Normally, Su Yueling would have been very upset if Yuan Suijun ran away not long after serving her.
But this time, she could barely accept it.
Yuan Suijun was obviously shy. He might not even know it, but his ears were so red that they could bleed. Coupled with the calmness he pretended to be, this contrast was much more pleasing to the eye than his usual appearance.
A little more cute.
If you are bored next time, just tease him again.
Suddenly discovering the new world, Su Yueling became a little excited to try it. The corners of her mouth could not help but curl up, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were filled with joy. Because she was interrupted by this incident, she no longer suffered from motion sickness as before during the whole trip back, which was also an unexpected blessing.
Already.
It's not that far from the county seat to my home, and I arrived very quickly.
Su Yueling rested all the way and was pressed on her feet again. She was resurrected with full blood and could walk on her own again without the need for Yuan Suijun to hold her.
Yuan Suijun also breathed a sigh of relief. The warm fragrance of soft jade in his arms can easily make people distracted. He and Su Yueling should not cross the line too much. He should treat Su Yueling as his sister and should not have other thoughts about her.
That was blasphemy against her. Especially since Su Yueling was simple and had contempt for the secular world, that's why he didn't pay attention to those etiquette. If he took advantage of this, then he and other hypocrites would be in trouble.
What's the difference?
When Su Yueling returned home, she told Yuan Baoshu what happened at the county government office with a high expression on her face. She was very eloquent and told the story in an ups and downs. Yuan Baoshu and the other servants were fascinated by what they heard and felt their hearts following.
Ups and downs with progress.
When they heard that most of the people brought by Wu Xiuping were imprisoned, they couldn't help but look happy.
Yuan Baoshu couldn't help but hold Wu Shu's hand and said, "Sister Ashu is finally out of the sea of suffering."
This matter has caused such a big fuss, and now everyone knows that Wu Shu is from their family, the Wu family should not dare to take any chances with Wu Shu in the short term.
Wu Shu bent his knees and saluted, "This is all thanks to the help of Madam and Master."
If it were any other family, there would be no way they would go against the Wu family for her. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and the name of the Wu family can still scare people.
Wu Shu felt that the only good thing her father had ever done was to let her come to the Yuan family.
Wu Xiuping suffered such a big loss this time, and the competitors of the Wu family in the state capital will definitely not let go of this reason. The troubles in the past few months have been caused by direct descendants of the Wu family, and I am afraid that the other families have already
He was holding back his opinions. If he provoked further, the Wu family would be in civil strife if the whole family was not kept intact.
Wu Shu felt that she would see their retribution soon.
**
Wu Shu's past was completely exposed, which actually made her reputation in the village even better. The villagers naturally sided with Su Yueling. Wu Shu was unwilling to join in the troubles with her family, unwilling to be a concubine, and would rather give up her identity as a rich lady.
This is a kind of integrity in their eyes.
The only one who held different views from them was the Zhang family. Zhang Chengwang was very disgusted with Wu Shu's betrayal of blood relatives. He felt that she and Liniang were somewhat similar in temperament, but they did not have the virtues of Liniang.
My mother was an extremely filial woman, and it was precisely because of this filial piety that she was unable to resist her parents and was forced to separate from him. This was not her fault, but the fault of his former father-in-law and mother-in-law who were greedy for glory and wealth.
wrong.
Although he despised Wu Shu to the extreme in his heart, because the villagers praised Wu Shu so much, Zhang Chengwang, who had a bad reputation in the village, naturally would not go against them, which would only make his reputation worse and worse.
It makes no sense for him to be from a different world than those vulgar farmers who don't understand etiquette, justice and shame. It is more important for him to prepare well for this year's provincial examination than anything else.
Lushan Village is a small village that slowly formed after the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty. Some homeless villagers gathered in this wasteland. It was only established for more than two hundred years, and there has never been a Juren until now. If he this year
If he can become a Juren earlier than Yuan Suijun, those who despised him before will definitely change their minds. As for Yuan Suijun, although he was talented in the past, he has been weak in recent years and has been busy recuperating. Now
She is also addicted to beauty, and even got involved in worldly affairs for Su Yueling. She is afraid that she will fail the provincial examination this year.
So he can no longer focus on fearless verbal battles.
He picked up the book and continued reading with his head shaking.
…
The county magistrate said that day that he wanted to thoroughly investigate the malfeasance of the Yamen officials. He was not just talking about it, but he used his contacts to investigate.
Song Shao, a young official whose family had just bought a house, immediately became the biggest suspect.
Song Shao was unable to explain the source of the money, so he was thrown into prison by the county magistrate. After being whipped, he could not bear the pain and confessed to the Wu family.
Bribing officials and destroying documents, Wu Xiuping was imprisoned before he could leave Guangning County.
Even if he wanted to put the blame on his servants, the county magistrate was not a fool and would not accept this at all.
News of Wu Xiuping's arrest soon spread to the Wu family in the state capital.
When Mrs. Wu heard the news of her son's arrest, her vision went dark. If her roommate hadn't been able to support her quickly, she would have been carried directly to the ground. Her whole body was weak, and she didn't have the calmness that a matron should have.
"Shuhei, my Shuhei, go and bring him back."
"Did the county magistrate take the courage of a bear and a leopard? How dare he throw my son into a prison. In a place like a prison, Xiuping will have to suffer a lot." She was so anxious that tears kept falling, and her heart ached beyond measure. She thought
Her son's misfortune was caused by Wu Shu, Yun Niang's biological daughter, and she hated her even more.
"If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have been merciful. When she was born, I should have strangled her to death and sent her to reunite with her mother's bitchy hooves in the underworld."
Yun Niang's difficult childbirth was partly her fault, and several midwives were bribed by her. Because Wu Shilin was very interested in Yun Niang at that time, she was worried that after giving birth to the child, Yun Niang would accept her fate and start fighting for favor, threatening her
status.
"Take our family's post and ask the county magistrate to release him!"
Seeing her shouting hoarsely, the roommate felt very distressed and said, "Madam, the county magistrate will not blame our family."
As early as when the magistrate of Guangning County sentenced Wu Xiuming to prison, it was tantamount to estrangement from the Wu family. The Wu family's behavior this time can be said to challenge his majesty, and he will only sentence him more severely to scare the monkeys.
Mrs. Wu was flustered, "I wrote to my brother and let him make the decision."
Her husband fell down, and her most valued eldest son was thrown into the big picture again. The other two sons were too young and inexperienced, so Mrs. Wu could only place her hope in her natal family.
The roommate didn't say anything. She actually had no hope for this. When the uncle came over, the day lilies were already cold, and she was afraid that the eldest young master would really have to work hand in hand with the third young master this time.
When Mrs. Wu was urgently ill and sought medical treatment, Wu Xiuping's story quickly spread in the state capital.
