The sound of voices coming from outside the door seemed to be noisy from far away.
This kind of noise has not disappeared since Cheng Qiniang came here. There are also those high-pitched and low-pitched cocks, and the unpleasant barking of dogs, not to mention the strange smells that are rushing to get into their noses.
Cheng Qiniang felt her tears flowing down again. She hugged her knees and shrank into the corner. The sound in her ears became clearer. She swallowed and slowly turned her neck. The dark wall
A small insect is crawling over...
Cheng Qiniang had never seen such a terrifying scene in her whole life. It was even more terrifying than the fight between her mother and aunt she had just seen. She screamed and crawled towards the door.
"Qiniang, Qiniang, what's wrong?"
Mrs. Cheng Er opened the door and hurriedly came in, hugged Cheng Qiniang who threw herself into her arms, and patted and comforted her.
"Mother, mother, I don't want to be here, it's too scary here." Cheng Qiniang cried, pointing behind her finger, "There are bugs..."
"Don't be afraid, mother will kill it."
Mrs. Cheng Er said hurriedly, stepped forward, patted the wall twice randomly, and coaxed Cheng Qiniang for a while before she calmed down.
Mother and daughter sat down on the floor mat.
"Mom, we don't want to live here anymore, it's too shabby..." Cheng Qiniang said aggrievedly as she leaned in front of her mother.
Mrs. Cheng Er glanced around.
The house in this courtyard itself is made of simple materials, and it is old and shabby. Moreover, the house they live in is still the house where the girl named Banqin lives. I don't know what it is used for, maybe it is a woodshed.
…
It was also the first time for Mrs. Cheng Er to see such a house in the world.
"It's not as good as where Sijin lives." Cheng Qiniang said.
Sijin is their family's guard dog.
Mrs. Cheng Er hurriedly reached out and covered her mouth with a bit of panic.
"Don't talk nonsense, let them hear carefully." She whispered.
"So what if you heard it?" Cheng Qiniang shouted unhappily, "What I said was right!"
"They will drive us out." Mrs. Cheng Er said.
"Just go out when you get out. Who wants to live in such a shabby place?" Cheng Qiniang said.
Mrs. Cheng Er looked sad.
Yes, who would want to live in such a shabby place...
Seeing her mother's expression, Cheng Qiniang lowered her head and stopped shouting.
"Mother." She raised her head again, a little uneasy, "Does Auntie not want us to go back?"
Mrs. Cheng Er instantly sat up straight again.
"She?" she said with a snort, "She can't be our master yet. It's okay. Don't worry, we live here with your sister. No one dares to bully us."
After saying this, Mrs. Cheng Er was a little startled.
Just yesterday, no, even this morning, she never thought that she would rely on this fool, that she would hide from her in panic.
This is something Cheng Qiniang has been puzzled about since she ran out of the house with her mother in panic.
"Why?" she asked.
These things couldn't be explained clearly to a child, so Mrs. Cheng forced a smile to comfort her.
"There are some things at home that you don't understand even when you are young. Mother will tell you when you are older." She said, "Don't worry, we will go back soon."
Although Cheng Qiniang didn't understand, she was still frightened by seeing her mother and aunt, the two closest people she knew, fighting together, and she still couldn't comfort her with just a word.
"Did you hear that just now?" Mrs. Cheng Er said, pointing outward with a bit of pride, "Your aunt sent someone here."
Cheng Qiniang's tears were about to fall again. In front of her eyes, the scene of her always kind-hearted aunt ferociously pounced on her mother and beat her fiercely, her little face turned pale.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Mrs. Cheng Er hurriedly hugged her daughter, feeling resentful in her heart.
Wang Shiniang is a bitch, she beats and scolds people and doesn’t shy away from them, which scares her daughter!
"She's not here to bully me, but she's here to invite your sister." She said with joy, "Your sister made her half angry to death, but so what? She has to come to invite your sister, so there's no need to be afraid. Wait.
Let’s see, they will come to invite us soon.”
Cheng Qiniang was comforted by coaxing and persuading. Cheng Qiniang was also frightened and tired, and soon fell asleep under the comfort of Mrs. Cheng Er.
Mrs. Cheng Er breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out her hand to rub her sore waist, and then touched her face. The wound on it was painful to the touch, and she couldn't help but take a breath.
Wang Shiniang, this bitch! Let’s wait and see!
She cursed hard in her mind again, as if this would relieve the pain.
When he opened the door and walked out, he saw the girl walking into the yard.
"Ban Qin, Ban Qin." She shouted hurriedly and walked over.
Banqin stopped and looked at her.
"Second Madam, when are you leaving? It's getting dark today," she said.
Little hooves, you actually want to drive people away! If only I had come to live here before, all of you would have dreamed of it!
Mrs. Cheng Er burst into laughter.
"Banqin, you see, because my dear girl almost made the eldest man mad to death, we made such a fuss. We gave evidence in the hall and almost got eaten by the eldest lady. How can we go back?" She said, raising her hand to wipe it.
tear.
Banqin looked a little hesitant.
Yes, logically speaking, then... what should I do?
"Banqin, I see that the eldest lady's people came to invite your wife just now." Mrs. Cheng Er raised her eyebrows and said, "It seems that the matter is going to be over. They have admitted defeat. Go and ask your wife to come back. Don't hide.
