C18 Eldest Grandma's Worry
Chapter XVIII
The carriage traveled along the street in a leisurely manner. It was a sunny day after the rain, the Xincheng River was covered in a beautiful mist, and on both sides of the street, green grass covered the sides of the road.
However, Liu Wan was extremely nervous. Her two legs were crossed together and both her hands were tightly clenched. Her entire person seemed to be curled up in a corner of the carriage.
Even so, her face was still completely red. It was as if she was sitting on pins and needles, and her heart was thumping.
She had never been in the same carriage with a man before.
She and her husband Zhang Qiang had not been alone at such a close distance. If news of this got out, her Eldest Grandma reputation would be ruined.
"I can't see that this Lu Jia Zheng Ge'er is young, but he's full of evil tricks. At such a young age, he's actually a lecher. It's no wonder why my aunt can't raise him in the Jiangning!" She muttered in her heart.
"To think that he could make such a request. He even said that someone wanted to kill him. In broad daylight and clear skies, on the ground of Yangzhou, who would dare to do such a thing?" The Zhang Clan's carriage is a golden signboard in Yangzhou. Who would dare to provoke the Zhang Clan? "
"Also, even if someone truly wants to harm Lu Zheng Geer, what use can a woman like me have?"
Liu Wan's thoughts flew, the more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Unfortunately, her personality was too soft, Lu Zheng threatened her with a piece of paper, and she had to do it for Liu Song, but luckily she had thought it through. From the Zhang Family's west gate all the way to the yamen, even if Lu Zheng had the most guts, she should not dare to do anything.
As for going to the yamen to withdraw a bill, could it be that he was willing to let him go?
"Eldest Grandma, don't be too nervous. Sit properly and take a look at the scenery outside. It's so beautiful!" 'Jiang Nan is good. I've known the scenery for a long time. The sunrise, the red flowers win over the fire. The spring water is as green as the blue. Can you not remember Jiangnan? ' Lu Zheng was in a good mood and could not help but chant Bai Juyi's "Remembering Jiangnan".
At this moment, the scenery outside was too suitable for this poem.
"Ahh …" Liu Wan could not help but exclaim.
She was extremely sensitive to poetry, stayed at home, and was lonely. Usually, she would only have a few female servants by her side, and would play a little more with Zeng Bao Yi and the other female servants during her free time.
Her personality was calm, and she did not ask for merits. Reading was studying, and she had no other thoughts. Poetry was writing, and she did not expect to amaze the world with a single brilliant feat. This kind of state of mind actually allowed her to improve greatly and become infatuated with it.
In the eyes of an expert like her, the lines that Lu Zheng had just recited were like words that struck fear into everyone's hearts!
Lu Zheng, "Hm?" With a sound, he turned his head to look at her and coincidentally, Liu Wan was also sizing up Lu Zheng. Their gazes met and Liu Wan hurriedly lowered his head, her heart thumping even harder!
Lu Zheng could not help laughing, but his heart palpitated with unease. The woman before him was too flirtatious. Gentle and quiet, no makeup, but a natural beauty. Xia Fei's cheeks were naturally seductive.
"Does Eldest Grandma understand poetry?" Lu Zheng said.
Liu Wan bit her lips and did not say anything, but thought in her heart: "Little Dengzi, where did you steal this poem from? Just with his unclean goods, he is infamous for not being able to learn or learn anything in the Jiangning, and even if she doesn't even get the chance to train herself, how would she even be able to write poems? "
As she thought of this, she decided to remain silent. Lu Zheng knew that the other party had misunderstood her and he was not too concerned about it as he said:
"Eldest Grandma, we'll be at the yamen right now. You and Wang mama, wait for me there. I'll go to the yamen to withdraw the bill and bring Uncle out. Our business will be over once we get back!"
Liu Wan let out a long sigh of relief as she used her eyes to glance outside and indeed, she caught sight of the big green stone lion at the entrance of the county magistrate court.
Arriving at the county magistrate court, Lu Zheng called for the car to stop, and then went into the yamen to handle some matters.
The yamen authorities only paid attention to Lu Zheng when they heard that someone had filed a complaint in the yamen of the Great Kang. The yamen authorities were eager to have Lu Zheng withdraw the bill, since they had received the notice the day before yesterday that the yamen officials had reaped the benefits of the Zhang Family.
Thus, everything went smoothly and Qi Biao did not suffer much. In less than an hour, everything was settled as Lu Zheng brought Qi Biao out of the yamen.
He boarded the carriage, and Liu Wan asked: "Zheng Geer, have the lawyers withdrawn yet?"
"Eldest Grandma, how can we not retreat? How can my uncle come out if he doesn't withdraw? We still need to get sued! "
Liu Wan then said: "Zheng Geer, I am a widow, it is not appropriate to travel together with brother, please do not spoil my sister-in-law's etiquette."
"Huh?" Lu Zheng was stunned, he did not know whether to laugh or cry. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Liu Wan.
"Eldest Grandma, you are destroying the bridge after crossing the river!"
Liu Wan said: "I am extremely grateful that Zheng Geer broke the bill, but … "But for women, we can't let men and women not fight over this. I hope that you understand."
