Chapter 121: Delicious, I want to take a bite
"Have you ever heard the Dengwen Drum?" Xie Yingmian asked.
"After ringing the bell, the highest officials from the Ministry of Justice, the Supreme Court, and the Censorate must come to the court to accept the case and hold a joint trial."
"All you need to do is go and beat the drum to ask for permission."
Mrs. Tao had naturally heard of the Dengwen Drum.
The Dengwen Drum is different from other drums for complaining about grievances.
Just ring the bell and someone will accept the call.
However, in order to prevent abuse, the person who complained had to be beaten with thirty sticks before going to court.
Cao Meng said: "There is a heavy price to pay for beating the drum to report the incident."
"Ten years ago, I went to watch the drum being struck to file a complaint. The strong man who filed the complaint was beaten until blood was dripping from his face. He fainted before he could even make it to the trial."
"My sister-in-law is already weak. I'm afraid these thirty strokes of the cane could be fatal..."
Xie Yingmian: "This is what I'm going to say next."
"As far as I know, in order to prevent any yamen runners from being bribed and letting things slide or deliberately sabotaging the execution, the thirty lashes were divided among six yamen runners, each delivering five lashes."
"The six yamen runners were randomly assigned, their strength varies, and it's impossible to predict."
"So, I need to develop a special pill for Madam Tao."
"The effect of the pills is enough to support Mrs. Tao to complete the trial."
"After the trial is over, I will treat you and ensure your safety."
"Treatment fees, medical expenses, evidence to clear your husband's name, the cost of my testimony in court, etc., are all included in the ten thousand taels of silver."
"If you're willing, we'll sign a contract. If you're not willing, forget it."
Mrs. Tao did not answer immediately.
She lowered her head, struggling.
Xie Yingmian didn't say anything else.
Respect other people's destiny and respect other people's choices.
"I do." Mrs. Tao said resolutely.
Her parents and in-laws are all gone, and the only relatives she has left in this world are her husband and son.
The husband was wrongly accused.
If she doesn't try her best, she won't be able to face her parents-in-law in the afterlife.
My son is seriously ill and is dying.
She couldn't survive without her son and husband, so she might as well give it a try.
Do your best and leave the rest to fate. Even if the result is not good, she can rest in peace after death and explain to her deceased parents-in-law.
"Also, I've heard about your son's illness from my senior brother." Xie Yingmian said,
"If there are no accidents, I should be able to treat him. The cost of treatment is also not low, starting from five thousand taels, depending on the specific condition of his illness."
"Of course, it's not that my senior brother's medical skills are not good, it's that everyone has their own specializations."
"My senior brother is better at orthodox treatment, while I am good at difficult and complicated cases."
"If you are willing to let me treat your son, I will take his pulse today and develop a treatment plan."
"Again, if you're willing, we'll sign a contract. If you're not willing, just ignore what I said."
Mrs. Tao was almost stunned by the surprise.
What did she hear?
Miss Xie was not only able to vindicate her husband, but also cure her son's illness?
"Am I still not awake?" Mrs. Tao was stunned. "A Meng, am I dreaming?"
Cao Meng was also shocked.
"Sister-in-law, you are not dreaming."
"I heard it, too."
Mrs. Tao was stunned for a long time, and her arms were pinched until they were bruised.
The pain told her that she was not dreaming.
Mrs. Tao knelt down and kowtowed three times to Xie Yingmian, tears streaming down her face:
"Miss Xie, please, save my husband, save my son."
"No need to thank me." Xie Yingmian said, "I told you, I charge."
“We sign a contract and we act according to it.”
"The money and goods have been exchanged. I accepted the money and I am loyal to you. You don't owe me anything."
Mrs. Tao shook her head.
That being said.
But, if it really succeeds, Miss Xie will have actually saved two lives.
The lives of the two most important family members in her life cannot be measured by any amount of money.
Xie Yingmian signed three contracts with Mrs. Tao.
It's still early.
Cao Meng took Xie Yingmian to complete the inn transfer procedures.
Cao Meng obviously had some connections in the government office, and the procedures were completed quickly.
Xie Yingmian obtained the title deed to the Full Moon Inn.
Seeing the three words "Xie Yingmian" above, I feel a rare sense of security.
Being a stranger in a foreign land.
But as long as you have a title deed and a house, you will feel safe.
That inn belongs to her alone.
Belongs to her alone.
After finishing all the work, it was already afternoon.
The weather was fairly sunny in the morning.
In the afternoon, the sky was overcast and the weather suddenly turned cold.
The north wind was howling, and the cold was biting.
The thick curtains on the carriage could not keep out the cold.
"It looks like it's going to snow," Tamamo said.
"Princess, it's getting dark. Let's go back early. If it snows, the carriage will slip easily and it will be very dangerous."
"Don't worry." Xie Yingmian said, "Let's go buy some things first."
She bought a lot of ingredients suitable for hot pot.
I also bought some fruits to make drinks.
A great day to buy a house.
Of course she would treat everyone to hotpot!
Prince Ling's Mansion.
Yu Lingye is studying cassava.
When I heard we were going to have hotpot, I started looking forward to it.
After nightfall.
The weather is getting colder.
The water outside the window turned into ice and the north howled.
The house was steaming hot.
Thin slices of lamb, springy shrimp balls, chewy and delicious beef balls, fish balls, chicken balls...
There are also various dipping sauces.
A variety of sweet and delicious drinks.
On a cold winter night, eating a steaming hot pot is the best delicacy in the world.
Yumozuki and the others started a pot of soup in the yard.
Several girls are having fun together.
Xie Yingmian sat at the same table with Yu Lingye and Fu Mo, who was forcibly dragged over.
Xie Yingmian was in a good mood.
Seeing Fu Mo bring out the wine, she also drank a few glasses.
This wine has a refreshing taste and a strong aftertaste.
Xie Yingmian thought it tasted good and drank a few more cups.
The further you go, the more top-heavy you start to feel.
Later on, I started to feel dizzy.
Generally, drunk people will not admit that they are drunk.
Xie Yingmian could not escape this law.
As she got drunk, she wanted to drink more and more, one glass after another.
The large jar of wine was soon empty.
Yu Lingye couldn't bear to watch this anymore and snatched Xie Yingmian's wine glass away: "Don't drink anymore, you're drunk."
"I haven't," Xie Yingmian said. "I've taken hangover pills, so I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk."
"You're drunk."
"I really didn't, I..." Xie Yingmian wanted to stand up.
My legs lost control and I fell down limply.
Yu Lingye quickly embraced Xie Yingmian.
"Thank you." Xie Yingmian lay in Yu Lingye's arms.
She sniffed the fragrance on Yu Lingye's body: "Yu Lingye, what perfume are you using? It smells so good."
"Your face looks better from this angle."
"Hehe, it looks good and tastes good. I want to take a bite."
Yu Lingye: ...
"You're drunk."
"I told you I wasn't drunk, why didn't you believe me?" Xie Yingmian said.
"My legs are just numb. I'll be fine after standing for a while..."
Before Xie Yingmian could finish her words, she felt dizzy and dizzy.
"I feel a little sleepy and dizzy."
"I'm going to rest for a while."
Xie Yingmian wanted to stand up from Yu Lingye's arms.
Her legs were as soft as noodles and she failed to stand up. She staggered to her knees and her head hit Yu Lingye's thigh hard.
The part that was hit was too specific, and Yu Lingye gasped.
