Author: Dream Builder

Han Yongzhu watched through the window lattice as Aunt Tao straightened her back and walked out with the two officials, her brows furrowed. When she could no longer see Aunt Tao, she raised her voice and ordered someone to hitch the carriage.

"Girl, where are you going?" the maid on the side asked worriedly.

Before leaving, Grandma Tao specifically asked them to keep an eye on the girl and not let her go out to cause trouble at this juncture. If anything happens, wait until she comes back.

Han Yongzhu just glanced at the maid, who immediately didn't dare to say anything. The carriage was quickly hitched, she grabbed the heavy cloak and put it on her body, hurriedly got on the carriage and went straight to the original residence.

In order to get closer to Brother Yuan, she directly bribed a servant of Yuan Mansion, and then she knew that Yuan Hao was in the manor today, so before approaching Yuan Mansion, she deliberately tore her hair in the carriage.

A little bit, and I also messed up my makeup a little bit. In short, the desired effect is to look slightly embarrassed but still beautiful.

She felt that everything about herself was perfect. As soon as she entered the Yuan Mansion and saw Zhan Xin who hurriedly came out to greet her, she said with tears in her eyes, "Where is Brother Yuan? I have something urgent to see him."

"Your Excellency is receiving guests..."

Han Yongzhu didn't want to listen to what he said, so she pushed him away and rushed into the house.

Zhan Xin did not dare to block her future mistress.

Not long after, Han Yongzhu barged into the study. Yuan Hao, who was talking to someone about something, changed his expression. He looked at Han Yongzhu who had walked in with red eyes, and then he glared at Zhan Yongzhu, who was ineffective in doing things.

Xin, didn’t you see there are still guests today?

The guest was also surprised for a moment, but when he saw the young woman who came in crying and throwing herself at Yuan Hao, he immediately smiled knowingly. It turned out to be Yuan Hao's confidante.

He thought he had the wisdom to stand up and leave. Anyway, we had already finished talking, so there was no need to disturb others to coax the beautiful lady.

Yuan Hao wanted to push Han Yongzhu away, but Han Yongzhu held on tightly and refused to let go. He could not move, so he had to smile awkwardly at the guest and asked Zhan Xin to see him off for him.

After the guests left, he pushed Han Yongzhu away with a serious expression, "Miss Han, what are you doing?"

However, Han Yongzhu still refused to give up and grabbed his sleeves and cried, "Brother Yuan, please help me. Aunt Tao was taken away by the parents of Yiyang City. What should I do now? This is not the capital. I

I have no one to rely on, and there is no one I can rely on except you... Wuwu..."

Yuan Hao frowned, "You're so good, why did he arrest your nanny?"

Han Yongzhu shook her head, "I don't know either. Aunt Tao is my mother's wet nurse. It's thanks to her that I was able to reach Yiyang City safely to see my former eldest brother. If there is something wrong with her, what will happen to me after I return to Beijing?

Explain to my mother? Besides, I can’t bear the thought of Grandma Tao still suffering in prison at her old age. Brother Yuan, please help me..."

Yuan Hao looked at the woman in front of him, her tears falling like pearls one by one. Even though she didn't like Han Yongzhu, she came to Yiyang City for her own sake. Thinking of this, her hard-hearted heart softened.

.

"Don't cry yet, I'll go over and take a look."

After getting his promise, Han Yongzhu broke into a smile. Unseen by Yuan Hao, she curled her lips with satisfaction at her performance.

In the courtroom, Aunt Tao walked in with the two officials with a haughty look on her face. She first looked at Chang Xi, and her eyes met with Chang Xi's in the distance, and sparks suddenly flew everywhere.

Seeing Chang Xi smiling provocatively at her, her face immediately darkened, but she boasted that she had eaten more salt than she had eaten rice, so she quickly calmed down.

Seeing the official slap the gavel, she immediately saluted, then took out the name card from her sleeve and went straight forward to hand it to her parents in Yiyang City.

Mr. Zhou was slightly startled. This old woman was dressed more decently than many wealthy ladies in Yiyang City, and her demeanor was very similar to the respectable servants of aristocratic families he had seen in the capital. These findings made him

He was on guard subconsciously.

"This is the name card of my Marquis."

Mr. Zhou saw the old woman placing an exquisite name card in front of him. He took a closer look and saw that it was the name card of the Han family of the Mighty Marquis Mansion. Now he knew it well.

Chang Xi had always paid attention to the changes in Mr. Zhou's expression. One look at his expression and she knew that Aunt Tao's background had restrained him, but she was not surprised by this scene.

There are a few people in the officialdom who are really not afraid of power. Mr. Zhou is too far away from the powerful Han family. If he really reports to the Duke, his official career will be in doubt. Let alone return to be a capital official in this life.

It's difficult to even move up one liter.

Anyway, her goal has been achieved, and there is no need to worry about the rest. She has plenty of time to deal with her slowly.

Sure enough, next, Mr. Zhou asked a few questions as usual if Aunt Tao knew this charlatan. Aunt Tao always answered that she didn't know him and had never seen him. Even if the swindler gave more evidence, it would be of no avail.

