Chapter 93 Big Green Hat
The female guests were already clamoring furiously. Nearby, the male guests finally showed up. The second son, Xu Qing, hurriedly helped his father up, his veins throbbing with anger. "Someone, someone, drag this barbaric woman away..."
"No need, I can walk by myself."
Shen Ning snorted and laughed: "If I stay here for a moment longer, I will feel the stench."
Everyone around her was shocked by her.
Is Shen Ning crazy? She actually broke up with the Xu family in public? Does she not want to stay in Pingning anymore?
At this time, Shen Qingbai also came out: "Sister."
The young man ignored Xu Shuo's movements to pull him away from behind, broke free from Xu Shuo, and walked to Shen Ning with a smile: "Qingbai can't eat it either, I'll leave with my sister."
On the opposite side, Li Yushi felt helpless.
Originally, I wanted Shen Ning to avoid the calculation. Now it seems that she did avoid it. However, she had already avoided it, but it happened that she couldn't end it because of a lowly slave.
What is the purpose of this?
Behind Shen Qingbai, Pei Yuanzhou looked at the brother and sister quietly, with a strange look in his eyes.
These two siblings are honest people, but they are too naive and impulsive... They are happy now, but they don't think about how it will end.
At this time, County Magistrate Cao Manlou came out.
Cao Manlou felt helpless, but his face was stern.
When he was an official in the court, no one in the entire Daxuan officialdom would fail to give face to Lord Xu. People around Lord Xu once said: You can't write two Xus with one stroke.
The meaning is very clear, let him take care of the Xu family.
Even though he looked down on the behavior of the Second Master of the Xu Family, the rules were there... He was just bullying a lowly slave. How could a mere merchant girl like Chen Ning dare to allow a servant to attack the Second Master of the Xu Family, who was an official.
At this time, he must be clear in his attitude.
"Come here, arrest this woman, Shen, who dared to rebel against her superiors..."
"Oh no, oh no, something happened!"
Suddenly, a servant ran in from outside and interrupted Magistrate Cao. The servant shouted in panic, "Mrs. Pan..."
The servant's voice stopped abruptly, as if he had just finished shouting when he realized that something was wrong. At this moment, Cao Manlou suddenly realized something.
His wife is not here.
What did that woman do?
He frowned and scolded: "Having said that, how is Madam Pan?"
The servant was so frightened that he dropped to his knees with a plop, trembling, "Madam Pan, she, she..."
"say!"
"She and the young master are in the back room..."
With just one word, everyone in the field was stunned. Even Xu Qing, who was still supporting his father, opened his eyes wide and couldn't help but look towards the backyard.
You can guess most of it by looking at the servant's appearance.
Cao Manlou's face instantly turned pale, and he strode out to the backyard. The others looked at each other and followed him one after another.
Xu Qing glanced at his drunken and yelling father in his arms, paused, then carefully put his father directly to the ground and followed him out.
The noble lady followed her. The curious young lady knew what was going on clearly, her eyes full of excitement, but she tried hard to look confused and bewildered, and followed her while anxiously asking, "What happened?"
In just a short moment, more than half of the people in the crowded banquet hall left.
Xu Ying was still there. She pointed at Shen Ning and shouted, "Come here, take this woman who committed treason."
At this moment, a voice with a smile sounded: "Madam Shen."
Everyone looked outside the hall and saw a handsome and elegant man in a purple robe sitting in a wheelchair.
"Xu happens to be going out, why don't we go together?"
Xu Ying froze there for a moment.
Shen Ning paused for a moment and nodded: “Okay.”
After saying that, she turned around with Shen Qingbai and Qiyue. Just as she took a step, she stopped again and said, "Third Master, can you help redeem Mu Yao and let her go home?"
She did leave, but if Mu Yao stayed here, he would definitely become the target of venting anger.
Beside, the slave wrapped in a tablecloth stared at Chen Ning...
Xu Zhiyi raised an eyebrow and glanced at her, then glanced towards the hall, his gaze landing on Xu Shuo: "Master Xu, please send this slave to my courtyard, along with the indenture."
Xu Shuo immediately bowed: "Yes."
The place was completely silent as everyone watched Shen Ning and the other two leave with the handsome man whose identity was obviously extraordinary... and then they immediately rushed to the Xu family's backyard.
Watch the fun.
Unbearable noises continued to be heard from a room in the backyard of the Xu family.
When everyone followed County Magistrate Cao to the scene, they heard a high-pitched and rapid female voice coming from the side room.
"Enemy, enemy...ah, enemy...Mr. Xu...ah..."
"Here you are, fantasizing about which Mr. Xu is fucking you, huh?"
The man's breathing was rapid and heavy: "Shopping, how do I compare to that Mr. Xu?"
Mrs. Pan just kept shouting.
The man asked again: "How is he better than your Cao Manlou, huh?"
"You're much more caring than that old bastard. That old bastard has long been useless. I've been acting so hard every day... You're the real man, oh my dear..."
