Listening to these nonsense words from the other party, Zhan Yunjiao's face turned red and white.
At this moment, she had no intention of exposing the other party's lie that he didn't know the person he was going to deal with tonight was Xu Mingyi——
But one thing was right.
She really didn't expect that Xu Mingyi would bring so many people here at first!
She asked someone to write in the letter that she wanted Xu Mingyi to come alone. She originally thought that even if Xu Mingyi was more thoughtful and had one or two maids accompanying him, he would not be a match for so many people - but Xu Mingyi was
It's like bringing an elite team here!
How could she bring so many people with her when she came to see an old friend who had "resurrected from the dead"? - What was she going to do?
Zhan Yunjiao couldn't figure out why the situation was so different from what she expected.
Could it be that Xu Mingyi didn't believe that the letter was written by her brother from the beginning? Was she certain that someone was trying to harm her?
Maybe Mingyi has always been arrogant since childhood, but when did she become so alert?
Seeing her unwillingness, Xu Mingyi sneered in her eyes.
Zhan Yunjiao had indeed successfully aroused her curiosity, and she was bound to come on this trip.
But she overestimated her friendship for Zhan Yunzhu.
No, to be precise, it's not an overestimation, it's a complete misjudgment.
It would be damning if a completely misjudged plan could actually succeed.
"Tell me, who are you working for?"
Although the hatred of some people in this world may be fermented just because of a trivial matter, it is obvious that even if Zhan Yunjiao really harbors such resentment towards her, she does not have the ability to do so.
Even if all the plans tonight are clumsy and whimsical, and no one in the group can beat them, one hundred taels of silver should be indispensable - the one squatting in the tree alone is too much.
But I’m afraid it’s not appropriate to talk without thirty or fifty taels.
Zhan Yunjiao's life must be difficult now. How could he possibly use all this money to retaliate against her?
Besides, money alone is not enough for this kind of thing. If she, a little girl who grew up in a scholarly family in the past, had no connections, where would she find them?
"Sister Xu, I really didn't mean to harm you! You and I grew up together, how could I possibly do such a thing!" Zhan Yunjiao still had no intention of admitting it.
Xu Mingyi was too lazy to talk to her anymore: "In that case, just send the person to the government."
If Yunjiao was the only one, she would not be afraid that the other party would not speak up even if she tried her best.
But with such a large group of people, being too cruel would have bad consequences.
Moreover, she was the one who took advantage of this matter, and it was not easy for someone to take the initiative to bully her. After taking advantage of such a favor, of course she had to make a big show of it.
Especially, she had vaguely guessed who was behind Zhan Yunjiao——
In this case, there is even less reason to settle the matter secretly.
Anyway, it is only natural that you should approach the government if you have trouble.
"Sister Xu, I...I can't go to the government!" Zhan Yunjiao was completely panicked and said with a pale face: "...My mother is still sick and has no one to take care of her. If I go to the government, something will happen to her.
of!"
"Until it is found out that your mother is involved in this matter, I will order someone to take good care of her——"
Zhan Yunjiao opened her mouth, shook her head, and said in a panic: "But...but if I am really sent to the government, my mother will definitely not be able to bear such a blow! She...the doctor said that her illness is the most serious.
It’s because I can’t stand the excitement... After my father and my brother had an accident, my mother’s body collapsed. If I were the same... she would not be able to hold on!"
As he spoke, he threw himself forward, kowtowed and said, "Sister Xu, I know I was wrong. Please, for the sake of the good relationship between our two families and my late brother, please spare me this."
Go back! Just save my mother!"
Xu Mingyi glanced at her and said calmly: "You have to be clear, if your mother really can't hold on, the person who kills her is not someone else, but her husband and children -"
When Zhan Qian helped the Xia family plot against their Zhenguo palace, didn't he think about his wife and children?
Zhan Yunzhu got a good reputation after leaving the yamen, turned around and threw himself into the river without even a word of explanation. Did he ever care about his mother and sister?
And what Zhan Yunjiao did today was exactly the same as her father and brother - she could be considered a well-educated family.
Instead of protecting your own family members, you want the victims to pity you. What kind of fallacies are filled in the minds of your family members all day long that make people want to be angry and laugh at the same time?
Zhan Yunjiao's body was stiff for a moment, and the expression on her face was sluggish.
Is she trying to kill her mother?
A weird smile suddenly burst out from her lips and teeth, and she raised her eyes and looked at Xu Mingyi fiercely: "Miss Xu from Zhenguo Palace really can't stand and talk without pain! If I had half your good luck, I wouldn't have left.
Come this far!”
Of course people who have everything don’t understand her hardships and struggles!
If everything goes well for her, why would she do these things to please Xia Xi?
Wu Chao frowned and pulled Xu Mingyi around.
"It is useless to ask more questions at this time. There is no need to talk to this kind of people——"
Using your own unhappiness as an excuse to hurt others is simply ridiculous.
To measure whether a person's character is good or not, it has never been about how he behaves when things go his way. On the contrary, what matters is how he does when things don't go his way -
Xu Mingyi was pulled by him, and as soon as he turned around, Zhu Xiu led someone forward and dragged Zhan Yunjiao up.
"No...I won't go to the government!" Zhan Yunjiao struggled hard, her voice hoarse and trembling with fear: "Let me go, let me go! Ah——"
After a while, the shouting suddenly stopped.
Xu Mingyi looked back and thought it was Uncle Zhu who couldn't bear it and knocked him unconscious.
Zhu Xiu said: "She fainted on her own."
Xu Mingyi was silent for a moment.
...Is it okay to knock myself out by myself?
You don’t even have the ability to bear this, yet you still want to harm others?
Zhu Xiu handed the man over to his subordinates and accompanied Xu Mingyi back to the wooden house to inspect.
Wu Chao looked at the scattered wooden doors and asked, "What is their specific purpose of luring you here tonight?"
Specific purpose?
Zhan Yunjiao fainted, I am afraid I need to ask Uncle Yun this question.
Xu Mingyi looked at the middle-aged man who was pretending to be a girl - Uncle Yun, like Fifth Uncle Qin, had been with her grandfather for many years. Although they looked strong and soft on the outside, they were both upright and violent in their hearts.
The temperaments are pretty much the same.
"Uncle Yun, what happened after entering the forest?"
"A man led his subordinates into this wooden house. There was a man in a long gown inside the wooden house. It seemed that he wanted to pretend to be Mr. Zhan and bring his subordinates in. After the subordinates entered, someone immediately opened the door from the outside.
He unlocked the door and locked the subordinate and the man in the house——"
Hearing him stop talking, Xu Mingyi asked: "What then?"
I always feel that the next words are the key point.
