As a person who is not very particular about clothing, Xia Shuanghan, like her father and younger brother, seeks to dress concisely and elegantly, clean and comfortable on weekdays. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info so if it weren't for making clothes for Lu Shaoyun, then Xia Shuanghan himself would not have stepped into a store like "Baiwei Jin", which specializes in selling high-end goods purchased from Jiangnan.

Stepping through the door, she selected the fabric on the first floor, sat down on the second floor, and then waited for the shopkeeper to take out the treasures at the bottom of the box for display, and Xia Shuanghan, who had no interest, soon showed the token given to her by Zhuo Feifei and asked to settle the bill.

"Yo, I think you're Miss Xia here, right?" The shopkeeper, who still has some knowledge of the friends made by the owner, took the token handed by Xia Shuanghan and carefully inspected it, and the standardized hospitality smile on his face instantly brought a bit of respect.

"Miss Xia, guests who come to buy items with tokens need to sign a separate account book to facilitate the owner's audit in the future, so can you please go with me to the second floor and make a payment in that account book?"

The moment he entered the store, while raising his eyes and looking around the store, he took Lu Ruqian, who was walking upstairs with his sister-in-law Tan and his two sisters, into the Xia Shuanghan in his eyes, and he really didn't want to go up to the second floor. But now that the shopkeeper has said so, she has no choice but to go upstairs with her.

With the cloth that had been wrapped and the shopkeeper came to the top of the stairs with a gentle "creaky quack", accepted the invitation of the shopkeeper, and soon sat down at the small table Xia Shuanghan, and after a while, he was recognized by Lu Ruqian, who was sitting not far from her.

On the second floor, there are three private rooms for individual receptions, and a small storeroom with the finest fabrics, and four small round tables are placed in a relatively open reception space.

After following the shopkeeper upstairs, and taking a seat at the small table closest to the staircase, Xia Shuanghan, who was waiting to open the lock and enter the small storeroom, came out with the ledger, and soon attracted the attention of the guests at the two small tables on the other side of the window because of his appearance and temperament that did not match the "honorable and wealthy guests".

"Yo, who am I? It turned out to be my future fifth sister-in-law? Why, fierce and rude, you, who came from a poor Hanlin family, will also have the money to patronize such a storefront? ”

Unlike the Tan family and his two sisters, Lu Ruqian, who also had lingering palpitations in her heart because of the events of the plum banquet, but the thoughts in her heart that were against Xia Shuanghan had not been completely extinguished, and she slowly stepped over with a disdainful and disdainful expression.

"Lu Ruqian, you shouldn't have a problem, right?" Raising her eyes to look at Lu Ruqian, who had only grown to the height of her chest, Xia Shuanghan, who was still about the same height as her even when she was sitting, felt extremely ridiculous and disgusted by her meaningless and purely troublesome behavior.

"You have a limited amount of money a month, there is a fixed number, food, clothing, housing and transportation have to follow the rules, a surplus copper plate has not earned for yourself Mao girl to ask me if I have any money? I don't know that there should be a limit to the thickness of the sky. I thought that when I could earn enough of your monthly money for a whole year with a painting, you were still crying in the arms of the nurse! ”

"You ......" thought that her words had poked at Xia Shuanghan's sore spot, but now Lu Ruqian, who was counterattacked completely beyond her expectations, stared at her.

"What are you, don't point fingers and poke at me here, it's simply uneducated."

Raised her hand and slapped the finger that Lu Ruqian pointed to the door in front of her, and waited for Xia Shuanghan, who was the shopkeeper who walked out of the warehouse with the account book, and took the paper and pen that was slightly stunned because of the small dispute in front of her, and then once again put on a decent smile The shopkeeper handed her the pen and paper, and then signed her name under the handwriting that recorded when she came to buy something.

"Wait a minute." As a regular customer who patronizes "Baiwei Jin" all the year round, only the guests of the proprietor's house can sign this account book, and then buy the goods at cost price, Lu Ruqian still knows. So, she was jealous of Xia Shuanghan's such treatment, but she didn't have it, so even if she took two steps forward, she blocked Xia Shuanghan, who wanted to leave.

Xia Shuanghan, who returned the signed account book to the shopkeeper along with the wolf, picked up his cloth and stood up, shook his head helplessly in the face of Lu Ruqian's question, "You can sign that account book, why can't I as the fifth brother's sister".

"The owner of this store, Zhuo Feifei, is an out-and-out 'money string', even if his own brother comes to buy something, it is just a matter of giving them a 20% discount, you should know, right? So, why do you think that you, who are just the younger sister of the owner's family, can enjoy the cost price discount as a matter of course? It's still the same sentence, I don't know that there should be a limit to the thickness of the sky. ”

"What about you? You say I don't know how high the sky is, how did you enjoy such treatment? Lu Ruqian, who was angry and unrelenting, was slapped by Xia Shuanghan on the back of her hand, but instead of repenting, she became more and more dissatisfied and jealous in her heart.

"I don't know why I get this treatment, but I know very well why you can't get it."

