Ji Huan had originally planned to go to Cao Family Village with Widow Xie, but Widow Xie refused no matter what.
Ji Huan hadn't even been there for the big scene in town today, yet Granny Cao and Mrs. Wang were still trying to pin the blame on her.
If Ji Huan went to Cao Family Village now to stand up for the Hu Family, it would be even harder for her to clear her name.
Ji Huan thought about it and didn't insist.
She went into the inner room, wrote at the desk for a while, then came out with two sheets of paper. She handed them to Widow Xie and whispered some instructions in her ear.
Widow Xie tucked the papers away safely and left without a moment's rest.
As dusk fell, the Hu Family returned, including a bruised and swollen Hu Liang.
It looked like he had suffered quite a bit of retaliation during his half-day at the Cao residence.
Ji Huan paid him no mind and first asked Widow Xie if she had gotten the marriage contract back.
