An Zhifu was indeed given some things by Qian Pei in Fu'an County, he deserved to be straightforward in front of Qian Pei, but after returning to the mansion, the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became. Anping and Erfang Tan were summoned to discuss.

It turned out that when he was in Fu'an County, Qian Pei asked An Zhifu to copy a copy of the complaint he had drawn up, saying that it was not the right time now, but he wanted to save it for future complaints against Beijing. They, An and Qian, were bullied like this by Yao Kun and Long Da, they must not be so easy.

At that time, there was a fierce tiger by the side, a fierce servant by the side, and Qian Pei's smile in front of him, An Zhifu didn't dare to say "no", so he copied it seriously and put his fingerprint on it. But when he finished copying and wanted to put it away, Qian Pei said that he should put it there. After all, he knew a lot of people, and when the time was right, it would be more convenient for him to ask someone to sue the officials.

An Zhifu came home to think carefully, and felt that this matter was a hidden danger.

Just like his batch of jade goods, he didn't know who Qian Peituo belonged to and what he was doing. But he wrote the complaint, he stamped his fingerprints, and he sued the prefect and the general who protects the country. He doesn't know how Qian Pei will use it, how to sue it, and who will handle it.

He is just a commoner who still wants to live a stable life. He hated the eldest daughter, but it was one thing to deal with her in private, and to put it on the stage to fight against the imperial court officials, he didn't think life was too long.

When Anping and Tan heard about this, they also gasped in shock.

An Ronggui said from the side: "This matter has to be done. The situation at that time made it impossible for Dad not to write. If you want me to say, Dad doesn't have to worry about it too much. Master Qian is just holding back, probably as a gamble , I want to use this matter to anger the prefect, after all, his friendship with the prefect is not ordinary. This time, he was forced to withdraw the engagement by the prefect, and he felt uncomfortable. But if he really wants to sue Beijing, he will not. Money The master has more experience than us, and knows the seriousness of the matter."

Tan glanced at her son and said: "He used this to blackmail the prefect? ​​I think he used this to blackmail the master. After all, the marriage was canceled by the master. Master Qian was unhappy, and wanted to prevent the master from not reconciling with him in the future. After discussing what to do again, he took this as an excuse. If he gets upset again, he will use this to bring trouble to our Anfu."

An Zhifu was startled, and finally realized what the uneasiness in his heart was.

That's right, the jade shop doesn't have to worry about it for the time being, but since Qian Pei has the pleadings in his hands, he is firmly in control. The paper of pleadings does not need to be handed over to the capital, just showing it in front of the prefect is enough for him to settle down and look good.

At that time, Qian Pei put himself completely aside, saying that An Zhifu was restless and wanted to sue the adults, but he was a good person and intercepted the pleading paper. At that time, there is no need to guess which side the prefect will stand on.

An Zhifu was so anxious that he couldn't sit still. The whole room did not think of any countermeasures for the time being.

An Ronggui comforted: "We are not going against Mr. Qian, and he will not make things difficult for us. Besides, if the lawsuit is true, he will have nothing to do with it. Mr. Qian is not innocent, Yan Looking into it, wouldn't he be in even greater trouble? It seems that he is just supercilious, thinking about how many chips he has in hand."

Tan asked: "Aside from writing the pleadings, what else did Master Qian say?"

"Most of them are just angry words." An Zhifu thought that if something happened to An Ruochen that Qian Pei said, it would be due to secret work and had nothing to do with them, etc., his spine felt a little chilly.

He doesn't really mean that, does he? It's better for Mo Zhangyang to keep these things, if there is anything, they have to settle the relationship. The fewer people who know the less trouble.

An Zhifu glanced at An Ronggui, but An Ronggui pursed his lips and said nothing. On the way, An Zhifu told him several times not to say Qian Pei's harsh words outside, even in his own home. An Ronggui could see An Zhifu staring at him, so he knew he was warning him again.

An Zhifu asked: "What's going on in the yamen and the general these past few days? Has that **** An Ruochen come back to make trouble?"

