Flowers in full bloom

Chapter 261 Broken Leg

In fact, he had seen Han Wenbing several times when he was in the Marquis' Mansion. He looked okay, at least not as dark-skinned as Han Qingge, but he was not handsome either.

When Han Wenbing was in the Marquis's family school, his grades were at the bottom. He took the Imperial College exam four or five times but failed. I heard that he was also absent-minded in the academy outside recently, and he would skip school from time to time to listen to folk songs in the willows.

After his marriage with Zhenzhu was hopeless, Wang had been looking for a marriage partner for him for more than a year. However, regardless of whether Han's family was noble or not, who would be interested in such an uneducated and unlearned playboy? Therefore, Han Wenbing, now 17 years old, still did not decide on a marriage after looking for countless people.

I really don't know what's wrong with Wang that she would find it on her head. Damn it, Hua Lei cursed in her heart, is there a conflict between her and the Han family? When she was in the girls' school, Han Qingge and she didn't get along well. The first lady of the Marquis' Mansion also looked down on her. A few years ago, she had some unpleasantness with Lin from the first room of the Han Mansion, although the other party was deliberately looking for trouble.

Now it's even worse. The second wife of the Han family has taken a fancy to me. My ancestral grave is smoking. MLGB, Hualei is really angry. I feel like I'm being stared at by a wolf. It's creepy and makes me even angrier.

She raised her hand to stop Mrs. Qian from chattering and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mrs. Qian. But I have just finished my mourning period and I don't want to talk about marriage yet. Please go back, Mrs. Qian."

Before Mrs. Qian could say anything, the guard behind Hua Lei stood up. Mrs. Qian was shocked when she saw him. She had only come here to arrange a marriage for someone else. Was it necessary for the guard to look at her with such a frown?

Looking at the guard again, although she was a woman, with her size, even if she couldn't kill the tiger, she would definitely be able to cripple herself. So, Mrs. Qian swallowed the words in her mouth, left in a hurry, and went back to report to the second house of the Han Mansion.

Hua Lei sat in her seat, still not feeling well, feeling a tightness in her chest. She didn't know if this was the idea of ​​the second branch of the Han Mansion, or if Mrs. Han from the Marquis Mansion was also involved. It was said that the incident that Lin had caused in the Flower Fairy Shop a few years ago had also reached Mrs. Han's ears.

Although Madam Han did not agree with Lin's approach, Hua Lei's direct refusal and Madam Pei's protection still made her lose face in front of her family, so she was also dissatisfied with Hua Lei. It's just a dozen taels of silver, is it worth it?

I haven't seen you give me a penny while I'm staying at the Marquis' Mansion. It's not a big deal to take a dozen taels less now. You really don't know how to look at things. So although Madam Han didn't make things difficult for Hua Lei, it was true that she was even colder to him.

I just don't know whether she was involved in the affairs of the second branch of the Han family this time. But this time, no matter whether she was involved or not, Hua Lei would not give in. If she had to marry a playboy like Han Wenbing, and become a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with Wang, who said one thing in front of her and another behind her back, Hua Lei would rather not marry for the rest of her life.

But should I tell Old Madam Pei about this? Hua Lei hesitated. Alas, it is true that those who do not think ahead will have immediate worries. After thinking for a long time, Hua Lei decided to conceal the matter and did not mention it in front of Old Madam Pei.

A few days later, it was the Imperial College's holiday, and Hualei took Xiaoyuan back to Qingyun Lane. When she came back the next day, she unexpectedly heard Zhenzhu say that Han Wenbing was beaten by hooligans, and the beating was very serious. His left leg was broken and he would be unable to get out of bed for three months. His face was also disfigured, and it was very likely that there would be scars.

Beaten by a gangster? And unable to get out of bed for three months? This is really good news. Hualei couldn't help but cheer in her heart. The anger that had been pent up in her chest also dissipated unconsciously.

Inside the Mingxiang Pavilion, Bai Yunhe was sitting in a private room drinking tea when his guards walked in with a hesitant look on their faces.

"Is the matter done?" Bai Yunhe asked.

"No, sir." The guard's voice was very low.

"No? Why?" Bai Yunhe's voice couldn't help but rise a few notches.

"Young Master, when we went over there, before we could take action, we saw the kid from the Han family being beaten by a group of thugs. He was beaten very badly, with a bruised face and a broken left leg. He will probably have to lie in bed for several months before he can get out of bed. If my subordinates had continued to fight, someone would probably have died, so I didn't take action." The guard explained.

"Been beaten? Who else did this kid provoke? And was he beaten so severely? He couldn't get out of bed for three months." Bai Yunhe said in surprise.

The guard lowered his head and said uncertainly, "I don't know, but I saw these hooligans go to see a man after the fight, and that man gave them ten taels of silver."

"Who?"

"Master Pei from Dingbei Marquis's Mansion."

"Pei Rongjin?" Bai Yunhe's voice rose a few degrees.

The guard nodded.

"How is it possible? Isn't Han Wenbing his cousin? Why would he hit Han Wenbing? Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?" Bai Yunhe asked.

"You're right. I saw Master Pei's face."

"Haha, this is really interesting. This Pei Rongjin, I really can't tell, is actually a scheming person. And he acted so quickly and so cruelly. He made him unable to get out of bed for three months. Isn't he afraid of his mother finding out? I heard that his mother is very protective of her natal family, the Han Mansion."

After a pause, he said, "Since the kid from the Han family has been beaten up this time, let's let him go this time. If he dares to have any improper thoughts again, break his right leg next time." Bai Yunhe picked up the teacup, and the guards quietly retreated.

In the Mansion of Marquis Dingbei, inside Songhe Hall.

With a bang, Madam Pei put down the teacup in her hand and said angrily, "What did you say? Wang Shi found a matchmaker to go to Baihua Manor to find Lei'er to propose marriage? Yesterday, the kid from the Han family had his leg broken by hooligans?"

"Yes, madam. The matchmaker went there early this month, but I heard that she was driven out by Miss Hua's guards. Young Master Han's leg was broken, and the doctor said it was quite serious. He needs to lie in bed and rest, and cannot get out of bed." Nanny Chen said.

"You deserve it. You got beaten up. A toad wants to eat swan meat." Madam Pei said angrily. After a pause, she asked, "Were you really beaten up by hooligans?"

"That... I don't know, it should be so." Nanny Chen also felt something was a little strange.

"Are there any rumors out there that are unfavorable to Lei'er?" Old Madam Pei asked again.

"No. There seems to be no sound at all."
