"What? You want to redeem someone!" The man looked at Xiao Rong in astonishment, wondering.

Xiao Rong glanced sideways at Su Wenfang, then nodded and said: "The land of the capital is at the foot of the emperor, not to mention that the Su manor is not an ordinary family, the maids and servants in the family have signed the contract of selling their lives and given money, and it is right to enter the mansion. Members of the Su family, now that you have rashly come to demand someone and even sued the yamen, you have exaggerated a simple matter, haven't you?"

"Yes, yes, Xiao... what Mr. Xiao said is very true. Since he is a member of the Su family and has signed the deed of sale, it is not easy for me to make a judgment. Mr. Su, can you bring the deed of sale?" Jing Zhaoyin Borrowing the donkey down the slope, he asked quickly.

Su Wenfang took a look at Xiao Rong, and naturally knew what his intentions were, and quickly said: "I would not carry such things as the deed of sale, my mother manages the back house, so naturally I have to go home and ask my mother to get it." .”

"Since that's the case, sir, why don't you come back tomorrow when Mr. Su's deed of sale is brought?" Jing Zhaoyin looked at the man and said.

"That won't work, I'll just wait here." He snorted coldly, even turning his face away.Su Wenfang exchanged glances with Xiao Rong, and then said:

"Then do you have enough money with you? When she sold herself into my Su residence, it was 50 taels of silver. The time limit is 20 years, including the dowry from my Su residence when she gets married in the future. Now she only comes for two." You redeemed her in the first month, and the principal of the 50 taels of silver had to be returned to the mansion immediately, and then her food, clothing, housing and transportation in the mansion, as well as her position in the mansion, had to be replaced by someone after that, and the cost of lost work had to be included, Our family rules are like this, if someone sells himself into the house, if he wants to redeem himself halfway, he has to pay double the selling price, and I will not ask you for more, Jiang Xinlan is treated like a maid in my house, count you 200 taels, if you If you can come up with 200 taels immediately, I will send the deed of sale and others later."

Su Wenfang looked at the man making up nonsense with seriousness, without blinking his eyes, it was obviously a nonsense, but every sentence sounded like the truth, so even the man was taken aback.

200 taels of silver, he can only pay 200 taels of copper coins for his whole body now, where did he get the 80 taels of silver, besides, his wages are only 200 taels a year, and [-] taels can be earned for more than three years, which he has never seen , let alone take it out immediately.

"How is it?" Seeing the change in the man's face, Su Wenfang hurriedly asked.

"Okay, you explain that tomorrow will be tomorrow, and tomorrow I will come to Jingzhao Yamen to find you for someone to ask for someone." The man said fiercely, before leaving, he gave Jiang Xinlan a hard look, and then threw away his arms and left Jingzhao Yamen .

Seeing the man leave, Jing Zhaoyin heaved a sigh of relief, and seeing that the matter was settled, Xiao Rong left Jingzhao Yamen along with Su Wenfang and Jiang Xinlan.

"Brother Xiao, thanks to you for coming today." As soon as he left the Jingzhao Yamen, Su Wen conveniently bowed deeply to Xiao Rong, then raised his smiling face, looked at Yuan Yin standing beside him and said, "It's just been a long time. I don’t see my little cousin, his complexion is much better than before, his body is much stronger, and he has grown in size.”

"That's right, I... I'm growing taller, so my body is also getting stronger." Yuan Yin raised his head and smiled, opened a paper fan and gently shook his face, bringing a little bit of coolness.

"So, my cousin and I will go back first." Xiao Rong was about to cup his fists to salute, but was stopped by Su Wenfang:

"Brother Xiao, although the matter in front of us is resolved, that person seems determined to take Xinlan away. We have to find a way to avoid future troubles."

Xiao Rong looked at Su Wenfang's nervous appearance, then at the earthy-faced woman behind him, looked at Yuan Yin beside him, then nodded and said: "In this case, it's better to be closer to Sifang Teahouse here." , let's go there and have a sit, how about?"

Su Wenfang thought about it for a while, then looked at Jiang Xinlan who was beside him, then nodded his head in agreement, and then they got into the carriage together and went to Sifang Teahouse.

Today's Sifang Tea House is still full of people. The poor students in the lobby sit together, drinking tea, talking about studies, poetry, calligraphy and painting. If the family is better, they go to the private seat.

If you like to be quiet, the elegant seats on the second floor are even quieter. The room is full of flowers and plants, and the decoration is extremely elegant.And when the window is opened, there is a pool of water downstairs, a few delicate pink lotus blooms just in time, the lotus leaves are like a dress, facing the accommodation.

Since the autumn exam will be held in a few months, the Sifang Teahouse began to receive the students who came outside to catch the exam one after another.

In Jingting Luxue's private seat, three people sat facing each other, while Jiang Xinlan was making tea and serving her.

And from entering the private seat, Xiao Rong's gaze fell on Jiang Xinlan, thinking carefully as she moved.Yuan Yin looked at Xiao Rong's scrutinizing eyes, then at Su Wenfang in front of him, and he also looked at Jiang Xinlan, but his gaze was full of pity and peace of mind.

