After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou was speechless for a moment. But other people looked at her with somewhat clear eyes. They saw her crying because of Han Yan's kidnapping. Now she not only slapped the legitimate son of the village, but also suspected such a delicate and weak girl. . It seemed that the rumors from people in the capital were true. The Zhou family was indeed at odds with the legitimate son and daughter of the Zhuang Mansion, and the tears she shed just now were just a show.
Zhou's eyes lit up, and she suddenly discovered something, and suddenly said: "Okay, then the fourth lady tells me, if it is not a frame-up, what happened to the guards of the Zhuang Mansion? How did the fourth lady come back in Yu'er's carriage? ? How come you are wearing this kind of clothes?" He turned around and knelt down in front of Zhuang Shiyang: "I beg the master to make the decision for me. I only have a daughter like Yu'er, and she is the center of my heart. If Yu'er has anything If three are long and two are short, I will die."
Zhuang Shiyang was also suspicious, staring at Han Yan with dark eyes. Obviously, he had believed Zhou's words. He helped Mr. Zhou up and comforted him: "I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter, Han Yan." His tone suddenly became gloomy: "What is going on? You are not allowed to deceive your father."
Han Yan looked sad and bowed: "Back to my father, all the guards in the Zhuang Mansion were unconscious when they arrived at Shahetan. Han Yan didn't know what happened. No matter how talented Han Yan was, he still couldn't do it. There was no way he could subdue twelve men with strong martial arts skills. Han Yan's carriage broke down on the way, and with sister Yushan's consent, Han Yan shared the same carriage with her. As for the clothes." A bitter smile appeared on Han Yan's lips: " Han Yan accidentally spilled the tea in the carriage and soiled sister Yushan's cloak. Sister Yushan asked Han Yan to use her own cloak to compensate her. Yun'er was in the carriage at the time and could also do something for Han Yan. testify."
Hearing what she said, people in the hall felt sympathy for Han Yan. It's hard to move around in the house without my mother, but I'm still a father who doesn't care. A concubine, whose cloak was soiled, was able to ask for things from a legitimate daughter. Anyone could hear the grievance in Han Yan's words just now. Thinking about it this way, everyone became a little more disgusted with Zhou's aggressiveness.
"You... you are making excuses!" Mrs. Zhou naturally did not believe Han Yan's words, and now everyone was turning to Han Yan's side, and they were even more flustered. But Han Yan said lightly: "Since Auntie doesn't believe Han Yan no matter what she says, then..." She turned around, slowly walked to a middle-aged man in official uniform, knelt down, and kowtowed heavily. Raising his head, the man was slightly startled. He was about to stop him when the young girl in front of him spoke softly: "The daughter of the people knows that this is Mr. Zhao, the current Shaoqing of Dali Temple. Mr. Zhao is aboveboard and fair. The daughter of the people dares to stand up for herself." I am complaining and begging you to thoroughly investigate this matter and restore the innocence of the citizen girl. Today, in front of all the nobles, I will make the decision for the citizen girl!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhuang Shiyang's and Zhou's faces froze.
Han Yan lowered his head, with a deep smile on his lips.
If you want Zhuang Shiyang to make the decision for you, I want the young master of Dali Temple to make the decision for me. See who can outdo whom
Naturally, Mrs. Zhou did not dare to investigate the case thoroughly, but what if she did? She was not the one who called the bandits, she was not the one who arranged the guards, the spices had long since dissipated, and there was nothing on the meal list. She, Zhuang Hanyan, could at most be accused of misleading the bandits. If so, then it could be called a crime.
Mr. Zhao already sympathized with Han Yan for having to deal with these people with evil intentions at a young age. He liked her even more when he saw that she was neither humble nor overbearing, and acted calmly and appropriately. Han Yan put a tall hat on his head and waved his hand: "So what if I make the decision for you! Don't worry, I will investigate this matter thoroughly!"
Zhou felt her feet go weak and panicked in her heart. This Master Zhao was an unkind person. As long as something was done, he would be dealt with impartially. If found out, she...could she also be imprisoned? No... It can't be like this. She still wants to fight that little bitch. How could she just admit defeat like that? Then he raised his head and looked at Zhuang Shiyang weakly: "Master, this matter cannot be publicized, otherwise how will Yu'er get married..."
Zhuang Shiyang was also very angry that Mr. Zhao refuted his face. He, the head of the family, was right in front of him, but Han Yan asked an outsider for help. Wasn't this a slap in the face? The tone was a little stiff: "Mr. Zhao, this is my official's family matter..."
Master Zhao's face darkened: "Master Zhuang, why did you say this? You and I are officials in the same court and each performs his own duties. Now that the bandits are causing trouble, it is my unshirkable responsibility. I have decided to take charge of this matter!"
Han Yan was a little grateful in her heart. This Lord Zhao was really an upright person. She had only met Lord Zhao once in her previous life, and he was rehabilitating a common woman, and he did not hesitate to offend the powerful people in the dynasty. He was really an upright person. Now that I have his care, I secretly made up my mind that if I have the opportunity in the future, I will repay my favor.
Zhou saw that there was no room for change in the matter. Suddenly, the person who was supposed to be kidnapped by the bandits was safe and sound, but Yu'er's whereabouts were unknown. She got into a lawsuit and gained a reputation as a mean and vicious person in front of the nobles in the capital. Okay, this Zhuang Hanyan, she really underestimated her!
Seeing that she couldn't escape now, Ms. Zhou simply closed her eyes and was about to pretend to faint when she heard an exclamation: "Auntie!"
Aunt Mei on the other side fell into Zhuang Shiyang's arms with a pale face. Zhuang Shiyang frowned and asked, "What's going on? Mei'er?"
Jiao Meng on the side suddenly knelt down and said, "Come back to me, my aunt... my aunt is happy!"
"What?" Zhuang Shiyang was surprised, and then he was overjoyed: "Are you telling the truth?"
Jiao Meng replied: "My aunt only found out about it after asking the doctor a few days ago. I will tell you after a while. If something happened today, my aunt may be anxious and may have fetal contractions..."
The sound of "Boom" was like a thunderbolt from the blue. Zhou's blood suddenly disappeared and her whole body started to tremble. Is that bitch pregnant
Han Yan was stunned at first, and then sighed to herself, Aunt Mei was really good at pinching her at this time. Then she looked at the lost Zhou, with a sneer flashing in her eyes.
Mrs. Zhou, enjoy the gift I gave you. If this is pain, the pain has just begun.
At this moment, Zhuang Shiyang only had eyes for Aunt Mei, and he quickly ordered someone to call the doctor, and he immediately returned home with Aunt Mei in his arms. At this moment, the joy in his heart was greater than anything else. Even the anger towards Han Yan and the worry about Zhuang Yushan disappeared. Mrs. Zhou looked at his ecstatic back coldly. This man once said that he would love her forever and love her daughter, but when that bitch got pregnant, he left him behind.
Her expression turned cold. At this moment, Han Yan clearly felt that something had changed in this woman.
Zhou glanced at Han Yan, then at Zhuang Hanming, then slowly turned around and left. Han Yan knew that Mrs. Zhou already had a problem with Zhuang Shiyang, and what she wanted to do was to make this small gap turn into a huge abyss.
At this time, Han Yan had time to pay attention to Zhuang Qin and her daughter. As soon as she came today, she discovered that Zhuang Qin and her daughter had become extremely alienated. They sat on the side in a dignified manner, with expressionless expressions on their faces. puppet. Just as they were about to say something, Zhuang Qin and Aunt Wan nodded to Han Yan and left.