Stretched out his hand to hold Lu Ruqian's thin shoulders and pushed her aside, opening the way to the stairs for herself, Xia Shuanghan, without looking back: "Because you are arrogant and uneducated, and you think that everyone in this world should revolve around you, so it is really normal for you to be treated as a guest of honor if you are so annoying." ”

Lu Ruqian, who has been pampered since she was a child, and has long been indulged by the Xu family, when has she ever been scolded for such heavy words? So, with a red face in anger, he aimed at her who walked to the back of Xia Shuanghan at the top of the stairs, and when he raised his hand, he ran towards her quickly.

I always knew that Lu Ruqian was a spoiled girl, but I didn't know that Xia Shuanghan, who had such a vicious heart at a young age, was really surprised when she heard the footsteps coming from behind her and wanted to push her downstairs: "What does this girl have to be used to on weekdays to dare to do such a thing?" ”

Subsequently, when Xia Shuanghan, who was thinking about electricity, heard that after Fang Cai took the account books and brushes she handed back, he turned around and returned to the small warehouse to place the account books, and then walked out of the door again, and after the warning sound of "Miss Xia, be careful" to her, she could have easily avoided Lu Ruqian's push, and at the same time, Xia Shuanghan, who was able to prevent her from going downstairs, made up her mind to teach the Lu family's daughters a lesson.

"Lu Ruqian, since you don't take human life as a matter at a young age, then you will bear the bitter fruit of going downstairs! There are also the two sisters of Tan and Lu Ruqian, since the shopkeeper can speak out to remind me, but you maintain the mentality of gloating and watching a good show, I can't wait to see Lu Ruqian push me downstairs who dare not speak up, so you can take care of the crime of not taking care of it yourself! ”

Quietly made up her mind in her heart, Xia Shuanghan, who had already stepped to the top of the stairs, just before Lu Ruqian, who raised her hands and rushed towards her, really touched her, her heels flashed over.

Lu Ruqian, who had a resentful expression on her face one moment and wanted Xia Shuanghan to die, and the next moment she was in the air because of her quick dodge, even with a panicked, frightened and incredulous expression, her eyes and mouth wide open, and she rolled downstairs with a scream.

Lu Ruqian, who stumbled all the way down the stairs and then stopped on the platform at the corner of the stairs, directly hit the thick wall. After the muffled sound of "bang", Lu Ruqian, who was lying on the ground on all fours, was silent.

It is very clear that if he hadn't dodged it, then he would be lying on the staircase below with his head bleeding now, and he could only get help from the shopkeeper, and even Xia Shuanghan, who had to endure the hearty laughter from the bottom of his heart by the four ladies of the Lu family, even if Lu Ruqian died in front of her like this, there would be no wavering or soft-heartedness.

So, with a calm expression, he walked downstairs with the cloth in his hand, and indifferently stepped over Xia Shuanghan, who was stunned by Lu Ruqian's body on the ground, and just ignored the three Lu family ladies upstairs, as if they found that the sky had fallen, and walked steadily to the hospitality hall under the stairs.

The noisy and shouting on weekdays has not stopped, and panicking at a critical moment is useless, if the three women of the Lu family who screamed non-stop had it not for the shopkeeper to tell the guy to go to the doctor as an emergency measure, I don't know how long Lu Ruqian, who could not be treated, would have to lie on the staircase.

Xia Shuanghan, who walked downstairs with a calm and calm expression, walked downstairs like this, completely ignoring the guys and guests in the lobby on the first floor, and came to the gate of the silk village under the gaze of their shocked or frightened, but obviously written "can cross over a person with a bleeding head as usual, such a person must be hard-hearted".

The guy who hurriedly ran out to ask for a doctor had already rushed out of the store and disappeared before Xia Shuanghan walked downstairs. A certain brightly dressed lady who walked in at this time finally ordered her entourage to stop Xia Shuanghan, who had already stepped out of the store and turned over and was ready to go home, at the door of the store.

As Xia Shuanghan thought about it, as the eldest sister-in-law who came to buy cloth with several sisters-in-law, the Tan family must be responsible for the personal safety of the three sisters-in-law.

Now, seeing that Lu Ruqian, who is Xu's favorite child, just hit her head on the wall and broke her bloodstream, I don't know if her injuries will be life-threatening, even if it is not life-threatening, it will cause sequelae, and even if there are no sequelae, it will cause disfigurement Tan Shi, facing such an unexpected situation related to Lu Ruqian's life and death and lifelong events, she was frightened in an instant, her limbs were cold, and she was in a cold sweat.

"No, no, I can't afford to take care of the crime, the reason why Qian'er fell down the stairs must be pushed all on Xia Shuanghan's head."

In a hurry, he was so silent in his heart, seeing that the shopkeeper instructed the guys to lift Lu Ruqian, who was blood-red on his forehead, and carry it to a vacant private room on the second floor, the Tan family had the idea of preventing Xia Shuanghan from leaving the silk village.

