Hua Rujin found an unused bed quilt in the house and led Cheng Nini to decorate the west wing room. When she went to the main hall to get water to wash up, she heard a noise from outside the courtyard.
She hissed at Cheng Nini and motioned for her to hide in the west wing first.
Hearing the sound outside, Cheng Nini ran away with light movements.
After the little girl disappeared completely, Hua Rujin walked calmly outside the hospital.
"Sister, sister, are you back?"
Hua Youen shouted anxiously outside the door.
Hearing that it was Xiao Douding talking, Hua Rujin went to open the door with relief.
The moment the courtyard door opened, he saw three pairs of eyes staring closely at him.
Hua Rujin looked stern: Could it be that they have noticed something?
After several people looked at each other in silence for a moment, Ting An spoke first: "Miss Hua, your second young lady said she wanted to go home. My son and I happened to come out of the county government office, so we sent the second young lady over."
"I have troubled both of you today."
Hua Rujin pulled Xiao Douding to her side and looked at Ye Chengwei: "Thank you, Mr. Ye."
"You're welcome."
Ye Chengguan answered nonchalantly, his almond-shaped eyes flickering but he had already carefully searched the yard calmly.
"Master Ye, what are you looking for?"
Hua Rujin asked as if nothing happened.
"Oh, no."
A slight smile appeared on the corners of Ye Chengwei's cherry blossom-like lips: "Miss Hua, have you finished everything?"
"It's all done."
Hua Rujin nodded repeatedly: "I just came back not long ago, so I was afraid of disturbing Mr. Ye, so I thought of picking up my roommate tomorrow."
"I see."
Ye Chengguan chuckled: "Will everything go well?"
“It’s pretty smooth.”
Hua Rujin smiled bitterly: She was almost swallowed by a python.
"That's good."
Ye Chengguan's thoughts suddenly changed: "Is there any special research on the set of classics and dialogue books that the county gave to Miss Hua a few days ago?"
"I can barely understand it. I just finished reading "Household Marriage"."
Hua Rujin replied unhurriedly.
"It is indeed very beneficial for women in the boudoir to understand "Household Marriage", so as to avoid many detours in the future."
Ye Chenggui frowned slightly: "Recently, this county has been studying the "Laws of Fighting Litigation" in the Daye Laws, and there is a case mentioned in it. It is said that a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law just had a quarrel at home, but they were dismissed.
The good lawyer induced the matter to go to court. As a result, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law each fought twenty battles before the defense could begin. No one was left behind. On the contrary, the lawyer made a lot of money by writing the complaint on his behalf."
At this point, he looked at Hua Rujin with deep meaning in his eyes: "Instigating lawsuits has always been taboo in the government. If Miss Hua knows more about legal knowledge, she will also know what can and cannot be brought to court in the future.
, this way you can save a lot of losses.”
Hua Rujin felt puzzled as she listened.
What did he mean by saying this for no reason?
Could it be that he was aware of his true intention of studying the laws of the Great Cause, so he was so arrogant and said something about it to beat himself up?
Although great causes have led to widespread litigation, those in office are most bothered by those unscrupulous litigants who confuse right and wrong all day long and deliberately instigate people to litigate.
Thinking of this, Hua Rujin's face turned red and her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly agreed: "As the county magistrate said, after the incident involving the Dou family, the daughter was worried that she would suffer the consequences of being dumb in the future, so she wanted to know more about the criminal law.
This will also prevent you from getting into trouble with others in the future.”
"Speaking of the Dou family matter, I came here today from this county. I also wanted to talk to Miss Hua about the results. Dou Yue and Huang Laodao's gang have been sentenced to prison terms. Autumn is about to come. I want to get the review results from various departments.
The news will arrive in the county soon, and then Miss Hua can go to watch the execution."
Ye Chengguan's eyes paused for a moment, then he deliberately emphasized his tone: "And Mr. Gu Langxi is also a well-known figure in Jiangling City. In recent years, he has instigated lawsuits, confused right and wrong, and changed people's lives against fate. It can be said that he has done everything possible.
, this time the prefecture and county government tried him to a ten-year sentence. Before serving his sentence, he will be paraded through the streets of Jiangling City for three days. I think Miss Hua may be interested in this excitement, so she might as well go over and take a look."
"Since the magistrate has invited you, the daughter of the people will definitely go."
Hua Rujin replied with a calm expression.
I immediately understood that he was killing the chicken to show the monkey.
"This way the county will not be disturbed."
Ye Chengguan said goodbye to her, looked at the situation in the courtyard with a deep look, and then slowly and generously led Ting An away.
Watching the carriage of the master and servant disappear into the night, Hua Rujin slowly closed the courtyard door and led Hua Youen to sit beside the stone table in the courtyard.
At the moment, even she herself doesn't know what exactly is going on between Cheng Nini's mother and daughter and the government, so she can't tell Ye Chengguan the real story yet.
Afraid that Hua Youen would run into the house and bump into the little girl, Hua Rujin pulled her onto her knees and sat down. First she asked softly: "Youen, did you talk to the magistrate at the county office?"
What should I say?"
"That's a secret between me and my sister. I didn't tell him anything."
Hua Youen yawned, looked up at the sky with a troubled expression, and said something out of thin air in a cold voice: "Sister, how many suns do you think there are in the sky?"
"one."
Hua Rujin replied absently.
"How many moons are there?"
Little Douding continued to stare at the bright sky in a daze.
Hua Rujin nodded: "There is only one."
Little Douding asked curiously: "How many stars are there?"
Hua Rujin thought for a while: "There are about 100 million. If you don't believe me, just count."
"One, two, three."
Not long after, a light purring sound came from Hua Rujin’s arms.
She quietly picked up Little Douding and returned to the east wing. After settling her down, she closed the door, found the lock and went straight to the west wing.
After searching around the room with an oil lamp, I found Cheng Nini hiding in the corner behind the door and curling up.
"Come out, my sister is asleep."
Hua Rujin called softly and saw that the little girl was dirty, so she took her to the kitchen to take a bath and then found some clean clothes for her.
Returning to the west wing of the inner room, the two of them sat quietly on the edge of the bed. Hua Rujin looked at her for a long time before hesitantly said:
"I can't guarantee that I will be able to help you with your matter. If you are willing to trust me, I can think of a solution for you."
Cheng Nini's eyes were dull and she remained silent without speaking.
Hua Rujin knew that she still had concerns, and she had just lost a loved one, so it was inconvenient to continue asking, so she said instead: "Then you should have a good rest. Don't be afraid. As long as you stay in this room honestly, you won't be afraid."
Someone found you."
"Um."
Cheng Nini responded softly.
Hua Rujin then got up and went out, locked the door, returned to the east wing and lay down.
The door to the tunnel is still there, so if there is an emergency, it is not too late to send the girl back to the tunnel and hide her.
Moreover, Hua Junnian, Cai Baiwei and his wife have always been warm-hearted. Even if they were to find out about Cheng Nini's existence, they would not go out to seek justice.
Thinking of this, she hugged the sleeping little Douding and closed her eyes peacefully.
