Hua Rujin sent Mrs. Liu back to her house, and after the master and servant entered the door, she turned around and headed to the Zhang house opposite.
The Li family's gate is magnificent, with the nobility of a wealthy family everywhere. Looking at the Zhang family's house, it is short and shabby. In comparison, it is indeed much simpler.
If the Zhang family's wife was greedy for the Li family's wealth and used various means to marry her daughter into the Li family, wouldn't it be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? Why did she allow the Li family's son-in-law to secretly meet her daughter for so long but then tell them about it?
In court?
Full of questions, she knocked hard on the Zhang family's courtyard door.
I waited for a long time before someone came out and opened the door.
What came out was a middle-aged woman with a bloated figure. She was dressed in gold and silver, showing her elegance, but she seemed out of place in this simple house.
Moreover, there were two short and thin female servants behind him.
"who are you?"
The woman glanced at Hua Rujin with vigilance, looking very unfamiliar. She immediately looked at the Li family opposite and said in a strange tone: "Is this the lobbyist that Mrs. Liu has hired?"
Listening to the tone of her voice, Hua Rujin guessed that it was the Zhang family's wife, and said bluntly: "It's not a bad idea if Madam thinks so."
"Looking at how young the girl is, she doesn't learn some needlework at home and goes out to do such unseemly things for others. It's simply unseemly."
Mrs. Zhang's wife glared angrily: "Go and tell the man named Liu that his son has only one path this time and there is no need to negotiate."
As soon as he finished speaking, he closed the courtyard door tightly and walked away.
Hua Rujin has long been accustomed to this situation.
Many situations I encountered when litigating for others in my previous life were even worse than this.
The so-called receiving money from others means that you have to eliminate disasters for them.
She could still withstand this blow.
After looking at the closed courtyard door, she had no choice but to return to Li's house calmly.
Seeing the female envoy in front of Mrs. Liu, Hua Rujin smiled casually: "I think it's not as easy as you said for Madam Zhang."
If you don't have any wealth, how can you hire a female envoy?
There were two of them who came out alone.
"It's strange to say that the Zhang family usually lives frugally and is reluctant to wear even a new dress, but recently she has been very generous. Not only does she dress up every day, but even the female servants in the courtyard
Everyone who has gone out has five or six faces."
Liu's little maid rubbed her chin, puzzled: "I never heard her family was so wealthy before."
"Maybe he fell in love with a noble person."
Hua Rujin asked with a wry smile: "Is that young lady from the Zhang family still at home?"
"I guess he is here."
The little maid nodded suspiciously: "I have never seen her go out."
"It seems that we have to find a way to meet this young lady from the Zhang family."
Hua Rujin suddenly had some bad taste in her heart.
Since they are a pair of true lovers, now the lover is going to the guillotine, but Miss Zhang can be so calm.
Either they are really humiliated or they have deep hatred that cannot be resolved.
Looking at the little maid, Hua Rujin confirmed again: "Your young master and Miss Zhang's family are indeed in love?"
The little maid raised her hand and said swornly: "I dare to pledge my life as a guarantee."
"I believe you."
Hua Rujin pursed her lips and gave a faint smile: "Will you cry?"
"cry?"
The little maid was stunned for a moment without knowing what was going on, then she cried for a while, and then she immediately smiled calmly: "Miss Hua, is this okay?"
"I think it's pretty good."
Hua Rujin nodded with satisfaction: "Go and buy some paper money for the sacrifice. Then go outside and tell Miss Zhang truthfully about your young master's current situation. If she still has any grudge against your young master, listen to you."
Crying will relieve your anger, if not."
At this point, her voice gradually stopped.
She raised her eyes and looked at the little maid, who understood: "I understand, I will go and take care of it now."
After a cup of tea, the Li family, which was originally extremely peaceful, suddenly heard a heartbreaking howl of ghosts and wolves in front of the Zhang family:
"Young master, I can only send you off here today in advance. The master said that you have committed such a crime that is so disgraceful to the family, and you will be reviled by thousands of people when you are executed. If I don't let my slave and my wife go to see you off, you will be polished in the next life.
Damn it, don't make friends with those wolf-hearted people."
Hua Rujin stood quietly in front of the courtyard gate of the Li family, watching the little maid cry so sadly that she felt dumbfounded for a moment.
Not long after, there was movement around.
She looked back and found that it was not the Zhang family, but Mrs. Liu who ran out angrily.
"Madam, are you awake?"
Hua Rujin asked calmly.
"Miss Hua, what are you doing?"
Madam Liu glared at the female envoy angrily and was about to scold her when Hua Rujin quickly hissed at her: "If Madam wants to rescue your son, just listen to me and stay away for a while."
After hearing this, Mrs. Liu had no choice but to retreat into the courtyard with doubts.
Not long after, there was movement at the Zhang family's courtyard gate opposite.
Hua Rujin raised her eyes and saw a beautiful little oval face reflected through the crack in the door.
The neck was wrapped with a layer of gauze, and the whole person looked extremely haggard.
Hua Rujin was shocked: Could it be that she had committed suicide?
The woman glanced solemnly at the crying little maid in front of the door, and just as she was about to speak out, the bloated woman from before rushed out immediately with two female envoys.
The old woman pulled her and buried her head in tears: "You stinky girl, even if you have suffered a huge disaster, you should not have committed suicide and cruelly abandoned your mother. How can you let your mother live alone?"
The woman seemed indifferent to the crying in front of her. She looked at Hua Rujin with her eyes and slowly shook her head.
Then he looked up at the sky and pointed out two fingers.
Hua Rujin watched the movements in her hands silently, and finally the courtyard door was tightly closed again.
Recalling the look in her eyes just now, there was no resentment in her eyes, but instead, they were full of helplessness.
I also imitated her actions and looked at the sky, gestured with my fingers, thought for a while, immediately understood, and happily shouted to the little maid who was still crying: "That's enough, let's call it a day."
"knock off?"
The little maid came back confused and followed Hua Rujin as she walked into the courtyard: "It seems that Miss Zhang didn't have time to say anything."
"She has made it very clear that your young master is innocent."
Hua Rujin smiled.
"But I didn't hear anything."
The little maid was even more confused.
After hearing the conversation between the two, Mrs. Liu hurried out and asked anxiously: "Is Miss Hua serious about what she said?"
"Absolutely true."
Hua Rujin's tone was very determined: "But I have to borrow my wife's maid, and she will come with me to visit the son in prison tomorrow."
As for why she was not allowed to go there in person, I think this woman also understood the pain involved.
Mrs. Liu's face darkened for a while, then she suddenly raised her head and looked at the little maid: "Cui Cui, go to prison and tell your young master that as long as he is willing to look back, no matter which girl he wants to marry in the future, I will not
Ask again."
When she finished speaking, her towel was wet with tears. She wiped away her tears and turned around, asking the female servant in the room to pack the package for Cuicui, and watched the two of them leave.
