Chapter 838: Failed to Trick
Zhang Juexia lost all desire to go out after being disturbed by Liu Wanru.
But then she thought again, she still had to go to Dejitang.
Unfortunately, Liu Mingda was out, and Mrs. Liu said he was going to see a patient again.
She told Zhang Juexia, "If you had come half an hour earlier, you would have run into your Uncle Liu."
Zhang Juexia remembered Liu Wanru in his heart again, and he would settle the score with her sooner or later.
Madam Liu noticed that Zhang Juexia looked unhappy and asked worriedly, "Juexia, are you okay?
Bei Xiu came here just now, and he talked to your Uncle Liu for a long time.
However, I heard from your Uncle Liu that they will be going on a long journey in a few days.
Is this what you came for?"
Zhang Juexia nodded, "Auntie, do you know where they are going?"
"I really don't know. Why would your Uncle Liu tell me what he does on a daily basis?"
Zhang Juexia decided to wait for Liu Mingda to come back and find out the truth.
When Liu Mingda came back from the consultation, he saw Zhang Juexia sitting on the chair and looked at her with a smile, "Bei Xiu left right away, and I guessed you would come back soon."
Zhang Juexia stood up and greeted Liu Mingda, "Uncle Liu, you're truly as foresighted as a god. It's mainly because my husband's mouth is like a gourd with the mouth sawed off that I had no choice but to come looking for you!"
Liu Mingda gestured for Zhang Juexia to take a seat, "Today, I, your uncle Liu, will probably be the same as your husband.
However, I can assure you that your husband will not be in danger if he follows me, nor will he do anything bad.
I will return the person to you intact in no time."
"Really can't tell?"
"I can't say."
Liu Mingda wiped his hand on his neck and said, "Girl, you are usually the smartest.
You know what kind of person I am, your uncle Liu.
As for the military job that Bei Xiu mentioned, he will have the opportunity in the future, given his status as a military scholar.
But this opportunity is hard to come by.”
Liu Mingda was so mysterious that Zhang Juexia felt a chill down her spine. She racked her brains but couldn't figure out what a doctor like him could do with Ye Beixiu.
Liu Mingda smiled and said, "Girl, don't worry about it. Let Bei Xiu have a good rest these few days.
Let me finish my work here, and then I'll go with him."
Zhang Juexia was sent out of Deji Hall by Madam Liu, and his head was still dizzy.
Although there was something hidden in Liu Mingda's words, she really couldn't guess what he meant.
For a doctor to be so mysterious, isn't that a bit too much?
She wanted to go back to Liu Mingda to ask him some questions, but Yang Daniu came rushing over and said, "Madam, the magistrate's wife is waiting for you at home!"
Zhang Juexia didn't want to keep Song Miaoyin waiting for long, so he had to get on the carriage.
After watching Zhang Juexia's carriage go away, Gancao hurriedly trotted in to inform Liu Mingda.
After hearing this, Liu Mingda patted his chest with relief and said, "It was the magistrate's wife who saved me today!
Otherwise, I won't be able to fight her for a few moves before I blurt out everything I should and shouldn't say."
Licorice was puzzled, "Master, we didn't do anything bad, why didn't you tell Madam Ye?"
Liu Mingda glared at Gancao and said, "Things are done in secrecy. Where have all the principles I taught you on a daily basis gone?"
Gancao was so frightened that he lowered his head quickly and didn't say a word.
When Song Miaoyin learned that Zhang Juexia was not at home, no matter how Li Yun persuaded her, she was too lazy to go in, "I'll just wait for my cousin here!
After all, it was me who harmed her in this matter today.
Sister Yang, did my cousin suffer any loss?
Li Yun grinned. She knew her wife's fighting ability.
On ordinary days, she seems virtuous and steady, but when things really happen, she is not afraid at all!
"Madam Magistrate, our wife is not the kind of person who would suffer any loss.
But Madam Li was subdued by Master Li."
"real?"
"That's not true, how dare I lie to you!"
"That's great, I was worried all the way here!
I always felt sorry for my cousin, but now it’s okay, as long as my cousin doesn’t suffer any loss.
Zhang Juexia saw Song Miaoyin standing at the door chatting and laughing with Li Yun, and quickly jumped down from the carriage, "Cousin, why don't you go in and wait?"
"Aren't I worried about you?"
"Why are you worried about me? Am I not fine?"
Song Miaoyin gave Zhang Juexia a thumbs-up and said, "Cousin, you are really great."
Zhang Juexia took Song Miaoyin and walked towards home, "Did you go to Captain Liu's house?"
"I went there. You don't know. When I told Mrs. Liu that Mr. Li had agreed to the marriage between Liu Xizhi and Li Qi, Mrs. Liu was so happy that she almost fainted.
Of course, I also felt proud of myself for doing the job, and I showed off a bit too.
But when I returned to the county government office and learned that Madam Li had come to your place to cause trouble, my heart sank again.
I'm afraid you'll suffer at the hands of Madam Li."
After Song Miaoyin finished speaking, she stopped and looked at Zhang Juexia carefully, "Poor thing, luckily everything is fine.
Otherwise, your cousin and I would be so upset!"
Zhang Juexia smiled mischievously, "When the time comes, invite me to the matchmaker banquet.
Since Madam Li keeps saying that I'm causing trouble, I might as well make it real!
"Alas, I finally understand why the Li family's daughter is so outstanding, but the son is a playboy.
This Madam Li is really difficult to get along with.
But don't worry, your cousin and I will definitely pick you out when the time comes.
As for the banquet, your cousin and I will treat you one each, so please don't compete with us for the matchmaker's wine.
It's not a pleasant feeling to be envied by others.
Besides, you and Li Yingyue are good sisters, so there's no need to cause any trouble because of this."
Zhang Juexia could tell that Song Miaoyin was doing this for her own good, so she deliberately bowed to her and said, "Since the magistrate's wife has given the order, I will respectfully obey."
Song Miaoyin was about to drag Zhang Juexia to the restaurant for dinner. "It's almost time to eat. Let's talk while we eat."
It just so happened that Zhang Juexia had something to ask her, so he accompanied Song Miaoyin into the carriage.
The magistrate's wife had to have a grand dinner, so Zhang Juexia immediately decided, "Let's not go to my fish restaurant, let's go to Zuixianlou!"
After entering Zuixianlou, Manager Chen welcomed them in.
After arranging their private room, Shopkeeper Chen teased Zhang Juexia with a smile, "Madam Ye, you own two restaurants now, and you're willing to come to our Zuixianlou for dinner. You're really giving us face!"
"Shopkeeper Chen, you are really joking. My two food shops are hardly worthy of being called elegant.
When it comes to treating people to a meal, it’s still Zuixianlou that has to go with you!”
Shopkeeper Chen laughed, "When it comes to speaking, it has to be Madam Ye.
Well, thank you, the Magistrate's wife and Madam Ye, for coming today. I can't offer a free meal, but I can give you a 20% discount."
