Hua Rujin and Cuicui finished their meal and kept burping in the room, but He Shiyin's room was already filled with the smell of gunpowder.

"Miss, Ye Gongzi actually asked Ting An to deliver the meal you made to Miss Hua's room."

The female envoy walked up to He Shiyin with a bitter face, and poured out her dissatisfaction.

He Shiyin secretly clenched her fists, but she returned to normal in an instant, and pretended to smile easily: "It's just a few dishes, it's not a big deal." ”

"Miss."

The female envoy twisted her waist disobediently, and before the rest of the words came out, He Shiyin hurriedly raised her hand to stop her:

"Brother is the proud protégé of Wei Lao, is the champion appointed by His Majesty, sooner or later he will walk out of this small Jiangling City, and the marquis is just around the corner, thanks to my aunt's love over the years, my brother and I will be husband and wife sooner or later, this pattern still has to be there, how can it be compared by a country girl."

Hearing this, the female envoy felt a lot better: "What Miss said is also reasonable, I think that Ye Gongzi is just a poor Miss Hua is a widow who has just escaped from the sea of suffering, so she takes extra care of her." ”

"If only you understood."

He Shiyin said this, but the vigilance in her heart became heavier and heavier.

He had known his brother for many years, and although he had always been respectful and polite to him, he had never seen him so attentive to anyone.

In the middle of the night, I made a special trip to pick people up from Li's house, and I specially asked people to prepare meals for her.

This is beyond the realm of sympathy.

It's just that what she can't figure out is that she is not better than the woman in the Hua family, why does her brother look at her differently?

After thinking about it for a long time, she didn't come up with a reason.

In the end, she could only think of the aunt of the Ye family.

The elder brother has always been filial, and the children's major affairs must always be arranged by the aunt.

Thinking like this, she suddenly calmed down and didn't think about it anymore.

After resting for one night, Hua Rujin accompanied Cuicui to the prison in Jiang'an County early the next morning.

The little girl took some loose silver prepared by the Liu family and gave it to the jailer, and soon met the son of the Li family in prison.

In the dim prison, when I saw my bitter master, I looked at his handsome face, except for the messy hair and some fluffy, the whole person did not seem to have been tortured.

It's listless, as if he's already thinking of himself as a corpse.

"Childe, you have suffered, and the eldest lady asked the slave to come and see you."

Cuicui cried so much that she kept wiping away her tears.

"Why are you crying, I'm not good."

Li Gongzi glanced at him, and he didn't know who this person was, but thinking that she came in with his own slave, it must be the lawyer invited by his mother, and reprimanded him dissatisfiedly: "Go back quickly, so that my mother doesn't have to work hard for me, an unfilial son who humiliates the family." ”

"Childe."

Listening to his dissatisfied tone, Cuicui was a little lost.

Hua Rujin saw that he was determined to protect the reputation of Miss Zhang's family, so he had to secretly glance at Cuicui.

Cuicui immediately took out the half of the jade pendant and handed it to her son-in-law: "Childe, this is handed over to you by Miss Zhang's slave." ”

After that, she repeated her words word for word.

The son of the Li family clenched the jade pendant and pondered for a long time, and then spoke: "Now that the eldest lady of the Zhang family is sure that I defiled Miss Zhang, I am afraid that if I forcibly retract my confession, not only will I not be able to reduce the guilt, but it will affect Sister Lian and suffer." ”

The tone of his voice was obviously much softer than before.

"Miss Zhang is desperate to save Li Gongzi's life now, is Li Gongzi so depressed and watching her being sent to another family as a concubine?"

Hua Rujin rebuked in a sonorous tone: "A dignified seven-foot man, he can't be filial to his parents, and he has to let his parents shame himself, and he can't protect his beloved. ”

"This young lady has said that, but what else can I do now."

The son of the Li family replied with a gloomy expression.

Hua Rujin looked at him firmly: "There is no endless road, as long as Li Gongzi has a heart, I believe that if you are sincere, you will definitely be able to turn the situation around." ”

Thinking of the scene of meeting Miss Zhang last night, she couldn't help but say more: "Gongzi Li has met a lover in this life, you shouldn't be thinking about how to protect Miss Zhang's reputation now, but how to live up to her." ”

"Yes, Childe, Madame has already said that as long as Childe can go out, she will never stop you from doing anything with Miss Zhang."

Cuicui hurriedly took over: "And that wealthy businessman in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is so calculating Miss Zhang, is the son sure that he will be able to treat Miss Zhang well in the future?" ”

The son of the Li family thought about it, and his heart began to waver.

After being silent for a long time, he nodded heavily at Hua Rujin: "I'm willing to retract my confession, but I don't know how Miss Hua can help me get out of trouble?" ”

"It's easy to do."

Hua Rujin looked around, and saw that no jailer was paying attention to this side, so she leaned into his ear and whispered a few words, and the son of the Li family looked up at her suspiciously: "Is this really possible?" ”

Hua Rujin smiled and said: "Even if you can't completely clear your son's grievances, you can still strive for leniency." ”

"Okay, then I will follow what Miss Hua said, and I will definitely bite this statement to death."

The son of the Li family finally agreed and no longer bent on death.

Hua Rujin and Cuicui looked at each other, smiled with relief, and then prepared to leave.

Before leaving, Cuicui followed her instructions and used some silver to ask the jailer to immediately pass the case of the Li family's son's desire to retract his confession to the county office.

Out of prison, Hua Rujin sent Cuicui away and went straight back to the post house.

When I arrived at the door of the Deyi Inn, I saw that the pair of brothers of the Jiang family were waiting at the door yesterday.

Seeing the benefactor who reconciled their brothers again, the two brothers greeted them with joy on their faces.

"Aren't the two sons going to the court to defend themselves again?"

Hua Rujin recognized the two of them, and didn't know what they were doing, so she asked with a confused face.

"Ahem, Miss Hua laughed."

The thinner brother hurriedly took out a package and handed it to her, and said with a simple smile: "Yesterday, Miss Lao Hua made our brothers shake hands and make peace, and my younger brother and I prepared some thin gifts to thank Miss Hua, and Miss Hua must accept this hundred taels of silver." ”

"I didn't do anything for you, the two sons don't have to be so polite."

Hua Rujin dismissed the package he handed over.

"Miss Hua, don't shirk."

The chubby younger brother of the Jiang family also opened his mouth to persuade: "Over the years, my brother and I have spent a lot of family business for this trivial matter at home, if it weren't for Miss Hua's allocation, our brothers wouldn't know when they would be willing to repent, so Miss Hua must accept this little bit of heart anyway, so that we can feel at ease." ”

Seeing the sincerity of the two brothers, Hua Rujin had no choice but to take the package: "Then thank you two." ”

The two brothers nodded with satisfaction,

Seeing a smoky and cyan carriage driving towards this side, the Jiang family brothers knew that she had been helping the officials of the county government to deal with disputes recently, and they were afraid that they would be too busy to bother anymore, so they said goodbye with interest: "In this way, we won't bother Miss Hua, if Miss Hua encounters something tricky in the county, you can go to the Jiang family in the west of the city to find our brother." ”

"Definitely."

Hua Rujin watched the two brothers go away, but when she looked back, she saw that her elegant cousin had arrived at her side at some point.