Forget it, Liu Wan had turned hostile. This woman who was as weak as water, was not a pushover!
Taking a deep breath, Lu Zheng said: "Eldest Grandma, do you know that our journey back to Zhang Mansion is extremely dangerous? Do you really think we can return safely? "
Liu Wan rolled her eyes, a rare sight, and with that look, it was clear what her attitude was.
She believed in Lu Zheng!
In broad daylight, in broad daylight, who would dare to act arrogantly in public?
Lu Zheng's mind raced, this situation was not within his plans. This woman suddenly turned hostile, what should he do?
Lu Zheng could consider using force, but a weak woman like Liu Wan was not a b * tch like Hua Hanyun who had schemes and schemes. Lu Zheng could not bear to bully a girl like her.
It seemed that he could only think of another way today!
He opened the curtains and waved Qi Biao over, then whispered a few words into his ear and exhorted him.
Then he sighed and said, "Eldest Grandma, it looks like you won't be able to believe my words today. I had originally wanted to protect you when you return. You can only come back alone now. If you really encounter any danger, remember to shout 'save me' immediately!
The louder the better! If you keep your voice down, I'm afraid you'll be in danger, understand? "
Liu Wan bit her lips and did not say anything, only rolling her eyes. Lu Zheng observed the outside carefully, then spoke to Grandma Wang, "Wang mama, go walk around the yamen first, I'll go buy a silver box for the girls."
… ….
In Fortune Restaurant, all the wine and food had arrived, and the stage was set up in the courtyard. Before the main show even started, two girls from Pear Garden were singing a song on stage.
Ying Er anxiously came down from the restaurant's backyard, looked around, and just as she was about to rush out of the courtyard and onto the main street, Zhang Baoyi shouted "Ah!" A loud shout came out from the shadows to the side, with one hand around her waist, she said: "Ying Er, are you shocked?"
Ying Er was so frightened that she let out a long breath, patted her chest and said: "My lady, you're scaring me to death!"
Zhang Baoyi said: "I was just teasing you because I see you're unhappy! What's wrong? Are you still angry at Hao Geer? "
"Hao Geer really likes you. The reason we came here today is also to deal with that hooligan Lu Zheng. The Second Sister-in-law has arranged for someone to personally take care of him. Sigh, we cannot blame the Second Sister-in-law for that. Some things are just human lives!
Hao Geer likes you, so this is your life. Even if someone wants to make you unhappy, you can definitely turn the tables on them and everything will be fine! "
Zhang Baoyi consoled Ying Er, but Ying Er's heart was burning with anxiety.
She had noticed earlier that Second Wife had probably prepared an ambush and was only waiting for Lu Zheng to turn around from the yamen. He was probably about to make a move and even went to the yamen in a foolish manner.
"Second Wife is really ruthless! Yesterday, I still advised San Ye to let him withdraw from the case today, and then immediately bring Qi Daye back to Jiangning. From the looks of it, Second Wife doesn't even want to give him the chance to do so! "
Ying Er thought of this in her heart. She wanted to run to the yamen to inform Lu Zheng of the news, but she was unable to extricate herself.
Not only did Zhang Baoyi's persuasion not make her happy, it had even made her sad.
"The girl is right, everything is life! Lu San Ye's life was like this. From the first day he entered Yangzhou, he had already decided. Even if I report to him today, can he hide past the first day?
As for myself, with the loss of Lu San Ye, how was my life fated? "
Seeing that Ying Er was crying, Zhang Baoyi panicked, and said: "Good Ying Er, don't cry! I know you feel wronged, so don't worry, after today, I promise I won't let you suffer any more, okay? "
As Zhang Baoyi and Ying Er were talking, they suddenly heard someone shouting upstairs, "It's here, it's here, the carriage is here!"
Ying Er immediately stopped crying, her heart in her throat.
"Come, let's go upstairs and have a look!" Zhang Baoyi pulled Ying Er's hand and the two of them went onto the Fortune Restaurant.
Standing on top of the restaurant, the situation on the street could clearly be seen. Sure enough, a carriage slowly drove past the county magistrate court, and the one driving the carriage was still Wang mama.
Hua Hanyun stared at the cars on the street, and a sneer formed on her lips, while Zhang Haoran became even more exposed, he almost danced on the spot:
"Okay, today I want to see where that Lu fella is going to run to! "Heh heh, Brother Xu and the others are all ready right below the restaurant. It's too late for this kid to run even if he wanted to!" Zhang Haoran said, his face revealing a sinister look.
He looked at Ying Er and pointed downstairs.
It was only then that Ying Er saw that the customers on the first floor of Fortune Restaurant were actually the servants and thugs of Xu Liang and the rest. From a glance, there were around thirty to forty people. When they saw the carriage, they all stood up and walked out of the restaurant one by one.
On the streets, Xu Liang was already at the forefront of the group. When the carriage finally reached the "Ding" intersection, he loudly shouted: "The person on the carriage has rolled down! The heck! You dared to hit my, Xu Liang's, brothers, today, I will take your life! "
