Chapter 137: Slander
The last time Xu Huaiqing refused his family's request for marriage, they have been haunted by it, hoping that Bai Jiujiu's embroidery workshop would immediately close down and not be able to open. Now that the ready-made opportunity is delivered to the door, there is no reason to let it go.
The family closed the door and discussed for a long time, and finally the third master hurriedly went out and went straight to the main courtyard where the county magistrate lived.
Wang Ningzhi looked at the back of his father's departure, and his arrogant face was full of pride.
"Mother, you said that Bai Jiujiu was arrested and put in prison, will the Xu family marry another one for Xu Huaiqing?" Wang Ningzhi looked at his tender ten fingers that could pinch out water, and asked expectantly.
Mrs. Zhang took a sip, "Girl, don't you still think of that Xu Huaiqing, there are so many men in the world, why worry about him." ”
"Mother, there are many men in the world, but in this county, there is only one Xu Jieyuan." Wang Ningzhi stomped his feet in disgust.
"You." Mrs. Zhang pretended to be unhappy on her face, but her tone was actually full of doting.
Wang Ningzhi grinned, snuggled up to Mrs. Zhang's side, full of little daughter posture, but the words she said were extremely ruthless, "Mother, when Bai Jiujiu is arrested and put in prison, let her uncle lock her up for a few more years, I want her to enjoy herself in prison." ”
"Okay, it's up to you." Nodded Wang Ningzhi's head lovingly, Mrs. Zhang's tone was indifferent, and she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with a few words deciding the life and death of others.
On the other side, the third old man found the county magistrate non-stop, "Big brother, I heard that there was a problem with the Xu family's embroidery workshop?" ”
When the county magistrate saw his favorite brother, the depression in his heart dissipated a little, and he said softly, "It was someone from her embroidery workshop who came to report the case, and the real situation is not yet known." ”
This younger brother is his father's old son, and he has been more pampered than his brother since he was a child, and he, as the eldest brother, has watched him grow up. This father-brother relationship made him quite indulgent to this younger brother. It can be said that as long as he doesn't make a fuss, he is still tossed by him.
After hearing this, the third master seemed to think about it, and then said slowly, "The younger brother thinks that since it is said by the embroidery girl who works for her, the situation must be true. ”
The county magistrate was silent, but the scales in his heart swayed from side to side.
What the third brother said is not unreasonable, thinking that Bai Jiujiu is indeed a bit excessive, otherwise it would not have made so many embroidery girls unite to sue her.
But her daughter swore that Bai Jiujiu would never do such a thing, who should she believe?
After Wang Yanran knew that the third master was coming, she knew that things would not be good. Her third uncle is the most resentful, before Xu Huaiqing quit his family, I am afraid that he will be offended.
Sure enough, after listening to it outside the door, Wang Yanran's heart suddenly secretly said that it was not good, her father had always listened to the third uncle, if he really sent someone to search the embroidery workshop with great fanfare, I am afraid that the embroidery workshop would be on the road.
She was anxious, but she didn't know what excuse to get in. Seeing the maid holding a tray, she took it with her hand, and after straightening her look, she pushed the door in.
There were two cups of tea on the tray, and she gave them to her father and the third master respectively, but she didn't leave immediately, but asked bluntly, "Is my father still worried about the embroidery workshop?" ”
"Yes, for the sake of the father, I still have to let someone investigate." The county magistrate frowned and nodded.
Wang Yanran looked straight at the third master, "Why, my daughter has already made it very clear, the Xu family shop has also paid a lot of taxes to the government, if the father is determined to listen to the words of people with ulterior motives and destroy the Xu family shop, it will be a big loss." ”
"How can you say that, niece." Hearing this, the third master immediately couldn't sit still, "The eldest brother is the county magistrate, and he has to act impartially, but no one reports the case but chooses to ignore it." ”
Wang Yanran doesn't like her, the third uncle, she looks treacherous, and she is also extremely shrewd, she has always relied on her father's love, and has always benefited from the big house, but she still has to point fingers at them, and has praised her for being smart and clever in front of her father many times, but secretly belittled her.
She sneered and said lightly, "Third uncle, why are you so enthusiastic about this matter, then Bai Jiujiu has no enmity with you, right?" ”
The third master's face sank immediately, and he glared angrily at Wang Yanran, and after seeing that the other party was unmoved, he turned to the county magistrate pretending to be aggrieved, "Big brother, it seems that my niece has a little misunderstanding about me, where do I have a grudge against that Bai Jiujiu, but for the sake of the eldest brother's career, if the eldest brother ignores the case and is a ginseng with a heart, how will the eldest brother rise in the future." ”
Speaking of the official career, the county magistrate immediately made a straight face, "There are no rules at all, how can you talk to your third uncle, and you don't apologize quickly?" ”
Wang Yanran couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in her heart, every time it was like this, as long as she had a disagreement with the third uncle, her father would definitely listen to the third uncle, and then scold her. She couldn't help but wonder if she was born to her father.
She stood there straight, unmoving, with a touch of sadness in her eyes, but her eyes were as cold as ice, and after a long time, she hooked the corners of her lips mockingly, and said coldly, "I didn't do anything wrong, I didn't say anything wrong, why apologize?" Father, daughter again, there will be no problem with Bai Jiujiu's embroidery workshop, if you insist on doing it, you have to think about it, Xu Huaiqing and Han Zhaoyin are not easy to mess with! ”
After speaking, Wang Yanran turned around and strode away.
"My niece is too strong, I don't think much of you big brother, alas, fortunately my family is not like this, she often talks about her uncle's tiredness at home, let's not bother you often." The third old man sighed and quietly added fuel to the fire.
The county magistrate was already angry, but when he heard this, his face turned blue suddenly, and he put the teacup in his hand on the table heavily, "Evil girl! ”
A smile flashed in the eyes of the third master, but he pretended to persuade the county magistrate not to be angry, Wang Yanran estimated that he was also impulsive, and his heart was still towards his father.
The county magistrate sneered, "If she were to me, she wouldn't speak for outsiders, I don't know, that Bai Jiujiu is more important than her Laozi, and she can actually let her move out Xu Huaiqing and Han Zhaoyin to threaten me, but it's just a Xie Yuan and a businessman, I really have to take someone to check the embroidery workshop today to see what they can do to me!" ”
"Big brother, don't be impulsive." The third old man pretended to be comforted, but a trace of cunning flashed in his eyes, "What my niece said also makes sense, that Bai Jiujiu is arrogant, I have to admire her, I refused to condense the fat last time, and this time I can ask my niece to speak to her, maybe I just think that you dare not touch her." ”
