Five days passed in Lin Jinyan's busy life, and the Liu family also sent back all the Liu family's greedy money.
Lin Jinyan drew up a list of generous gifts and arranged for shopkeepers from each shop to go to the houses of those who had been deceived by the previous shops to explain the reasons, compensate them according to the price, and then apologize.
At noon, the servant came to report to Du Xing for an audience. Lin Jinyan thought that Du Xing was replying, so she asked Bai Zhi to take him to the study.
"But have you settled the person?"
Du Xing: "Miss, Han Qingru was beaten and is currently recovering at home. He will not be able to go to the house today."
Lin Jinyan's account-keeping figure paused and frowned slightly.
"He was beaten? Who beat him?"
"I don't know. Han Qingru refused to say it. I heard it was because of some painting."
Lin Jinyan stood up and took Du Xing and Bai Zhi to go out.
Hong Jiu crossed his arms and leaned against the study door: "Want to fight?"
Lin Jinyan: "I don't know yet. Let's go and take a look first."
Hong Jiu: "I have to follow."
Lin Jinyan nodded and led three people and four servants out of the house.
After arriving at Han's house and knocking on the door for a long time, a female voice came from inside: "Who?"
Lin Jinyan: "Miss Han, it's me."
After a moment's pause, the door was opened. Han Zhen'er was holding a wooden stick half a man's height in his hand. He was relieved when he saw Lin Jinyan and the others. After welcoming the few people in, he looked around outside the door and immediately closed the door.
Lin Jinyan: "I heard from Manager Du that your brother was beaten? How was he injured? Did you hire a doctor?"
Han Zhen'er: "It was the people from the pawn shop who came the evening before yesterday to ask my brother to write a deed of death. When he refused, they beat him. They also said that he would come back in two days. If he still refused to write it, they would ask him. I beat my brother to death. I didn’t dare to open the door for the past two days, so I only applied some medicine to my brother.”
Lin Jinyan listened quietly, comforted Han Zhener with a few words and then ordered:
"Bai Zhi went to the alley and asked the servant to find a doctor."
Bai Zhi was about to say that she could heal him, but Lin Jinyan's eyes stopped her and she quickly left the yard without saying anything.
Hearing Lin Jinyan's arrival, Han Qingru struggled out of bed and stooped to the front hall, without her usual strutting attitude.
Han Zhener helped Han Qingru sit down. Han Qingru lowered her head slightly with injuries on her face, and her voice seemed dull.
"I made Miss laugh. Today I will ask Miss Han to run a trip for Mr. Han."
"I hired you, and you are naturally my subordinates. If I hit you, I will hit you too. I do it for myself, so I don't have to worry about it. But at the pawn shop last time? I didn't buy the painting for you, so I forced you to sign a death deed?"
"It was them. They came to me to get the pawn deed. I lied to them and said it was damaged, so they forced me to write a dead pawn."
Lin Jinyan's eyes were slightly cold: "Very good, they said that in two days, today is the day I want to come. I want to see how they bully the people. Steward Du, you and Miss Han will help Mr. Han back to the house and lie down."
Han Qingru was afraid of causing trouble for Lin Jinyan, so she urged Lin Jinyan to return home, but Lin Jinyan turned a deaf ear and allowed Du Xing and Han Zhener to force him back to the room.
"As the employer of you two, the first thing I tell you is to go back to your house and lie down. You are not allowed to leave the house without my permission."
After Duxing came out, Lin Jinyan ordered:
"Manager Du, please go out and ask the servant to go to Jingzhao Yin Mansion to report to the official. He said that there is a fight and trouble in Pingyang Lane, and people may be killed, so they must send someone here."
When the doctor came, he took Han Qingru's pulse and said that it was caused by trauma and was not serious, and that he could take medicine for five or six days to regain his fertility for the first half of the month.
