Chapter 117: Evidence
Because she couldn't wait for Wang Hibiscus, Yuzhu asked the little girl of the Feng family to wait in place and sent Wang Hibiscus to the carriage. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Before leaving, Wang Jian and Li Mingqian agreed to meet in Tingfeng Tower two days later.
On the way home, the sound of the carriage running was particularly clear and loud in the silent night.
Behind the carriage, a figure on horseback was not far away, and she did not leave until she arrived safely.
********************************************
After Mingzhu returned home, Mrs. Zhu entered her room.
Yuzhu removed her hair for her, and was about to help her get her hair, when the comb in her hand was taken over by Mrs. Zhu, who combed her daughter's hair gently and carefully.
Mingzhu saw her in the mirror and couldn't help but be surprised: "Mother? What are you doing here? ”
"Why, my mother can't come to see you yet?" Mrs. Zhu said angrily, paused and asked, "Mingzhu, it seems that Jin'er is standing next to you today?" ”
Mingzhu's face froze, and she smiled reluctantly for a while: "Well, it's her." ”
Mrs. Zhu frowned: "She came to find you?" ”
"I met her on the street a few days ago," Mingzhu said with her head slightly down, "She heard that I was going to Feng's house for a wedding banquet today, so she asked me to bring her." ”
"This girl really has a lot of eyes!" Mrs. Zhu sneered and said, "The Feng family is also the richest family in Yangzhou, and there must be many rich sons among the guests who go, she is using you as a cutter, and wants to take the opportunity to catch a golden beetle son-in-law!" ”
"Mother, Jin'er, she's not as bad as you think..."Mingzhu whispered.
"You're just too soft-hearted, thin-skinned, she didn't care about her last time she deliberately pushed you into the water, and she begged you in a hurry, there must be nothing good, you will avoid her more in the future." Mrs. Zhu nodded her head and admonished.
"But now she's not a serious lady, and even if she goes, no one will look at her squarely." Mrs. Zhu sneered, "A country girl, do you still want to fly out of the chicken coop as a golden phoenix?" ”
"But..."Mingzhu pursed her lips, and couldn't hide her sadness in her tone, "I see that Li Gongzi is very interested in her." ”
"Huh!" Mrs. Zhu raised the corners of her mouth and sneered, "It's just that she still has a little color, I'm afraid that this freshness has already passed, otherwise it wouldn't be a matter of the Li family to take her into the house!" ”
Mingzhu's expression became more and more gloomy: "I'm afraid that Li Gongzi doesn't want her to be small!" ”
"How is this possible?!" Mrs. Zhu understood what she meant, and exclaimed, "How many official ladies he doesn't look down on, would marry such a wild girl?" ”
"Jin'er and the young lady of the Ruan family are good friends, and even the cousin of the eldest prince Li has a close personal relationship with her." Mingzhu smiled bitterly, "How could she go to make someone small." ”
"I didn't expect her to have such ambitions and means." Mrs. Zhu frowned and said with a deep face.
Thinking that Li Mingqian has not married yet, and there is no news about the marriage at all, even Mrs. Li San, who should be the most anxious, has not seen any action, she can't help but think again.
Did you really fall in love with this girl? No, she can't be allowed to go over the pearl.
Mrs. Zhu's eyes became more and more fierce, and her thoughts turned sharply, and she had an idea.
"Don't worry, even if we can't get along with the Li family, my mother will never let the daughter of the Chen family be a head above you!" Mrs. Zhu patted Mingzhu's shoulder and said in a resolute tone.
Mingzhu's eyes flashed slightly, thinking about the scene in the back garden, and her heart was both happy and expectant.
It's also a loss of honor, you don't care about me, but you broke the hands of Nie Gongzi, who despised Wang Jin, it's really eccentric.
It's just that it's so easy to get your wish, I really can't swallow this breath.
She thought silently, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and her smile was full of coldness.

When Mrs. Zhu returned to the room, Zhu Ming had just finished bathing and was drying his hair by Yahuan.
