Chapter 122 Figure it out
Tang Wanru suddenly felt her eyes moist.
She was so confused in her previous life that she didn't even realize that there were so many people in this world who loved her.
After having dinner with Old Lady Yu in Yushou Hall, Tang Wanru just came out and felt a hand gently holding her wrist.
It was getting dark and the yard was filled with the faint scent of flowers.
A hint of surprise flashed across Tang Wanru's pupils. She looked up and saw that the person who was holding her was Bai Yanli.
Without saying anything, he grabbed her slender, pale wrist and walked out.
"What happened?" Tang Wanru asked.
"Follow me." Bai Yanli said softly without haste, and took her straight out of the gate of the general's mansion.
The carriage was already waiting at the door. After the two got in, Bai Yanli told the driver to move forward. As the carriage was bumpy, Bai Yanli couldn't help but look at Tang Wanru's pretty face.
Thinking back to her new clothes, she looked so beautiful in them, and her temperament made them look extraordinarily elegant. She was really beautiful, and her clothes were beautiful, and they touched his heart.
"Master Bai brought me to the carriage just to see me?" Tang Wanru chuckled. The fluffy white collar around her neck made her smile clear and charming. "Why, didn't Master Bai see enough at the general's mansion just now?"
It turns out she saw everything just now.
Bai Yanli couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and talked about business: "The man named Wang Hua is the shopkeeper of your mother's shop."
"Last time he followed the orders of your half-sister Tang Yue'er and wanted you to fall and get hurt."
"Yeah." Tang Wanru knew all this, so she nodded calmly without any surprise.
"You knew this long ago?" Bai Yanli asked deliberately, "You're not surprised at all? So Miss Tang was actually taking advantage of the situation last time and using me to keep an eye on Wang Hua?"
He was right.
Tang Wanru did have some thoughts on this matter.
Last time before the polo match, the person Tang Wanru sent to follow Wang Hua told her that Wang Hua and Tang Yue'er had met, and that Wang Hua was going to attack her at the polo match and make her fall off the horse and become disabled.
So she took advantage of the situation and let Bai Yanli target Wang Hua.
Tang Wanru replied: "Didn't you already know that I was using you to keep an eye on Wang Hua? Didn't you keep an eye on him too?"
Bai Yanli: ...This girl has him under her thumb.
"Besides, I am not taking advantage of him. It is Wang Hua who is in charge of my mother's business. The Bai family knows more about business and is more aware of the inside story. If Wang Hua makes any moves, they can find out in advance. So I asked Mr. Bai to help."
Tang Wanru said, "Besides, didn't I pay you that day?"
"reward?"
Tang Wanru pouted her lips and blinked at him with sparkling eyes.
Bai Yanli understood instantly: this woman... kissed him that day just for this.
She is such a cunning little fox, she won't suffer any loss.
Tang Wanru asked with sparkling eyes: "Did you find anything?"
"Yes." Bai Yanli continued, "Last night a man named Liu Duo went to find Wang Hua and asked Wang Hua to take a large sum of money from the shop. He said that Aunt Liu from the Tang Mansion wanted to prepare some dowry for her daughter Tang Yue'er who was about to get married."
Sure enough!
Tang Wanru couldn't help but sneer.
It seems that Liu's open attempt to take Tang Jiang there during the day was going to get no results, but now she's trying to do something sneaky.
"Wang Hua said that a batch of very valuable items just happened to arrive at your mother's shop, and he planned to sell them to give the money to Aunt Liu. He claimed to the public that these items were stolen by the recent disaster victims who came to Beijing after entering the capital."
"Beijing has been hit hard by floods recently, and the number of disaster victims coming to Beijing is indeed increasing." Tang Wanru said. If Wang Hua said that, it would be difficult to find the items back, and given her mother's temperament, she would not punish Wang Hua. It was a win-win situation.
"Well, so let's use the opponent's trick today." Bai Yanli fixed his eyes on Tang Wanru.
She instantly understood what he meant: "You mean, we send people to really rob those things? Let him lose both his money and the goods?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Wang Hua's voice from outside: "Someone is coming to rob us."
Tang Wanru lifted the curtain and looked out. She saw a group of masked men in black clothes snatching things from a cart at the entrance of a dark alley in front of the carriage. Wang Hua's men were beaten to the ground and couldn't even get up. The masked Sui Qi saw Wang Hua shouting, pulled him back, and knocked him unconscious.
Tang Wanru felt very happy when she saw this. This guy even wanted to covet her mother's things.
court death.
She just turned around contentedly, but she felt her nose touching something. She looked carefully and found it was Bai Yanli's nose...
Her heart skipped a beat.
Bai Yanli saw a hint of pink appear on her face.
He smiled smugly: "Wanru, by this calculation, is the reward for your kiss not enough?"

Tang Mansion.
"What kind of clothes do I have?" Tang Yue'er held up some new clothes that Liu brought her, with a look of disdain on her face. "I clearly saw Tang Wanru got a lot of very luxurious and gorgeous new clothes this afternoon. Why do I have to wear these?"
Liu was speechless and took the clothes back from Tang Yue'er. She had carefully selected them, but she still disliked them.
"This is the best shop I could find in the capital." Liu frowned. "Tang Wanru's clothes were custom-made by a shop used by the general's mansion. That shop is not open to the public, so it's impossible for them to make clothes for you. You just have to make do with what you have."
"It's like this again!" Tang Yue'er sneered. Since she was a child, people have always told her to make do with it. Why is it that only she can make do with it, and why can't Tang Wanru make do with it? Tang Yue'er was very angry and threw her clothes on the ground, "Make do with it, make do with it, always let me make do with it, why is Tang Wanru always good, and I can only make do with it."
Liu was speechless. She felt that Tang Yue'er's temper had been getting worse recently. "Yu'er, these are just trivial matters. Don't get angry about them. Yesterday, mother asked your uncle to find Wang Hua. Soon, Wang Hua will get some money from Lin Yunrou's shop, and then you will have your dowry."
After hearing this, Tang Yueer's eyes lit up and asked, "Doesn't Lin know?"
"I don't know." Liu said, "How could she know that the money passed through Wang Hua's hands and ended up in your hands without anyone noticing?" Wasn't she clearly not going to give it to you? She had a way to make her give it to you!
"Mother has told you before that even if your father doesn't pay for your dowry, someone else will."
Hearing this, Tang Yueer felt much better: "Thank you, mother. You are so awesome."
Liu also laughed when she was praised.
At this moment, a servant ran in. Seeing that no one was around, he said anxiously, "Auntie, something happened!"
