Chapter 684: Once you send someone away, they won’t come back (38)
It is obvious that Mrs. Liang has begun to doubt Meng A Luo's identity.
However, although Mrs. Liang was secretly investigating, this did not hinder Meng A Luo's plan to make money from the Liang family.
In just half a month, Meng A Luo extorted a full three hundred taels of silver from Liang Huaixin on the pretext of "activities".
However, Mrs. Liang knew nothing about this.
The reason is that the source of the subsequent two hundred taels of silver was actually the proceeds from Liang Huaixin sneaking into the room under the pretext of "visiting" his sick grandmother, taking the valuable items inside and selling them at a pawnshop.
Meng A Luo naturally knew that the money came from illegal sources, but she only cared about whether she could get the money, and didn't care about anything else.
She had already set a clear goal for herself - to stop as soon as she earned three thousand taels of silver.
To date, the silver obtained is only a tiny fraction, so this matter still has a long way to go!
That day, Liang Huaixin finally couldn't hold back his inner anxiety and asked Meng A Luo: "A Luo, how is the situation today? Did the woman from the Xiao Mansion agree to speak well of me?"
After all, so much money has been spent, he has to pay attention to the progress of things. He can't just throw money into the water without hearing any sound.
Although Meng A Luo had not actually had any contact with the woman, she still managed to collect some basic information about her, so she had something to talk about with Liang Huaixin: "My dear, I'm afraid it's not easy to impress this woman!"
When Liang Huaixin heard this, he showed an anxious look on his face: "A Luo, how could that be! I think that female relative shouldn't be too difficult to get along with!"
Meng A Luo laughed secretly in his heart, but pretended to be embarrassed on the surface, "My dear, don't worry, just listen to me and tell you the identity of that woman, then you will know the reason."
"What do you mean?" Liang Huaixin believed that women "like this" generally came from humble backgrounds, just like Meng A Luo.
But now it seems that something is going on!
"That girl is a direct descendant of the Xu family in the capital, and her mother is also very unusual." When Meng A Luo said this, there was a hint of envy in his tone.
She is very favored, so naturally she has a very good vision. I have sent her many gifts recently, but she doesn't like them!"
At this point, Meng A Luo sighed helplessly: "To be honest, I haven't met her formally yet! This Miss Xu lives in seclusion and rarely leaves the Xiao Mansion."
"What should I do?" Liang Huaixin was immediately anxious after hearing this. "I have already spent three hundred taels. If there is still no effect, how should this matter end?"
Liang Huaixin is not afraid of his mother, but it is hard to say about his father. If he knew that he had spent so much money and still hadn't made any progress, he would definitely break his legs!
"Don't worry, I've already ordered a hairpin that every young lady likes now." Meng A Luo comforted Liang Huaixin, "I've already found out that Miss Xu will go to the theater to watch a play the day after tomorrow. I'll go into her room and say I've gone to the wrong place. I'll be able to strike up a conversation with her when the time comes."
Liang Huaixin nodded hurriedly: "That's a good idea, but how much silver does this hairpin cost?"
Meng A Luo rolled his eyes and said with embarrassment: "Just one hairpin doesn't cost much silver, but I ordered a set of twelve hairpins, so the price is..."
Liang Huaixin gritted his teeth and said, "As long as it can be accomplished, I will give it a try no matter how expensive it is."
Meng A Luo was secretly delighted, thinking that he could make some money from this silly boy again.
Then Liang Huaixin asked about the approximate price. After secretly calculating the silver he had in his hand, he found that there was very little silver left from the treasures he had stolen from Old Madam Liang.
But for the sake of his own future, he decided to do it again.
So that afternoon, Liang Huaixin planned to go "visit" Old Madam Liang again.
But he didn't expect to discover what was going on between his father and his grandmother's maid.
Liang Huaixin had already found what he was going to buy today - a jade ruyi of good quality.
But the maidservant was reluctant to leave his grandmother's room, so he became anxious. Later, when he had no other choice, he decided to leave.
The result is that after taking a few steps, I felt more and more unwilling to give up, so I wanted to go back and make amends - if that doesn't work, I could just scold the person.
Just as I reached the door of the room, I heard the sound of my father "talking" to the other person.
"Master! Didn't you say you would marry me?" the maid said coquettishly, "If you delay any longer, I won't be able to hide my pregnancy!"
