Chapter 166 I won’t pretend anymore. I’m going to be honest. I did it on purpose!
After Fang Mama finished speaking, Wang Ruoyu came.

next moment.

Everyone in the room's eyes were focused on Wang Ruofu.

Anyone with a discerning eye would know that Wang Ruoyu came to the Sheng family to look for Wang Ruofu.

When Wang Ruofu saw Sheng Hong looking at her, she felt weak in her heart due to her lack of confidence and forgot to reply for a moment.

Sheng Hong frowned slightly.

Sheng Hong has never been very fond of this cheap aunt, especially since she came so early in the morning.

And I just heard from Wang Ruofu that no one visited the house today.

Who would have thought that Wang Ruoyu would come so soon.

But Sheng Hong didn't find it strange.

After all, this is Wang Ruoyu.

No matter big or small matters, whether coming to the Sheng family or going back to the Wang family, he never sent a visiting card. He treated everyone at home as his own and could visit whenever he wanted.

With the idea of ​​out of sight, out of mind, Sheng Hong stood up slightly, turned to Wang Ruofu and said:

"Since your sister is here, you can go and entertain her. I'm going to go out and ask for leave."

Sheng Hong had originally planned to go to the Shangshu Province to ask for leave and then come back, but he didn't expect Wang Ruoyu to come now. He was thinking in his mind, should he wait until noon to come back?
After Sheng Hong left Shou'an Hall first, Wang Ruofu finally came to her senses, and all the thoughts that had been in her mind immediately came to her mind.

You are so good, Wang Ruoyu!

I haven't even had the chance to go to your house to question you, but now you come to my house first!
Thinking of this, Wang Ruofu immediately stood up with an angry look on his face and went straight to the front hall.

Hualan pretended to follow.

But Old Lady Sheng reached out and held him back.

"Just let your mother talk on her own. If she needs you to coordinate and plan everything, she will never make any progress in her life!"

The two little ones sitting at the small desk nearby were also confused by this sudden change.

It was not until Mrs. Sheng said, "Just continue to tutor them in their homework," that I woke up from my dream.

Today I am back to practicing calligraphy!

The front yard of Sheng Mansion.

In the hall.

Wang Ruoyu in the room was anxious at the moment, like an ant on a hot pot, pacing around the room with a handkerchief in his hands, muttering:

"What's going on? Why are all the people gone?"

It turned out that yesterday was the time when Wang Ruoyu checked his own accounts.

Due to the special reasons of the Kang family, Wang Ruoyu would conduct this kind of operation of checking the public and private property of the family about once a month, for fear that Kang Haifeng, this unruly man, would do something behind his back.

So, she started thinking about lending money at high interest rates.

Wang Ruoyu wanted to know how much money he had earned during this period, so he asked someone to call the manager who was specially assigned to manage the loan sharking money.

But this time, he only received the news that the manager was not at home.

Wang Ruoyu didn't care at first.

After all, for a job like lending money, it was common to be away from home most of the time. She considered herself a qualified manager, so she waited patiently until dark.

As a result, I waited and waited, but no one came back.

Only then did Wang Ruoyu realize that something seemed to be wrong.

However, she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart, so she sent someone to the manager's original farm and ask at his home, but found out that he was nowhere to be found.

Wang Ruoyu was panicked now.

There's no trace of the person, alive or dead, but his family and children are still there. He definitely didn't run away with the money. In all likelihood, something happened to him!

And he was in the shady business of loan sharking...

Wang Ruoyu is not afraid of other things.

After all, the loan sharking business was all done under the name of the Sheng family and had nothing to do with their family, but the person in charge was actually one of their own!

If something goes wrong, I will inevitably be implicated.

Thinking of this, Wang Ruo sent someone else to find those people who had lent money on her behalf.

Who would have thought that he would be the one who kept silent!

They all disappeared, just like all the loan sharks had evaporated from the face of the earth!
Wang Ruoyu stood in the Kang family's study. For a moment, he felt that in the dark corner behind the lamp, an invisible black hand was slowly covering him...

Realizing that things were out of control, Wang Ruo thought that the people he sent out to lend money might have inadvertently offended some powerful people. While secretly hating them, he also spent the night in worry.

That's why Wang Ruoyu appeared at Sheng's house early in the morning.

Otherwise, it would be so cold outside, Wang Ruoyu would have to be crazy to come so early.

Shearing wool also requires skill!

Half an hour passed.

Wang Ruofu just arrived.

As soon as he saw Wang Ruofu, Wang Ruofu immediately said:
"Sister, something terrible has happened!"

"The guys we sent out to lend money have offended someone and all of them have disappeared!"

Seeing Wang Ruoyu's sociable face, Wang Ruofu sneered in her heart.

Do you know it's urgent now?

