Chapter 15: Repudiation
Shaking her head slightly, she no longer had the courage to meet his gaze, so she had to close her eyes to escape the extreme embarrassment in front of her.
Seeing her like this, Lu Zhenghua's evil smile on his face deepened, he glanced at Jiang Tong, and kissed her little mouth.
Jiang Tong only felt a shock all over her body, and her face was red to the base of her neck, but she didn't struggle, and she didn't even make a slight push to resist.
When she was in a daze, Lu Zhenghua let her go, then looked at Jiang Tong who opened her eyes and said, "Tong'er, I want to discuss something with you, I don't know if you can agree." ”
Jiang Tong, who tasted love for the first time, was feeling that she couldn't stop when Lu Zhenghua stopped and said such a sentence, and she nodded and agreed without thinking about it: "Well, as long as I can do it, I will promise you." ”
"Tong'er is so good," Lu Zhenghua smiled in his heart, but his face was miserable:
"Didn't you say you knew where your father's treasury key was? I lost a bet with someone two days ago, and now I owe more than 1,000 taels of silver, and the man said that if I don't pay it back in two days, he will let me pay with my life. ”
After speaking, his brows furrowed, and Jiang Tong looked at him intently, and the sad look on his face looked too handsome.
How could she make such a good-looking Zhenghua brother worry?
"Brother Hua, don't worry, wait for me to go back and think of a way, whether it is successful or not, I will definitely give you an answer within two days."
Jiang Tong, who was already carried away by love, didn't want to think about it, so she promised Lu Zhenghua to help him find a way, how could she bear to let such a handsome brother Zhenghua worry about something like money like this?
"Tong'er, you're so nice." Lu Zhenghua immediately turned his worries into joy when he heard her words, kissed Jiang Tong on the forehead and said, his bright smile almost blinded Jiang Tong's eyes, and he only knew that he looked at him stupidly.
When Jiang Tong came back from Lu Zhenghua, it was already close to dinner, she secretly hid at the door and poked her head out of it, but saw a grandmother standing there looking at her in a daze, which frightened her so much that she quickly retracted her head again.
"Miss Cousin, what's wrong?" Su Juan, the girl who was following her, asked inexplicably.
"Mama Lan, I saw Mama Lan, she was watching me inside."
The so-called "don't do bad things and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door", Jiang Tong's mind at this time was very sensitive, and he immediately thought that Mama Lan was here to wait for her, where did she dare to go in?
"Miss Biao, you have to go in too, and it's not a way to stand here all the time."
In fact, the little girl Su Juan also saw the little girl who took Jiang Tong away, but Jiang Tong threatened her that if she dared to tell others about it, she would let Master Li sell her, and sell her far away, so Su Juan honestly pretended not to see anything.
Jiang Tong thought about it, what Su Juan said was right, if Mama Lan was waiting for her here, then even if she stood here until midnight, Mama Lan would still wait, if it wasn't for waiting for her, then what was she afraid of? Thinking of this, she stood up a little straighter, straightened her chest again, and gave herself courage and slowly went in.
"Miss Cousin," Mama Lan waited for her to almost come to the front, her eyelids lowered and her face was expressionless, and her hands bent down slightly: "Master has something to look for you, please come with me." ”
"Uncle looking for me?" Jiang Tong was shocked, he really came at her, was it for Brother Zhenghua's business? But how did my uncle know? Could it be that Su Juan reported the news?
She thought that after she went in with that little girl, Su Juan had been waiting outside, and she had been in for so long, maybe it was really this cheap maid who ran back to tell Mama Lan or her uncle.
Thinking of this, Jiang Tong turned his head and glanced at Su Juan fiercely, which made Su Juan shrink in fright, knowing what she was thinking: "Miss Cousin, I, I've been waiting for you there, and I've never been anywhere." ”
Mama Lan looked at Jiang Tong coldly and urged, "Miss Biao, hurry up, the master has been waiting for you for a long time." ”
"Well, okay, here we go." Jiang Tong glared at Su Juan again before reluctantly responding.
Mama Lan didn't pay attention to her anymore and only walked in front to lead the way, she looked back every few steps to see if Jiang Tong had followed, and saw Su Juan following behind dejectedly, so she said: "Su Juan will go to the young lady's yard to find Su Yu first, you don't have to come here." ”
Today's matter, no matter whether this Miss Cousin will be angry at Su Juan, she can't let Su Juan continue to follow her, who knows what this Miss Cousin will do to her? She couldn't let this innocent child suffer in vain.
"Yes, Mama Lan." As soon as Su Juan heard that she had been pardoned, she hurriedly agreed and ran away.
Jiang Tong glanced back at Su Juan, and reluctantly continued to follow Mama Lan forward, while thinking in his heart what Master Li would be looking for him, and how to answer if it was really because he went to see Brother Zhenghua.
In the Canglan Courtyard, Master Li was sitting in the main hall with a distressed face and drinking tea tastelessly, his wife and brother-in-law handed over his daughter to him, but he learned badly within a few days, and he didn't know when he met a foreign man, and secretly ran out to have a private meeting with him, how could he explain to her father?
You must know that as a girl in the boudoir, it is a very serious matter to meet a foreign man privately, if you are caught and held accountable by outsiders, it will be soaked in the pig cage.
When there was a chaos in his mind, and he didn't know what to do, Mama Lan walked in with Jiang Tong, and Master Li hurriedly sat upright so that he could look a little more majestic.
"Tong'er has seen her uncle." Jiang Tong stood in the middle of the hall and saluted Master Li in fear, his heart "fluttering" and beating.
"Tong'er is here? Have a seat. Master Li reluctantly answered, pointing to the chair for her to sit, Jiang Tong turned sideways, half of his body sat down next to the edge of the chair, and he looked as if he wanted to jump up and rush out at any time.
"I'm not going to beat around the bush anymore, just let's get straight to the point, where have you been today? What have you done? ”
Master Li thought about it again and again, and felt that he really couldn't come up with a more euphemistic statement, so he had to go straight to the point.
"Uncle, I didn't, I didn't go anywhere, I didn't do anything, it was Su Juan's cheap maid who wronged me, she was jealous that I was blessed as soon as I came, and she was jealous that my uncle was too good to me, uncle, what she said was true."
Jiang Tong said as tears flowed down his fair cheeks in an instant, how pitiful and pitiful it looked like that.
"Alas, you kid."
Master Li didn't know what to say, after all, it was the first time he had dealt with this kind of thing in the past forty years.
"Miss Cousin, a grandmother in charge of purchasing in our house saw you go with a small guy outside, it's not about Su Juan, grandma said that she also saw a handsome man come out and welcome you in, and then closed the door, and she ran back to tell me about the master."
Mama Lan can't stand it anymore, if she asks like this, she may not be able to ask a result tomorrow.
