Returning to the house, looking at Shu Jinxuan who looked calm, and recalling the scene in the alley, Hua Rujin couldn't help but asked with concern: "Is cousin okay?"
"I'm fine."
The elegant cousin waved his hand carelessly: "Your cousin, I have a very strong body and can withstand a beating."
After finishing his words, he calmly twisted his sore arms.
"Thanks to Jin Xuan just now."
Cai Baiwei sighed with lingering fear and looked up at the sky. It was already late. She was about to let her nephew in to rest, but Hua Rujin spoke first: "Since my cousin is fine, I'm relieved. My cousin will go back early."
Let me save my grandmother from worrying about you."
After all, those people were here for him, and now that they were close to the inner city, no one would make things difficult for him.
Shu Jinxuan's eyes paused slightly as he listened.
Now that his uncle is away and something like this happened at home, he felt a little worried and left.
But seeing the decisive look in his cousin's eyes, he had no choice but to nod with a forced smile: "Okay, cousin, please help my aunt go back and have a rest."
"good."
Hua Rujin smiled slightly and looked at the anxious Cai Baiwei and the two little Dou Ding: "You En, Mu Yang, you and Aniang go back to the house first, and I will see my cousin off."
"Sister, please come back early."
Hua Youen pursed her plump little mouth, feeling a little unhappy with her sister's current indifference.
Although she liked her brother-in-law from the county government better from the bottom of her heart, her cousin was the best to them in the entire Hua family, and she didn't want her cousin to be sad.
If she had a choice, she would want both brothers-in-law.
"Let's go."
Cai Baiwei hugged Hua Muyang and pushed Hua Youen into the living room first.
The oil lamp in the main room gradually became brighter. Through the dim light reflected in the courtyard, Shu Jinxuan quietly looked at Hua Rujin's calm and calm face, and said with some self-blame: "If I had known this, I shouldn't have rented it in the first place.
This house.”
"It doesn't matter."
Hua Rujin looked around: "I think this place is pretty good."
Some things have their own destiny, and she will always encounter what she is supposed to encounter, and she cannot avoid it even if she wants to.
Moreover, since she has chosen to be a litigator, she has already been mentally prepared for this kind of thing.
The two of them walked out in silence. When they arrived at the carriage, Shu Jinxuan looked back in the direction of the courtyard door and warned softly: "Okay, please go back quickly."
"Well, cousin, be careful."
Hua Rujin watched him get on the carriage and gradually disappear into the night, then turned back to the yard and closed the door.
Shu Jinxuan sat in the carriage uneasily and walked a certain distance, but then asked the coachman to turn around and turn back.
Looking around at the quiet surroundings, he suddenly pointed to an inn with a lantern hanging not far away and ordered: "Go to the inn."
In the back hall of the county government office, Ye Chengguan had just sat down, thinking about the situation in the alley in the south of the city, silently sorting out the books and files on his desk, and finally looked up at the book boy with some uneasiness.
After a few seconds of silence, he suddenly said in a deep voice: "Ting'an, there was a murder in the south of the city tonight. In recent days, you asked Lu Dianshi to send a few more people on night watch there."
Ting An looked at him hesitantly: "Master, are you worried about Miss Hua's family?"
"Talk too much."
Ye Chengguan glared at the book boy angrily: "Why don't you go quickly."
After all, she personally pointed out that Nizi was suing for the Han family, so she couldn't let anything slip up at this juncture.
Ting'an didn't dare to ask any more questions and ran out.
Hua Rujin returned to the hall and saw Cai Baiwei sitting at the coffee table, leading two little cubs with their eyes blankly in a daze.
She stepped forward and picked up little Muyang, pinched his tender little face, and softly comforted him: "Don't be afraid, my sister is here."
"Sister, I'm not afraid."
Hua Muyang put her little head close to her arms.
The family has survived the most difficult time, and now there is nothing more terrifying than forcing my sister to be buried.
"Rujin, are those people just now really not instigated by your second aunt and the Meng family?"
At this time, Cai Baiwei thought about the scene in the alley and everyone's conversations, and hatred arose in her heart.
I have never thought about embarrassing their second wife, but the mother and daughter are always instigating trouble, which is really hateful.
"They don't have the guts."
Hua Rujin helped her go to the bedroom.
Seeing Cai Baiwei's sullen face, she smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, mom, one day I will let them feel the pain that our mother and daughter have endured in the past few years."
Since Mrs. Yin named Meng is so keen on arranging marriage arrangements for others, she naturally has to give her precious daughter a good marriage.
Otherwise, who will inherit the chastity arch of the Hua family?
Cai Baiwei always feels that her daughter has been acting strangely lately. Not only has her talk become more and more skillful, but her hands have also become more capable. Is this still her poor girl who has always been submissive and resigned?
"Rujin, my mother heard from your cousin earlier that there is an old beggar begging you to become your master. Is this true?"
Cai Baiwei looked at her with confusion.
"Oh, yes, this old man. My master is really a strange person with great abilities. I only received his guidance a few times. Mom, you see, I feel like a different person now."
Hua Rujin explained without blushing or heart beating.
"Then if you have a chance, you have to bring the old man home so that your father and I can meet him."
Cai Baiwei warned seriously: "Don't wait too long."
"I got it."
Hua Rujin half-pushed her into the house: "Aniang, please take You En and Mu Yang to have a rest. There will be guests coming tomorrow."
"guest?"
Cai Baiwei was confused.
"Auntie will know tomorrow."
Huarujinfeng's eyes were slightly narrowed, and the corners of her mouth were curved into a mysterious smile.
"Okay, you should go back to your room and rest quickly. Don't read too late."
Cai Baiwei didn't ask any more questions, took Xiao Muyang and sat on the bed and started to coax Xiao Douding to sleep.
Hua Youen held Hua Rujin and refused to let go: "Sister, sister, can I sleep with you?"
"Not tonight."
Hua Rujin's eyes paused for a moment: "Let's go tomorrow night. Sister will tidy up the house first and settle down the little group."
"Oh well."
Hua Youen curled her lips angrily, knowing that her mother-in-law didn't like her contact with Xiao Tuantuan, so she immediately gave up the idea.
After Hua Rujin comforted the mother and daughter, she went out, closed the door, and entered the inner courtyard with elbows and grilled fish.
After lighting the lamp and looking at the lazy little Tuantuan lying on the dressing table, Hua Rujin immediately opened a pack of grilled fish and placed it on the coffee table.
Without waiting for a greeting, Xiao Tuantuan immediately climbed up excitedly when he smelled the scent of fish, and ate the fish with big mouthfuls.
While Hua Rujin gently stroked the soft cat fur, she raised her eyes and looked at the quiet inner west wing behind the rockery.
After pondering for a moment, he picked up another package of grilled fish and elbows, and walked slowly over with an oil lamp.
But when she got to the west wing, she checked carefully and found that there was no one in the room, and she didn't know where the little girl had gone.
Hua Rujin suddenly felt bad.
She lowered her eyebrows and looked at the floor under her feet. She hesitantly put down what she was holding, and immediately went to find the tunnel switch hidden behind the rockery.
After twisting the mechanism and returning to the west wing, a deep black hole on the floor suddenly came into view.
She held the oil lamp in one hand and the dagger in the other, walking step by step towards the depths of darkness with heavy steps.
