Chapter 062 Chapter 62

Han Xiaoshuang's voice was choked with sobs, and she said in a very harsh tone: "After my sister was chosen by the goddess, she never came back, and her life or death was unknown. But my parents didn't worry about her at all. Instead, they were happy because she was the first person to be chosen, and regarded it as a great honor."

"That day on the street in Shifang Town, you fell in the snow. Did you escape?" Yuan Ming asked.

Han Xiaoshuang nodded: "The day before, the village held a sacrifice and chose me. They were going to sacrifice me to the goddess during this year's Spring Festival. I was very scared, so I ran away when my parents were not paying attention."

"Since it's a matter of Hanan Village, why do you say it has something to do with my husband?"

"I didn't lie to you!" Han Xiaoshuang hurriedly defended herself: "I heard the missionaries talking that day. They are now priests in the village. They said that those women who were abandoned by their husbands were unlucky people and believers abandoned by the goddess. Your husband saving them is against God's will."

Yuan Ming couldn't help laughing, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

"You unruly people!"

Han Xiaoshuang lowered her head: "I don't want to go back, and I don't want to become a sacrifice."

Yuan Ming didn't say anything for a long time. Yang Tao couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He looked at him eagerly: "Yuan Ming, I have never asked you for anything. Can you help her this time? In the future, as long as you need me, I am willing to go through fire and water."

Yuan Ming did not directly answer yes or no, but looked at Han Xiaoshuang: "What do you want to do?"

"I know Mr. Yuan is very busy. I just hope you can help me talk to the town guard and ask him to send yamen runners to the village to investigate." Han Xiaoshuang said: "I have no evidence, but I know where to find evidence."

Yuan Ming couldn't help but look at her with admiration.

Faced with a situation where she was doomed to die, Han Xiaoshuang not only did not resign herself to her fate, but bravely ran out, stood in front of him and spoke with reason and logic, and even thought of a way out.

"I can take you to see the town keeper." Yuan Ming said.

Han Xiaoshuang showed ecstasy on her face and knelt down again.

"Mr. Yuan, I am willing to repay you for your kindness."

Yang Tao also knelt beside her and smiled foolishly at Yuan Ming.

"Don't be happy yet. I have met the town keeper several times, but whether he is willing to help depends on your ability."

Han Xiaoshuang nodded repeatedly.

They came out of the reception hall one after another and met several pairs of curious eyes.

"Husband, what did you say when you went in?" Ji Qingyue walked up to Yuan Ming and asked.

Yuan Ming touched his head and explained, "This girl Han is in some trouble and wants to contact the town governor through me."

He then looked at the other members of the Yang family.

"Do Uncle Yang and Aunt Yang know about the incident in Hanan Village?"

Yang Dali and Li Qing'e looked at each other and nodded.

"We just found out about it. It's our fault. We didn't tell you in advance and brought her here. I was inconsiderate."

Yuan Ming knew that the Yang family was kind-hearted. After hearing about Han Xiaoshuang's experience, they would definitely want to help her, not to mention that their son had other thoughts about the girl.

"It's okay, I don't mean to blame you."

Only Yang Chao was confused, shaking his head: "What's the matter? Why do you all seem to know but I don't?"

Yuan Ming raised his eyebrows: "Let Brother Yang tell you."

Yang Tao nodded and pulled his silly brother to the corner.

"Okay, okay, now that everything is clear, let's eat." Ji Qingyue blinked.

"Okay!"

Song Yan asked everyone to go to the kitchen to serve dishes and rice, and soon a full table was set in the living room.

Seeing so many delicious foods, Li Qing'e's lips curled up. This was a sign that Yuan Ming valued them. She complained in her heart: "Why did you make so much? If we can't finish it, wouldn't it be a waste?"

"It's just that there are many varieties and the portions are quite small. Several big masters will definitely be able to finish them!" Ji Qingyue said.

Yuan Ming went out of his way to buy a pot of wine, and pushed the first cup in front of Yang Dali: "My mother is alone in the village with no relatives or friends, and it is thanks to Uncle Yang who helps her everywhere. This cup is for you!"

Yang Dali smiled so hard that his face turned red, and he drank the cup of wine and said: "It is normal for neighbors to help each other. I have long said that you have a bright future. Yang Tao and Yang Chao will have to rely on you in the future!"

"Of course!"

