It is not appropriate for a girl like Xiao Xin to talk to Old Lady Huang, and it is not convenient to talk to Chen Jingui. Only Huang Wanyun is the most appropriate person.
The next day, Old Mrs. Huang and Huang Wanyun got up early in the morning and rushed to the town. They found the mayor and told him about the situation.
After listening to this, the mayor thought about it, picked up a pen, wrote a letter and handed it to her.
"When you get there, give this letter to the mayor, and he will release the person."
Old Mrs. Huang thanked him profusely and quietly put the document into the space.
The two went to the Shen Mansion again and borrowed a carriage from Mr. Shen, who readily agreed.
He also arranged for the most skillful groom in the mansion to take them there.
Huang Wanyun said: "Mom, I'm still a little nervous. I hope this trip will go smoothly."
Old Mrs. Huang comforted her, "Wanyun, don't worry, this time it will be smooth, the Bodhisattva will bless us."
The two places were not close to each other, and the three of them traveled for a whole day and finally arrived in the evening.
"Let's stay in the inn for one night and go see the mayor tomorrow morning."
But Huang Wanyun was in a bad mood all night. She was always worried that Han Yi had been executed.
Old Mrs. Huang was actually quite worried, but she didn't show it.
He pretended to be relaxed and joked with Huang Wanyun to distract her attention.
In the middle of the night, Old Mrs. Huang was awakened by the slight sound of the door bolt being picked.
She was a light sleeper to begin with, and she woke up at the click of the door latch.
But she didn't say a word, but she could see clearly through the moonlight coming through the window that someone was sneaking into the room.
How could this be possible? Old Lady Huang felt for a dagger in her hand.
That was given to her by Huang Dalong before she left.
When the man reached the bedside, Old Lady Huang stabbed him with a dagger.
The man let out a scream and turned and ran away.
Huang Wanyun woke up from her dream, "Mom, what's wrong?"
Old Mrs. Huang was also extremely panicked, "A thief just broke in."
As she spoke, she quickly stood up and stumbled to close the door.
The groom appeared outside the door. "Madam, Miss, did you encounter any trouble?"
He actually slept next door just to take care of them.
Old Mrs. Huang whispered, "No, a thief just came in."
The groom was surprised and said, "Madam, you can go to sleep without worry. I'll be guarding the door."
Old Mrs. Huang and Huang Wanyun didn't act pretentiously. They just thanked him and went back to bed.
But I didn’t feel sleepy anymore, so I stayed up till dawn.
When they went downstairs to have breakfast, they found that one of the waiters was missing. Upon asking, the shopkeeper said that the waiter from yesterday had fallen down while getting up last night and had gone home to recuperate.
Old Mrs. Huang immediately realized that the thief last night was the waiter.
This matter cannot be dismissed so casually.
But Old Mrs. Huang didn't say anything. After having breakfast, she took Huang Wanyun and the coachman away.
The three men arrived at the yamen and handed over the letter written by the mayor of the town.
After a while, the bailiff came and invited them in.
Huang Wanyun was still very nervous. She held Old Lady Huang's hand tightly, her palms full of sweat.
Old Mrs. Huang was not nervous. When the bailiff invited them in, she felt relieved.
This proves that the document did work. In this case, the mayor will not make things difficult for them.
As soon as she reached the yard in front, Huang Wanyun stopped and stared blankly at the two people under the plum tree in the yard.
