Yang Ruo was puzzled. Their family had nothing to do with Prince Ling, let alone offend him.
Why did he do this?
No matter how good Zhu Gaozhi and Jiang Lei have a relationship, he has to pass the level of the Supreme Master if he wants to use it... In other words, the Supreme Master also acquiesced to Zhu Gaozhi's intervention.
When Yang Ruo thought of this, he felt nervous.
"Stop thinking..."
Zhang Juling patted Yang Ruo on the shoulder, "Let's go to Prince Yu's mansion to find Prince Yu at noon. He and Prince Ling have been in opposition for many years, and they will know him better than us."
Seeing that his friend didn't say anything, he said, "The more this time, the calmer you will have. Lord Yang was suddenly arrested, and the family must be in chaos... You have to stand up and take charge of the overall situation."
Yang Ruo let out a long sigh, "I know."
His mother was worried and afraid for her father's affairs and cried endlessly... He went to find Zhang Julingqian and had just comforted her.
I don't know how it's going now.
"Do you need to take leave?"
Yang Ruo shook his head: "No... I stayed in the yamen, but I understood more clearly what I should do."
The house is messy, and I am restless when I go back.
The two of them walked towards their respective official places while talking.
The autumn wind is blowing, with the fragrance of chrysanthemums.
The weather changed rapidly, and the sun was shining brightly in the morning, but it started raining in the afternoon.
It was drizzling, cool.
Gu Han sat on Xiangfei's couch and read the idle book for making tea. He felt a little cold, so he took a thin blanket to cover his legs.
She slept too heavily in the morning, and Zhang Juling didn't realize that she had left any time.
At this time, a voice of argument suddenly came from outside... Gu Han listened for a while and was blurred, as if there was Zhang Jusi.
She waved to Taohong, "You go out and have a look."
Taohong bent down and said "yes", and she came back in a moment, with a bad look on her face.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Han put down the book in his hand and asked her.
"Sister Qiaoling offended Miss Four for some reason and was scolded at the corner gate..."
Gu Han frowned with a delicate eyebrows. The corner gate was the exit from Qiulan Pavilion to Osmanthus Garden. How could Zhang Jusi be there?
She stood up and held Taohong's hand out of the Western Jiji room.
It is true that you have to endure Zhang Jusi.
But she is not Wang, and she cannot be spoiled by this arrogant and domineering character.
Turning around the corridor, Gu Han saw Qiaoling being poured through the rain. He knelt on the floor of the corridor and kept apologizing: "Miss Four, I know my mistake..."
"Our lady's hairpin is hard to buy, and it was broken by you..." Xia Rui glared at Qiaoling: "I can't afford to sell you."
"What's it?"
Gu Han said lightly: "Take it over and I'll take a look."
"Yes, young lady."
Qiaoling made her teeth coldly, got up, went to Gu Han, and showed her the jade hairpin that had two broken pieces in her hand.
It is an exquisite plain hairpin with green and peach patterns carved all over the body.
"……what is going on?"
Gu Han asked.
"I went to the office to get the monthly money from our courtyard. It might rain on the way back. I didn't take a paper umbrella and was afraid of being wet, so I walked very quickly... but I didn't expect the fourth lady to come in... I accidentally bumped into the fourth lady..."
"Who knows if you did it intentionally?"
Zhang Jusi glanced at Gu Han casually: "Sister-in-law, it's because you can't stand me and instructed the girl to do it on purpose?"
"Miss Four, no..." Qiaoling trembled: "Our young lady doesn't..."
Gu Han waved his hand and asked Qiaozhen to take Qiaoling down to change her clean clothes first. If the wet armor is pressed against her body, it will cause coldness.
"The fourth sister is the noble lady in the mansion. Why can't I get along with an ignorant girl for a matter of something?"
Gu Han smiled: "I don't have some good-looking jewelry, and there are new jade hairpins... If the fourth sister doesn't dislike it, you can choose at will."
Zhang Jusi sneered: "The third sister-in-law is smart and her words are light.
But the hairpin is not ordinary. It was given by my grandmother and is extremely precious.
It’s not something you can compare with… You can’t be so obvious if your girl is biased towards yourself… You’re simply bullying.”
"Young lady, I..."
Qiaoling was about to defend herself, but Gu Han stopped her: "Go down first, there is nothing to do with you here."
"stop."
Zhang Jusi refused to respond: "Although she is your girl, she has broken my hairpin now, so she always has to give me a say, right?"
Xia Lan beside her also said, "I heard that the third young lady is the most reasonable and will definitely not do anything unfair to her girl. Are you right?"
Gu Han's eyes turned cold: "Do you don't know what your identity is?
I'll talk to you four ladies, and it's your turn to take over?"
"Sister...sister..."
Xia Lan was scolded and blushed. She was Zhang Jusi's first-class girl. It was the first time she would not give her face in public.
"Isn't it a clever tongue?"
Gu Han stared at her: "Continue, listen... I don't know how to discipline my servants, and I just want to learn the skills of your master."
"I am too talkative and never dares to do it again."
The third young lady was also quick-witted, and even the fourth lady was involved in scolding her.
Xia Lan was about to bow and salute, but was stopped by Zhang Jusi: "Get out of the way for a terrible thing... Isn't it very powerful usually? Is someone else scared?
It's a strait in the nest."
Xia Lan admitted her mistake aloud, and Gu Han didn't say anything.
