When Wen Yuanbai, who lived next door, learned of this, he could only sigh, "Jiang Youchen, you're lucky. If it weren't for the fear that Du Feng Xiaoyou Ran would attract too much attention, you wouldn't have gotten involved."
Yun Liumei and her daughter Feng Qing'er, who had been squeezed into a corner by the onlookers, watched this scene in disbelief.
Suddenly, Yun Liu Mei burst into laughter, squeezing through the crowd, "Hahaha... What county magistrate! They're going to have their homes ransacked and beheaded! Hahaha..."
Feng Qing'er also chased after them, shouting, "Confiscate their property and execute them! Confiscate their property and execute them!"
Fifteen minutes later, in a dilapidated temple, the mother and daughter shouted incoherently several times before suddenly embracing each other and bursting into tears, breaking down in sobs.
"Why doesn't God confiscate their property and kill them? I want to go back to the Feng family... Mother, I want to go home, sob sob sob..." Feng Qing'er was the most distraught.
She was first inexplicably divorced by the Gao family and sent back to the Feng family, and then inexplicably kicked out by the Feng family. Now she and her mother are homeless on the streets. They went to the Feng family's door to beg several times, but were ruthlessly kicked out each time.
How did her life turn out like this?
Yun Liu Mei couldn't understand it at all. She was originally the high-ranking matriarch of the Feng family and the wife of the county magistrate. In Wufeng County, apart from Magistrate Sun, her husband's family had the highest official rank.
Everything was fine before, how did it suddenly turn out like this?
"Why did I have to provoke Su Yao and the others..." she thought with regret countless times.
If I hadn't gone to Sanyang Village to ridicule them that time, I wouldn't have broken my front tooth.
If I hadn't broken my front tooth, I wouldn't have held a grudge against that family.
If we don't hold a grudge against them, we won't be instigated by Shi Wenxia to falsely accuse the Zhou family.
That way, they wouldn't lose the lawsuit.
Oh, and Shi Wenxia too!
She suddenly sat up straight and walked towards the door.
Unexpectedly, a figure walked in, and it was none other than Shi Wenxia, whom she was looking for.
Shi Wenxia also looked on with jealousy and resentment.
She never expected that in this life, Jiang Youran would receive guidance from that so-called divine doctor at the same time as her brother, and now she has even been granted the title of county princess!
How can I possibly compete with her?!
Thinking of the Su family, whose wealth was comparable to that of a country, which she had tightly controlled in her previous life, and Jiang Youchen, who had been plotted against and died tragically in her previous life... Why is everything different in this life?
As soon as Yun Liumei saw Shi Wenxia, she pounced on her, yelling, "You brat, it's all your fault that we're homeless now!"
Shi Wenxia pushed her away, tilted his head back and said condescendingly, "It's just that the time isn't right yet."
Yes, the time is not right yet.
At this time, her mother had not yet passed away, the Yun family had not yet returned to the capital to resume their official positions, and she had not yet been able to enter the Yun family through her mother's kinship and her father's kindness.
Everything has not yet begun.
She attributed it all to the fact that the time was not yet right. Her previous attempt to buy the Sanyangshan coal mine was merely based on her memories from her previous life.
At this time in her previous life, she was still quite naive. After receiving a letter from her father after the New Year, she was entrusted by her mother to deliver grain to the Yun family. For the next three years, she took care of her ailing mother with constant fear and caution, until her mother passed away three years later. Then, her father's last words were sent from the northern border, instructing her to seek refuge with the Yun family in the capital.
However, it was this act of kindness that earned him the gratitude and respect of the Yun family after he entered the Yun family mansion.
Feng Qing helped her mother up and said indignantly, "What do you mean the time isn't right yet? Mother, how could you have believed such a little girl?"
After wailing and stamping her feet for a while, Yun Liumei pointed at Shi Wenxia and cursed, "You spoke so arrogantly back then, and I was wrong to trust you. Now that the lawsuit has failed, you'd better hurry up and find a way to have that family's property confiscated and their heads chopped off! So that we can go back to the Feng family!"
Shi Wenxia's lips curled into a smile. "I do have a solution. Would you be willing to try it?"
From beginning to end, the only people she had to deal with were the Su family mother and her two children, or more precisely, the Jiang siblings.
In her plan, with the divine assistance of Magistrate Feng in the last lawsuit, Zhou and Jiang Youchen were bound to lose. She would then appear as a savior, making Zhou shift all the blame onto the Jiang siblings who treated Manager Liu's son, and then release Zhou.
He was once again deeply grateful to the people in the Marquis's mansion.
What a perfect plan!
Yun Liu Mei was desperate, and she would try anything, no matter how small the hope.
She nodded, "Okay, go ahead and tell me!"
Shi Wenxia approached the two of them and slowly revealed her plan.
...
Three days later, amidst the reluctant gazes of relatives and friends, three carriages slowly drove away from the bluestone slabs at the main gate of Xinyun Mansion.
Nan Zhuo and Steward Zhang waved to the carriage with bright smiles in front of the gate next door.
A moment later, the two put their hands down and closed the door.
The bright smiles on their faces instantly crumbled, turning into expressions of worry.
"Ah, what a wonderful opportunity to return to the capital! Why did Master..."
Butler Zhang shook his hands and muttered to himself.
Nan Zhuo also shook his hand, his voice mournful, "Alas... who can untangle the knot in Master's heart?"
Wen Yuanbai, who was shut in his room, heard the sound outside and couldn't help but raise his hand to look at his fingertips. Was it a knot in his heart?
hehe.
There were three large carriages. The first one was an extra-long carriage driven by Uncle Feng, the same one that Su and her son had ridden in when they arrived. It was also filled with clothes, fabrics and local specialties that Old Madam Yun and the others insisted on bringing.
Of course, they had the most cloth, since they ran a cloth shop.
Before leaving, Madam Su handed over all the affairs of the cloth shop in detail, and also entrusted the pastry shop to Madam Sun.
This pastry shop was doing exceptionally well. Although it had luxurious pastries that cost ten taels of silver a box, it also had commoner pastries that cost three coins each. As a result, it quickly became popular in Wufeng County. From the county magistrate's wife to ordinary people, everyone praised it highly.
The innkeeper, who had once missed out on the pastry recipe, later learned that Zhao Mama had genuinely come to sell the recipe that day, and he was filled with remorse. Now, upon learning that the mother and daughter, who had just been granted the title of county princess, were leaving Wufeng, he suddenly understood why the old woman had tried to sell the pastry recipe all at once, and he was even more filled with regret.
The second carriage carried Zhao Mama and the Yang couple, along with their three daughters, whom Zhao Mama and Xiao Youran had rescued from the fifth daughter-in-law and her husband of the Yun family.
The day after the Yang family moved into the manor, Zhao Mama returned the indenture to them. However, Yang resolutely refused to accept it, stating that since she had followed her master, she had to keep her promise. She had completed her double postpartum confinement in early March, and while taking good care of her third daughter, she and Xiu'er and Qiao'er diligently helped with chores. They were constantly busy with the Yun family's relocation, the preparation of the new house, and the work at the pastry shop. Even the clan head's wife, who had come to the banquet the other day, praised her for her good complexion, saying she looked much better than when she was at her husband's family home. Therefore, when Su and her daughters wanted to return to the capital, they insisted on taking their still unconscious husband with them.
When they arrived, Zhao's mother, Su Yue, and Su's mother and son squeezed into that extra-long carriage, but now they were sitting in the third carriage quite consciously. There was also Doctor Gu, who had finally managed to take back the Gu Manor, but insisted on going back to the capital with the little divine doctor's apprentice.
