Chapter 24
It's dawn.
After a night, the kang was not as warm as when he just fell asleep last night. When Han Yue was about to get up, Chen Jiao hugged him in a daze and refused to let him go. Such a warm living person is much more useful than Tang Pozi. It is very comfortable to lean on, and Chen Jiao is reluctant to let go.
The clingy petite lady was like a piglet nestled in the sow's arms. Han Yue smiled and hugged her for a while. After the sky gradually became brighter, Chunxing was about to come over to cook. Han Yue pulled Miss Pea's hand away and he got up first to open the door.
Chen Jiao fell asleep after a full sleep. When she woke up, she remembered the heat of last night. When she saw Han Yue again, she felt a little uncomfortable.
She dressed up in the mirror, and Han Yue came over, looked at her jewelry box, and whispered: "That hairpin, after the New Year, you come back from your grandfather's relatives and start wearing it."
Han Yue was worried that Cao Zhenzhu would buy it when she saw the silver hairpin, and suspected that it was him. Then he also made trouble with his second brother, causing trouble in vain. The Tian family had money, and Cao Zhenzhu really dared to doubt it. Chen Jiao said that it was given by her grandmother, so she could block Cao Zhenzhu's mouth.
Chen Jiao is not a fool, so of course she knows the truth that money is not exposed.
In front of Han Yue, Chen Jiao hid the silver hairpin at the bottom of the jewelry box.
The couple had a tacit look on their faces, and Han Yue smiled and rubbed Chen Jiao's head.
After dinner, the whole family cleaned the inside and outside the house together to prepare for the New Year.
While busy, someone suddenly called Han Yue's name at the gate of the Han family. He had a bad tone. Han Yue, who was sweeping the dust of the beams of the east house, immediately jumped to the ground. Chen Jiao wiped his hands and went out with him. When Chen Jiao looked out, she saw two yamen runners in gray clothes having entered the yard, followed by a fat middle-aged man with a fat head and face. Outside the gate, there were a group of whispering villagers.
Why did the yamen runners look for Han Yue?
Chen Jiao's heart sank.
Han Yue was quite calm and went out to welcome him. He smiled and asked the two officials what they had to do.
One of the yamen runners looked him up and down and turned around to ask the fat man behind him: "Is it him who sells your wild boar?"
The fat manager said indignantly: "Yes, it's him! My second master ate wild boar meat. He suddenly vomited and had diarrhea in the middle of the night. He was so sick that he was not a human. It must be that his wild boar had a problem!"
Han Yue finally recognized this person. This person was the manager who bought a wild boar with him yesterday!
Before he could inquire carefully, the yamen runner who had spoken before said coldly: "Mr. Wei Er of Sitong Money Village sued you for selling him a sick pig. Let's go and follow us to the county yamen."
Sitong Money House Wei Erye?
Han Yue has met a second master who came from a money shop in the past two years. Last year, he and Chen Jiao and Hongmei went to the county town together. On the way back to the village, there was a second master Wei who was ill-hearted towards Chen Jiao...
Han Yue knew that his wild boar was fine. So, was it because Wei Erye asked Chen Jiao but couldn't get it and set up a situation to harm him?
Han Yue wanted to look back at his petite lady, but he held it back, afraid that she would misunderstand and that those around him would associate something.
The head of the family caused a lawsuit. Han Jiang, Han Xu, and Cao Zhenzhu were all so anxious that Chen Jiao was both anxious and angry after hearing that Wei Qingcang was related to this matter! What a good Wei Qingcang, she thought Wei Qingcang was just lustful and romantic, but she didn't expect that he would set up a plan to harm people because of the old incident that happened a year later!
No matter what the Han family thought, Han Yue was taken away by the yamen runners.
Han Jiang asked Cao Zhenzhu to guard the house. He took his third brother Han Xu and Chen Jiao to the county government to see how the magistrate judged. Lin Boyuan, who received the news, also left the students in the private school and stayed with his daughter and son-in-law. He had fame and fortune and could help him a little.
But Lin Boyuan didn't know that Wei Qingcang was very close to County Magistrate Song and often drank and ate meat together. Wei Qingcang greeted County Magistrate Song in advance. How could County Magistrate Song not help his own people? At this time, let alone Lin Boyuan was just a scholar, even if he was a juren and had no official position, he would have no choice but to take the local parents' official position.
In the county government office, Wei Qingcang had arrived, sitting on the chair that the servant had brought with him, covering his face with a veil in one hand, looking weak. When a group of Han family walked in one after another, Wei Qingcang coughed and looked up, and saw the little woman beside Lin Boyuan at a glance.
Wei Qingcang narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that Chen Jiao after getting married was more beautiful and charming than last year. Her pretty face frowned suddenly aroused his anger.
Last year, Wei Qingcang was rejected for proposals. He was so angry that he hired two gangsters to kidnap Chen Jiao. He was looking forward to the spring breeze with the beauty at home, but he didn't want the gangster to run back in a mess. From the gangster's description, Wei Qingcang immediately concluded that the one who ruined his good deeds was Han Yue, a strong man who blocked him from getting close to the beauty in the mule cart!
