Chapter 55: Admitting Mistakes

Li Quansheng was sent to the yamen by the official, and the first thing he said when he saw Shen Ya was to shout injustice: "Lord Shen, I have been wronged!" ”

An Xiabai and Liu Shi hugged Liu Caiyue and followed behind, and said with a cold smile when they heard this: "Shopkeeper Li still has the face to shout grievances, you bullied the people and stopped my cousin in the house, but I saw it with my own eyes, could it be that I, my husband, and several other officials saw it as an illusion?" ”

"What the hell is going on?" Shen Ya asked, and an official sent him to report what had happened, and told him all the scenes he had seen after entering the restaurant.

Looking at Liu Caiyue, who was crying miserably and disheveled in An Xiabai's arms, and then looking at the embarrassed Liu on the ground, Shen Ya already believed a little in his heart: "What you say, is there any evidence?" ”

When Li Quansheng heard this, he thought that Shen Ya was favoring him, and said triumphantly: "Do you have any evidence?" ”

Hehe, when he found out that something was wrong, the vegetable side had already torn it up and let people take it and burn it, but Liu and Liu Caiyue were holding the silver taels they gave in their hands, at this time, he could completely slander Liu Caiyue!

Thinking in his heart, Li Quansheng cried and begged Shen Ya for mercy with a sad face: "Lord Shen, the villain is wronged, the villain did not commit any crimes, this Liu Caiyue was sent to me by her own mother Liu, saying that the family was poor and could not open the pot, and felt that I was young and promising, and the family was rich, so I sent my daughter to me. ”

Shen Ya pursed his lips and didn't speak, but only motioned to the official to check whether there was a silver ticket on Liu's body, and as soon as he found it, he asked Liu: "Where did you get this silver ticket?" ”

Liu didn't dare to speak, after all, if he said such a thing as stealing vegetables, he would definitely be guilty.

"Mother, you can confess to them." Liu Caiyue poked her head out of her arms, her tear-stained face was like pear blossoms with rain, and there were a few scars on her face that she didn't know how to get, making her look pitiful.

"But, but ....." Liu was still thinking about Yinliang, raised his eyes to meet his girl's gaze, and his heartbeat suddenly missed a beat.

An Xiabai saw that her thoughts were shaken, and hurriedly persuaded: "Sister-in-law, what is more important than the innocence of your girl, have you forgotten that cousin she is not married yet, if this matter cannot be resolved, she may never marry in the future." ”

"Isn't that it, a good girl's family will have a bad reputation if this kind of thing happens, and if it's voluntary, it's estimated that the rumors outside will be even more ugly."

The people on the periphery of the public hall talked a lot, and their words reached Liu's ears along the wind, and Liu finally changed his mind.

"Lord Shen, here's the thing." She explained to Shen Ya one by one in court about exchanging vegetables for money, and at the end she said that if you don't believe it, you can ask the scholar on the corner of the street to come over and prove it.

Shen Ya went to invite the scholar over to ask, and sure enough, his gaze at Li Quansheng was suddenly as sharp as a knife: "The most annoying thing in this official's life is to oppress the people, especially the indecent young and beautiful girl." ”

Li Quansheng's face was as white as a piece of paper, and he opened his mouth as if he wanted to refute Liu's words, but he couldn't refute them.

What she said was the truth.

So he could only bow his head and confess, and was punished by Shen Ya to be imprisoned for several years, and paid some silver taels to Liu's mother and daughter.

Li Quansheng was dissatisfied with the verdict: "Lord Shen, are you deliberately biased in favor of their mother and daughter?" They came to the door with fake recipes to cheat money, is there no crime at all? ”

Liu was afraid of this matter, she was afraid that Shen Ya would punish herself, so she quickly knelt on the ground.

"Cousin, we know it's wrong." Liu Caiyue raised her head again, looked at An Xiabai with tearful eyes, and tried to intercede for her mother, "Can you save my mother?" In the future, we will never do this kind of thing that hurts others and ourselves, please ask my cousin to bypass us this time, right? ”

An Xiabai has never been a soft-hearted person, frowned slightly, and said to Shen Ya: "Lord Shen, the recipe is not fake, nor is it stolen by my sister-in-law, but I gave it to her, and I also allowed her to take it out and sell it, as for the other half of the recipe, they wrote it based on their own life experience, and Shopkeeper Li himself is willing to buy it, who is to blame?" ”

Liu didn't expect An Xiabai to be willing to speak for himself, so he raised his head suddenly.

In the end, Shen Ya let Liu go, and dissolved the court under Li Quansheng's resentful gaze.

An Xibai helped Liu Caiyue, and Liu was helped up by Lu Li, her eyes wandered between Lu Li and An Xiabai, and she opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, only sighed and said no more.

