Could it be that I have seen this ghost somewhere?
Hua Rujin looked at the sky suspiciously, but she couldn't see anything except the gray crescent moon looming in the sky.
"Rujin."
Cai Baiwei just saw the kitchen knife in her arms, and she didn't know how her daughter became so bold and dared to fight the ghost.
But thinking about what her family was going through right now, she could only sigh helplessly.
Hearing the call, Hua Rujin put away the kitchen knife and walked back into the house, closing the door gently.
Seeing this, Hua Muyang hurriedly picked up a small wooden basin from the dilapidated low stool on the side, limped to her side, looked up at her, his little eyes rolled: "Sister, wipe your face.
"
Looking at the tiny bits of clear water in the small wooden basin and the handkerchief that could not be contained by the water, Hua Rujin smiled bitterly and took the small wooden basin, feeling both pleased and saddened by Xiao Douding's understanding.
The whole family is like heartless jackals and tigers and leopards. They beat the sixth-room daughter-in-law into such indifference and only care about money and reputation. They are simply beasts.
It’s really hard for this three-year-old little Douding.
But the little water he got couldn't even wet a handkerchief, so there was no way he could clean someone's wound.
Hua Rujin had no choice but to go to the large tank outside the door to refill the water, then returned to the house to wet the towel and carefully wiped the bruises on Cai Baiwei's face and forehead.
"Big... Mom, please bear with me. I'll wipe the wound clean for you first. Dad and my little sister have been in the city to see a doctor for a while, and they should be back soon."
"It's just a flesh wound, nothing to worry about."
How could Cai Baiwei think about her own injury? She took the handkerchief with her backhand and gently wiped the blood on her forehead for her. Her eyes were full of anxiety: "Young Master Dou has been haunting you forever.
I'm afraid that Mr. Dou and his second brother will come to the house in person to ask for someone."
"I'm waiting for them to come."
The flowers are like brocade clouds and the breeze sings and smiles.
Cai Baiwei secretly glanced at the position of the knife hidden in her waist, and became even more worried: "Rujin, you can't act recklessly. Even if this matter goes to the government, the magistrate will probably not interfere, let alone the new magistrate.
You are still the young master of the Ye family who broke off the engagement with you. I am afraid that he is now eager for you to bury Sanlang of the Dou family."
"I think...he'll ask."
Hua Rujin smiled and pursed her lips easily.
If it is just a civil dispute, and the former county magistrate intervenes in the matter, then Mr. Ye will not want to intervene, and he may not even be able to get the petition into court.
But if it turns into a criminal case, even if the new county magistrate is resentful of the original owner, he still has to take the initiative to solve the matter because of his black gauze hat.
Thinking of this, Hua Rujin calmly took back the handkerchief and wiped Cai Baiwei's wound again, and told Xiao Douding beside her: "Muyang, you will stay in the house with my mother later and lock the door.
Tight, you are not allowed to go anywhere anymore.”
After these things, Hua Muyang became extremely scared.
Although he was only three years old, he knew in his heart that his grandmother and second wife wanted his sister to die.
He wanted to protect his sister but was unable to, so he had no choice but to cling to Hua Rujin's shoulder and sob softly.
Cai Baiwei looked sad and wiped away tears.
I was abandoned by my family and had to be rescued by Hua Junnian. I thought I had jumped out of the pit of fire, but I never thought I would fall into another prison again.
Now seeing her own flesh and blood about to make the same mistakes again, she felt unspeakably uncomfortable.
"Believe me, I will take you out of this home after I finish settling the matter with the Dou family."
Looking at the frightened mother and son, Hua Rujin stroked Hua Muyang's forehead and comforted them softly.
"Um."
Cai Baiwei forced a smile and nodded, but she already had a plan in mind.
He has two younger children, and his son has been teased and bullied by his second wife for being a cripple. Because the problem was brought about by his mother in the womb, the daughter, who is a twin of twins, is considered the nemesis of the family.
