Chapter 165: Chunyun's father is quite inconsiderate
Song Jin was not affected at all by what Wen Xin said. Instead, Wen Xin was beaten with a stick for making a false accusation.
When the news came in, Song Jin breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time heaved a sigh of relief.
Because of this incident, she kept a low profile for quite a while and never went out to cause trouble again, but trouble still came back.
That morning, Ji Shubai was taking a day off, and Song Jin accompanied him back to the old house. The two were enjoying the flowers and chatting in the backyard when Zhang Hongan suddenly came to report that Old Man Lu had arrived, so Ji Shubai accompanied Song Jin to the front to meet him.
Old Lu is now completely different from before. He is wearing a sandalwood satin dress and a new helmet on his head. When he saw Ji Shubai coming out, he immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile.
He was extremely satisfied with Ji Shubai, and thought that it was all thanks to this son-in-law that he could now live a life of luxury and worry-free, and even be served when he went out.
There were just a few things that were not good, and he couldn't tell Ji Shubai about them, so after some polite conversation, he left Song Jin alone to talk.
"What happened to you a few days ago? I heard from the neighbors that you were sued by the nephew of the second grandmother of the Wen family?"
Song Jin didn't want to mention this matter, and Ji Shubai never mentioned it. Her father was quite tactless.
"It was just a misunderstanding. The government has fined me."
"If you ask me, you should be more restrained. As the saying goes, flies don't stick to seamless eggs. You, don't do anything reckless just because you are your son-in-law."
Song Jin originally thought that the matter was over, but her father brought it up and blamed her for it, which made her impatient.
"Dad, the government has already ruled on this matter. It's obviously his fault. Why are you blaming me?"
"I'm telling you the truth, but you don't want to listen."
Criticism is a display of power.
Even though Song Jin became Ji Shubai's wife, in Lao Lu's heart she was still his daughter. She should be inferior to him, submissive, and obey, and not talk back.
Thinking of this, Song Jin put down the tea bowl heavily.
"Dad, is there anything else? If not, I still need to accompany the adults."
"What are you busy with? You are already a lady, just tell the servants to do the work."
When talking about servants, Old Lu paused and asked, "I heard that Chunyun's marriage certificate is in your hands?"
Song Jin's heart skipped a beat: "Who told you this nonsense?"
"How can it be made up? Chunyun's father told me personally, and he even said that he used my name."
Song Jin was furious when he heard that man, and then he heard Lao Lu continue: "If you ask me, we should keep the wealth within the family. Anyway, I don't have a son, so I am planning to take a concubine. Chunyun is just the right person."
"Dad! Chunyun is too young, don't worry about him!"
"Tsk, you don't understand. Children are young and easy to raise. Did you beat Wen Xin that day? Why did you get into that trouble? If I help you give birth to a younger brother, wouldn't you have someone to rely on? Isn't that the best thing?"
Song Jin couldn't stand it anymore and stood up: "Dad, Chunyun is my girl. There has never been any marriage certificate, and it's not in your name. I will decide where she will go. Don't even think about it."
"Don't lie to me!" Old Lu was immediately annoyed when he saw Song Jin's harsh words: "I have already asked, it is my name, then Chunyun is mine, even if the king of heaven comes, it will still be mine."
Song Jin and Lao Lu were arguing about who Chunyun belonged to. Song Jin refused to acknowledge the existence of the marriage certificate. Anyway, Chunyun's father didn't have it.
Old Lu insisted that Chunyun's marriage certificate was in her hands and it was in his name, so he was the one who decided who Chunyun should marry, and even the officials couldn't do anything about it.
Finally, Old Lu said, "You don't recognize her, right? All right, I'll bring his father here, and we'll confront each other face to face. If you don't have a marriage certificate, then she's not your girl, and her father will have to decide where she should go."
"Remember, I am your father!"
Song Jin was so angry that his shoulders were shaking and tears were welling up in his eyes. Du Juan, who had been accompanying him, also became anxious.
"What should we do? If people knew that the marriage certificate was really in Dad's name, even my wife wouldn't be able to stop him from taking her away."
Song Jin suddenly wiped his face with his sleeve and said viciously, "Go, ask Hongan to invite the second wife of the Wen family and tell her that I have something to discuss with her."
Song Jin wanted to see Wen Ya, not to reminisce about the past, but to block her father's way.
If Old Lu wants to prove that Chunyun was sold to him, he has to find Chunyun's father. Chunyun's father is a servant of the Bai family. It can be said that half of his life is in the hands of others, not to mention his mouth.
She wanted to shut that mouth through elegance.
Wen Ya hadn't seen her for a long time, so she was naturally polite when they met, especially after knowing that Wen Xin was beaten up by Song Jin.
There is no evidence for this, but everyone has their own opinion.
The two of them sat in the living room of the Ji family's old house, drinking tea and talking properly.
"Did Second Madam have a good time today?"
"Thanks to my wife, everything has been going smoothly for me these days."
I dare not speak if it is not smooth.
Song Jin smiled softly, put down the teacup slowly and said, "Thanks to Second Madam, your servants have caused me a lot of trouble."
When Wen Ya heard this, her face changed drastically. She stood up and was about to apologize, but Song Jin raised his hand to stop her.
