Chapter 520 Go and enjoy happiness

The yamen runners escorted Chen Zhanshan and his family out of Nanshan Village.

Chen Zhancai, who was in the car, had already learned about his daughter's past from Chen Ruolan.

He looked distressed, but he was just pretending. In fact, he was very proud.

Only those who have endured the most hardships can become the best. Now that I can become the wife of the county magistrate, it means that all the hardships I have endured were not in vain and all the sufferings were worth it.

Otherwise, he would not have become the county magistrate's father-in-law.

With this identity, he can walk around Anyang with his freeloading, eat at restaurants, visit brothels and hug beautiful girls. No one dares to ask him for money. He can scare them to death.

When I get to Anyang, I will first find a private room in the largest brothel with the most girls and enjoy myself for a few days.

The more he thought about it, the more beautiful it became. It was so beautiful that snot bubbles came out and he couldn't help laughing out loud.

He suddenly realized that Chen Ruolan was still beside him, felt a little out of place, and quickly calmed down.

Chen Ruolan thought she could find a huge fortune in the Chen family, but she didn't even find a single ingot of silver. She was so angry.

What to do now?

Are we going to return empty-handed?

No, I won’t be able to explain to Qin Shousheng if I go back like this.

Her eyes rolled and she thought of Fan Tong.

He was a well-known wealthy man in Qingshui Town. Since he failed to extort money from Chen Qingqing, he might as well go to Fan Tong to make amends and take the opportunity to avenge the humiliation he had suffered in the past.

Having made up her mind, Chen Ruolan split her forces into two groups. She asked several yamen runners to escort Chen Zhanshan and his family to Anyang Prison, while she took several yamen runners to Qingshui Town.

This time Chen Ruolan was not disappointed. They found five carriages full of valuables in the Fan family.

Fan Tong was also arrested on charges of bullying others, robbing people by trickery, and raping decent women.

Shi Taishou, who had touched her body, was ruthlessly castrated on the spot, his hands were chopped off, and his tongue was cut off, making him a complete cripple.

Then Chen Ruolan ordered people to beat Fan Tong's son Fan Hun, his wife and concubines with twenty sticks each.

Only then did he leave the Fan family with satisfaction.

Then the two of them came to the door of Wang Qichang's private residence.

"Dad, my mother works here?" Chen Ruolan's nose felt sore and her eyes suddenly turned red.

Chen Zhancai deliberately put on an ashamed expression, "Ruolan, it's all Dad's fault for not being able to pass the imperial examination. Otherwise, your mother wouldn't have fallen to the point of working for others."

"Dad, it's already amazing that you can pass the exam and become a scholar. There's no need to blame yourself for it. After picking up my mother in Anyang, you should concentrate on your studies. I believe that Dad will pass the next autumn examination in one go." Chen Ruolan comforted softly.

Chen Zhancai puffed out his chest and smiled so hard that his teeth were visible. "Don't worry, Ruolan, Daddy will definitely live up to your expectations."

"Daughter believes you." Chen Ruolan glanced towards the gate and said, "Dad, go and call the door and pick up my mother and Jiye. We have to hurry!"

"Okay, I'll go right away." Chen Zhancai was so happy when he thought about the good life he would be able to enjoy with his daughter in the future that he even felt tears in his eyes due to excitement. He wiped his eyes with his sleeve quickly before knocking on the door.

Liu Fengjiao was sitting in the shade of a tree in the yard to enjoy the cool air.

Aunt Wang was washing clothes nearby.

To the outside world, Liu Fengjiao is a servant here, but once the door is closed, she is the master here.

She had the best food, clothing, and daily necessities, and she didn't have to do any work. She lived a more leisurely and comfortable life than when she was with Chen Zhancai.

She is very satisfied with her current life and has even forgotten that she is a married woman.

Hearing a knock on the door, Liu Fengjiao ordered, "Auntie Wang, go see who it is?"

"Yes, ma'am," Wang Ma agreed, wiped her hands on her apron, stood up and walked to the door. "Who is it?"

"Auntie Wang, I'm Fengjiao's man. Please call her out for a moment. I have something to say to her."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Wang curled her lips in disdain. The poor devil came to collect his debt again.

Liu Fengjiao also recognized it as Chen Zhancai's voice, and a look of annoyance appeared on her face. She raised her hand to signal Wang Ma to ask Chen Zhancai what was the matter first.

Wang Ma understood what she meant and said to Chen Zhancai outside the door, "Mr. Chen, Fengjiao is washing clothes. If there is nothing important, please come back tomorrow!"

"Auntie Wang, tell Fengjiao that there is a happy event in our family, a huge happy event. Please ask her to come out and see me." Chen Zhancai was so excited that his voice broke.

Aunt Wang twitched her lips, her tone somewhat impatient. "Mr. Chen, what great joy is this? Just tell me directly. I'll tell Fengjiao. We can't delay her work for the master."

Liu Fengjiao didn't believe what Chen Zhancai said at all. In order to enter the courtyard several times, he said there was a happy event, but in the end he asked her for money to buy food.

Another time, I said I brought her a gift, but it turned out to be a broken bun.

This bastard who only wants to eat and wait for death, besides coming to her to ask for money, he just wants to do that little thing,

He was simply a scoundrel among gentlemen. I wanted Wang Ma to drive him away, but I heard another delicate voice outside.

"Old mother, I am Liu Fengjiao's daughter. I haven't seen my mother for more than a year. Please tell her that her unfilial daughter has come to see her."

"Ruolan, it's my Ruolan." Liu Fengjiao was stunned, and the folding fan in her hand fell to the ground with a clatter.

Her daughter is not dead, Ruolan is still alive.

She staggered to the door, opened it with trembling hands, and a familiar figure appeared before her.

"Ruolan, mother thought she would never see you again." Liu Fengjiao's voice choked with sobs, tears streaming down her face. Ever since she learned of Chen Ruolan's tragic misfortune, she couldn't help crying every night when she thought of her daughter's smile and well-behaved appearance.

Chen Ruolan's eyes were red and tears welled up in them. "Mother, I am an unfilial daughter and I am sorry to have caused you worry."

Chen Zhancai couldn't help but be moved. "Alright Fengjiao, our Ruolan is still alive. She is now the wife of the county magistrate. She came back specially to take us to live with her. You should pack up quickly and go to Wang Qichang's house to pick up Jiye. We should leave for Anyang as soon as possible."

Liu Fengjiao was shocked and a little bit incredulous, "Ruolan, is what your father said true?"

"Mom, it's true." Chen Ruolan nodded with a smile, and then roughly recounted the whole story, but she only talked about how she was beaten and had no food to eat at Fan's house, but did not say what Fan Tong did to her.

Liu Fengjiao's eyes were filled with heartache. "Ruolan, you've suffered so much. If it weren't for your grandma and that damn girl, you wouldn't have suffered so much. Fortunately, now the hardship has ended and it's time for my daughter to enjoy her happiness."

Chen Ruolan wiped the corners of her eyes and put on a smile, "Mom, hurry up and pack your things and come with me to Anyang. I want you to enjoy the glory and wealth with me."
