White Hedge Dream

Chapter 41 Accountability

Zhuang Li approached the door and heard a female voice crying inside, mixed with the strange woman's scolding and the comfort of Mrs. Dongyang Hou.

"You are still crying, why are you crying! Save some tears and cry again when the family is confiscated and the clan is exterminated!"

"Hey, Madam Uncle, don't say that. It has reached this point. Jin Niang is still young—"

Hongxing saw Zhuang Li at the door with a complicated expression, and shouted loudly, "The young lady is here."

There was a slight pause in the crying and scolding inside.

Zhuang Li walked in and first saw Lu Jin who was kneeling in front of Mrs. Dongyang Hou's knees and covering his face while crying. Sitting on the other side was a woman in her forties wearing an azure dress. She was wearing gold and jade hairpins, but she had a long face and a long mouth. Shen, his eyes are not good.

Without waiting for Mrs. Dongyang Hou's introduction, when she saw Zhuang Li walking in, she shouted: "Yes, Jin Niang is still a child, she is not sensible. You, a married woman, who is respectfully called sister-in-law, how can you give away things randomly?"

He looked at Zhuang Li fiercely.

Hongxing hurriedly lowered the curtain and stood out. The few people in the room also lowered their heads.

Mrs. Dongyang Hou looked a little embarrassed. She looked at Zhuang Li with a little annoyance in her eyes. She pointed at the table and shouted, "Is this what you gave to Ah Jin?"

Chunyue quietly raised her head and saw a box on the table, with a lotus bud thrown in the box.

Lotus bud!

Even if this is not valuable, Mrs. Ding Amber won't be so angry that she will call for punishment, right?

Use this as an excuse to have an attack?

In his ears was Zhuang Li's response: "Yes."

Mrs. Ding'anbo sneered: "Why do you bring all the beards and monsters from the countryside into the house? Do you know how much trouble it will cause!" She scolded Lu Jin again, "You are still crying, I still want to cry."

As he spoke, he burst into tears.

"My poor son was almost beaten to death by General Li's family."

Lu Jin Ai Ai slipped and fell to the ground, "Aunt, it's all my fault, I deserve to die."

The room was noisy again.

"Stop crying!"

A voice said that Lu Jin and Mrs. Ding'anbo felt their eardrums were hit and subconsciously stopped crying.

Mrs. Dongyang Hou opened her mouth and was a little stunned. She wanted to persuade, but she hadn't made a sound yet. This was...

She couldn't help but look at Zhuang Li.

Zhuang Li looked at them: "Let's speak clearly first."

My mother-in-law is here, so it’s not her turn to speak! Mrs. Ding'anbo came back to her senses and raised her eyebrows: "Aren't you clear in your mind?" She pointed at the lotus bud, "You said it yourself, what is the eternal flower called? It's weird and strange, with monsters and monsters. If you put it at home, it will make people confused and confused. Hallucinations and hallucinations!”

Mrs. Dongyang Hou opened her mouth again.

Zhuang Li spoke first: "This thing is indeed immortal, but it is not a monster. It is just smoked with dried flowers."

Lu Jin covered his face and cried: "Where can there be such dried flowers..."

"You haven't seen it." Zhuang Li looked at her, "It's because you have little knowledge."

Lu Jin choked.

She's so sharp-tongued, yet so unruly. She doesn't even bow her head or give a courtesy when she enters the door. She just says back to anyone who says something.

No wonder he was sent back to the capital secretly, he turned out to be a vulgar thing!

Mrs. Ding'an gritted her teeth angrily.

"It turns out that Jingyun married such a wife." She sneered and looked at Mrs. Dongyang Hou, "I've really learned a lot."

Mrs. Dongyang Hou's face turned red and she opened her mouth again, but Zhuang Li had no choice but to take the lead.

"I have gained experience too. I was pointed at and scolded by my boss before I came in to greet the elders." Zhuang Li also looked at Mrs. Dongyang Hou, curtsied and saluted, "My daughter-in-law is rude."

Mrs. Dongyang Hou felt angry and funny. She looked at Mrs. Ding'anbo and then at Zhuang Li. Well, both of them were great. She couldn't even say anything in front of them.

