Aunt Lin dusted herself off, feeling sad but with a hint of hope.
Finally, I have a home again. No matter what my uncle has become, he has finally returned home and to them.
If the uncle doesn't wake up for the rest of his life, she will serve him for the rest of his life.
As long as the family can be together, it is better than anything else.
As for the hateful and hateful Zhang family, she is very self-aware, and her greatest ability is to throw excrement and water in front of everyone. With so many people watching, Zhang Xutang did not dare to do anything to her, but more, she would
Can't do it anymore.
All this has to be done by the eldest lady.
"Old Tan, I'm going to pick them up and go home. You go buy the iron pot, the stove, and the kitchen knives and scissors. You go quickly, and I'll start the fire when I get back."
Tan Ran ran all the way, and Aunt Lin locked the door, put away the key, and went to Dr. Zu's house.
As soon as she arrived at Dr. Zu's door, she saw two servants in short brown clothes outside the door. When she entered the door and asked Yuanyuan, she realized that Magistrate Dou was here and talking to the eldest lady.
It was freezing and snowy outside, but the room was steaming with heat. There were several large pots of charcoal fire specially used to roast the herbs on the shelves.
Dou Qushan enjoyed the treatment of the herbal medicine. He was so hot that he was sweating. With a heavy face, he told the reason why he came.
He looked at Song Huiyue and spoke slowly: "What Mr. Zhang means is that peace is the most important thing. The Zhang family will compensate for your brother's loss, and will also compensate for the expenses of settling down."
Zhang Xuling did not disclose the specific amount, but if he wanted to settle the matter, it was a lot of money.
And Song Huiyue was lying on her back in the Grand Master's chair. The chair was wide and made her appear slender and petite. The room was indeed too hot. Her cheeks turned red due to the heat, and a slender scar on her face became conspicuous.
As soon as Dou Qushan showed up, Song Huiyue recognized him.
It was Junyiqiao who was there that day who kindly reminded them to rent a house at a housekeeping shop.
It was just that Dou Qushan was walking in a hurry, so Song Huiyue didn't take a closer look. When she saw him now, she saw that his face was always frowning, and there was sadness in his eyebrows, as if he had suffered a huge blow.
This blow took away his smiling face, leaving him unable to even smile a fake smile except sitting upright.
She smiled at Dou Qushan, but the smile was full of murderous intent, making Dou Qushan even more unable to laugh.
"Ms. Dou, kidnapping is punishable by death. What Mr. Zhang wants to buy is Zhang Xutang's life. What does a settlement fee mean?"
Dou Qushan nodded: "The life of the second master of the Zhang family is naturally very expensive. It's a pity that the crime of kidnapping is not easily punished. If it were easy..."
At this point, his voice suddenly became a broken gong, and he couldn't say many words.
He looked at the little girl Song Huiyue. When his daughter left home, she was only her age.
Just like a child.
Although she looked like a little girl, her expression was more mature. She was calm from beginning to end, without making any noise or crying.
Dou Qushan weighed his concerns and finally decided to give it a try.
"Mrs. Song," he cleared his throat, "I won't say more about Mr. Zhang. You can think about it yourself. I came today because I want to ask your help for something."
Song Huiyue said: "You say."
"I want to seek refuge with the King of Jin," Dou Qushan said very straightforwardly. "I originally wanted to submit my invitation, but now there are many people who want to see the prince, but the prince has rejected them all. I would like to ask you to create a bridge and let the prince see me."
On the one hand, it can also deceive others."
These words have been lingering in his heart since Zhang Xuling left.
"I thought you were a lobbyist for the Zhang family." Song Huiyue lowered her eyes and said.
Dou Qushan sneered at first, and then told Song Huiyue in a calm tone that he also had a smart and cute little daughter who was abducted by an ugly man named Wu Han. He went through all kinds of hardships to find her daughter back.
, in the end it was the Zhang family who put pressure on them and sentenced the two to get married. His daughter could not bear the humiliation and died by hanging from a beam with her unborn baby.
His wife almost died of grief. In the past few years, she got an adopted daughter from the charity house and got better.
He talked about this matter as if it were common gossip, but the calmer he became, the more he pondered it in his heart every day, thinking about it thousands of times, and every word was filled with blood.
"Afterwards, I carefully checked that boy named Wu. He was a chaotic fool. Before he abducted my daughter, he got to know Zhang Yanei. Then he became smart and knew how to avoid the eyes and ears of so many people in our family. He secretly kept my daughter secretly.
Take it away silently."
Song Huiyue nodded: "It's something Zhang Xutang knows how to do."
Dou Qushan tried his best to force a smile: "Look, the Zhang family still wants to use me."
Then he said in a deep voice: "But I can't let Zhixiu die in vain. I have to wait for the opportunity and be patient. Fortunately, I didn't endure it in vain. King Jin finally came to Beijing. No matter whether it succeeds or not, I will try."
After that, he took out the files from that year and spread them out in front of Song Huiyue.
He thought: "This kid should finally believe me."
The opened file was dark yellow and soft, with thin burrs on the edges. One glance showed that someone had opened it frequently. It recorded in detail the whole story of Dou Zhixiu's disappearance. However, it only recorded that the marriage was decided, and the two families had no objections, and then it came to an abrupt end.
It has all the government seals on it and is not a fake file.
Song Huiyue read it from beginning to end and finally closed the file.
Dou Qushan had already told everything and was waiting for Song Huiyue to speak.
Song Huiyue thought for a moment and then said: "You want to stand on the same boat with the prince. If I build the bridge and everyone in the city knows about it, your surrender will be meaningless. I have a way to make you peaceful."
Prince, please stand together."
Dou Qushan thought she was trying to avoid it at first, but after hearing what she said, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He felt that beneath the calm face of this little girl, there was a turbulent deep sea.
"any solution?"
"Do you know Zhu Guangli, the prefect of Tanzhou?"
Dou Qushan nodded: "It's like thunder piercing your ears."
The name of Magistrate Zhu rose with the fire in Tanzhou. What is even more surprising is that he has been in Tanzhou for many years. This time, he was arrested, demoted and punished in the tax and silver case. This Zhu Guangli actually turned out to be
Not affected in any way.
"Prefect Zhu has a master named Xing next to him, his surname is Ni Mingpeng. All you need to do is invite him to Kyoto and be a master by your side, and all the problems will be solved. It can be regarded as solving a problem for the prince."
Dou Qushan was wiser than Zhu Guangli, and he immediately understood that Ni Peng was a member of the King of Jin, and sooner or later he would leave Tanzhou and come to the capital.
It's just that Ni Peng still needs a legitimate opportunity to come to Kyoto.
Dou Qushan stood up immediately and thanked Song Huiyue. Before leaving, he thought of the Zhang family's words: "Madam, do you accept the Zhang family's intention?"
Song Huiyue said in a very light voice: "Then peace is the most important thing."
Dou Qushan didn't know why, but he always felt that Song Huiyue's saying that peace is the most important thing and the Zhang family were two different things.
He said goodbye and left. Yin Xiao walked in, lowered his hands and bowed: "Madam."
Song Huiyue rolled her dark eyes and looked at him.
Yinxiao said: "Aunt Lin is back, it's time to move."