Mrs. Zhu took the towel and waved her hand to the people below, and soon there were only two of them in the room.
"What's the matter?" Although Zhu Ming closed his eyes, he knew the movement in the house, and knew that his wife must have something, so he was a little lazy.
Mrs. Zhu smiled and said, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from my master, this is really a bit of a problem." ”
"Say it." Zhu Ming was in a good mood today, although he was already sleepy at this time, he still listened to her patiently.
"The master has been quite close to the Li family recently, I want to visit Mrs. Li San again, I don't know if it's appropriate. Look, sir..."Mrs. Zhu asked softly.
"Is it for Mingzhu's marriage?" Zhu Ming said.
"I know that the master said before that there is no need to force it, but if this thing can be done, it will not only fulfill our daughter's wishes, but also have an in-law who can rely on it, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone, so I want to go to Mrs. Li San's to find out again." Mrs. Zhu hurriedly explained, "Besides, the previous falling into the water was not deliberately pushed by Jin'er, and we can't blame Mingzhu, if we give up such a good marriage because of this, we Mingzhu will suffer too much!" ”
Zhu Ming did not speak.
During this time, he had several business dealings with Li Mingqian, and he admired his decisiveness, wisdom and long-term vision. If he can have such a son-in-law, he will naturally be very satisfied.
But...
"Didn't you say that Li Gongzi had some thoughts about Jin'er?" He opened his eyes and said with a slight frown.
Mrs. Zhu's eyes rolled slightly, and she said with a smile: "Hey, Jin'er is really good-looking, young people, who is not good at this color." But if it is a parent, the Li family will definitely look down on it. ”
As she spoke, she leaned over Zhu Ming's ear and whispered, and finally looked forward to it, "What does the master think of this?" ”
Zhu Ming pondered, nodded and said, "You can go to Zhang Luo for this matter, but you have to take care of it well, so as not to have no room for turning around in the future." ”
Mrs. Zhu said happily: "Don't worry, master, I have always been safe in handling things!" ”
********************************
Two days later, Wang Jin arrived at Tingfeng Tower as promised.
The two sat down, and Li Mingqian waved his hand at Suixing and said, "Let's start." ”
Sui Xing nodded, and brought in a man in his thirties from outside.
The man's demeanor was very respectful and measured, and he saluted Li Mingqian: "The villain Li Liang has seen the eldest son." ”
"Well, let's take a look at everything you've found." Li Mingqian said.
"Yes." The man nodded in response, "The day before yesterday, the little guy next to Nie Qing went to the pharmacy to dispense medicine, and on the way back, I arranged for someone to snatch his medicine, beat him, and then came forward to rescue him and re-dispense him with medicine." The little guy was very grateful to me, and I said that it was not easy for him to do his errand, and I was very sympathetic, and when I saw that he was injured, I took the initiative to send him back. The little guy on the road poured bitter water on me and said that the master was injured and had a bad temper, and that he, the person who served him closely, must be the first to suffer. I asked him how he got hurt. The little guy didn't seem to know, only said that he went out to drink wine the night before, and the master drank too much and he took it to the backyard garden to breathe the air, and then a maid came over and said that there were several sons gathered in the pavilion to drink and chat, let the master also pass, and told him that he didn't want anyone to wait over there to let him rest. By the time he found his master again, he was already injured. I asked him who the girl was, and he said he didn't know, but he remembered that he was wearing a green dress. I asked him why he had taken his master to the back garden, and he said that during the feast, a kind maid had reminded him and told him to go through the side door so that no one would find out. Because his master's wine is not very good, and it is easy to look foreign when he drinks too much, and he was quite grateful to this girl at that time. I asked him if he was the only one who reminded him, and he said that the girl had left after speaking, and he had not seen him again in the front yard. In addition, the two rings are not the same person. ”
"Well, this thing is well done, you can go down." Li Ming said, and the man retreated.
He and Wang Jin were the only ones left in the room sitting quietly opposite each other. (To be continued.) )
