Chapter 436 is finally over
Nanny Qin Qing couldn't help but spit softly and cursed softly, "How dare she keep pestering me? Her son's life is life, but other people's lives are not life? Madam, do you want to see her?"
If the warehouse had really been burned down at that time, Xu Zhichun would have had no way to explain to Prefect Yang!
Xu Zhichun shook his head: "Of course not, Zhang Quan, drive the car."
"Yes, ma'am."
"Mrs. Xu!"
Madam Qi stood in front of the mule cart and refused to leave, begging bitterly: "Madam Xu! Madam Xu! I know it's all our family's fault, and we've been punished now. If Madam Xu is still angry, just say the word, and we in the Qi family will do whatever we can. Please, Madam Xu, please spare my son for the sake of my deep love for him!"
The eldest son, who was placed with high hopes, was suffering in prison. Winter was approaching, and the conditions in the prison were already poor. This was undoubtedly making the situation even worse. Mrs. Qi felt a pang of heartache just thinking about it.
Nanny Qin Qing rolled her eyes when she heard this.
After doing something like that, shouldn't he be punished? He still has the nerve to use it to negotiate with his wife? It feels like, "I've already done this, what else do you expect?"
What about the deep love for one's son and the mercy he showed? These are just too good to be true.
Nanny Qin Qing couldn't help but lift a corner of the carriage curtain, glanced at Madam Qi, and said in a cold and distant tone: "Madam Qi, please go back. This matter is a judgment made by the government. Madam Qi, don't you think you have come to the wrong person to ask our Madam for help? Even if you need help, Madam Qi should go to the government. Our Madam has always been law-abiding, but she can't handle matters like this, and she would never dare to interfere."
"Mrs. Xu——"
"Madam Qin Qing is right, Madam Qi, you are putting me in a difficult position."
Mrs. Qi was angry and scared, and was in a daze. Zhang Quan waved his whip and shouted, driving the mule cart away.
Mrs. Qi couldn't help wiping her tears, feeling sad.
When will her son be able to come home? This Mrs. Xu is too...
Mrs. Qi didn't know what to complain about, and subconsciously, she didn't dare to complain.
Even in my heart.
If she knew things would turn out like this, she would have kept her son at home no matter what and would never have let him do anything wrong.
Things have turned out like this, it's too late to regret now.
She admitted it, but now she no longer has the chance to admit it.
After a long time, Mrs. Dou came out of the prison, dying and in a daze. She was confined to her house by the Dou family, who claimed that she had devoted herself to Buddhism from then on. She never appeared in public again.
As for the eldest son of Qi, he was even more unfortunate. He fell ill in prison, and because he didn't receive proper treatment and care, he developed a cough that plagued him year-round. Especially during the changing seasons, he was bound to suffer a severe bout of coughing, nearly rupturing his lungs. His health was severely damaged, and he never recovered.
As for whether he still harbors resentment, what does it matter?
He was so frightened that he was like a frightened bird, and could no longer flap his wings to make even a single wave.
After the beginning of winter, it gets colder day by day, with a bleak wind and frost in the morning and evening. After the first heavy snow in December, the Chinese New Year is getting closer and closer.
County Magistrate Lu bought a lot of sweet potatoes and potatoes, and all of them were shipped to other places without exception. Everyone made a small fortune and could fight again next year.
On New Year's Eve, Xu Zhichun and Liang Mingxuan, uncle and sister-in-law, looked at each other and sighed, both having given up hope.
I was still holding on to the possibility that Liang Minglang might come back, but I finally let go of the thought.
There will be no miracles happening this way.
Xu Zhichun politely declined Liang Lizheng's invitation to them to celebrate the New Year together at his home. The uncle and sister-in-law spent the New Year at home alone. This year, at least they had Nanny Qin Qing and Muxiang to accompany them, so it wasn't lonely at all. Chunfen asked Xu Zhichun to send her back to her parents.
New Year, new beginnings. At the end of January, the imperial army broke into the lair of King Yuchang. The news that King Yuchang and his entire family burned themselves to death spread throughout the world. The rebellion that lasted for less than a year finally came to an end.
The people ran around to tell each other and were delighted.
Especially in Xijiang Province, which borders King Yuchang's fiefdom, everyone, from officials to common people, breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's finally peaceful, Amitabha!"
"Yes, yes. Now we finally don't have to worry about the rebel king attacking us. I was so worried before that I even had nightmares."
Everyone laughed and joked, then sighed with emotion, "Yeah!"
Peace had finally returned to the land, and the common people had no time to worry about the aftermath of the fratricide between the royal brothers. As long as the war was over, everyone was happy. Those who needed to prepare for spring plowing prepared for it, those who needed to sell sweet potatoes and potatoes did so. Merchants from all over the country began to go out and pick up their old routes. Displaced people also flocked back home, anxious to return.
Liang Mingxuan returned to the county school just after the Lantern Festival, and Xu Zhichun also began another busy spring plowing season.
After two years of planting sweet potatoes and potatoes, everyone is familiar with them. The villagers of Liangjia Village also plant other fruits such as tomatoes, strawberries, yacon, etc., which are enough to satisfy their own cravings.
At the end of March, Liang Minglang sent two trusted confidants, Sanlian and Mu Qi, with seven or eight people back to their hometown to deliver letters to Xu Zhichun and Liang Mingxuan, and to take them to Beijing.
He had previously enlisted and quickly distinguished himself with his skills and methods, frequently making contributions and catching the eye of General Xie. If it weren't for his secret care and arrangements, the few people in the village wouldn't have all been transferred to the relatively safe logistics.
He didn't want the villagers to know too much about himself, so they were all transferred to other military camps and they were not together.
If it weren't for Prince Yuchang's interference, he should have been granted the title at that time.
At that time, Prince Yuchang was in his prime, and the emperor had to turn a blind eye out of filial piety. General Xie had made such great contributions but was framed and attacked, let alone him?
Therefore, after discussing with General Xie, he decided to return home first.
General Xie was not idle. No one knew what he and the emperor had been doing in secret. Prince Yuchang became increasingly arrogant and proud. Finally, he could no longer bear it and took up the banner of rebellion.
Now that Prince Yuchang was completely out of the picture, there was a lot of work to do, and the court officials were inevitably going to undergo a major reshuffle. Liang Minglang had also been given an official position, but it was unknown how long he would remain in the capital, so he sent someone to fetch Xu Zhichun and his younger brother Liang Mingxuan.
How could he bear to be separated from Xu Zhichun for too long? Besides, there were naturally more good schools and good teachers in the capital, which would also be beneficial to Mingxuan's future.
Furthermore, he had promised Xu to avenge her. This matter might require Xu Zhichun's assistance.
Liang Minglang's letter did not go into too much detail, but he said everything that needed to be said: Xu Zhichun was going.
She also didn't want to be separated from each other for too long, as something bad might happen.
She also felt obligated to avenge Xu's family.
