Chapter 466 Let Our Husband Go
When Xu Miaomiao heard these words, she was still a little confused, because Song Wushao had been doing this matter all along, so she had no idea what had happened. However, listening to the two sentences said by these two people, it should be that the person was arrested last time and had not been sent back after being beaten with a stick.
Xu Miaomiao was shocked, but he calmed down and looked at the two women in front of him without saying a word. Seeing that he didn't say anything, the women began to cry miserably, hitting their thighs while crying, and said pitifully: "What kind of sin have I suffered? I actually encountered such a thing. My family relied on my husband to run around here. If it weren't for him, everyone in our family would have starved to death long ago. Now these people have beaten and punished him, but they still haven't sent him back to us. What's going on? You have to give an explanation whether he is dead or alive. Madam Xu, you can't just bully the people of our Wangjia Village just because your husband is an official in the White Line."
"Yes, although it is wrong for us to damage your house, we have already been punished, so shouldn't we return the person to you? What's the point of your family holding on to it?"
Xu Miaomiao didn't say anything after hearing this. She straightened her clothes and looked at the two ladies in front of her. Then she said, "I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding. Although it was Song Wushao who took them away, and although he is also my husband, he is still an official in Bai County. He damaged other people's property at will and burned my house. This is a serious crime. Not to mention being imprisoned for a few days, even exile is possible. But maybe we haven't discussed it yet, and you are so impatient to come to me. Do I have to accuse you of exile? Will you give up?"
When the two heard Xu Miaomiao say this, they seemed to be startled and immediately exchanged glances.
Li Mei took a deep breath, looked at Xu Miaomiao and immediately said, "Young lady, how could you do this? You know my husband, he has helped you a lot in the past, and he always wants to meet you and stand on your side. You can even plead for us. Anyway, it's your house. As long as you don't pursue it, how could anyone else pursue it?"
"That's right, that's right." The loud-voiced sister-in-law at the side said, "Mrs. Xu, you might as well just say that you don't want the house anymore and have said you're going to donate it to the village. Then even if we burn down your house when you come, you won't be guilty of anything, right? At most, it's an accidental fire. Even if it's that crime, you should be released after being locked up for two days."
The two thought about it, and after saying this, they looked at each other happily. However, Xu Miaomiao disagreed. She curled her lips and said, "Now that you have driven me out of Wangjia Village and even humiliated me, why should I testify for you? Besides, you burned down our house at will. This is a fact. Why should I help you?"
After saying that, Xu Miaomiao looked at the two people in front of her.
When the two heard what Xu Miaomiao said, they were also stunned, as if they did not expect Xu Miaomiao to say that. Xu Miaomiao had always been kind and merciful in front of them, as if she was easy to control, but now that she resisted, of course they were a little at a loss for a moment. The two of them seemed to be acting like scoundrels, and seeing that begging Xu Miaomiao was useless, they began to threaten her and spoke.
"Madam Xu, you have ruined our land, but we have never blamed you. Why is Village Chief Wang on your side? We the common people all know that if it weren't for you coming back, how could those lands have suffered these things for no reason? You have caused the people of Wangjia Village to lose this year's harvest, and we could have survived the cold winter. Not to mention burning your house, even if we ask your family to compensate us for those lands, it is all reasonable. Now we come to you just to give you a way out. As long as you put it this way, we can get along well and pretend that this incident has never happened. But you don't want to, so I won't blame us for being ruthless. You should blame our husband. For burning your house, I will blame you for ruining our land at will!"
When Xu Miaomiao heard this, she chuckled, as if she disdained their arguments. These people always wanted to threaten her with something else. Looking at the two people, Xu Miaomiao waved her hand slowly, and the servant beside her immediately brought a stool over. Xu Miaomiao immediately sat down slowly on the stool, looked at the two people in front of her and said, "You didn't figure it out first, it was Magistrate Hu who gave you the medicine and asked me to treat the land, and it was Village Chief Wang who poisoned the medicine and wrote the name of Liu the Lame. After all, this is your Wangjia Village's business, what does it have to do with me? At most, Magistrate Hu said a few words about my poor medical skills, but why do you blame me for all these things?"
After saying that, Xu Miaomiao stood up. The servant beside him immediately saw this and took back the chair. Looking at the two people in front of him, Xu Miaomiao patted their shoulders and whispered softly in their ears, "Don't forget that it was because of me that your Wangjia Village could continue to operate. Without me, where would you get these fields and the things you rely on for survival?"
Xu Miaomiao spoke with some excitement in her tone, but she had already seen through the hearts of the people in Wangjia Village and didn't want to compete with them any more. She stood up and said, "No matter how long you two ladies want to stay here, please do as you please."
Xu Miaomiao pointed to the mat beside her, and then she looked at the servant beside her and said slowly, "If anyone blocks our maids and servants again and prevents them from going out, I, Xu Miaomiao, am not someone who can be easily provoked. You can take them to the government. I want to hear what big mistake our family has made that allows others to block the door. After all, this is the home of Mr. Song."
After Xu Miaomiao finished speaking, she turned and left. The servant beside her glared at him, then immediately put away the bench and closed the door again. Seeing the door closed again, the two women suddenly felt troubled. Li Juan hesitated for a moment, and looked at the loud-voiced sister-in-law beside her and asked, "Since his attitude is like this, should we still go and beg them?"