The two sisters-in-law beside him were already frightened, and they were completely useless; As a woman with bound feet, she can't compete with Xia Shuanghan, who has shallow martial arts; The shopkeeper and the guys in the store regarded Xia Shuanghan, who had not pushed Lu Ruqian, as the guest of honor of the host, and it was impossible for them to rush forward to block her way; The rest of the people in the whole shop who watched the excitement had no responsibility or obligation to get involved in this matter.

So, for a while, Tan, who only felt that he had no way to ask for help, was really anxious and about to cry the moment he saw Xia Shuanghan cross the threshold. It's just that fortunately, the appearance of Princess Xie of Xiangyang, who happened to patronize the "Hundred Kinds of Brocade" at this moment, was like a suddenly lit lamp, pointing out the next path for her.

So, the Tan family, who only thought that he had seen the savior for a while, leaned out by the guardrail on the second floor and shouted to the Xie family standing in the lobby downstairs: "Princess, my Qian'er was just pushed down from the second floor by a fierce Hu woman, and directly hit the wall at the corner of the stairs, and hit her head and broke her blood. Now that the murderous woman has absconded in fear of crime, she has gone out of this storefront, and I hope that you can help me to arrest her immediately, Princess. ”

As Xu's handkerchief, he was instantly shocked when he heard the news of Lu Ruqian's injury, and when he followed the information told by Tan that "the Hu woman had the fabric she just bought, she passed by the princess and walked out with a swagger", and immediately turned around and ordered his entourage guards to hurry up to arrest Xie Shi, and then lifted the hem of her skirt and went to the second floor of the silk village as fast as possible.

Outside the door of the store, holding the new cloth she had just bought, Xia Shuanghan, who had already turned over and was about to go to her house, had not had time to pull the reins and turn the horse's head, and several men dressed as guards with swords on their waists suddenly rushed out to block her way.

"You, a fierce woman who hurts people, dare to abscond by pushing the noble daughter of the family down the stairs? Why don't you get off the horse quickly and go with me to meet my princess Xiangyang!" ”

Even if he didn't meet Su Yixing in the Chen family's hot spring villa a few days ago, and then listened to Lu Shaoyun casually talk to her about the Xiangyang Palace, the matter that the Xiangyang Princess Xie was handed over by the Xu family's handkerchief, Xia Shuanghan had known about it a long time ago.

So, in the face of this elder who suddenly came out and wanted to ask for an explanation for his junior, he only felt that the Xie family, who was stubborn and self-serving, was completely boring Xia Shuanghan, and even showed a mocking smile.

"The "Great Xia Law" clearly stipulates that all disputes between ordinary good citizens that do not endanger the interests of the Jiangshan community and more than 10 good citizens, including life lawsuits, shall first be handed over to the local parents for trial. If there is any dissatisfaction after the verdict is made, they can appeal to the higher-level officials, or entrust their relatives to go directly to the yamen of the Criminal Department in the capital to submit the complaint. ”

"Several guards of the royal palace, may I ask you, or your princess, is any of you an official in the Jingzhao Yin Yamen or the Criminal Department Yamen? Not at all! Then what qualifications do you have to stop me from being a slave or a slave but a good citizen? If you have something to say, please immediately find a lawyer to write a complaint and go to Jingzhao Yin Yamen to beat the drum and voice your grievances. Otherwise, I will fight with you to break the bloodstream, and I must not be taken away by you at will. ”

Xia Shuanghan, who was ready to face the several guards in front of her, was reluctant to step off the horse and go to the store to make it clear to Xie Shi because she thought in her heart that the woman who could make friends with Xu would only be like Xu, who would indiscriminately and blindly protect her shortcomings.

"Reasoning with people who don't make sense at all, I only do this when my brain is in water. Today's question is right and wrong, with the testimony of the shopkeeper of the Silk Village, Grandpa Lu, who knows right from wrong, will naturally let me be fair. In that case, why should I waste my energy here, and here I am talking for a long time with a nosy woman who is not a Dingguo Mansion at all, and a dog and a mouse are nosy? ”

Thinking like this in her heart, Xia Shuanghan, who had already made up her mind that "as long as the person in front of her played with her, she would directly spill all the medicinal powder in her sleeve, and then ride her horse and whip away", but in the end, she didn't wait for the opportunity to let her do it. Because, Su Yixing, who is the prince of Xiangyang Wangfu and the servant of the criminal department, appeared.

Su Yixing, who was just passing by this street in a carriage and inadvertently glanced out through the window of the car that had been lifted by the wind, but the moment he saw Xia Shuanghan confronting his own guards, he ordered the coachman to stop the carriage.

"She, she should be the Hu person I saw in the hot spring villa a few days ago, following Lu Shaoyun's side, right? Why is it that he is not a man, but a woman? Or are they just looking alike, not the same person? ”

Su Yixing, who was sitting in the carriage and staring at Xia Shuanghan's face, fell into contemplation, thinking for a moment, and finally after hearing Xia Shuanghan's words about "Da Xia Law", with a hint of interest, he stepped out of the carriage and came to her.

"As you say, neither the mere guards, nor the princesses, who are not serving in the court, are in a position to arrest you for interrogation. So as a court official of the Criminal Department, I am always qualified to ask about this matter, right? (To be continued.) )
