Zhang You and Dongmei slipped out quietly through the small door without being noticed.
They took a small path around her, and Dongmei took her to avoid being noticed by anyone.
The two men stood at the corner outside the yamen's side room, looking at the situation inside.
This place is secret and won't be discovered by people inside.
The people inside have been replaced by Yang Li's men.
The constable who was supposed to be standing inside was sent away by a young doctor who came in, saying that she was a woman and it was not appropriate for a man to be present.
Old Liu and his wife stood next to Liu and looked at her with concern.
The doctor carefully felt Liu's pulse, then asked his boy to hand her a pill, saying it was a ginseng pill, and asked Liu to take it.
After a while, Liu slowly woke up.
She opened her eyes confusedly and looked around the unfamiliar environment.
The pain in her heart belatedly reminded her of what had just happened.
She soon sank into the ocean of sorrow again, unable to find a lifeline.
"Women, don't worry too much. You are already three months pregnant. You should make plans for the baby in your womb."
The doctor's words shocked everyone inside and outside the house.
Zhang You widened his eyes in disbelief.
Her husband died and she had a child.
This is too painful.
When Liu heard the doctor's words, she was stunned for a moment.
She was stunned for a long time before slowly reaching out to touch her abdomen.
She is pregnant.
They finally have a child...
But, he is gone...
She shed two lines of tears silently.
He stared at the ground with empty eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
Mr. and Mrs. Liu were shocked and then happy.
The Liu family has an heir...
The doctor looked at their reactions with satisfaction, then slowly stated his purpose.
"I am Lord Yang's man, and Lord Yang asked me to bring a message to you.
Are you really going to go against the Tuozhou prefect for a dead man? Moreover, you have an unborn child. Do you really want to use your insignificant lives to try to sway Lord Yang?
I advise you all: those who know the current situation are heroes. If you leave it at that, Lord Yang will provide you with a sum of money, enough for you and your descendants to live a peaceful life. However, if you insist on suing Young Master Yang, then what awaits you... will be endless revenge."
The doctor looked cold-blooded, as if this was not his quilt, but just a lowly commoner.
The doctor who was supposed to be saving lives was speaking cold and ruthless words of threat.
It's really unworthy of being a doctor.
Zhang You looked at this sudden change and felt that something was wrong.
She turned her head and signaled Dongmei with her eyes: What should we do next?
Dongmei shook her head slightly and mouthed "I don't know."
The inside has been controlled by Yang Li's men, and they have no way to stop it.
What's more, Liu was pregnant. As a woman, and a woman who lost her husband at a young age, it would be very difficult for her to raise her child alone.
As long as she agreed to Yang Li's request, not only would her child be able to grow up safely, but their family would also no longer have to worry about making a living.
From a practical point of view, this is undoubtedly the best solution.
Mr. and Mrs. Liu probably thought the same thing.
Having lived to this age, they naturally know how difficult it is to raise a child, and they also know that they, as commoners, cannot defeat powerful adults like them.
If they want to survive, they have no choice but to accept it.
Old Liu spoke to comfort Liu: "Daughter-in-law, accept it. You are now pregnant with Tie Niu's child. You are going to be a mother, and you have to think about your own child."
Aunt Liu also agreed. Although she also wanted to seek justice for her son, she was going to be a grandmother and she couldn't drag her whole family to die.
Her voice was choked with sobs. "Daughter-in-law, your father is right. We have to consider the baby in our belly."
She patted Liu's back gently to comfort her.
Liu just lowered her head, touched her belly again and again with her hands, and remained silent.
Mr. and Mrs. Liu were about to agree, and even made an agreement with the doctor on how to get the money later. Mrs. Liu just listened quietly, very calmly, as if accepting their arrangement.
Zhang You felt very disappointed when he saw this.
It's over.
Was instigated.
After Dongmei saw that they had finalized the cooperation, she picked up Xia He and rushed back quickly.
They sneaked back through the small door and were about to report to Qiao Si.
But Qiao Si was sitting in the court, too conspicuous, and he would be exposed if he went up rashly.
Zhang You suddenly had an inspiration. She took out pearl powder from her arms and walked forward.
COS makeup artist.
Perfect.
At first, everyone was curious about why someone came to Qiao Si's place, but when they looked closely, they saw that she was going to touch up her makeup. They just complained about Qiao Si's pampered appearance as a princess and didn't suspect anything.
Taking advantage of his advantageous position with his back to the lobby, Zhang You approached Qiao Si and briefly told him what had happened, hoping that Qiao Si could make plans early.
Qiao Si smiled slightly and whispered, "I have my own way, don't worry."
Seeing Qiao Si's confident look, Zhang You also felt relieved.
She finished applying pearl powder on her cheeks and then stepped back.
As soon as she returned to the team at the back, Dongmei looked at her with surprise and admiration: "That's amazing! How did you think of going up to help the princess fix her makeup and pass on the message? You're so smart!"
Chunhua and the others were also surprised by her action.
Zhang You felt a little embarrassed by their praise.
This sudden flash of inspiration is indeed excellent.
They didn't make any big moves, so no one noticed them.
After just a cup of tea, Liu and the others returned.
The trial continues.
The gavel rang out, and Tan Yi spoke first: "My Lady, my Lord, you all heard what Liu Erzhu said just now. My son compensated the deceased that day, and the deceased accepted it and did not pursue the matter further. This can be considered as saving the deceased from his sins. How can you still accuse my son of a crime?"
The people in the hall had already been discussing the matter, and now they were divided into two factions. One faction believed that Yang Chi'an should be put to death for bullying others; the other faction believed that he had indeed compensated the deceased and should not be convicted. These two factions had been arguing quietly since the adjournment, and they were still doing so.
Someone in the crowd heard Tan Yi's words and shouted, "You only have one witness, so why doesn't that count as one-sided testimony?"
Some people echoed his words, repeating them without thinking too much about the fun.
Tan Yi looked at the crowd, but didn't see anyone.
But he still took the question.
He always considered himself noble and had never lost in debates on public cases. If anyone dared to challenge him, he would naturally be happy to slap them in the face.
He opened his folding fan and fanned himself elegantly, then turned to look at Old Liu and his wife, Yang Chian and the others, and asked, "Since
If anyone has questions, why not let my son and the Liu family's parents tell us whether this was the case back then?"
Yang Chi'an met Tan Yi's gaze and said hurriedly, "I told you! I gave him money that day! Since he accepted it, how can he still sue me?"
