Chapter 782 Chivalrous and righteous
During the period before the New Year, Tong Huaqiong was very busy preparing for the weaving workshop.
"Aunt Tong, Miss Taohua."
One day, when the mother and daughter were inspecting the containers at Jufulai, they met a familiar-looking person.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Lu Yiner, who was already married to Gao Ming.
This was the first time Tong Huaqiong met Lu Yiner in person since she left the Su Mansion last time.
Tong Huaqiong looked her up and down, and found that her whole temperament seemed to have changed. The delicate and petty air in her was gone, replaced by gentleness and grace.
Although what he wore was not luxurious, it looked very decent.
A maid followed behind him, carrying two packages in her hands.
It seems that Lu Yiner is living well in the Gao family.
"I came to Jufulai to have a look around and buy some cloth, and by the way, give a cape to Miss Taohua."
Lu Yiner took the neatly folded cloak from the maid beside her and handed it to Gu Taohua.
Gu Taohua took it.
Lu Yiner took the opportunity to express her gratitude.
"Aunt Tong, everyone says that the cotton cloth from your Jufulai is very comfortable to wear. My parents are coming back from the countryside in a few days, and I plan to buy some cotton cloth to make cotton clothes for them." Lu Yiner said casually.
Tong Huaqiong nodded and said, "Take your time to choose. Once you've made your choice, I'll ask the store to give you a lower price."
Lu Yiner said, "Thank you. But business is business, and I'll pay you what you deserve. Aunt Tong doesn't have to take special care of me."
The words were very appropriate.
We were not very familiar with each other.
Tong Huaqiong really didn't want to deal with Lu Yiner, so she smiled and walked away.
I thought that this was the end of my interactions with Lu Yiner.
But we met again.
Tong Huaqiong and Gu Taohua were counting accounts in the shop until the evening. When they were passing through an alley on their way home in a carriage, they found Lu Yiner being harassed by a second-rate guy.
"Cousin, why are you pretending to be a chaste woman? You were having an affair with a man before you got married. Everyone in Shengjing knows your reputation."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, I thought my cousin married such a good man, but he is just a soldier of the Royal Guards. Look at the way my cousin is dressed, it is so shabby, even my maid would not look down on this dress. My cousin, do you regret refusing to be my concubine and live such a poor life?"
"But it's not too late for you to regret now. Leave your adulterer and become my mistress. I will buy you a big house and some servants to serve you. I will ensure that you will have the best food and the best clothes."
The second-rate guy is Su Chengmin's half-brother Su Chengji.
Su Chengji not only used foul language, he even touched Lu Yiner.
Lu Yiner's face turned pale after being stimulated by Su Chengji's words. She shook off Su Chengji's hand and said angrily, "Get lost."
She lived a good life in the Gao family.
The mother-in-law doesn't cause trouble. Gao Ming treats her well and respects her opinions on all matters in the Gao family.
Although her daily food and clothing were not as luxurious as those of the Su family, she had enough food and drink.
Knowing that she was worried about her parents and younger brothers and sisters at home, Gao Ming sent someone to pick up her family and bring them to Beijing.
Gao Ming discussed with her that her younger brother was a good student, so he asked Su Chengmin to find a private school in Shengjing so that her younger brother could study in Shengjing with peace of mind and pursue a good future.
If her parents are willing to return home, they can go back. If they don't want to go back, they can buy a shop in Shengjing. Her father is good at hunting and handling livestock, so they can open a butcher shop.
From then on, her whole family lived together in Shengjing.
Lu Yiner felt very touched by Gao Ming's actions.
Her aunt had been in Shengjing for more than ten years, but she had never allowed any member of the Lu family except her, a chess piece, to come to Shengjing, let alone allow any member of the Lu family to step into the gate of the Su Mansion.
Lu Yiner hasn't seen her parents, brothers and sisters for many years.
She seldom left the Gao family's house on weekdays, but she was very excited when she thought about her parents, brothers and sisters-in-law coming soon. She had been busy going out to buy gifts for them these days.