Now everything will be decided by her and we can negotiate terms."
Banqin glanced at her.
"Second Madam, what are you talking about?" she said, "My wife has gone out to relax, what do you mean by hiding?"
Oh, this damn girl is still pretending...
He almost made his uncle angry to death in court for causing such a big trouble, and also handed over the family property to the blood-sucking gang of officials. Such a rebellious person would be beaten to death immediately by the clan.
If it's not hiding, what is that?
Mrs. Cheng Er twitched her lips and smiled.
"Oh, hiding is right." Banqin also smiled, pointed outside, and looked at Mrs. Cheng Er up and down, "Hide quietly."
Mrs. Cheng Er's expression froze as she watched this girl walk by.
"Guanshi Cao, come in, let's discuss what the lady has told us," she said.
A male voice answered outside the door and stepped in.
Mrs. Cheng Er hurriedly turned to her side and raised her sleeves to cover her face, but Manager Cao went in without even looking at her.
Hiding in silence?
Could it be that she just left it alone when she started making trouble? Then why make trouble!
Jiangzhou government office, the scent of tea spreads in the study room.
Drinking a bowl of sencha after a hard day's work is a great way to relieve fatigue.
"Try it to Xiang Kun." Magistrate Song poured the tea and personally held it up and handed it to Li Jietui, who was sitting opposite.
At this time, his face was full of gentle smile, and there was no trace of dissatisfaction.
Li Jie pushed and stood up quickly, took it with both hands, saluted and thanked him, raised his head and drank in one gulp.
"Good tea, good tea. Your tea skills are getting better and better." He praised repeatedly.
"Xiang Kun, you like this, so you know what good tea is. If it were me, I just know how to drink it to quench thirst and relieve fatigue." Tongpan on the other side also picked up the tea bowl and said.
The laughter in the room was really joyful, but there was no tense and red-eyed sarcasm in the courtroom.
After the tea was finished, the three of them put down their tea bowls.
"Then Sir, you see this case must continue to be tried..." Li Jietui said.
The judge was already nodding his head.
"That's..." he blurted out. In the middle of the sentence, he saw Magistrate Song beside him who was thoughtful and didn't speak, so he stopped talking.
Two pairs of four eyes were staring at Magistrate Song. Magistrate Song seemed to be able to hear their wild shouts of "yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, must, must, must go on trial, it's all money, money, money..."
Magistrate Song couldn't help but smile, looked up and called out someone, and then a guest came in.
"How about that?" he asked.
Qingke shook his head.
"When we dispersed, everyone left, there was no reaction, and they haven't come back until now," he said.
Magistrate Song stretched out his hand to twist his beard and frowned.
Although the outcome of the court case was not stated clearly, everyone knew in their hearts that the case was settled, unless the plaintiff withdrew the lawsuit.
The eldest man of the Cheng family was so angry that he almost died. The Cheng family suffered a big loss and the Zhou family benefited. The women of the Qin family left without coming back to visit or say anything. Could it be that this was what they recognized and satisfied?
result?
Li Jietui and Tongpan looked at each other, puzzled by their conversation.
"My lord, is there anything else wrong?" the judge asked tentatively.
At present, this should be the case.
Magistrate Song nodded and smiled at them.
"No, no," he said, holding out his hand, "The case will follow the rules, follow the rules."
This is consent. That is natural. How could you disagree? Both Jiitui and Tongpan laughed.
"Drink tea, drink tea."
Everyone greeted each other, and the atmosphere in the study was warm.
The atmosphere in the Cheng family was gloomy. People coming and going were pale and frightened, and they walked much faster than before.
A girl hurried into the hall holding a medicine bowl and almost bumped into a servant girl who came out. The two looked at each other. One was in no mood to complain and the other was in no mood to blame, so they stepped aside and stepped aside.
In the room, Mr. Cheng stood up again with his hands on his body. Mrs. Cheng was busy supporting and persuading him.
"What did you say? Did she go out?" Mr. Cheng asked breathlessly, "When did she leave? Where did she go?"
The servant girl shook her head.
"I said I went out early in the morning, but I didn't say where I was going," she said uneasily.
"Then you didn't say when you would come back, right?" Mr. Cheng said, holding on to the edge of the bed.
The servant girl lowered her head and nodded.
"But Banqin and Manager Cao are both here. If they want anything, just tell them." She thought of something and raised her head and said.
Mr. Cheng looked at her, twitching the corners of his mouth as if he was smiling.
"Tell them..." he said.
As our legitimate daughter, she will naturally not go to court to participate in this case in person, and will only be left as a slave to take care of her.
However, a slave can go to court to argue the case on behalf of his wife, but he certainly cannot make decisions on his behalf.
"My lord, please forgive me. Our wife has given us instructions..."
"We don't dare to make the decision. We'll wait until I ask my wife for advice..."
Mr. Cheng had even heard the answer he would get from the two slaves.
"Okay, okay." He said tremblingly, smiling and patting the edge of the bed with his hand, "Okay!"
Mrs. Cheng and others were shocked, and really didn’t know what was so good about this...
"She is determined to destroy our Cheng family!" Mr. Cheng shouted, raising his hand and pointing outside, his eyes widened, his face flushed and trembling, "So cruel! So vicious!"
After shouting one sentence, the person fell down again, and the room suddenly burst into chaos with screams and cries.
