The eldest looked at Han Luoxue in confusion: "I remember my mother didn't have a family."
If her mother had connections, how could her father have dared to beat her to death?
“Your mother was abducted. Her home should be in the same village as mine. Don’t worry, I’ll take you there. If you don’t want to stay with your grandmother, you can come and stay with me.”
The little ones were relieved to hear that Han Luoxue hadn't abandoned them.
"lady."
A servant boy ran in, holding a letter in his hand.
Han Luoxue took the letter and found it was from Le'an County. She'd only just returned, and there was already news from there?
Upon opening it, Han Luoxue smiled coldly. Truly, evil has its retribution.
The order was given to imprison the yamen runners and the county magistrate together.
At first, they were wary of the county magistrate, knowing he had connections, and dared not offend him, even obeying his orders.
The magistrate knew that the man had caused the incident and that they would be in trouble, so he ordered his constables to teach the man a lesson.
A group of strong and burly yamen runners attacked and nearly beat the little girl's father to death.
But that's not the scariest part.
Those men were all yamen runners, and they knew how to use force effectively. They knew how to hit someone hard without killing them.
That man was beaten more than a dozen times in one day. He was in so much pain that he was trembling all over. He wished he could die, but he couldn't.
Later, someone accidentally hit the fat magistrate.
The fat magistrate, used to being arrogant, slapped him hard across the face.
The man thought to himself that he might not even be able to get out, so how could he indulge the county magistrate? He immediately slapped the magistrate several times, and everyone enjoyed the sound.
They beat the magistrate's pig head until it swelled up even more.
He was overweight and hadn't exercised for years, so he wasn't very strong.
He was completely powerless against the constable who was several sizes younger than him.
He was in so much pain he cried for help. A bodyguard came over, saw the pitiful magistrate, and sneered:
"Um?"
"I want to go out."
"Heh, you think you can get out of here now?"
The guard gave a disdainful smile, and the magistrate, flustered, hurriedly spoke up:
"I have connections."
"Someone's here?" The guard looked him over disdainfully and sneered.
"Who are your men? The current emperor? Heh, but even if the current emperor came, it wouldn't matter. Do you know whose men are the ones who arrested you?"
How could the magistrate have known?
He just wanted to live a quiet life as a local tyrant, but who would have thought he would be arrested?
This isn't an important place, why is that stinky woman taking it so seriously?
He had already thought about it and would take good care of that county princess!
"Do you think the Emperor will interfere with Prince Zhen's decision now?"
Although the magistrate was not very clear about the situation in the capital, he knew that with the Crown Prince missing, Prince Zhen was the best candidate to become the next Crown Prince.
How could I have offended Prince Zhen? But he didn't do anything, so how did I offend him?
The guards left; the constables had overheard their conversation.
Knowing that Prince Zhen had personally intervened in their matter, everyone turned ashen-faced. They might never be able to leave again.
If King Zhen really wanted to get rid of them, did he need a reason?
That county magistrate! They used to fear his revenge, but now…
They might not even make it out alive, so why be polite to the magistrate?
The county magistrate and that man became the targets of this man's venting again.
He was badly beaten, but he's still not dead.
The letter asked if we should do something about it.
Han Luoxue gave a mocking smile; she hadn't said she was going to kill those two people.
Why bother? Just let them fend for themselves.
...
Hutouya Village.
"Have you heard? Han Luoxue's man ran off with another woman."
Where there are people, there is gossip. Even a few individual families in the village have dozens of people.
After the rain, they felt hopeful for the future.
The rest of the families were extremely busy, some at the breeding farm, and others on the land contracted by Han Luoxue.
Even the elderly, women, and children were in Han Mingyuan's yard, making sweet potato-related things.
That thing doesn't look very appealing; aren't they afraid of killing someone by eating it?
And when they cook pork or something, you can smell the aroma from a long distance.
They were so tempted they wanted to snatch it, but unfortunately they didn't have the guts.
These families were filled with envy and jealousy, but the villagers wouldn't give them a chance to go back.
They were just gossiping about the village, especially about Han Luoxue.
In their minds, it was Han Luoxue's pettiness that caused them to suffer like this.
"Really?"
"What else can we do? Look how long she's been looking for people, and there's still no news."
"Speaking of which, Han Luoxue is really pitiful. She married a son-in-law who was not only ugly, but he also ran away with someone else."
"I've seen that woman; she's incredibly beautiful and radiant."
These people were speaking quite loudly; they were deliberately trying to make sure the villagers could hear them.
Aunt Xu wanted to step forward and say a few words, but Yunniang stopped her!
"Ignore them, just treat it like dogs barking."
If you talk to this kind of person, they will become even more arrogant and ungrateful.
"But what did they say about Xueya?"
"Go ahead and say it. Xueya will be back soon."
"Mother, is my sister really coming back soon?"
Han Mengze has grown taller, and he comes over to help. The little guy is very sensible and well-behaved.
"Yes, and she brought four older sisters with her."
"Yunniang, you mean?"
Aunt Xu's eyes reddened with excitement. She wanted to go to the capital to see her daughter's child. However, she couldn't go alone. She never expected Han Luoxue to be so thoughtful as to bring the child back.
