Chapter 99: What a Prodigal Son Returns
Lu Wanning lowered her eyes and shook her head after a moment, "Not the prefect."
When she walked out of the clinic, Yan Mingchang was drinking tea.
He seemed to be surprised that she had finished so quickly. He looked over with surprise and astonishment, "Are you done yet?"
"Not yet." Lu Wanning smiled at him, "Maybe there's something I need your help with."
Yan Mingchang was naturally very willing to help her, so he immediately stood up and said, "Doctor Lu, just tell me."
Lu Wanning waved at him, "Second Young Master, follow me in."
this……
Yan Mingchang looked somewhat uncomfortably at the shopkeeper Wu who kept glancing over here from time to time.
He cleared his throat and followed Lu Wanning into the clinic nervously.
But as soon as he walked in, he saw the woman sitting in front still crying.
Yan Mingchang took a while to react and realized that he really didn't see any patient walk out just now.
After bringing Yan Mingchang back, Lu Wanning said, "This is the official from the Ministry of Justice. I don't know where else to file a complaint about the things you mentioned, except to the prefect. If you want to speak, tell this official all the crimes of the person you mentioned. Perhaps he can help you find a way out."
"But one thing, don't lie."
After hearing her say this, Yan Mingchang probably knew what was going on.
He was not in a hurry. He sat on the chair next to him and pursed his lips and said, "Is there an injustice against Madam?"
Although he still couldn't understand why this man, who came to see a doctor, would get involved in such matters, since Lu Wanning had spoken, he didn't ask any more questions.
The woman hesitated again and again, then looked up at Yan Mingchang. Perhaps it was because he looked upright that she finally made up her mind.
He sobbed and told his story.
This woman was from the capital. She married her husband five years ago. The couple loved each other very much and gave birth to a daughter the following year.
Last year, my husband accidentally broke his leg while chopping firewood in the mountains. He happened to hear that the Hu Mansion was recruiting a cook. In order to supplement the family income, the woman went to work at the Hu Mansion.
But she never expected that the second master of the Hu family was a lustful man who fell in love with her and forced her to have sex with him.
The woman was unwilling, so she quit her job at Hu's house and fled back home overnight. Unexpectedly, Hu Er followed her home and threatened to throw her child to death if she did not agree.
For the sake of her child, the woman had no choice but to endure the humiliation and obey Hu Er.
But who would have thought that Hu Er seemed to have found it quite amusing and would go to see her from time to time.
This matter was finally known to the woman's husband, and they had a big quarrel, but the husband still loved her and wanted to take her and their daughter away from the capital and go far away.
Unexpectedly, just when the two of them had agreed on the time to leave, Hu Er heard about this matter from somewhere, came to her house and broke her husband's legs.
She didn't want to endure it any longer, so she filed a complaint with the prefect. However, the prefect, who had received some kind of benefit from Hu Er, was not only unaware of his own suffering when he heard her talk about the suffering she had endured, but also mocked her for being greedy for fame and fortune, and for being in love with the beast Hu Er.
After that day, Hu Er not only used her husband and children to threaten her more severely, but also perversely humiliated her in front of her husband.
She wanted to die, but she was afraid that Hu Er would not let her husband and children go after her death.
Her husband has a broken leg now and needs someone to take care of him. How could she be so cruel as to just leave?
After she finished sobbing, Yan Mingchang was very angry.
When Yan Mingchang was halfway through listening, he thought that this matter was not his responsibility, but his face suddenly darkened at the end.
"Which Hu family are you talking about?"
"My Lord, it's Hu Kang, the one at the entrance of Erfang Lane."
Yan Mingchang agreed, "I understand. I will investigate. If this is true, I will give you justice."
The woman's eyes trembled. Even though she didn't know whether the man in front of her could really help her, she still knelt down and thanked him, "Thank you, sir."
The medicine had already been prescribed, and the woman took the prescription and went outside to find a waiter to get the medicine. Suddenly, only Lu Wanning and Yan Mingchang were left in the clinic.
Lu Wanning felt a little embarrassed, "Is this matter causing trouble for you?"
Yan Mingchang shook his head. "I'm not just in charge of murder cases. This isn't a big deal, but it's not a small one either. If it's true as she said, that the prefect is helping the strong bully the weak, then she wouldn't be the only victim. Who knows how many others have suffered in secret."
Yan Er's face was gloomy, and he was obviously disgusted by this kind of bullying.
Seeing him like this, Lu Wanning smiled and said, "Second Master Yan is no different from what I thought before."
Yan Er raised his eyes, and the anger just now disappeared in an instant. His cheeks, which had become a little tanned recently, instantly showed a slight blush, but it was not visible clearly.
"What kind of person should I be in Doctor Lu's mind?"
"Old-fashioned, upright, and meticulous in official business, but not inflexible."
Of course, there was one thing Lu Wanning didn’t say, which is that she is sometimes a little childish.
I don’t know if this is a common problem among men or what.
From time to time, she would feel that Qi Muchao was extremely childish, like a three-year-old child.
Yan Er scratched his head and then remembered why he came here.
"The little girl is one month old. There will be a full-moon banquet the day after tomorrow. Shu'er asked me to invite you to come to her house and have a seat."
Lu Wanning nodded immediately after hearing this. "I'll go. Has the little one been named yet?"
"Jiaojiao." Yan Mingchang was obviously not satisfied with the name. In his opinion, a more sonorous and powerful name would help to guard against villains in the future. Yan Shu's nickname was not sonorous enough, so she was always talking about love and affection and was coaxed and deceived by men.
He looked a little funny, but fortunately Lu Wanning managed to hold it back.
However, she thought of the gossip about the capital that Hongling told her yesterday.
It is said that Yan Shu's illegitimate husband in the Tongping Marquis's Mansion went to the Yan family to apologize after Yan Shu gave birth.
He was truly asking for forgiveness by carrying a stick on his back, with his upper body naked and a wooden stick tied to his back, which was really a fun thing for others to watch.
The Yan family felt it was too embarrassing, so they closed the door and simply ignored it.
It is said that Yan Shu's husband knelt for a long time, and the Marquis of Tongping, who was so angry that he felt dizzy, sent someone to take him back.
Before leaving, he kept saying that he would come again.
This is truly a story of the prodigal son returning home.
Fortunately, the Yan family could see clearly that since the full moon banquet was held at the Yan family, there was probably no intention to let Yan Shu reconcile with that man.
"Are those two kittens doing well?"
Seeing her in a daze, Yan Er thought she didn't know what to say to him, so he racked his brains for a long time and finally found a topic.
