In fact, something was wrong. Lin Zhubu looked at the girl standing in the hall and felt that she looked unfamiliar.
"We've seen it before." Fang Jinxiu took the initiative to say, "It was at Jinyun Tower on March 3rd of that year. I was there too."
On March 3rd, Lin Zhubu cursed his mother in his heart. It was not a happy memory for him.
That's what's wrong.
Actually, he and Miss Jun are not close friends. On the contrary, they are enemies.
His daughter was ruined and disgraced by her, and is still imprisoned in the temple. Her prime years have been wasted like this. Although Mrs. Lin has asked someone to find a marriage for her daughter in a distant place, that life is completely different from the life Miss Lin should have had.
It would have been fine if he didn't avenge his daughter, but he actually listened to the woman and helped her. She said it so righteously, as if he owed her a favor.
On what basis!
"She said that Lord Lin, you are a good person." Fang Jinxiu said suddenly.
Good person?
Lin Zhubu looked at Fang Jinxiu. The face was unfamiliar and he couldn't remember what Miss Jun looked like. However, the cold eyes of the woman in front of him made him shudder.
Back then in Jinyun Tower, Miss Jun had also looked at him in the same way.
He recalled the secret that the woman had used to threaten him. This secret was enough to kill him and implicate his entire family.
Your daughter is a bad person and has been punished. You are a good person, so I choose not to kill you.
Putting it this way, it seems like I really owe her a favor.
Lin Zhubu reached out and pressed his forehead.
"Ms. Fang, what do you want to sue the Fang family for? Abandonment?" he asked.
If that was the case, it wouldn't be too much of a problem. He would risk his dignity to go and speak to Old Lady Fang to put in some good words.
"No, I want to divide the family property." Fang Jinxiu said.
Lin Zhubu's hand, which was pressing on his forehead, slapped it directly on his forehead.
Finished!
Of course he also knew about the fight between the two young ladies of the Fang family for the family property, and he was watching it with great joy. But when Old Lady Fang swiftly captured the two young ladies on the street and allowed Deshengchang to reopen, he felt a little regretful.
It would be nice if the noise could last a few more days, so that everyone can enjoy the show.
I didn't expect that this drama would involve him.
He just wants to watch the show and doesn't want to act in it, okay?
"Ms. Fang, how can you, a girl, fight for it?" he said after taking a deep breath.
"I don't understand the law." Fang Jinxiu said bluntly, "That's why I asked Lin Zhubu to do justice."
Lin Zhubu cursed in his heart and his eyes widened. So he was asked to come up with a solution? All you need to do is send someone?
You guys, Lin Zhubu thought to himself, it was obvious that this was not something Fang Jinxiu did on a whim.
This is clearly the evil idea.
This disaster is so cruel that they are going to steal the property from my grandmother's family. It's so scary.
Lin Zhubu's expression changed. This horrible disaster could bite even his own relatives without hesitation, let alone a stranger like him. She could threaten him before, but now that she was so famous, it would be as easy for her to kill him as to kill an ant.
The Fang family is not easy to mess with, but this disaster is even harder to mess with. It is better to die a friend than to die a poor Taoist.
"Someone come here." He said loudly.
A clerk outside the door responded and came in.
"Go and see if the county magistrate is free." said Lin Zhubu.
The clerk responded and left. After a while, he said that the county lord had just woken up and was playing with the cat.
As the chief clerk who has been in charge of Yangcheng County for several generations, when he meets a county magistrate who is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, he will listen to him in many matters.
As for those who are not interested, Lin Zhubu will find a way to move them to another place. This is not a difficult task for him as he has complicated relationships with all the officials in the county.
Lin Zhubu stood up and walked out, then stopped in front of Fang Jinxiu.
"Even though I have a way to get Old Madam Fang to respond, Miss Fang San, your reputation is not good either," he said.
It was understandable that the two young ladies of the Fang family were fighting over the family property, after all, they were the legitimate daughters of Madam Fang. But Fang Jinxiu was not only born out of wedlock, but her biological mother, the concubine, also secretly harmed the Fang family's descendants.
A bastard like this doesn't behave himself and be grateful to the Fang family for not killing him, but instead comes out to fight for the family property. He is really... worse than a beast, isn't he?
