Not long after, Chen Jingzhi arrived at the Mo family.
When he saw Qiu Yinong was about to salute, he was stopped by a look from Qiu Yinong.
Chen Jingzhi quickly retracted his gesture to salute. Qing Yuan picked up Hu Jiao and walked over to Chen Jingzhi, saying, "Captain Chen, this woman is drugging people and trying to replace their marriage."
"Take him away." Chen Jingzhi spoke directly without asking anything.
Hu Jiao was dumbfounded and screamed, "You dog official, have you been bribed? Why don't you ask anything and just take me away directly?"
"Slandering an imperial official is a serious crime. Take him away."
Chen Jingzhi's face looked grim.
Hu Jiao's eyes widened in disbelief, and she murmured, "How could this happen? This shouldn't be the case."
"I did nothing wrong. I just wanted to live a good life. Why, why do you have to make things difficult for me?"
"I didn't give the medicine, it was my mother. It wasn't me. My mother also gave that little bitch Mo Kerou the sterilization medicine. Hahaha, so what if they catch me."
"My dear aunt, who told you to give up on me? I'm going to ruin your daughter. She can't have children anymore. Let's see if the Qiu family will want a hen that can't lay eggs."
Qiu Yinong frowned and looked at Hu Jiao, and whispered softly: "You are really a noisy hen. Don't worry, you won't lay eggs, and my sister-in-law will be fine."
Hu Jiao wanted to say something, but the bailiff who was escorting her covered her mouth directly, and Hu Jiao cried out in pain.
Zhang wanted to escape, so Chen Jingzhi had her arrested as well.
Zhang cursed angrily, "You little bitch, I did all this for you, but I didn't expect you to turn the tables on me in the end."
"Wuwuwu..." Just after she finished cursing, Zhang's mouth was blocked.
"Master Mo, congratulations on your daughter's marriage. I will take these troublesome people away first. Congratulations."
Chen Jingzhi congratulated Mo Shibo with a smile. Mo Shibo knew why the headman was so polite to him and even used honorifics.
He also quickly returned the greeting and said, "Congratulations, Pavilion Master. I will have someone set up another table so that you can stay and have a drink."
"You don't have to eat at the banquet, but you can have a drink of the wedding wine." Chen Jingzhi laughed, and Mo Shibo quickly asked someone to bring clean wine glasses.
He personally poured a glass of wine for Chen Jingzhi and clinked his glass with Chen Jingzhi's: "Congratulations again to Master Mo on marrying his daughter. May the newlyweds live happily together until old age."
"Thank you very much, thank you very much." Mo Shibo held the wine glass and waited for him to finish speaking before he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
"Hahaha, so generous. I'll come and bother you again to have a drink with Master Mo in the future." Chen Jingzhi laughed and put down his glass.
Mo Shibo repeatedly welcomed him, and Chen Jingzhi then said, "Take him away."
After the bailiffs escorted the man away, Chen Jingzhi bowed again, facing Qiu Yinong: "In that case, I will also leave first."
"Temple Master, take care." Mo Shibo also quickly returned the greeting.
The guests were all curious: "Why is this pavilion chief so respectful to the Mo family?"
"I heard there are red silk hanging above the door. Could it be that the guy in the capital is going to reuse Mo Shibo's sister?"
"It's possible. I heard that the capital sent a lot of gifts, and also said that if Mo Niang wants to go back, she can go back anytime."
"Oh, then Mo Niang will be able to go to the capital to work as a manager again. This is a great and glorious thing."
The man beside him whispered, "I heard that Mo Niang refused. But I heard that Mo Niang will be returning to the capital soon. I heard that she wants to bring back her daughter who she left with her husband's family in the capital."
"They're willing to let go?"
"Who knows? But considering that Mo Niang is in the good graces of that lady, she should let go."
"Oh, then won't Mo Niang regret this?"
"What do you regret?" Others also became curious.
The man pointed at Qiu Yinong mysteriously and whispered, "I heard that this marriage was arranged by Mo Niang."
"Look at that Miss Qiu who is so domineering in protecting her brother. She can even see through Hu Jiao's fakery at a glance. Such a smart sister-in-law who can make money and manage the household."
"Has Mo Niang ever regretted it?"
"After all, she has a daughter herself, and now she wants to take her daughter back home, but the Qiu family gave such a good marriage to their own niece."
As soon as these words were spoken, the gossiping women seemed to have just woken up from a dream.
"That's true, but the Qiu family has more than just this one handsome young man."
"I heard from Mrs. Hu the other day that the fourth son of the Qiu family got engaged early for some reason, but the second, third, and fifth sons are still unengaged."
"Besides, the third child is the winner of this imperial examination. Do you really think Mo Niang is stupid? She must have saved the best for her own daughter."
Hearing the words of the slightly plump woman, the thin dark woman who had been gossiping earlier sneered: "Oh, do you really think I'm a fool? My son is obviously a top scholar."
"If it were you, would you marry the daughter of a former slave?"
As the words became increasingly harsh, Qiu Yinong glanced over there and then said to Mo Shibo and his wife, "Uncle and aunt, now that things are settled here, I'll go back first."
"Okay, it's getting dark, be careful on the road." Mo Shibo nodded quickly and personally sent the person to the gate.
Qiu Yinong's carriage was still there, and Bao Shun was driving it.
Mrs. Hu warned Baoshun: "It's getting dark. It's okay to drive slowly. Be careful with your daughter."
"Don't worry, Madam Mo." Baoshun responded happily. After Qiu Yinong, Qingyuan and Chu Hongyun were seated in the car, he quickly put away the step stool and sat back in the front of the car.
"Master Mo, Madam Mo, please go back first. I will leave now."
"Uncle and aunt, go back and entertain the guests. The official road has just been repaired, so we'll be home soon. Maybe if we hurry, we can even catch up with big brother's wedding."
Hearing Qiu Yinong's words, the couple responded happily.
After watching the carriage leave, Mo Shibo took his wife back to the front yard. The guests were still whispering about what had just happened.
Mo Shibo cleared his throat and said, "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself today. The dinner will start later. Thank you all for coming to see my daughter off today. Everyone must eat and drink well and share in the joy."
"Okay, okay, although your daughter married into a farming family, I heard that the Qiu family is now almost as wealthy as a wealthy family."
"In the future, I will just wait to enjoy the blessing of my daughter and son-in-law."
"The soap in our town and Zhao Ji's snacks all come from Taohua Village. I heard your daughter married into Taohua Village, right?"
"It's Taohua Village." Mo Shibo responded with a smile.
He received affirmation and a wave of agreement, but some people secretly sneered, saying that no matter how good he was, he was still a country boy.
When Taohua Village actually started to receive guests, those guests who had thought that Taohua Village was a country town realized how wrong they were. This was not a village at all; it was even richer than their town.
…
When Qiu Yinong returned home, she happened to catch Qiu Hansheng and his family's auspicious ceremony. As she stepped through the door, she heard Uncle Jing chanting loudly: "Bow to Heaven and Earth!"