"This matter has nothing to do with Second Madam, I just want to ask Second Madam for a favor."
Normally, servants are not allowed to leave at will, but since the master of the house has given the order, they can move away. As for where they move to and what they are doing, it is hard to say.
Song Jin didn't want anything else, just to make sure her father couldn't find her.
Wen Ya agreed immediately, and Song Jin started smiling again and invited her to have tea with him.
When Old Lu couldn't find Chunyun's father, he immediately knew that it was Song Jin who was behind this. So he didn't care about Song Jin's face that morning and went to the government office angrily. At that time, Ji Shubai was working in the front, and only Song Jin and a few servants were left in the room.
"Tell me, did you ask someone to move Chunyun's father away?"
Old Lu didn't see Chunyun when he was at the Ji family's old house because that place is big.
But the government office was different. It was small with only a few rooms. As soon as these words came out, Chunyun realized that it was related to her, but she didn't know how. She just stared back and forth between Song Jin and Lao Lu with her big eyes.
"Chunyun's father is not my man, how can I know where he went?"
Song Jin answered slowly and calmly.
"Don't think I don't know that you just don't want to give me that little girl. She's already fourteen years old, just the right age. What are you keeping her for? Are you going to use her to climb into my brother-in-law's bed?"
"What are you talking about? Chunyun is my maid, and I decide how to use her."
"Who said she was your maid?" Old Lu said and started to pull Chunyun. Song Jin wanted to stop him and several maids also came to help block them. Only Chunyun understood the situation at this time. She hugged Song Jin's waist with both hands and refused to let Old Lu drag him away.
"I'm your father!" Old Lu yelled, "I'm staying in that little shop, and you're living in the government office, in a big house. Don't you want to think about your father?"
"Whose father-in-law lives such a poor life? He doesn't even have his own house?"
"I found you a good family, and this is how you repay me?"
Song Jin discovered that this man could take all the credit for himself. Even if he left him the business, the shop, and the people, he still felt that what you didn't give him was still his.
"You have a shop, people and business, so how can you be poor? If it weren't for me, you would still be growing flowers and grass at the Bai family."
"That's what you should give to me. Who else would you give it to? You're a girl. If you don't give it to your parents, do you think you can take it away? Your family gave you a lot of dowry. Now you are asked to give it to a maid. How much is that worth? If you are trying to stop me like this, do you still have me as your father?"
"Chunyun is my dowry, no one can take her away?"
"Your dowry? Have you bought it? If you have, show me the red deed. If you don't have the red deed, it's not yours."
Song Jin understood that her father forced her to take out the marriage certificate so that it could prove that Chunyun was actually his.
But she would never be fooled.
For a while, there was a lot of noise in the room. Several maids were trying to stop them, Old Lu was fighting for the place, Chunyun hugged Song Jin's waist and cried loudly, causing people outside to stick their heads out to look inside.
Song Jin just felt extremely ashamed and angry.
"Father-in-law."
A steady voice came from outside the door.
It turned out that Zhang Hongan saw that the situation was not right, so he called a little maid to inform Ji Shubai first.
The reason why Old Lu was so rude to Song Jin was that he treated her as his daughter. But Ji Shubai was different, after all, he had an official position.
When he saw someone coming in, he immediately stopped what he was doing and stood there, breathing heavily and explaining.
Chunyun was originally a servant in his Lu family. Now he just needed a concubine and she was of age, so he wanted to take Chunyun back with him.
Song Jin listened with gritted teeth. At this moment, it seemed that how much Chunyun was worth was no longer important. What was important was that Old Lu must suppress Song Jin and must use Chunyun to teach him a lesson so that she would know who was superior and who was inferior.
"Logically speaking, there's no need to alarm you over such a small matter. It's the servants who are ignorant and invited you back."
Ji Shubai glanced at Song Jin and saw that she was holding Chunyun in her arms, standing there with her teeth clenched and tears in her eyes, so he walked in with a sullen face.
"My father-in-law wants a concubine, so I can't say much. I just hope my father-in-law understands that this is not the Lu family, but the Suzhou government office, and we can't tolerate your shouting like this."
Seeing Ji Shubai’s unhappy expression, Old Lu immediately smiled apologetically.
"Understood, understood. I am leaving with Chunyun today and will not bother you again in the future."
When Song Jin heard this, he held her even tighter.
"Chunyun is mine, I won't give it to anyone else."
"Tsk, how can you be a daughter? She's just a maid. I can buy you another one to compensate you. Besides, I bought Chunyun's marriage certificate."
Ji Shubai didn’t quite understand at first. When did Chunyun become Lao Lu’s person?
But now was not the time to ask, so he sat there and continued.
"Madam is good at teaching, the servants are attentive to her, and I am used to Chunyun's service. I wonder if my father-in-law can bear the pain and leave Chunyun to me?"
This was beyond Song Jin's expectations. She didn't expect Ji Shubai to take down Chunyun on his own.
"Well... doesn't Master Ji have many maids?"
Ji Shubai smiled lightly: "Yes, but I prefer Chunyun."
This time, Ji Shubai did not call himself "son-in-law" but "this official". The meaning of pressure was obvious.
Old Lu's face looked ugly. He rubbed his fingers together and his eyes moved between several people.
With Ji Shubai around, he dared not speak out.