In the end, Mr. Zhou hastily closed the case, took the charlatan into custody and reported him to other places, and then reported him together to convict him.

Many people were dissatisfied with this ending and felt it was hasty, but it was nothing to do with them, so they just discussed it for a few times and then dispersed.

Aunt Tao looked at Chang Xi, still holding the name card in her hand, "Ms. Chang, if I were you, I would stop trying to jump around. This would be humiliating myself."

Chang Xi glanced at the flamboyant name card and said, "The Mighty Marquis Mansion is really domineering, but the dog fights with human power. If one day the dog is useless, the owner may not even want to leave the whole body."

It is, after all, a dog. No matter how much it wears human skin and learns to speak from humans, it is still a dog."

Aunt Tao's proud expression froze for a moment. This bitch actually compared her to a dog. She was so angry that she raised her hand and wanted to slap Chang Xi.

Chang Xi grabbed it with quick eyesight and then threw it away unceremoniously. At this moment, she also turned cold and said, "I am not a servant of the Weiwu Hou Mansion. If you want to slap me, there is no way! I respect you as an old man today."

, I won’t argue with you, but if there is a next time, I won’t be polite.”

Aunt Tao wished she could eat Chang Xi.

Chang Dadou and Mrs. Li, who were still in the courtroom, were stunned when they heard the three words "Weiwuhou Mansion" and could not recover until Chang Xi and Aunt Tao came and went.

After arguing for several times, the two finally came to their senses.

"His father is the Mighty Marquis Mansion, right?"

Mr. Li will never forget what happened on that rainy night.

When I first came to the capital with my husband, I wanted to join my distant relatives who had become prosperous, and I wanted to sit against a big tree to enjoy the shade.

As for the so-called wealthy distant relatives, they only served as inconspicuous rough servants in the Hou Mansion. When they came to visit them, they first put on airs and entertained them with food and drinks, but said nothing about helping them gain a foothold in the capital.

carry.

The couple had no ability to find other livelihoods. When they were at a loss, the relative suddenly said one day that there was an opportunity to make money. Do they want it? The reward was fifteen taels of silver, but they had to leave the capital and return to the countryside immediately.

Isn’t it stupid to have money but not make it?

Just like that, that rainy night, relatives thrust a newborn baby into their hands. The couple were dumbfounded at the time. How could it be a child?

However, the relative changed his usual kind face and gave them fifteen taels of silver. "Take this child and leave quickly. Don't look back. Don't even think about leaving him alone halfway. Be careful that you won't get any good results by then."

eat."

"No, this... this is a newborn child..." Ms. Li was still young at the time, and she was still in awe.

"Don't ask so many questions. In short, remember what I say. Take this child back so that he can have a baby and raise him. These fifteen taels of silver are yours. Think about this money. Have you and your wife ever seen so much money in your life?"

I've never seen that before.

"That's alright, don't ask too much, don't say too much, just leave."

Looking back on the scene at that time, Chang Dadou felt that he was so cowardly at that time, why didn't he know how to get more benefits?

However, this matter has become a secret that the couple cannot tell anyone. For many years, they have not dared to go to the capital to ask for more benefits. Now that I think about it, it feels silly. No matter what the origin of the child they brought in, it has something to do with the Weiwu Marquis Mansion.

If we really want to dig deeper, it shouldn't be them who are afraid.

The black-hearted couple looked at each other and saw the fire in each other's eyes.

Yes, they were barefooted and not afraid of those wearing shoes, so they all focused on Aunt Tao. If they didn't target this person, they would target the white-eyed wolf. This already explained the problem.

Aunt Tao felt fiery eyes staring at her from behind. She turned around suddenly and saw the greedy eyes of Chang Dadou and Li. She immediately felt disgusted and turned around to leave.

Unexpectedly, Chang Dadou and Li Shi reacted very quickly this time and immediately got involved.

"This nanny, you look very familiar. My husband and I have been to the capital and met you at the gate of Weiwuhou Mansion. Haha, you are still the same as before..."

Li was very subtle and pointed out all the elements.

Chang Dadou smiled flatteringly, but there was also a fierce glint in his eyes, "Oh, it was raining that night. How is my relative? You said you are pregnant..." At this point, he paused deliberately and looked at Chang.

Xi glanced in the direction, full of hints.

Grandma Tao now knew what the couple was up to. She had never expected that these two mangy dogs were hiding here and preparing to bite someone.

She also followed Chang Dadou's gaze and looked at Chang Xi. She saw Chang Xi frowning slightly but not suspicious. She felt a little relieved and made a gesture to the evil couple. After both parties understood, she raised her voice.

He said, "I don't know what nonsense you are talking about. Get out of here quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

Mrs. Li then grabbed her husband and smiled apologetically at Aunt Tao, "You admitted the wrong person. Don't be upset, Auntie."

Aunt Tao was able to escape smoothly, but her back was soaked. This evil couple who suddenly appeared brought her a new round of danger. She had to think carefully about how to deal with it calmly.

OK.

What was hateful was that Chang Xi was caught in the middle, so she had to think of a foolproof plan.
