Hua Rujin carefully picked up the hair on the bed and straightened it for comparison. It was half as long as her and Cai Baiwei's long hair.
Cai Baiwei was confused for a while: "Whose hair grows so long?"
Hua Youen used her mouth to chew the candied haws that she had not finished yesterday. She looked at the long hair in her sister's hand and said with a frown: "Could it be that this family had little hooves before?"
"What little hoof?"
Cai Baiwei looked puzzled.
Hua Rujin covered her mouth and chuckled, but Hua Youen kept giggling.
But thinking about the middle-aged man yesterday, he must have some wealth, so it is not impossible to have a lovely outdoor room in the house.
There are so many rooms, so why would someone live in the west wing in the corner? It's a bit unreasonable.
Just as he was concentrating on the hair in his hand thoughtfully, he saw Hua Junnian running in in panic.
"What happened to make my husband so anxious?"
Cai Baiwei looked at his expression and asked quickly.
"Ye... Mr. Ye found this place."
Hua Junnian looked at the mother and daughter with a sad face and hesitated: "He... said he came to look for Rujin."
"Looking for me?"
Hua Rujin also looked stunned.
"He didn't come here intentionally to cause trouble for Rujin, right?"
Cai Baiwei was very anxious and became extremely worried.
Hua Junnian also murmured in his heart, frowning: "Logically speaking, the number one scholar in Chengdu High School should stay in the Hanlin Academy in Beijing, but he was willing to go abroad and returned to Jiangling City, fearing that he wanted to take revenge on purpose.
Our family, in order to relieve the hatred in my mother’s heart when she broke up with his family.”
"What should I do?"
Cai Baiwei was so panicked that she got rid of her mother-in-law and her second wife's family. The Ye family came to the door again, and that person was even more unoffended.
"Father and mother, don't be nervous, I'll go out and take a look first."
Hua Rujin thought about her meeting with Ye Chengguan yesterday. If this person really wanted to take revenge, why would he go through so many troubles? All he had to do was maintain the case decided by Liu Cheng and let the Dou family take her back.
Could it be that he wanted to keep himself to be tortured slowly?
Thinking of this, Hua Rujin's heart suddenly pounded, she pretended to be calm and smiled at the couple, and walked out of the house lightly.
Hua Youen had an idea and ran ahead of her towards the outer courtyard.
When they arrived in the courtyard, the handymen hired by the Shu family had all sent Hua Junnian away. There was only a straight jade-white figure in front of the stone table in the courtyard, and a man holding a package and sweating.
Book boy.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, are you here to find my sister?"
Just as Hua Rujin was about to step forward, she saw Hua Youen holding the candied haws and rushing towards Ye Chenghui who was sitting on the stone bench.
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
In the year of Hua Jun, Cai Baiwei took half of Hua Muyang's face and hid it by the door of the living room, her face turned pale.
Ye Chengguan hesitated and glanced at Xiao Douding who rushed forward, then looked up at Ting An in embarrassment.
Ting'an had no choice but to put down the package, bend down and whisper in his ear: "This must be the second young lady from the sixth room."
Ye Chengguan then smiled warmly at the enthusiastic Xiaodou Ding: "I... am not your brother-in-law. The second lady recognized the wrong person."
Hua Rujin quickly stepped forward to stop Hua Youen who was about to continue speaking, glared at her and said: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and find your father and mother."
Hua Junnian also shouted at the door: "You En, come here quickly."
Hua Youen looked at everyone, curled her lips and walked back with a groan: "If the second aunt hadn't interfered, the eldest brother would have been my brother-in-law."
"Children are talking nonsense, please ask the county magistrate to stop."
Hua Rujin stood up to block Ye Chengwei's view of Hua Youen, and smiled at him.
"It doesn't matter."
Ye Chengguan opened the package on the stone table and said nonchalantly: "Yesterday, Miss Menghua showed her humility and was fortunate enough to get this complete set of "Law of the Great Industry" first. Today, I received a gift from a friend, so I will give this extra set."
Giving the classics to Miss is a way of repaying yesterday's favor."
"Sent to me?"
Hua Rujin was even more surprised:
Why don't I believe it?
It's more than a hundred taels of silver, so you can give me such an expensive hand-written classic, and it's a complete set.
Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.
What's more, I didn't really want to be humble yesterday.
"Um."
Ye Chengguan just nodded lightly and changed the subject calmly: "I'm quite curious, how come Miss Hua wants to study the law?"
"Just passing the time with nothing to do."
Hua Rujin sat down slowly and casually said, "Just read it as a script."
After all, women belong to a vulnerable group these days. As a little-known widow, I can't brazenly tell him that I want to be the number one litigator in Jiangling City.
"Do you use the classics on legal studies as scripts?"
Ye Chengguan was confused when he heard this. He had never seen anyone with such novel interests.
He said with a stiff smile on his handsome face: "The way Miss Hua spends her time is quite unique and different from ordinary people. She doesn't... want to understand the law and painstakingly study outside the law to seek some shameful thing.
A deal, right?"
"How could that happen? The magistrate is worrying too much."
Almost seeing through his mind, Hua Rujin's eyes darkened and she quickly changed the subject: "Does the magistrate really want to give me this set of classics?"
Ye Chengguan nodded slowly again.
"Free gift?"
Hua Rujin looked at his malicious eyes in disbelief.
"Of course, if Miss Hua feels she deserves it, she might as well accompany me to Dou's house tonight."
Seeing her expression tightening, Ye Chengguan stopped beating around the bush and said bluntly: "To be honest, there was a murder in the Dou family last night."
Only then did Hua Rujin suddenly realize.
No wonder he was so polite and gave such a valuable classic. He must have felt bad that the case had been changed and the case was bothering him again.
"Can I help you?"
"you?"
Ye Cheng's eyebrows froze.
"Of course, this incident was originally caused by me. Logically speaking, I should indeed put more effort into it."
Hua Rujin smiled evilly at him: "Maybe the blind cat encountered a dead mouse, and I was able to figure out the reason for the magistrate in a daze."
After all, it is rare for him to be able to hear this case fairly, and I am willing to help him get to the bottom of this case from the bottom of my heart.
Lest he be implicated in this matter and be dismissed from his post, it is difficult to predict what kind of character the next county magistrate will have in the future.
"I don't have a clue about this case yet, but I have a vague feeling that it's not simple behind the scenes."
Ye Chengguan thought about the other cases he was investigating recently, and replied thoughtfully: "Maybe we can find some clues by going to Dou's house tonight."
Thinking of what Gu Langxi mentioned, he couldn't hide it. He had to make people mentally prepared and asked meaningfully: "Miss Hua, do you think the dead can talk?"
"Maybe... yes."
Hua Rujin’s eyes were indifferent.
I'm not talking to him right now.
Ye Chengguan nodded knowingly: "That's very good. Miss Hua can go there with confidence tonight, I will definitely protect you."
After finishing speaking, he looked at her steadily and assured her word for word: "I'm here...you're here."
Listening to these words, Hua Rujin suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of security in her heart.
It seems that it is no longer a one-person battle.
Outside the door, Shu Jinxuan led the groom back from the outside. From a distance, he saw a large number of classics spread out on the stone table. There were dozens of them. The brown package was particularly familiar.
He glanced at the package that was the same color as the stone table in the arms of the groom behind him, his face darkened, and he quickly ordered softly: "Put the things back on the carriage."
Then, he walked slowly and calmly into the courtyard.
