Chapter 1021 The Refined Scholar
The case ended badly. When Lin Yuesha came down the mountain, she told Wuya about the case in detail. In fact, she thought that Sun Baiwan had tacitly agreed to the Sun family's actions, but she did not expect that Sun Baiwan was completely unaware of it.
To say that Sun Baiwan had no feelings for Xique is not true; the two were already engaged and had a deep affection for each other.
While in the army, Sun Baiwan frequently wrote letters home and sent things, and magpies were always among the recipients, all of which were kept by Sun's family.
"The magpie hasn't replied, hasn't Sun Baiwan suspected anything?"
Uya had a very bad impression of Sun Xiangxiang, which was probably related to the Sun family's upbringing.
"The magpie is illiterate, so it always asks the Sun family to bring it shoes, socks and clothes."
However, even the shoes and socks that were sent away were labeled in Sun Xiangxiang's name, and the Sun family did not mention the magpie at all.
In short, the Sun family was the main reason why the magpie met its end.
"The Sun family deserves it!"
Uya had no sympathy for the Sun family. Anyway, things had come to this point, and Sun Baiwan suddenly realized the truth. He always felt guilty towards Xique. If he had been more attentive, he would never have gone for years without noticing.
Perhaps Sun Baiwan had already sensed something was wrong, but within his tolerance limits, he didn't want to argue with his family.
Now that the consequences have turned out badly, Sun Baiwan is destined to become estranged from the Sun family.
After descending the mountain, Lin Yuesha remained dizzy and unable to accept the fact that she had been deceived.
For some reason, perhaps brainwashed by the old monk, she still believed that he was a wise and sage.
If it were all nonsense, why were the dates she traveled to so accurately predicted? Even if it were fabricated, it wouldn't be such a coincidence.
Upon returning from Yutan Temple, Lin Yuesha heard about the aftermath of the incident. Sun Baiwan had sent his family back to the village and dismissed the servants. Even Huang Ying, after being beaten, regained her freedom, which could be considered a blessing in disguise.
Sun Baiwan intended to plead for Magpie's life, but little did he know that Magpie herself was carrying snake venom and committed suicide by poisoning herself in prison that night.
Upon receiving this result, Sun Baiwan was very depressed and disheartened. He resigned from his official post, handed over his men, and disappeared the next day.
"Young mistress, Huang Ying requests an audience."
Outside the door, one of Qi Heng's men was running errands to deliver a message. After regaining her freedom, Huang Ying wanted to seek refuge with Lin Yuesha. Having learned that Lin Yuesha was in Chenjia Village, she hurriedly packed her bags and went to find her.
"not see."
Lin Yuesha was decisive. She understood Huang Ying's intentions, but this wasn't a scrap metal recycling station.
Sun Xiangxiang may have a bad temper, but that doesn't mean Huang Ying, as a servant, should have had such thoughts. Being instigated is not an excuse for her to make a mistake.
As a servant, the most important thing is to be loyal and reliable. It is inevitable that you will be punished for making mistakes. But if you hold a grudge against your master and collude with outsiders to cheat, who can stand that?
Keeping such a maid around is a recipe for disaster.
After a while, the servant came again with a message. Huang Ying pleaded desperately, saying that she had nowhere to go and begged Lin Yuesha to take her in, even if it meant working by the sea.
This roundabout strategy could not be hidden from Lin Yuesha, who immediately sent people to drive Huang Ying away.
Why did Huang Ying approach her? Was it because she was easy to talk to, or because she heard that Huang Ying had a noble destiny?
Regardless, Lin Yuesha wouldn't want a maid with a criminal record.
After this matter was concluded, the Mid-Autumn Festival arrived on the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month.
Early in the morning, Lin Yuesha began preparing ingredients. She was going to cook a table full of authentic home-style dishes to celebrate the reunion.
At noon, Xu Da's father, Lord Xu, finally arrived in the prefectural city.
Madam Xu took Xu Da to greet them. Wu Ya was pregnant, so Madam Xu didn't want her to go through all that trouble and told her to stay in the courtyard and wait.
"Cousin, what should I say when I see my father-in-law?"
Uya's voice trembled; she was very nervous at that moment.
Having not yet met her father-in-law, Lord Xu, Wuya was worried that he might not be satisfied with her.
"Uncle Xu is humorous, witty, and approachable."
Lin Yuesha understood Wuya's nervousness, but there was really no need for it, since Madam Xu had always been in charge of the Xu family.
"You'll have to meet them sooner or later; even an ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her in-laws."
Lin Yuesha made a few teasing remarks, and Wuya laughed, "You know what, I really do have that feeling."
An hour later, the Xu family of three entered the courtyard.
Lord Xu tried to hold Madam Xu's hand, but Madam Xu pushed him aside and scolded, "We're an old married couple, what are you doing?"
Why can't you do things in your room? You're making a fool of yourself in front of your juniors.
Lord Xu, having been misunderstood, wore a pained expression. He lifted the large fish, which weighed over ten kilograms, and explained, "My lady, I am just a weak scholar, unable to carry anything. I've been carrying this fish all the way here!"
Lord Xu only intended to slip the rope into his wife's hand during the handshake, hoping she would do the hard labor for him. However, his plan was seen through, and Madam Xu pulled away, thwarting his scheme.
"Then just say you can't lift it, instead of resorting to underhanded tactics."
Upon seeing this, Madam Xu laughed and said, "That's why I say don't deal with scholars. Every time, I subtly imply that you can't understand without some learning."
Mrs. Xu introduced Wuya and then talked about the funny things that happened when the couple first got married.
Why are you bringing this up?
Lord Xu's face flushed slightly; in front of his daughter-in-law, he always had to save face for her.
How did you know what I was going to say?
Madam Xu came from a family of military generals and detested classical Chinese writing.
On their wedding night, her husband suddenly became inspired to write poetry and a lengthy essay. When he tried to take Madam Xu for a romantic evening, she was already fast asleep and even started snoring.
Thus, the wedding night ended with Madam Xu sleeping and Lord Xu reciting poems.
"Mom, did my father say something you couldn't understand?"
Having uncovered his father's private affairs, Xu Da rubbed his hands together, adopting an attitude of listening attentively.
Anyway, ever since he can remember, his father has been thoroughly disciplined by his mother.
“A great many.”
Mrs. Xu nodded firmly, which led to many misunderstandings and jokes.
Once, a female relative of the Xu family was coming to visit. She was Madam Xu's cousin. Upon hearing this, Lord Xu immediately said shyly that he needed to go change his clothes.
Madam Xu felt a pang of bitterness and was extremely unhappy.
Initially, it was Mrs. Xu's cousin who had proposed marriage to her husband, but the two did not end up together.
The Xu family was a family of scholars and farmers, and they did not live in the capital. My cousin looked down on the Xu family's social status.
Because of this relationship, Madam Xu was somewhat unhappy. She had never known that her husband cared so much about his image. After she sent her cousin away, her husband did not appear.
Madam Xu found Lord Xu in the study and discovered that he was still wearing the same clothes and was reading a book.
"Didn't you go to change your clothes?"
When Madam Xu questioned him, it was Lord Xu who was completely bewildered.
After much arguing, Mrs. Xu finally understood that changing clothes meant going to the toilet, or rather, taking a defecation.
Going to the toilet is just going to the toilet, simple and clear. But she insisted on using elegant language, which Madam Xu didn't understand. She got jealous and was angry with her husband. Of course, she would definitely blame her husband for this.
