Chapter 309 What She Has Been Through
Gu Xixi continued, "Boss An and I went to Beijing to do some small business."
"As for Brother Zichu..."
She looked at Jiang Mingyuan and let him speak for himself.
For some reason, Jiang Mingyuan was staring at this side in a daze.
Seeing Gu Xixi looking at him, he suddenly realized it and quickly looked away, saying, "I'm going to Beijing to take the exam."
The misunderstanding was resolved, Lu Jing's face turned red with embarrassment, and she kept nodding to the three people to apologize.
An Qinghe still had to ask Lu Jing why he guessed who Gu Xixi's husband was and didn't guess him?
Lu Jing hesitated. She didn't have the nerve to say it to his face. Because you are a Hu person, it is obvious that Mr. Jiang and Miss Xixi are a better match in comparison.
It was not until Gu Xixi glared at An Qinghe and told him to eat quickly that Lu Jing was rescued from the predicament.
On the other hand, Jiang Mingyuan seemed to be in a good mood.
He also stayed up all night and was still riding a horse, but now he looked very happy and showed no signs of fatigue.
This inn has good conditions, so the price is naturally not cheap.
In order to save money, the four of them decided to have two men and two women each book a guest room.
Each guest room is divided into two suites, the outer room has a soft couch for one person to sleep on.
As soon as Lu Jing entered the room, she placed her small bag on the couch and said, "Xixi, you sleep inside."
Gu Xixi knew that the more polite she was to Lu Jing, the more uneasy she would feel.
So I smiled and accepted her kindness.
Rest for a day and continue on the journey the next morning.
The spring breeze was warm, so Gu Xixi simply rolled up the curtain so that it would be more convenient for her to talk to the two people outside.
Jiang Mingyuan had been riding his horse to protect the carriage. When he received Gu Xixi's look, he said casually, "Miss Lu's family has suffered a grievance, why don't they go to the county government to sue the evildoer?"
Lu Jing bit her lips and her face suddenly turned ugly.
Jiang Mingyuan apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm just curious why a girl like you has to go to the capital and suffer so much. If Miss Lu doesn't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it."
Lu Jing shook his head. "No, I don't mean to blame Mr. Jiang. I have nothing to hide from my benefactors. If I have to blame someone, I'll blame that evil thief Fan Dongping! And the dog officials in the county government!"
When mentioning his enemies, strong hatred rose in Lu Jing's eyes.
Her memories are like this...
The Lu family in Anning Village is a tea grower known to everyone nearby.
Although the tea garden is not very large, the tea is not well-known and does not have its own sales channels.
But every year, tea merchants from nearby come to collect the tea regularly.
Therefore, the income from the tea garden was stable, and the family of three lived a relatively affluent life.
The family also hired several long-term tea pickers.
Spring tea is especially popular and sells at the highest price, and spring is also the time that the Lu family members value the most.
The tragedy happened in early spring this year. It was drizzling on the day of Grain Rain, and the tea garden was open for the first time after winter.
Lu Jing wanted to pick the spring flowers by herself, so she ran to the tea garden despite her mother's objection.
She saw a scene that she would never forget.
Daddy fell in the mud and was surrounded and beaten by a group of evil slaves.
Lv Jing didn't know what was going on at the time, so he threw away his umbrella and ran over, "Why are you hitting me? Let me go! Let my dad go!"
However, her strength was limited and she was unable to save her father. She cried in panic and tried to push those people away.
Then, she heard the man's laughter behind her, "Oh, what a scene of Cao'e saving her father, what a beautiful pear blossom in the rain, I feel so sorry for this little girl when I see her like that."
"Why don't I help take care of you as well?"
Lu Jing turned around tremblingly and saw the man who would haunt her nightmares in the future...Fan Dongping.
Fan Dongping flirted with Lu Jing on the spot.
Father Lu was furious. He struggled to get up and fought these evil men. "Let my daughter go! You deserve to go to the eighteenth level of hell, and your ancestors will never be able to be reborn!"
"Even if I die, I will never agree to sell the tea plantation to you!"
Fan Dongping was still laughing when he heard Lu's father scolding him.
In his view, this was just the howl of the weak.
But when he heard that Lu's father refused to sell the tea garden even at his death, Fan Dongping's expression suddenly became gloomy.
He pushed Lu Jing away and said indifferently, "Kill him right here and use his flesh and blood as fertilizer."
The evil slaves had no more scruples and their fists rained down like raindrops.
Lu Jing was pushed down, and the father and daughter looked at each other across the muddy ground.
When Mr. Lu's eyes became dazed, he finally moved his lips towards his daughter.
At this point, Lu Jing covered her face and cried, "I know what Daddy said."
"He said Xiaojing, run! Go home and bring your mother! Run!!"
But when she ran back home, people from the county government were sealing up her tea warehouse, saying that the tea shipped from there had poisoned people.
No one in the house was allowed to leave, and the head of the family was taken away to the government office for questioning.
Lu's mother was a woman who didn't care about external affairs, and Lu Jing was still young. How could they have ever seen such a scene?
Mother Lu didn't know about the accident in the tea garden yet and was still asking about her husband's whereabouts.
Lu Jing looked at her mother, crying out of breath, unable to utter a word, and not knowing what else to do.
At this time, Fan Dongping appeared openly and said, "The man of this house ran away. It's the same if you arrest this woman. After all, they are a couple. The poisoning must be a conspiracy."
Lu's mother was taken away by people from the county government. Three days later, the government notified Lu Jing to collect the body.
The cause of death was hanging with his own belt.
Lu Jing buried his mother, but his father's body could not be found, so he could only bury him with his clothes and hat.
Yesterday, she took out the banknotes hidden by her parents and prepared to go to the capital to file a complaint.
But it was still discovered by Fan Dongping's spies, which led to the scene that Gu Xixi and others saw.
Jiang Mingyuan punched the window frame, "This is really a disregard for the law, so rampant!"
When he took the imperial examination, his ambition was to become an official who could serve the country and the people. Most of the officials he had come into contact with in the northwest were honest and upright.
How can I not be indignant when I hear the Nanyi County Court acting in this way?
Lv Jing said with tears in her eyes, "Anyway, I don't believe that my mother hanged herself."
"They killed my parents. If I don't take revenge, I will be unworthy of being a daughter in my whole life!"
After hearing about Lu Jing's experience, Gu Xixi and An Qinghe couldn't help but feel heavy-hearted.
An Qinghe said angrily, "These bastards! They will be punished sooner or later!"
Gu Xixi invited Lu Jing to go with her again, "Since you want to seek justice, what could be more important than getting to the capital as soon as possible?"
"Besides, we are all on the way, it's not a big deal."
This time Lu Jing didn't refuse.
This great kindness cannot be expressed in words.
She said nothing, but solemnly bowed to Gu Xixi, Jiang Mingyuan, and An Qinghe.
An Qinghe glanced back, the corner of his mouth curled up, "Hurry up and go to the capital!"
When they arrived at the inn in the evening, An Qinghe went to see if there was anything to eat, while Lu Jing went to the toilet.
Jiang Mingyuan looked around and said to Gu Xixi, "From what she said before and after, there is no discrepancy. Add to that the confessions of those evil slaves, and the incident at the Lu family should be true."
Gu Xixi nodded, "Then we can take care of her without worry."
It is no wonder that Gu Xixi was suspicious. When meeting a stranger out and about, even if the stranger was a woman, one should be on guard until one knows her identity and intentions.
"But..." Jiang Mingyuan said solemnly, "I can't rest assured yet. It may even be more troublesome."
