Tong Ruyan, who had gotten off the carriage, also heard Tong Ruxin's crazy scream and was a little curious. What was impossible? She turned around and looked over. She was also a little dumbfounded for a moment. How could Tong Ruxin be here
Thinking of what the village chief had done, no, she couldn't admit her identity. She looked at Tong Ruxin and said, "Miss, do we know each other? Or do you have something to talk to me about?"
No, she had to calm Tong Ruxin down and find out why she came here and what she was doing here. It was certain that she was not here to look for her, otherwise she would not be so surprised to see her.
Tong Ruxin calmed down a lot after hearing this. This must be a coincidence, yes, it is a coincidence. Tong Ruyan could not have survived.
"What's your name? How old are you?"
This is to find out her background. Before Tong Ruyan could say anything, the maid beside her had already spoken: "How dare you! Where did this girl come from? She is so rude! How can you find out the identity of my lady? Come on, take her away."
Tong Ruxin was startled. Seeing the driver coming up to chase people away, she quickly said, "No, you can't chase me away. You are Brother Shaohua's fiancée. I am Brother Shaohua's woman. I just came to see what the future mistress looks like. I have no ill intentions. You can't chase me away."
Brother Shaohua? The future mistress? She knew Tong Ruxin's background, and she remembered one thing. Master Fang had gone to Tongjia Village to collect taxes some time ago.
However, she still had some understanding of Master Fang. How could a man like that take a concubine before marrying a wife? What's more, Fang Shaohua didn't have a fiancée at all, and it wasn't her.
It seemed that Tong Ruxin had misunderstood something. She hadn't figured out what was going on yet, but this matter was quite interesting, and she had to find an opportunity to arrest her first.
"The brother Shaohua you are talking about is Mr. Fang, the county magistrate?"
Tong Ruxin nodded: "Yes, that's right. I tell you, Brother Shaohua likes me very much. You can't do anything to me, otherwise Brother Shaohua will not forgive you. Even if you are Brother Shaohua's fiancée, you are not as important as me."
Tong Ruyan just wanted to laugh after hearing this. Today, Fang Shaohua had said explicitly and implicitly that he didn't have any fiancée and no engagement.
Now that such a scene has happened, fortunately she is not Fang Shaohua's fiancée, otherwise she would be so angry that she would die. But this is a ready-made opportunity.
"In that case, please come in with me."
After saying that, he turned around and walked inside. Tong Ruxin was a little scared, but she also felt that if she was scared at this time, wouldn't it be embarrassing? What's more, so many people saw her enter the house today, and she was afraid that this person would dare to harm her.
So he made up his mind and followed Tong Ruyan in. As soon as he entered, the servant closed the door behind him.
When this happened, there were indeed quite a few people gathered at the door to watch the excitement. Now that they saw the door was closed, they realized there was nothing to watch, so they dispersed.
Inside the courtyard, Tong Ruyan turned around and looked at the two maids beside her: "Take her to the woodshed and lock her up. Wait until tomorrow to ask Master Fang to come and see if she is his concubine. If so, let him take her back."
Tong Ruxin was shocked and now she started to get scared: "What are you going to do? You are so brave, why do you lock me up?"
Tong Ruyan smiled and said, "This is my home, take him away."
The two maids also felt that their young lady did not have that much patience, so they walked directly towards Tong Ruxin and said, "Young lady, please come in."
Tong Ruxin was not willing to be caught like this, so she turned around and tried to run away. Unfortunately, the two women were not so easy to get around, and one of them grabbed her arm and dragged her into the woodshed.
After closing the door of the woodshed, Tong Ruxin was not willing to be locked up like this. She was so angry that she banged on the door and shouted, "Open the door for me and let me out."
After receiving Tong Ruyan's order, the two maids locked the person up and stood guard at the door. One of them asked worriedly, "Will there be any problems if she bumps into someone like this?"
The other woman snorted, "We just need to listen to the young lady. When she gets tired, she will stop. Don't worry. Girl inside, I advise you to be obedient. Otherwise, you will suffer, not others."
It was a pity that Tong Ruxin didn't listen and kept knocking on the door. The two maids looked at each other and thought, forget it, if he likes to knock, then let him knock. Even if this man could really knock the door open, with the two of them here, he couldn't run away.
However, Tong Ruxin's arrival made Tong Ruyan a little worried. She had finally reunited with her brother, and now she had such a peaceful life, and she didn't want such a day to be ruined.
When Tong Ruyan thought of the things that happened in Tongjia Village and the days when she was sold to a brothel, her face turned ugly.
