The men departed in disgrace, not only because the conversation failed, but also because they had been defeated by an Asian woman, who was Gramont's beloved servant, and they did not even dare to reprimand her.
Crisp applause echoed in the room, Gramont had never seen such a eloquent person, "No wonder Jacqueline likes to listen to your stories, your mouth is amazing, I was a juror in the courtroom, you are more clever than the lawyer in the courtroom at that time." ”
If you can speak Chinese, Chen Qinghuan must be even more able to speak it than now, she has indeed opened the eyes of many people, and even changed Grammon's preconceived view of Asians.
"Sir, I just promise that I am fully prepared, and that I believe in hard work no matter what I do, and that I will be prepared and do my best not to lose Mr. Gramont's face. She spared no effort to express her heartfelt and ambition, she just wanted to tell him that she was capable of work, that she could do a lot of things, so she was not willing to be just a maid who told stories in the castle.
Gramont admits that he was impressed by her performance today, but even if he was willing to let an Asian work for him, others would question her and even implicate him in those important occasions in the future.
"You look good, but I can find better people all the time, so why do you have to?"
"I won't waste any opportunity that my husband gave me, next time I will definitely be able to show my uniqueness, after all, today is just an ordinary conversation, the opponent is so weak, even if I want to perform, I don't have a chance at all. ”
Such arrogant and confident words, she always boasted about Haikou like this, so that Gramont wanted to see what else she was so remarkable, and snorted softly and said, "But I won't necessarily give you another chance." ”
Hearing this, she didn't show a trace of astonishment, Chen Qinghuan still had several trump cards in her hand that had not been used, if she could, she originally wanted to be a servant of a heroic savior, not now used as a bargaining chip.
"Mr. Gramont, do you know who designed the stone pavilion in the garden, it seems to me that there are some minor problems with the structure, and I guess no one has been in for tea for a long time, otherwise the pavilion would have collapsed long ago because it could not support the force. ”
"Pavilion, why do you say that, don't pretend to understand. Gramont was a little disgusted by the sudden mention of this at this moment, and he did not believe her words, but thought that she had made it up in a hurry.
Chen Qinghuan did not rush to argue, she bowed her head and continued: "I have already instructed Miss Jacqueline not to go around there, if Mr. Gramont is fine, I will go to Madame's room to play with Miss." ”
Grammon looked at her calm and calm appearance for a while, and inexplicably believed her words for a few minutes, waved her hand to make her retreat, and couldn't read the book after she stepped back, the matter of the pavilion always haunted him in his heart, and Chen Qinghuan had expected that he would definitely confirm it.
Sure enough, on the second day, there was a loud noise in the courtyard, and Chen Qinghuan was painting for Jacqueline at that time, and at the moment when Jacqueline was finished, Jacqueline was startled by the sudden voice, "Miss Jacqueline, don't be afraid, you see that I have already painted, do you like it?"
Jacqueline was immediately distracted, and a smile bloomed on her lovely face, "Fu, it turns out that you really know how to draw! Mom also said that how can a maid be such an elegant thing, obviously only nobles have the opportunity to learn to paint, were you also a nobleman before." ”
"I only know a thing or two about drawing. ”
Later, the housekeeper hurriedly came and took Chen Qinghuan away, not surprisingly, she got the opportunity to help Gramont deal with legal affairs, in fact, Gramont usually does not have so many legal affairs to deal with, if it is not for the new policy now, in the past, what a nobleman like him said was equivalent to regulations, which is why he needs a legal Gu now.
Chen Qinghuan finally walked out of the Rose Manor, she followed Gramont to this strange land, and walked forward unswervingly in the face of a crowd of strange eyes, if someone did not care about Gramont's face and verbally insulted her, she would not change her face and be polite, if she ignored her complexion, she could simply be called the most elegant and noble lady of all.
Grammon actually had an Asian woman by his side, this matter quickly spread among the nobles, in their eyes it was a shame to be on an equal footing with inferior races, everyone looked at Gramont's eyes became frivolous and weird, if Chen Qinghuan did nothing again, then Gramont's patience was about to reach the limit.
In about a week, Chen Qinghuan has thoroughly understood the various situations outside, there is a reason why the aristocracy only uses people of other races as servants, due to the rapid development of the times, the current commoners have begun to advocate equality for all, they want to deprive the nobles of their privileges, and the state is also behind the scenes to guide the people's thoughts, so the nobles have become victims of political struggle.
