Shen Shaowei smiled and nodded: "That's right, this way we can solve it once and for all."

She came to Chunyuyuan just to help her, but Zhizhi already had a plan, so there was no need for her to make suggestions.

In the front hall, a woman dressed in silk and satin held a tea cup in her hand, her shrewd eyes rolling around Lin Huixin. Lin Huixin calmly drank a sip of tea: "Pei Lian, it's not you who has the final say on this baby's marriage. ? It’s not like our Shen family’s daughter can’t get married, but there’s no reason to turn back.”

Lin Huixin's attitude was high. In the past, when Zhao Peilian came to the Shen family, she never looked like a noble lady. Either she disliked the Shen family's tea, or she disliked the Shen family's snacks for not being exquisite. This time, she was able to persuade her. Back to the game.

"You can't say that, Huixin, Zihua loves Sister Zhi very much. If she gets married, we will treat her as our biological daughter. Our two families are related by marriage. You still can't trust me."

Zhao Peilian was saying flattering words, almost saying that she would marry Shen Zhiyi back home as an ancestral support. Lin Huixin felt a chill in her heart when she looked at her like this. They were the ones who disowned this family at first, but now they are licking her On the face of it, they were the ones asking for marriage.

Why did they let these good guys and bad guys be fooled?

"Mrs. Xiang, why didn't you tell my mother how Xiang Zihua insulted me at the gate of Baihe Academy?"

Shen Zhiyi's voice came from the side hall. The girl was wearing plain clothes, but her beauty could not be concealed. Her small face was as pretty as the color of the most blooming begonia flower in spring, but the look she looked at Zhao Peilian was not so friendly.

"The daughter has met her mother."

She saluted Lin Huixin, pretended to be weak and sat aside. She coughed twice before speaking: "Mother, my daughter heard that Mrs. Xiang was here and said she wanted to propose marriage to her. My daughter was extremely frightened for fear of Mrs. Xiang's clever mouth. , who confuses right and wrong and came here specifically to tell the truth."

Lin Huixin frowned and looked at her: "What happened?"

Shen Zhiyi told everything about what happened at Baihe Academy some time ago. Although there were many people who witnessed it that day, most of them were academy students. It was not the holiday yet, so naturally the news did not reach the city.

"Xiang Zihua never deviates from my personal ethics and does not abide by the rules of women. Is this what he likes?"

"If so, then I really won't be able to enjoy it."

Zhao Peilian opened her mouth to refute Shen Zhiyi, but she saw her covering her lips and coughing softly: "Let me ask Mrs. Shen again, is every word in the marriage certificate you gave my mother true?"

Her eyes lingered on Lin Huixin's hand. Lin Huixin asked Mother Wu beside her to hand over the marriage letter. Shen Zhiyi opened it and read it, his eyes full of coldness. The marriage letter was written in the same way as the Xiang family. It's not relevant at all.

"Xiang Zihua owed three hundred taels from the gambling house, but why did Mrs. Xiang never mention it in the marriage letter? Could it be that she wanted to trick me into marrying her and repay the debt to the Xiang family? She really has a vicious intention."

The marriage certificate fell to the ground with a clatter. Shen Zhiyi leaned on the armrest of the chair, as if he could not bear the humiliation. Lin Huixin heard Zhao Peilian's rebuttal before she could say anything.

"No such thing!"

Shen Zhiyi raised his head and looked at her faintly. Zhao Peilian did not dare to look at her. Seeing her guilty look, Lin Huixin knew that this matter could not be fake. Anger burned in her heart. At this moment, the housekeeper hurried over. Said: "Madam, there is someone outside the door to collect debts."

"What kind of debt are you asking for? My Shen family doesn't owe any money and I won't pay it back."

Lin Huixin sneered and stood up: "Let's go, Mrs. Xiang, and take a look."

The eldest son and the third son of Shen are not at home, and there has never been anyone in the Shen family who likes gambling. Naturally, the debt collector is not asking for money from the Shen family.

Zhao Peilian naturally didn't want to go. Who knew that this debt collector would actually come to Shen's Mansion, but Mother Wu next to Lin Huixin held her up with one hand and dragged her over.

There was a banging sound outside the door, and a circle of people had already gathered around. Shen Zhiyi stood behind the door, watching the debt collector take out the IOU. The leader was a big man with a beard, and a rough voice shouted: "To Zihua owes our gambling house three hundred taels and asked us to withdraw the money here."

"Did you look for the wrong door? This is the Shen Mansion, not the Xiang Mansion."

Lin Huixin stood on the steps. Zhao Peilian lost all her strength when she looked at these people. It's over, it's over. How did these people find the Shen family? Now it's better. Not only is the money not paid, but if Lin Huixin pursues it, she will have to Sue them for a fraudulent marriage.