Both of them were staring at her at this time, and finally gave her a chance to speak.

She first held Mrs. Ding'anbo's hand: "Sister, don't be impatient." Then she looked at Zhuang Li, "This is Mrs. Ding'anbo, Jinniang's aunt, Jingyun's previous mother-in-law."

Zhuang Li knelt down and saluted Mrs. Ding Anbo: "Zhuang Li has met Madam."

It seemed that we had just entered the house and met each other at this time, and there was no exchange of words between you and me.

Mrs. Ding'anbo said coldly: "Young madam, you are so powerful."

Zhuang Li stood up and said, "Junior doesn't dare. Madam, you are the elder. Before reprimanding this junior, can you tell me what happened to the dried flowers I gave you?"

Mrs. Dongyang Hou said in a deep voice: "This flower makes people hallucinate. First, the girls at home talked nonsense, and then Wenjie, the young master of Ding'an Bo Mansion, was also deceived, claiming that it could cure all diseases and bring the dead back to life. Take it It was given to the Tenth Young Master of General Li’s residence, but it actually made the Tenth Young Master’s illness worse, and General Li came to question him.”

Hearing this, Lu Jin started crying again.

Mrs. Ding'anbo also had red eyes: "It's really a disaster from heaven. Our Ding'anbo Mansion has never been so humiliated. The old lady almost couldn't hold on -"

Mrs. Dongyang Hou looked ashamed. She naturally knew General Li's style and could imagine the chaos in Ding'an Bo Mansion.

Zhuang Li's voice murmured in his ear, "What bad luck."

Bad luck? Mrs. Dongyang Hou looked at Zhuang Li. Was she scared now? It's her fault to send random things, don't blame luck! Mrs. Dongyang Hou glared at her bitterly, looked at Mrs. Ding'anbo, and said, "Sister, I'm really -"

Before she finished speaking, Zhuang Li's voice sounded again.

"Madam, I don't understand this." She looked at Mrs. Ding'anbo, "Who is talking nonsense, who is being deceived, saying that this lotus bud can cure all diseases? Bring the dead back to life?"

Mrs. Ding'anbo held her handkerchief and looked at her: "You said this is the eternal flower, it-"

"I said it is an eternal flower, a flower that lasts forever, but I didn't say it makes people live forever." Zhuang Li said, looking at Mrs. Ding'anbo and then at Lu Jin, "It is just a dried flower smoked with special techniques. It is your Ding'anbo flower." The government is talking nonsense, how can you blame me? "

Lu Jin put down the hand covering his face and said anxiously: "It's because you, Hua, are so weird that you made the little girl who was injured and about to die come back to life." Zhuang Li looked at her and asked curiously: "How did Hua make the little girl who was injured and about to die?" Come alive?"

"She dreamed about—" Lu Jin said.

It seemed absurd to say this, so I stopped.

Zhuang Li smiled and looked at Lu Jin: "Your family believed what your little girl dreamed about. Why do you come to accuse me of your family's affairs?"

Lu Jin bit his lower lip and looked at her. This flower is so weird! The little girl dreamed of the Bodhisattva, and she also dreamed of being beaten by this flower!

But this thing is too weird to explain. If you can't explain it clearly, you can't tell the details, just the facts.

Lu Jin covered his face and started crying.

"Sister-in-law, what did I do wrong? You can punish me no matter what. The Lu family is innocent."

Mrs. Ding'anbo said coldly: "I'm afraid our Lu family won't be very pleasing to the young lady."

Zhuang Li looked at Lu Jin, who was covering his face and crying, and then at Mrs. Ding Amber.

"A dried flower is exquisitely made, as if it will last forever. You have no idea, so you must say it is a monster." She said, "Mrs. What? Is it a monster too?"

Mrs. Ding'anbo's face froze, yes, the queen's palace flowers are also dried flowers.

"To accuse others, you need evidence. If you are slandered, you can also file a lawsuit." Zhuang Li continued, curtsying to Mrs. Dongyang Hou, "Mother, please take the name card. I will go to Jingzhao Mansion to file a complaint. ”

Complain?

Mrs. Dongyang Hou was also shocked that she had involved the Queen.

Mrs. Ding'anbo slapped the table and stood up: "Okay, you're the first one to file a lawsuit! I want to see how you file the lawsuit!"