"What do I need fame for?" Fang Jinxiu said calmly, "Can I eat or drink it?"
That's right.
Lin Zhubu smiled and admired Miss Jun again in his heart.
I heard that Fang Jinxiu was taken in by Miss Jun in the capital after she left the Fang family. Keeping this girl here would allow her to deal with the Fang family without damaging her own reputation.
"Please wait a moment, Miss Fang San. I will discuss this with the county lord right away," he said kindly.
…
When Fang Jinxiu walked into the county government office, Old Lady Fang also met the businessman again.
"I'm so sorry. Something happened at home." Old Mrs. Fang expressed her apology.
The middle-aged man smiled.
"With a big family and a big business, and the children growing up, this is inevitable." He said nonchalantly.
Old Mrs. Fang thanked him again and stood up without saying anything else.
"Let's stop talking nonsense. We've delayed you for so many days. Let's load the truck now," she said.
The middle-aged man didn't say anything more polite and just stood up with a smile.
All the servants in the Fang family's house were dismissed. Four carts had been parked in the courtyard where the Tianzi Storehouse was located, and the followers brought by the middle-aged man stood with their hands hanging down.
Old Mrs. Fang looked at the stone slabs on the ground that had been removed, with a somewhat dejected look on her face.
"Old lady, we're done with business now, but our friendship remains," the middle-aged man said with a smile.
Old Mrs. Fang put away her reverie and nodded with a smile.
"Come in, I'll take you into the warehouse," she said, holding out a key.
The middle-aged man looked at her with a smile and a somewhat relaxed expression, but just when Mrs. Fang was about to open the stone slab, someone ran in from outside.
These are the followers brought by the middle-aged man.
"Sir, it's bad. There are so many people outside." He said hurriedly, "The government officials are here too."
Government?
The middle-aged man and Old Lady Fang both changed color.
What's going on?
…
"This is what happened."
Lin Zhubu, who was let in from outside, coughed lightly.
"The third daughter of your family is begging to return the family property. The county magistrate asked me to inquire about this."
Another family property!
Third Miss?
Old Mrs. Fang's face darkened.
"Master Lin, you are joking. There are only two young ladies in my family, not a third young lady." She said coldly, "Please ask the county magistrate to drive him away."
Although he wanted to leave the guests in anger, Chief Lin did not take a step forward. The yamen runners beside him even stepped forward to guard against the Fang family's guards.
"Mrs. Fang, you should go there. If there is anything we can discuss in court, we can also give an explanation to the people," he said.
Old Mrs. Fang was furious.
"How can I explain my family affairs to others?" she shouted.
Lin Zhubu coughed lightly.
"Miss Fang San said that she was driven out of the family and her mother was framed," he said.
She would have stopped talking about anything else, but these words touched Mrs. Fang's bottom line, so she stepped forward and spat.
"Nonsense," she cursed.
Lin Zhubu wiped the saliva off his clothes calmly.
"So, please ask Mrs. Fang to come with us. If you are talking nonsense, just say a few words to make it clear." He said, "I'll wait for you outside."
He then walked out, and indeed stood outside the door without leaving. This made the onlookers even more curious, and they started talking a lot.
Old Mrs. Fang was shaking with anger, and the middle-aged man standing on the other side was also growing increasingly angry. Through the crack in the door, he could see the crowds of people outside watching the excitement, and the government officials peering at the people inside the house with sly eyes.
She was an expelled concubine's daughter, she was fighting for the family property, and she was accusing her stepmother of being murdered. It would take more than a month for the matter to be settled.
"Mrs. Fang." His eyes gradually darkened. "This is not going to end. Don't you want to return our principal?"
Old Mrs. Fang took a deep breath.
"I'll take care of it right away," she said. "Please trust me."
The middle-aged man looked at her coldly.
"I hope you won't let me down again," he said.
Old Mrs. Fang bowed to him and walked out.
"Come here, prepare the car to go to the county government office," she ordered.
Passing through the crowd of onlookers, Old Lady Fang's carriage followed Lin Zhubu and his party to the county government office. Fang Jinxiu turned around and looked at Old Lady Fang who came in.
Haven't seen you for a long time.
There was just no warmth, not even anger.
Old Mrs. Fang stood in front of Fang Jinxiu.
"Where is she?" she asked coldly.
