Chapter 116 The County Magistrate's Son's Troublemaking
Jiang Shuyue suddenly remembered, wasn’t the girl Xiao Lin liked in his previous life Shen Zhihuan?
In this life, he seemed to have only met Shen Zhihuan once, and there didn't even seem to be any special feelings between them.
"Then what you said before..." Jiang Shuyue looked at him hesitantly, "You lied to me?"
Xiao Lin grinned, "What do you think?"
"How should I know?" Jiang Shuyue didn't know if she was blushing, but she could feel her face getting hot.
"Sister, brother-in-law, why don't you two go home? Auntie told you to go back and eat."
Jiang Liuyun's voice broke the silence, and he waved at the two of them, "Brother-in-law, what are you holding?"
"Oh, a rabbit, such a big rabbit. We'll have rabbit meat to eat tonight!" Jiang Liuyun was as happy as a child.
To be sure, he was also a child, but Jiang Shuyue had never seen such a smile in his previous life.
"I'll peel it and prepare it when I get home, and have your sister stew it for you. You're still growing, so you need to eat more meat so you can grow taller."
"Can you grow this tall?" Jiang Liuyun asked again.
Jiang Shuyue followed behind the two of them, watching them talking to each other, and in a trance she actually felt like they were a real family.
But it's just a thought.
The next day, Jiang Shuyue went to the county to buy some processed leather. These were used to make clothes and hats, and were not sold in the town.
Since they were already there, she would deliver the finished bags to the guests so that they wouldn't have to wait any longer.
"Cousin, I brought the bags. Please take a look." Jiang Shuyue put down the three bags she had prepared and said.
Jiang Shulan was greeting guests, a man and a woman. They looked like two generations, and it was unclear if they were mother and son.
Jiang Shuyue knew that it was not easy to do business without going through a middleman, so she planned to leave right away.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Shulan stopped her and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? I have a distinguished guest here. Madam Hong is the wife of our county magistrate. She also likes your bag. Come here quickly."
Jiang Shuyue didn't want to have anything to do with the county magistrate's family, so she went to buy bags. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Hong didn't move, but the man turned around and looked at Jiang Shuyue with interest.
"Cousin, you know I'm not good at talking and I'm afraid I won't be able to greet Madam well. Please tell me what Madam wants later."
Jiang Shulan was surprised. What happened to Shuyue today?
She is not the dumbest, she can speak more eloquently than I can.
But she said so, and I couldn't spoil it. "Then go and do your work. Madam Hong, look at these finished products. Which one do you like? I'll have someone send it to your house later."
Jiang Shuyue breathed a sigh of relief and was about to leave, but Hong Tianyao suddenly stopped her and said, "Wait."
Jiang Shuyue cried out inwardly, "Oh no!"
"Are you Jiang Shuyue?" Hong Tianyao asked with a smile.
Jiang Shuyue lowered his head and whispered, "Yes, what do you want, Master Hong?"
"She looks good." Hong Tianyao smiled roguely, "Yan Jiu really has good taste."
Jiang Shuyue knew what was going on, but Jiang Shulan was confused. She naturally knew that Yan Jiu had injured the county magistrate's son, but she didn't know the relationship between Jiang Shuyue and Yan Jiu.
"Master Hong, my cousin is an honest person and she's married. She doesn't know what's wrong with you. Did you misunderstand?"
Jiang Shuyue was very grateful that Jiang Shulan chose to stand on her side at this time.
However, she didn't want to implicate her.
"Don't know her? Ask her if she knows Yan Jiu. Or did she not tell you that she is the woman Yan Jiu has been protecting."
Jiang Shulan was stunned for a moment, obviously she really didn't know.
Hong Tianyao took two steps forward, and Jiang Shuyue realized that his leg was lame.
It should be Yan Jiu who hit it accidentally.
No wonder he hated Yan Jiu so much. You have to know that in this dynasty, people with disabilities or facial disfigurement are not allowed to take the imperial examinations, and Hong Tianyao's path is completely blocked. He has wasted his father's support.
Mrs. Hong glared at Jiang Shuyue with hatred and said fiercely, "Where is that fellow Yan Jiu? Where is he? Tell me."
Jiang Shulan was stunned when she saw this, and then she rushed over to protect Jiang Shuyue, "Mrs. Hong, Master Hong, my sister is really an honest person. She doesn't even dare to speak loudly. There must be a misunderstanding here. Shuyue, you don't know Yan Jiu at all, right?"
Jiang Shuyue was very grateful. Although she called Jiang Shulan her cousin, they were not related by blood at all.
But at this time, she was willing to offend two big shots in order to protect herself.
She pushed Jiang Shulan's hand away and said, "I know Yan Jiu, but I really don't know where he is."
"What if I capture you, find a few beggars to treat you well, and spread the word, do you think Yan Jiu will come?"
Jiang Shuyue wanted to curse, "Despicable."
But she knew that Hong Tianyao was really capable of doing it.
Having lived so many more years in her previous life, she also knew that she should not provoke the powerful.
Therefore, it would do no good for me to shout at this moment.
"Master Hong, please don't scare me. I'm not that familiar with Yan Jiu. I've only met him two or three times. Others don't know where he is, so how would I know?"
Hong Tianyao stared at Jiang Shuyue again, "But he treats you differently."
"Yao'er, why are you wasting so much time talking to her? Just take her back and let your father torture her severely. I don't believe she won't tell you."
Jiang Shulan was so frightened that her face turned pale. "Madam, Madam, you can't do this!"
"This has nothing to do with you." Mrs. Hong looked down at Jiang Shuyue, "You decide whether to tell me or not."
From the actions of this mother and son, we can see how County Magistrate Hong abuses his power and bullies the people in this small county.
"Madam...Madam..." Jiang Shulan still wanted to beg for mercy, and she pulled Jiang Shuyue's hand again.
Jiang Shuyue could feel her hands were cold, even colder than his own. "She really doesn't know anything. You see, she is an honest person. Yan Jiu is really not a good person. He has done a lot of harm to people."
Xiao Lin waited outside for a while but Jiang Shuyue didn't come in, so he wanted to come in to take a look, and ended up seeing this scene.
He frowned slightly, "Wife, go back after delivering the things."
Jiang Shuyue knew that Xiao Lin couldn't help her now, but Xiao Lin seemed not to see her eyes. He walked straight into the room, then took her hand and prepared to leave.
"Stop, who are you?" Mrs. Hong asked coldly.
Xiao Lin didn't look back, "I am her husband, she is my wife."
These words were so powerful that Jiang Shuyue's heart trembled, as if a mountain was standing firmly in front of him.
"Hehe, do you know that your wife and Yan Jiu are not in a clear relationship?"
Xiao Lin looked at him coldly, "Yan Jiu is Yan Jiu, my wife is my wife, what's unclear about it?"
Hong Tianyao took a deep breath and said, "Do you know who I am? How dare you talk to me like that?"