You urged me to lend you money...

Eh?
Wang Ruofu suddenly had an idea.

At the beginning, I lent money to Wang Ruoyu to lend, and only charged a small amount of interest from it. Although it was in the name of the Sheng family, it should not be serious, right?
Wang Ruofu obviously still doesn't know the importance of this matter, and reputation is the most important thing!
But at this moment, Wang Ruofu felt confident and her tone became even more impolite.

"Sister, do you know the harm of officials' families lending money at high interest rates? That's why you instigated me to do it as well?" Wang Ruofu said first.

"what?"

Wang Ruoyu then understood why Wang Ruofu had a bad look on her face the moment she walked in. It turned out that her silly sister had been awakened and realized that something was wrong?
However, he had already warned Wang Ruofu not to tell anyone about the usury.

According to common sense, Wang Ruofu should have kept the idea of ​​"making a fortune in silence" in mind and not told anyone else.

How do you know that?
However, this thought only existed in Wang Ruoyu's mind for a moment before it was squeezed out.

"What time is it now? Do you still have time to argue with me?"

Wang Ruoyu looked at Wang Ruofu with an expression that "did not care about the overall situation" and said, "I am disappointed that he could not make me become a good person":

"If the usury business is discovered, neither you nor I will benefit!"

Wang Ruofu disagreed.

After all, she already knew that everything had been handled by the Yang family.

The so-called disappearance of those people must have been caused by the Yang family, so he naturally felt relieved.

Now, Wang Ruofu just wants to know whether her sister is deliberately trying to harm her?

Although she was already 99% suspicious, Wang Ruofu still wanted to verify it out with a glimmer of hope.

What if?
"Sister, do you know that lending money at high interest rates is a disaster for people like us?" Wang Ruofu stared at Wang Ruoyu and said word by word.

"what?"

Seeing that Wang Ruofu was unable to find the point and was focusing on these "details", Wang Ruoyu was already anxious all day and hadn't slept well all night, which made him irritable. Now he was even more irritable and couldn't help but blurt out:
"So what? Don't you already know everything? Why are you asking me now?"

Seeing Wang Ruofu's face suddenly darken, Wang Ruoyu felt angry. Why are they still fighting in this nest?

You boy are not worthy of being my advisor!

Wang Ruoyu now regretted lending money with Wang Ruofu. He thought Wang Ruofu was just a simple-minded person, but he turned out to be such a stubborn person.

But thinking about the consequences, Wang Ruoyu suppressed his anger and said with a forced smile:

"Sister, don't think about those things for now. The most important thing right now is to ask your son-in-law to let Wenyuan find out what is going on."

This is the reason why Wang Ruoyu came to Sheng’s house.

The mastermind who could suddenly cause so many people to disappear in Bian Jing was definitely not someone the Kang and Sheng families could afford to offend, so they could only turn to Wang Ruofu's son-in-law, Yang Wenyuan.

After all, your mother-in-law Wang Ruofu is deeply involved in this, so how can you, as her newlywed son-in-law, just stand by and watch?
After hearing Wang Ruoyu's answer, Wang Ruofu finally gave up completely.

I didn't expect this to be the case.

"You...you don't have any sisterly love for me?"

Wang Ruofu looked at Wang Ruoyu in disbelief and said:
"Knowing that there's a sea of ​​fire ahead, you still want to push your own sister in?"

Are you still interrupting?

Wang Ruoyu had been worried all day, and she was upset because she didn't sleep well. She thought that if she spoke to Wang Ruofu in a gentle manner, she would get her to focus on the real thing, but she was still so uncooperative.

As the saying goes, when you have the thought of criticizing someone, you suddenly feel the world is wide.

As soon as Wang Ruoyu said the truth just now, he got angry when he saw Wang Ruofu's foolish behavior of "ignoring the overall situation".

"My biological sister? Who has a sister like you?"

Wang Ruoyu now put aside his reservations and revealed his true colors:

"You are a wild girl who grew up in the countryside, and you dare to say that you are my sister, the daughter of the Wang family?"

As he spoke, Wang Ruoyu glanced at Wang Ruofu:
"You are rude, have no manners, have no strategy at all, and have been suppressed by a concubine for decades. How dare you call yourself the daughter of my Wang family?"

Wang Ruoyu's disdain was evident in his words, and Wang Ruofu couldn't hold back her inner grievance and burst into tears on the spot.

Fortunately, Mrs. Sheng had instructed Mama Fang to guard the surrounding area in advance, and together with Mama Liu, she cleared out all the maids in the house, so that this scene was not seen by outsiders.

"You really see me like this?"

Wang Ruofu had tears in her eyes and a look of disbelief on her face. She said in a sad voice:

"Sister, you have such a cruel heart!"

