This scholar is a bit cruel

Chapter 207
South of the city, Sanye Alley.

There are rows of old houses here, many of which are dilapidated and uninhabited.

The alley was filled with garbage, dark and damp.

In the open space on the right side of the innermost part of the alley, there sits a lonely land temple.

The temple gate has been destroyed and there is no longer any incense burning inside.

The yard was overgrown with weeds and all kinds of garbage were scattered all over the ground. Even the God of Land in the main hall had his body cut in half.

Obviously, no one has been here for a long time.

In the sky, the sun gradually sets.

At this moment, several low voices suddenly came from the corner of the dusty hall.

"Is the time almost up? Are you sure you can trick that guy into coming?"

"Master Jiu said it's okay, so it's okay."

"Strange, why haven't Wang He and his two fellows arrived yet at this hour?"

"Humph, I guess going out of town to hunt is fake, and going out to fight in the wild is real."

As they were talking in low voices, they did not notice that there was a shadow floating on the roof tiles, looking down at them.

Silent and ghostly.

at the same time.

The ladies of the Jia family are ready and are about to set off to the palace.

Liu Chujian quickly said goodbye.

Jia Tanchun said, "Miss Liu, please wait a moment. I will have someone send you there in a carriage."

Liu Chujian said, "No, it's not too far. Bi'er and I will be there in a short walk."

Jia Tanchun said hurriedly, "How can that be possible? We must send her off. If something happens to the young lady on the way, Master Luo will not forgive us."

As soon as this was said, everyone else laughed.

Liu Chujian's cheeks turned slightly red, so he had to stop.

Jia Tanchun said to the person behind her, "Xiao Chan, stay with Miss Liu and take her back in my carriage."

Xiao Chan agreed and hurried out, saying, "Miss Liu, please follow me."

Liu Chujian had no choice but to thank her, then took Bier and followed her away.

"Is the ancestor still behind?"

Jia Tanchun turned around and asked.

A maid smiled and said, "Wait a little longer. Yuanyang is probably still waiting for her to put on her imperial robes. Don't worry, it's still early."

Bai Qingtong on the side said: "I guess our Bai family hasn't set out yet."

Several people were chatting outside the yard.

The maids and nannies were walking around the mansion, busy notifying this and that.

After Liu Chujian and his servant left with Xiao Chan, a woman also left with two maids.

She walked across the garden toward the front yard.

A maid suddenly came over from the front and asked after seeing her, "Mrs. Zhang, have you seen Miss Shi? Someone is coming to her house."

The woman from Zhang Shan's family smiled and said, "In the back garden, with the other girls."

The maid asked, "Where are you going?"

Zhang Shan's wife hurriedly said, "The girls are all ready. I'll go check with the master and his wife to make sure nothing is left out."

The maid smiled and said, "You are really worried."

Having said that, he left in a hurry.

The woman from Zhang Shan's family looked back at her, and when she saw her walking away, she immediately turned right, turned into the small path next to her, and went up to the corridor.

After winding around, we arrived at the rockery in the east of the palace.

A servant was cleaning the moss on the rockery with a small shovel.

The woman from Zhang Shan's family walked by and whispered, "That girl has just gone out with Miss Tanchun's maid. She only brought her own maid with her and rode in Miss Tanchun's carriage. There was no one else."

After saying that, she walked away quickly.

The servant did not respond at all. He shoveled on the rockery for a while, then raised his head, looked around, climbed to the other side of the rockery, took out a pen and paper, and wrote a few words.

"Wow!"

A little bird suddenly flapped its wings, flew out from behind the rockery, left the house, and disappeared.

Behind the rockery, the servant picked up the shovel and continued to shovel the moss on the rockery carefully.

At this moment, he suddenly raised his head and looked down.

A maid was standing there, looking up at him.

The servant was stunned for a moment, then quickly asked in a flattering manner, "Miss Shishu, is there anything wrong?"

The secretary said, "Come down, I have something to ask you."

