Hearing this familiar title, Chu Yunli was in a trance, all her strength was gone, and she did not resist for a while.
Qi Feng covered her and kissed her lips, "I finally found you again."
Chu Yunli came back to her senses and stared into his affectionate eyes, "Have you been looking for me for a long time?"
Qi Feng opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't make a sound, so he smiled helplessly, "Stop talking about this, let's eat first."
Before he could move, Chu Yunli had already restrained him with her backhand. Turning over again, the two of them reversed their positions. She snorted condescendingly, "You disturbed my sleep. Tell me how I will punish you?"
Qi Feng: "..." Are you so vindictive?
"I remembered last night, I've been watching you all morning. I just couldn't help it..."
Chu Yunli's heart suddenly softened as she was about to give him a good beating.
Yuan Lizong and Chu Yunli, mother and daughter, returned home together and found out that the matter had nothing to do with them. Yuan Yibin killed two people in a row. Although the circumstances were excusable, the law was strict and Qiu Hou was immediately sentenced to death.
It is said to be the end of autumn, but it is now the end of September, and there are only a few days left to live.
Chu Yunli was still thinking of sending him off in person on the day of his execution. The old lady from the Yuan family was seriously ill again and had been sleeping for two days. She only woke up occasionally and could only drink some soup. She was about to die.
.
Maybe before sending Yuan Yibin away, the old lady must be sent away first.
After not seeing her for ten days, the old lady on the bed looked haggard, with only a layer of skin left on the back of her hands. She was unconscious. At first glance, she thought she was a dead person.
Yuan Lizong was afraid that his mother would be gone, so he had been staying in front of the bed since he came back from prison. Now he just went out to catch up on his sleep, leaving Rong Piao to watch over her.
Apart from the mother and daughter, the only other person in the room was the old lady on the bed. Rong Piao looked at the old lady's face and suddenly asked, "Do you hate Yibin so much?"
"Yes!" Chu Yunli said calmly, "He lied to me!"
Rong Piao's tone was firm, "I've seen it a long time ago. But I don't understand why he would..."
Chu Yunli sneered, "Because I am your daughter. They wanted to take revenge on you. They married me and tortured them as much as they wanted. You will know what happened to Zhang Huizhen! Unfortunately, the mother and son probably did not expect that you would treat their daughter
The affection is so weak that even if you kill me, you won’t even frown."
Rong Piao didn't like to hear this, "I will take you with me when I remarry and make you the daughter of the Yuan family. If I don't take you and leave you in the Liu family or the Rong family, can you marry into the Qi family? I am right
Are you okay?"
Marrying into the Qi family has nothing to do with whose daughter Chu Yunli is. The father and son of the Qi family also came here in the previous life. Did Liu Yuehe get married?
"Are you good to me?" Chu Yunli asked back, "If I were killed by him, would you risk your life to avenge me like Gu?"
Rong Piao was speechless.
Chu Yunli knew the result without having to answer. Because after the death of Liu Yuehe in her previous life, Rong Piao was sad for two days, and still remained her Mrs. Yuan without any further investigation.
There was silence in the room.
After a while, Rong Piao whispered, "He is still trying to find a way to rescue Yi Bin, and he doesn't know it was your confession. If he knew, he wouldn't let you go."
Chu Yunli was surprised, "This is a sure thing, how can we save it?"
Rong Piao shook her head, "The Yuan family is rich, so it shouldn't be difficult to save Yuan Yibin's life."
Hearing this, Chu Yunli was a little surprised. Although there were many loopholes in the current laws, Yuan Yibin had both personal and material evidence, and he indeed killed two people... Zhang Huijing could infer that she was using it because she was not a woman.
Family law. The Gu family is different. She is just a relative of the Yuan family. Even if she poisoned the old lady and killed the Hu family, she should be judged by the Yamen.
Yuan Yibin took matters into his own hands to take revenge, even though he could not justify it.
If anyone can kill for revenge, what else should the Yamen do?
The Yamen has already been convicted. It is extremely difficult to reverse the case. For someone like Yuan Yibin, it is basically impossible. In this case, how can he survive?
Chu Yunli reacted quickly and replaced herself with Yuan Lizong. If she was the one who must save Yuan Yibin...
Thinking of this, she lowered her eyes to hide the emotion in her eyes.
Not long after, Qi Feng came to pick her up and take her home. Rong Piao looked at the handsome young man approaching in the yard. His cold face instantly broke into a smile when he saw his daughter. He was particularly friendly and couldn't help but say, "He treats you very well."
It’s quite sincere.”
Chu Yunli stood up, "The most important thing in life is to find someone who loves you. Doesn't mother know best?"
Watching the two of them leaving together, Rong Piao's eyes gradually showed some envy.
At the end of September, the last batch of death row inmates will be executed.
At almost noon, Chu Yunli arrived at the restaurant opposite the execution ground. She was sitting on the third floor. Qi Feng watched the death row prisoners below being escorted to the execution ground one by one and said, "Don't worry, everything has been arranged."
Chu Yunli nodded slightly. The condemned prisoner below was devouring his decapitated meal. Many people were watching, pointing at the person kneeling in the middle, "That is the eldest young master of the Yuan family..."
"With so much money, why bother killing people?"
"They just killed him without having time to cover it up, and our eldest master saw it with his keen eyes. If given time, the eldest young master of the Yuan family will still be the eldest young master..."
Some people on the side said sourly that the laws were only for the poor.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "He is not the eldest young master of the Yuan family at all!"
As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked.
There was a lot of discussion for a while. Originally, the condemned prisoner was unkempt and no one would take a closer look at his face. After hearing this, everyone crowded forward, and it was the same voice as before, "I have seen it with my own eyes. Young Master Yuan is much better-looking than him."