I didn't expect that although I held Wang Ruoyu in my heart, Wang Ruoyu not only stepped on me, but also treated me like a worn-out shoe.

"if not?"

Wang Ruoyu simply stopped pretending and said directly:

"How can I respect a country girl like you who has no looks and no moral character?"

Once these words were spoken, it was as if Wang Ruofu's fantasy was completely sentenced to death.

She could no longer hold back her sobs, and the sobs that she had just stopped began again, with tears as big as beans flowing down uncontrollably.

Seeing Wang Ruofu's silence and tears streaming down her face, Wang Ruoyu couldn't help but come back to his senses.

Now I feel a little regretful.

However, he did not regret having spoken so harshly to Wang Ruofu, but he was annoyed that he had spoken out what he had kept in his heart.

After today, wouldn't it be that Yang Wenyuan, the son-in-law of the Marquis's mansion, would gradually fade away before he even gets a chance to enjoy his fame?

But we’ll talk about the future later.

Wang Ruoyu just wanted to solve the current problem as soon as possible.

Although he thought so, Wang Ruoyu's expression relaxed a lot.

After waiting for a long time, until Wang Ruofu's sobbing gradually stopped, he began to speak.

"I think we should solve the current issues first and discuss other things later!" Wang Ruoyu snorted heavily, then sat at the top and said in a cold voice.

Wang Ruofu had also calmed down by then. She wiped the corners of her eyes vigorously with a handkerchief soaked in tears, and sat back down at the table on the other side.

"Humph!"

Wang Ruofu snorted in a hoarse voice:
"Sister, you may have forgotten that I only lent you money with interest. The person sent out is not from my Sheng family!"

Wang Ruofu thought about it for a moment and immediately thought of the reason why Wang Ruoyu was so anxious to rush home.

After all, the missing people were from the Kang family, not their own Sheng family.

After hearing what Wang Ruofu said, Wang Ruoyu was stunned.

I thought Wang Ruofu would say something like this, but who would have thought it would be just like this?

The person belongs to my family, but the reputation belongs to your Sheng family. Don’t you, Wang Ruofu, understand which one is more important?

But it didn’t matter if Wang Ruofu didn’t understand. Wang Ruoyu was always willing to help and explained:
"Sister, you may have forgotten that the Sheng family is the one that lends money at high interest. You agreed to it yourself, and you also got a share of the money. Even if those people report it to the government, they will only sue your Sheng family, not my Kang family."

“……???” Wang Ruofu’s mind was full of question marks.

Is that right?

No wonder the complaint Hualan filed with the government only mentioned the Sheng family, not the Kang family.

That’s what happened!
Wang Ruofu realized that the handle she thought she had was actually useless. She didn't want to lose face in front of Wang Ruo and her sister who had just broken up, so she just said coldly:

"Of course I know that."

"so!"

Wang Ruofu's trick of saving face naturally could not be hidden from Wang Ruoyu, but Wang Ruoyu only wanted to solve the problem now, not create new problems, so he also persuaded her:

"Why don't you and Wenyuan..."

"Don't yell Wenyuan!"

Wang Ruofu looked at Wang Ruoyu with contempt:
"You call me so affectionately, I would have thought you were my son-in-law!"

Wang Ruofu now saw Wang Ruoyu's true face and expression. He already treated her as a person like Lin Qinshuang. He didn't speak to her as affectionately as usual, but instead was full of sarcasm.

"It's natural."

Seeing Wang Ruofu's cold words, Wang Ruoyu's expression froze, but he still managed to say:
"Sister, I think my meaning is clear enough. What do you think?"

"Hmph! You don't have to worry about it."

Now that everything had been said, Wang Ruofu no longer held back and spoke frankly:
"Needless to say, Wenyuan already knows about this. Not only does Wenyuan know, but even the Yang family knows about it!"

"Do you know everything?"

Wang Ruoyu was stunned, and just as he felt a little happy, within a second, this little flame of happiness was extinguished by huge doubt and fear.

I, the person involved, only found out about this yesterday. How did the Yang family know about it?
Could it be...

At this time, Wang Ruofu glanced at Wang Ruoyu and said:

"Yes, it's just as you thought. The Yang family found out about the loan sharking, and the people were all caught by the Yang family. They also implicated Huaer."

Wang Ruoyu then felt disheartened.

Unexpectedly, this matter had just begun and it had already reached the ears of the Yang family.

"How do you know this?"

Wang Ruoyu was very puzzled and asked:
"This person who lends money for money is a poor family. How did he get connected with the Yang family?"

Could it be that the Yang family was also lending money privately, and there was a conflict between the two businesses? Wang Ruoyu wondered inexplicably.

So this is a case of "a flood flushing out the Dragon King Temple", with family members fighting against each other?
