Chapter 159 I Did Nothing Wrong
After listening for a while, everyone's expression changed drastically.
Someone committed a crime here!
Lu Qingqing made a quick decision and told Feng Xiaowan to take the child and Qiaoxiu and the others to the carriage.
The carriage stopped in an open space not far from the temple, which was full of vendors' stalls and was looked after by monks.
Then he sent Sixi to the temple to call for help.
Lu Qingqing and Lu Yun stayed behind, intending to go and check first.
The two men were carrying poison powder. Lu Yun also knew a few martial arts moves. Judging from the voices, there seemed to be three men over there. If they were ordinary people, they could handle them.
Qiaoxiu clung to Lu Qingqing, not wanting to leave, but Lin Ye coaxed her a couple of times and took her away.
Feng Xiaowan covered Xibao's mouth and turned around, her face pale.
Lu Qingqing waved her hand: "Let's go quickly."
After the others left, Lu Qingqing had no more worries and quietly sneaked over with Lu Yun.
As I got closer, I heard a woman's sharp, angry shouts:
"Wan Yunrong! How dare you call me vicious! You're the poisonous woman! Wan Jishan gave you everything, and you killed him!"
“I gave birth to a son, but he wouldn’t let me raise him. He only let me see him once a month. He’s only visited me a handful of times a year!”
What more could you possibly want? Why can't you tolerate me?
And your son, why did you only give me a hundred taels of silver to send me away, and then abandon my son on the estate!
Since Wanjishan likes you so much, then you might as well go underground and join him!
Another weak female voice said, "I can let you beat and kill me, but release my maid and don't harm others."
"Hahahaha... Madam Wan is really well raised by Wan Jishan, so naive!" A man laughed gruffly.
"Release your maid so we can report this to the authorities?"
Lu Qingqing was surprised to find that it was Madam Wan and her maid here.
She hid in the bushes and looked over there.
There were three men, one strong and two thin. They either knew kung fu or were just scoundrels who only knew how to bully women.
Madam Wan lay on the ground, blood at the corner of her mouth, clutching her stomach, curled up in pain; she must have been kicked and beaten.
Her maid was held captive by a man, her mouth covered, unable to break free, tears streaming down her face.
Lu Qingqing's anger suddenly surged to the top of her head.
See? This is the benefit of having a mistress!
Wanjishan's mistress looked vicious and said fiercely, "Wang Gui, go and tell his son to bring 30,000 taels of silver over, or he can forget about ever seeing his mother again!"
Is Wang Gui a turtle or a tortoise?
Wang Gui refused to go, saying, "Fifth Brother, you go. I want to have some fun first!"
"Don't touch her... I'll give you any amount of silver, just let her go!" Madam Wan pleaded.
The mistress said sarcastically, "Don't worry, it'll be your turn soon."
When your son arrives, he'll see his mother, who has lived a life of wealth and comfort, lying here naked and dead. Tell me, how will he feel?
"Don't be so sure, Madam Wan is no less beautiful than the young girl, just look at her skin and flesh..."
The fifth brother also refused to leave, spewing vulgarities.
He wanted to have his fun before reporting the news.
Just as the three men were about to commit their wicked deeds, Lu Qingqing and Lu Yun suddenly emerged from the bushes, each holding a stone and aiming it at one of them.
They knocked two people down on the spot.
The last one threw Mingqiu away and was about to rush over when Lu Qingqing threw poison powder in his face.
He covered his eyes, howled, and rolled around on the ground.
In an instant, only the mistress remained.
She turned to run, but Lu Qingqing grabbed her hair and swept her leg, tripping her to the ground.
Lu Qingqing raised her hand and slapped her ten times across the face.
"As a woman herself, she used the most despicable methods to humiliate other women."
You have no moral bottom line, you're no different from an animal, so vicious, you don't deserve to be human!
The mistress's mouth was split open, her face was bruised and battered from the slaps, and she was sobbing and unable to speak.
When Sixi arrived with the monks, the four of them were already tied together.
The three men awoke from their unconsciousness and threatened menacingly, "You'd better release us right now, or you'll be in trouble with the people behind us!"
Lu Qingqing stuck a needle into his mouth.
Very well, so there was someone behind you. Perfect, we'll take them out too!
"Please, all of you benefactors, come with me to the yamen (government office)." The monk who had come over said, pressing down on the group.
"Of course."
Lu Qingqing and Mingqiu helped Madam Wan into her family's carriage.
Upon seeing this scene, Wan's coachman turned pale with fright and hurriedly went back to report the news.
Madam Wan suffered some internal injuries to her chest and abdomen and was almost in a semi-conscious state.
Lu Qingqing gave her acupuncture to clear the blockage and also gave her some pills.
Mingqiu clutched her torn clothes, her whole body still trembling.
Fortunately, Feng Xiaowan brought two extra sets of clothes with her child to avoid getting them dirty when she went out.
Dress Mingqiu in a set.
Qiaoxiu and Lin Ye held her left hand and her right hand respectively to comfort her.
Mingqiu's sobs gradually stopped.
Madam Wan opened her eyes, stared blankly at Lu Qingqing, and asked, "He promised me only, but then betrayed me and was unfaithful. Was I wrong to divorce him?"
He committed suicide to save the shop. He was clearly ashamed to face me, so how did it become that he was planning for me even in death?
In the end, they all blamed me.
Was I wrong? Was I wrong?
“You’re not wrong,” Lu Qingqing said. “Those who betray sincerity don’t deserve sincerity in return.”
Madam Wan's eyes gradually cleared, and she looked at Feng Xiaowan again.
Feng Xiaowan quickly nodded: "You're right!"
Qiaoxiu: "You did nothing wrong."
If Sister Qingqing says it's right, then it's right!
Lin Ye: "You're not wrong. Only true sincerity deserves true sincerity! Those who say you're wrong haven't experienced your pain, so they can only make sarcastic remarks."
Madam Wan's eyes gradually hardened.
"Yes, I did nothing wrong."
There will always be people who support her.
Just because someone dies doesn't mean that right and wrong can be reversed.
...
The four men were taken to the yamen and immediately imprisoned.
The constables seemed to have been instructed to recognize Lu Qingqing. After carefully inquiring about what had happened, they said that those people would not come out again.
As for the people behind them, Magistrate Xu will investigate them immediately upon his return.
Judging from the situation, neither the Xu father nor his son are present.
On his way home from the yamen, he saw the Wan family's carriage speeding towards him.
"mother--"
When Wan Yuting jumped off the carriage, he staggered and lost his composure, his face full of anxiety and fear.
"mother!"
He rushed over and saw Mingqiu helping Madam Wan out of the carriage, and reached out to help her as well.
Madam Wan stepped aside, passed him, and walked towards the Wan family's carriage.
Wan Yuting stood there, frozen.
"Tch~ What are you pretending to be, a filial son!" Lu Yun scoffed.
With a flick of the whip.
The car wheel ran over Wan Yuting's foot.
Sixi: "Uncle, we just bumped around a bit. What do you think we ran over? Let's see who guesses right. Whoever guesses right gets to drive."
Lu Yun: "It's definitely not a stone, it's not that turbulent. I guess... a passing frog?"
Si Xi shook his head, "I guess it's cow dung."
The two craned their necks to look back.
There was nothing on the road.
Only on Wan Yuting's black satin shoes was there a clear tire mark.
But he didn't react; he just stood there, staring at us like a fool.
Lu Yun patted the horse's rump: "Congcong, hurry up! Wait until he realizes what's happening and wants us to pay him back!"
