After spending her last night in prison, when Chu Nanzhi woke up the next day, Zhu Youan had already led several jailers to greet her, and personally packed her package.
Chu Nanzhi adjusted her makeup a little, and as the group walked out of the prison door and saw the sun again, she raised her head to breathe in the fresh air and feel the warm morning sunshine. Her whole body immediately felt much refreshed.
"Ms. Chu."
Before she could recover from this comfort, Chu Nanzhi heard Sun Wucai's voice coming from a distance.
Hearing the news, he went to see Sun Wucai leading two government servants and striding over.
When he came to her, Sun Wucai took the package from the Yamen servant and handed it to her, and said: "Last night, the official Han Zhang committed suicide in his mansion. The county magistrate dealt with the matter overnight. Not long after he took a rest, he specially ordered the old man to prepare the package.
Fifty taels of silver were sent over."
"suicide?"
Chu Nanzhi held the money bag and could not help but frown.
Sun Wucai nodded casually: "It must be that he was afraid of being punished, so he took his own life as soon as the government officials entered the government. The county magistrate was worried that this guy had a major relationship with the tax bank case, so he took him there himself.
Check."
"Did you find out anything?"
Seeing his indifferent attitude, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but ask one more question.
Sun Wucai shook his head blankly: "We have to wait until the property is confiscated before we can make a decision. I have to rush over immediately. I can't escort Madam Chu home in person. Please bear with me."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be so polite. The women can just go back by themselves."
Chu Nanzhi didn't expect Hu Maoxi to be so considerate, and he quickly signaled with fear: "Your Majesty, please go quickly."
"Mrs. Chu is a noble person in our county government. How dare you neglect her?"
Sun Wucai said, pointing behind him eagerly: "The old man has hired the carriage for Madam Chu. Please get in the carriage quickly. Everyone in the family knows that Madam Chu will be released from prison today, so they are all waiting at home eagerly."
"Then I'd like to thank the county magistrate."
Chu Nanzhi no longer treated him politely, put away her money bag, saluted and said goodbye to everyone, then hurriedly boarded the carriage.
Although the carriage did not belong to the county government, the driver was still the same horseman from before, so there was no need for Chu Nanzhi to give directions. The old man, who was familiar with the carriage, drove towards Tong'an Village and arrived in front of the Chu Family Courtyard in less than half an hour.
As soon as Chu Nanzhi got off the carriage, she was shocked by the scene in front of her: Liu Yun and Chu Wenbi's family were already guarding the entrance of the courtyard.
Seeing her figure, the quadruplets rushed up first, calling to her as they ran: "Aniang."
When she arrived, Sibaolin Ruijia hugged her thigh and cried loudly with joy and grievance.
The second treasure and the third treasure also burst into tears when they saw this, while the big treasure looked up at her blankly, but the joy hidden in his eyes was all over his face.
Chu Nanzhi knelt down, caressed the little ones one by one, and comforted them with a warm voice: "Don't cry, do you think I'm back safe and sound? I've made a lot of money these days."
.”
After saying that, he took out the money bag and showed it to the quadruplets. The little ones stopped crying immediately when they saw the white money. The second and third treasures couldn't help but praise: "Mom, you are so awesome."
Liu Yun and his wife and the Chu sisters looked at her in confusion, looking at her in astonishment, and sighed: "You can make money even if you go to jail?"
"It's just the county magistrate's love. He felt that I had been wronged this time and gave me some money to comfort my heart."
Chu Nanzhi answered very briefly and did not mention the fact that she was almost killed in prison.
Liu Shuyang raised his eyebrows with joy when he heard this, and said with a smile: "If you can make money this way, then I will go to jail every day from now on."
Hearing this, Chu Nanzhu angrily retorted: "Huh, just for you, you will starve to death in prison and no one will pay attention to you."
"Okay, don't bury him. Liu Shuyang is no better than before these days, so just be content."
Chu Nanxiang also rarely protected his son-in-law at this time.
Seeing their uncle who had settled down, the quadruplets all held Chu Nanzhi's hand and said to her happily: "Mom, during your absence these days, my uncle invited Carpenter Lao Wang to come to grandma's house.
Now, Carpenter Lao Wang is going to teach my uncle how to do carpentry."
"Really?"
Chu Nanzhi looked at Liu Shuyang in surprise. She really didn't expect that this boy could convince Old Carpenter Wang. It seemed that her expectations for him were not in vain.
It was the first time that Liu Shuyang felt such a strong sense of intimacy, and it was also the first time that he was recognized by so many people. He touched the back of his head and said with a shy smile: "It's all thanks to eldest sister. It's your novel idea.
Master and the old man agree very much."
"Oh, I've already become a disciple."
Chu Nanzhi's excited face was full of smiles: "Then you have to learn from Old Carpenter Wang. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can ask me. As long as I can help, I will give my best.
"
"Okay, sister, don't worry, I will definitely live up to your expectations."
Liu Shuyang's confident answer made the whole family happy.
Liu Yun burst into tears of joy. She wiped the corners of her eyes and looked at the quadruplets. She puffed out her cheeks and scolded in a dull voice: "Your uncles are all obedient now, but you little ones are the only ones who don't worry."
As she said this, she glanced at Chu Nanzhi again and said with a smile: "They have been making a lot of noise these past two days. They have been shouting about going to prison to see their mother all day long, which makes me so noisy.
Their heads are already big, but fortunately Dalang can barely hold them down."
After listening to Liu Yun's words, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but turn her gaze to Lin Jinxiao, who was leaning at the door.
This pretty boy was leaning against the door quietly, listening to the family's conversation. His quiet look always exuded a gentle and elegant temperament. Although there was not much expression change on his face, when his eyes met,
However, Chu Nanzhi clearly saw that his eyes were no longer as violent as before, and there was a hint of care and kindness in his eyes.
This made Chu Nanzhi panic.
She quickly retracted her attention and looked down at the little ones with lowered eyebrows. Thinking of them visiting her in prison, she immediately pretended to be serious and reprimanded: "If you don't listen to grandma and daddy in the future, my mother will...
I don’t like you anymore.”
Hearing this, the quadruplets frowned and kept silent to each other, not daring to speak any more.
The second treasure bit his little finger in fear, the fourth treasure blinked his little eyes blankly, the eldest treasure, and the third treasure looked at each other in confusion.
Seeing this, Chu Nanzhi quickly asked, "Have you all remembered what I said?"
Dabaolin Ruiwen was afraid of making her angry again, so he was the first to express his position: "Aniang, we will listen to grandma and dad in the future, so don't be unhappy."
Immediately afterwards, the other three little guys also agreed obediently.
Chu Nanzhi's face finally regained some joy, and she said with a relieved smile: "This is a good boy."
Chu Wenbi saw that his daughter had come back safe and sound, and the anxiety in his heart that had nowhere to rest was finally relieved. Seeing her tired appearance, he felt very distressed and said to Sister Chu Nanzhu: "Azhu, Axiang
, please take your eldest sister to wash up and change into clean clothes. If you have anything to say, wait until after dinner."
"good."
The two sisters came over happily and pulled Chu Nanzhi towards the house.
