Just as the two of them were packing their luggage, they saw Butler Lin coming.
Behind them were the slaves who originally belonged to their east cross courtyard.
There were more than twenty people, all with varying degrees of injuries on their bodies, but their eyes were filled with the hope of surviving the disaster.
When they saw the eldest lady Dong, they all knelt down.
"Slave, please thank Madam for saving your life!"
This scene made Mrs. Dong and Aunt Dong look at each other.
Just now I said I wanted to save people, how could it happen in such a blink of an eye?
So he looked at Butler Lin and asked curiously.
"Steward Lin, this is..."
"The prime minister ordered that if the big house was to be moved, it would be impossible without servants to serve them, so I specially showed mercy, pardoned them, and sent them back together."
Mrs. Dong was somewhat grateful in her heart, but this gratitude was limited to this moment.
Prime Minister Lin's indifference for many years is also one of the reasons why Dafang has been bullied to this day.
If only he, as a father, could keep a bowl of water straight from the beginning.
East Cross Courtyard and West Cross Courtyard would not have reached this stage.
After thinking for a while, he spoke calmly.
"I would like to ask Butler Lin to help me thank my father-in-law, and also about Aunt Dong..."
This is what Mrs. Dong is most concerned about now. If she cannot take Aunt Dong away, she will not leave today.
Then Butler Lin smiled lightly.
"Don't worry, Madam. The Prime Minister said that Aunt Dong accidentally injured the old slave just to protect the master. She committed a heinous crime and even killed the master. She is a person who deserves to die! Someone has been sent to send the news back to the Wang family.
After I went there, people from the Wang family also came back and said that these unruly slaves would be beaten to death even if they were sent back. So Aunt Dong has nothing to do here, and she will just follow the eldest lady from now on."
After hearing this, Madam Dong and Aunt Dong were grateful from the bottom of their hearts.
Especially Aunt Dong, she originally thought that her life would end this time.
She thought that after the eldest lady had settled down, she would go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to receive the punishment.
did not expect……
He still managed to leave alive!
He took a deep breath and then let it out in a long breath.
"Thank you very much, Prime Minister. Thank you, my servant."
Then facing the direction of Ronghetang, this time he knelt down and kowtowed several times sincerely.
Then he got up and took the servants who had returned to apply the medicine.
Butler Lin knew that they would not stay for much longer, so he asked one more question out of selfishness.
"Madam, is there a suitable place to live outside? Do you need my help in finding it?"
The eldest lady Dong knew his kindness, but she still declined politely.
"We have asked the eldest brother in the family to help with the search, and there will probably be news in the next few days. Now the third brother's condition is more troublesome, so in order to provide him with diagnosis and treatment at any time, we should go back to our parents' house to stay for a few days first."
"That's right, that's right. Everyone outside the Dong family praises the medical skills of the second uncle of the Dong family. With him here, the third brother will definitely be able to be in peace and turn the crisis around."
"I hope so."
"Then Madam, please be busy first. If you need anything, just send someone to summon the slave."
"Okay, Butler Lin, walk slowly!"
In the Dongkua Courtyard, the second lady of the Dong family went along to check their injuries.
Except for the three maids who had serious sprains and needed to rest for half a month, the others were all skin injuries.
Just apply medicine and it will be fine.
When they returned, they had already heard about the "separation of families", and they all looked happy.
The thought of being able to leave this disgusting place with Dafang made me very happy.
The action of packing my luggage was so neat.
About half an hour later, there were more than 40 boxes and cages placed in the open space in the middle of the yard.
It is filled with things that are used daily.
Although the tables, chairs and beds displayed in the house were all slowly replaced after Mrs. Dong married in.
After using it for many years, I'm used to it.
It’s just that it’s not easy to take them with me, so I can only give up.
Everything you can take away is easy to take.
Even so, it still feels like a lot of space has become available in each room.
If there weren't still people standing inside, it would have been full of depression.
The uncle of the Dong family arranged everything and came over with the carriage.
When he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he also brought a stretcher wrapped in quilts and several servants who looked very strong at first glance.
The process of moving Lin Muzhi needs to be done carefully.
The most important thing is that the position of the head can no longer be shaken.
The stretcher carried by these slaves was as stable as a rock, without any fluctuations.
Lin Muzhi lay on it and was not affected at all.
After leaving the East Crossing Courtyard, we went straight to the carriage.
The two horses tied in front of the carriage were both well-trained, and they slowly moved back towards the Dong family step by step.
Mrs. Dong accompanied her son to take the first step.
Uncle Lin directed the remaining luggage to be moved outside.
Everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion knew what happened, but Butler Lin strictly ordered that no one be allowed to approach or arrange the affairs of the East Cross Courtyard at will.
Therefore, they didn't cause much movement when they left.
Instead, when the last few carts of luggage were about to be moved, Butler Lin came again, accompanied by Shusui who was beside Wang.
Uncle Lin was extremely unhappy when he saw the visitor.
"What are you doing here?"
His expression was serious and guarded.
Shusui frowned. She actually didn't want to make this trip, but now besides her, who else in Xikua Courtyard could come?
So I could only bite the bullet and say it.
"My slave, Shusui, would like to pay my respects to the uncle. This slave is here to deliver something to the uncle on the order of the Prime Minister. Please accept it."
After saying this, he handed over the wooden box he was holding.
Uncle Lin glanced at Butler Lin and saw him nodding, then he patiently reached out and took it.
When I saw three hundred thousand taels of silver lying quietly inside, I couldn't help but be surprised.
"This is……"
"This is what the prime minister asked me to prepare for the separation of the family. Since the eldest uncle and his wife are moving out, there are many and complicated things outside, and there are places to spend money everywhere, so I ordered someone to send it here."
Uncle Lin looked at these flimsy banknotes and felt uneasy at all.
Although he didn't know exactly how much money had been looted from Ronghetang and Xikuoyuan.
But it’s definitely not just this number!
After thinking about it, he didn't refuse at all.
"This is what my eldest brother deserves. The rest should be regarded as past love and kindness."
After saying this, he raised his head and glanced in the direction of Ronghetang.
The father he was once most proud of lived there, but now the last bit of affection between father and son has completely disappeared.
I don’t know when we’ll see each other next time.
Thinking of his father's repeated reprimands and indifference to his wife and children over the years.
There is no longer any memory in my heart.
Said to Butler Lin.
"I won't say goodbye to my father. We will meet again in the future, so let's talk about other things."
