Captain Li was so frightened that he shuddered and said weakly, "If that's the case, my wife will have to go with that hunter!"
Xiong Feng sneered, "She is responsible for the life she chooses. Since I am the parent official, I must distinguish right from wrong and make decisions for the people. Isn't that what Captain Li thinks?"
Captain Li came back to his senses and nodded frantically, "I understand. I'll have someone bring the lady to court right away."
When Niu learned that Mo Chunxiang had remarried and ran away as a widow, she was so disgusted with her that she didn't even want to teach her a lesson and personally escorted Mo Chunxiang out.
Mo Chunxiang thought Xiong Feng had a change of heart and was going to send her back to Ximen Village. But when she saw the hunter, she was almost scared to death. Without waiting for anyone to speak, she shouted, "I won't go back, I won't go back! My son, save me! My son, save me!"
With a "Pa!" sound, Niu slapped Mo Chunxiang hard and shouted, "What do you mean son or no son? What son does a widow who remarried have? I think you are as stupid as a pig. Originally, I wanted to marry you off, but now it seems that I was managing the wrong person.
It's all your fault! If you had told me earlier that you had remarried, I wouldn't have done it! You've been bearing this bad reputation for so long in vain!"
Mo Chunxiang was stunned by Niu's shamelessness. She had been living in dire straits these days and was beaten by Niu almost every day. But Niu turned around and said it was her fault all the time.
This is too much!
"You old hag, you shall not die a horrible death!" Mo Chunxiang spat at Niu while yelling and cursing wildly.
It's just unbearable to watch.
Su Yongzhang did not hide his disdain and said to the hunter, "Now that everything is clear, Mrs. Mo will be returned to you. Since the old lady accidentally injured Mrs. Mo without knowing it, I will order her to compensate her with ten taels of silver. Are you willing?"
"Yes, yes." The hunter was overjoyed.
He originally thought that it would be good enough if he could bring back Mo Chunxiang, and he didn't dare to expect any compensation at all. Ten taels of silver were enough for him to use for two or three years, and it was really a huge windfall.
Mo Chunxiang was very anxious and struggled frantically, "I don't agree, I don't want to go back with him, I want to go back to the Xiong family, Feng'er, you can't abandon mother, you can't be so cruel, please save mother."
The hunter quickly stuffed a piece of rag into Mo Chunxiang's mouth, tied her hands and feet, and carried her on his shoulders.
The movements were done in one go, and it was obvious that he had done this kind of thing many times.
Moreover, the other party was used to carrying prey, so he looked very relaxed while carrying Mo Chunxiang.
Niu was greatly shocked, and after she came to her senses, she asked her maid to bring her ten taels of silver.
The hunter got the silver and successfully found his wife. He left with a big smile on his face. His joyful look made the onlookers feel complicated.
Su Yongzhang stood up and bowed to Niu, "Madam, is my judgment okay?"
Niu smiled at him comfortingly, "What's the problem? I originally thought that although she was worthless, she was married into our Xiong family anyway. I was afraid that this shameless thing would cause trouble after I died in the future, so I tried my best to make her right. I never expected that this bitch would remarry.
Since she has a new husband's family, she should go back to her new husband's family. Your judgment is fair and just, and I have to thank you!"
Niu said that it was worth spending the money to solve a problem, and she would be happy to spend ten more taels of silver.
When Su Yongzhang saw that Niu was happy, he felt relieved.
This was no secret and word spread quickly.
After the people learned of the government's verdict, they praised the newly appointed county magistrate and county magistrate, saying that they were selfless officials who put the people first.
The people, who had originally been worried about the character of the new county magistrate and county chancellor, now completely put their minds at ease.
This unexpected gain greatly boosted Su Yongzhang's confidence and he became more proactive in his work.
After the news reached Ximen Village.
Mo Dali was somewhat depressed.
Huang advised, "Your sister was born unlucky. If she had been honest and down-to-earth, her life would never be like this. I thought Xiong Feng would be an official and would be able to take care of her for the rest of her life, but I didn't expect her to remarry! This is cutting off her own path to wealth and honor! I really don't know what she is thinking!"
Everyone knew that Mo Chunxiang couldn't have another child due to a difficult labor. In this situation, she didn't treat her only son as her own, but ignored him. Later, she got married without saying a word and didn't take the Xiong family seriously at all.
Now that she sees her son returning home in glory, she wants to hide it from the world and recognize him back. How can such a good thing happen in the world?
The more Mo Dali listened, the more upset he became. "Stop talking. Mo Chunxiang's affairs have nothing to do with us from now on. I'm going to go see Dad."
As soon as he pushed the door open, Mo Dali met Mo Laotian's sad, tearful eyes.
"Dad, you heard it all."
Mo Dali used an affirmative tone and had no intention of practicing Tai Chi with Mo Laotian at all.
Mo Laotian stretched out his hand tremblingly, "Boss, she is your sister. Help her."
Mo Dali roared, "When she remarried, did she ever think of me as her big brother? She sneaked back and hid from us. Did she think of me as her big brother? From the beginning to the end, she didn't have me in her eyes. It was you! It was you who kept asking me to help her!
This time her husband has found the government, what should I do with the couple's affairs? Besides, the hunter is not a local at all, where can I find him? Where can I go to help? Dad, I beg you not to hurt me! I have a wife and children, I can't do whatever I want! Don't mention Mo Chunxiang's affairs again in the future."
If Mo Laotian hadn't always forced him to go to the county government office to see Mo Chunxiang, he wouldn't have wanted to say this.
If he makes things clear now, Mo Laotian won't force him to go to the county government office at every turn in the future.
Mo Dali turned around and went out without any hesitation.
Mo Laotian gradually became disheartened.
He was already at the end of his strength, and was holding on for Mo Chunxiang. Now that his strength was gone, he passed away in the middle of the night.
Mo Dali was not too sad. He and Huang arranged the funeral and buried the body the next day.
Now that Mo Laotian is gone, no one will care about Mo Chunxiang's life or death anymore.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day for Su Tai and Chen Yuezhang to set off.
Shen Yuezhang's dowry alone filled nearly a hundred ox carts. Large cabinets, beds, screens, dressing tables, etc. filled nearly twenty carts. There were also many precious jade articles, from large ornaments to tea bowls for making tea, all made of jade.
There are also various fabrics, head coverings, clothes, shoes, bedding, and various rare foods and snacks. Everything a woman needs to live in her husband's family is prepared.
These are not all. Su Tai plans to purchase more when he arrives in the imperial capital.
The caravan arrived at the county town.
The Su family members who had been waiting here early came forward to say goodbye to the mother and daughter reluctantly.
Han hugged Shen Yuezhang tightly and choked up, "You are married so far away, it is difficult for your grandmother to see you. In the imperial capital, listen to your parents, take good care of yourself, give birth to a son as soon as possible, and make your mother-in-law happy, then you won't have a hard time."
