The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad

Jiang Muxia handed over the full authority of Zhuangzi to Yin Yusheng and Zhang Sanhu, and devoted all his energy to accompanying Tang Zhongbai in investigating the case. A group of people used the private room on the second floor of Lai Ju Wine House as a gathering point for discussing matters.

After checking documents and files in the yamen for a whole day, Hu Yu left early to go home to be with his wife and children, and Jiang Pizi followed them to the tavern.

It was almost evening, the sky was crimson, and the entire county town was wrapped in colorful light and shadow, like a fairyland.

Night is about to fall, and the heat disappears one after another as the sun sets, following its footsteps, and is replaced by the coolness of autumn.

The temperature difference between day and night was apparent at this time. The sun was too strong at noon, and Jiang Muxia was wearing too thin clothes. A gust of cold wind blew, and she shivered and subconsciously shrank her neck.

Tang Zhongbai stood up and closed the window, blocking out the noisy sounds from the street vendors outside the window, and the private room suddenly became quiet.

Tang Zhongbai poured a glass of wine and handed it to her, saying in a gentle voice: "Have a sip to warm your body."

Cao Junan sneered and mocked him, "Brother Tang, drinking cold wine is useless, hot wine is the only thing that works."

Tang Zhongbai glared at him, "So you knew about this, but you didn't prepare it for us in advance. You're really stingy."

"..."

Before he finished speaking, the door opened and someone walked in.

Liu Xuer walked in leisurely, wearing a plain peach-patterned short-sleeved shirt on her arm. "I heard someone got cold, so I brought a short-sleeved shirt. Who wants to wear it?"

Jiang Pizi coughed twice deliberately. Isn't this asking knowingly? In the room, there was only one woman, Jiang Muxia, besides her who just came in. Who would believe that it wasn't specially brought for her? Was it for men to wear?

Jiang Muxia reached out and took it, "Sister Liu, you are so kind."

When she took it in her hand, she found that the dress was actually lined with thin cotton. After putting it on, her whole body felt warm in a short while.

At this time, the waiter had already brought the food to the table and specially served a pot of warmed peach blossom wine.

She took a sip. "Hmm, it's surprisingly sweet, and has a strong peach flavor. It's really delicious." She raised the glass and drank it all in one gulp, savoring the taste.

"This is made with peach pulp. The master of the family asked your brother for the recipe. I made a lot of it in my winery. I've prepared a jar for you. You can take it with you when you leave." Liu Xuer said with a smile.

"It's actually made of peaches." Jiang Muxia's mind raced, and he remembered the peach forest in his own farm, and came up with an idea.

"Sister Liu, we need peaches to make wine. Why don't you get them from my farm next year? The price is negotiable."

Liu Xuer burst out laughing, pointed at her and said jokingly: "Look, I invited her to have a glass of wine, but she got a business deal. What a clever girl."

While everyone was chatting and laughing, they heard a woman screaming from next door, followed by a man cursing loudly and the sound of fighting.

The woman's wailing continued, and Jiang Muxia became furious. He stood up and rushed to the next room.

Liu Xuer reached out to hold her back, "Mu Xia, don't be impulsive."

However, Jiang Muxia ran too fast, and her hand brushed against the corner of Jiang Muxia's clothes, so she had to get up and follow him.

The man in the room was afraid that she would suffer a loss, so he followed her to the next room. Cao Jun'an was the only one left in the private room, sitting there drinking by himself, as if he didn't hear the noisy noise next door.

The layout of the private room next door was the same as theirs, except that there was an additional screen with four maids. There was a man and a woman in the room. The woman was dressed in fancy clothes and fell to the ground. From her clothes, it was clear that she was the girl in the building. The man was slightly fat, with red cheeks and staggering body. It was obvious that he was drunk. The girl didn't know that the words she said were not to his liking, so he punched and kicked her.

Jiang Muxia kicked the door open, but it failed to stop the man from kicking the woman.

"Stop." Jiang Muxia shouted coldly, and the drunken man stopped and looked up at the source of the voice.

The man saw a beautiful girl standing in front of him and smiled obscenely.

Jiang Muxia's stern face aroused his desire to conquer her, and he actually reached out his hand to pinch her face.

"What a tender face! Let me pinch it and see if I can squeeze water out of it."

Jiang Muxia's face turned red with anger, and she was about to kick him when a hand stretched out from behind her and the man screamed like a pig being slaughtered.

"Ah... it hurts... it hurts..." He grinned and gasped for cold air. Tang Zhongbai walked into the house step by step, forcing him to retreat step by step.

Taking advantage of the gap, Jiang Muxia stepped forward and helped the woman up. It was only after helping her up that he could see her face clearly.

The woman turned out to be Ji Di.

Jiang Muxia's jaw dropped. It was unbelievable that she would be bullied.

"Miss Ji, how could you..."

At this moment, Ji Di was crying like a pear blossom in the rain, looking very pitiful. Her makeup today was charming and lovely, without any heroic spirit.

Jiang Muxia secretly cursed herself for meddling in other people's business. If she had known it was her, she would not have rushed over to stand up for her.

She just didn't believe that Ji Di would lie on the ground and allow herself to be beaten and scolded, and she didn't believe that she would let go of the man who beat and scolded her.

Ji Di bowed to her and said, "Thank you for saving me, young lady."

Liu Xuer helped her tidy up her clothes, and after persuading her gently, she let her go back to Qinghuanju.

"Miss Liu, I haven't eaten yet." Ji Di wiped his tears and said with a sob.

Liu Xuer was stunned. She was still thinking about eating at this time. Her face darkened and she was about to scold him.

Jiang Muxia smiled and continued, "Okay. We can't eat here anymore. Why don't you come with me to the next room? We haven't even started eating the food that has just been served."

Jiang Muxia shook her head gently at Liu Xuer who was about to get angry. She wanted to see what Ji Di was planning.

She is quite brave. If she were any other woman, she would have run away long ago.

Only Tang Zhongbai and the man who beat him were left in the private room. The man was so drunk from the pain that he lost all consciousness and begged for mercy while trembling all over.

"Second Master Tang, I was wrong. Please let me go. I am willing to apologize to Miss Ji."

Tang Zhongbai ignored his pleas for mercy and asked him in a low voice, "Why are you in this room? Did you invite her here or did she lead you here?"

The man was stunned, not understanding why he asked that.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Tang Zhongbai increased the strength of the hand that was twisting his wrist.

"Tell the truth, or I'll break your hand."

The man cried out in pain, "Be gentle, I'll tell you what I want to say."

Tang Zhongbai threw the man hard, and he fell to the ground. "Hiss, I said... it was me. I suggested that staying in the building was too boring. She didn't agree at first, but I added a hundred taels of silver, and she finally came with me."

"Then why did you beat and scold her?"

"Bah, that little bitch is just ungrateful. I spent so much money, but she sat here, not saying a word, not eating or drinking, just staring blankly. I said a few words to her, and she dared to glare at me. I got so angry that I... I just started fighting."

Tang Zhongbai stared at him. His eyes were clear and he didn't evade or evade, and he didn't seem to be lying.

He walked out, "Get out of here before I get angry."
