Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

Feng Jiyuan watched Dong Jiafu talking about this matter in a relaxed manner, and even deliberately made people laugh, just to avoid making people worry.

Her bright smile made Feng Jiyuan feel apologetic, "Afu, you should tell me what you should go to Yangzhou, and I will definitely accompany you."

"I'm going to take the test soon. Before I went, I didn't know how long it would take for the master's matter to be resolved. I was afraid it would affect you, so I didn't tell you. I'm sorry." Dong Jiafu explained.

Feng Jiyuan wanted to say that he was not afraid of being affected. If he failed the exam this time, he would have to wait another three years at worst. However, then I thought about my plan. Three years was probably too long.

"When I was at the Linqing County Government Office, I was afraid that Zheng Chang would find trouble with Dr. Tan again, so I specifically warned Magistrate Yang. Unexpectedly, something happened."

Dong Jiafu completely understood his mood at the moment, because she had also blamed herself.

"Don't think too much. None of us expected that Zheng Chang would be so bold and regard human life as nothing. Even Magistrate Yang was kept in the dark. We did nothing wrong at the time. If I were given a choice again, I would still go to the Yamen Sue him."

"Afu is right," Dong Jialin agreed, "This kind of person should not be let go. Once caught, he will be beaten. If he does too much injustice, he will be killed! If I had known that he had bullied Afu, I would have given up my business. If you don’t do it, I will follow you to teach that beast a lesson!”

"Brother, are you right?" Dong Jialin asked Dong Jiabao after finishing speaking.

Dong Jiabao's emotions were not as outgoing as his, and he nodded thoughtfully.

"You are so reckless, I'm afraid you will drag Afu down if you go." Xu Yiwan stood up with a smile, "Okay, I'll go into the room first, and you young people can talk more."

The four of them stood up and watched Xu Yiwan leave.

After sitting down, Dong Jiafu asked: "Second brother, how are you preparing for the teahouse?"

Speaking of this, Dong Jialin looked happy, "The store has been rented and is being repaired now. It will be almost ready in five or six days. If it goes quickly, it will be opened early next month."

"Second brother is so awesome. He's ready so quickly." Dong Jiafu was pleasantly surprised. Before she went to Yangzhou, her second brother was still looking for a store. Only half a month had passed and he was already ready to this extent.

"Second brother, how did you get the money to repair the teahouse?" This is not a small amount of money.

"My parents gave me some, Jiyuan lent me some, and Brother Lu also lent me some after learning about it. There was also money from the bookstore, which was enough." Dong Jialin counted them one by one.

Dong Jiafu was dumbfounded, and the big head was all borrowed.

"I didn't expect Second Young Master Dong to have a talent for business."

Cui Qiyan and Dong Jingtang walked in from outside.

Dong Jialin stood up and said, "Master Cui is overly praised. I don't have any talent. It's just a small fight."

As he said that, he quietly looked at Dong Jingtang's face. His father didn't want people outside to know that he was doing business. If Mr. Cui accidentally heard this, his father wouldn't be angry, right?

Dong Jingtang looked as usual, "He can't study well, and he can't do nothing all day long. When doing business, he just has something to do."

"Master Dong is too modest. I see that the second young master has a quick mind and may be able to make great achievements in this field in the future." Cui Qiyan turned to Dong Jialin and said, "When the teahouse opens, the second young master remembers to give Cui a ticket as well. Invitation, I will bring congratulatory gifts to support you."

Dong Jialin was startled. They didn't seem to be that familiar. If it weren't for his status, he would have wanted to beat him up on Afu's behalf.

In front of his father, this person had just helped Afu, so Dong Jialin reluctantly agreed, "Then I'll thank Mr. Cui first."

"Then I won't disturb you anymore and I'll take my leave." Cui Qiyan's eyes stayed on Dong Jiafu for a moment.

Dong Jingtang turned sideways and said, "I'll see Mr. Cui off, please."

"Lord Dong, stay here," Cui Qiyan said politely, "I hope you will take more care of County Magistrate Yang."

"Mr. Cui, you are polite. If it is true as you said, then he was bribed to cover up. It is the duty of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and he will never let it go."

After listening to him in the study about the relationship between Magistrate Yang and Zheng Chang in Linqing County, as well as his personal experience there, Dong Jingtang also had doubts about Magistrate Yang's character.

Not long after Cui Qiyan left, Feng Jiyuan also left. Before leaving, he said: "Afu has been tired from traveling all the way and needs to have a good rest."

Dong Jiafu nodded and said, "I will do it. There is not much time until the exam, so you can prepare with peace of mind."

"Okay." Feng Jiyuan secretly determined in his heart that he would never let her down for her hard work.

"You two go see Jiyuan off, and I'll have a few words with Afu alone." Dong Jingtang said to the two brothers Dong Jiabao and Dong Jialin.

After the three of them went out, they were the only two people left in the hall. Dong Jiafu smiled and asked, "What does the father want to say to his daughter?"

"Afu," Dong Jingtang looked into her eyes and said seriously, "Tell me the truth. Did Cui Qiyan do anything extraordinary to you along the way?"

Dong Jiafu was stunned. Before she could speak, she heard Dong Jingtang continue: "Speak boldly, and my father will make the decision for you."

It turned out that this was the reason why her father asked her to stay. He was the one who asked Cui Qiyan to go with her at that time, and he convinced everyone. Unexpectedly, he was the one who was most worried.

A warm current flowed through Dong Jiafu's heart, and she replied with a smile: "Father, don't worry, Mr. Cui has done nothing wrong. He arranged this trip and takes good care of me."

"Is he really that honest?"

Although Dong Jingtang didn't talk about Dong Jiafu every day like Xu Yiwan these days, he still kept it in his heart, fearing that his daughter would be wronged by his decision.

"Well," Dong Jiafu nodded heavily and said in a joking tone, "He doesn't dare, so what if he is the eldest son of Duke Dingguo? My father is his superior, if he dares to mess with me, I will file a complaint immediately when I come back and ask you to deal with him severely!"

Seeing her feigning power, Dong Jingtang's serious face did not tense up for a moment, and he smiled and said: "You are right, now that you have your father to support you, no one else will let you suffer any more grievances."

"It's great to have dad here -" Dong Jiafu frowned.

Dong Jingtang's heart and eyes were full of love and affection. Afu hadn't called him that for a long time. At this moment, she was more like the person she was before they separated.

"You are tired after traveling for several days. Go back to your room and have a rest. Come back in the evening and let us have a meal as a family."

"Father, I'm going back." Dong Jiafu turned around and walked back to her residence.

Dong Jingtang stood there and watched her walk away before returning to the main room.

Xu Yiwan heard the movement and got down from the couch, "Master Cui is gone, what have you been talking about?"

"It's serious business. He suspected that the magistrate of Linqing County had close contacts with Zheng Chang's family and was suspected of accepting bribes to cover up. He asked me to send someone to investigate." Dong Jingtang found a chair and sat down.

Xu Yiwan poured him a cup of tea, "He just came back and he said this. He is really dedicated to his duty."

"It's just by the way." Dong Jingtang picked up the tea cup and drank tea.