In this context, there is an innocent and dead civilian in the land under the name of Gramon, originally this kind of trivial matter can be settled in secret, but this is obviously someone has extended his claws to Gramon, if he can't come up with a statement to calm the anger of the public, then his future life will not be easy.
"God knows how he died there! Grammon sat on the sofa with his forehead propped up, and had already asked the former Fa Gu to come back, and this matter must be interrogated publicly, and when all interested civilians came back to watch, he must deal with it properly.
Gramont didn't expect this kind of big matter to be settled by Chen Qinghuan, he was busy discussing with Fa Gu, and he didn't care where Chen Qinghuan went, and Chen Qinghuan used the few banknotes she only had to go to the scene to exchange for some news, and asked about the situation door to door under pressure, and after going for two days, everyone in the neighborhood knew that there was an Asian hanging around here every day.
On the third day, the trial was about the same as a public execution, and Gramont, who had been a juror some time ago, was now the subject of a public trial, and he tried to maintain an elegant posture to be questioned by the judge, while his lawyer defended him.
Chen Qinghuan dressed tightly and mixed in the crowd to listen to the trial, as she thought, Fa Gu would only use the fact that Gramont was a nobleman to suppress it, completely ignoring the fact that this was a precise thunderstorm, and the voices of the people's dissatisfaction came one after another, like some sharp sound piercing Gramont's ears.
Not surprisingly, Grammon was defeated in the first trial, not only being spurned by a group of civilians, but also being sentenced to hand over the land use rights and compensate the family of the deceased for an expensive fee.
"Get me a real lawyer again! He's a liar, and I'm not going to spend a penny on him again." Gramont was angry at the housekeeper, and when the housekeeper left, Chen Qinghuan saw the opportunity to present the information collected in the past few days and the detailed fighting methods in the court to Gramont.
Gramont didn't look at the information she handed over, frowned and looked up at her and asked, "Do you think you're better than him?" ”
"Mr. Gramont, I never do anything that I am not sure of, you should know me. As she spoke, she raised the thick document in her hand a little higher, meaning that she was well prepared.
Anyway, it won't be worse than today, and although Chen Qinghuan did little, he did never make any mistakes, nor did he lose face, Gramont warned: "You should know the fate of failure." ”
"Of course. "Fagu's failure is simply the loss of the protection of a nobleman, and if she fails, there is no place for her.
The second trial was soon opened, and this time there were more onlookers, who heard that Gramont's defense lawyer turned out to be an Asian woman, and everyone didn't know where to start laughing, and he hired a pig to be a lawyer better than her.
"God, can she speak, will she be mute?"
"She looked so small, short and thin, and the kids in the slums were better than her. ”
Gramont's face was ugly, and she even regretted agreeing to Chen Qinghuan, but Chen Qinghuan turned a deaf ear to this, her eyes were bright, and the light of confidence seemed to ignite her, she considered any question that the plaintiff would ask, and did a good job of responding to the evidence, and someone in the audience immediately recognized her, saying that she was the Asian who had been appearing at the scene of the crime.
Fu Shaohua felt Chen Qinghuan's calm response from the first perspective, if it was her, she should have been scared when she stood in front of the judge, although she was used to the coexistence of the two, but every time Chen Qinghuan opened her mouth, she couldn't help but marvel at her body doing such a thing.
The positions of the two sides have not changed, but the battle situation has already been turned upside down, Chen Qinghuan's every sentence has traces to follow, she can even recite which person she asked at which intersection at what time, and there is no rule in the regulations that Gramont needs to pay for this, the other party has publicly interrogated in order to suppress the nobles, and now it has become a stone to shoot herself in the foot.
Chen Qinghuan's words were like magic, not only accurately refuting the other party, but also making the people feel unprecedented comfort, she was based on the premise of equality and legal evidence to clear Gramon's grievances, rather than bullying commoners for a nobleman.
This battle made everyone present remember the name Fu Shaohua, people think that she should be a mysterious witch from the East, and she is also very kind, even if Gramont was found not guilty, she also took the initiative to ask Gramont to give the family of the deceased a consolation money, which not only saved face for him, but also won him the favor of the people.
Gramont's attitude towards Chen Qinghuan has changed drastically, she has proved her ability with her strength and solved a ** trouble for him, so the previous rumors of the Asian maid around Gramont among the nobles spread again.
There have been several nobles who have been deprived of property rights openly and secretly, Gramont is the only one who has escaped safely so far, and it is the thin Asian girl they have seen who helped him, everyone is shocked and ready to move, and in just a few days, Fu Shaohua's name has been known to everyone.
