After finally getting the housekeeper to send Old Man Shu and his family away, Zhuang Tianming asked the servants to call out the women in the house.
Without telling Zhuang Zhenmeng about Old Man Shu's visit, Zhuang Tianming got in a carriage and led his family to the ancestral cemetery.
…
When Shu Jiaying got up, she made a simple breakfast for everyone. When she was about to go out after breakfast, Xiaohua stopped her.
"Sister Jiaying, where are you going? Can I go with you?"
Shu Jiaying was going to the yamen's prison, so of course she couldn't take Xiaohua with her.
Touching Xiaohua's delicate and smooth face, Shu Jiaying said, "Xiaohua, wait at home obediently. We'll go out and do something and will be back soon."
Xiaohua was extremely reluctant and she pouted sadly.
"Sister Jiaying, it's been three days since we came to Fengyun Town, but you've been leaving early and coming back late every day. Sometimes I can't even find you when I want to see you."
"Silly girl, I went out to do something, not to play. If I finish my work one day, I will take you to the town to play."
"Sister Jiaying, is what you said true?"
"You little girl, when have I ever lied to you? Be good and listen to me. Play with Ah Huang first."
Xiaohua turned her head to look at Ah Huang, who was squatting on the ground and wagging his tail at her. She had no choice but to agree, "Okay, then come back soon!"
"I see."
Only after getting Shu Jiaying's consent did Xiaohua smile.
Taking Ah Huang with her, Xiaohua happily ran to the garden to play again.
Yu Chenfeng, who had been standing aside without saying a word, saw Xiaohua's happy look and laughed, "Xiaohua is such a fickle girl. She was so sad just a moment ago, but all her worries disappeared when she saw Ah Huang."
"Aren't all children like this? But Xiaohua's heart is a little more fragile than that of other children. After all, people without parents tend to lack a sense of security. What's rare is that she likes it here and has adapted very well."
Yu Chenfeng also agreed with Shu Jiaying's statement. He promised Shu Jiaying: "Don't worry, Yingying, as long as you and Xiaohua are happy, I can do more for you."
"Achen..."
Kang Ningxia immediately jumped out and stood between Shu Jiaying and Yu Chenfeng. He shouted in dissatisfaction: "Brother and sister-in-law, if you want to show your affection, can you find a suitable time? We are getting ready to go to the government office now!"
"Okay, okay, let's go!"
A group of people arrived at the yamen.
With Kang Ningxia's help, Shu Jiaying finally met the crazy woman hiding in Bagui's house.
In the cell, the crazy woman sat quietly in front of the wall with her back to the cell door. She said nothing. There was a bowl of white rice next to her, but the rice seemed to have not been touched.
Shu Jiaying called out to the woman through the cell door, "Sister, I'm here to see you. I'm from Guangming Village, just like you. Sister... can you hear me?"
Shu Jiaying called out several times, but the crazy woman didn't respond. She wasn't sure if she was listening to her, but she still asked, "Sister, can you tell me why you're staying at Bagui's house? Do you know Bagui and the others?"
Like a wooden sculpture, the crazy woman remained motionless, so Shu Jiaying had no choice but to call the yamen runners.
