Chapter 343: Not Easy
Before Zhang Juexia even walked out the door, Xing'er, Li Yingyue's maid, ran over in a panic, "Mrs. Ye, how are you?"
"I'm fine. But you, why are you running out here instead of staying at home to take care of your young lady?"
Xing'er took a deep breath and wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief. "Mrs. Ye, some things are inconvenient to say here. Can we go inside and talk?"
Zhang Juexia let Xing'er into the house. Li Yun brought her a cup of tea. Xing'er looked at Li Yun gratefully.
Maybe Xing'er was really thirsty, so she quickly finished a cup of tea. Then she began to talk about the business she was going to do today.
Before she could speak, Zhang Juexia interrupted her, "How is your young lady?"
"Miss, you had a stomach upset while eating breakfast this morning. You're fine now, but you're a little weak and it's not convenient for you to go out."
After listening to Xing'er's words, Zhang Juexia felt more and more that what happened today was not a coincidence, but someone did it on purpose.
"Did your young lady discover something? That's why you came to me."
Xing Er nodded, "My young lady discovered that someone had drugged her food, and only then did she realize that someone was targeting her.
Then she thought that if she didn't attend the banquet today, she would not be able to take good care of you, so she sent her servant to the county government office.
But I was still too late. I heard that someone was trying to harm you, so I hurried over.
Mrs. Ye, are you really okay? "
“If I have something to do, I can still sit here and talk to you peacefully.
Have you not seen your daughter yet? It’s just right, I want to go see her, let’s go together.”
Zhang Juexia took Li Yun and Xing'er to Li's house.
Li Yingyue, who was lying on the bed, saw them all coming to see her and asked, "What are you doing?"
She moved out of the bed and asked, "Sister, did you have some trouble going to the banquet today?"
"You guessed it right."
Zhang Juexia first asked about her condition. Li Yingyue sighed, "Alas, after all, I didn't manage my family well! When I feel better, I won't let any of them go."
"Okay, don't get angry while you're recuperating. We'll talk about this later."
Seeing Li Yingyue's pale face and extremely weak body, Zhang Juexia tried to persuade her and said a few heartfelt words, "Even in this state, you still miss me."
"I'm just worried that you're not familiar with Shunhe County, and if those shameless ladies and ladies give you trouble again, I'll be more polite, sister."
"You don't understand my temper yet, who dares to make things difficult for me? But you should take good care of me."
Zhang Juexia didn't want to delay Li Yingyue's recovery, but he was about to say goodbye. "I'll come see you tomorrow. You should get some rest first."
"Sister, are you alienating me now? Since you're here, why don't you tell me what you went through in the county government office?
Given my sister's personality, she would stay until the end even if I didn't attend the party.
Why did you come back without even having lunch? Something must be wrong here."
After Li Yingyue said a few words in a row, she began to breathe weakly, and Zhang Juexia was so scared that he hurriedly helped her to calm down.
"It's nothing, sister, don't be afraid. The doctor said that you are too weak and you will be fine after some rest."
"Since you're already in this state, why don't we put it aside for now? It won't be too late to talk about it after you recover!"
"It's better to tell me, sister. I feel uneasy lying here. Besides, if you don't tell me, when the little girl next to my aunt comes, I'm afraid it will be a different story. I won't be able to see you and will be worried again."
Zhang Juexia wanted Li Yingyue to rest quickly, so he told her what happened today in a few words.
"Another canned food recipe. I just can't believe it. Is the Xu family's pink eye really incurable?"
"Your aunt has sent Xu Yanchen and the others to the front yamen. I believe the magistrate will handle the matter impartially."
Li Yingyue snorted, "At most, I'll give him a few slaps to serve as a warning to others."
After saying this, Li Yingyue's face became even paler than before.
Zhang Juexia really didn't want to cause her any more trouble, so she told Xing'er to take good care of Li Yingyue, and then she left the Li Mansion, looking back every few steps.
Xing'er received Li Yingyue's order and sent Zhang Juexia to the door of Li's mansion.
After leaving the house, Xing'er saw that the four of them were alone, so she whispered to Zhang Juexia, "I'm afraid my eldest young master also had a hand in today's incident. The laxative in the young lady's breakfast was put there by someone close to him.
It's our fault for being careless. This is the first time I've seen such a thing in my life.
Mrs. Ye, please come and talk to my young lady tomorrow!
My young lady has had a very difficult life, she...”
Zhang Juexia saw a carriage parked at the gate of the Li Mansion and quickly stood in front of Xing'er. He reached out and wiped the tears from her face. "Your young lady needs someone by her side right now. Please come into the mansion and serve her!"
Xing'er obediently bowed to Zhang Juexia before entering the mansion.
After seeing Xing'er disappear from view, Zhang Juexia asked Lin Yuan to drive the carriage.
Li Yun sighed again in the carriage, "Miss Li seems cheerful on weekdays, but I never thought her life would be so difficult.
From this perspective, I don't envy the ladies of these wealthy families at all. They really don't live an easy life!"
Zhang Juexia smiled tiredly. She gave the canned food secret recipe to Li Yingyue. Her original intention was to hope that she would live a good life, but she didn't expect it to turn out like this. She felt a little guilty.
The carriage arrived at the door of his house, and Zhang Juexia encouraged himself again. It was just because someone wanted the canned food recipe that caused all this trouble.
I just won’t give it to you, what else can you do?
With this idea in mind, Zhang Juexia instantly recovered to full health.
After entering the house, before she even sat down, Yang Zhi came in and told her about what happened in the county government.
"The magistrate was decisive this time. Without further ado, he gave each of them twenty lashes of the cane.
Unfortunately, the maid insisted that she was responsible for everything. She was the one who broke into the back office and it had nothing to do with anyone else.
"What about Xu Yanchen? He's in the back hall, and he was caught red-handed by the magistrate's wife. I don't believe he can still make excuses."
Yang Zhi gave a wry smile, "Madam, they really have a trick up their sleeve. Xu Yanchen said that he heard the county magistrate's wife was going to hold a banquet, so he wanted to offer his newly acquired fine wine to her for everyone to taste.
Who knew that he got lost on the way to deliver the wine?"
"Does the magistrate believe his explanation?"
"What else can I do if I don't believe it? They've already put out the wine."
"So what happened in the end?"
"The maid received another ten strokes of the cane, while Xu Yanchen only received twenty before being taken away by the Xu family."
"The Magistrate's wife is the witness. Is this the end of the matter?"
Li Yun couldn't bear to listen any longer and asked Yang Zhi in a hoarse voice.
Yang Zhi could only smile bitterly, "Now that the people have been taken away, it's over."
