Chapter 207: The Right Medicine
"Spendthrift." Wei Rou gritted her teeth.
The kid acted as if he didn't hear anything, staring at Liang Huanxue with sparkling eyes: "Call me brother quickly."
Wei Rou stopped the kid and said, "Shut up."
While holding the kid, he said to Shen Yuefu, "Sister-in-law, I won't save your meal today."
After saying that, she looked at the maid next to her and said, "Put the things away and send them to Madam Liang."
Just as Shen Yuefu was about to refuse, the little brat over there came over again.
Liang Huanxue seemed to see herself again with her face full of saliva, "Go, go, go."
In order to speak clearly, Liang Huanxue spoke word by word.
Coupled with the tense expression on her face, Shen Yuefu's nervous mood was also aroused, and she ran away without saying a word.
After running quite a distance, I could still hear the kid calling for his sister heartbreakingly.
Running out of the City Lord's Mansion, Shen Yuefu was breathing heavily.
Liang Huanxue felt a little guilty when she felt the thin layer of sweat on her mother's face.
It's just a face full of saliva, it's better than making mother tired.
Although she thought so, Liang Huanxue still broke into a sweat when she thought of the kid's "enthusiasm".
She wanted to ask what her mother had said to the city lord's wife, but when she realized that her thoughts could no longer be heard, she sighed.
Shen Yuefu couldn't wait to share it.
"My dear girl, do you know what the city lord's wife just told me?"
After asking, he began to talk about himself: "Your brothers can go to school. The mayor's wife said that the emperor is kind and considerate of our family's situation. He has allowed your brothers to study in the academy in the city. The tuition and other expenses will be paid by the higher authorities."
After saying that, Shen Yuefu kissed Liang Huanxue's little face and said, "My dear girl, you are really our little lucky treasure."
Liang Huanxue didn't say anything, but she knew that it wasn't that she was lucky, but that she was just lucky at the right time, in the right place, and with the right people.
She suddenly changed her mind.
"God, you are still good. The golden finger was given to me at a very timely and useful time."
Liang Huanxue never considered that, because of some small coincidence and misunderstanding, she covered her own eyes and thought that nothing happened, but in fact, others heard it clearly.
Shen Yuefu was curious about what the golden finger that the good girl mentioned was.
When the mother and daughter returned home, Liang Yuanwang had already discussed it with others, and Shen Yuefu couldn't wait to share the good news with Liang Yuanwang.
Liang Yuanwang was so excited that he drank several bowls of water. He suppressed his emotions and asked, "Did they say when to send the child over?"
"Tomorrow, the mayor's wife said that it would be better for the child to go to the academy as early as possible."
"Okay, okay." Liang Yuanwang was a little dazed, as if he was not in reality. "Let's go tomorrow. Tomorrow we will personally send the children over."
Of course Shen Yuefu had no objection.
The next morning, the family sent their three children to the academy.
When he got back to the door of his house, he found two people standing there. They were the city lord's personal guards.
Liang Yuanwang recognized him and immediately walked over quickly.
The two of them were a little entangled, but they still spoke: "Someone reported you for murder last night, and the city lord asked us to take you back for investigation."
The scene buried deep in his memory was dug out, and Liang Yuanwang realized that although he was eager to protect his family at the time, murder is still murder.
But the child...
Liang Yuanwang looked at his wife and daughter: "Wife..."
"Go ahead. You were there to protect us. I believe the city lord will handle the matter appropriately."
Liang Yuanwang nodded and left with his bodyguards.
Liang Huanxue, however, had already figured it out.
"Although it was murder, it was not the city lord's personal guards who came. It seems that the city lord is still good to my father."
Shen Yuefu pricked up her ears.
"If the city lord is here with my father now, then my father can definitely be saved."
Liang Huanxue looked at Shen Yuefu sadly, wondering why she couldn't hear what she was thinking.
"If only mother could still hear what I'm saying, I could tell her that we can ask the villagers to testify for us."
"Dad killed someone out of helplessness and it was an accident. If you explain it clearly, maybe you can avoid punishment."
Liang Huanxue had just finished speaking when a person came over in a hurry. It was Zhu Lihua.
"Sister-in-law, come with me quickly. I heard that my eldest brother is in trouble. Let's go and take a look at the situation so that we can discuss what to do."
Liang Huanxue nodded.
"That's right. We should first find out the situation and then go to the villagers to find the right remedy."
Shen Yuefu forced herself to calm down and followed with Liang Huanxue in her arms.
The case of Liang Yuanwang's murder was personally investigated by the city lord.
Liang Yuanwang, as the defendant, knelt on the left and right with the plaintiff.
People who came to watch could only stand at the door and could not see the plaintiff's appearance clearly.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, Shen Yuefu heard it.
"My Lord City Lord, Liang Yuanwang has committed murder with malicious intent. This matter cannot be tolerated."
Shen Yuefu's eyes widened: "Uncle?"
Shen Yuefu looked up at her mother's chin, waiting for her explanation, and Shen Yuefu did not disappoint him.
"That shouldn't happen. My husband is very kind to my uncle. He always gives my uncle a share of anything good he has. Why did he sue my husband?"
Liang Yuanwang was shocked: "Uncle, you..."
"Don't play the family card with me." The uncle spat, "I've asked people, and what I did today is called killing relatives for the sake of justice, and I deserve to be rewarded."
"Bullshit, he's killing his own relatives for the sake of justice, he's stabbing someone in the back and still saying it so high-soundingly, he's a mean person who says one thing in public and another behind his back."
If Liang Huanxue could walk properly, she would have wanted to walk up to her uncles and give them a good beating.
As for courtesy, respecting the old and loving the young? Sorry, Liang Huanxue's character depends on the situation. If the other person has the courtesy, she will have it. If the other person doesn't, she will just not act like a human being.
Unfortunately, Liang Huanxue could only do nothing.
She looked at her old father with burning eyes, her eyes unusually bright.
"My old man, this person who stabbed me in the back is not a good relative. Don't be soft-hearted."
"It's inevitable that there will be casualties on the road to escape famine. You accidentally killed someone while trying to protect your family. It's reasonable and logical, and you should be the one taking the blame. You must tell the truth, and don't hide a single word!"
Although Liang Yuanwang was heartbroken by his relatives' backstabbing, he was not a fool. He was not to the point of happily responding if someone slapped him twice.
Just as he was about to tell it all, the city lord on the upper seat spoke first, blocking his way.
"What do you want, fellow villager? You have done a great service in killing your relatives for the sake of justice. If you want anything, just speak up."
The uncle pretended to be polite, but couldn't help saying, "Liang Yuanwang is not fit to be the new village chief. He should be replaced by someone more suitable."
The abacus beads bounced onto the city lord's face.
He still had a smile on his face: "So, fellow villager, who do you think is suitable?"
The uncle rubbed his hands together. The ambition in his eyes could not hide the apology he pretended to have on the surface: "Although I'm sorry Liang Yuanwang, I still think I am the most suitable."
He also analyzed them one by one: "First, I am older than Liang Yuanwang, and I have eaten more salt than he has walked. When it comes to dealing with people, I am definitely better than him."