Yang Dali raised his head and drank the wine, smacking his lips: "Good wine! It tastes different!"

Li Qing'e scolded: "Drink slowly."

"Yes, yes, good wine should be savored slowly. I'll eat the dishes and taste Brother Yue'er's cooking!"

Ji Qingyue smiled playfully: "Uncle Yang, can you taste which dish I made?"

Yang Dali stared at the dishes on the table, feeling a little embarrassed.

Yang Chao said: "Well, if you guess one correctly, I'll let you drink a glass of wine."

Yang Dali's eyes lit up immediately, and he was eager to try.

The next time, Yang Dali and Yang Chao, father and son, were almost arguing, and the table was rarely lively and harmonious.

Yuan Ming leaned close to Ji Qingyue's ear and whispered, "If I can guess correctly, what will my husband give me as a reward?"

He took a sip of wine, and the hot air he exhaled mixed with the smell of alcohol sprayed on Ji Qingyue's earlobe, making him feel a little intoxicated.

The young husband's neck was a little red. At this time, there were many people in the same room with them. He was afraid that others would notice something, so he suddenly became anxious and gently pushed Yuan Ming's arm.

His strength was not enough to push Yuan Ming, but Yuan Ming followed his strength and moved away. After all, if the young husband was really upset, it would be a loss.

After dinner, Yuan Ming took them for a walk in the yard.

Every room was heated by a floor heater, and it was so warm that wearing a thick robe made him feel overheated.

Taking off his outer robe, Yang Dali sighed, "It's still more comfortable to live in the town."

"The business of Yang Erge's noodle shop is very good. I believe he will be able to buy a house in the town in a few years." Yuan Ming complimented him. Yang Dali

joked, "I don't count on them. We will be thankful if they live a good life and don't let us two old people worry about them."

Everyone laughed.

They left before it got dark.

Yuan Ming and Ji Qingyue came to the bedroom of the new house. Lying on a bed that was twice as big as before, Ji Qingyue squinted comfortably.

"That's great!"

Yuan Ming lay down beside him and kissed his forehead: "It will be better in the future."

Ji Qingyue smiled, and after a while, suddenly said: "By the way, husband hasn't told you what Miss Han wants you to do?"

Yuan Ming glanced at him, thought about it, and still didn't hide it. He said everything, including what Han Xiaoshuang said that might be unfavorable to Ji Qingyue.

Ji Qingyue is not a flower in a greenhouse, and she doesn't need to hide under his wings.

After he finished speaking, he saw a red spot at the end of Ji Qingyue's eyes.

"How can they be so mean! Those women who were abandoned and bullied by their husbands are already pitiful enough, and they still say that they are ominous people abandoned by the goddess. Isn't this asking for their lives!"

Yuan Ming hugged him and comforted him softly: "Fortunately, Han Xiaoshuang is very sober. I believe she can change her fate."

"But your husband is going to take the exam soon, and he shouldn't be disturbed by these things." Ji Qingyue raised her head worriedly.

Yuan Ming nodded: "Don't worry, I know my limits."

I don't plan to get involved in the affairs of Hanan Village. Han Xiaoshuang said that she only needs to be taken to see the town guard, and the rest will be left to her to solve.

Besides... Yuan Ming narrowed his eyes.

He spent more than ten years in the Hanlin Academy and was later assigned to the examination paper review group. He had seen hundreds of examination papers of various sizes, and he knew everything about how to write an examination paper that would satisfy the examiner.

After the morning class the next day, Yuan Ming walked out of the school and saw Yang Tao's ox cart under the tree.

"When did you come? Have you been waiting for a long time?" Yuan Ming asked.

Yang Tao smiled bitterly: "We came this morning. I don't know where the people in Hanan Village got the news and have taken people to the village to look for Miss Han. We quickly took a small road and hid in the town first."

Yuan Ming got on the ox cart and sat next to Yang Tao without entering the shed: "Let's go, let's go to the town government."

"Thank you, Mr. Yuan." Han Xiaoshuang leaned against the small window of the shed and said sincerely.

"I can only guarantee that you can see the town guard, the rest depends on you."

"I understand!"

Yuan Ming's lunch break time was limited, and the ox cart sped all the way and soon arrived at the gate of the town government.

Two yamen runners were guarding the door, with knives hanging from their waists. They trotted over and shouted, "What are you doing? You can't park here. Beat the drum and go to the court in front to appeal."
