Early the next morning, Xia Jin was awakened by a rapid knock on the door.
"Master, get up quickly, something big has happened!" Siji shouted outside the door.
Xia Jin lifted the quilt, got up sleepily and opened the door.
"What's the matter?" She yawned with dark circles under her eyes.
"Something happened in the general's mansion! All the maids and servants in the mansion have gone over to watch the excitement. Let's go over and watch too!" Si Ji looked excited.
Xia Jin stretched, walked to the table and poured herself a glass of water.
Seeing that Xia Jin was not interested, Si Ji came over and said with shining eyes, "Mother Lin has been arrested!"
Xia Jin glanced at Siji and pretended to question: "Did she do something wrong when she was caught?"
Siji nodded heavily, "It turns out that Nanny Lin is Lord Lin's sister. She sneaked into the General's Mansion secretly and stayed by the old lady's side for many years. She was serving the old lady on the surface, but she actually wanted to poison the old lady. The reason why the old lady kept coughing was because of her.
Instigating the maid Bitao to secretly let people manipulate the old lady's food!"
"Right now, the old lady and the general are interrogating in the hall, let's go over and take a look!" Si Ji quickly put on Xia Jin's clothes, took her hand and ran towards the main courtyard.
Seeing Si Ji's excited expression, Xia Jin couldn't help laughing. It seemed that the old lady had discovered the note he left for her last time.
Oh, by the way, she also arrested Lin Chang on the way last night, tied up his Hex Technology Dajiang and threw it at the gate of the General's Mansion.
Now, the hall must be very lively!
As soon as they arrived at the main courtyard, they saw that the outside of the hall was crowded with maids and servants who came to watch the excitement. Si Ji and Xia Jin squeezed to the front and looked inside.
In the hall, Nanny Lin, the eldest maid Bitao, Lin Chang and Lin Heshou knelt in a row. Old Taijun and Lin Ziyi were sitting on the master's chair respectively. On the table in the middle was a bottle of ordinary-looking wine.
Hextech sauce.
Because they were too far apart, Xia Jin and the others couldn't hear what was said, but the old lady seemed very angry. Lin Ziyi had a dark face the whole time, and then he stood up with a slap on the table and gave an order.
Mu Gu led the soldiers in and escorted several people out. Along the way, Lin Chang and Nanny Lin screamed for help, looking as embarrassed as they could.
"Has the general dealt with them?" Siji asked the little eunuch beside him.
"They intend to murder the old lady. The general is very angry and wants to send them to Dali Temple. They will probably be exiled even if they die!" said the young eunuch.
"I don't know which hero did the good deed. He sent all the evidence and people. It's so satisfying. Thinking about it carefully, it's really scary. If it hadn't been discovered, wouldn't the old lady be in trouble?
" Another nanny said.
"Actually, I've long seen something wrong with Grandma Lin. It turns out she's really not a good person!" the maid analyzed.
People in the audience were talking a lot, and Xia Jin felt refreshed. It turned out that she was quite happy doing good deeds.
She walked in the direction of leaving the general's mansion, intending to go out and pay the balance of the house.
As soon as she arrived at the door, she ran into Lin Ziyi. Xia Jin reacted quickly enough and took a step back.
Lin Ziyi glanced at Xia Jin and then looked away and continued to talk to Mu Gu: "Yesterday's fire burned seven shops in a row. The arsonist must be found!"
Xia Jin's black line slipped away...
In the afternoon, Xia Jin paid off the remaining balance of the house purchase. All she needed to do next was to take the house purchase certificate and the homestead certificate she had just received to the Personnel Office to register.
"Master, get in the carriage!" Qin Haoou poked his head out of the carriage.
Did you hear it right? Chef Qin in Desheng Building calls him Master Xia Jin!
Not long after, when I arrived at the human resources office, a man with a mustache came to greet me.
"Chef Qin came to my human resources department, but what's the matter?" Master Xu asked.
"We are here to eliminate slavery." Qin Haoou looked at Xia Jin.
Mr. Xu followed his gaze and looked at Xia Jin. Today, Xia Jin did not dress up as a man. She wore plain clothes and no makeup. But even so, she was so beautiful that people couldn't help but take a second look.
Mr. Xu was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and asked, "Did the girl bring a contract of prostitution?"
"A contract of sale? Do you still need this thing?" Xia Jin was confused.
"Chef Qin, you are a young master from a famous family. You should know that slaves are those who have committed crimes in their lives or have guilty relatives or relatives. Therefore, I have no intention of changing my status in such an unclear way.
This right! Please go back and look for the deed of sale, and then come back!"
"We forgot to bring it, Sir Xu, please be accommodating!" Qin Hao'ou stuffed a wad of banknotes into his arms.
Mr. Xu quickly returned it, "Other things are easy to talk about, but this is the only thing that cannot be accommodated, and I don't have the right!"
"If you think of another way, I can give you as much money as you want!" Qin Hao'ou said.
"This is not a matter of money, it is a matter of rules from above!" Mr. Xu looked embarrassed.
Qin Hao'ou wanted to say something else, but Xia Jin took his hand and said, "Forget it, let's go."
"But!"
"Let's go!"
Xia Jin walked out, and Qin Haoou chased him to the door, looking ashamed.
"I originally wanted to help the master..."
"I didn't ask clearly. It seems I still have to find a solution from my financial sponsor..." Xia Jin murmured.
"If it doesn't work, just run away! Then I'll go to another place to get a fake ID for you." Qin Hao'ou suggested, he couldn't bear to let his master be wronged.
"You want to be wanted? And don't want your Desheng Building?" Xia Jin glared at him.
Qin Hao'ou's eyes were slightly red, "But I don't want the master to be wronged. How can the master be someone's concubine? If it doesn't work, I will marry the master!"
As soon as I finished speaking, there was a tap on the back of my head.
"Don't talk nonsense, I am your master!"
"What's wrong, Master? Yang Guo even married Xiao Longnu! Besides, I'm not a child now..." Qin Hao'ou muttered, not daring to speak loudly for fear of being slapped on the back of the head.
"I'll find a chance to talk to the general about the slave status! Just leave this matter alone!"
Three days later…
Xia Jin was sitting by the lotus pond, holding a plate of fish food in her hand. She sprinkled a handful of it from time to time, attracting the surrounding koi to come over and eat.
The water surface was churning, and red and yellow fish gathered together in flakes.
Lin Ziyi came out of the main courtyard and happened to see this scene when passing by the garden. Looking at the woman's profile, he was stunned.
In the past few days, he always unconsciously thought of Xia Jin's cooking competition in Desheng Building, her eyes illuminated by the fire, her arms with sleeves rolled up, her wet fingers when handling ingredients... and that one
The smile with crooked eyebrows...
She probably just wants to eat her cooking, that must be it!
"Listen to them, you've been looking for me these past few days?"
Hearing this voice, Xia Jin turned her head. When she saw Lin Ziyi, whom she had been looking for for three days, appeared, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"General, you are back!"
Lin Ziyi was very satisfied with the change in her eyes. He smiled at the corner of his mouth and thought to himself: Do you miss me?
He walked over, coughed slightly, and asked, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"I want to be released from slavery!" Xia Jin said straight to the point!
