"What? That means Lawyer Qin has been hired by the young master named Wang with a piece of silver?"
"That's right. Yuan He sent a messenger back with this news. Thinking about it this way, that domineering young master must have some brains."
Ji Ling drank tea calmly and did not seem to be too surprised by this.
"Mr. Ji, I see you have been drinking tea recently. Is it delicious?" Tang Wan'er asked curiously with her eyes wide open.
"Tea is a good thing for cultivating one's body and mind. This reminds me of my wife who passed away."
It was just a word that was said inadvertently. The separation between yin and yang was originally a very sad story. However, in the eyes of He Lianniang, who had just begun to fall in love, it was not a good feeling, but it was human nature after all.
It would be even less worthy of admiration if he was indifferent to his deceased wife and never mentioned it.
"Master Ji's wife... Master Ji and his wife have such a good relationship." Although she felt sour in her heart, He Lianniang was a lady after all, and she still understood her duties.
"I still remember the tea that Madam made back then. Madam would carefully help me clean my guqin. I suffered a lot of hardships with me, but I never had a good life. Alas, I owe her so much...
"
Having said this, Ji Ling's eyes dimmed, and his sad expression was touching.
"Brother Ji is really a person who values love and justice."
"Young Master is overly praised."
"Lian Niang also thinks Mr. Ji is a kind and righteous person. Dad, what do you think?"
Seeing He Yuanwai come in, He Lianniang walked over excitedly. She was indeed a pampered rich lady. He Yuanwai was very protective of his only daughter.
"Oh, what's the matter, Lian Niang, what are you talking about - I'm sorry, Xian-sin-law, Mr. Qi, Miss Tang, for keeping you waiting for so long."
"Mr. He is so polite. Has something changed?"
"He Shan has been to the Qin family. The Qin family said that Lawyer Qin has been hired. I just went to the county government office. The words of the county magistrate were quite meaningful..."
"If you put it like that, it would be quite disadvantageous if you really have to go to court without a lawyer." Ji Ling thought thoughtfully.
"Although Wan'er has participated in the debate competition and her results are not bad, she doesn't understand the laws here at all, and Wan'er can't help..."
Qi Ying put away her paper fan. Her light eyelashes were like a dream. The look in the man's eyes was difficult to guess. He just raised his head and said lightly: "If you don't mind, you can give it a try."
"What do you mean, Mr. Qi?" He Yuanwai was surprised.
"What I mean is that I still know a little bit about the laws of the Qing Kingdom, so I still have the ability to appoint a lawyer."
"Oh, I understand. Mr. Qi is a businessman. Businessmen have to deal with many people. Businessmen have to find ways to make money, and they also need to exploit loopholes in the law to evade taxes and so on. He is indeed eloquent. Hmm, it's very suitable.
"
Although Tang Wan'er's modern accent makes people speechless, the listener can barely understand it.
"That's it. It's up to the young master to worry about my daughter's affairs."
He Yuanwai bowed and said.
"I will do my best."
The summons from the county government came quickly, but it was not related to the case of He Yuanwai's surrender, but because the prince instead sued He Yuanwai.
When Tang Wan'er, dressed in men's clothing, followed He Yuanwai and the others to the county government office, she saw the prince sitting arrogantly in the hall with his servants. He Yuanwai, who had a great reputation, was so angry that he could not say a word.