Zhang Jusi was so arrogant that she was a little more angry, and then looked at Gu Han: "Sister-in-law, I am not a merciless person..." She smiled cutely: "The so-called killing people to pay for their lives, owing debts and paying money... For your sake, Qiaoling broke my hairpin and just compensated..."
“Okay.”
Gu Han asked: "How much money do you want?"
She didn't want to get entangled with Zhang Jusi in a clueless way. Qiaoling was indeed at fault for this matter... She served her for a fight, but she couldn't help but ignore it.
"……not much."
Zhang Jusi walked around Gu Han, but walked to Qiaoling, "You are the eldest girl of your third sister-in-law, and you probably won't be less rewarded... In this way, just give 500 taels of silver.
Let's clear up.
Otherwise, you can be beaten to death by just the charge of destroying your master’s beloved thing.”
"ah!"
Qiaoling couldn't stand even with weak legs. She didn't have that much money... She couldn't even steal it.
"how?"
Zhang Jusi asked Qiaoling: "Don't you want to give it to me?"
"Miss Four, I am not... I really don't have that much money..."
Gu Han winked Qiaozhen and asked her to hold Qiaoling.
"Fourth sister, are you a lion's mouth open?"
Gu Han smiled slightly: "If you are short of money, tell my sister-in-law if there is no more, you can still take out a hundred taels of silver notes."
More than ten hairpins like her could buy for five hundred taels of silver.
"Don't insult me."
Zhang Jusi was full of anger: "Who can't see that your master and servant are capable, and they can reconcile... don't you just want to pay for your debts?
I am not as good as you wish."
After finally grasping Gu Han's handle, of course, we must make good use of it to expose the long-term anger.
Gu Han saw Zhang Jusi’s thoughts, and she tolerated it: “The fourth sister’s style of cheating people is really extraordinary.”
Then he looked at Taohong: "Go and get five hundred taels of silver notes."
"Who cheated people?"
Zhang Jusi raised his eyebrows: "My hairpin is broken, isn't it natural for you to pay some money?"
"Mrs. Don't!"
Qiaoling's eyes turned red.
"fine."
Gu Han comforted her: "Silver is dead, people are alive... We cannot force a living person to death for the sake of dead things.
It’s good to buy a lesson for 500 taels of silver. In the future, you must remember that people who can’t afford to be avoided will hide from afar.”
"…I have recorded it."
Qiaoling's tears fell down.
Taohong was fast, and in a blink of an eye, she brought five hundred taels of silver bills, "Young Madam."
She handed it to Gu Han.
"Fourth sister, please click to see if there are any more?"
Zhang Jusi smiled happily: "Sister-in-law is indeed rich and generous. Since you are generous, it will not be nice if your sister doesn't accept it."
She waved her hand and asked Xia Rui to take it off: "...How can you refute your face?"
Gu Han ignored her and said to Qiaoling with her jade hairpin, "The hairpin is broken, and it cannot be repaired... But you can wrap it with gold around it, and it can still be worn... Don't worry, I will find the best skilled craftsman in Kyoto to make it, to ensure that it is smart and beautiful, and you can't see anything unusual.
Your skin is white and the most emerald green color is... When you wear it, it will definitely look good."
"Young lady..."
Qiaoling choked up and couldn't say anything: "It's all my fault, which made you wronged."
Although she had no knowledge, she knew that the young lady's five hundred taels of silver had been cheated.
"If you have any sadness, stop crying..."
After Gu Han advised Qiaoling, Zhang Jusi interrupted her: "San Sister-in-law, what did you say just now?"
She asked Gu Han in disbelief: "You want her to wear this hairpin?"
She pointed at Qiaoling, "She deserves it too?"
"The fourth sister was so angry that she was so strange.
I bought the broken hairpin from you for 500 taels of silver. Now it belongs to me. I will wear it to whoever I want... You can't control it, right?"
Gu Han said, turned around and left, talking to Qiaozhen: "Why are you standing there? Why don't you take her into the house quickly..."
Zhang Jusi was choked and panicked.
When their master and servant left, Xia Rui whispered: "Miss Four, let's go too.
Don’t you still pay tribute to your wife?”
Zhang Jusi was so angry that tears rolled in her eyes: "She Gu Han is so capable of burying people. The hairpin was given by my grandmother. She insisted on wearing it for a girl... She, she bullied people too much!"
Xia Lan glanced at the silver notes in Xia Rui's hand, "Miss Fourth, the third young lady gave you money, and the hairpin is now hers."
"You still need to say it?"
Zhang Jusi looked at Qiuyu in the distance and cursed: "Idiot! Is my face worth 500 taels of silver?"
Xia Lan thought for a while and asked tentatively: "Why, I will return the five hundred taels of silver to the third young lady and ask for your hairpin again?"
"Get out of here!"
Zhang Jusi couldn't help but get angry when she heard her talk, "I'll pay it back to her if I get the money. Wouldn't that seem to be in trouble?
Let her watch the joke in vain."
Xia Lan's head shrank.
This is not possible, that is not possible... The fourth lady is really hard to serve.
Zhang Jusi turned around and headed towards the direction of Guihuayuan, and she wanted to find her mother.
My mother is resourceful and she must have a way to deal with Gu Han.
When he arrived at Qiulan Pavilion, Gu Hanshu couldn't read it anymore, leaning against the edge of the corridor, he looked at Qiuyu in a daze.
The autumn wind and rain are so sad...
"Mrs. Young lady, let's go inside."
