The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 497 Going to Anyang Marquis' Mansion to Seek Justice

"Cui'er! Aren't you serving the young lady at the Anyang Marquis's residence? How did you get the chance to come out?"

When Li Erhu walked out of the kitchen, he saw Cui'er pacing back and forth waiting for him there. His face lit up with joy and he walked up to her and asked.

"Cousin! It's too chaotic here, let's go talk over there!"

When Cui'er saw Li Erhu, she was happy at first, then her eyes turned red. She held his hand tightly and walked towards the backyard.

"Cui'er, what's wrong? What happened?"

When they reached a secluded spot in the backyard of the restaurant, Li Erhu looked at her with a distressed expression and asked anxiously.

Cui Er took advantage of the fact that no one was around and quickly repeated Wang Siruo's instructions. After that, she looked at Li Erhu and asked with a choked voice: "Cousin, what should we do? I don't want you to hurt anyone!"

"The man in that room is our boss and his friend. The boss has done me a favor. I can't possibly harm him even if he wants to kill me. So, Cui'er, come with me to find the boss and tell him what happened. He will definitely have a solution!"

After thinking for a moment, Li Erhu patted Cui'er's back soothingly and spoke softly.

"Okay, I'll listen to my cousin!"

Cui'er was at a loss at this time, so she agreed and followed Li Erhu to the front yard.

"Li Erhu, why are you going to the second floor instead of busying yourself in the kitchen at this time?"

The shopkeeper, who was counting the bill, looked up and saw Li Erhu pulling a girl upstairs. He stopped him and asked with some displeasure.

"Boss, I have something urgent to discuss with my boss!"

"Then go quickly, and remember not to disturb the host's guests!"

After hearing what Li Erhu said, the shopkeeper gave him some instructions and let him go upstairs.

Zhao Junhuan, who was chatting and laughing with Lin Xi and the others, heard a knock on the door. He got up and opened the door, and saw Li Erhu and Cui'er appear in front of him.

"Erhu, what's the matter? Who is this little girl?"

"Master, I have something important to report. It concerns the safety of you and these guests."

Li Erhu bowed respectfully towards Zhao Junhuan and spoke in a low voice.

"Come in and talk!"

After hearing what Li Erhu said, Zhao Junhuan immediately stepped aside to let the two in. After closing the door, he walked up to Li Erhu and waited for him to explain in detail.

Li Erhu winked at Cui'er, who knelt down on the ground with a plop. She took out a paper bag from her sleeve, held it up with both hands, and told Zhao Junhuan the whole story.

Lin Xi and the other kids watched them quietly after the two came in. Now, after listening to Cui'er's story, they all looked murderous.

Zhao Junle slammed the table hard, stood up and said, "Brother, I used to think that Wang Siruo was just spoiled by her family, a little arrogant and domineering, bullying the weak, but I didn't expect that she is as vicious as her mother!"

After saying that, he looked at Cui'er who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Where is that damn girl Wang Siruo?"

"The young lady has returned home first. She asked me to find my cousin and report back after I finish this matter. If I don't do as she says, she will marry me to old man Wang who cleans the toilet in the mansion!"

Cui'er said this fearfully while crying.

Seeing this, Li Erhu knelt beside Cui'er and said to Zhao Junhuan, "Master, my cousin and I have been engaged since we were young. Please help us."

"You two should get up first! Let's discuss this first!"

Zhao Junhuan asked the two to stand up, then walked up to Lin Xi and Zhao Junle and asked, "Junle, Xier, what do you think?"

"Why don't we just take Cui'er to the Marquis' Mansion to settle accounts with Wang Siruo now!"

Zhao Junle gnashed her teeth in anger. What was wrong with these mother and daughter? First, the mother harmed her cousin many years ago, and now the daughter was harming them again.

"No hurry. It's getting late now. Let's go back and have a good rest. It won't be too late to settle with Wang Siruo tomorrow. Let her worry for a night! As for Cui'er, don't go back tonight. Come with us tomorrow. We will redeem you and help you and your cousin."

Hearing Lin Xi's words, Cui'er and Li Erhu kowtowed to her with joy on their faces to thank her.

Everyone had almost finished their meal, so they took Li Erhu and the other two back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. After returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, they told the old Prime Minister and others what had happened.

After hearing this, several elders were very angry and said that they would take their younger generations to Anyang Marquis Mansion to seek an explanation the next day.

On the second day, as soon as the sky began to turn pale, everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion got up. Last night, due to the enthusiastic invitation of the old Prime Minister, Lin Xi and his friends did not return to their own houses, but stayed in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After hurriedly eating some breakfast and sending Zhao Che, General Cao and Cao Zhu to court, the old prime minister took a carriage with a group of young people to the Anyang Marquis' Mansion.

"Old Prime Minister, what brings you here this time?"

After welcoming the old prime minister and his entourage who had come for a sudden visit into the front hall, Marquis Anyang ordered people to serve tea. He looked at the old man with a bad complexion and asked with some confusion.

"Let this maid tell you what your good daughter did last night!"

The old prime minister said this with his beard puffed and eyes glared.

"Tui Er, did the young lady sneak out yesterday? What ridiculous thing did she do?"

Hearing that his daughter had gotten into trouble again, Marquis Anyang's temples were throbbing with veins. He looked at Cui'er who was kneeling in the middle of the room and asked.

Cui'er did not dare to delay and reported to Marquis Anyang in detail what happened last night.

"This bastard girl! Someone, bring the young lady over here!"

Upon hearing that Wang Siruo was so bold as to order people to poison Zhao Junhuan's siblings and Cao Fangruo's child, Marquis Anyang was furious. He slammed the table and gave orders to the butler.

"Old Prime Minister, Madam Zhao, Fang Ruo, I will first apologize to you on behalf of that unfilial daughter. When she comes over later, you can punish her as you wish!"

After seeing the butler lead his men away, Marquis Anyang stood up and smiled at the three people.

"Wang Jing, you are a decent person, so why did you spoil your daughter into that state? It's because this little maid and her cousin knew the importance of the matter and didn't obey your girl's orders. You need to control your daughter's temper, otherwise it will cause you even greater trouble."

The old prime minister looked at Marquis Anyang and said earnestly that this child was a kind and righteous man. After hearing what happened, he had no intention of covering up for his daughter. In addition, he had helped Cao Zhu over the years, so the old prime minister did not intend to make things too difficult for him. As long as he disciplined his daughter well and did not let her bother them again, it would be fine.
