Liu Mu's slap came so suddenly that Jin Chan almost lost her balance. She looked at Liu Mu in surprise, and bright red fingerprints quickly appeared on her face.
Xia Mingzhong stood outside the house, slightly shocked by this inexplicable slap. He held the nullah knife in his arms and continued to watch the upcoming turmoil of the family in the house calmly.
Liu Jian saw Jin Chan being beaten, and the one who beat her was his mother. He was stunned for a moment, and then he shouted dissatisfied: "Mom! You asked me to talk to her, but it's better for you to come here!"
We just want to have a good talk. What are you going to do by hitting someone? What can I say now?!" After saying that, he turned his head and became angry and stopped talking.
Jin Chan raised her hand to caress the beaten cheek, and looked at Liu's mother without fear, but the words were addressed to Liu Jian, she said: "There was nothing to say, but now we are no longer a family.
, I can say a few polite words to you because I still think about the love between husband and wife in the past, and there is still some family affection. Since the face is torn, then everyone doesn’t need to pretend to be confused. This time
I'll just accept the slap. Your mother is an elder, so I can't say anything more. I can't slap you back or report it to the official, right?"
Liu Jian was just thinking about how to reply, but Mother Liu pointed at Jin Chan, trembling with anger: "Listen to what you are saying? It's what your father is used to! In the past few years, in our Liu family, who has not been holding the favor?
Are you following you? Are you really so arrogant that you think you are a few pounds heavier than others? My son is honest, but I am not stupid. I have lived for decades and have never seen any storms!"
Jin Chan said coldly: "You can just talk about me. Why are you mentioning my father? A person who is no longer here will be dragged out by you to accuse him, right?"
Mother Liu's voice weakened a bit, but she still said unwillingly: "In short, nothing can be done by you. If you say we want to make peace, we will make peace. Have you ever asked Jian'er what you mean? Do you know that our Liu family, because of you,
Now it has become a joke among the neighbors!"
Jin Chan just responded truthfully: "If I hadn't asked him what he meant, how could he have agreed to divorce in the first place?"
"You're talking nonsense!" Mother Liu's voice, which had just weakened, was raised again by Jin Chan. She glared at Jin Chan like she was looking at the most hateful person in the world, and said, "You just think that my son is honest and stupid.
, and you don’t have any ideas, so you tricked him into agreeing to divorce with you!"
Jin Chan sneered and said, "You are so stupid and have no ideas. You should ask yourself." Faced with Mother Liu's forceful approach, Jin Chan refused to admit defeat and dismissed her. She pretended to be surprised and said, "That's not true."
Do you want to blame me? Wasn't he born in your tenth month of pregnancy? Don't you know whether he is stupid or not? "
Jin Chan's provocative words finally angered Mother Liu completely. Mother Liu wanted to throw herself in front of Jin Chan, but Jin Chan, who was alert in advance, quickly dodged her. Mother Liu jumped away and lay on the ground.
On the dilapidated wooden table, it's very embarrassed. Update without mistakes@
"You, you!" Mother Liu was so angry that she hammered her heart and said, "Since you can't listen, then we won't be polite! Do you think that if you don't go home, you are getting rid of this family? Don't forget
Liu Jian hasn't written the letter of reconciliation yet. Without the letter of reconciliation, you are still husband and wife! Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. Don't you just want to climb a new branch? Then I will let Jian'er live forever.
Let’s see what you can do with Li Shu?!”
Jin Chan was quite calm at first. Even after being slapped and hearing so many unpleasant words, she was able to maintain her composure and had several verbal battles with Liu Mu. But after Liu Mu said these last words
, Jin Chan’s expression obviously changed.
"How dare you!" Jin Chan almost screamed, her voice angry and sharp. She shouted uncontrollably to Liu Jian: "What do you want when you come to me? There is no such thing as a king's law in this world.
? Why do you keep forcing me like this, why do you have to lock me up in your Liu family like an object?!"
Liu Jian was silent for a long time, and finally spoke out. His voice was not loud, but he was clearly speaking what was in his heart: "Chan'er, I don't want to lock you up, but you are indeed the one I hired to marry you home."
My wife, I know that what I can give you is limited, and I cannot let you live a rich life in this life, but I still want to continue to be with you, even if it is just ordinary..."
"But I don't want to!" Jin Chan yelled crazily: "I don't want to, I don't want to!"
She randomly picked up an old pair of scissors on the table and pointed it at her neck, saying in a trembling voice: ".
You should hurry up and leave my place. I told you that I still have orders to make. I am coming back to get the medicinal materials. You should leave quickly, I don’t want to see you!"
Seeing Jin Chan's excitement, Liu's mother quickly pulled Liu Jian over and said, "Jian'er, let's go back first. You can talk to her again in two days when she feels better."
Jin Chan said angrily: "I told you not to come to me again. I've said it so many times. Don't you understand human language?"
Mother Liu moved her lips, then swallowed what she was about to say, so she had no choice but to pull Liu Jian's sleeves and leave with small steps.
It wasn't until Mother Liu and Liu Jian were completely gone that Jin Chan took a breath. She slowly slid to the ground weakly, wiping her tears silently.