"If it weren't for my cousin's face, I wouldn't want to save you." An Xia Bai said indifferently.

After this difficulty, Liu Shi seemed to have changed his personality, but instead of raising his voice to talk to An Xiabai, he lowered his face and said in a dull tone: "I know, all this is my fault. ”

They were taken to the hospital by the couple, and after some examination, they were confirmed that they were not injured before being sent back to their home.

"Mother, we really shouldn't...."Liu Caiyue threw herself into Liu's arms and sobbed in pain, and Liu nodded with a complicated expression, "We really shouldn't, when the injuries on our bodies are healed, we have to come to the door to thank them in person, if they don't help this time, it is estimated that our mother and daughter will really be planted in Yixian Building and will not be able to get out." ”

Liu's mother and daughter were careful and wanted to live their little life more comfortably, but what they never expected was that the news spread so quickly, and Liu Caiyue was almost defiled by Li Quansheng, and soon spread to the village where they lived. ”

Angry, Liu's face turned pale, and he was about to rush up to fight with someone, Liu Caiyue hurriedly took her hand and dissuaded: "Mother, don't be impulsive." ”

It's a pity that he can stop it once, but he can't stop it a second time, Liu fought and scolded others again and again, again and again, seeing Liu Caiyue's heart uncomfortable, so he found the woman who spoke the loudest and pulled the person into his room.

She's still perfect.

The woman muttered about it, and then ran away without a trace, but the news came out the next day, saying that Liu Caiyue's body had been seen by someone, even if it was destroyed.

The rumors were as fierce as a tiger, she couldn't bear it anymore, and when Liu was not at home and there was no one at home, she found a white silk and wanted to end herself, but fortunately she was bumped into by An Xiabai and saved.

"If I hadn't suddenly left the things in the restaurant to come to see you today, I guess your life would be gone by now." An Xiabai held the person in his arms, sighed and persuaded, "Actually, it's useless for you to hang yourself from the beam, your mouth grows on someone else's body, if you die, no one will confront them anymore, but let them have more room for speculation and discussion." ”

"But, but I really can't stand it," Liu Caiyue covered her face, tears kept flowing from her fingers, "My mother has been arguing with them about this matter recently, and there are many people who can't scold them alone, I feel really uncomfortable when I look at it, so I think it's better to leave!" ”

An Xiabai patted her head and said helplessly: "If you die, your mother will be even more uncomfortable, and the girl who finally pulled the big girl will lose her life like this, she will hate them even more in the future, and her heart will only be more uncomfortable." You are her only daughter, and your last thought, are you willing to leave her alone? ”

Liu Caiyue didn't want to, she lowered her head and cried even harder.

At this time, Liu came back and saw the white silk hanging on the beam, and the woman who was crying into tears couldn't help crying.

"I can't stay here, why don't we live in another place." With a small abacus, Liu silently calculated the silver taels that Li Quansheng had paid in his heart, and said to his girl, "The money in the family is enough for us to change places and have a peaceful birthday." When we find a place where no one knows and settle down, I'll keep my eyes open and find you a good mother-in-law? What do you think? ”

This is a good thing for Liu Caiyue.

An Xiabai looked at them silently, saying that if she went to a far place, she could provide some travel expenses for the sake of her relatives.

For the first time, she was willing to give money to Liu's mother and daughter, but unfortunately they were unwilling to accept it.

Liu restrained her temper, no longer had the temper of her teeth and claws before, but like an ordinary peasant woman, and she was very gentle, she smiled and shook her head: "We used to calculate you in every possible way and murder you, it would be good if you were willing to help save people, as for the entanglement, of course we can't accept it, or keep it for your own use, the expenses of the restaurant are trivial, and maybe it is useful." ”

In the surprised gaze cast by An Xiabai, Liu fell to the ground with a thud, and then kowtowed, if it wasn't for An Xiabai's quick hand to help her up, it is estimated that she would have to have three rings in a row.

An Xiabai had mixed feelings in her heart: "Sister-in-law, what are you doing here?" ”

"I am grateful to you in my heart, so I want to thank you before leaving, but I don't have any silver taels and money to give, so I can only use this Fang clan."

When Liu Caiyue heard this, she also wanted to get off the bed and kowtow to An Xiabai, but was pressed back by the latter's hand: "You guys are breaking my life." ”

Liu's mother and daughter chose to leave the town in the early morning three days later, before they left, it was An Xiabai and Lu Li to send, watching the carriage they took farther and farther, An Xiabai sighed in his heart: "Sure enough, people don't experience certain things, there is no way to grow at all, you look at Liu, she used to ask us how diligent we were when we took the money, and now I took the initiative to entangle her, she didn't want to accept it, and finally I secretly stuffed it into her baggage, I hope she can reach her destination safely this way." ”

Lu Li, who was beside him, snorted, looking thoughtful.
