Chapter 22

At night, Hua Ting and Ouyang Ji squatted again and still did not see the bloody handprints. Ouyang Ji came back in the middle of the night, hugged Hua Ting and fell asleep.

Hua Ting is also used to being hugged by Ouyang Ji to sleep, this time even when she was hugged by Ouyang Ji when she was awake, she did not resist, and even obediently nestled in Ouyang Ji's arms and fell asleep faster than Ouyang Ji.

Ouyang Ji fell asleep with a smug smile at the corner of his mouth. The next day, the two of them woke up hugging each other. They naturally got up, washed, cooked and ate. Hua Ting somehow felt like an old married couple.

According to Hua Ting's plan, Ouyang Ji started to make preparations. The first thing was to find investment, but the two of them had different opinions. Hua Ting meant to find his parents, official Liu Qinglan, and ask him to come forward to help build the Taishan Fujun Temple. All income will be shared with the government office. [-]-[-].

On the other hand, Ouyang Ji proposed that the Qingshui yamen had no money to invest, so it would be better to find Master Xue, a rich man from Jiuqu County. As long as the rich man was willing to invest, building a temple would not be a problem.

But because Hua Ting insisted, the two still went to Liu Qinglan first. Liu Qinglan was very happy to hear that the local income could be increased after the temple was built, but when he heard that he was asked to take the money, he frowned and began to cry poorly. Hua Ting is looking for Mr. Xue, the local rich man in Jiuqu County.

Hua Ting knew that the habit of asking the government for her future generations' affairs would not work in ancient times, so she had to go to Master Xue's house with Ouyang Ji.

When we arrived at Xue's house, there was no mourning banner hanging outside the gate of the mansion, and there was no coffin shed inside the mansion. Both the porter and servants were all dressed brightly...

If it didn't come from the government office, knowing that Xue Feng had been exiled for killing Xue Ziwen, and Xue Ziwen's body was taken away by Mr. Xue, Hua Ting would have thought that the dead Xue Ziwen was not from Xue's family.

"Master Xue is weird."

Ouyang and the flowers listened to the whispers.

"How do you know?"

"Our custom here is that no matter men, women, old or young people die, they have to keep vigil for seven days. Even if Xue Ziwen has been dead for many days, he will not be buried hastily without even doing the funeral."

Ouyang Ji's words solved Hua Ting's doubts. It turns out that it is not a local custom that the Xue family did not hold a funeral for Xue Ziwen who died in vain.

"But why is Mr. Xue willing to take the risk of being criticized and refuse to hold a funeral for Xue Ziwen?"

Ouyang Ji took Hua Ting's hand and went straight to Xue's house, "Then you have to ask Master Xue to find out."

The concierge remembered Hua Ting, and mistakenly thought that Hua Ting had come to find the master to settle an old score, and politely stopped the two of them to explain that Master Xue was not at home.

Ouyang Ji said, "Why is Master Xue not in the mansion, but there is a carriage parked outside your door?"

If it wasn't a visitor from Xue's family, how could the concierge allow the other party to park the carriage outside the gate of Xue's mansion. Ouyang Ji's face was gloomy, and he broke into the mansion gate with Huating while asking questions.

The concierge was going to catch up and stop the two of them, at this time a person walked out from the mansion, bumped into Hua Ting who was holding hands with Ouyang and he cried out in joy.

"Sixth Sister..."

Hua Ting looked at this person, and immediately there was a message in his mind, Mr. Hua Xi, the eldest brother of the original owner, was working in Yingtian Mansion, married his wife and sealed his family name, and had already settled down in Yingtian Mansion.

Hua Ting is no longer the original Hua Ting, and she doesn't want to associate with the indifferent and stupid Hua family anymore, so she pulls Ouyang and walks around Hua Xijun with a sullen face.