The servant said quickly, "Okay, wait a moment, young lady."

As he said this, he quickly put down the shovel in his hand and carefully went down the rockery.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his feet touched the ground, a rope suddenly came out from the side, wrapped around his legs with a "whoosh", and pulled hard, knocking him to the ground.

At this time, a strong woman, holding the other end of the rope, walked out from under the rockery.

The servant was shocked and asked quickly, "Miss Shishu, what mistake have I made?"

The secretary did not answer. He walked up to him and stepped on his arm. With a "click" sound, he broke his arm.

The servant opened his mouth suddenly and was about to let out a scream, but the strong woman next to him immediately stuffed a piece of cloth into his mouth and then punched him on the forehead, knocking him unconscious.

"Take it away."

The secretary gave an order and turned to leave.

The strong woman picked up the servant and followed behind him as easily as an eagle carrying a chick.

The woman from Zhang Shan's family walked around the front yard and then returned to the small courtyard at the back where all the girls were gathered.

Several girls were chatting.

The maids and nannies also gathered nearby, talking in low voices about entering the palace later.

Zhang Shan's wife had a smile on her face. Just as she was about to interrupt, Jia Yingchun's maid Siqi suddenly came over and said, "What are you doing here? Come in quickly, the young lady is calling you." Zhang Shan's wife was stunned and said with a smile, "You little girl, when the young lady took you away from the mansion, you didn't take me with you. Now you want me to serve you?"

Siqi urged, "Let's go."

Zhang Shanjia had no choice but to follow behind and asked, "What's the matter, young lady?"

Siqi said nothing and entered the courtyard in front.

Just as Zhang Shanjia followed him in, Siqi suddenly turned around, closed the door and bolted it.

Zhang Shanjia was stunned. Just as she was about to speak, Siqi suddenly slapped her in the face. She staggered to the side and almost fell.

"Eat everything inside and out!"

Siqi cursed through gritted teeth.

Zhang Shanjia covered his face with his hands, looking stunned. He said in shock and anger: "Siqi! Why did you hit me? You are no longer a member of the Jia family, you..."

Just as she finished speaking, Jia Yingchun came out of the house, looked at her coldly and said, "I just moved out. Who said I'm not a member of the Jia family? Did you say that?"

When Zhang Shanjia saw her, she immediately knelt on the ground with a plop and cried, "Miss, why did Siqi hit me? Even if she is your eldest maid..."

"I asked her to beat me, are you dissatisfied?"

Jia Yingchun said coldly.

Zhang Shanjia was speechless when she heard this. She had never seen her young lady so cold before. She hurriedly cried out, "Young lady, what did I do wrong? You want this little bitch to insult me?"

"Snapped!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Siqi went over and slapped her hard.

Zhang Shanjia was immediately furious, and when she was about to pounce on her with a ferocious face, Siqi suddenly punched her on the nose and kicked her in the face, knocking her to the ground.

At this time, two strong women came out of the house. Without waiting for her to scream, one of them stuffed her mouth and the other grabbed her hair, and then dragged her into the house.

at the same time.

Outside the mansion, the carriage that Liu Chujian was riding in drove out of the alley and onto the street.

Sitting in the carriage were Liu Chujian, Bier, and Jia Tanchun's maid Xiao Chan.

"Crack!"

As the carriage was moving, the wheel suddenly cracked and a piece of it fell off.

The carriage shook and stopped.

Zhang Erniang, the driver, got off the carriage to check. When she saw that the wheel was broken, she immediately shouted, "Oh no, Miss Liu, Xiaochan, the carriage is broken and can't move."

Xiao Chan hurriedly got out of the car to check, stamping his feet and saying, "Oh, why did it break down at this time?"

At this time, Liu Chujian and Bi'er also came out of the carriage, got off the carriage, looked at the wheels, and said, "It's okay, let's walk back. Xiaochan, go back and inform them and ask them to come over to help."