"Of course I am accusing Anbo Mansion of having trouble, and falsely accusing others of giving gifts as the cause of the disaster." Zhuang Li said, "If the government really finds me guilty, it can serve as a warning to others, and they can welcome Ding Anbo Mansion in the future." Be careful when coming and going.”

Mrs. Ding'anbo was furious: "You-"

Mrs. Dongyanghou quickly stood up and took her arm, then shouted at Zhuang Li: "Shut up! You are not in charge of the Dongyanghou Mansion yet, it is your turn to sue the East and the West."

If we really want to file a lawsuit, wouldn't Dongyang Houfu and Ding'anbofu become a joke in the capital? What dignity does Dongyanghoufu have?

"Good sister, don't be as knowledgeable as her." Mrs. Dongyang Hou pulled Mrs. Ding'anbo to persuade her, "She is young and ignorant. Just for my sake, please show some dignity -"

Mrs. Ding'anbo was ashamed, annoyed and angry. This Mr. Zhuang was a shrew, so she started to make trouble.

Mrs. Ding'anbo took a deep breath and calmed down. She came here for other purposes and she couldn't let this woman act and cause trouble.

"Since Sanniang died, I no longer have any dignity to care about," she said with tears.

Mentioning the dead made the living feel sad. Mrs. Dongyang Hou thought that if Mrs. Lu Sanniang was still alive, the family would never be like this.

Tears fell immediately.

"I didn't expect that life would be like this."

Seeing the two ladies crying hand in hand, Lu Jin, who was kneeling on the ground, glanced at Zhuang Li, who was standing aside.

Zhuang Li didn't shout anymore to sue the officials, but he didn't say that his wife was wrong, and he didn't kneel down, he just stood still.

He still looks weak and quiet.

But Lu Jin no longer dared to accuse her. He almost had a tooth broken by her just to show off when he entered the door.

Let's make a quick decision.

Lu Jin knelt down and pulled the sleeves of Mrs. Dongyang Hou, raised her head and said in tears: "Foster mother, my aunt and I are not here to accuse the young lady. There is really nothing we can do -"

She seemed to be choked up when she said this.

"What? Do the Li family really want to deal with Wenjie?" Mrs. Dongyang Hou stopped crying and said anxiously, "His son is already in trouble and can't deal with the real murderer. He actually wants to bully Ding'anbo Mansion, even to sue the emperor. We are not afraid there either!”

Mrs. Ding'anbo shook her head in tears: "He didn't insist on Wenjie's life, nor did he want to enmity with my family. He insisted on marrying our family-"

Make love?

Mrs. Dongyang Hou was stunned for a moment.

"Li Juro hasn't gotten married yet, so he couldn't talk about marriage in the first place. Now that he has become a useless person, no one is willing to get married." Mrs. Ding'anbo choked up and said, "The Li family said that Wenjie harmed Juro, and in order to compensate, they asked my family to give birth to a daughter. Marry Li Julang."

Mrs. Dongyang Hou was shocked and angry: "That's ridiculous. Isn't this a forced marriage?"

"This is the trouble I caused." Lu Jin pulled the sleeve of Mrs. Dongyang Hou and cried, "You can't harm other sisters. It's just me. I'll marry her-"

Mrs. Dongyang Hou stood up anxiously: "What nonsense are you talking about! How can this be allowed?"

"Foster mother, if something like this happens, there will be no place for me in the world." Lu Jin cried and fell to the ground.

"What do you mean there is no place for you?" Mrs. Dongyang Hou said angrily, reaching out to pull her, "There is still me, and there is the Hou Mansion. I make the decision, you come -"

Before she finished speaking, the door curtain rang, someone stepped in, and a male voice asked at the same time: "What will mother do?"

male voice.

The male voice suddenly appeared in the inner room, making everyone stunned. They subconsciously looked towards the door and saw a tall young man walking in. He was raising his hand to take off the hat from his head, revealing a handsome face.

Mrs. Dongyang Hou seemed to be frightened and opened her mouth silently.

It was Lu Jin who made the first sound.

"Your Majesty!"

Zhuang Li looked up.

Zhou Jingyun is back.
