The official found the documents and title deeds from Ling Wu's annex, confirming his statement. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After Zhang Xianling saw the evidence, his heart was relaxed.
"Okay, come on!" Zhang Xianling knocked on the table with a startled wood.
"Wait a minute!" Master Cheng suddenly said.
Everyone looked at him, and Zhang Xianling frowned even more impatiently: "Master Cheng, what else do you think?"
Master Cheng stood up, walked to Zhu Nian's side, pointed his finger at her and said viciously: "You said that all this is not about Tianxiang Pavilion, but whether it is the cook or your stepmother, which one has nothing to do with Tianxiang Pavilion?"
Zhu Nian chuckled disdainfully, does this old man think his son is losing?
"Huh. Zhu Nian said unhurriedly: "Master Cheng, first of all, Tao, she is my stepmother, and she does have a relationship with me, but this relationship is only limited to identity, and she is not from our Tianxiang Pavilion; ”
"You!" Master Cheng flicked his sleeves. Zhu Nian's words made him feel angry, but he couldn't find anything wrong.
And when Ling Wu heard the word "expelled", his body trembled, and his eyes were dyed gray.
"Master Cheng, are you still dissatisfied with anything?" asked Zhang Xianling.
"......" Master Cheng stared at Zhu Nian viciously, then turned around and returned to his seat: "Hmph!"
"Well, that's the case, that's for the best. Zhang Xianling finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he shouted sharply: "Come on, put Tao and Ling Wu in prison, and obey Faluo!"
"Yes!" came out of the four officials, and went to hold Tao and Ling Wu respectively.
Ling Wu has been silent, but Tao Shi has been struggling, and has been shouting: "My lord, I am wronged!
As the voice completely disappeared, Zhang Xianling walked down and personally helped Zhu Nian up.
"Miss Zhu, I've made you suffer. ”
"It doesn't matter. Zhu Nian said with a smile.
At this time, although the Cheng couple still had grievances, they had nothing to do, and the two left the yamen silently.
"Miss!"
"Miss!"
Red Candle and Fuyue squeezed out of the crowd and ran to Zhu Nian's side.
"Why are you two here too?" asked Zhu Nian.
"Miss, you have all been invited to the yamen, how can Fu Yue and I stay at home in peace?" replied Red Candle.
"Yes, miss. We came with Okawa. "Fuyue should be peaceful.
"Isn't that okay with me?" Zhu Nian smiled, "Okay, let's go home?"
After speaking, she turned around and nodded to Zhang Xianling, turned around and walked out of the yamen.
For a while, the story of the vicious stepmother Tao and the owner of Tianxiang Pavilion Zhu began to circulate in the capital again.
Inside the Biyan Pavilion.
Bai Lian knelt on the ground, and her words were cautious, but she still angered Zhu Yanran.
"What? My mother was put in prison by Zhu Xinnian!" Zhu Yanran was so angry that she waved her long sleeves and swept all the teapots and cups on the wooden table to the ground.
"Miss is angry!" said Bai Lian tremblingly.
"How do you tell me to calm my anger? My mother is in prison!" Zhu Yanran pointed to Bai Lian's nose and scolded.
"There must be a way, Miss, calm down first!"
"Solution... Solution!" Zhu Yanran pressed her temples with both hands, forcing herself to calm down.
"Bai Lian, you go and find Uncle Tang first!" Zhu Yanran said.
"Yes. "Bai Lian has long wanted to escape from the terrifying Biyan Pavilion, and her movements are extremely fast.
At the time of a cup of tea, Steward Tang came to Biyan Pavilion under the leadership of Bai Lian.
"Second Miss!" said Steward Tang as he knelt on the ground.
"Uncle Tang, you get up first. Zhu Yanran didn't care about any etiquette, and hurriedly helped Steward Tang up.
"Uncle Tang, you should also know about my mother's imprisonment, but what is the way for my mother to come out?" Zhu Yanran asked.
"This..."Uncle Tang hesitated for a moment, and then said, "The state has national laws, and this matter is quite noisy, and I am helpless now." ”
"Then, what should I do!" Zhu Yanran wanted to cry in frustration.
"Second Miss, don't be too sad. Steward Tang comforted, "Now we are on the cusp of the storm, and we are thinking of a way to do it after a while." ”
"Okay. Zhu Yanran sat down on the chair and said.
The next day, Zhu Nian returned to the official mansion, gave Zhang County ten taels of silver, and released Ling Wu.
Ling Wu followed the two officials to the back door of the official mansion, and the officials said to him, "Let's go" and turned to leave.
Ling Wu raised his eyes to the side of the back door and saw Zhu Nian, who had been waiting there for a long time.
"Miss!" Ling Wu bowed his head and said humbly.
"Hmm. Zhu Nian replied lightly.
She took the prepared twenty taels of silver from Cai Ning behind her and handed it to Ling Wu.
"Miss, this is!" Ling Wu was excited and surprised.
"Here you go. Zhu Nian said
"Miss, I can't accept it!" Ling Wu wanted to return the silver to Zhu Nian, but Zhu Nian refused.
Such a large sum of money, even if he doesn't go out to work in the future, it is enough for Ling Wu to eat and drink well for a lifetime, how dare he accept it.
"You don't have to thank me first, let alone give it back to me. Zhu Nian said, "I rescued you, it doesn't mean that I forgive you." ”
She paused and continued, "This is what I promised you before, not for you, for your mother's medical treatment. ”
"Miss!" Ling Wuyi couldn't say anything.
"Tianxiang Pavilion doesn't accept useless people, you are not good at cooking, and you do this kind of thing that damages its reputation, and you can't keep it anymore in the future. Zhu Nian said resolutely.
Hearing this, Ling Wu had mixed feelings in his heart, and he was even more reluctant.
"You take this money, first cure your mother's illness, and then concentrate on learning a craft. Zhu Nian said, "In the future, you can do it yourself." ”
Zhu Nian turned around and said as he left: "Maybe one day, when you return from your studies, Tianxiang Pavilion can also consider keeping you." ”
Ling Wu looked at Zhu Nian's back as he gradually faded away, and his eyes went from tears to tears.
Zhu Nian returned to the bamboo garden and sat on the swing next to the locust tree, while the red candle has been silently guarding her.
This afternoon, Zhu Nian had a lot of thoughts and thought a lot.
From now on, she and Tao's mother and daughter have completely turned their faces, but she doesn't care.
What she thought about the most was the future of Tianxiang Pavilion.
After this catastrophe, although the Tao family has been imprisoned, the reputation of Tianxiang Pavilion will definitely be greatly damaged because of this trouble.
She had to think of a way to remedy it, save the reputation of Tianxiang Pavilion, and even go to the next level.