Xiao Chan hesitated a little and said, "My mistress told me to take Miss Liu back. Otherwise, let's go hire a carriage."

Bi'er smiled and said, "It's not that far. We are not rich and powerful, so we can still walk this distance. Xiaochan, don't worry about us. We can go back by ourselves."

Then, he pulled his young lady and said, "Miss, let's go."

Liu Chujian waved to the two of them and walked back with Bier.

At this time, the sunset had already fallen to the horizon.

The two walked on the street for a while, and Bi'er said, "Miss, I'm so hungry. Let's eat something before going back? Bring some buns for Xiaolan later."

Liu Chujian glanced at the street stall and said, "Let's go back and do it ourselves. It's cleaner."

Bi'er said, "Okay."

As the two were about to continue walking forward, a girl with a maid's bun suddenly came up to them. When she saw them, she hurriedly asked, "Is that Miss Liu?"

Liu Chujian was stunned, looked at her and said: "You are..."

The maid said hurriedly, "My name is Xiu Zhao, and I am a maid from the Bai Mansion. I just came from Chu Jian Book House. I heard from Xiao Lan that Miss Liu went to the Jia Mansion, so I hurried here to find her. Fortunately, I met her here!"

Then he continued, "Miss Liu, please come with me quickly. My uncle was listening to music at Wanhua Tower in the south of the city. His silver was stolen. He didn't have money to pay the bill, so he was not allowed to leave. So my uncle asked me to come and find you quickly and bring the silver to redeem him."

Liu Chujian asked doubtfully: "Your uncle is..."

Xiu waved, "Luo Zijun! Don't you recognize me, young lady?"

Liu Chujian frowned and said, "He is now the son-in-law of the Bai family. Why don't you go find Miss Bai?"

Xiu Zhao smiled bitterly and said, "Miss, you are joking. In this kind of situation, how could I dare to go back to the mansion to ask for help. My son-in-law said that he must come to find you. If the eldest lady knew about it, he would be beaten to death. Miss, please be kind and save my son-in-law."

Liu Chujian thought for a moment and said, "I'll give you the silver you need, and you can use it to redeem him. I won't go. After all, he has become a gigolo in the Bai family, and our relationship has broken down. It's not appropriate for me to go."

Xiu waved, "I need two hundred taels of silver. Do you have any on you, young lady?"

Liu Chujian seemed to be shocked: "Two hundred taels? How can it be so much?"

Xiu Zhao sighed and said, "My son-in-law ordered two popular girls to sing, saying it was a bit expensive..."

Liu Chujian said, "I don't have that much money, you should go find Miss Bai."

Xiu Zhao said quickly, "It's okay. My uncle said that as long as Miss Liu goes over to help guarantee, they will release the person. My uncle will go to repay the money tomorrow. Miss Liu, there is no time to lose. If you don't go, my uncle will be beaten to death. My uncle is so good to you and he even saved you. Can you bear to ignore him?"

Liu Chujian sighed and said, "Of course I can't bear it, but he's a gigolo now, and it has nothing to do with me anymore, I..."

"My son-in-law said that the person he loves most in his heart is still Miss Liu."

Xiu Zhao continued to plead: "Young lady, please come with me quickly. If you go too late, my son-in-law will probably suffer a lot."

At this time, two women in simple clothes came over.

The fingers hanging by his side moved.

The two women stopped.

Liu Chujian sighed again and said, "Okay, I'll go there. If he really has me in his heart, I can't just ignore him."

Xiu Zhao immediately said, "Young lady is so kind. I will definitely persuade the son-in-law to treat you well."

She hurriedly led the way.

The two women looked at each other and followed behind not too far away.

Bi'er suddenly said, "Miss, that guy would rather go to the brothel to play with girls than come to you, why should we save him?"

Liu Chujian suddenly remembered what that guy said when he visited the brothel in the outer city. He couldn't help but sigh and said, "He said that he likes flirty girls."

Bi'er: "..."

The girl walking in front leading the way had a sneer on her face.
