"Although he has offended the Zhang family of the Empress Dowager's mother-in-law, his father is the late Taibao Cui Qing. Mr. Cui Qing came from a poor family. Most of the students who studied in the imperial family and came from poor families attached to the Cui family."

"Master Cui Ping is the third son of Master Cui Qing. His temperament is quite free and easy. It is said that he likes to eat. I heard from my father that Master Cui also likes to collect some unique books. He must have a lot of books."

In such an era of limited information, Shen Jinzhu's words are so valuable that they even put food in Chen Changan's mouth.

Such sincerity... Meng Tan looked around, but his mouth never closed.

What makes you happier than falling in love?

Is it knocking on CP, or knocking on CP at close range.

Gorgeous white and rich beauty VS gentle and dark beauty...Ah, Chen Changan can barely be considered a handsome man, mainly due to the temperament bonus, hehe, no matter how you look at it, it is a perfect match.

Meng Tan couldn't help laughing, and Chen Changan looked over, feeling helpless.

Mom must be thinking about something weird.

"Thank you very much, Miss Shen. I will definitely repay you for such a great kindness in the future."

[It’s better to commit yourself to it. ]

Meng Tan answered naturally, which made Chen Changan stagger. He glanced at Meng Tan in shock, noticed Shen Jinzhu's strange eyes, and quickly turned his head away, his cheeks reddening.

What on earth is the mother thinking!

How could it be... so dirty.

"Ahem, Aunt Meng, since nothing happens here, I'll leave." Shen Jinzhu was also very embarrassed. He was fine just now, why was Chen Xiucai so shy all of a sudden?

It made her a little embarrassed.

Meng Tan nodded, and Shen Jinzhu left in a hurry with the maid.

It wasn't until she left the yard that Shen Jinzhu felt that the heat on his cheeks had dissipated a little, and then he asked Lu Yi beside him, "Where is my father?"

"I heard from the housekeeper that the master has gone to Jixian Academy to discuss business in the past two days."

Hearing this, Shen Jinzhu snorted coldly, "He's not going to discuss business. He's obviously looking for his future son-in-law. Tell him not to look for him. I'm looking for him."

Lu Yi responded and was about to leave, but Shen Jinzhu stopped Lu Yi again, "If he doesn't believe it and doesn't come back, ask the boy who left to tell him that if he doesn't come back, I will go cry in front of my mother's memorial tablet and never come back." , I will go and cry on my mother’s grave.”

Lu Yi twitched her mouth, thinking that her young lady knew how to beat a snake to death, because her mother died during childbirth and her marriage was delayed, so the master has always felt guilty towards her.

In ancient times, litigating a lawsuit was not as easy as Meng Tan imagined. You had to submit a complaint first, and after it was accepted by the government, a defense attorney was invited, and then a court date was determined.

Chen Changan and Meng Tan reviewed the situation that day, fearing that they might have missed something.

After hearing that the complaint was written by the magistrate himself.

I was very surprised, "The county magistrate is so close to the people?"

ha?

Meng Tan looked confused.

[The old... Sir, he still favored the Wang family in court. The Wang family wanted to sue us. He even asked them if they had a complaint, but he didn't invite a defense attorney. After hearing if there was any, he withdrew directly. ]

How is this people-friendly?

"If a person comes to file a complaint without a complaint, the government will generally not accept the case unless it is a life-threatening case. However, the magistrate actually wrote a complaint to Erlang himself, which shows his closeness to the people."

"Your Excellency also reminded us to hire a defense attorney and gave us time to search for evidence. If we can't get evidence that Chunhong is a prostitute, even if we file a lawsuit, the Tian family may not be able to defend us. This is obviously helping us, mother. ."

"We also need to get evidence that the Wang family used the laws of the previous dynasty to force the marriage. There is no document, it is just oral. Then we have to convince Matchmaker Li to testify for us."

Chen Changan could see clearly, and his face showed gratitude, "If we win this lawsuit, we still have to thank Mr. Cui."

Meng Tan was speechless, her teeth ached when she heard it. She couldn't even deal with ordinary human interactions, let alone the tortuous way of being an official. But she understood clearly, that Lao Deng... no, the handsome old guy was helping them.

Ah, I owe you a favor.

Meng Tan scratched his head, "Then Matchmaker Li seems to me to be slippery. She may not necessarily testify for us."

Hearing this, Chen Changan's eyes were slightly cold, "She will help."

Meng Tan shuddered, the strange things that the big boy revealed from time to time made people feel bad in their hearts.

"I still need my mother to help me with this matter." Chen Changan looked at Meng Tan and resumed his gentle posture.

Soon, Chen Changan took Meng Tan to find Matchmaker Li's house. Matchmaker Li was a matchmaker and was quite famous near Hantao Lane. She found her after asking around.

Hantao Lane is the alley where the Wang family is located. I also know that the Wang family cannot find a matchmaker who is too far away to arrange marriage.

The person who opened the door was an old man who seemed to be honest and said he was Matchmaker Li's husband.

"She went out to the countryside for a blind date yesterday. Why are you looking for her?"

Hey, this person is really telling lies. Yesterday they and Matchmaker Li were on the same foot, and it was already mid-afternoon when they arrived at Changhe Town.

If we go to the countryside at this point, it will be dark before we are even halfway there.

Chen Changan smiled and said, "Father, we asked matchmaker Li for help. She just went to Tian's house yesterday to deliver a betrothal gift. Unfortunately, the Wang family deceived her and said something she shouldn't have said. As long as she helps us testify -"

"What are you talking about, young man? How can my old lady talk nonsense? Come on, hurry up."

The old man quickly interrupted Chen Changan and was about to close the door. Chen Changan was quick to hold the door, his eyes no longer as gentle as before.

"Old man, we are the ones who are suffering. Now we are going to sue the Wang family for forcing marriage according to the laws of the previous dynasty. This law of the previous dynasty came from Matchmaker Li's mouth. If the Wang family is judged as a remnant of the previous dynasty, Matchmaker Li will be an accessory and accomplice. It’s impossible to say that we want to kill the nine tribes.”

"But if she helps my family, the county magistrate will at most think that the woman is ignorant and has been deceived."

The old man's face turned pale, but he still insisted on closing the door, "I don't understand what you are saying, my old lady hasn't come back yet..."

"In this case, I can't save Matchmaker Li. If my father-in-law's house is ransacked by then, don't blame me for not warning her."

Chen Changan stopped laughing, pulled Meng Tan away, and his cold look could really bluff people.

In time, if this man became an official, Meng Tan didn't dare to think about how Chen Changan would deal with his enemies.

This person knows how to use retreat to advance, oh, and he also uses intimidation.

They had only taken two steps when a figure suddenly jumped out of the old man's house and stopped in front of them.

It was Matchmaker Li.

"Old sister, please don't listen to my old man Hu Yan. I am willing to testify! I am willing to testify!"

Matchmaker Li is from the city and has seen a lot of things in this world. At first, Chen Changan's two words were only regarded as threats by her.

After all, as long as she doesn't admit it, who can prove that she said it?

But the other person left after saying that. When she looked over, she saw that the other person was still a scholar, so it was most likely true. She was so worried that she panicked all of a sudden.
