Zhang Lius.h.i.+’s eyes were red. When everyone was unprepared, she suddenly stood up, took out a pair of scissors from who knows where, and stabbed it at fatty w.a.n.g.
....
At this moment, her eyes were filled with the joy of revenge, as if fatty w.a.n.g would die if she stabbed him, and all the suffering she had suffered for the past year would be repaid.
It was a pity that Lu Zheng was standing beside fatty w.a.n.g. He followed fatty w.a.n.g and faced Zhang Lius.h.i.+ directly, so he saw Zhang Lius.h.i.+’s movements at the first moment. Just as the scissors were about to stab fatty w.a.n.g, he stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Lius.h.i.+’s wrist. With a little force, Zhang Lius.h.i.+’s hand was in pain and she lost all strength. The scissors fell and Zhang Lius.h.i.+ cried out in pain.
“Liu Xiaohua! You’re Liu Xiaohua!” At this time, the head butler, who had heard the story halfway, finally appeared. He walked to fatty w.a.n.g’s side and looked at Zhang Lius.h.i.+ in surprise.
Zhang Lius.h.i.+’s hand was still being held by Lu Zheng. She recognized the head butler.
The chief Steward of the w.a.n.g family was a study attendant hired by Lord w.a.n.g when he was studying. He had accompanied Lord w.a.n.g since he was young and was fully aware of what had happened in Tongzhou.
“Tie him up!” Lu Zheng released Zhang Lius.h.i.+ and asked he gang and the others to bring the rope over.
In the beginning, no one had thought that Zhang Lius.h.i.+ would have a weapon on her. Who would have thought that an ordinary village woman would hide a pair of scissors on her body? Moreover, the people around her were from the Yamen and they thought they could defend against her.
However, the story she told was too long and too serious. The people who were listening to her had forgotten to guard against her.
“Uncle, is what she said true?” Fatty w.a.n.g turned to the head butler and asked with difficulty.
“Young master, it’s not like that. Don’t listen to her nonsense. Old master gave her family money and old master also told her that it could support the rest of her life.” The head butler denied without hesitation.
“You’re talking nonsense!” Zhang Lius.h.i.+ glared at the head butler fiercely. If she wasn’t being held down, she would have stepped forward and bitten the head butler.
“I’m not talking nonsense! I was the one who personally took the silver to your house. It was the old master who sent me to your house. Your mother and your brother and sister-in-law said that the silver was too little. Not only did the old master take you in as a concubine, but they also asked the old master to find something for your brother to do in the Yamen. Don’t you know what your brother is like? They drove me away, saying that if I don’t take you as a concubine and don’t find a job for your brother in the Yamen, they will spread the news that the old master touched you but didn’t take responsibility to the entire County, to the entire province.” The head butler said angrily.
Even though more than 20 years had pa.s.sed, he still couldn’t help but feel angry when he thought about what had happened in the past.
“When did you come to my house? When did he say he wanted to take me as his concubine? Hmph, now that everyone who knows about this is dead, you can make it up, right? Hahahaha, I’ve always known that the people don’t fight with the officials. Whatever you say!” Zhang Lius.h.i.+’s face was full of dissatisfaction.
“After we went down the mountain, the old master was still recuperating, so he asked me to go to your house to talk about this. You’re the one who didn’t agree, you’re the one who’s greedy. Do you know how you were captured by the bandits and brought up the mountain? He used you to pave the way for himself. He wanted to go to the village and follow the king. In the end, the bandits also took old master away. After what happened, he changed his mind. Don’t tell me that you don’t know about this?” The head butler frowned and continued, ” it’s not just you. A few of the girls in your village were also harmed by your brother.
