Seeing Zijuan say this, Manager Xu immediately looked at the contract carefully.
After all, he was an old butler for many years, so Steward Xu quickly discovered something inappropriate in this contract.
"This contract was written a few days ago, but the time when Fang Yue'er was sold was before that. At that time, Fang Yue'er's contract was still a living contract. Although she is now a slave of the Fang family, but after the The contract before the sale was still very controversial."
Seeing that Butler Xu saw through the difficulty so quickly, Zijuan immediately nodded and said, "This is what I'm worried about. Butler Xu may not know this, but I'm still a little worried in my heart."
Seeing Zijuan say such words at this moment, the manager couldn't help but said, "In that case, why didn't you stop selling this girl before?"
When asked by Manager Xu, Zijuan sighed, "I didn't think so much at the time. You also know that Fang Yue'er's affair with the master over the years has always been intolerable to my wife. She just seduced the master. That day she actually Even my uncle wanted to seduce her. Not to mention my wife, I was almost mad at her. I wondered why there was such a shameless witch in the world. At that time, we just wanted to get rid of her. What's more, she is already lowly, so who cares about a pinching ant and someone actually pleads her grievances on her behalf."
After hearing Zijuan's words, Manager Xu sighed, "You are underestimating the enemy."
Zijuan just nodded, "Who says it's not the case? If I had known this, I should have waited a few more days for the young lady to get married, to sign a death deed for her, and then sell her." yes."
Although Manager Xu doesn't agree with Zijuan's point of view.
But now is not the time to talk about this.
He only said in a low voice, "Fortunately, the government only said that they want this death deed to be recognized. Let's go check it out. Maybe the problem here won't be big."
Although Manager Xu said it was easy, he didn't look relaxed at all.
Today is different from the past. If it was before Zhou Shilang fell, then this matter might be suppressed as long as they said hello. After all, they have always been good at confusing right and wrong.
However, this is different now. Although they still have some money, this money may be useful to ordinary families, but it is of little use to such families who are frustrated in the officialdom. After all, it is normal for officials to have feuds. Even if they have no intention of making enemies, they still can't help but offend others when handling affairs. Although they have been pulled down, their enemies have not. Some enemies may still be staring at them. So when they go up and down, they may not only be unable to solve the problem, but they may also attract people's attention. No matter how much they spend to deal with it, they may only need a greeting, and all your efforts will be in vain. Even go bankrupt.
Considering this relationship, how could Manager Xu really feel at ease.
However, Zijuan had lived in the inner house for a long time, and even though she had some knowledge, she never thought of it. Seeing that Manager Xu said this, she really thought that the problem was not big, so she handed the contract she was holding to Manager Xu. literature
The heavy rain outside was still pouring down, and she was afraid that the rain would not stop for a while, so Zijuan just said to Manager Xu, "Manager, let's eat first. Otherwise, this meal should be served as well." It’s cold.”
Manager Xu looked at the food on the table and felt really hungry.
That's why Manager Xu nodded.
Seeing Manager Xu nod, Zi Juan naturally immediately called for others to come over for dinner.
Because of the arrival of Manager Xu, everyone forgot to dislike the coachman who just fell into the manure pit.
After the meal, Zijuan only said to Manager Xu, "Manager Xu, I'm afraid the rain won't stop at this hour and a half today. It's a bit dangerous to travel at night. How about we go back together tomorrow."
Manager Xu looked at the heavy rain outside and the increasingly dark sky, and he just nodded in agreement.
"We plan to leave early tomorrow morning. Safety is also very important during this night trip. Madam's rescue is not in a hurry."
But although I agree with Zijuan's decision to leave tomorrow,
However, Manager Xu obviously had different views on Zijuan's intention to leave with them. "Girl, since it's been half a day's journey, why are you still following me back? Why don't you just keep going back to Lander?" County, if I tell you, please return to the capital as soon as possible."
After saying this, Manager Xu only glanced at the contract in his hand again, and then he just said in a low voice, "Anyway, I have this contract in my hand, so things will be much less scary. On the contrary, girl, I miss you." My family must miss you too, so in order to avoid their worries, the girl and I should go our separate ways."
However, when Zijuan heard this, she immediately said, "Uncle Xu, you know that I want to go back. If Madam is fine, I will go back. But now that Madam is in prison, how can I be relieved?" After all this, you’d better let me go back with you!”
Manager Xu knew the relationship between Zijuan and the other party. Seeing Zijuan's insistence, he naturally stopped saying anything.
