He turned around and quickly picked up the water behind him, leaped forward, and before Shi Xiaomei could react, he poured the full basin of water on her face.
The makeup on her face gradually faded away. Shi Xiaomei screamed in anger. Jiang Tuantuan took the opportunity to pull off the veil on her face and then quickly stepped back.
At this time, at the Jiang family, Li Jingchen returned home with the peach blossom cakes he had just bought, and saw the mess on the floor. Mai Feng was holding Yubao, who was crying all the time.
Li Jingchen realized something was wrong. Mai Feng was about to cry. "Master, you are finally back. The Shi family came looking for trouble and smashed our house."
Li Jingchen grabbed Mai Feng's arm and asked, "Where's Tuan Tuan?"
"She took the gong and ran out angrily. She must have gone to the Jiang family."
Yubao cried and asked for a hug. Li Jingchen touched his head, turned around, mounted his horse and rushed to the Shi family.
The veil was taken off, and her face was completely stained by the water. Now everyone saw Shi Xiaomei's embarrassing appearance.
"You, the Shi family, are going too far. She doesn't have any allergies at all, yet you're accusing me of this."
"Neighbors, you have to make the decision for me."
Although the people at the door were also very angry, no one stepped forward.
She added, "The Shi family can bully a weak woman like me now, but they will bully you in the future."
Finally, a man stood up from the crowd and shouted, "The Shi family's housekeeper once ate at my stall and didn't pay. I asked him for money, and he actually brought people to beat me up."
Another old woman stood up and cried, "My son was lured into playing in his family's casino, and ended up losing his entire house. What a bastard."
Once there is the first person, there will be a second person, and gradually more and more people will stand up.
Shi Xiaomei ran back to the house in shame.
Master Shi watched this scene from behind, coughing furiously. Doctor Su quickly asked the maid beside him to boil a prescription.
The people behind him shouted, "We must give an explanation."
The housekeeper had never expected this scene to happen, and he had never expected that a weak woman like Jiang Tuantuan would dare to come to his house to provoke him and even behave like a shrew.
I was at a loss for a moment.
Jiang Tuantuan said coldly, "You must apologize to me now and explain to everyone that there is nothing wrong with my pearl cream. Secondly, you must compensate me for my mental damages, plus another 1,000 taels for house repairs."
Master Shi was so angry that he almost coughed up blood. "It's impossible to ask for money. Get out of here now, or I'll show you what I can do."
"You don't have to pay, you can just destroy your own mansion."
Jiang Tuantuan glanced at the housekeeper and said, "Hurry up and smash it. Smash the Shi Mansion like you did my house just now."
This look frightened the butler, who hurriedly called out to the servants around him, "You idiots, quickly kick these people out."
Before the servants could make a move, the people around came in and glared at the people around them fiercely, scaring the servants so much that they dared not move.
Master Shi was so angry that he went back to his room, picked up his bow and arrow, and shot an arrow at Jiang Tuan Tuan. "You crazy woman, I will kill you today."
Jiang Tuantuan couldn't dodge in time, and the arrow flew past his ear, breaking several strands of hair. One of the two sandalwood beads on the bracelet given by Jade Purity Immortal was broken.
"Murder! Report to the police quickly!" Many people around dispersed, and Li Jingchen, who came rushing over, happened to see this scene. His eyes turned bloodshot instantly, staring at Master Shi as if blood was about to drip out.
Doctor Su hurried forward with his medicine box to check, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he found that Jiang Tuantuan was fine.
Li Jingchen picked up Jiang Tuantuan, turned around, mounted his horse, and returned home.
After learning the whole story on the way, Li Jingchen was a little angry, "Why did you run over there alone? What if you get into danger? Can you wait for me next time?"
But Jiang Tuantuan was still a little dazed. The moment the sandalwood bead broke happened to be the moment the arrow passed by her ear. She suddenly realized that it was the bead that saved her life this time. After finishing things here, she would hurry to the Taoist temple.
When I got home, I saw Yubao, who was tired from crying, sleeping with tears still hanging from the corners of his eyes and his face was red from crying.
After everyone came back in the evening, they unanimously decided that they had to report the matter to the police and that the matter could not be let go.
The county magistrate also learned about this on the same day. He touched his hair and felt that it was about to bulge.
This matter is not easy to resolve. After all, Li Jingchen is now a deputy general, and his rank is higher than that of a county magistrate. The Shi family is also a wealthy family in Fujiang County, and the matter could be resolved by paying compensation.
But he chose to kill someone intentionally. Fortunately, Jiang Tuantuan was not injured, otherwise Mr. Shi’s family would have to pay with their lives.
After breakfast the next day, Jiang Tuantuan, accompanied by Li Jingchen, came to the county government office. County Magistrate Zhao was already waiting in the lobby.
"You two are here, please take a seat."
Li Jingchen said: "I don't need to tell you, I'm afraid the county magistrate also knows about this."
"Yes, the Shi family wronged the Jiang family in this matter, and it almost resulted in a loss of life. I will definitely stand up for the Jiang family."
The day before the court session, Master Shi heard the news and asked his servants to contact Master Song.
Song Zhubu told him to relax and that paying some money would be enough, as he was just an ordinary citizen.
Because Li Jingchen's identity is currently only known to the Jiang family and County Magistrate Zhao, everyone thinks that the Jiang family is just an ordinary family.
On the opening day of the court session, Mr. Shi entered the hall and was about to sit down when County Magistrate Zhao loudly scolded him.
Master Song quickly signaled to Master Shi with his eyes, asking him to behave himself.
County Magistrate Zhao slammed the gavel hard, "Little Sister Shi, take off your veil."
After Shi Xiaomei glanced at Master Shi, she took off her veil.
"You don't have allergies, so why did you say you had an allergy two days ago?"
Mr. Shi responded quickly: "I think I ate something wrong a few days ago and had an allergic reaction, so there was a misunderstanding."
"I'm asking about Shi Xiaomei, not you."
Mr. Shi was speechless.
Shi Xiaomei replied tremblingly: "It's just as my brother said, it's all a misunderstanding."
Jiang Tuantuan asked, "Little Sister Shi, do you know what you ate that caused your allergy?"
In order to make herself seem credible, Shi Xiaomei immediately said, "I know."
"Oh? What are you eating?"
Shi Xiaomei regretted what she said.
"Hurry up and tell me, what did you eat? Are you lying?"
Mr. Shi wanted to answer on behalf of Shi Xiaomei, but was warned by County Magistrate Zhao.
Shi Xiaomei racked her brains and answered, "It should be cake."
Jiang Tuantuan pressed on, "What kind of cake is this? Did you buy it or make it yourself?"
“I bought it.”
Jiang Tuantuan chuckled and said, "County Magistrate Zhao, why don't you buy the cake back and ask a doctor to come over to see if it's the cake that's causing the problem."
Jiang Tuantuan turned his head and smiled gently at Shi Xiaomei, staring at her intently: "If it's not about the cake, but about the person, then just beat him to death with sticks."
