Liu Xiucai's wife and Wang Qiaoshou naturally trotted towards Wanji.

Qian'er followed Liu Wan and trotted briskly.

Seeing that Wanji is right in front of you.

Liu Wan suddenly stopped his steps, "Why do you want to go where she is? Look at the stinky woman's face again? Hmph, I'm not so unproductive! Go, let's go home!"

Qian'er naturally wanted to see the dumb aunt, the little grandmother had just been released from prison, and she had a lot to say to her, but since the young master didn't allow her to go, she listened to the young master, and followed Liu Wan home with grievances.

But as soon as she arrived at the gate of Liufu, Qian'er was surrounded by the daughters-in-law and girls who had been waiting for a long time.

It turned out that the Lingzhou Mansion retried the case today, and everyone in this family was worried about the outcome of the trial.

Liu Wan threw off his steps and went straight to the study and reported the situation to his father.

Asa'er was surrounded by a crowd of chattering people.

"What's going on?"

"Why don't you see Grandma come back?"

"Dumb aunt, will she be beheaded?"

"Our ninth aunt is too eager to see her for the last time!"

"Our sixth aunt has been vomiting a lot lately, and I want to wait for her to come and take a look, is it the wrong medicine she prescribed?"

……

Qian'er took a breath, waved her hands and shouted: "Don't worry, don't worry, everyone, our little grandma is fine, the case is closed, it was the man who withdrew the lawsuit - now the little grandma has replied to Wanji-"

"It's okay? It's out? Okay. It's okay!"

"So she's out of prison—"

"No need to go through lawsuits—"

"Why don't you come home and go to Wanji instead?"

"Our ninth aunt can't see it anymore—"

Another round of gossip.

In the study, Liu Wan had already told Liu Dingmao about the general process.

Liu Dingmao stood up and paced a few steps, "The plaintiff withdrew the lawsuit, as expected, we spent five hundred taels of silver, and the silver of the white flowers was in front of us. Is it just that this Lord Li Mingyuan - he just closed the case so simply? This is something I didn't expect...... Originally, I thought that at least it would be the result of continuing to be imprisoned and retried at a later date - after all, this case was known to everyone in Lingzhou Mansion, so it was hastily concluded, and it was indeed a bit hasty, and I know best who Li Mingyuan is, but I don't have the money here, and he will definitely not let people go casually-" Shen groaned: "Could it be, what kind of trick does he have to play?"

Where did Liu Wan have the heart to think so much like his father, after all, he was a child, and hurriedly interjected: "It is said that Master Li let the dumb aunt out so easily, firstly, the plaintiff withdrew the lawsuit, and without the plaintiff's bitter master, what is the reason for the case to be entangled again! Besides, everyone knows the facts of the case, we really didn't mean to harm people's lives-second, the dumb aunt cured Li Mingyuan's youngest son, this little son was born to the little lady, and Master Li favored it very much, so for the sake of the dumb aunt's meritorious service in saving people, she should also be let go." ”

Liu Dingmao nodded, in fact, he had thought of these a long time ago, but he was still a little uneasy, "I still think it is easier for her to come out - you said, when I was locked up in the front, I tried my best, then Li Mingyuan was selfless, we spent the thousand taels of silver, and we only allowed you to go in and visit the prison once, and then we couldn't continue to send the silver, so he was even more unsympathetic, I opened up this old face and pleaded for mercy many times It was useless - this time I suddenly released people, and you said that you also sent it back in a sedan chair, which ...... I still think something is wrong...... Could it be that he let our Liu family go so easily? You must know that when he was collecting donations last winter, he extorted me many times, and I couldn't hand over the money properly, and finally said that I couldn't get sick, and he hated me to death—this time I finally got a handle—"

Liu Wan was not as pessimistic as his father, he frowned like an adult, "It's not easy for people to catch us? Isn't the Bai family's uncle-in-law locked up in prison now! So even if the stinky woman is released, won't he still hold our necks in the back?"

Liu Dingmao gasped and raised his eyes to look at his son, who saw that Liu Wan's feet and neck were cold, and he didn't know what he was wrong.

Liu Dingmao showed a pleased smile on his face, "When you grow up, you can think about the problem so thoroughly, it seems that you are really not a child." ”

Liu Wanmeng was not praised, but he was embarrassed, and stammered with a red face: "This, that...... I'm just talking about it, where do I understand these officialdom calculations - it's just that I was anxious these days when the stinky woman was arrested, and the aunt of the Bai family was crying in my ears every day, so I couldn't help but think about it a little more. ”

Before he finished speaking, there was a cry at the door, saying that Cao Cao Cao had really arrived, it was Bai Chen, supported by two concubines, crying and crying.

"I heard that your daughter-in-law has come out? She can come out, why hasn't my father-in-law come out? I said his uncle, you have to find a way for us to do this--now my Bai family is defeated, scattered, dead, and missing, I have no support, and I am left with the backer of the father-in-law, if he has another three long and two short, how can we, orphans and widows, live——"

Bai Chen slowly sat down while crying.

The two concubines around him also wiped their tears.

