Chapter 121 Abacus
"you!"

Ms. Chen opened her mouth to refute, but when she judged carefully, she felt that everything Zhao Mingzhi said seemed to be subjective, obviously unceremonious, but straightforward, all facts, and there was no way to refute them.

After a long while, she had no choice but to curse: "My father endured the humiliation for the court. A village woman like you is selfish. How can she understand his loyalty to the emperor and patriotism!"

Zhao Mingzhi snorted coldly, and said, "Thank you for your father's patience. He endured the defeat of tens of thousands of soldiers, surrendered 72 Dongdong masters, and endured the great victory of our army's Jingdeguan. If it weren't for your father's licking and forbearance, how could Qinzhou be able to win? Are you safe today?"

Then he said coldly: "Why don't you take what you said back and ask Chen Yan to see if he dares to say it in front of Qinzhou's soldiers and civilians—don't you feel guilty?"

She is not a boudoir girl who fled in a hurry. How could this Miss Chen be comparable to her knowledge of Fandi? With just a few words and the irony in her words, the other party's face turned red, and Chen Zhihui on the side Even more so, he had no choice but to pretend to be deaf.

Miss Chen was angry and ashamed at the same time, she couldn't make sense, so she was so angry that she rushed forward to strike.

Before she could take a few more steps, Mrs. Chen reached out and grabbed her.

Miss Chen was furious and wanted to scold, but she saw that she was surrounded by either the bodyguards of Li's bodyguard bureau or the bodyguards of Li's family. Dozens of burly men stared at each other, and everyone looked angry. The intention seemed to come from the heart, as if he wanted to tear himself apart, so he dared not move.

She trembled, she was really scared, so she had to take a few steps back and hide behind Mrs. Chen secretly gnashing her teeth, unable to speak for a long time.

Zhao Mingzhi continued coldly: "As a woman, I don't want to hurt your face, if you come to pester me again, don't blame me for being rude."

He looked at Mrs. Chen again, and said, "I don't want Mrs. Chen to remember my affection, just don't come to the door again, do what I did today, say what I said today, and leave the two clean, and I will accept your thank you." gone."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, without looking back, he went straight into the courtyard gate.

Mrs. Chen was holding Miss Chen in her hand, her face turned blue and white, she wanted to catch up and explain a few more words, and then apologize, but she was stopped by the guards, and she couldn't get close at all.

I don't know if it's because she has been standing in the snow for a long time, her hands and feet are very cold, and thinking about Zhao Mingzhi's words and actions just now, especially the tone and content of the words, her heart is even more chilling, and she always feels that this time seems to be self-defeating , got into some serious trouble.

Seeing that Miss Chen behind her was still looking aggrieved, she coughed twice, and hurriedly clenched it tightly, fearing that the other party would make trouble again, and persuaded in a low voice: "Miss Chen, don't talk to her!" According to general knowledge, the identity of Mr. Chen is already sensitive, your elder brother and Mr. Fanzhai are both still in prison, if you offend him again..."

Chen Zhihui who was on the side also hurriedly said: "Yuanniang, that Miss Zhao would dare to kill any bandits she met, and she has countless lives in her hands. She is very fierce, how can you please her in front of her."

"It's better to go back to the mansion first, and wait for your father to come back before making any fuss."

Chen Yuanniang borrowed a ladder to go down the steps, and did not forget to say harsh words: "When my father comes back, she will look good on her own!"

But looking at the many guards around, the voice couldn't help but get lower and lower, and hurried back to the carriage in a desperate manner, hurriedly urging the coachman to leave.

The three of them left the alley, and although Chen Yuanniang repeatedly invited her, Mrs. Chen still resigned firmly, saying: "I have sent a letter back to Qinzhou and waited for my son to pick it up. It is not easy to move the place around. Miss Chen is busy at home, so I should go back quickly." Mansion, maybe Chen Gongshi has come back."

But as soon as Chen Yuanniang left, she urged her granddaughter, "Just write a letter, so I can apologize and send it to that Miss Zhao just now."

Chen Zhihui was taken aback when she heard that, and asked, "Grandmother, Miss Zhao just meant, didn't she tell us not to bother us anymore? Isn't it appropriate to come over at this time?"

Mrs. Chen was already bored in her heart, and she was even more impatient when asked by her granddaughter, and said: "If you tell you to write, you can write it, why are there so many nonsense!"

Chen Zhihui had no choice but to call for someone to grind the ink, but only picked up the pen. After all, she was not familiar with Zhao Mingzhi at all, so she didn't know how to start this letter, so it took half a day to put together an article.

When the letter was delivered to Mrs. Chen, she held a thin page of paper, looked at the perfunctory words on it, and fell down angrily.

But at this point, she also knew that cursing was useless, so she threw the letter away, pointed to the pen and paper on the table, and said angrily, "I'll tell you, you write it!"

Chen Zhihui finally breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly picked up a pen, and followed her grandmother's dictation, a simple letter of apology was written in three or four hundred words, which took half an hour to complete.

After she finished writing, she thought she could keep her mouth shut, but Mrs. Chen stared at her and copied it carefully.

When the letter was sent out, Chen Zhihui was really puzzled and couldn't help asking: "Grandmother, why is this letter written like this today..."

After hesitating for a while, she finally added the last word: "It's so polite..."

The tone of the letter sent just now is not so much polite as it is humble.

Even in the invitation letter to Chen Yan and Chen Gongshi, the writing was not so careful.

Mrs. Chen did not scold her granddaughter this time, she coughed and said, "Maybe I missed it this time."

She sighed, her face was somewhat disheartened, and she said: "When I encountered such a thing on the road, I made a fuss when I was in a hurry. I saw it again today, and the surname Zhao came from the capital, and he was also the surname of the country. If you dare to call an official like Chen Yan by her first name, you can listen to her tone and see her advance and retreat, she doesn’t look like an ordinary merchant, but rather like a royal relative.”

He said again: "Although the clan surnamed Zhao is worthless in the world now, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. If there is a trouble, we will not be able to fall. It is best not to cause trouble in the current situation of you and me."

"Then if Mrs. Chen comes back..." Chen Zhihui asked.

Mrs. Chen said: "When he comes back, ask him to touch it first. If he can touch it, and it is really just an ordinary merchant, then forget it. After all, you are young, and you will only push it on me in the future, saying that it is me. I feel sorry for the weak and asked you to write a letter, and only my old woman can lose face."

"If you can't even touch him, you really are a hard stubble, and there is a letter to back it up, then it's not good for Miss Zhao to come to trouble you and me again."

Mrs. Chen was teaching her granddaughter here, her abacus was crackling, but she didn't know that at this time, Qin Feng had just left to take over the business and Chen Yan had returned to the city.

As soon as Chen Yan entered the mansion, before he had time to change his clothes, he had a cup of tea in his hand, and the person in charge rushed over and told about Tian Ying's son being arrested in the Treasure Workshop.

The person in charge said panickedly: "The young master was afraid of harming the master, so he went to the family of the girl who caused the trouble. He didn't want to give a man named Li Xun in the city—the one who opened the Li's bodyguard. He called the yamen, and unexpectedly I also took the young master, and now both of them are in prison, and the younger one has tried a lot, but he can't get it out no matter what."
