Chapter 1006 What's An's Intention
Lai Xi rubbed his hands anxiously, "What should we do? Otherwise, brothers, let's fight her.
How could this old woman be so unreasonable?
It's clearly her housekeeper who has bad intentions, yet she comes to pick a fight with the lady."
Li Yun listened to Madam Zhang's quarrel outside and sighed, "How could this person be like this!
Is she getting old and confused and has lost her judgment?"
Lai Xi thought for a moment and said, "Sister Yang, why don't we report it to the police?"
Lai Xi himself laughed, "Sister Yang, the police are right outside, why are you reporting to them?"
"I'll go in and see if the lady is awake."
After she pushed the door open, she looked at Zhang Juexia who was sleeping soundly, gritted her teeth, made up her mind, and went forward to wake Zhang Juexia up.
Zhang Juexia was suddenly woken up and was about to lose her temper. She opened her eyes and saw Li Yun standing in front of her, looking at her apologetically.
She also put away her morning grumpiness and asked, "Sister Yang, is there something wrong?"
Li Yun pointed outside, and Zhang Juexia happened to hear Madam Zhang's voice, "Zhang Juexia, stop pretending.
I know you are home. My people saw you coming back from outside.
I tell you, if you don’t come out, I’ll go in and find you.”
Zhang Juexia picked up the quilt and covered his head helplessly, "Why is she here?"
"I didn't expect this old guy to be so protective of his own son. He came here because of Butler Zhang's matter.
Madam, I heard that this old lady is from a noble family, and her ability to curse is much better than ours."
"Not only is he much stronger, even if Qin Eryong's grandmother, Qin Pozi, came, she would admit she is inferior."
"We chased our people away, but they couldn't be driven away.
Lai Xi and the others also wanted to carry her away like last time.
She ended up holding onto the chair with both hands, making it difficult for them to move."
Although Zhang Juexia was very reluctant, she also knew that if she didn't show up today, Old Madam Zhang would probably keep making trouble in her house.
To be honest, Mrs. Zhang is old and has become thick-skinned, but she can't do that. She still has to save face.
"Sister Yang, go get me a basin of water so I can wash my face and refresh myself before going out to talk to Old Madam Zhang."
Li Yun quickly brought water. After Zhang Juexia washed her face, she sat in front of the mirror and tidied herself up.
She put on a few more pieces of gold jewelry to give herself courage!
When she went out, she was still wondering, was it really because of Butler Zhang that Madam Zhang did this today?
She took Li Yun, followed by Lai Xi and Lai Fu, to the living room in front to meet Mrs. Zhang.
At this time, Mrs. Zhang was tired of scolding and was closing her eyes to rest!
In fact, she was not sure in her heart, but she understood that in an argument, morale cannot be lost.
She opened her eyes when she heard footsteps, and when she saw that the person coming was Zhang Juexia, she snorted coldly, "You are here after all."
Zhang Juexia politely bowed to Old Madam Zhang, "Please forgive me, Madam!
I was so tired these past few days that I actually fell asleep.”
“Who knows if you are really asleep or just pretending to be asleep.
It's not pleasant to be a coward anyway."
“It seems that the old lady has experienced it personally.”
"you......"
Zhang Juexia sat on the chair to the right of Old Madam Zhang, "I wonder why Old Madam came home?"
"Zhang Juexia, stop playing dumb. What did my housekeeper Zhang do wrong that you actually reported him to the authorities?"
"Old Madam, is it any use asking me what your housekeeper has done wrong?
Also, you said I should report him to the authorities, but do you have any evidence?
Even you, my old man, can testify for me, and I am just sleeping soundly at home!"
"Zhang Juexia, don't make excuses.
The official from the government office said that it was Zhuangzi's matter that led to the news being passed to Zhang Guanjia."
"Old Madam, I still want to remind you that if you want to know the truth of the matter, it's best to let Butler Zhang follow the officials to the government office!
This way, the old lady won’t bite anyone randomly.”
"you......"
Butler Zhang knelt on the ground again, begging Madam Zhang to find a way to prevent him from going to the government office, "Madam, I am the butler of the Zhang family, and I am bringing shame to the Zhang family!
Please, old lady, save me!"
To be honest, Madam Zhang had been making a fuss at Zhang Juexia's place for a while, and the officials waiting outside were already getting impatient.
"Let's go in and urge them to hurry up. If we delay the adults' business, I'm afraid we'll get beaten."
"Go in and hurry up!"
Madam Zhang became increasingly impatient when she heard the officials outside urging her. "Zhang Juexia, you'd better tell me the truth, otherwise, I won't forgive you."
"Old Madam, I still say the same thing. When Butler Zhang arrives at the government office, you will know the truth."
"you......"
The official outside urged again, "Old Madam, please don't make things difficult for us.
If we delay the adults from solving the case, neither you nor I can bear the consequences.
Besides, our master only asked Butler Zhang to go over and question him."
Butler Zhang knelt on the ground, hugging Madam Zhang's legs, "Madam, please save me!
If I had gone to the government office, I would have been dead.
You also know that Mrs. Ye holds a grudge against me because of Zhuangzi's matter.
Also, old lady, she not only secretly hates me, but also has some complaints about you.
If I go to jail, you will be the next victim."
Zhang Juexia listened to Butler Zhang's nonsense and asked, "Old Madam Zhang, do you believe what he said?"
"She is my housekeeper, so I naturally believe what he says."
Zhang Juexia spread his hands and thought to himself, if you want to believe it, then believe it. What can I do? I'm not the one being cheated.
The officers outside couldn't wait any longer, "Madam, if you don't let him go, we brothers will go in and take him away.
Madam, we brothers have our lives to save, so please bear with us."
Several officers came in with knives and carried Butler Zhang out. The leading officer bowed to Madam Zhang and Zhang Juexia respectively, "Excuse me, Madams."
Madam Zhang glared at Zhang Juexia and hurriedly followed the official's steps, "Can you tell me what this is all about?"
"Madam, our Lord is trying a case. If you are curious, you can follow us and listen."
Butler Zhang was still crying out that he was wronged and begging Madam Zhang to save him.
Lai Xi kindly handed a dirty rag to the officer. The officer took it and stuffed it directly into the mouth of Zhang the steward without any hesitation. The yard became quiet in an instant.
Seeing how Butler Zhang treated her, Old Lady Zhang didn't dare to lose her temper and could only glare at Zhang Juexia fiercely.
"If I had known this would happen, I would have let my farm rot in my hands rather than sell it to you."
"That's easy. If the old lady regrets it, she can return the silver.
I will return Zhuangzi to you then."
"You knew I had no money, yet you deliberately said this. Zhang Juexia, what on earth are you thinking?"