Liu Wan had seen this scene many times before, and it was almost every day during this time, so he had a big head when he saw Aunt Bai now.

He secretly looked at his father, and he didn't know if he was upset.

Liu Dingmao was determined, still kept calm, made a gesture of dissuasion, sat on the chair, and said: "Don't get angry, Wan's daughter-in-law has just been released - besides, her case is not the same thing as your family's case - she just made a mistake in midwifery, and now the plaintiff has withdrawn the lawsuit, so the case is closed." I've tried to inquire again and again, but who knows that those people in the yamen are so tight that they can't find out the inside story at all—so I'll have to wait and see——"

"When will it be—" Bai Chen cried mournfully, "he is weak, where has he suffered and suffered all these years—now that he is in that prison that does not see the light of day, who knows what life he has lived? Since your daughter-in-law can come out, it means that your face is still useful, so you can think of a way to send more silver in and buy someone for me—are you reluctant to spend silver?" said and took a white jade bracelet from his wrist, "Take this as a nephrite, I didn't sell it for three thousand taels in the past— ”

may feel that it is not enough, looking at the two concubines beside them, the concubines suddenly retreated, obviously they were unwilling to take out the little jewelry they had left on their bodies and sell them for money.

was so angry that Liu Wan secretly stuck out his tongue, and said in his heart that this aunt of the Bai family was so dignified and decent when she came, and she paid the most attention to etiquette and upbringing, but now that her husband is in prison, she doesn't care about anything, so she is no different from a shrew.

He couldn't stand the crying and fussing entanglement, and quietly slipped out the door and left.

Where to play? Footsteps to the gate, out of the gate and forward, when I woke up, the person was already standing at the door of Wanji.

It turned out that he was still thinking about that stinky woman.

The door of Wanji was lively, and the dumb aunt did not rest, but personally led people to be busy, dismantled the tent temporarily set up by Wang Qiaoshou, and opened the front and back doors widely, sprinkled and cleaned, sorted, and arranged the small delivery room for delivery, and all kinds of medicines were placed on their respective counters...... The dumb aunt loudly instructed Wang Qiaoshou: "Bring those booklets to me, and in the future, we will strictly enforce the contract - there are also maternity files, and each maternity must establish a file!"

Liu Wan stood and watched from afar for a while, and finally found a job for himself - he stepped forward and tore the fragments left by the seals of the government on both sides of the lintel, and muttered loudly: "This is too unlucky, it has to be cleaned up to be auspicious-can't be torn off, who will bring me some water to dip it in and tear it-"

I don't know when the dumb aunt quietly stood behind him, quietly watching him busy, listening to him muttering alone, "Stinky woman, crazy woman, you know how to deliver midwives and midwives, see a doctor and see a doctor - it seems that you have all the people in the world in mind, you just don't know how to hurt me, who worries the most when you are in prison, it's not me - hum, I can't eat or sleep, I beg the lord to save you every day, in order to save you, I almost broke my leg, you are good, the dog bites Lu Dongbin, I don't know my heart-"

The dumb aunt behind her sneered, and Liu Wan jumped away in fright, "Stinky woman, what are you doing, sneaky, you want to scare people to death?"

The dumb aunt didn't twist his ears or touch his face as usual, she reached out and grabbed his hand, and smiled: "Thank you—" Only four words were spoken, and there was no more to follow, and her throat choked up, and tears fell.

Where could Liu Wan stand this, he hurriedly pulled his hand back, and shouted: "You, don't cry, I didn't bully you—my manly husband doesn't care about little women—why are you crying?"

Everyone ran over when they heard the sound.

The dumb aunt touched a handful of tears and forced a smile, "It's nothing, let's tear these confetti, and the dust will fall into our eyes—just rub it—"

But the tears were rubbed more and more, and as if the floodgates were opened, she did not shed tears like this even in prison.

Liu Wan was dumbfounded, where did he see the stinky woman crying like this, the stinky woman has always been very powerful, always teaching him a lesson, if he really wants to cry so softly and weakly, he is at a loss.

"Anyway, it's out—it's good to come out peacefully—reputation or something, let's slowly come back and earn it, how many people in this world can't get out of the yamen prison again, if you want me to say, God still has long eyes, let our girls come out with all their beards and tails-" Wang Qiaoshou hurriedly came over to persuade.

Liu Wan was reminded, "Yes, yes, you see that the Bai family's uncle-in-law is still in prison, his life and death are unknown! and Aunt Jiu is about to die of illness!"

The dumb aunt was also reminded, and pulled up Liu Wan and ran, "Let's go and see!"

Behind him, Wang Qiaoshou and Liu Xiucai's wife watched a pair of men and women run away, and Liu Xiucai's wife shook her head: "This is crying and laughing, and running crazy on the street, where is there a little bit of the appearance of a big family lady - let people see the joke -"

Wang Qiaoshou disagreed, "I just think she has a good heart, do what she wants to do, what do you care about others doing so much?"

Liu Wan and the dumb aunt naturally couldn't hear the discussion behind them for a long time, so they rushed into the house in one breath and went straight to Aunt Jiu's courtyard.