I went shopping a little late today and was blocked by Su Chengji.
She would not allow her good life to be ruined by the Su family.
Lu Yiner wanted to eat Su Chengji.
Su Chengji was furious when he saw Lu Yin'er turning her face away from him. He said in a frivolous tone, "How dare you reject me? With your bad reputation as a whore, if it gets out, people will just say that you seduced me."
Lu Yiner was shaking with anger.
The maidservant beside her was so angry that she stood in front of Lu Yin'er and scolded Su Chengji: "Sir, stop talking nonsense. Judging from your appearance, you are a rich man, but you dare to tease a decent woman in broad daylight. Aren't you afraid that we will report you to the police?"
Su Chengji sneered and said that what he was least afraid of was reporting to the police.
"Your little hoof is pretty good looking, why don't you follow me along with your young mistress?"
Su Chengji rubbed two fingers together and was about to wipe them on the maid's face.
"Hey, who dares to touch me?"
Su Chengji's hand was grabbed by someone.
Even though he was very strong, he couldn't get rid of it.
"Help......"
He was uttering harsh words one second and begging for mercy the next.
With a click, Gu Taohua broke Su Chengji's wrist.
Su Chengji howled like a pig being slaughtered.
When he saw the person in front of him clearly, he cursed in his heart why this woman had such strong hands.
"Damn bitch..." Su Chengji's brain was cramping in pain, but he still uttered dirty words.
Gu Taohua raised her foot and kicked.
This person deserves to be punished.
Su Chengji was kicked so hard that he almost died. He hunched over like a shrimp and begged for mercy, "Sister-in-law, I won't dare to do it again."
He called her "sister-in-law" in an attempt to get close to Gu Taohua.
"Who is your sister-in-law." Gu Taohua kicked her in the face twice more.
Su Chengji's face was kicked into a pig's head.
The sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty flavors rushed into my mouth from my nasal cavity, and I spat out a mouthful of blood.
A pair of blood-red eyes stared at Gu Taohua.
"What are you looking at? You are the son of a second-rank official in the court, and you are actually in heat in the street. You are so shameless. If you are in heat, go home. Are you a stud pig, why are you in heat in the street?" Tong Huaqiong pointed at Su Chengji's face that was swollen like a pig's head and cursed.
Su Chengji felt as if all the bones in his body were about to break.
"Since you know that I am the son of a second-rank official in the court, you should know that my father will not forgive you if he finds out." Su Chengji gritted his teeth and ordered his followers behind him to besiege Gu Taohua and Tong Huaqiong.
Tong Huaqiong sneered: "We dare to offend Princess Mingyue, let alone a playboy like you. If you say anything more, I will beat you to death."
Su Chengji was furious and shouted, "Beat them to death."
Anyway, if he kills someone, his father will take care of it.
So what if this person is my future sister-in-law? As long as my father is around, my eldest brother will not kill him.
Gu Taohua and Tong Huaqiong picked up the iron rods from the carriage.
Tong Huaqiong even gave one to Lu Yiner and the maid.
As for why there were iron bars on the carriage, it was because Tong Huaqiong did not believe in the public security of that era.
Especially since she was a wealthy businessman, there was a chance that some ignorant criminals would come to rob her, so she asked Su Chengmin to make a lot of iron rods from the blacksmith shop, and put a few of them in each carriage in the house.
Anyway, she won't surrender easily if she encounters a criminal.
Unexpectedly, the first time the iron rod came in handy was when I saw injustice and stood up for justice.
The few servants who followed Su Chengji were intimidated by the fierce momentum of Gu Taohua and Tong Huaqiong, and they stepped forward reluctantly.
"Mom, we must capture the leader first. You catch Su Chengji and I will deal with them."
Tong Huaqiong was quick-witted and hit Su Chengji on the leg with a stick.
Su Chengji fell to his knees with a roar, and Tong Huaqiong grabbed him.
