Chapter 5
Shen Shaowei nodded with a smile: "That's right, this way it can be done once and for all."

She came to Chunyu Courtyard to help her, but Zhizhi already had a plan, so she didn't need to make suggestions.

In the front hall, a woman dressed in silk and satin was holding a cup of tea in her hand, and her shrewd eyes were rolling on Lin Huixin, Lin Huixin took a sip of tea calmly: "Peilian, this baby is not your choice." Is it? It's not that the daughter of our Shen family cannot get married, but there is no reason to turn back."

Lin Huixin's posture was high. In the past, when Zhao Peilian came to Shen's house, she never looked like a noble lady. Either she disliked the Shen family's tea was not good, or she disliked the Shen family's dim sum. It's a game back.

"You can't say that, Hui Xin, Zihua loves Sister Zhi very much. When we marry back home, we will treat him as our own daughters. Our two families are relatives by marriage. You can't believe me."

Zhao Peilian's mouth was flattering, and she almost said that she would marry Shen Zhiyi home as an ancestor. Lin Huixin looked at her like this, and felt chills in her heart. They were the ones who didn't recognize this family at first, but now they are licking their faces. They are the ones asking to marry.

Why did they let them be the good guys and the bad guys?

"Mrs. Xiang, why didn't you tell my mother how Xiang Zihua insulted me at the gate of Baihe Academy?"

Shen Zhiyi's voice came from the side hall, the girl's clothes were plain, but she couldn't hide her beauty, her small face was as pretty as the most intensely blooming crabapple in spring, but the eyes she looked at Zhao Peilian were not so friendly.

"The daughter has seen the mother."

She bowed to Lin Huixin, pretended to be weak and sat aside, coughed twice before opening her mouth: "Mother, my daughter heard that Mrs. Xiang is here, and she said that she wanted to propose marriage to her. My daughter was terrified, and she was afraid of Mrs. Xiang's clever mouth." , turned black and white, and came here specially to tell the truth."

Lin Huixin frowned and looked at her: "What happened?"

Shen Zhiyi told everything about what happened in Baihe Academy some time ago. Although there were many people who witnessed that day, most of them were students of the academy. It was not the holiday at this time, so naturally it did not spread to the city.

"Xiang Zihua doesn't say anything against my personal virtues, and doesn't abide by women's morals. Is this what he likes?"

"If it is, then I really have no luck."

Zhao Peilian opened her mouth to refute Shen Zhiyi, but she covered her lips and coughed softly: "Ask Mrs. Shen again, is everything true in the marriage letter you gave to my mother?"

Her eyes stopped at Lin Huixin's hand, and Lin Huixin asked Mother Wu to pass the marriage certificate. Shen Zhiyi opened it and looked at it, her eyes were full of coldness. Detached.

"Xiang Zihua owed 300 taels in the gambling shop, but why didn't Mrs. Xiang mention it in the marriage letter? Could it be that he wanted to trick me into marrying him and pay off the debt to the Xiang family? It's really a vicious intention."

The marriage letter fell to the ground with a thud, and Shen Zhiyi leaned on the armrest of the chair, as if she couldn't bear the humiliation, Lin Huixin heard Zhao Peilian's rebuttal before she could speak.

"That's not the case!"

Shen Zhiyi raised her head and looked at her quietly. Zhao Peilian didn't dare to look at her. Seeing her guilty look, Lin Huixin knew that this matter could not be faked, and her heart was burning with anger. At this moment, the butler hurried over and said: "Ma'am, there are people outside the door to collect debts."

"What kind of debt did you collect? My Shen family doesn't owe any money."

Lin Huixin sneered and stood up: "Let's go, Mrs. Xiang, take a look."

Shen's eldest son and third son are not at home, and the Shen family has never had anyone who likes to gamble, so the debt collectors are naturally not the Shen family.

Zhao Peilian naturally didn't want to go, who knew that this debt collector would actually come to Shen's residence, but Mama Wu, who was beside Lin Huixin, supported her with one arm and dragged her over.

There was a bang and bang sound outside the door, and a circle of people had already gathered around. Shen Zhiyi stood behind the door, watching the debt collector take out the IOU. The leader was a bearded man who shouted in a rough voice: "Xiang Zihua He owes us 300 taels to the gambling house, let us come here to withdraw the money."

"Everyone, did you find the wrong door? This is Shen's Mansion, not Xiang's Mansion."

Lin Huixin was standing on the steps. Zhao Peilian was already exhausted when she looked at these people. It's over, it's over. How did these people find the Shen family? Now it's over. Sue them for a fraudulent marriage.

