Zhao Liuer glanced at the giggling girl in her arms and laughed too.

"Qing'er, since we have met your third brother, there is no need for you to send us to the county seat. You can go home with your third uncle and Tang Yazi!" Zhao Liu'er said again.

Yang Ruoqing nodded, she had guessed this result when she saw Yang Yongzhi.

Yang Yongzhi said angrily: "When I pass through the county town later, I will go to the restaurant to borrow a few sets of clothes from my second brother. This time I will accompany Liu'er and his mother to stay with my uncle for a while to save time.

When I went home, my grandma called me to talk about all that nonsense."

Do you want him to go back and divorce his wife?

Give him a break!

I have a wife and a baby. I don’t know how nourishing it is to have a warm bed and hot meals.

Asking me to divorce my wife? To become a bachelor? How selfish!

I will never give up. Whoever wants to give up will give up!

Yang Yongzhi got into Zhao Liuer's carriage and parted ways with Yang Ruoqing's carriage.

On the way back to the village, Yang Huazhong sat in the carriage and took a nap. Luo Fengtang drove the carriage, and Yang Ruoqing sat next to him. The bay-red horse she was riding on when she came over followed meekly beside the carriage.

Luo Fengtang tried his best to drive the carriage as gently as possible so that Yang Huazhong in the carriage could sleep more comfortably.

"My dad is snoring like thunder. I think he has been really exhausted these past two days!" Yang Ruoqing listened to the movement in the car behind her and couldn't help but whisper to Luo Fengtang.

Luo Fengtang nodded, and also said in a low voice: "I have been rushing and going to the Yamen Court these past two days to answer questions. Third uncle is really tired."

"Hey, tell me about my cousin and Li Xiuxin's situation." Yang Ruoqing moved closer to him and patted his arm gently.

"You are the only ones back this time, and there is no trace of the three of them. What's going on? Is it possible that they stayed behind and went to jail?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

While driving, Luo Fengtang looked ahead, always paying attention to the road conditions so that he could make timely adjustments.

Hearing Yang Ruoqing's question, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and he said: "I won't go into the tedious inquiries and the accusations and arguments made by both parties in the court. You must be too lazy to listen to their rhetoric.

, let’s talk about the results.”

"Mother Li, because the bamboo hairpin poked your cousin, it constituted the crime of intentional injury. She was beaten ten times and detained for three months."

Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows: "In other words, Mother Li will still be in jail for three months?"

Luo Fengtang nodded.

"Her behavior of poking your cousin with a bamboo hairpin may have hurt her life. According to the law, she would have been severely punished, but the reason was that your cousin wanted to strangle Li Xiuxin first, and Li's mother was eager to protect her daughter before taking the bamboo hairpin.

To poke your cousin with a hairpin is a counterattack,"

"So the punishments for Mother Li and your first cousin are similar. They are both beaten ten times and detained for three months." He said.

Yang Ruoqing was surprised: "Ah? Not only will Li's mother go to jail for three months, but my cousin will also go to jail for three months?"

Luo Fengtang nodded, "Killing is a serious crime, and attempted murder will naturally be severely punished."

"What about Li Xiuxin?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

Luo Fengtang said: "In the last wave of turmoil, Li Xiuxin was almost strangled to death by your cousin. She was a victim, so she was not sentenced. However, the origin of this incident was her. She deliberately put laxatives into the sweet soup. The laxative itself was

It’s not fatal, but because Xiu’er was born weak, it indirectly killed Xiu’er.”

"But Li Xiuxin had a very good attitude in admitting her mistake in court. She cried bitterly and regretted it. She wanted to commit suicide several times to follow Xiu'er."

"Perhaps it was her actions and words that moved the county magistrate and made him feel a little compassion. She was originally supposed to be sentenced to exile, but now it has been changed to five years." He said.

"Five years? This is enough for Li Xiuxin to drink a pot!"

Li Xiuxin is now twenty-seven or eighty years old. When she is released from prison in five years, she will already be a woman in her early thirties.

It can be said that the most glorious period of her life has passed, and she was buried by her own hands.

"Three months? My grandma is going to collapse now. Fortunately, there is no provincial examination this year. Otherwise, my cousin will not be able to take the exam, and my grandma will go crazy!" Yang Ruoqing said.

Luo Fengtang sneered: "Your eldest brother, who is studying in front of everyone, actually tried to strangle someone to death. The county magistrate did not report your eldest brother to be dismissed because of his father-in-law's plea and our relationship with the old Yang family.

He has gained the reputation of being a scholar, and now this punishment is already a mercy!"

Yang Ruoqing twitched her lips: "It's a pity that I wasn't there at the time. Otherwise, I would have suggested to the county magistrate that he should be stripped of his title of scholar and let them cry, huh!"

Luo Fengtang freed up a hand, gently held her hand, glanced into the car behind him, and gave Yang Ruoqing a hint in his eyes.

Yang Ruoqing understood immediately. He was reminding her not to say that. She hates evil as much as she hates her, and she can kill relatives for justice.

But Yang Huazhong, the father in the carriage, must have felt uncomfortable. He was an innocent man, and the one who was sentenced was his own nephew.

Standing in an upright position, he must deal with it impartially, but selfishly, Yang Huazhong definitely doesn't want to see this.

Yang Ruoqing made a face at Luo Fengtang and stuck out her tongue playfully.

Luo Fengtang curled his lips, pinched her nose, and pulled her into his arms.

She then leaned her head on his broad shoulder, her eyes and brows filled with joy.

When the carriage arrived at Changping Village, in the afternoon, the villagers had finished taking a nap, avoided the autumn tiger, and began to pick up farm tools and go back to the fields to work.

In less than half a month, the late rice will be harvested, and the cotton has also matured. The ground is blooming in waves, and it is completely white.

So you don’t have to worry when traveling at night during this season, because there are usually many women gathering cotton in the fields at night, let alone this afternoon?

Yang Huazhong's carriage passed by on the road in front of the village. The villagers working in the fields on both sides of the road recognized the carriage of Yang Huazhong's family. They all climbed up to the field ridge and waved and shouted hello.

Yang Huazhong woke up after arriving in Qingshui Town and insisted on going out to catch the car and take a breath of fresh air.

So inside the carriage, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang were snuggled up and dozing, and the driver was Yang Huazhong.

The two dozing people clearly felt that the carriage under them was much slower. From time to time, voices came from both sides. Everyone was asking Yang Huazhong about the results of the Yamen interrogation!

Yang Huazhong's answer was the same as everyone else's: "I can't tell you for the time being. I will discuss it with several village elders later and put up a notice at the entrance of the village."
