"I knew this was the case, I shouldn't have refused that Xue Erlang in the first place, I took pity on my son...... Ahem......"

A violent cough interrupted Tao Ruohui's words, and he covered his mouth with a cloth towel, and a heavy sadness crossed his eyes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

If he hadn't been arrogant and unwilling to be attached to others, how could he have taken advantage of living in this capital city to cause his daughter to be insulted by her words and deeds? If he had been relieved at that time, he and his daughter would have settled down in the Xue Mansion in the capital at this moment, and they would have lived comfortably without worrying about food and clothing every day.

That is the Xue clan of Xiaqiu, it is the top crown clan of the Chen country, if he Tao Ruohui is the master of the Xue Mansion, Hu Shilang's villain will have a hundred guts, and he will never dare to bully him.

The more Tao Ruohui thought about it, the more he hated, and deeply regretted that he had insisted on going his own way, and he was angry for a while, and his cough became more and more severe, and his hand holding the water cup kept shaking, and he couldn't drink it in his mouth for a long time.

Tao Wenjuan hurriedly stepped forward to calm him, stabilized the water cup, served him to drink water, and comforted him softly: "Father has always been free and easy, why do you have such self-mourning words? If my mother knew in heaven and saw my father so sad, she would feel uncomfortable. ”

Speaking of her mother, her eyes were finally red, but she still held back her sadness and turned around to look at the medicine by the small clay stove on the side.

Mother died two years ago, only she and her father depended on each other, the hometown recently suffered a natural disaster, life was difficult, my father took her to Beijing to find relatives, I don't want the uncle to move to Qingzhou, looking for relatives, and my father suddenly got seriously ill, had to rent a hospital here, this live, then lived for three months.

Their plate fees are already small, and now they are even more stretched. Today she went to the pawnshop and took the jade pendant left by her mother, and finally had some silver in her hand.

"Now that the weather is getting warmer day by day, the doctor said that as long as the weather is warm, my father's illness will be cured, and you can take care of it with peace of mind, don't be anxious and angry. Tao Wenjuan said softly, while removing the lid of the crockpot to look at the medicine, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I came back early, this medicine is not good yet, and I am still worried about boiling paste." ”

She turned her head to look at Tao Ruohui, her youthful and beautiful face was shining like water, and the corners of her lips were smiling, and there was more and more bright beauty.

Tao Ruohui looked at her beloved daughter, who had worked hard day and night in the past few months, and her daughter's two hands were no longer as white and tender as they used to be, and the frostbite marks left on her knuckles were like frostbite.

He was distressed, but he also knew that with his current body, it would be difficult even if he wanted to copy books for others, and he could only recover from his illness.

After a while, the medicine was boiled up, and Tao Ruohui drank the medicine and fell asleep.

The medicine had a calming ingredient in it, and it usually allowed him to sleep peacefully for an hour or two.

Seeing that he finally slept peacefully, Tao Wenjuan breathed a sigh of relief, simply used some dry food, and was about to embroider the towel that was not embroidered yesterday in exchange for some living expenses, when he suddenly heard the courtyard door being slammed with a bang, mixed with a man's voice: "Open the door quickly! Open the door quickly! We are here to get the stolen goods!"

She was taken aback, put down the embroidery work and came to the door, and looked through the crack in the door, but saw that it was Hu Tian outside the door.

He led with a few servants, followed by several old men in the Lizheng and Fangfang, all standing at the door of their houses.

Tao Wenjuan's heart sank.

After thinking for a moment, she did not open the door, but asked aloud: "May I ask what happened to Li Zheng and all the elders? Why did you come to my house with Hu Langjun? Could it be that there are really people in the capital who want to take it by force? Where is the royal law? Where is the heavenly reason? Are you not afraid of God's punishment if you bully me like this as a weak girl?"

Although she was a woman, her words were extremely sharp, and she was embarrassed with the rest of the people, and she was speechless for a while.

Hu Tian triumphantly slapped the fan in his hand, and pretended to be sven: "The little lady's words are wrong. These people are here to testify, and someone saw you go to the pawnshop today and take my family's ancestral jade pendant as a tael of silver. Now I suspect you of stealing your possessions, and I will search your yard. ”

"Nonsense!" Tao Wenjuan trembled with anger, and a pair of beautiful eyes were bloodshot: "That jade pendant was left by my mother, why did your ancestors say it? Hu Langjun is a dignified seven-foot man, but he acts so despicably and shamelessly, aren't you ashamed in your heart?"

Her voice is originally gentle, even if she is angry, it is gentle and touching in her ears.

Hu Tian's body was already half crisp, and when he thought about the beautiful and fair face and slender figure of the person behind the door, his soul was about to fly, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

"Little lady Tao, don't be angry. He tossed the bones that were not too light, mung bean's small eyes narrowed into slits, and said with a kind face: "I know that those of you who have read books pay the most attention to reputation, and I don't want to wronged you." You open the door first and let my people search your yard, and if I am mistaken, I will treat that jade pendant as a gift to you. ”

"Shut up!" Tao Wenjuan shouted angrily, but on the other hand, she tried her best to suppress her anger, and her mind was racing with thoughts.

After all, his father and daughter are not locals, but this Hu Tian is a tyrant in Huiyinfang, those neighbors may not really be willing to help their own family, and if Hu Tian is allowed to enter the door, he can do all the things that are despicable to this person, and he can't let him enter this door!

Tao Wenjuan frowned tightly, and suddenly blessed her heart, and a thought flew into her heart.

She calmed her breathing, slowed down her tone, and said in the next door: "Hu Langjun, since you are sure that the jade pendant is your family's ancestor, then good, I will ask Li Zheng to be a witness here, please write down the color, pattern, size and weight of the jade pendant now, and hand it to Li Zheng, I will hand the pawn ticket out, please Li Zheng check it, and see if the two are the same, so that it can also prove my innocence." ”

The more Tao Wenjuan said, the more stable her heart became.

She was in a hurry, but she forgot about it. She has always treasured that jade pendant and has never shown it to others, and at this moment, as long as she proves that the jade pendant belongs to her family, Hu Tian's lie will be self-defeating.

Hearing this, Hu Tian didn't speak, but Li Zheng nodded first: "This is a good idea." As he spoke, he turned to Hu Tian and said with some embarrassment: "Hu Langjun, you said that Tao Xiaoniang stole and dragged us here, you must give a real credential, otherwise, we will not be able to wronged people like this." ”

To tell the truth, how the father and daughter of the Tao family are are people, everyone in the neighborhood knows. Although this family doesn't like to talk to people, but in the end it is a person who has read a book, and the most upright and polite, and the girl in this family is even more sensible and filial.

Helplessly, this Hu Tian's family is very rich, and there is a scholar clan to support it, although it is the kind of small clan that can't mention chopsticks the most, but it is far from what they can afford to provoke. (To be continued.) )