Xia Mingzhong originally wanted to ask Jin Chan for questioning after the mother and son left, but when he saw Jin Chan crying, he hesitated and still didn't show up.
After Jin Chan finished crying and tidied herself up, and prepared the medicinal materials to be taken away one by one, and loaded them onto the carriage not far away, Xia Mingzhong slowly walked out from behind the old house.
He deliberately took a small path and made a long detour from the old house, only to "accidentally" encounter Jin Chan who was about to leave here.
Jin Chan stopped the carriage, saw the person standing in front of the carriage, and called out in surprise: "Master Xia? Why are you here?"
Xia Mingzhong said: "I came to see you. It's better to come early than to come by chance. Fortunately, I met you."
"Looking for me?" Jin Chan quickly got off the carriage, walked to Xia Mingzhong, and said: "I have delivered all the medicinal materials needed in the palace, but are there any medicines that are insufficient and need to be replenished?"
Xia Mingzhong shook his head and said: "It's not about the medicinal materials. I'm looking for you this time because I want to ask you something."
Jin Chan respectfully said: "Lord Xia, you might as well say it straight. """""
Xia Mingzhong said directly: "Miss Guan lost something very important. She has a book that she uses every day, but two days ago she found that a chapter was missing from the book. I have already asked everyone in the palace
The servants also found out that they did not see it." His eyes were as sharp as the eyes of an eagle, locking Jin Chan's eyes tightly, and said: "Now you are the only one left, Miss Jin Chan, are you there?
Have you seen Miss Guan’s book?”
Jin Chan blinked her eyelashes lightly, and her clear eyes met Xia Mingzhong's probing eyes. She said calmly: "I have seen it."
Xia Mingzhong's expression softened slightly, his eyes were shining, and he quickly said: "How do you say it?"
Jin Chan said: "I was probably the first person to know that Miss Guan had lost her book. After she lost something that day, I was the first person she came to find." She seemed a little helpless and smiled bitterly:
"Actually, it's not surprising that Miss Guan would be suspicious of me. After all, I am the only outsider in the palace, and anyone would be the first to guess whether I took it. Isn't it strange, Mr. Xia, aren't you also suspicious?
Me?"
Xia Mingzhong hesitated and said calmly: "The things lost are extraordinary. As long as they are people who have stayed in the palace, I will be suspicious of everyone."
Jin Chan smiled playfully after hearing this. She raised her head and said warmly to Xia Mingzhong: "But Master Xia didn't know something. Miss Guan originally lost the entire book. That day she and the maid Yue Xin broke into my house directly.
In the house, I happened to meet them when I came back, and when I heard clearly what they wanted to do, we searched together in the backyard of the palace." She said with some pride: "I searched back and forth several times, but I was the one who finally found the book. At that time
Just throw it in the garden!”
Xia Mingzhong looked at Jin Chan's smiling face thoughtfully, and saw that there was no trace of panic or fear on her face. Instead, she kept describing everything about that day to him politely. Her smile and her tone fully proved that
She is just a little girl who does good things and is waiting to be praised.
"Did Miss Guan say there was a missing page in it?" Jin Chan asked tentatively, "Is it a very important part?"
Xia Mingzhong replied calmly: "Since any book has chapters, it must be important. Whenever you read a book, you will know that if there is a break in each book, it will definitely affect the reader's understanding of the entire book.
understanding.”
Jin Chan stuck out his tongue, scratched his head like a child, and said with a sweet smile: "Mr.
, I only know a few words. Don’t laugh at me if I don’t understand anything.”
Xia Mingzhong felt a little lonely and said: "You worry too much about me.
Never laugh at anyone."
"I'm really sorry that I couldn't help Mr. Xia." Jin Chan pointed to the carriage behind him and said, "I still have a few orders to deliver, so I have to leave first."
Xia Mingzhong silently moved out of the way and said, "Well, excuse me."
Jin Chan returned to the carriage and was about to leave when she heard Xia Mingzhong say: "Wait a minute!"
Jin Chan leaned out and asked doubtfully, "Do you have any more questions? Mr. Xia."
Xia Mingzhong said: "Miss Jin Chan, you don't live here on weekdays, right?" He walked to the carriage and said: "If it's convenient, please leave your address."
The corner of Jin Chan's mouth moved slightly, and he asked Xia Mingzhong warily, "Is there anything else you don't understand? Or do you think you don't believe what I said and want to search my house?"
Xia Mingzhong smiled lightly, holding the nullah knife and replied easily: "Miss Jin Chan, why are you so nervous?"
Jin Chan blushed, forced a smile and said: "I thought you didn't believe what I said..."
"If you tell the truth, you shouldn't worry about whether others believe it or not." Xia Mingzhong said frankly: "What's more, I asked you for your address because I just wanted to order some supplements with you when I have free time.
Where are the medicines for the body?”
Xia Mingzhong pointed to the carriage filled with medicinal materials behind Jin Chan, and said: "I heard that your medicinal materials are very good, and the quality is considered to be excellent.@·The first time without mistake~~"
His voice was very calm, as if he was born with unfathomable power: "You are the only one doing conscientious business in the entire capital, aren't you?".