He just sighed and said, "I can't defeat you, and I can't make a decision for you. If you want to go back, if my wife gets angry later, don't say it was my idea."
Hearing what Manager Xu said, Zijuan smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, I won't blame you for anything I say. It was not my intention to leave, although my family in Lander County is also important." , but after accompanying my wife for so many years, she is also very important to me, not to mention that our family can be what it is today thanks to the help of my wife."
Seeing that Zijuan had said so, and she was a person who repaid her kindness, what else could Manager Xu say? Naturally, he could only tell Zijuan at the moment, "Okay, you will go back with us early tomorrow morning, but before that You also have to write a letter and send it back to your family so that your family won’t worry.”
After hearing what Manager Xu said, Zijuan naturally nodded.
The two of them had the same opinion at the moment, so they said no more.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, although the arrival of Manager Xu only made the group temporarily forget their fear.
However, after this incident passed, in this dense wild forest, where no one could be seen, fear once again hit him like a tide.
So for safety reasons, Zijuan just signaled everyone to close the door quickly.
Later, they deliberately used a wooden stick to lean on the door at an angle. In this way, even if the door was opened, it would not be easy to enter the house for a while.
After doing this, Zijuan felt sleepy, and so did everyone else.
Everyone just thought that they were tired from the journey, and no one took it seriously. Zijuan even said directly to the others, "Everyone, let's rest early today? Let's leave early tomorrow."
After hearing Zijuan's words, everyone nodded, and then everyone returned to their respective rooms.
However, because this restaurant is not in the business of staying, there are not many rooms here, only two rooms. These two rooms used to be used by the restaurant clerks or shop owners to keep watch at night. Now they have been given to them. At first it was only planned that men and women would live in one room each.
But soon, everyone had a dispute. There were five or six people with the maid and Zijuan on this trip. This bed was not enough for them to sleep together. Instead, there were three male dependents, so they could still sleep together. We had to make do, and we could only sleep three people in the women's house. The others would either have to make do elsewhere or make bunks on the ground.
There are many snakes, insects, rats, and ants in this deep mountain forest, so who would want to sleep underground?
Back and forth, a group of female relatives were fighting over who could sleep on the top bunk.
Seeing that the women were arguing, Zijuan immediately said, "Okay, stop arguing. I'll just sleep on the ground. Is there any one of you who would like to sleep on the floor with me?"
But even with Zijuan taking the lead, no one was willing to follow her and stand up.
Seeing this, Manager Xu also said, "How about we let Yi Rang sleep in the main room, and you three will sleep in our room."
However, upon hearing Guanshi Xu's words, the driver and the young man remained silent.
It was obvious that they were unwilling.
The coachman even said, "Manager Xu, it's your business if you want to sleep elsewhere. Anyway, I don't want to let you sleep."
Beds, if any of you are not afraid of being ugly, come and sleep on our bunk. As a grown man, I have no objection. "
After hearing what the coachman said, a young and beautiful maid immediately said, "You are really just relying on a toad. Ugly people want a lot of good things. To sleep with you, I would rather sleep with snakes, insects, rats, ants!"
Not wanting to hear this, before the coachman opened his mouth, another maid took advantage of the opportunity and said immediately, "Since you are willing to sleep with snakes, insects, rats, ants, then get off!"
The woman was trying to quarrel with the driver, but she probably didn't expect that the man would stab her in the back. She immediately said without hesitation, "Why should I go down? I just said that I won't sleep without a bed, but according to your opinion, you are willing to sleep with the coachman, so you go down! You sleep with the coachman." No, you can also sleep on the bunk. Anyway, you haven’t asked anyone to sleep with you yet. Sleeping with the driver is also suitable for an unmarried man and an unmarried woman."
The woman was obviously arrogant in what she said. After hearing what the other party said, the maid was also very angry, and the five people on the bed immediately made a fuss.
When the coachman and the young man saw them making trouble, they both wanted to leave the place where things were going wrong. However, Manager Xu stood here and looked like he was in charge of the matter. They were also afraid that Manager Xu would make the decision for them again.
Therefore, the young man just took advantage of their quarrel to pull Guan Xu and said, "Uncle, we can't handle this matter. Let's go back to sleep and let them make trouble. When they are tired, they will naturally fall asleep."
Zijuan also felt a little sorry. At the moment, she just said to Mr. Xu, "Manager, you can go to sleep. I am here and I can solve it."
Seeing that Zijuan had already spoken, Manager Xu sighed, "Okay, let's go first, and you guys should go to bed early."