Outside, everyone looked at Magistrate Cao. Cao Manlou's ashen face was already twitching slightly.
"Bitch!"
He walked straight forward and kicked the door open, then he smelled a mixture of incense that was so strong that it was almost nauseating and an indescribable smell.
"Bitch!"
He stepped forward and kicked Huang Yaozu in the back, knocking him off the bed. He then grabbed Mrs. Pan's hair and pulled her down.
Mrs. Pan screamed and turned around. When she saw who was coming, deep fear instantly welled up in her misty and red eyes.
Cao Manlou kicked her hard again: "Bitch..."
The screams from the backyard could be heard from far away. At the gate, Qiyue escorted Shen Qingbai to the carriage, while Shen Ning turned around and saluted Xu Zhiyi: "Thank you, Third Master, for rescuing me just now."
"Thank you just now?"
Xu Zhiyi curled his lips: "The soup with the ingredients was made by my people for you."
He looked like he was waiting for Shen Ning to express her gratitude.
Shen Ning had already exhausted her patience at the Xu family's house. Seeing this man looking forward to a good show, she became a little annoyed: "I still want to thank Third Master, thank you for arranging my enemies for me. Miss Xu hates me to death now."
Xu Zhiyi looked innocent: "Where did this come from?"
Seeing that he was pretending to be stupid, Shen Ning stopped talking and kept telling herself: "County Lord, County Lord, I'm counting on him to get the title of County Lord."
Although Xiao Nanchen also said that Xu Zhiyi never broke his promise, she still had to be prepared for the worst. She had already given away her thunder bomb recipe and didn't want it to go to waste.
So, Shen Ning smiled with a fake smile: “Hehe.”
Xu Zhiyi didn't care about her perfunctory attitude at all, and said leisurely to himself, "Shopkeeper Shen could have made an excuse not to come today."
Although it was the Xu family who invited me, if I really can't come, I can always find a way.
Shen Ning knew that what was happening in the Xu family courtyard could not be hidden from him, so he simply said directly: "Mrs. Pan has plotted against me again and again... There is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. She has harmed me again and again, so I must punish her."
Xu Zhiyi seemed pleased with her frankness and said with a smile, "Shopkeeper Chen is indeed brave and responsible, but using such despicable methods, isn't that the same as those people?"
Being accused of using despicable methods, Shen Ning didn't care. She smiled sarcastically and said, "I'm a commoner from the countryside, so naturally I don't have any elegant methods. I just used the same method to fight back. I can't compare to the Third Master, who has a noble background and no one dares to bully him. Naturally, he can be self-respecting and can divert the trouble with just a few words."
Xu Zhiyi held his forehead and laughed: "I just borrowed you to drive away that annoying Miss Xu. Shopkeeper Shen really holds a grudge."
Shen Ning chuckled: "I dare not, I dare not, it is an honor for me to be commanded by the Third Master."
Just as she finished her words, she heard Xu Zhiyi suddenly say, "Besides, how did Manager Shen know that I was just using you as a diversionary tactic, and not... really having any ulterior motives towards you?"
Born with a devilish appearance, at this moment, Xu Zhiyi looked at Chen Ning with a look that was three parts frivolous and seven parts romantic, as if full of affection and also like a joke.
Shen Ning glanced back, then raised an eyebrow: "Miss Xu is not here at the moment, Third Master, you should put away your charm."
After she finished speaking, she saluted and said, "Thank you very much for today, Third Master. I will wait for your good news on the matter of the township lady. I will not disturb you now. I will take my leave."
After saying that, she turned and walked straight towards the carriage without looking back.
Watching Shen Ning get on the carriage without looking back, Xu Zhiyi paused for a moment and said, "You are so small, but you have such a big temper."
The followers behind him didn't dare to respond.
"Let's go back and see what's going on." Xu Zhiyi said casually.
At this time, the attendant behind him respectfully asked: "Master, where did the other person who protected Manager Shen in the Xu residence come from? Do you need to investigate?"
Xu Zhiyi raised a finger: "If the person is lost, how do you plan to find out?"
"My subordinates are incompetent."
"Alright, if you can lose someone, they're definitely not ordinary people. Don't pay attention to them. Just focus on the one in the open."
A village woman from the countryside has many secrets.
Thinking of how Chen Ning had just suppressed her anger and dared not to retort but couldn't help but tease him, Xu Zhiyi curled his lips: "Just treat it as passing the time..."
The next day, Shen Ning received news: County Magistrate Cao whipped Madam Pan more than a dozen times, almost to death, and then threw her out.
Mrs. Pan was not a girl from a good family. Her family had only managed to get a little better off in the past two years thanks to Mrs. Pan.
Now, Madam Pan had angered Magistrate Cao and was beaten half to death. Her family did not dare to pick her up... It was said that she lay on the street for a long time, not knowing whether she was dead or alive, before she was taken away by someone unknown.
