Chapter 242 The Eve of the Lawsuit
Lu Zimin came quickly to find Xie Jiaojiao.
As soon as he came up, he bowed to Xie Jiaojiao and said, "I spoke without thinking last time, I hope Madam will not blame me!"
Xie Jiaojiao waved her hands: "I also know that Attorney Lu just doesn't want to take this case."
Lu Zimin laughed at himself and shook his head slightly: "I just didn't expect that Madam would find out Lu's weakness in just a few moves."
"I'm just taking shortcuts!"
After Xie Jiaojiao finished speaking, Lu Zimin bowed to her and said, "Speaking of which, it should be Mrs. Xie of Lu! Ruo'er hasn't spoken to me for a long time!"
"Lawyer Lu is also a sentimental person..."
Lu Zimin laughed at himself and said, "Since you have agreed to be my wife's lawyer, please tell me everything that happened, no matter how big or small!"
That's what I was waiting for.
Xie Jiaojiao recounted what had happened, including the trouble the Zhou family had caused her before.
Lu Zimin was thinking as he listened.
Hearing the end, Lu Zimin frowned slightly: "Madam's husband, did he say in front of everyone that he wanted to kill the old lady of the Zhou family?"
Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "Yes, he did say that, but that was before the end of last year. And I was bullied at the time, so he said that because he was angry!"
Lu Zimin nodded slightly.
Xie Jiaojiao added: "Although my husband was a playboy before we got married, he never did anything that was against the will of heaven..."
……
In the middle of the night, Xie Jiaojiao took Lu Zimin back to Jiangbo City.
As soon as he returned to the city, he asked Lai Fu to arrange for Lu Zimin to stay, and he went to the cell immediately. It was the same jailer again. It was almost dawn at this time.
When the prison boss saw her, he was very surprised.
When they arrived at the cell, Jiang Weinan, who had his eyes closed, opened them instantly as if by telepathy. He turned his head slightly and saw Xie Jiaojiao. He turned over and got up from the ground.
With the dim light outside, Jiang Weinan saw that Xie Jiaojiao looked exhausted, with dark circles under her eyes, and felt very distressed.
He reached out and touched Xie Jiaojiao's face: "You must be exhausted because of me these past two days!"
Xie Jiaojiao shook her head and tried to smile: "I have invited the most powerful lawyer in Jiangyang Prefecture, you will be fine!"
Then he reached out and held Jiang Weinan's hand: "You have suffered these past two days. I swore in front of your mother that I would treat you well in this life, but you have to suffer this prison disaster!"
Jiang Weinan couldn't help but laugh: "Why do you make me sound like a woman?"
Xie Jiaojiao also smiled, and the two of them just looked at each other, neither of them willing to blink.
It was Jiang Weinan who spoke again: "Go back and have a rest first."
Xie Jiaojiao shook her head: "I'm right here, I'll accompany you to the court!"
Xie Jiaojiao was generous and gave the jailer a lot of money. The jailer saw that there were not many people in the jail anyway and Jiang Weinan had already taken care of it, so he didn't care.
On the other side, Li Qiuhe woke up early in the morning and asked Aunt Zhang: "I remember the trial is today?"
Nanny Zhang nodded.
Li Qiuhe asked again: "What has the village girl been doing these days?"
"I heard someone report that he went to Jiangyang Prefecture!"
"Jiangyang Mansion? Haha..." Li Qiuhe chuckled: "She is an ignorant village woman! Her husband is in jail, but she still ran to Jiangyang Mansion!"
But as soon as she finished speaking, she felt something was wrong and suddenly frowned: "Could it be that she went to ask for help?"
Nanny Zhang replied, "I haven't heard that she went to the government office for any reason."
"What kind of trouble can she make? After today, when that brat Jiang Weinan is sentenced to beheaded, she will be kicked out of the house. By then, I will take back all the shops that Jiang Li had in his hands, oh, and Jiang Li's dowry!"
When she talked about this, she became very angry.
Aunt Zhang didn't dare to answer at all. Li Qiuhe took a deep breath and asked again, "Is that bitch Li Juan'er still not behaving herself these past two days?"
"She's been clamoring to see the master in her yard all day long!"
"What does the master say?"
"The master has been staying with Aunt Fang all day and has not paid any attention to her at all!"
Li Qiuhe covered his mouth and smiled, then took the mouthwash cup handed over by the maid, rinsed his mouth a few times, and then said sternly: "With her looks, there are so many people everywhere on the street. Who are you? How dare you fight with me!"
As soon as she said this, she asked again: "What is her mother doing recently?"
Nanny Zhang replied, "It's still the same as before, but she came to see Aunt Li two days ago, and I asked the guards to keep her away and not let her in!"
"You did the right thing, that bitch. When my brother was still alive, I told him to divorce that bitch, but he refused to listen. There is no other man who can send his daughter to his uncle's bed!"
In Li Qiuhe's heart, he concluded that Li Juan'er was instigated by her mother to seduce Jiang Huaian!
Nanny Zhang nodded and said yes.
Li Qiuhe didn't dwell on this point, and asked her to help choose the jewelry. Later, she would be dazzling and go to see the county magistrate sentenced Jiang Weinan to death! It would also help her brother get rid of this bad breath!
I also asked Nanny Zhang about the Zhou family's situation over the past two days.
Aunt Zhang said, "Madam, don't worry. The Zhou family has taken the silver and has already made it clear that when the time comes, they will insist that Jiang Weinan pay for his murder! And the county magistrate has also been bribed with the silver."
Li Qiuhe nodded with satisfaction, packed up everything, and prepared to go out. Before he reached the door, he ran into Jiang Huaian.
Seeing him coming out of his yard with a look of excessive debauchery on his face, Li Qiuhe really didn't want to even look at him.
Jiang Huaian stopped her, and seeing her head full of head ornaments and face covered with powder, he frowned slightly, and said in dissatisfaction: "Where are you going so early in the morning, dressed up so fancy?"
Li Qiuhe adjusted the hairpin on her head and asked instead of answering, "Master, are you going out so early in the morning?"
When she said this, Jiang Huaian looked a little unnatural: "What do you care what I do!"
After saying this, he flicked his sleeves and left.
At this time, the old servant who happened to be with Jiang Huaian passed by her and called out to her respectfully: "Hello, Madam!"
Li Qiuhe swung his handkerchief and said, "Alright, you are the master's sidekick, you don't have to be so polite to me. What is the master doing so early in the morning?"
The old slave was embarrassed and speechless.
Seeing that Li Qiuhe looked a little impatient, Nanny Zhang said, "Madam is asking you a question!"
The old servant then said, "When Aunt Fang woke up this morning, she asked for sour horn cakes from the west of the city, so the master went out to buy some for her."
As soon as she finished saying this, Li Qiuhe clenched her handkerchief and was very angry. However, she comforted herself, "Don't be angry, don't be angry. You have already given up on that man. Why do you care who he treats well?"
But, tamarind cake?
Li Qiuhe said to the old slave: "Okay, you can go down."
Then he turned around and said to Aunt Zhang: "Send someone to take a look today."
There was no need to make it particularly clear; Nanny Zhang knew exactly what she wanted to do and quickly agreed.
Only then did Li Qiuhe step out of the door.
