"Why do you think this red plum blooms so well? I have never seen such a potted plant in the Zhu family's courtyard." Zhu Xiuyun sighed while looking at Yan Yishuang beside her.

She really likes this red plum and really wants to take it home to enjoy it.

In winter, when the house is deserted, a pot of red plums like this can add some color to the room.

She has a good relationship with Yan Yishuang, and I wonder if she would agree to give the red plum to her if she asked for it?

She didn’t ask for it in vain. Didn’t Yan Yishuang like the inkstone she used to grind ink? She exchanged the inkstone for her!

Just when Zhu Xiuyun was hesitating whether to speak to Yan Yishuang, Master Lin's voice rang out.

"Miss Yan!"

Yan Yishuang and the other four turned around and saw Daohua leading Wang Maner into the pavilion.

When Yan Yile saw that Daohua was wearing a brand new dress, which was made of the brocade given to her by the Li family, her face immediately turned ugly and she said in a bad tone: "Sister, you usually don't like to talk to us.

Yes, why are you thinking about sharing a pavilion with us today?"

Daohua ignored Yan Yile's weirdness and glanced at Master Lin who was standing aside. She didn't want to come over. Anyway, Hongmei was back and she would have to be sent back to the main courtyard sooner or later.

However, she wanted to see the tricks of Aunt Lin, her younger brother who was said to be extremely smart.

She knew in her heart that this man must have some purpose for appearing so coincidentally in the pavilion she must pass today.

Although she can ignore it, the truth is that a person who commits a thief for a thousand days cannot guard against a thief for a thousand days.

Since you know that Shuangxinyuan is holding back a move, let’s show it out and take a look.

Daohua looked at the red plums on the table and said softly: "I'm here to get the red plums. I won't disturb you." After saying that, she looked at Wang Man'er and motioned for her to hug the red plums.

However, as soon as Wang Maner stretched out his hand, he was stopped.

Daohua was greatly surprised by the person who stopped her. She thought about Yan Yishuang and Yan Yile who would stop her, but she didn't expect that Zhu Xiuyun, an outsider, would be the first to jump out.

"Miss Zhu, what do you mean?"

Zhu Xiuyun looked a little arrogant and contemptuous: "Sister Yan, there is something I have wanted to tell you for a long time. You should not be too overbearing, especially us women." She took a fancy to this red plum and was planning to do so.

How could I let the eldest daughter of the Yan family snatch me away from my exchange with Yan Yishuang?

Daohua frowned, a little impatient in her heart. She really didn't want to argue with a group of children who were full of twists and turns, so she said indifferently: "Miss Zhu has time to criticize others here, so she should first think about whether her behavior is appropriate.

?"

"Man'er, pick up Hongmei and let's go back to the main courtyard."

"Yes!"

This time, Zhu Xiuyun wanted to stop her, but Wang Maner didn't give her a chance. He moved past her nimbly and quickly picked up the red plums on the table.

"No, you can't take away the red plums."

Just as Wang Man'er was holding Hongmei and preparing to leave, Zhu Xiuyun reached out and grabbed Wang Man'er's arm and refused to let go.

At this time, Daohua's face darkened: "Miss Zhu, although you are here as a guest, it doesn't mean that you can mess around in the Yan family's backyard. Zhu Jiaoyu always attaches great importance to rules. Please don't give it to you."

Dad’s face is blackened.”

Hearing Daohua mention Zhu Jiaoyu, Zhu Xiuyun suddenly remembered the conversation between his father and mother last night.

My mother said that Magistrate Yan was speaking kindly to his uncle who was working as a fellow magistrate in Fucheng and was reluctant to send a pot of red plums to their family. He was really poor and stingy.

He also said that even if his father really asked for red plums, Magistrate Yan would not deny them for the sake of his future.

Thinking of this, Zhu Xiuyun felt that she had a high chance of getting the red plum, so she was even more reluctant to let go of Wang Man'er's arm: "Miss Yan, I have never seen a sister as domineering as you, trying to rob her.

My sister’s stuff!”

"I know that you are from the countryside, and you don't know any etiquette and rules. This can be seen from the fact that you dare to contradict Master Qin. It's okay if you don't know these things, but respect the old and love the young, brother.

You should understand this principle of Youdi Gong, right?"

Daohua sneered and glanced at Master Lin next to her: "Miss Zhu, tell me, what did I steal from my sisters?"

Zhu Xiuyun glanced at Daohua with contempt: "How dare you do it? So many people in the pavilion saw it. As soon as you came, you grabbed Yishuang's red plums. Do you still want to quibble?"

Hearing this, Yan Yishuang, Yan Yile, and Yan Yihuan were stunned for a moment.

Daohua looked at Zhu Xiuyun like a fool: "You haven't even figured out who the red plum belongs to, so you dare to talk nonsense here?"