Anping replied: "General Zong came to visit, but the master was not there, so he left without saying anything. I went to the yamen to inquire, and the prefect was busy trying other cases, so he didn't mention the matter of the eldest girl. Ziyun Tower I turned around twice at the other end, there were guards there, and military masters came in and out. I didn’t see any ordinary servants, so it’s hard to inquire.”

"Yeah." An Zhifu said: "Although that **** is hateful, we can't make too much trouble with her. Master Qian also means the same..."

Mrs. Tan couldn't help but rush the words: "Master Qian doesn't dare to quarrel with her, he is still afraid of General Long. The pleading paper written by the master is clearly a threat to us to settle down."

An Ronggui became anxious: "Mother, Master Qian didn't mean that..."

"What nonsense!" An Zhifu glared at An Ronggui, turned to Tan Shi and said, "At the beginning, that **** was so scared that he didn't dare to be disobedient, but who knew that there was a trick behind his back to coax General Long and the prefect. Stop it. Now we still can't figure out her bottom line, who knows what she will do, it is wrong to offend the general and the prefect for her. Now that things have become like this, we have to get back anyway. You just find a chance to go At the general's office in Ziyunlou, I saw that bitch. We said that we are a family after all, and we are also concerned about how well she is doing. Now, we will not blame her anymore. She works for the general, and we The whole family followed suit. If she needs help from her family, she can just ask. The marriage has been cancelled, so it's over. Let me say that I can talk about everything, and I have made sense of Master Qian, and no one will take it easy. Reassure her."

Tan frowned even more as she heard it. Didn't she want to flatter that **** An Ruochen?

An Zhifu said again: "But if you go this way, I'm afraid you won't be able to see her. In two days, I will invite General Zong to help mediate the matter and arrange for you to meet."

Tan Shi pursed her lips tightly, feeling very unhappy in her heart. I even thought about how to ask someone to arrange a meeting, should I let her go?

"Master." Tan said: "I am happy to relieve the master's worries. But it is not appropriate for me to do this matter. When the eldest girl was in the house, she disliked me in every possible way. Her mother left early, and I was in charge In this house, I'm afraid she hates me the most. It's useless for me to go. "

An Zhifu glared: "Maybe I'll go!" Thinking of being called over by his eldest daughter to make fun of him in the yamen, he felt angry.

Mrs. Tan lowered her eyes, knowing that Mrs. Sifang Duan could not go to this matter, she could only fight with An Ruochen. I want to say otherwise and let the third or fifth room go, but thinking about it will provoke their ridicule. Being ridiculed behind the scenes by these **** at home made her sick as much as being ridiculed by An Ruochen at Ziyun Tower.

Tan gritted her teeth and didn't speak.

An Zhifu waved his hand, and said, "That's it. Let your mother's house walk around with Qian's mansion, and find out how he complained to Beijing. Anping, you also pay attention to the movement on the other side of the yamen. Do something, we have to know in advance if there is any trouble."

Everyone responded, An Zhifu told them all to go out, leaving An Ronggui to talk alone.

Tan went back to the yard, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became. Suddenly thinking that just now his son was interrupted in the middle of his speech, he felt that there must be something wrong here. An Ruoxi heard that her mother was back, so she hurried to pay her respects, and asked what her father was talking about at Qian Pei's end.

Mrs. Tan was getting angry and impatient: "Master Qian didn't let your father remarry his daughter, how many times do you have to ask? Why don't I tell you if something happens? I'm your mother, so I can still harm you."

An Ruoxi was cowardly and did not dare to respond. I heard Mrs. Tan scolding there again: "Let me be angry with that bitch, bah!"

An Ruoxi hurriedly brought tea to Tan Shi, and rubbed her shoulders. "Mom, don't be angry. It's because of your daughter. Did you feel wronged? Who are you going to be angry with?"

Tan drank a few sips of tea, her thoughts flowed smoothly, she suddenly had an idea, she turned her head and looked at An Ruoxi who was about to speak, but heard the girl outside the room shouting: "The eldest son is here."

An Ronggui came in. Mrs. Tan pulled him and asked: "You were in the study just now, what did you want to say? Master Qian didn't mean that, what did you mean?"

