Cao's son offended the second son of the Jiang family and was thrown into jail. The neighbors were afraid of being retaliated against if they got close to her family, so they avoided her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. If it weren't for this incident and her daughter-in-law had a difficult delivery, with her good popularity, the whole yard would have been crowded with people.

Just because no one showed up didn't mean no one cared. A few neighbors were still outside, looking in. Fortunately, no one came in, so Ding Youtian's presence in the delivery room to help Jian Ning was not immediately known.

But after hearing the baby crying, Erniu and Sanniu rushed to tell Tong Bajin and Erlangzi that their mother had her stomach cut open to take the baby out, and their father was inside helping their mother.

When they talked about this, they looked extremely proud and waved their little hands to tell them that neither the adults nor the children would die. Tong Bajin and Erlangzi were stunned when they heard this.

Their wife is so awesome!

Of course, their master was equally powerful, and both of them were extremely happy to have such a master. They both thought that they would work hard for their master in the future. As for why they had to work hard, neither of them thought much about it. They just thought that they had learned a lot of skills, and such a master was worth their lives to protect.

So when Ding Youtian and Jian Ning came out, Ding Youtian asked Jian Ning to give a few taels of silver to Tong Bajin, and told him and Erlangzi to investigate why Xu Dali was thrown into jail. He also mentioned the father and daughter who were singing on the street, and asked them to find them and bring them back to the inn.

The two men happily accepted the order and were about to leave when Ding Youtian suddenly remembered and called Erlangzi again, "Were you thrown into the death row yesterday? Did you see a man named Xu beaten all over his body?"

Erlangzi shook his head. "I wasn't thrown into death row. Most of the people in there were beaten and bruised. I think my wife and I were sent there in the middle of the night, so we didn't suffer any physical pain."

"Okay, I understand. Go ahead."

After they left, Ding Youtian and Jian Ning took Erniu and Sanniu back to the inn. Jian Ning was still indignant when she thought of the Jiang father and son. "If things are really as Cao said, how are you going to seek justice for them? I think that guy surnamed Yang is probably unreliable. I'm afraid that if they are on the same page as Jiang, they are not good people!"

"Let's wait until Brother Tong and the others have verified the facts. Even Prince Yong, who is deeply favored by the emperor, is not as bold as them. It really is true that the emperor is far away. If the law only has a restraining effect on ordinary people, then what is the point of having laws? I'd rather not be an official than not be one. If I do become one, I have to serve the people. Even if I am just a small county magistrate for my whole life, I will redress the grievances of the people for every day I serve. Otherwise, I would rather go home and farm!"

"Okay, I support you! Whether you become an official or farm, as long as you are always upright and honest, I will be with you through fire and water!"

Upon hearing this, Ding Youtian took her hand, held it tightly in his own, and said nothing. Everything was said without words!

At this time, in the backyard of the yamen, Ding Zhushi was spoiled and spoiled with Lord Yang. She thought that Jian Ning and Ding Youtian would definitely die this time, but she ran to the court in the front yard and saw that Jian Ning was acquitted. She also let Sanniu see her. She was not sure whether Sanniu recognized her, and was worried that Sanniu would recognize her and tell Jian Ning and Ding Youtian.

If the two of them revealed that she had been Wu Fengfu's concubine, her fabricated life story would most likely be exposed. She was worried and scared. After Lord Yang finished entertaining Prince Rui and the governor and came back, she pestered Lord Yang and insisted that he send people to capture Jian Ning and Ding Youtian and put them in death row!

"Nonsense!" Lord Yang rebuked her with a stern face. "Those palace soldiers weren't killed by your brother and sister-in-law. They've already been released. How could they capture them again for no reason? Stop your nonsense."

Ding Zhu covered her face with a handkerchief and burst into tears. "My poor parents were bullied by a wicked woman every day when they were alive. Although I want to avenge them, I am a weak woman who can't do anything. In the end, my parents raised me in vain, wuwu..."

She cried so hard that every time she shrugged her shoulders or twisted her waist, she looked charming in the eyes of the prefect. The prefect, who had never come into contact with prostitutes, was aroused by the coquettish behaviors she had learned. He had also caught a glimpse of Jian Ning in a hurry when he rushed to the court in the front yard. She looked similar to him and was not the vicious woman that Ding Zhu said she was.

But with Ding Zhu crying like this, he had no time to think about it. He also felt that his tone of voice when he scolded Ding Zhu was a little harsh, and he was about to go forward to comfort her when a maid came to report: "Master, the mistress has had another attack of madness, and she sent a maid to call you."

Although Lord Yang loved to take concubines, he dared not neglect his own wife in the slightest, not for any other reason, but because his wife's family was quite wealthy. Otherwise, with the salary of a honest and incorruptible prefect, how could he support a whole courtyard of servants?

"Why did you go crazy again?" Lord Yang left Ding Zhu and asked the maid who came to report the news as he walked towards the main house in the backyard.

"I think it's because the weather is hot and Madam has been trying to stay cool these nights and hasn't covered herself enough." The maid said this, and then, perhaps fearing a rebuke, added, "The maids have reminded Madam."

"Ouch, ouch..." Lord Yang heard the lady crying out in the room while he was still outside the door. He took a few quick steps inside and saw a maid pressing and kneading the lady's foreheads. She must be in great pain, with her face flushed. When she saw him coming, she cried out even louder.

"I'll do it." Lord Yang waved his hand to let the maid leave. He tugged at his sleeves and stepped forward to press both sides of his wife's forehead. He asked with concern, "Are you feeling better?"

It would have been fine if he hadn't asked. As soon as he did, his wife got angry, stomped her feet on the ground, and cried out, "It hurts so much! How can it heal so quickly? I think the master has been bewitched by this new little vixen!"

"Ouch, be gentle, are you trying to kill me on purpose?"

A concubine is just a toy. The wife of the prefect doesn't really mind. He takes a concubine and keeps her for a year or two. She just has a headache and doesn't even curse.

"Okay, I'll be a little lighter, is that okay?" Putting aside the financial resources of his wife's family, the prefect also had some affection for his wife. After all, they were a young couple. He was just a poor scholar at the beginning. Even the few taels of silver for buying coffin boards for his mother's funeral were secretly funded by his wife.

"Oh no, it hurts so much!" His wife became annoyed, pushed his hand away, and pressed her forehead, moving around the room in pain.

Seeing her in so much pain, the prefect was also very anxious. He suddenly remembered that he had heard General Geng mention before that the young lady who was acquitted today was a doctor and had cured General Geng's mother's illness. He heard that the illness seemed to be insane.

"Come here, quickly go to the front yard and ask which inn the prisoner who was released today is staying in. Once you know, quickly go and get that young lady to come and treat Madam. Go quickly!"

A servant responded and quickly went to the front yard.
