Chapter 762 The literati are noble

That night, everyone in the palace ate buns. Not to mention that the buns made by Xie Wenying were indeed delicious, Zijin ate five of them in a row.

"I'll buy her buns in the future. Well, they're really delicious!" Zijin said with satisfaction as she patted her bulging belly.

Jinyan handed her a bowl of soup, "Eat less, you're fat, it depends on how you get married."

"Are you not married yet? I'm not in a hurry!"

"What if I never get married in this life?"

"I'm not married either!"

The two children were playing in the yard, and Liu Yunxiang leaned on the recliner. Zi Jin reminded her after saying this. Jinyan was not young anymore and it was indeed time to find a good marriage for her.

In the last life, Jinyan never got married in her life in order to take care of her.

"Jinyan, do you have someone you like?" Liu Yunxiang asked.

Jinyan was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red, "Girl, I'm having fun with Zijin, you just pretend you didn't hear it."

Liu Yunxiang smiled: "You have been following me over the years and have never been in contact with anyone. I was negligent. Let's do this, I asked Aunt Zhang to help you find a photo. If you look at me, I will marry you in a grand manner."

Jinyan shook his head quickly, "I don't want it, I will follow the girl for the rest of my life!"

"That won't work. You have to get married, you have to be loved by your husband, and have a few children to enjoy the joy of family in your later years."

Jin Yan blushed and slapped Zi Jin, "You're all blamed for talking nonsense!"

Zi Jin said happily: "Miss is right, Sister Jinyan should get married!"

"I'll teach you to talk nonsense again!"

Jinyan wanted to twist Zijin's face, and Zijin ran away and Jinyan went after her. Seeing that they were chasing each other, the two children thought they were playing games, so they joined in. There was a constant laugh in the yard.

The next day, Xie Wenying went to beat the Dengwen drum. This drum may not be played once a year or two, so when the drum sounded, it immediately attracted many people to watch the fun.

Dengwengu was outside the palace gate, and the palace guards rushed out and took Xie Wenying into the palace.

He first beat the thirty boards, and then the emperor summoned her in person.

Liu Yunxiang was waiting for news at the mansion. The housekeeper first sent a letter. The person he arranged to receive Xie Wenying at the palace gate and had already sent her home. Then a letter came from Jingzhao Mansion, saying that the emperor ordered the retrial of Xie Wenqing's murder case and Feng suspended the execution of the death penalty.

Feng had already turned his confession and pointed it at Xue Hefeng, but her identification was not enough, and other evidence was needed. Jingzhao Mansion took over the investigation, but it was very difficult.

Liu Yunxiang breathed a little relieved. This alone was enough for Xue Hefeng to have a headache, and he would not have the energy to cause trouble for Yan Mu for the time being.

Yesterday, Liu Yunxiang gave Xie Wenying a silver note of 1,000 taels to Xie Wenying. In the afternoon, Liu Yunxiang thought about it and went to Xie Wenying's house.

Zijin went out early in the morning, so Liu Yunxiang brought Jinyan to Xie Wenying's house and got a lot of nourishing people.

The gate of Xie Wenying's house was closed. Jinyan stepped forward and knocked on the door. Soon the door opened from inside. The one who opened the door was Xie Wenying's son. The child was thin and tall, with clear eyes. He tilted his head and looked at them.

"Who are you looking for?"

"We know your mother is injured, so we're here to visit her." Jin Yan said.

The child frowned and hesitated to let them in.

"Chuan'er, let the guests come in."

This male voice was gentle but slightly angry.

The boy who asked Chuan'er to open the door and let Liu Yunxiang and the others go in.

When he entered the yard, the lame man walked forward and bowed, "Princess, I don't want you to come to visit your house in person, but the house is simple and you are laughing at me."

Liu Yunxiang shook her head, "How is the big girl?"

The man silently said, "Thirty-six boards, the flesh and blood are cracked. What else can I do except pain."

"But have a doctor?"

"I asked, she said it didn't hurt anymore, how could it be?"

The man said in a deep breath, "A thousand taels of silver, she felt it was worth it, so she could only endure the pain."

Liu Yunxiangmo, it seems that the man does not agree with this matter.

When I entered the house, it was indeed a bit simple, but fortunately it was clean. When I turned to the east house, Xie Wenying was lying on the earthen kang at this moment. When she saw Liu Yunxiang coming, she was about to get up, but the man pressed her back.

"You want the wound to crack and lie down."

"I'm fine."

"The blood has not dried up and the bones have not broken, it's not okay."

Seeing that his man was still angry, Xie Wenying didn't dare to speak, so she lay back obediently. When the man went to pour water, Liu Yunxiang dared to ask Xie Wenying how hurt she was.

"It's really okay. It's better to keep it for ten days and half a month. By the way, can the case be retried?"

"Can be retried."

"Then your thousand taels of silver will not be spent in vain."

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "It should be said that your beating is not in vain."

"That's not what I said. I took the money and I've already paid back the money."

Liu Yunxiang did not argue with Xie Wenying, so she asked Jinyan to put the ginseng and antlers brought on the table, "Grand girl, this is my little intention, you accept it."

Xie Wenying looked at it a few times and said, "These are all good things, and you can sell them for a lot of money if you take them out."

Liu Yunxiang was helpless, "This is for you to take care of yourself."

"I'm in good health, so I can't waste this."

Well, I gave it to her anyway, she will eat it or sell it, just be happy if she is happy.

After a few greetings, Liu Yunxiang came out with Jinyan. But as soon as she walked into the yard, the lame man stopped her.

"The princess will take this thousand taels back."

Liu Yunxiang looked at the silver notes in the man's hand and was a little surprised, "This is the reward for the eldest girl, she deserves it."

"It's not business to get thirty boards and exchange for one thousand taels of silver."

"But this..."

Before Liu Yunxiang could finish his speech, Xie Wenying's roar came from inside: "Li Feng, get the silver notes for me! You are a careless person, you want me to be beaten in vain! Take it back quickly, otherwise I will fight with you!"

Hearing this, Li Feng insisted on returning it to Liu Yunxiang.

Liu Yunxiang didn't dare to answer, so she pushed her back and then left quickly.

"Girl, I don't understand why the eldest lady's husband doesn't want this money, it looks like... like..."

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "It seems like she was insulted."

“Yes, that’s it.”

"The literati are noble and disdain to make money in this way."

"But his family obviously needs the money."

"So I think the older girl must have lived a hard life over the years. On the one hand, she has to work hard to make the whole family eat and wear well, and on the other hand, she has to take care of Li Feng's face."

At the yamen of the Ministry of Justice, the fourth prince Qin Shengrui came and said he would visit Yan Mu.

The official asked Yan Mu, and Yan Mu was willing to see him, so he let Qin Shengrui in. Before entering, he asked Qin Shengrui to remove his sword, and he did not allow his followers to enter.

"A bunch of dog things, is he a prisoner or is he a prisoner?"

This is the Ministry of Justice, and it is not his territory. Qin Shengrui cursed, but he took off his sword and went in.

In the room, Yan Mu was using dinner, with wine and meat, sitting on the large Taishi chair, not to mention how comfortable it was. When he saw him coming in, he looked like he was disregarding him.

Qin Shengrui was angry, but thinking that Yan Mu was now a prisoner, his anger disappeared a little.

He walked to Yan Mu and sat down opposite him.

"Old Seven, the fourth brother is worried about you and comes to see you. Tsk, one million taels of silver, you are too brave. Why not quickly explain to you, the fourth brother will help you go to your father's place to plead, at least you can save your life."
