Zhu Nian returned to the bamboo garden and met Mama Xu, who came to greet her. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since Mama Xu was rescued by Zhu Nian last time, she has been staying in the bamboo garden to recuperate from her injuries, and her muscles and bones have been moving for a hundred days, so her body is gradually healing now.

'Miss!' Mama Xu wanted to bow down to Zhu Nian, but was stopped by Zhu Nian.

"Mama Xu, I can't help it!" Zhu Nian took Mama Xu's hand and said, "You were injured for me, how can you salute me." ”

"Miss is the master, and it is a natural thing for the slave to bow to the master!" Mama Xu sighed.

"In my place, there are not so many rules, Mama, you can live a good life in my yard in the future. Zhu Nian gently patted Mama Xu's shoulder to show comfort.

After speaking, she instructed the girl to send Mama Xu back to the room, and went back to the north wing by herself.

Mama Xu looked back at Zhu Nian's back as she walked, and her eyes were filled with tears of emotion.

About an hour later, Zhu Nian, who was sitting in the house drinking tea, heard a rustling sound outside the door, and she looked up in the direction of the door.

He Dachuan held Ling Wu in one hand and pushed the door open with the other: "Go in!"

"Oops!" Ling Wu was thrown into the room by He Dachuan, grinning in pain.

Before Ling Wu saw Zhu Nian, he stood up, grabbed his other sprained wrist with one hand, and looked at He Dachuan with a frown: "Who are you?

"I'm the one who caught you here!" Zhu Nian put down the teacup and said faintly from behind Ling Wu.

Ling Wu was startled by the sudden sound behind him, he turned around suddenly, his eyes widened when he saw Zhu Nian, and he immediately knelt on the ground.

"Big ...... Miss!" Ling Wu stammered.

"You should know why I arrested you today!" Zhu Nian sneered.

"Miss Hui, Ling Wu doesn't know the reason!" Ling Wu had already guessed seven or eight points in his heart, but he was still a dead duck.

"Don't know?" Zhu Nian stood up, half-squatted down in front of Ling Wu, and looked directly into Ling Wu's eyes, "Then let me tell you!"

Ling Wu lowered his head and didn't speak, his whole body trembling.

"I ask you, why did you secretly swap out the supply of ingredients in Tianxiang Pavilion!" Zhu Nian scolded sharply.

Ling Wu refused to admit it: "Miss, I have already told you, it has nothing to do with me at this time, probably Shi Yuxuan's side deceived us." ”

"It has nothing to do with you?" Zhu Nian chuckled, "If it really has nothing to do with you, why did you run?"

"I!" Ling Wu had nothing to say, he knew that he had been captured by He Dachuan from the courtyard where Tao had sent him.

"I'll tell you the truth, as soon as you came out of Tianxiang Pavilion just now, I asked Da Chuan to secretly follow you, so I already have a clear grasp of that little matter between you and the Tao family!" Zhu Nian said.

"You!" Ling Wuda was taken aback: "You dare to send someone to follow me!"

"Why don't you dare?" Zhu Nian asked with a smile.

Ling Wu tilted his head to the side in annoyance, not looking at Zhu Nian's eyes.

Unexpectedly, he took every precaution, but in the end, he was still a hundred secrets, and he actually let Zhu Xinnian grasp the handle.

"Now that you know everything, why do you want to arrest me?" Ling Wu asked.

"Why?" Zhu Nian stood up and sat back on the wooden chair, "Now that there are fewer and fewer guests in Tianxiang Pavilion, I have to give everyone an explanation!"

"Ling Wu, there is actually one more thing I don't understand. Zhu Nian looked at Ling Wu and asked, "Tianxiang Pavilion treats you well, how can you help the Tao Clan do something that damages the reputation of Tianxiang Pavilion?"

Hearing this, Ling Wu lowered his head weakly.

"Just because she's your distant aunt?" Zhu Nian pressed step by step.

"That's not the case!" Ling Wu suddenly raised his head and said in a loud voice.

Zhu Nian's eyes flashed, and it seemed that there was a breakthrough.

"Oh? What is that?"

"I ......" Ling Wu hesitated, but still refused to say it.

"This matter is related to the reputation of our Tianxiang Pavilion, if you don't want to say it, I will have no choice but to sue you to the official government, and the official government will adjudicate this matter!" Zhu Nian stared at Ling Wu with cold eyes, threatening him.

"Huh?" Ling Wu raised his head nervously, "By all means, I can't go to jail!"

"Do something wrong and still refuse to go to jail?" Zhu Nian smiled and mocked Ling Wudao, "Ling Wu, in fact, I think you are quite pitiful. ”

"Hmph, even if I go to the official mansion, my aunt will save me!" Ling Wu said.