"There's nothing wrong with it. I told Zihua that this is his fiancée's home. Just let me come and ask for it."

That big man said exactly what Xiang Zihua had said, causing the surrounding people to whisper that he owed a lot of debts before he got through the door, so the Xiang family is really not a thing.

Shen Zhiyi listened to the neighbor's words and laughed, isn't it? If Xiang Zihua was something, he wouldn't have thought of tricking her into marrying her. Did he think she was Shen Zhiyi, who would come and go as soon as he was called?
"Girl, everything is settled. The gambling shop has collected our money and will never tell anyone."

The most important thing for those who work in a gambling shop is to be strict with their mouths, so that they can keep secrets for distinguished guests.

Lumei whispered something in Shen Zhiyi's ear, and Shen Zhiyi nodded. Lin Huixin on the other end was already annoyed by these words, she threw the marriage letter on the ground and sneered: "He really dares to say, when will my Shen family get married? He is engaged, Zhao Peilian, bring your marriage letter full of lies and get lost!"

Shen Zhiyi sighed, knowing that her mother had always been soft-hearted. Although she was angry, she just let Zhao Peilian go away. It seemed that she had to give her mother a strong dose of medicine. She had to let her know that wild fires can't burn out, and spring winds can regenerate reason.

Fortunately, she was prepared in advance, she stretched out her hands to cover the veil, leaned against Lumei with a weak look, and was supported by her to go out. The little girl seemed to be recovering from a serious illness, and her plain attire added a bit of fragility.

"Mother, my daughter really didn't expect Xiang Jia to be so vicious that she wanted to trick her into marrying her."

She coughed and stood staggering in the wind: "Everyone, today our Shen family would like to invite you to be a witness. This young master of the Xiang family insulted me before, but now he wants to trick me into marrying me after I owe gambling debts. Is it really vicious to think about it?"

The beauty was full of tears, her figure was slender, and she was very pitiful, Shen Zhiyi lowered her head to cover her face, Lu Mei stood in front of Shen Zhiyi, and said in a high voice.

"My girl is responsible, but that Xiang Zihua looks down on my girl everywhere, and insults her in full view, completely ignoring the face of the girl's family. They Xiang's family didn't want to recognize this relative at first, but now they are down and out and owe a lot of money." If you can't pay off your gambling debts, you shamelessly visit the door to propose a marriage. This is not a fraudulent marriage, but my poor girl is so angry that she is still sick and has to come to clarify this matter."

Lumei's words aroused the anger of the onlookers, and they scolded Xiang Jia one after another. Shen Zhiyi walked up to Lin Huixin and held her hand: "Mother, I'm a girl from a good family, so I definitely can't stand their insults. Today we are going to the Huaijing Yamen to sue Xiang Jia for cheating on marriage!"

Shen Zhiyi looked at Lin Huixin, saw that her eyes were full of distress and no blame, and stretched out his hand to embrace her in his arms: "It was the mother who harmed you, and today the mother stands in front of you, I see who dares bully you."

While talking, there was a bang, and a bloody man was thrown into the crowd. Guards in armor cleared the road, and the man's steady footsteps sounded. Shen Zhiyi raised his eyes and saw Jiang Huaice wearing a Light armor, a little blood on the saber at the waist, black hair flying, and a calm face.

"Tell me exactly what you said in the City Patrol Division. If there is even half a lie, this Marquis will cut off your head."

The blade came out of its sheath and pointed at the person on the ground. The person panicked and knelt up, revealing an unreal face, only to hear Zhao Peilian call Hua'er.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I shouldn't have lied to the Shen family, I shouldn't have lied to the marriage, please forgive me, please forgive me, please forgive me."

He kept begging for mercy, his eyes were full of horror, Jiang Huaice's knife tapped on his shoulder, and he was so scared that he peed his pants. Zhao Peilian had never seen such a scene before, so she hurried down to support her son.

"You, who are you?!"

She wanted to say more, but Guo Lun sternly yelled at her: "You're blind, don't Chang Pinghou know you?"

But Jiang Huaice didn't care about them anymore, put the knife back into its sheath, raised his foot two steps forward, raised his head slightly to look at Shen Zhiyi on the steps, a smile appeared on his lips, like melting ice and snow: "Tianhan, Shen Miss Si still needs to wear more clothes."

Shen Zhiyi's eyes were full of alienation, but Jiang Huaice said indifferently: "Aren't you going to the Yamen? It just so happens that the Marquis also has official business to go, let's go together."

 What's the matter baby, no one opened up wasteland for my book review section?