Daohua felt extremely bored with such a pointless argument and didn't want to waste time in the pavilion. She called Wang Man'er: "Man'er, let's go."

"I said don't leave!"

Zhu Xiuyun lost her temper and held on to Wang Maner tightly.

Seeing this, Daohua frowned tightly and glanced again at Master Lin and Yan Yi who were standing aside watching the show. She didn't want to make the matter a big deal. After thinking about it, she stepped forward and took it from Wang Maner's hand.

Red plum, prepare to take it away by yourself.

However, at this time, an accident happened.

As soon as Daohua hugged Hongmei, Zhu Xiuyun somehow rushed over and hit Daohua hard.

In an instant, the red plum fell from my hand.

With a "pop" sound, it fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

Daohua looked at the broken potted plants on the ground, and then quickly moved her eyes to Master Lin aside.

She thought to herself, this person blocked her here just to break the red plums she planted?!

Soon, Daohua knew that she had underestimated the evil of human nature!

"Ah~"

Screams rang out in the backyard of the county government office. Zhu Xiuyun squatted on the ground, holding her feet and crying.

When the red plum fell, Daohua avoided it, but Zhu Xiuyun was hit in the foot.

"Blood! Xiuyun, your feet are bleeding!"

Scarlet blood seeped out of Zhu Xiuyun's embroidered shoes, quickly staining a large area red.

Seeing that Zhu Xiuyun was injured, Daohua's brows turned into knots and she quickly ordered Wang Man'er: "Go and report to my mother and ask her to send someone to call the doctor."

Wang Man'er didn't dare to delay and immediately ran towards the main courtyard.

Daohua looked at Zhu Xiuyun, and just as she was about to say some words of comfort, she saw Yan Yishuang pointing at her angrily and accusing loudly: "Sister, even if you are angry again, how can you hit Xiuyun with a flower pot? She

It's just a wrong sentence, do you need to do this?"

Hearing this, Daohua's expression was just a moment of shock. According to the novels in her previous life and the house fighting methods she had seen on TV, she could guess without looking back that there must be a lot of people coming.

It is indeed a great recommendation.

Magistrate Yan and Zhu Jiaoyu, as well as Master Xiao and Yan Zhiyuan are all here.

"Rebellious girl!"

Magistrate Yan originally wanted to invite Zhu Jiaoyu and Master Xiao to dinner today, but he didn't expect to see such a scene as soon as he returned to the backyard, and he immediately became furious.

When Zhu Jiaoyu saw that his daughter was injured, he didn't care and immediately ran into the pavilion.

"Dad, my feet hurt so much. Am I going to be disabled?" Zhu Xiuyun burst into tears.

Zhu Jiaoyu felt so distressed when he saw so much blood on his daughter's shoes: "No, dad won't let anything happen to you. Come on, dad will take you home."

At this time, Magistrate Yan also came to the pavilion and immediately stopped him: "The child is injured now and can't move easily. It's better to stay at my house until the doctor sees it before leaving."

After saying that, without waiting for Zhu Jiaoyu to refuse, Magistrate Yan turned around angrily and slapped Daohua with his backhand.

"Pa!"

The clear and loud voice not only shattered the remaining admiration in Daohua's heart, but also shocked everyone else present.

Zhu Jiaoyu, who was originally extremely angry, calmed down now. Even Zhu Xiuyun was too scared to cry anymore.

Master Xiao glanced at the eldest daughter of the Yan family, who swayed a bit but stood upright stubbornly, and sighed in his heart.

Mrs. Li, Mrs. Sun, Mr. Wu and others who came over after hearing the news were all shocked and froze.

Behind the crowd, Aunt Lin looked eagerly at Master Lin in the pavilion.

Master Lin nodded vaguely to her, and she felt relieved.

A red palm print appeared on Daohua's fair face at a speed visible to the naked eye. At this moment, there was no fluctuation in her heart, and there was not a single tear in her eyes.

Daohua raised her head lightly and looked at Yan Zhigao with a hint of mockery: "Father, do you usually judge cases so arbitrarily in court?"

"Don't ask about the reason, don't ask about the process, don't ask about right or wrong. Which side seems to be the weak one, which side is justified?"

Seeing the sarcasm in his eldest daughter's eyes, Yan Zhigao felt his face burning, and he was so angry: "Xiuyun is a guest. As the Yan eldest daughter, you failed to take good care of the guests. That's your fault."

"Heh~"

Daohua sneered and said: "Is that so? I can tell you clearly now that I won't do this for the Yan family. Whoever cares about it will take it."

"Presumptuous!" Yan Zhigao raised his hand again.

In response to this, Daohua not only was not frightened, but instead took a step forward and looked directly into Yan Zhigao's eyes coldly.

Looking at the eldest daughter who refused to give in, Yan Zhigao felt a little bit too hard to get off. He was angry and anxious, and his raised arms were shaking with anger.
