It was already early for Deng Yongming to return home, and after entering the study, he could no longer hide the anxiety in his heart, because he knew that his expedient measures would not last long, so he could only sigh and sigh constantly. He can hand over the silk village that he has worked hard for most of his life, but he can't let himself be imprisoned for crimes, because without his own care, the Deng family will soon be shattered and left to be a mermaid. "Alas! What about Kerr? Zhao'er is still young! Tian Huaying, this thief is really vicious! He kept pacing back and forth, but he still couldn't think about it, and finally made up his mind. It really doesn't work, and that's the only way to go. Then he heard a knock on the door.

"Sir, may I come in?" Madame Jingniang said softly.

"Oh, Jing Niang, come in." Deng Yongming cleaned up his mood and said calmly.

"Master, what happened today? Why did the county lord send someone to summon you? Mrs. Jingniang's eyes were slightly red, and her appearance was a little haggard, obviously worried for a long time.

Deng Yongming comforted: "It's nothing, Lord County asked me something." He hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "Jing Niang, we haven't returned to Yong'an's hometown to worship our ancestors for a long time, you take Ke'er and Zhao'er over first in the past few days, and I'll deal with the matter at hand and rush over later." ”

Mrs. Jingniang just breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately became nervous again, holding the silk handkerchief nervously in her hand and asked in a trembling voice: "Master, is the matter very serious?" ”

Deng Yongming sighed and said helplessly: "Jing Niang, I'll tell you the truth." Some time ago, a thief snatched the deed of our family's silk village, and today someone falsely accused me of forcibly occupying Liu Xicai's shop. Unfortunately, a few days ago, the county government caught fire and burned the evidence left at that time, and the Chinese who made the covenant flatly denied it. Therefore, the husband can only say that the contract is in Yong'an's hometown in the south, and he has won a few days, so that your mother and son can escape this catastrophe. ”

When Mrs. Jingniang heard this, tears came down and she cried out loud. Deng Yongming also knew that his wife couldn't bear this blow for a while, so he patted her back comfortingly. After a while, Jing Niang choked up and said, "Master, is there really no way to get it back?" Isn't it okay if we don't want a silk village? ”

Deng Yongming kept frowning and said in disappointment: "Things are not so simple. I suspect that this is Tian Huaying's method, first let people steal the title deed, and then colluded with the county magistrate Li Wei to burn the certificate, and finally let Liu Xicai's son go to the county government to complain. Tian Huaying not only wants to seize the silk village, but also wants to occupy our family's property, and the best way is to put me in prison. He may still be paying attention to Ke'er, so I want you to take Ke'er and Zhao'er back to Yong'an's hometown as soon as possible. What happened to the He family is a lesson from the past! It seems that Li Weiwei and Tian Huaying have long been embarrassed. After Deng Yongming let his wife know that the matter was irreparable, he explained some things in detail. Madame Jingniang's face was pale, and she just nodded without a thought.

They didn't know that after Yi Lian'er eavesdropped on what was going on outside the study, they hurried back to their small courtyard, twisting on the way and almost knocking over the flower pots in the corridor.

Huan'er saw the eldest lady limping over and still sweating, so she hurriedly came over to help her, and asked in a panic, "Miss, what's wrong?" ”

Deng Xiaoke endured the sharp pain in his ankle and commanded in a low voice: "Huan'er, go and find Deng Jiu, I have something urgent to find him." ”

"Miss, do you want to find you a doctor first?" Huan'er said anxiously.

"Go and find Deng Jiu, can't you hear?" Deng Xiaoke thought of the crisis he was about to encounter, and just wanted to do something now, so he couldn't help but say loudly.

Huan'er's eyes were full of tears, and she didn't dare to cry when she saw that the eldest lady was angry, so she ran to find Xu Anping in a panic.

Xu Anping saw Huan'er, whose face was full of tears, and thought that something should have happened to Deng Xiaoke, he was nervous for a while, and hurriedly asked, "Huan'er, who bullied you?" ”

"No... It's me, it's... Miss... Let me... Call you over. I also... No... Know... Out of... What's up. Huan'er said while choking, the double screws on her head were still rising and falling with her little head, as if she was full of grievances.

Xu Anping didn't stop, bypassed Huan'er and hurriedly walked to the backyard, and after a while, he arrived at the door of the boudoir, and he could still hear Deng Xiaoke hissing and inhaling the cold air. He stood at the door with his head bowed and his hands tied as before, suppressed his heart beating violently because of nervousness, and said in a deep voice: "Miss, I heard Huan'er say that you are looking for me?" ”

Deng Xiaoke heard this familiar voice, and subconsciously exhaled, feeling that the anxiety in his heart and the pain in his ankle seemed to have weakened a little. Because she knew that the matter was very important, she didn't dare to say anything, so she jumped to the door of the boudoir on one leg and said softly: "Deng Jiu, only you can help me in this matter." Deng Xiaoke didn't know where the feeling came from, she just thought that Xu Anping could help her and would not let her down.

"Miss, you have something to order." Xu Anping still lowered his head and said calmly.

Deng Xiaoke thought that this matter involved the county commander Li Weiwei and the eldest young master of the Tian family, Tian Huaying, and she was a little unbearable for a while, she was afraid that Deng Jiu in front of her would be in danger. "But what then! Daddy is about to go to prison, and Auntie will definitely die of sadness. Deng Xiaoke suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, looked at Xu Anping's slightly thin and thin body, and suddenly wanted to see the other party's face. Deng Jiu, you raise your head and answer, how do I usually treat you? ”

Xu Anping slowly raised his head and looked at Deng Xiaoke so closely for the first time. I saw that she was wearing a moon-white pleated skirt and a peach blossom bun, with a charming and heroic face, delicate and attractive complexion, like a lively elf, but at this time there was panic on her face that should not have appeared. Deng Xiaoke was also looking at Xu Anping's appearance, she found for the first time that Deng Jiu in front of her was ordinary but resolute, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised under the bridge of his straight nose, as if nothing could defeat him. However, what made Deng Xiaoke feel a little panicked was that she saw a trace of affection and worry in the other party's eyes; What's even more strange is that she is not repulsed in her heart, but faintly happy and sweet. Deng Xiaoke's eyes were a little evasive, and he didn't dare to look at Xu Anping anymore, and his heart was inexplicably settled. At this time, Xu Anping said softly: "The eldest lady treats me very well!" If someone wants to hurt the eldest lady, I will not sit idly by. ”

After a while, Deng Xiaoke said in a low voice: "Deng Jiu, the deed of my family's silk village was stolen, and Tian Huaying colluded with the county to order Li to burn the deed certificate stored in the county office, wanting to seize my family's silk village and property, and to arrest my father and go to prison." Can you spy on Tian Huaying again and let him stop acting after he catches the handle? ”

Xu Anping's eyes returned to clarity, and he didn't dare to continue to look at Deng Xiaoke, so he lowered his head again and said, "Don't worry, eldest lady, I'll go to monitor Tian Huaying." With that, he turned and left. He didn't expect that before he had time to kill Tian Huaying, the other party gave birth to another moth. Xu Anping clearly knew that even if Tian Huaying was killed at this time, it would be useless. Of course, with Tian Huaying's rampant but cautious temperament on weekdays, it is unknown whether he can succeed in a short period of time. What's more, since the county magistrate Li Wei has been involved, even if it is for his own career, he will not give up, and will only make the case an iron case. Thinking of this, he secretly paid attention to it in his heart.
