about your second uncle. When your family was rich, we didn't get any benefits. Now that we are defeated, we still have to stay here and eat for free."

Zhang's words became more and more outrageous, and her sharp tone attracted Wei Tongfu who was behind her.

"What are you arguing about? Can't you just talk it out calmly? There are still guests in the restaurant."

Wei Tongfu spoke unhappily, and then glanced at Wei Yao indifferently, "Your Second Aunt is your elder, just listen to what she says, and don't cause trouble for me."

After hearing her husband's words, Zhang's expression became even more harsh.

"No, I don't deserve it. She is now an eighth-rank female official. How dare I ask her to listen to me?"

Upstairs, Jiang Mushi, who was drinking tea and talking with his friends, heard the words "eighth-rank female official" and walked to the edge of the corridor and looked down curiously.

When he saw Wei Yao, he was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to speak, he noticed the coarse cloth clothes on Wei Yao and the aggressive Zhang opposite her, he frowned and swallowed the words of greeting.

Wei Tongfu listened to his wife's words and said contemptuously: "What kind of eighth-rank female official is that? It's not worthy of respect in this imperial city. My good brother was a high-ranking official before, but what happened later? He was still in a state of disgrace. Wei Yao, I think you are stubborn. You have no power and influence, but you still want to be a female official. While you are still young, find a rich family to marry. This is the right way."

"Master, please stop joking. Look at her dead face. Who would be willing to marry her with such a look? In my opinion, she won't be a female official for long. Her fate is just to do odd jobs." Zhang's mocking words were very harsh.

Wei Yao bit her lip, trying hard to resist the urge to retort.

"I'll go to the kitchen to see if there's anything I can help with."

As he spoke, he picked up the basin and rag for wiping the table and walked towards the kitchen.

"I haven't finished my sentence yet. Why are you leaving? This is how you talk to your elders!" Zhang pushed Wei Yao in dissatisfaction.

Wei Yao lost her balance and dropped the basin to the ground, splashing dirty water onto Zhang's body. She screamed immediately.

"You bitch, you did it on purpose!"

Wei Yao was also splashed with a lot of dirty water, but she didn't bother to clean it up and immediately explained: "I didn't mean to, Second Aunt, it was you who pushed..."

"Stop quibbling here. I provided you with food and drink, and you've even made me angry!" Zhang pulled out a handkerchief and wiped the water splashed on the back of her hand with disgust, glaring at Wei Yao viciously.

Wei Yao was about to continue speaking, but was suddenly stunned when she saw the handkerchief in Zhang's hand.