Yuan Yin touched Xiao Rong's feet with his feet under the table, then looked at him, and then winked at him, letting him take a look at Su Wenfang and Jiang Xinlan.Xiao Rong closed his eyes and nodded slightly. What Yuan Yin wanted to say was clear in his heart, so he withdrew his gaze, picked up the teacup and sniffed it, then put it down, looked at Su Wenfang and asked:

"Miss Xinlan is probably hiding something. Could it be that what they said is true, you really escaped from marriage?"

Hearing Xiao Rong opened his mouth, Jiang Xinlan was so frightened that she almost dropped the teaspoon in her hand on the ground. At this moment, she held the teaspoon tightly in her palm and smiled: "Fake, I didn't escape from marriage. Everything you say is true.”

"Since it's all true, since your father was killed by his lord, why didn't you file a complaint with the local county government or the magistrate, instead you came to the capital to seek refuge with your relatives? It doesn't make sense." Xiao Rong also opened the paper fan , swaying gently in front of her chest, staring at Jiang Xinlan's appearance with her calm eyes, it is bound to take her every emotion into her eyes.

"I... I have my reasons." Jiang Xinlan lowered her head, letting her tears fall.

Su Wenfang was very distressed, and quickly took out a handkerchief and handed it to Jiang Xinlan: "Don't cry, don't cry, there are no bad people here, and they won't bully you, don't be afraid."

"Mr. Su, you have a good heart, so you are naturally easy to be used by others. You didn't find out what happened to Miss Xinlan's family, but you dared to bring her back to the mansion. If she is someone with evil intentions, then wouldn't you be in the Su manor?" Is the house restless?" Yuan Yin glanced at Xiao Rong, and said quickly.

"Xinlan is a good girl, I still have the eyesight to know people." Su Wenfang showed a smug look on his face, but his eyes fell on Jiang Xinlan again.

"The word "bad person" is not engraved on this villain's face, besides, I heard you said that Miss Xinlan was rescued by you when she was hunted down, and now another one says that she is a wife who has never been married. A special woman, Brother Su, do you still dare to believe her?" Xiao Rong also said quickly:

"I'm afraid it's not that she doesn't treat you sincerely, she only treats you as a backer to cling to."

"I don't, I treat Mr. Su sincerely." Jiang Xinlan listened to Yuan Yin and Xiao Rong's persuasive questioning, like poking her self-esteem, she quickly raised her head to defend herself:

"It's just me... I... I have my own reasons, and I can't harm Mr. Su."

"He is the eldest grandson of a dignified Hanlin scholar, and he is also a famous family in the capital. How could you harm him? Such an excuse is really clumsy." Yuan Yin said with a smile.

"No, it's different, the Su family saved me, I can't harm them, I can't." Jiang Xinlan shook her head again and again, not daring to look at Su Wenfang anymore, she just buried her head in tears.

"Could it be that your grievance can't be appealed to the magistrate of Yunzhou, and the Su family can't be rescued, so you can only sue and let the emperor avenge you?" Yuan Yin looked at Jiang Xinlan's crying pear blossoms with rain, and his doubts became even more serious.

What kind of grievances did she bear that made her so timid that no one dared to say it?

Jiang Xinlan looked at Yuan Yin in surprise, then at Xiao Rong and Su Wenfang beside him, and then buried her head deeply.

Su Wenfang's face gradually became serious, and he wanted to reach out to comfort Jiang Xinlan, but he couldn't put his hand on her shoulder.

"Looking at your words and deeds, you should not be a girl from an ordinary family, but must be the daughter of an official family. The Xiao Gongzi in front of you is a royal doctor who ranks among the three princes. The emperor is teaching, you might as well tell your grievances, and this Xiao Yushi will convey them to the emperor, maybe the emperor will summon you after hearing your grievances?"

Yuan Yin suddenly spoke again, but this time he attracted Xiao Rong's attention.

Yuan Yin's gaze changed from the previous banter, but became serious, with gentleness, Xiao Rong looked at him straight, his gaze softened a lot, and he was even extra gratified, as soon as he looked back, he met Jiang Xinlan's face With surprised and puzzled eyes, her face was pale, and she looked at Xiao Rong for a while before asking:

"You...you can really see His Majesty?"

Xiao Rong nodded slightly, nodded and said: "My cousin is right, if you really have a grievance and you are afraid of implicating the Su family, you might as well tell me."

Jiang Xinlan seemed to be grabbing at straws, tears reappeared in her eyes, she looked at Su Wenfang with joy, and then at Xiao Rong who was sitting next to him, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and quickly knelt on the ground, deeply He fell down and bowed down:

"Master Xiao...Master Xiao, you are wronged, help me, Lord Xiao."

Jiang Xinlan cried heart-rendingly at that moment, lying on the ground for a long time without getting up, just crying heartily, screaming for grievances.
