The next day, ah Chun came again with li Muyan’s reply.
It was a blueprint of the shop’s interior that li Muyan had redrawn based on Gu Nian’s ideas. The rest of the words were nonsense to Gu Nian.
Therefore, Gu Nian did not even reply to her. Instead, she asked ah Chun to tell her that the decoration would be done according to the drawing.
After ah Chun left, Gu Xin ran back home and pulled Gu Nian over. “Sister, let’s go and watch the show!”
“What’s so exciting?” Gu Nian asked. It’s been raining for so long that the roads outside can’t be walked anymore, and there’s still someone here to watch?”
Gu Xin chuckled,’it’s really lively! Zhang Yunyun’s brother was captured by the Yamen!”
Gu Nian was stunned. Wasn’t Zhang Yunyun’s elder brother a scholar? He’s just a scholar, what did he do to get caught?”
Gu Xin,’I don’t know either! big sister huihui and little sister sisi have already gone, so let’s go too.”
Gu Nian had a feeling that her father was the one who had caused this commotion.
the last time the zhang family’s woman came over and beat her mother, she went to take revenge for the sake of the younger ones. however, she didn’t punish them at all.
She thought that her father was waiting for the exam to pa.s.s before making a move!
now, it seemed that her father was secretly doing something again.
The two sisters stepped on a handful of mud and arrived at the Zhang family’s house.
At this moment, the Zhang family was still surrounded by people, but the county government had already taken Zhang Yunfu away.
Zhang Yunfu was the eldest son of Zhang Lizheng and Madam Xu. He was also the elder brother of Zhang Yungui and Zhang Yunyun. He had become a scholar two years ago, but he did not pa.s.s the imperial examination that year. He had been studying in the county for the past two years.
He had married the only daughter of an oil mill’s owner and had two sons. The family of four lived in a small courtyard in the county and rarely came back. Gu Nian had only seen him once and did not have much of an impression of him.
Zhang Yunfu was a scholar, had a father who was Li Zheng, and the Yue family had a small fortune. The villagers were envious of him and wanted to curry favor with him.
So, when something happened to him, wouldn’t there be more people who were eager to see the fun?
Unfortunately, Gu Xin and Gu Nian were too late. All they could see was the back of the car as it drove away, as well as Madam Zhang and Madam Xu sitting on the bluestone floor, crying despite the wet ground.
Gu Xin’s eyes were sharp as she spotted Gu Hui and Gu si standing under the tree outside the Zhang family’s house. She pulled Gu Nian over and asked, ” “Sister Huihui, what’s going on?”
“Murder,” Gu Hui replied.
Gu Xin was speechless.
“who did he kill?” gu nian asked curiously. Hasn’t it been raining these past few days? I think he was at home the past few days!”
Gu si replied,’it’s because I killed someone that I ran back to the village to hide. even after so many days of rain, the evidence has not been washed away. our lord yan is observant and observant. ah, sisters, let’s go to the yamen to watch the trial!”
Gu Xin,’sure! Let big brother Yuan Yuan bring us there. We’re going to buy some food for the Mid-Autumn Festival anyway.”
the sisters had finished their discussion and were about to look for lu zheng when zhang yunyun rushed over with red eyes and stopped them.”Don’t go! It’s definitely you! It must be you guys! Why would my big brother kill someone? it must be you!”
Gu Hui crossed her arms. Zhang Yunyun, if you have a problem with your brain, go and find a doctor. It’s useless to come to us!
Zhang Yunyun glared at the four sisters, ” “it must be you guys! last time, our two families fought, and your family has a good relations.h.i.+p with the county magistrate. last time, the county magistrate’s wife came, so he must have helped you. My big brother is an elementary scholar, how could he kill people! It’s definitely you guys!”
Gu Xin glared at Zhang Yunyun, ” you really think highly of our family. You even got the county Magistrate to help you cheat and accuse your brother of murder! Do you know what crime it is to kill? A life for a life! Don’t talk nonsense when you don’t know anything! You’re just jealous that our family is Living a Good Life. Now that something has happened to your family, you have to blame it on us and make us like your family? Let me tell you, it’s impossible! We’re doing this with integrity! I want to see your big brother on trial! Hmph!”
