Chapter 2004 Planning
The Qin family was planning all day long, and even at night, the light in the study was never turned off. It was not until dawn the next day that the group came out of the study.
At this moment, their faces were no longer filled with sorrow. Instead, they were refreshed and looked as if they had achieved great revenge.
In an instant, the Qin family's complex network of relationships in the local area began to operate, but Chen Changli and Wan Shufang were unaware of all this.
this day.
The county government's legal advisor passed by the inn where Liu Xiuyun was temporarily staying. When he saw that several people were about to go out, he prepared to visit Chen Changli and walked up quickly.
"Sir, please stay!" he shouted. Chen Changli turned around and was a little confused when he saw the unfamiliar face. The lawyer quickly smiled and explained, "Sir, I am the lawyer of the county government."
"I have heard of your name for a long time, and I have come to see you specially."
After saying this, he bowed towards Chen Changli, and Chen Changli nodded slightly in return. As they were greeting each other in a businesslike manner, the crowd suddenly became lively.
I saw a few big men pushing the crowd aside, and several shop owners came forward, staring at Liu Xiuyun with a smile on their faces, but the words they spoke made people feel cold all over.
"Ms. Liu, this is the debt your father owes us. When will he pay it back?" They took out a stack of papers and handed them to Liu Xiuyun.
Looking at the thick, book-like debt note, Liu Xiuyun shook her head in disbelief: "How is this possible?"
"How can it be impossible? This is what your father owed you. It's your turn to pay it back now."
The shop owner's face turned cold, and several big men he brought with him stepped forward instantly, as if they wanted to catch Liu Xiuyun. No one could react to this sudden change.
The county magistrate found an excuse and ran away. Wan Shufang looked at the approaching big man with a cold expression. She summoned the secret guards and stood in front of Liu Xiuyun.
"Is this kind of unfounded matter worthy of a group of grown men like you forcing a weak woman on the street? Otherwise, we can ask the county magistrate to judge the matter."
Wan Shufang's words made the big men stop and look at each other, then hesitantly at the shop owner. They all knew Wan Shufang's identity and did not dare to go too far.
The shop owner smiled apologetically and glanced at Liu Xiuyun indifferently: "Miss Liu, it is only natural to pay back your debts. You can't hide under someone else's wings all your life."
"Let's go." After saying that, he snatched the debt note from Liu Xiuyun's hand and left in a swagger.
After the people left, Liu Xiuyun felt her knees go weak and she collapsed to the ground, covering her face and crying.
"Madam, my father has been dead for 30 years. How could he owe foreign debts?" Liu Xiuyun cried, her body trembling, which was very touching.
Seeing that more and more people gathered around, Wan Shufang helped Liu Xiuyun up and walked towards the inn.
"Go back to your room first. Don't worry. This kind of thing happened at this critical moment. It must be the work of the Qin family. Once we have all the evidence, we will sue them in one fell swoop to the county government."
Hearing this, Liu Xiuyun felt much better and followed Wan Shufang into the house obediently to avoid being laughed at in vain. The Qin family's sending people to cause trouble made Liu Xiuyun more determined to overthrow the Qin family.
She didn't sleep the whole night, thinking about the details of the incident and trying to find more clues.
The next morning.
When Wan Shufang came over to call her, she saw Liu Xiuyun staring at a pair of dark circles under her eyes, and she looked listless. She frowned and asked, "Are you okay?"
Liu Xiuyun smiled weakly. Not wanting to make Wan Shufang worry, she suppressed her physical discomfort and said softly, "It's okay. I just kept thinking about the Qin family last night. Madam, where are we going today?"
"Don't go yet, someone from the Qin family is coming."
As she spoke, she took Liu Xiuyun's hand and walked towards another room.
At this moment, in the room, Chen Changli and Qin's housekeeper looked at each other in silence. When they saw Wan Shufang and Liu Xiuyun coming, Qin's housekeeper immediately showed joy.
He stepped forward and saluted the two men.
"Greetings to the two ladies."
"Miss Liu, I'm here today because the master asked me to return your dowry." After he finished speaking, Butler Qin clapped his hands, and soon four strong men came in carrying a mahogany gift box.
The boxes were neatly arranged. Butler Qin opened them one by one and saw neatly stacked land deeds and banknotes inside, with a pair of jade bracelets on top.
It was exactly Liu Xiuyun’s dowry back then!
Seeing these things, Liu Xiuyun was shocked, but she did not rush to touch them. Instead, she stared at Butler Qin vigilantly.
Over the past few days, she has seen the true face of the Qin family and absolutely does not believe that they would be so kind as to return the things to her.
Wan Shufang had naturally thought of this, and before Liu Xiuyun spoke, she took the lead in asking, "Didn't the Qin family deny it in court that day?"
"Why are you secretly sending things here now?"
Wan Shufang emphasized the word "stealing" and successfully saw a hint of anger on Butler Qin's face, but he hid it very well. After a moment, he came to his senses and still had that businesslike smile.
"These are all orders from the master of the house. I am just following orders."
Seeing that the other party was passing the buck, Wan Shufang's eyes fixed, and she did not hesitate to pierce the fig leaf: "Tell me, what is your master's purpose?"
Upon hearing this, Butler Qin's expression changed, and even Liu Xiuyun became nervous.
Thinking of the purpose of his visit today, Butler Qin gritted his teeth. No matter how strong Wan Shufang's aura was, he still took out the settlement document.
"Our head of the family said that the dowry has been returned to Liu. All we need is for Liu to sign this settlement document. At that time, not only will we return all the property, but the Qin family will also add another house in the south of the city."
"It's not good for Liu to live in the inn all the time with her child. Only with a yard can she settle down." Butler Qin spoke slowly, and these words kept drilling into Liu Xiuyun's mind as if they could bewitch people.
She walked over slowly, and Butler Qin handed her the document. Liu Xiuyun looked down at the document. There was a bright red official seal underneath. It was a formal...
The terms were written in a high-sounding manner, making people yearn for it. Liu Xiuyun couldn't help but touch the bracelet that was lost and found, and kept muttering: "Mother, this is what you gave Yun'er, Yun'er finally got it back."
"But mother, those who bullied Yun'er have not yet received retribution."
Tears slid down her face and dripped onto the table. She panicked and hurriedly wiped them away carefully. Her expression was heartbreaking.
Thinking of the days when she was living outside and her child couldn't even have a bowl of hot porridge, Liu Xiuyun bit her lip, as if she had made up her mind, and her eyes gradually became firm.
"Mother, Yun'er is also a mother, and she must protect her child." She stood up, placed the settlement document on the table, and picked up the pen with trembling hands.