"It can't be wrong. I told Xiang Zihua that this is his fiancée's house, so I can take it as long as I want."

The big man said Xiang Zihua's words exactly, causing people around him to murmur in whispers. He had already owed a huge debt before he even got married. The Xiang family is really not a thing.

Shen Zhiyi laughed at the neighbor's words, right? If Xiang Zihua was a thing, he wouldn't try to trick her into marrying her. He thought she was who Shen Zhiyi was, and she would come and go as soon as he was called. Of?

"Girl, everything has been settled. The gambling house has collected our money and will never tell anyone about it."

The most important thing for those who work in gambling houses is to be strict with their mouths, so that they can keep secrets for their distinguished guests.

Lu Mei whispered something in Shen Zhiyi's ear, and Shen Zhiyi nodded. Lin Huixin on the other end had long been angry by these words. She threw the marriage certificate to the ground and said sarcastically: "He really dares to say, what about my Shen family?" We were engaged to him when we were engaged, Zhao Peilian, get out of here with your marriage letter full of lies!"

Shen Zhiyi sighed, knowing that her mother had always been soft-hearted. Although she was angry, she just told Zhao Peilian to go away. It seemed that she had to give her mother a strong medicine. She needed to let her know that wildfires cannot burn out, and the spring breeze blows again. The truth of life.

Fortunately, she was prepared in advance. She stretched out her hand to cover her veil, and leaned on Lu Mei with a weak look. She helped her out and walked out. The little girl seemed to be recovering from a serious illness, and her plain dress made her even more fragile.

"Mother, my daughter really didn't expect that Xiang's family was so vicious and wanted to trick her into marrying her."

She coughed and stood swaying in the wind: "Everyone, our Shen family would like to ask you to be witnesses today. This Young Master of the Xiang family insulted me in front of me, and now he has a gambling debt and wants to trick me into marrying him. What a vicious thought."

The beauty was weeping, her figure was slender, and she was very pitiful. Shen Zhiyi lowered his head to hide her face, while Lu Mei stood in front of Shen Zhiyi and raised her voice.

"My girls are responsible for their duties, but Xiang Zihua always looks down on my girl. He insults her in public, completely ignoring the face of the girl's family. The Xiang family didn't want to recognize this family in the first place. Now they are down and out. They owe I can't afford to pay off my gambling debt, so I shamelessly come to propose marriage. This is not marriage fraud, but my poor girl is so angry that she has to come here to clarify the matter while she is still ill."

Lu Mei's words aroused the anger of the onlookers, and they all cursed Xiang Jia. Shen Zhiyi walked up to Lin Huixin and held her hand: "Mother, I am a girl from a good family, and I can never stand what they are doing." Insult, I will go to the Huaijing Yamen today to sue him for cheating the Xiang family into marrying him!"

Shen Zhiyi looked at Lin Huixin, and saw that her eyes were filled with distress and no blame. He stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms: "It was my mother who harmed you. Today, my mother is standing in front of you. I see Who dares to bully you?"

While talking, there was a bang, and a bloody man was thrown into the crowd. Guards in armor evacuated the road. The man's steady footsteps came. Shen Zhiyi looked up and saw Jiang Huaice. Wearing light armor, there are still some blood stains on the saber on his waist, his black hair is flying, and his face is calm.

"Tell me exactly what you said in the city inspection department. If there is even half a lie, I will chop off your head."

The blade of the knife was unsheathed and pointed at the person on the ground. The person knelt down in panic, revealing an unrecognizable face. Zhao Peilian called out Hua'er.

"It's my fault, it's my fault. I shouldn't have deceived the Shen family, I shouldn't have defrauded the marriage. Please forgive me, forgive me, please forgive me."

He kept begging for mercy, and his eyes were full of panic. Jiang Huaice's knife hit him on the shoulder, which made him wet his pants. Zhao Peilian had never seen such a scene before, so she hurried down to help her son.

"You, who are you?!"

She wanted to say more, but Guo Lun scolded her harshly: "If you blind your dog eyes, wouldn't Marquis Changping recognize you?"

But Jiang Huaice ignored them, sheathed his sword, took two steps forward, raised his head slightly and looked at Shen Zhiyi on the steps, a smile appeared on his lips, as if the ice and snow were melting: "It's cold. , Miss Shen Si still needs to wear more clothes."

Shen Zhiyi's eyes were full of alienation, but Jiang Huaice said indifferently: "Aren't we going to the Yamen? It just so happens that I also have official business to go to, so let's come together."

What's wrong, baby, no one is opening up the book review section for me?
