Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

Mrs. Lin only asked Cheng Xiaoyu, Cheng Hua and Li Yuan to take off their collars, but left Cheng Wan and Gu Yu alone.

It's not that Mrs. Lin thinks the hairpin on Cheng Wan's head and the ring on Gu Yu's waist are worthless, but that Mrs. Lin feels that the hairpin and ring are not that big or eye-catching compared to the necklace.

In addition, Mrs. Lin felt from the bottom of her heart that it would be difficult for thieves to get close to Cheng Wan.

Mrs. Lin placed the red silk cloth wrapped with three necklaces between Cheng Wan and Gu Yu's bodies, and whispered to Gu Yu.

"Sui Sui, you put your head on A Wan's shoulder, with your body facing backward, eh? Yes, that's it. Sui Sui, you must hug it well and don't let it fall. If you feel that it is going to fall, , just tell Awan quickly, do you understand?"

Gu Yu nodded seriously and rested his chin on Cheng Wan's shoulder, "I know."

Cheng Wan smiled and touched the back of Gu Yu's head, "Let's go, let's go to Guxing Tower to catch our carriage."

At the same time, in the county magistrate's mansion, in the room where Xu Zhinian's father was resting, Mrs. Xu was telling Magistrate Xu what happened today.

"Ugh!"

Mrs. Xu sighed heavily.

"I really feel sorry for my aunt. She was staying well in Guxing Building, waiting for me to go home for dinner in the evening. I invited her here, but she suffered so much grievance."

Magistrate Xu stretched out his hand to wipe his wife's tears, and comforted him in a warm voice: "You also have good intentions. Besides, my aunt has said it. I don't blame you. Don't blame yourself too much."

"This Youyi is getting more and more outrageous. How did she become such a mean person now? She actually used the principles of life that my brother taught her here."

Mrs. Xu shed tears again as she spoke.

"Ms. sir, she clearly knows that Wan Yatou is a good friend of Nian Nian, and the aunt is Wan Yatou's biological grandmother. She is undoubtedly putting the aunt's face on the ground by attacking her in public. She...she has nothing in her eyes. There is no cousin Nian Nian, and no... no aunt like me!"

Mrs. Xu sat on the stool, lying beside the bed and sobbing sadly.

Magistrate Xu sighed and touched the back of Mrs. Xu's head.

"Ruochun, Huang Xiruo was locked up in a small ancestral hall by his brother's order. He was not allowed to leave for many years, and his children were not allowed to see him. Huang Xiruo is Youyi's mother. He grew up with Youyi since childhood. The affection between their mother and daughter is no better than yours. It’s different from Nian Nian.”

Mrs. Xu raised her head and looked at Magistrate Xu with eyes red from crying.

"Tell me, in your heart, does Youyi blame our family, or even... hate."

"After all, from her perspective, if we hadn't come to join our brother, none of this would have happened. His parents' relationship is quite harmonious, and the whole family is happy."

Mrs. Xu was stunned, "But...but we are close relatives! I am her biological aunt. Our family is in trouble, so we come here to seek refuge with our relatives. This...isn't this too much?" ?"

"Furthermore, Huang Xiruo has ended up where she is today because she said the wrong thing and did the wrong thing. She deserves it! Could it be that Youyi can't even distinguish the most basic right from wrong? Those principles my brother taught her , all the books she read...have been forgotten?"

Magistrate Xu sighed again, "Ruochun, knowing is one thing, but doing it is another. Even though Huang Xiruo treats us badly in many ways, he is a loving mother to Youyi."

"Once people are involved in love, they become confused even if they are not confused."

Mrs. Xu was stunned for a long time. She took a deep breath, pursed the corners of her mouth, and suppressed the sobs that returned to her throat.

She didn't understand those principles, but she just didn't want to think deeply about them.

She always thought that as long as she didn't think about it and looked forward, it would always be over, and their family would still be relatives and live in harmony.

But the reality was before her eyes, and she could no longer tolerate pretending to be stupid.

Suddenly, Mrs. Xu's expression froze.

She looked at Magistrate Xu with wide eyes, fear and resistance in her eyes.

"Mr...Mr. Gong, what about my brother? Could he be blaming us for not coming here and making his family uneasy?"

Magistrate Xu shook his head, "No."

"And my father and mother, they went to Zhuangzi the day after what happened. Are they also blaming us for having too many things and don't want to see us?"

"Ruochun, listen to me."

"By the way, there is Wenzhou, Wenzhou him"

"Mao Ruochun!"

"Cough! Cough! Cough!"

Mrs. Xu suddenly came back to her senses. She couldn't think of anything else and quickly stood up to help County Magistrate Xu carry her on her back.

"How's it going? Is it feeling better? I'll call the doctor right away."

Magistrate Xu took Mrs. Xu's hand and shook his head at her.

"I'm fine. I choked because I was anxious. You sit down."

Mrs. Xu's eyes were red and swollen, and she sat on the stool in a daze.

Magistrate Xu gently squeezed Mrs. Xu's hand and said warmly: "Ruochun, you can't kill everyone just because you have Yi Yi. That would be unfair to those who are really good to you and care about you."

"Brother really loves you and doesn't want you to suffer any injustice. Your father-in-law and mother-in-law also regard you as the apple of their eyes. Didn't they tell us specifically before they went to Zhuangzi? The place in Zhuangzi is pure and is more suitable for my father-in-law to rest."

Magistrate Xu wiped away the tears on Mrs. Xu's chin with his fingers, and said in a soft but powerful voice, "Ruochun, there are so many people who care about you, why should you make yourself so sad because of a Youyi who doesn't care about you?"

Mrs. Xu was stunned for a few breaths and then burst into laughter.

"You're right! I'm really stunned. Wan Yatou beat Youyi like that in front of my brother today. My brother only asked Wan Yatou to spare Youyi's life. It shows that my brother is a little bit Not confused either!”

County Magistrate Xu lowered his eyes, his eyes flashed, and said to himself: "Brother, apart from knowing who is right and who is wrong, and knowing that Wan Yatou and Niannian have a special relationship, the bigger reason is probably because he knows Wan Yatou. You must have a personal relationship with Prince Mu and Mr. Gu. No father can watch his daughter being beaten, even if the daughter is ineffective. He has been an official for many years and is now a county guard. How can he be so kind and easy to talk to? ?”

Naturally, Magistrate Xu would not tell Mrs. Xu these thoughts in his heart.

Inside the house, the couple whispered to each other, and soon Mrs. Xu was coaxed by Magistrate Xu.

In a small noodle shop in Shuoyang City, Cheng Wan and Mrs. Lin were eating.

Originally, Mrs. Lin wanted to go home to eat, but Cheng Wan convinced her that she would have to cook it specially for them when they got home, so it would be better to eat in the city and then go back to save the trouble.

Mrs. Lin took a big mouthful of noodles and swallowed it, and sighed: "That Commander Mao is such a good person. Today, Miss Mao was beaten like that by you, but he didn't even settle the score with you, and asked you to forgive him." I won Miss Mao this time. Tsk, how do you describe it? Just...it's weird."

Cheng Wan blinked. She was thinking the same thing as Magistrate Xu.

Cheng Wan admitted that Commander Mao was a rare person who could distinguish right from wrong and be open-minded. But today, Commander Mao was so talkative and kept his attitude so low. Cheng Wan felt that Commander Mao was not only worried about Mrs. Xu and Niannian, but also worried about Mrs. Xu and Niannian. Mu Shizi and Gu Gongzi.
