Song Tingyue took Chi Yunzhi out of the carriage and put a hood on her.
Nanny Liang helped Qian, and Nanny Xu helped Wu get off the carriage.
When the yamen runner on duty saw the visitor, he immediately came forward humbly and took a few people to the cell where Fang Baolin was imprisoned.
She was the suspect in the Song Mansion arson case, and Song Tingyue was a popular new nobleman, so Fang Baolin also received special treatment.
She was held in solitary confinement and became a focus of attention.
At this moment, she was slumped in the corner of the cell, looking at the small iron window.
"Baolin! My poor daughter! You are still alive!" Mrs. Wu excitedly grabbed the iron railing, and her swollen eyes were filled with tears again.
When Fang Baolin heard the familiar voice, he turned around awkwardly, his eyes gradually focusing on Wu.
"Mother? Mother! Save me!" Fang Baolin recognized Wu and crawled over like crazy. The iron chain on his wrist made a crisp sound when it hit the cold and hard ground.
"Son! You've suffered so much!" Mrs. Wu cried. "Your father was murdered by criminals! You've been imprisoned. What will I do if I'm alone?"
Wu's crying was very tear-jerking in the prison cell where many prisoners were imprisoned, and many prisoners even wiped away their tears secretly.
When Fang Baolin heard the news that his father had died, he was stunned.
"How, how is that possible? He clearly spoke to me that day!" Fang Baolin murmured, "I don't believe it. Mom, you lied to me, didn't you?"
Wu finished sobbing as she recounted the details of the body identification. Fang Baolin's stomach cramped and he turned around and vomited.
Zhu Yin quickly stood in front of Chi Yunzhi to prevent her from seeing this dirty scene.
"They say you are the suspect in the Song Mansion arson case. Tell them you didn't do it!" Mrs. Wu lost her husband, and her only daughter became a suspect. She was about to collapse.
Fang Baolin subconsciously began to avoid looking directly into Wu's eyes.
What else don’t you understand now?
"Why did you set me on fire? Is there any reason for me to die?" Chi Yunzhi asked coldly, pushing Zhu Yin aside.
Fang Baolin was startled when she heard the familiar voice. Chi Yunzhi was hiding in the dark just now and she couldn't see clearly. Now she was standing in front of her, and Fang Baolin was so scared that her legs were shaking.
Fang Baolin's eyes wandered around and he saw Song Tingyue at a glance.
"Cousin, please save me! I didn't mean it! I was just possessed by the devil for a moment! Chi Yunzhi can't protect your child! She deserves to die!" Fang Baolin stretched out his hand from the iron railing and grabbed in the air for a while.
People really smile when they are speechless.
Fang Baolin actually wanted to burn her to death for such a lame reason!
"Open the door." Chi Yunzhi said coldly.
The jailer opened the cell door with ease.
Fang Baolin thought he was going to let her go, and his eyes fell straight on Song Tingyue.
But before she took two steps, Chi Yunzhi grabbed her wrist and slapped her face accurately.
There were two crisp "pa pa" sounds, and both Qian and Wu were stunned.
Qian wanted to stop them at the mountain front, but was stopped by Song Tingyue.
"Just let Yunzhi vent." This sentence made Qian silent.
Chi Yunzhi slapped him twice but it seemed not enough, so she raised her hand and slapped him twice more.
"This slap is for the baby in my belly, and this slap is for myself. Fang, you deserve to die!" Chi Yunzhi said coldly.
Mrs. Wu was already frightened. She didn't expect her daughter to be so bold as to kill and set fire.
She had no reason to speak up for her daughter anymore.
"Don't hurt your hands. Let's go home." Song Tingyue stepped forward and gently held Chi Yunzhi's slightly numb hand.
Chi Yunzhi's eyes were red but she tried to stop the tears from falling.
After getting on the carriage, Chi Yunzhi was embraced by Song Tingyue. Tears finally rolled down her face, burning the back of Song Tingyue's hand.
It is a fact that Fang Baolin deliberately committed arson and murder, and he will soon be sentenced to exile according to the laws of the Longxing Dynasty.
On the day Chi Yunzhi finished her confinement, Jin came to her house with the finished clothes. Chi Yunzhi gave her the remaining money and an extra ten taels as a reward.
"The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon. Consider this as a gift money. Don't think it's too little, Boss Jin." Chi Yunzhi said gently.
After being surprised, Jin felt relieved.
If it were the Qian family, let alone a reward of ten taels, there wouldn't even be one tael.
"Then I would like to wish the young lady a healthy, safe and happy Dragon Boat Festival in advance." Jin took the reward money and spoke kindly as if it were free.
Zhuyin and Huarong brought the servants to distribute all the clothes.
"Wow, this season's new clothes are so beautiful!"
“I love it so much!”
"Could it be that Madam has changed her temperament and is willing to spend money now?"
Zhu Yin's smiling face suddenly fell. "You're gossiping about your masters behind their backs. Do you think your life is too comfortable?"
The servants fell silent immediately.
"Oh, have the clothes arrived? Let me see them." Aunt Xu twisted her old waist and walked forward, taking a set from the table without saying a word.
After gesturing left and right, he was very satisfied, "What Madam has chosen is exactly what I like. Madam's vision is as good as always."
Nanny Xu originally thought that she would receive unanimous praise from the servants, so that she could go back and tell Qian how grateful the servants were to her.
But now she saw that the servants were avoiding her gaze.
What's going on?
Is she wrong?
"I think it's because Aunt Xu has been recuperating for too long and has been out of touch with the news, so all the new clothes this season were ordered by the young lady. The young lady will be the housekeeper in the future." When Huarongrourou said this, Aunt Xu's heart skipped a beat.
"That's impossible!" Aunt Xu retorted subconsciously.
Zhuyin and Huarong ignored her and continued doing their own things.
After distributing the clothes, their task for the day was also completed.
Nanny Xu ran back to Qiu Shui Ju in a panic, wanting to ask about this matter, but was stopped outside the door by Nanny Liang.
Nanny Liang sneered at her for making a big deal out of nothing and not being able to hide her emotions. This was the last thing the lady wanted to hear about right now.
When Aunt Xu saw her posture, alarm bells started to ring in her heart.
Did Nanny Liang take away the position of his wife’s personal nanny?
She had only been recuperating for half a month!
No one cared what Aunt Xu thought, everyone was happy for Chi Yunzhi's generosity.
If the eldest young lady were to be the head of the household, she would definitely be kind to the servants and would definitely reward them, unlike Qian who treats them so harshly.
In Guiyun Pavilion, Lanxiang and Juye were making rice dumplings with two maids, preparing for the Dragon Boat Festival in a few days.
The yard was filled with the fragrance of rice dumplings, and the maids were chatting and laughing, creating a thriving scene.
Chi Yunzhi couldn't resist the urge to make dumplings herself.
When Song Tingyue came back from court, he saw her sitting among a group of maids, with a few plump white glutinous rice grains on her jade-like fingertips. He also joined the team in making rice dumplings.