Already..."
Everyone was making noises, and those who had said the sarcastic words immediately shouted loudly, "Let me just say it. The law is for the poor. Even if these powerful people have committed a capital crime, they can just find a death row criminal to die in their place."
There was a lot of commotion down there, and the execution was naturally interrupted. When it was truly verified, it was discovered that this person was supposed to be the thief who was released from prison yesterday, and volunteered to replace Master Yuan in the execution. As for why...it was of course for money.
The young master of the Yuan family escaped from prison, but within an hour, the Yamen came to the Yuan family again and took away Yuan Lizong and his wife.
He also posted portraits of Yuan Yibin all over the streets and alleys. If he couldn't be caught within three days, he would send the portrait to the next state capital. If he couldn't be caught in ten days, he would report it to Kyoto, and then the portrait would be plastered all over the world.
.
Yuan Lizong and Rong Piao were arrested, and Chu Yunli also went to the Yamen.
The thief who died on behalf of the thief and his family were also brought to the Yamen. After interrogation, they all identified two stewards, Yuan Lizong and Rong Piao, who came to discuss the matter.
Yuan Lizong lowered his head, seemingly acquiescing. Rong Piao couldn't accept it, "I didn't! That steward was not ordered by me!"
The two stewards brought him over and said in unison that it was Rong Piao and Yuan Lizong who had discussed together to find someone to take the punishment on the young master's behalf, and then ordered them to go to the thief's home with the banknote.
Rong Piao almost fainted, but she knew that it would be over if she fainted. She pinched her thighs and finally regained consciousness. Looking at the superior, she defended herself, "My lord, I really didn't. I can swear to God."
. It’s all you can imagine. I have a son, and Yuan Yibin is the eldest son. If he is not here, my son will be the only legitimate son of the Yuan family, and all the family wealth will belong to my son. Why would I want to save him? "
Hearing this, Yuan Lizong raised his head and reached out to hold her hand, "Madam, neither of us thought that the matter would be exposed at the beginning. Don't worry, no matter what the charge, I will be with you!"
Rong Piao's eyes widened, "...is it you?"
Although it was a question, she was already sure in her heart, "Why are you doing this? Didn't you say that the person who loves me the most is you? Why do you want to harm me?"
Yuan Lizong's eyes were full of affection, "Madam, I love you and want to be with you for a long time. Don't you want to do the same? Otherwise, why would you send a steward?"
Rong Piao: "..."
She was speechless and asked, "You said you would take good care of me!"
Yuan Lizong said meaningfully, "Husband and wife should share joys and sorrows, right?"
He arranged the matter after he learned that the scapegoat was exposed. If he was to go to jail, he would have to ask her to accompany him.
Chu Yunli stood aside and watched from beginning to end, never expecting that things would develop like this.
Yuan Lizong, the steward who sent the money, and the thief's family testified together, and Rong Piao could not defend himself. The two of them boldly found someone to die in order to rescue the condemned criminal. Previously, Yuan Lizong had shielded the prisoner, and according to the law, he should be punished with the same crime as the condemned criminal.
, finally, the two were sentenced to exile in the desert.
On the day they left, Chu Yunli went to the city gate to see them off. Rong Piao looked extremely ugly. When he saw his daughter, he felt like he was seeing a savior. "Yue He, please help me. I really don't want to save Yuan Yibin..."
"There are all the witnesses and physical evidence, but she can't help you." Yuan Lizong stood aside lazily, "Liu Yuehe, I know you are a smart person. I still have your handiwork to this day. But don't try to save your mother.
, she has been with me for many years, but now that I am in trouble, she wants to live a good life on her own, but there is no way! Even if I can get away with it, I will not let her leave me!" At the end, his tone was gloomy.
He urged Rong Piao, "Let's leave quickly. It's not good for us to keep Brother Cha waiting for a long time!"
Rong Piao didn't want to leave, but he couldn't help her. He only heard her cursing Yuan Lizong...
Chu Yunli shook her head. Originally, she was just here to see him off and didn't really want to save anyone.
Half a month later, someone reported that Yuan Yibin was found at a farmer's home in the suburbs. He had no place to go, so he could only retreat, and yet he was still found.
Because he had killed two people before, the people who saw him were frightened, fearing that he would go crazy and kill again. In addition, there was still ten taels of silver to collect from the reward, so they went to the Yamen to report the news without hesitation.
When the government official got the news, he quickly went to the suburbs and caught the man. The escape was extremely bad, so the crime was increased and he was executed immediately.
The head of the Yuan family was exiled and Yuan Yibin was beheaded. When the old lady woke up and learned of this, she vomited blood and died immediately because the blow was too severe.
After this incident in the Yuan family, the eldest son had only Yuan Yiquan, a half-year-old child, to support him. Naturally, he couldn't bear to take care of the family business. The other two masters of the Yuan family fought fiercely for the right to control the family. The Yuan family's property was seriously damaged, and they separated two years later.
It even divided the industrial land into pieces and reduced it to ordinary merchants.
Chu Yunli and Qi Feng returned to Liangzhou City after the old lady's funeral.
The only master left in the Qi Mansion is Father Qi. The second uncle who paid for the murder has already been imprisoned and will never be able to come out in this life.
The Qi family in Liangzhou City has been well-known as a good person for nearly a hundred years, especially Mr. Qi and his wife. They have a deep love for each other. Whenever there is a disaster, they donate money, medicine, and materials without seeking fame and fortune. In this world, there is no one to look for.
There are no more kind and generous people than them. Many years later, when the Qi family is mentioned, someone will praise the couple.