Wei Qingcang was very annoyed and unwilling to accept it. However, the plan of hijacking failed. He could never think of a more suitable way. His friend introduced him to a fresh beauty. Wei Qingcang gradually gave up the peasant girl who had already been engaged to Han Yue.
Then, a few days ago, he ate a wild boar at his friend's place. Wei Qingcang hadn't seen the wild boar yet. When he learned that the seller would go to the market every day, Wei Qingcang went to watch the fun the next day and got closer. He was surprised to recognize Han Yue. Then, Wei Qingcang remembered a little beauty named Jiaojiao, who looked even more beautiful than the new celebrant peony from the cyclamen.
Wei Qingcang spent hundreds of taels of silver on Mudan, but Mudan was accustomed to making airs and refused to accept his guests. Wei Qingcang, who was frustrated in love, wanted to be proud of Chen Jiao and have a plan to make a decision with his friends. Wei Qingcang thought of a good plan to frame Han Yue and force Chen Jiao to sacrifice herself to save her husband.
Chen Jiao noticed Wei Qingcang's gaze, and she glared at her angrily. Wei Qingcang smiled at her obscenely, then lowered her head and continued to cough.
County Magistrate Song began to investigate the case. The witness, the fat manager and Han Yue both admitted that the wild boar was sold by Han Yue, and Wei Qingcang was also sick. Next, we had to check whether the physical evidence of the wild boar was sick.
The wild boar that the Wei family had not finished eating was carried up. In the middle of winter, the wild boar was not broken at all. Magistrate Song invited a famous doctor in the county to check it out, proving that there was indeed a problem with the wild boar meat.
With all the evidence and physical evidence, Han Yue was taken to prison.
Before Wei Qingcang left, he looked at Chen Jiao meaningfully, first looking at her face and then her chest.
Chen Jiao just felt disgusted!
He reminded him with his eyes that the fat manager of the Wei family walked directly to Chen Jiao and said with a wicked smile: "If you want to save your husband, there is no way. My second master has lived in a private residence in the east of the city these days. The young lady went there to beg there. If our second master is in a good mood, maybe I won't pursue it. Let your husband be released from prison as soon as possible, and the family can have a reunion year."
"Bastard!" The master and servant meant it was obvious, and Lin Boyuan cursed angrily.
The fat manager smiled and reported the address of Wei Qingcang's private residence, and he went to chase his second master.
Han Yue was imprisoned and the dog officials were not allowed to visit him. Chen Jiao and others had no choice but to go home first.
Sitting on the borrowed donkey cart, Lin Boyuan said indignantly that he wanted to go to the capital city to avenge his son-in-law.
Han Jiang looked at Chen Jiao and said sadly: "The wild boar was tampered with and the magistrate was unable to overturn the case even if it was reported to the prefect. I am afraid that when we were running outside, our elder brother would suffer inside."
The men discussed the solution, and Chen Jiao lowered her head expressionlessly.
What Wei Qingcang wants is her. As long as she sleeps with Wei Qingcang, Han Yue will be able to come out. But what will Han Yue treat her in the future? Do you still want the relationship between the couple? She has worked hard for so long, and seeing that Han Yue is getting better and better to her, Chen Jiao is unwilling to let things go, not to mention that she will not let people like Wei Qingcang touch her.
what to do?
Chen Jiao tried to find a way to deal with Wei Qingcang from the memory given to her by the Bodhisattva.
She hoped for other ways, but Han Jiang could not see any hope and couldn't help but mutter to Cao Zhenzhu at night.
Cao Zhenzhu was hoping that Chen Jiao would not have a good end. If Chen Jiao slept with Wei Qingcang, Han Yue would continue to spoil her? Maybe she would leave Chen Jiao. By then, Cao Zhenzhu would be the only wife of the Han family, and the money saved by the three-bedroom house would be handed over to her for custody!
"There are all vicious people in the prison cell, and there are all those who kill and set fire. Will the elder brother be injured when he is locked up with them?" Cao Zhenzhu said in a crying voice in the dark room.
Han Jiang was even more worried.
Cao Zhenzhu twitched for a while and said in confusion: "Wait, look at Master Wei's behavior, they clearly intend to frame the eldest brother. Did Master Wei have fallen in love with his sister-in-law for a long time? It's said that beauty is in trouble, why did it fall on our eldest brother? If Brother has a long and short condition, he doesn't even have a child under his knees..."
When Han Jiang heard this, he was so angry that he lifted the quilt and sat up, breathing heavily.
No matter how beautiful or rich your sister-in-law is, she is not as important as her biological brother!
"You, it's too late to get up. It's not convenient for me to go find my sister-in-law. You go and persuade my sister-in-law. No matter what, let's save my brother first!"
Cao Zhenzhu pretended to be confused and asked, "What do you mean?"
Han Jiang smashed the kang hard.