An Ronggui sat down, drank a cup of tea that An Ruoxi poured, dismissed the girl who came to serve her, and then said: "I was taught another lesson by daddy, but this matter is very important, I still have to Discuss with your mother." After saying this, he glanced at An Ruoxi, hinting whether Mrs. Tan asked her sister to retire as well.

An Ruoxi naturally understood what he meant, but it sounded like this matter was related to their going to the Qian Mansion, and naturally it was also related to Qian Pei, so she would not leave. An Ruoxi hugged Tan's arm and sat down next to her: "Mother, listen to my daughter, maybe I can help you."

Mrs. Tan also wanted to ask her to help, so she said to An Ronggui, "Just tell me."

An Ronggui glanced at An Ruoxi, and then told them everything about the few days they went to Qian's mansion, including Qian Pei's taking them to the animal farm for a few days after they left them alone, and eating by the tiger's side, The meaningful things you said and so on.

Mrs. Tan was surprised when she heard it: "In this way, is Mr. Qian really not afraid of General Long and Lord Taishou?"

An Ronggui said: "I'm not afraid to say it's not good, and I don't know if I pretended to show us or what. But he couldn't swallow this breath. It's true that he wanted to get the fourth sister and the eldest sister. Didn't he say Now, if you want to look at the eldest sister to find the fourth younger sister, and if something happened to them, it's a secret job, and it has nothing to do with him or us."

Mrs. Tan frowned: "Then let's not turn against that **** An Ruochen and try to curry favor with him. Could it be that Master Qian wants to use us to find out about that **** so that he can find out the fourth girl so that he can deal with them in the future? "

"Although I didn't say it clearly, I think that's the case." An Ronggui said: "Dad is also worried about causing trouble in the future. After thinking about it, he told me that no one is allowed to talk about this matter. I advise you Father, Mr. Qian must not offend Mr. Qian. The resignation of the engagement has already humiliated Mr. Qian. According to his temper, he never retaliated against us, but greeted us with a smile. We must be useful now. We have to obey him first Anyway, it is reasonable to contact and express concern with my daughter, and it is not something that violates laws and disciplines. I am not afraid of going anywhere. If Master Qian really asks us to do something out of the ordinary in the future, we will discuss it at that time.

Besides, our family's original business, the restaurant and the goods store, is just like that. Thinking about the worst, if there is a real war, Zhonglan City will not be stable, so how can the restaurant and goods store have good business? If we need to move to other places to escape the war, we can't take these with us. Only the sale of jade is stable and can be transported away, and it is a hot commodity in any county. Master Qian wanted to keep us safe, so naturally we also wanted to keep him safe. He does what he wants, we take our advantage. The eldest sister has a dark heart and dares to disregard the safety of her own family, so why should we care about her. She was supposed to marry Master Qian, so we don't care what Master Qian wants to do to her. "

"That's the reason." Tan nodded quite a bit.

An Ronggui said again: "It's just that Dad is worried about this and that, and he still thinks about how to get rid of the relationship. Don't get involved in this matter. He doesn't think about it either. The elder sister ran away from home, and he divorced the marriage. Master Qian still holds a grudge in his heart." So, how can our family get rid of it. Daddy meant that he couldn't bear to see the elder sister, and he didn't want to see him. He was afraid that if he provoked the past, what would the generals and prefects think about him in the future. So he said he wanted to Mother goes to see her, the eldest sister will definitely give her a bad look, if she is angry, then there is no need to see her

It's the second time. He then told Mr. Qian that that **** didn't care about family affection at all and broke up with our family. Tried all kinds of ways, but couldn't get close to her again. This matter cannot be done. "

Tan frowned, and became angry again, the master himself didn't want to see that bitch's face, it was refreshing to push her out to suffer humiliation.

An Ronggui went on to say: "I was thinking, Mother is definitely not willing to see that bitch, even if father forced her to go, I'm afraid there will be a quarrel, and that's exactly what father wanted. But things like this But it's not beneficial to our family, so I came here to explain the matter to my mother. Dad was thinking about how to refuse Master Qian's request, but Mother thought about it, if we can't even do this, what use is Master Qian wanting us? He is the pleading paper After getting it, our family has no other use for him, and he will still take care of our family?"