If this girl like Rujin really has a problem, she will take her son to die with her, so that the mother and son can still be taken care of when they get down there.
As for the little girl You En, she no longer has the intention to take care of her.
Seeing Mrs. Cai's relieved expression, Hua Rujin thought she had been comforted properly. After wiping her bruises, she hugged Hua Muyang and lay down next to her.
I don’t know how long it took, but just after I lulled Little Douding to sleep, there was movement outside the yard again.
There was fire and noise outside the paper window, and Hua Rujin guessed that the Dou family was coming.
"Brothers and sisters, come out quickly, my second brother is here to pick you up in person."
With a provocative call, the silent courtyard became lively again.
Hua Rujin heard the voice of the disciple, and couldn't help but feel secretly happy:
As expected, Erlang of the Dou family came in person.
Presumably, the Dou family and his son also expected that these things happened in the Hua family tonight, but it was difficult for some servants to come over and handle things properly.
This is just right, as it saves me the trouble of going to the tiger's den again.
Looking at Xiao Douding who was awakened, Hua Rujin reached out and patted his arm gently, and warned again: "Remember what sister just said."
Then the mother and son, with anxious faces on their faces, stood up calmly, walked out of the inner room, and closed the door tightly.
Looking up, Meng Yutang from the second room and Hua Shiyu, the second daughter, were already waiting in the yard.
"Please, cousin, the second young master will come to pick you up in person."
At this moment, Hua Shiyu's face seemed to have lost all fear, and he began to sneer at her with a sinister look.
"Rujin, it's not that your aunt is making things difficult for you. The Dou family has set an auspicious date and will send you to my uncle's cemetery after dawn. If you go down earlier, my uncle can rest in peace earlier."
Meng Yutang thought that she was not aware of his previous little move, and never mentioned that she asked her husband and son to go to the Dou family to deliver a message.
"Ahem, I also want to accompany my short-lived husband earlier, but I'm afraid someone won't let me go."
Hua Rujin walked past the mother and daughter with an indifferent expression. Both mother and daughter hurriedly backed away as if they were avoiding the god of plague, waiting for her to go far away before they dared to follow her on tiptoe.
The night was deep, but the Hua family's thatched cottage was now crowded with people. Five or six strong men and maids were guarding the door of the thatched cottage.
As soon as Hua Rujin's figure appeared outside the thatched cottage, a tall young man walked up first.
Hua Rujin recognized this person at a glance as Dou Yuancheng, the second son of the Dou family.
Dressed in white, Sheng Xue appears to have a gentle and elegant temperament. If you didn't know him well, you wouldn't have thought that this man was actually a sanctimonious beast in clothing.
The two looked at each other, and what Hua Rujin saw in his erratic eyes was full of pride, the arrogance and complacency of a hunter when playing with his prey.
Seeing that there was only a short distance between the two of them, Hua Rujin deliberately stumbled down, and when she was about to fall, a pair of hands grabbed her up.
The moment she was about to fall into his arms, Hua Rujin suddenly moved to the side with lotus steps as light as a swallow, and stood firm: "A person who is about to die does not dare to trouble my second brother."
Then he pretended to be sick and coughed: "Cough, cough, cough, I will go back home with my second brother."
Dou Yuancheng was so fascinated by her hard-to-get attitude that he wished he could immediately pounce on her and hug her.
But in front of so many people, he had to maintain the image of a handsome young man, so he had to pretend to be reserved and keep an appropriate distance from her. He only whispered in his mouth: "If my brother and sister had been like this, how could they have suffered so many grievances?
I have long said that you cannot escape from my grasp."
Hearing this, Hua Rujin just smiled faintly.
Before his smile faded, a gust of breeze suddenly blew into the thatched cottage, and a strange smell slowly followed the wind.
Hua Rujin followed the smell and sniffed the air carefully, and found that the fragrance was emanating from Dou Yuancheng's clothes.
The familiar smell is exactly the same as the scent of rosemary that I smelled in the yard before:
Could it be that the ghost I am looking for is right in front of me?
