Chapter 32 She Bullied Me
Huo Qi said that he and Chunzhi would go to the Lu family to ask for the house deeds and land deeds, but Chunzhi did not agree.
She said to Huo Qi, "I'll be back soon. There's no need for you to run back and forth."
Huo Zheng asked, "Is there no need for me to run back and forth, or do you want to meet Lu Jingyun alone?"
What I said...
Chunzhi said, "Why would I meet him alone? I just want the house and land deeds back!"
Huo Zheng said: "Only you know what you are thinking."
"I……"
Before Chunzhi could finish her words, Huo Zheng turned around and went into the house.
Chunzhi followed him and said, "If it weren't for the house deed and the land deed, I wouldn't have gone to find Lu Jingyun."
Huo Zheng didn't look back. After entering the room, he closed the door directly.
Chunzhi suddenly: "..."
Why does this person get angry just because he says so?
It's too hard to coax him.
Chunzhi stayed in the yard for a while, and before it got dark, she went to Lu's house.
The Lu family is different now than before. There are two servants guarding the door.
Chunzhi stepped forward and said to the two servants guarding the gate, "I have something to ask Master Lu."
The servant recognized Chunzhi and knew that she was a former member of the Lu family. She had a falling out with the Lu family and moved out on the day the top scholar and his wife returned.
The servant refused to let Chunzhi in and said in a stern voice, "Master Lu is not here."
Lu Jingyun is now Lord Lu. After returning to Linshui Town, he is busy with social activities, so it is not surprising that he is not at the Lu residence.
Chunzhi said, "Then I'll go find Madam Lu."
The servant added, "The old lady is ill and won't see guests."
Out of the twelve months in a year, Madam Lu was ill for eleven months, but it was not necessarily that she could not see guests before.
I guess he just doesn't want to see her.
Chunzhi knew what was going on. "Then I'll go find Madam Lu."
The servant said disdainfully, "Who do you think you are? Can you just see our number one scholar's wife whenever you want?"
"A stinky tofu seller, don't you even know where you are..."
"Since you guys won't pass on the message, don't blame me for making a fuss!"
Chunzhi rolled up his sleeves, stopped talking nonsense, and planned to just walk in.
Seeing this, the two servants hurriedly stopped her and asked, "What are you doing?"
"I came to the Lu family to retrieve my own things. Why wouldn't you let me in? Lu Jingyun still owes me money! Is the number one scholar so great? Can a number one scholar owe money to others and not pay it back?"
After Chunzhi made such a fuss, pedestrians passing by Lu's house stopped and started to watch the fun.
The two servants knew that Madam Lu and Ji Ruzhen were both extremely concerned about their reputation. If they knew Chunzhi was making a scene outside the door, attracting so many people to watch, they would definitely not let them off easily. They quickly advised, "Don't shout... don't shout! Can't we just go in and report it right away?"
Chunzhi straightened her clothes and said, "Why didn't you go and report it earlier? You had to wait until there was a commotion before you went."
One of the two servants went in to announce the news, while the other stood in front of the door to drive away the onlookers. "Go away, go away, stop looking! Stop looking!"
The pedestrians walked away, looking back every few steps.
Not long after, the servant who went in to report came out and led Chunzhi in.
Ji Ruzhen met Chunzhi in the front hall.
The top scholar's wife waved her fan gently, looking relaxed and at ease. She slowly asked, "What are you doing here?"
Chunzhi got straight to the point: "I'm here to get my house deed and land deed."
Ji Ruzhen said, "This is the Lu family. Nothing of yours is here. The day you leave here, everything in the Lu family will have nothing to do with you."
Chunzhi said, "I came here today just to get back what belongs to me."
Ji Ruzhen said, "What if I refuse to give it to you?"
"Then I'll ask Lu Jingyun for it." Chunzhi said, "Ask him if he's really so shameless as to steal my things!"
"you!"
Ji Ruzhen was furious when she heard Chunzhi was going to find Lu Jingyun.
Looking at Ji Ruzhen's expression, Chunzhi could basically guess that Ji Ruzhen didn't want her to meet Lu Jingyun again.
She immediately said, "If you don't want me to see Lu Jingyun again, give me the title deed and land deeds to the tofu workshop, otherwise..."
Ji Ruzhen looked at her warily, "Otherwise what?"
"Otherwise, I'll go ask Lu Jingyun for it." Chunzhi said, "If Lu Jingyun doesn't give it to me, I'll let everyone in the world know that the new top scholar not only abandoned his wife to marry the daughter of a high-ranking official, but also took away every bit of her property. What a shameless pair of people!"
These days, the people of Linshui Town almost always say this when they mention the number one scholar and his wife.
"You dare!"
Ji Ruzhen felt overwhelmed and furious just by hearing these words.
Chunzhi raised her eyes and said, "You can try to see if I dare!"
She said to Ji Ruzhen: "As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. You care about reputation, but I don't care. Anyway, I have nothing."
"You dare to threaten me?"
Ji Ruzhen couldn't stand this humiliation, and immediately ordered the maid and servant to drive Chunzhi out.
Chunzhi said, "Why don't you try to chase me away? As soon as I leave the Lu family's gate, I'll let everyone see how the top scholar's wife bullies others!"
Ji Ruzhen didn't expect that after not seeing him for a few days, Chunzhi had become so tough.
Chunzhi was actually unsure, but there was still Huo Qi at home. She thought that she had told Huo Qi that she would get the house and land deeds back even if she cried and hanged herself, and she would not return empty-handed no matter what.
Ji Ruzhen couldn't drive her away for the time being, nor could she do anything about her.
The atmosphere was tense for a moment.
Chunzhi spoke again, "If you want me to leave, you can, but first bring me the title deed and land deeds to the tofu workshop!"
Ji Ruzhen said, "Where do I get the title deed to the tofu workshop?"
"I'll get it from the study myself."
Chunzhi said this and walked towards the study.
Ji Ruzhen said, "You can't get it even if you go to the study."
"What do you mean?" Chunzhi turned and looked at Ji Ruzhen.
Ji Ruzhen said stiffly, "The Lu family no longer has anything of yours. I've had everything related to you burned!"
"What did you say?"
Chunzhi turned back and strode up to Ji Ruzhen.
Ji Ruzhen was startled and quickly asked the two maids beside her to protect her. She said, "It's burned, it's all burned!"
Chunzhi didn't expect that Ji Ruzhen would burn the house deeds and land deeds of the tofu workshop.
As a result, she had no chance of winning the lawsuit against Wu Xin.
Chunzhi was so angry that she wanted to slap Ji Ruzhen a few times.
The daughter of a high-ranking official had no idea how difficult it was for a small business owner like her to save money to buy a tofu workshop.
She worked hard day and night for several years to save money to buy it.
Ji Ruzhen said lightly, "It's burned."
Just then, Lu Jingyun came back.
"Chunzhi." When Lu Jingyun learned that Chunzhi was here, he quickened his pace and walked into the front hall.
The scene I saw at first sight was completely different from what I had imagined.
Chunzhi was not bullied by Ji Ruzhen.
Instead, Ji Ruzhen hid behind the two maids.
Lu Jingyun was stunned for a moment, "Chunzhi, what are you doing here?"
Haruji hasn't spoken yet.
Ji Ruzhen stood up first and threw herself into Lu Jingyun's arms, "Husband, she...she bullied me..."