Yes, Tong Ruxin doesn’t know it now, but when she goes back and tells her grandfather about her situation and he sees what happened to her, she will definitely not be able to hide her identity.
Having been to a brothel was her biggest stain. Once people knew about it, she would have trouble attending school, not to mention getting married. So she absolutely couldn't let anyone know. And Tong Ruxin, who could read and speak, was a major threat.
She was so restless right now that she took a deep breath and turned to look at the maid beside her: "Go and ask my eldest brother to come back. I have something to ask him."
The maid immediately went out to tell someone to bring Tong Ruyu back and looked at Tong Ruyan: "Xiaoyan, you are looking for me. Did something happen at home?"
Tong Ruyan looked at the maids beside her and said, "All of you go down."
Even the servants have to go out, it seems that the matter is not small. Tong Ruyu looked at Tong Ruyan with some confusion, waiting for Tong Ruyan to speak.
When only Tong Ruyan and Tong Ruyu were left in the room, Tong Ruyan spoke up: "Tong Ruxin came today and I locked her up in the woodshed."
Tong Ruyu was also stunned: "Tong Ruxin? Why is she here? What's going on? Why did you lock her up?"
They have now completely settled down in the town and are not afraid of the Tong family at all. Tong Ruyan looked at Tong Ruyu and said, "Brother, her grandfather must have been the one who sold me to the brothel. Even if she doesn't know about it now, her existence is too threatening to me."
"Once people know that I stayed in the brothel, how can I face others? Even if others know, the county magistrate has always sent people to protect me in secret. I am innocent. But how many people do you think will believe it?"
Yes, rumors can kill people. This person is his sister. Tong Ruyu began to think about it. How could he bear to let his sister face such a thing
He took a deep breath and said, "I understand. Don't worry, little sister. I will have someone look after Tong Ruxin. I will take care of her problems. Besides her, there is also her grandfather."
The matter of the Mountain God's Bride must be resolved as soon as possible. After all, there is hatred in his heart. However, for such things, one needs to find an opportunity.
Tong Ruyan nodded: "I believe my brother can handle it, but it's strange that she came up and said that she was Master Fang's concubine and regarded me as Master Fang's fiancée."
Tong Ruyu's mouth twitched: "You and Master Fang?"
Tong Ruyan shook her head: "I actually don't plan to get married, and I don't have a lover. Brother, don't get me wrong, Master Fang and I have only met a few times. If there is more contact, it was today when I helped him unintentionally."
"What I mean is that Tong Ruxin doesn't know about me yet, so we just need to prevent her from going home. Do we need to inform Master Fang about this?"
Tong Ruyu meant not to notify, but Tong Ruyan didn't think so. In fact, she had always been jealous of Tong Ruxin, who was the granddaughter of the village chief.
Especially in the few years when she thought her brother was dead, Tong Ruxin bullied her unscrupulously, which made her very dissatisfied. Now that she finally has the opportunity, of course she wants revenge.
Tong Ruyu thought, as long as Tong Ruxin couldn't go back to Tong Village, it would be fine: "Okay, you can do whatever you want."
Tong Ruyan smiled and said, "Thank you, brother. Let's lock her up for two or three days. I'm sure Master Fang will come to thank us within these two or three days. We can talk about this matter then."
Tong Ruyu found that Tong Ruyan had already thought about the follow-up of this matter, so he didn't say much, just looked at Tong Ruyan: "When Master Fang comes, you notify me, I will come back to accompany you, don't meet the guests alone."
Tong Ruyan said that she understood, and sent Tong Ruyu out with two "yeahs". At this time, Master Fang, after seeing Tong Ruyan off, did go to the county government office.
Of course, he didn't do anything, he came to the county government office just to spend more time with Tong Ruyan. Now that everyone had left, he went in to find a yamen runner to take him home.
He was still quite tired now, and it was easy for him to get into trouble if he went home alone. A yamen runner sent Master Fang home, and Fang's father and mother were shocked: "Shaohua, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing his parents worried, Fang Shaohua still smiled: "I'm fine, just too tired. The adults also gave me a holiday, and the lady gave me some medicine. When Xiaoxi comes back, I'll ask Xiaoxi to help me boil the medicine. I just need to rest for two days."
In the past two days, Master Fang has been running back and forth between many villages. How can it not be tiring? It is very tiring, and the child is even sick from exhaustion.
After giving the medicine to Fang's mother, Fang Shaohua returned to his room and began to look at the exercises given by Mu Yexiao. If he wanted to practice every day in the future, he would have to get up half an hour earlier to practice.
After school, Fang Xiaoxi came back and learned that her brother was sick and needed medicine. She didn't say anything and went to help boil the medicine.