Cao Zhenzhu understood, excitedly put on her clothes in the dark, walked to the window of the east room, and asked Chen Jiao to open the door.
"What's the matter?" Chen Jiao asked with a frown.
Cao Zhenzhu sighed: "Sister-in-law opened the door first, let's discuss how to save the eldest brother."
Chen Jiao said coldly: "No need to discuss it. I have already made a countermeasure. Let my second and third brother follow me into the city tomorrow."
Cao Zhenzhu was stunned. Is this woman able to deal with it?
What countermeasures are there? Could she figured it out by herself? She wanted to warm the bed for Mr. Wei Er?
Chen Jiao refused to open the door, and Cao Zhenzhu went back to the wing room coldly and told Han Jiang his guess.
Han Jiang was very angry. It was the same thing that he advised his sister-in-law to go and find Mr. Wei. His sister-in-law took the initiative to send him over. Do you want to cling to the rich young master?
The couple whispered, and in the east room, Chen Jiao touched the quilt beside her and closed her eyes calmly.
The next day, ignoring Han Jiang's complicated peeping and his tiny face, Chen Jiao, her two brother-in-law and her father Lin Boyuan entered the city again.
Chen Jiao didn't go to Wei Qingcang's private residence, so she went directly to the Wei family's mansion to find Mr. Wei.
Mr. Wei knew that his son was having a lawsuit with someone, but he thought his son was really injured, so he didn't interfere. Now that the Han family is here, Mr. Wei will put down the errands at hand and come to the main hall with a calm face.
After being polite, Chen Jiao said to her father and two brothers-in-law: "Father, second and third brothers, you can go out first. I have a few words that are only suitable for telling Mr. Wei privately."
Lin Boyuan and the other two looked at each other and retreated for the time being.
The main hall door was open, but the people inside were whispering, and the people outside could not hear it.
Mr. Wei looked at the beautiful little woman diagonally opposite him in confusion.
Chen Jiao first explained her grudges with Wei Qingcang.
Mr. Wei pursed his lips. He knew that his son was lustful, but he didn't expect that the brat actually wanted to force a good man to become a prostitute.
After a moment of silence, Mr. Wei said to Chen Jiao: "You don't have to go find him. In three days, I promise Han Yue will be released from prison."
Chen Jiao asked: "Dare you ask how you are going to save my husband?"
Mr. Wei had recovered his majesty just now and said lightly: "Then you don't have to worry about it. There is nothing else, you can leave."
Chen Jiao didn't leave, sat steadily on the chair and replied: "When the young master frames this, the Han family's wild boar business cannot be done. Therefore, I hope that Mr. Wei will clarify that the wild boar is sick because of my husband's innocent prison."
Han Yue has sold so many wild boars recently, and some families may not have started slaughtering. Once the news of Han Yue's imprisonment spread, buyers will definitely come to return the pigs. Han Yue has been happy these days because the money he has worked hard to save. Chen Jiao didn't want the smile to disappear on her husband's face.
Mr. Wei smiled sarcastically. He would not indulge his son to bully the peasant woman, but he would not selflessly tell outsiders that his son deliberately set up a situation to frame a farmer.
"Miss, don't be too greedy." Mr. Wei warned Chen Jiao.
Chen Jiao smiled back and said confidently: "You are willing to help us couples once, and I will give you a secret that is closely related to the life of the young master."
Mr. Wei raised his eyebrows: "What's the secret? Tell me first before I will consider whether to agree to you."
Chen Jiao believed that Mr. Wei was fair. She whispered a few words when she took a sip of tea.
Mr. Wei's face turned pale and he looked at Chen Jiao deeply. He said in a deep voice: "I will send someone to verify this matter. Once it is true, I will do what you wish."
Chen Jiao saw that it was good and thanked him and said goodbye. When the group went out, they ran into Wei Qingcang who heard the news.
Chen Jiao didn't even look at him, and left with her head held high and her chest.
Wei Qingcang was full of doubts and went to find the old man to find out Chen Jiao's purpose. However, before he could speak, Mr. Wei's tea bowl flew towards him! After some scolding, Mr. Wei ordered people to lock the evil son in the room, locking the doors and windows. Then that night, Mr. Wei went to the brothel fairy guest in person.
Mr. Wei is the richest man in the county. He called for a name to see Mudan, and the madam immediately made arrangements.
Mr. Wei went to Mudan's incense room. After entering the room, he didn't even sit down. He stared at the beautiful Mudan and asked, "Are you sick?"
The peony flowers are fading.
Mr. Wei gritted his teeth and turned his head to leave.
The next day, Mr. Wei sent someone to tie up the fat manager and sent it to the county government. He said that the fat manager bought the wild boar and secretly fed the wild boar poison because he hated his master. He caused Wei Qingcang to get sick. Afterwards, the fat manager blamed the honest man Han Yue again. Since there was no problem with the wild boar, Han Yue was framed by the fat manager, and the Wei family begged the county magistrate Song to release Han Yue, who was also the victim.