Zhu Nian stood up and slowly walked to He Dachuan's side: "You are so stupid, you were sold by Tao and helped her count the money!" ”

"What are you talking about!" Ling Wu was embarrassed by Zhu Nian's words.

Zhu Nian said lightly: "Think about it, if you really go to the official mansion, who is the one who loses the most?"

Ling Wu looked puzzled and looked at Zhu Nian in confusion.

"Hehe, should I say that you are naïve, or should I call you stupid?" Zhu Nian mocked unreservedly, "No matter who wins or loses in this lawsuit, it is a fact that you forged purchase documents, if the government really wants to condemn a person, then who else can this person be besides you?"

"......" Ling Wuyi had nothing to say for a while, and when he reacted, he retorted loudly, "If that's the case, then my aunt will definitely find a way to save me!"

"Oh, I still saved you?" Zhu Nian sneered and taunted Ling Wu, "Who do you think you are?"

Zhu Nian bit out the word "far away" heavily, "Tao Yueshan will not put herself on for you! I think you know her character very well." ”

Zhu Nian slowly walked to Ling Wu's side and said condescendingly: "Tao can be sure that you are filling your own pockets and embezzling ill-gotten gains!

Zhu Nian's words reached Ling Wu's heart, he was very scared in his heart, and kept shaking his head and muttering to himself: "What should I do, what should I do!"

"So, can you tell me the ins and outs of this matter now?" Zhu Nian struck while the iron was hot and said to Ling Wu.

Hearing the sound above his head, Ling Wu raised his head suddenly, moved his knees on the ground a few steps forward, and grabbed the hem of Zhu Nian's skirt: "Help me!

"Then it's up to you. Zhu Nian said motionlessly.

"Okay, I'll say!" Ling Wu nodded and said, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Half a month ago, my mother was seriously ill, and I spent almost all my savings to treat her illness. In desperation, I had to go to Steward Tang and my aunt to borrow money, but they wouldn't lend it to me!"

Speaking of this, Ling Wu let go of Zhu Nian's skirt and sat down on the ground dejectedly: "Steward Tang brought me to my aunt, and my aunt said that I would help her do something, and after the matter is completed, she can give me thirty percent of the property."

Ling Wu's mind suddenly became sober at this time: he was eager to save his mother, which led to the ghost being obsessed and aiding in abuse. Now think about it, if Tao really had affection for him, how could he let his mother fall ill and not lend him money.

It's ridiculous to think that he was still touched by his aunt's friendship for him at that time!

"The 'one thing' you are talking about, is to secretly change suppliers?" Zhu Nian interrupted Ling Wu's thoughts.

"Yes. Ling Wu lowered his head in shame, "I was a ghost at the beginning, so I was used by my aunt!"

He raised his head, with hope in his eyes, and his voice was a little choked: "Miss, please help me! I have no father since I was a child, and I have always been raised by my mother with hard work, and now her illness is not cured, I can't go to prison!"

Hearing the sincerity in Ling Wu's voice, Zhu Nian pursed his lips, and there was a trace of emotion in his heart.

"The Tao clan has damaged my reputation of Tianxiang Pavilion, I must sue her to the government and give the guests an explanation!" Zhu Nian said.

Ling Wu instantly felt discouraged, and for the first time realized what it meant to eat the consequences of self-inflicted evil.

"However," Zhu Nian looked at Ling Wu again and raised his eyebrows, "I have some friendship with the county magistrate, if you are willing to help me testify in court and identify Tao Yueshan, I have a way to rescue you from it, and I can also give you money to see a doctor for your mother." ”

Ling Wu was moved, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart, but he still asked, "Why should I believe you?"

You must know that although Tao is just a distant aunt of his, Zhu Xinnian has nothing to do with him.

"I've always said one thing and the other!" Zhu Nian said loudly, she glanced at Ling Wu again, "Besides, do you have any other choice?"

Hearing Zhu Nian's answer, Ling Wu fell backwards weakly and sat down on the ground.

He thought about it again and again, and finally said firmly: "Okay, I'll help you testify!"

Think of it as him atoning for Tianxiang Pavilion and accumulating some virtue for his mother!

"Good. Zhu Nian finally smiled easily, she cast a look at He Dachuan and motioned for him to take Ling Wu out.

"Don't go back recently, stay in Dachuan's room honestly, and avoid any extraneous branches. After that, Zhu Nian looked at He Dachuan again, "Dachuan, take him down." ”

"Yes. He Dachuan replied.

"Then what about my mother?" Ling Wu was a little worried, how would his mother live without his care.

"I will send someone to ask a doctor to see your mother, and I will send a few girls to help you take care of her for a while. Zhu Nian replied.

Tears flickered in Ling Wu's eyes, and he choked up and said, "Thank you, Miss." ”

He Dachuan took Ling Wu to the East Wing.
