County Magistrate Zhang looked solemn and said coldly, "It was Liu Haoran's fault. Since Miss Meng has spoken, I will arrange for someone to send him back now. Once everything is arranged, I will send someone to inform Miss Meng."
What?
Liu Haoran, who had already taken half a step out, suddenly realized something was wrong and immediately turned around and said, "This is impossible!"
After saying that, he rushed in front of Madam Zhang and said, "Aunt! How can you just sit back and watch me being sent back! Didn't you say you would find me a good marriage?"
Madam Zhang's face instantly became even uglier. She turned her head away and coldly said, "You've committed such a mistake and you still want me to forgive you?"
No! She would never allow this family to cling to her again!
Liu Haoran looked at the cold expression on Madam Zhang's face and only then did he realize something was wrong. His offense against Meng Ruyi was not a big deal, but in his aunt's mouth, it had become a major offense?
No! There must be a problem!
Liu Haoran rolled his eyes and rarely used his brain. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind and he said loudly, "Aunt! Are you going to abandon the Liu family!"
This was supposed to be a test from Liu Haoran, but Madam Zhang was extremely guilty and showed some uneasiness on her face. Liu Haoran caught it in his eyes.
Anger burned through his heart and spread to his limbs. The anger on Liu Haoran's face was almost impossible to hide. His eyes were also burning red.
He angrily shouted, "Bitch! If it wasn't for the Liu family, how could you have become the county magistrate's wife! Now that the Liu family is in trouble, you actually want to abandon us and live your rich life?"
"Don't even think about it!"
Liu Haoran's voice grew louder and louder. The servants were about to step forward and carry him out, but he struggled and managed to break free. Liu Haoran rushed in front of Madam Zhang and pushed her on the shoulder. The woman let out a scream and fell to the ground.
Meng Ruyi's eyes widened. She heard the dull sound of the body hitting the ground. It was like a cold wind that penetrated everywhere and entered her heart. Her face immediately turned pale.
Madam Zhang did not even have time to react and fell to the ground. A stabbing pain came from her stomach.
"Ah————"
The scream pierced the eardrums of everyone present. Madam Zhang screamed, "My child! Liu Haoran! My husband! My husband! Ah!"
The woman did not expect that all her glory and wealth would be cut off by her nephew. The words in her mouth were broken and she stared at Liu Haoran.
County Magistrate Zhang rushed forward and said to the servants, "Quick! Go and find a doctor!"
Meng Ruyi's hands were slightly cold and she stood there blankly.
County Magistrate Zhang helped the woman sit on the chair and then looked tiredly at Zhang Yunyun. "Are you satisfied now?"
The tone carried some blame and indescribable tiredness. It did not sound like a father talking to his daughter, but more like blaming a criminal.
Zhang Yunyun's face was also ugly. The sweat on her forehead floated up and flowed into her eyes. It stung her eyes and she blinked.
"Satisfied?" Zhang Yunyun sneered and said to County Magistrate Zhang, "How can I be satisfied? The person who wanted to plot against me has received retribution. Naturally, I am satisfied."
"Yunyun, I..."
"County Magistrate Zhang, there is no need to say anything."
Zhang Yunyun coldly interrupted the man's words. Her eyes were as sharp as a knife and stabbed into his heart. It left a stabbing pain.
How could he forget? His wife and the Liu family were both plotting against his daughter? How could he blame her because of such a thing?
However, the hurtful words had already been said. County Magistrate Zhang was stared at by his daughter's cold eyes and he could not say a word.
[Ah! Little Song is here!]
[Hurry up! Ruyi is scared. Hurry up and comfort her!]
Meng Ruyi subconsciously looked at the door and saw a familiar figure walking slowly towards them.
When Song Huaizhi saw the farce in the room, he first glanced at Meng Ruyi. When he saw her pale face looking at him, he felt cold and accelerated his footsteps towards the girl.
"County Magistrate Zhang." Song Huaizhi stood in front of Meng Ruyi and showed a protector's stance. He protected the girl behind him. "I don't know when you will be able to handle your family affairs. I'm here to take Ruyi back."
"Then, Young Master Song, you can leave first."
County Magistrate Zhang waved his hand. He did not have the energy to deal with the extremely intelligent young man in front of him.
"Let's go." Song Huaizhi did not say much. He looked at Meng Ruyi's expression and suppressed his desire to touch her head to comfort the girl. He said to County Magistrate Zhang, "Then, I will take Ruyi and her friend first."
Meng Ruyi: "..." Ah?
[Hahaha! Song Huaizhi really knows how to talk. Now, Zhang Yunyun is just Ruyi's friend. Hahaha.]
[I'm dying laughing. In front of someone's father, he calls someone's daughter xx's friend. He really knows how to talk.]
County Magistrate Zhang was stunned. When he saw these people taking a few steps, he suddenly realized something was wrong and said to Zhang Yunyun, "Yunyun, where are you going?"
"Naturally, I will go to Miss Meng's house for a few days and then make plans." Zhang Yunyun did not turn around and just coldly said in her position, "I don't know if County Magistrate Zhang has any plans?"
County Magistrate Zhang wanted to retort and leave her behind, but he did not know how to say it. He just sighed dejectedly and watched his daughter and them leave.
The house was in a mess. For the unborn child, he had let her down. How could he have the face to leave his daughter behind?
County Magistrate Zhang suddenly realized that his mistake had reached an irreparable stage and he was so impulsive that he realized he could not turn back when he reached this stage.
The mess of the Liu family, the crying wife in front of him, the child that might not be able to be protected before it was born, and Liu Haoran struggling with his mouth covered.
County Magistrate Zhang's eyes were straight and he took a few steps back almost in despair. He almost fell to the ground.
"My lord!"
The servant screamed and rushed forward to support him.
County Magistrate Zhang waved his hand and stood up straight. He walked towards the study.
"Take good care of the madam and then lock Liu Haoran in the wood shed first."
After giving the order, County Magistrate Zhang accelerated his footsteps.
At this point, the mistake was irreparable, but it could still be slightly remedied.
...
Zhang Yunyun tightened her face. As soon as she went out, the tears could not stop flowing. Her sleeves were wiped wet.
"Sigh." Meng Ruyi sighed and took a step forward. She hugged her in her arms and gently patted her back to silently comfort the girl.
Song Huaizhi stood on the side and silently waited for Zhang Yunyun to finish crying. Only then did he say, "The matter of the Liu family cannot be covered. I estimate that someone will start to make a move in three to five days."