"Sixth Sister!" Hua Xijun said anxiously, "I know that Sixth Sister has resentment in her heart, but she can't write two words in one stroke. We are a family, and my father is still angry. In the future, my eldest brother will find a way to persuade him Take you back."

Huating stopped and said, "I have nothing to do with the Hua family anymore, it's best for each of us to be safe."

Hua Xijun had a hurt expression, "Why is Sixth Sister so heartless?"

After all, she was not the original owner after traveling through time. The poor original owner had already died under the ruthless club of the Hua family, but now Hua Xijun, who is a member of the Hua family, actually said that she was heartless?
Hua Ting sneered, "Since I'm unfeeling, why bother with me anymore, from now on I'll make a clean break with the Hua family, don't bother me again."

Jun Hua Xi said, "As a big brother, no matter how heartless the sixth younger sister is, the big brother can't sit idly by. You're used to wearing gold belts and silver to be rich and honored at home, so why don't you feel wronged by marrying a poor boy now? Big brother here's some money, you just take it first Go, if it's not enough, just go to Big Brother, Big Brother will definitely not let Sixth Sister be wronged."

Yo Ho, there is money to take!Hua Ting turned to face Mr. Hua Xi, and saw that Mr. Hua Xi took out two silver notes from his sleeve pocket, took them in his hand and looked, two hundred taels of silver notes, the money for building the temple.

Hua Ting looked disdainful, "200 taels? Big brother is so generous."

Hua Xijun was stabbed and said shyly, "It's not that elder brother doesn't want to give you more, it's because there are a lot of money for father's affairs, and I can't get too much money for a while, but don't worry, I will save father's money." Prison disaster, big brother will send you some money, and you spend it first."

Hua Ting heard a sudden plan, said.

"Why, Xue Ziwen's life is my life, but my life is not my life? If you kill Xue Ziwen and pay compensation, what about my compensation?"

Hua Xijun was taken aback by the question, and stared blankly at Huating with disbelief.

"As much as you pay the Xue family, you have to pay me the same amount of money, otherwise, I will let my husband go to the county government to sue you."

Hua Ting is married to another woman, so she is no longer from the Hua family. As Hua Ting's husband, Ouyang Ji, can naturally seek compensation, but Hua Xijun dare not listen to Hua Ting's words.

"Sixth sister, why are you bothering, can the Hua family be short of your money?"

"I don't know if the Hua family is short of my money, but I know that the Hua family owes me a life. I accept the kindness of Lord Taishan for saving my life, but I have no relationship with your Hua family. If you refuse to pay, we will See you at the Yamen."

Hua Ting put down harsh words, and went straight into Xue's mansion with Ouyang Ji, and the concierge listened to Hua Ting even daring to rip off his brother, turned his face so ruthlessly, how could he dare to step forward to stop him, so he had to send a servant to run quickly Send a letter to Xue Dingfeng.

When Xue Dingfeng heard that Huating broke into the mansion, he nonchalantly ordered the servant to bring Huating to meet Ouyang Ji.

Hua Ting and Ouyang Ji didn't know exactly where Xue Dingfeng was in Xue's residence, so they took the opportunity to wander around and ran into a richly dressed woman in her thirties playing with a three or four-year-old child in a courtyard. When someone appeared, the woman hid the child vigilantly behind her.

"I've seen Madam..." Hua Ting had a guess in her heart, and said hello with her intentionally enchanting body.

The woman looked at Hua Ting warily, frowned and said, "Who are you, dare to break into the inner courtyard with a foreigner, looking for a fight."

The maidservants who were accompanying them picked up the broom and scissors and were about to do it, Hua Ting said hastily.

"My husband and I came to see Mr. Xue at an appointment, but we went the wrong way and broke into the inner courtyard. Please forgive me for my impoliteness."

Hearing that Hua Ting has an owner, the woman glanced at the silent Ouyang Ji, seeing the thin young man holding Hua Ting's hand in a docile manner, her expression softened a lot.

"Shaoyao, take the guest to see the master."
