Yu looked at the two of them, a smug smile on her lips.

The second young lady really does what she says!

She was promised that she would let Mother Zhang pour the night incense, and sure enough, as soon as Mother Zhang entered Bixiyuan, she started doing the job of pouring night incense.

Let this bitch, who used to be the most respectable among the servants, have a taste of what it feels like to deal with feces every day.

And Yang Laoliu, this unfaithful man, deserves it!

"Hey, it's you two. Wow, are you getting used to living in Bixiyuan?" Yu smiled as she looked at the two people who were pushing the cart with blushing faces.

Mother Zhang stopped pushing the cart, stood up, and glared at Mrs. Yu: "Stop being so sarcastic, it's all your fault!"

However, Yang Laoliu pulled Zhang's mother's sleeve, signaling her not to be impulsive.

Yu chuckled, "My fault? Didn't you two ask for it? When you two were having fun hiding in the carriage, didn't you expect this day to come?"

Mother Zhang's face suddenly turned red.

Yang Laoliu raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, then smiled at Yu.

"Are you here to see the Second Miss?"

Yu turned her head away: "It's none of your business!"

Yang Laoliu simply put down the manure cart, walked closer, lowered his head and whispered to Yu:

"A husband and wife for a day is a hundred days of grace. Even now, we are still husband and wife... When you go in later, why don't you ask the Second Miss for a favor and ask her to ask someone to change our job..."

Yu was almost laughing out of anger.

She looked Yang Laoliu up and down from head to toe, and then sighed:

"I was so blinded by greed that I didn't realize that you are not only shameless, but also heartless!"

She worked for the Second Young Miss so that she could make the decision for her and teach these two shameless people a lesson.

How ridiculous that Yang Laoliu wanted her to plead for him?

No, he said for them!

Pooh!

Yu spat on Yang Laoliu, turned and left, leaving Mother Zhang and Yang Laoliu standing there angrily looking at her back.

"Hmph, now that you see that I'm in such a bad state, you're thinking about making peace with her, right?" Mother Zhang had no place to vent her anger, so she could only quarrel with Yang Laoliu.

Yang Laoliu turned back to comfort her: "Aiya, what are you thinking? I didn't mean that... I begged her because I didn't want you to suffer any more, right?"

Although the second young lady brought them back that day, she promised not to keep idle people.

The two of them didn't think much about it.

The two of them were just servants and didn't want to be idle.

But after entering Bixiyuan, the maid in charge of Bixiyuan said that the only vacancy was for the job of pouring night incense, and there was no other job that could be assigned to them, so they had no choice but to accept it.

After all, if I were caught by the Shen family when I left Bixi Garden, I would probably lose my life...

Mother Zhang bit her lip and stopped talking.

She is not confused.

Last time, Yu was able to catch them committing adultery together with the Second Miss’s people, and today she successfully entered Bixiyuan again.

Apparently, he has become the Second Young Lady's man in private.

The current situation between her and Yang Laoliu may require Yu's intervention to change it.

But how could Yu open her mouth so easily?

Instead of asking Mrs. Yu to speak, it would be better to find a way to make a great contribution to the Second Young Lady...

Lingfeng Pavilion.

"General, Madam, Yang Laoliu's family is here." Fan'er came into the house and reported.

"Let her in." Shen Qingyin ordered.

Yu walked quickly into the house and told everyone about the Shen family's current situation, waiting for Shen Qingyin's next instructions.

After listening to this, Shen Qingyin lowered his eyes and thought.

According to what Yu said, the old lady and Du were obviously unaware of Shen Zhinian's collusion with the bandits...

Shen Qingyin asked Yu to wait outside first, and then make a decision after she discussed it with the general.

Just as Yu agreed to go out, Mu Xiaodao came in.

"Sir, Madam, although Shen Zhinian had no choice but to admit that he was in collusion with the bandits, he insisted that he knew nothing about the girl's body found by the lake more than two years ago. He has been tortured and has passed out..."

Mu Xiaodao told everyone everything that happened in court.

Shen Qingyin frowned as he heard this.

The corpse of the little girl in the lake was most likely the poor Bai Xiaohua from Baijia Village. However, after Shen Zhinian took Bai Xiaohua away from Baijia Village, no one knew her whereabouts.

Originally, Shen Zhinian was accompanied by two servants, but when Bai Xiaohua disappeared at the roadside tea stall, all the servants were sent away by Shen Zhinian. How Bai Xiaohua disappeared was all up to Shen Zhinian.

"Shen Zhinian would rather be tortured than confess. I'm afraid he is holding on because he is sure that no one knows the real story." said Mu Beiyan, who had been listening quietly.

Shen Qingyin nodded: "That's right, according to the laws of our Beixin Dynasty, if he admits to colluding with the bandits, he still has a chance of survival, but if he admits to harming Bai Xiaohua, he will not be able to survive."

"A glimmer of hope?" Mu Beiyan seemed to be thinking about something.

After a moment, his eyes lit up: "What if we cut off his chance of survival?"

Shen Qingyin looked at Mu Beiyan, waiting for him to continue.

"He was able to hold on, firstly because he was sure that no one knew the truth, and secondly because there must be hope. This hope is naturally the Shen family. Besides this, there is another thing."

"What is it?"

"According to the confession of the bandit leader Scar Liu, they have distributed a lot of money to Shen Zhinian over the years. But since the old lady and Mrs. Du obviously didn't know that Shen Zhinian was colluding with the bandits, where did the money Shen Zhinian got from Scar Liu go?"

Shen Qingyin was stunned.

Suddenly I understood.

"You mean, he's holding on because he knows he still has the Shen family and money to rely on?"

Mu Beiyan nodded.

According to the crimes Shen Zhinian has admitted so far, he will be sentenced to exile for at least 3,000 miles.

Very few people can survive the three thousand miles of exile, it can almost be described as a life-or-death struggle.

In this life, besides having a strong body, another thing you must have is money.

Without money to support you, it would be a pipe dream to reach the place of exile smoothly.

If it were someone else, they might not know.

But Shen Zhinian had been the county magistrate for many years, so he naturally knew the reason behind it.

"If he knew that the Shen family no longer cared about him and all his money was gone, would he still continue to hold on?" Mu Beiyan asked again.

Shen Qingyin's lips curled up slightly.

That probably won’t happen.

At least, you can give it a try.

Shen Qingyin asked Faner to call Yu in and explained everything to her in detail.

Only after he was sure that Yu understood did he let her go back.

When Yu returned to the Shen family, it was almost dusk.

Many of the idle people who had originally gathered at the entrance of the Shen family had left.

But thanks to the arrangements of Mu Beiyan and Shen Qingyin, many people soon gathered around.

Yu pushed the empty manure cart to the corner gate and called out.

Mrs. Du and the old lady had been waiting anxiously inside.

Recognizing Yu's voice, he hurriedly ordered someone to open the corner door and let Yu in.

A few idle people followed Yu and threw dirty things into the yard, which frightened the old lady and Du again.

After walking a little further away from the side door, Mrs. Du asked anxiously:

"Tell me quickly, what on earth did the master do wrong?"
