The Legend of the Guardians of the East Gate
Ch. 112 - Guarantee of Debt.

Hua Mulan got a seat on the left side of the stone stage adjacent to Li Zhen Chan and his mother, and Zhi Yuan stood behind her, occasionally the woman squeezed the fingers of Zhi Yuan behind her clandestinely.

"Don't always look at me madam, a woman who was so arrogant taught me to hold my head even though our honor was raped," said Zhi Yuan who was like talking to himself as his face looked straight ahead.

"hahaha, I can't believe I've ever spoken such scary talk to you, it's really not me" Hua Mulan laughed, it seemed that some people in the place were rumbling at the beautiful laughter from the woman, the men were in disbelief if Hua Mulan looked very different, she said, and become a woman who looks so graceful at the same time exciting. The cheers of the men made the woman close her lips with her fingers, but again the cheers sounded firmer.

Not far from the stone stage was a two-story restaurant standing, and Counselor Ming was already sitting while enjoying a dish that was completely untouched by his tongue, the woman raised her eyebrows slightly as she looked at the person behind Hua Mulan.

"A lost Munzhi Clan, finally, if it really was him, what was the young man's relationship with the Jade Palace's ruler?" muttered the woman.

The woman's head was tilting more and more, her eyes lit up like embers and more closely observing the sacred symbol at the corner of Zhi Yuan's cheek, though so small yet her eyes were able to recognize the symbol.

"Tell my brother the old sucker, I've found it, and will kill him if he doesn't see me right now," the woman said and suddenly black steam appeared and someone was kneeling near her, in dark clothes that only showed her eyes.

"Okay Madam," said the young man and turned into black steam again.

There was no showing of the incident because each table was blocked by bamboo curtains, so between visitors could not see each other clearly.

The officials of the justice bureau still seemed so busy preparing for the trial that a high-ranking noble named Huang Jong who was on the right side of the stage, approached the table where Hua Mulan was sitting.

"Sister Hua, you really look different, I'm starting to believe people say if age 40 still looks beautiful then that person will be beautiful during her, she said, and at your current age you look so fresh, if you knew you could be this beautiful I would probably lend you even more money, ahahaha...." said Huang Jong shaking his head in disbelief at Hua Mulan's appearance.

"Sister Huang we have been friends for a long time, please take care of your attitude, this is an official place," Hua Mulan said calmly, her hands always turning the ring on her left index finger.

Li Zhen Chan approached Hua Mulan,

"Calm little sister Hua, this time I will do anything so that you are not in trouble, about that time all just misunderstand me, I do not expect if Liu Bing Yan does everything, he and song yu have left with a lot of treasure, I am so blind, if possible give me a chance for our son" Li Zhen Chan said.

Hua Mulan only shook her head with a cynical smile, yet still looked calm, disregarding Li Zhen Chan's remark, trying to hold back as they were in the official event.

"Silent all of you.., I am Senior Judge Xiao Feng of the justice bureau, the high noble Li Zhen Chan has currently owed the noble lord Huang Jong 150 thousand gold coins, and guarantee this residence, 2 inns and 1 restaurant, and also including his oldest wife, Lady Hua Mulan, and if in 10 days Mr. Li Zhen Chan is unable to pay all his debts, then all the collateral will belong to Mr. Huang Jong, and from today the Li family residence can be occupied by Mr Huang Jong and also Mrs Li will be in the hands of Mr Huang Jong" the judicial bureau official shouted.

Hua Mulan, who could not stand the humiliation, stood up because she did not believe in being made a guarantee and would be able to buy.

"Wait on! you've gone too far, I'm not their family anymore, and this is none of my business anymore" cried Hua Mulan who did not believe if she was dragged into debt from her ex-husband, who was not involved, because in the letter just ask to come to be a witness.

The senior judge from the Bureau of Justice stood up, despite looking so old, yet his face looked so ruthless with a large mustache made everyone intimidated.

"I'm sorry ma'am, but when this debt agreement was made you were still the wife of Mr. Li Zhen Chan, and there was also no evidence to our bureau that you were separated, if I let you go this time then everyone will use the same excuse when something like this happens" the official said.

Hua Mulan closed her eyes, as her negligence reported their separation making her by rule still Li Zhen Chan's legal wife.

"Hua's sister is staying, in 10 days I will definitely get the loan" said Li Zhen Chan.

Hua Mulan shook her head, her eyes closed deeply in her fingers just rolling the ring on her index finger, and suddenly the woman opened her eyes staring deeply into Li Zhen Chan's eyes.

"Plakkk.." a loud slap on Li Zhen Chan's face.

The mother of Li Zhen Chan looked so angry seeing her dearest son being slapped by his wife, the old woman slightly ran up to Hua Mulan.

"You unlucky woman, daring in public to slap your own husband, if only you hadn't become our daughter-in-law this wouldn't have happened"

The old woman's words were cut off by Hua Mulan's voice.

"Quite Mistress.I'm sick of hearing your defense of this son you're so proud of, if only this man was really my husband he wouldn't have sold his wife, he said, even for whatever reason" Hua Mulan said.

The savage official brokered the quarrel, the,

"Alright.. had enough of his quarrels, like this the way the rules apply in this Empire, so all parties must obey him, he said, for the time being, all assurances will be gathered into one in the hands of the noble lord Huang Jong" shouted judge Xiao Feng.
