The protagonist chased the villain, and Tiandao screamed in anger

Hearing this, Yue Niang was stunned. She had been kneeling on the ground for a long time and was already very tired. She lost her balance and fell to the ground.

Free marriage? Give her a dowry...

Yue Niang lowered her head and clenched her fingers that were supporting herself on the ground.

She didn't believe it! This was a lie! He had seen her climb onto Mr. Yao's big boat, and was afraid that she would be favored, so he whispered in her ear to take revenge on the You family, so he pretended to say this!

If you wanted to let her go, why didn't you say so earlier? If you wanted to give her freedom, why did you insist on making her a child bride for a fool?

Now that Wang Cuzi is dead, no one can threaten her anymore, and Shi Ping is certainly not stupid enough to expose his crimes!

Now that she has freed herself, this man pretends to be sincere and says that he has already planned her future!

How funny! Why should she marry a peasant? She already has better options, right?

“…Thank you, Madam, for your thoughtful consideration.” Yue Niang knelt down with her head bowed and thanked her in a stiff tone.

Looking at Yue Niang's reaction, Mrs. You realized that Yue Niang was angry, but she was also taking the initiative to fight for a good future for herself.

But is the road ahead that she is determined to take really easy?

"Get up, I will ask Cai Mo to take you to Hengyang Pavilion to live first. Although time is a little tight, you will not be short of wedding clothes and dowry. The You family has raised you, and we can still afford these things."

Mrs. You's voice grew colder, but after all, they were master and servant, and she would not hold back on giving the things that she had already planned.

"Thank you, Madam!" Yue Niang softened her tone when she heard that Madam You was going to give a dowry. She took Madam You's attitude into consideration and thanked him more sincerely.

Mrs. You felt a little tired and a little sad. After all, she had raised Yue Niang for so long and she had some feelings for her.

But for such a big matter, this girl didn't even discuss it at all, and actually let her own face and the You family's face be trampled under the feet of others.

It seems as if he had already separated from them a long time ago.

Mrs. You felt a chill in her heart. She waved her hand and called Cai Mo to take the person away.

"Go ahead" I hope you won't regret the path you have chosen.

It was dusk. Outside the back door of the You mansion, a small sedan chair was parked. Four men carrying the sedan chair, two servants and the maidservant of Madam Yao were waiting outside the door, waiting to welcome back the twelfth concubine of the Yao family.

"Hmph, you're so slow, just like a petty person!" The maidservant had disliked Yue Niang since daytime, and was assigned by Madam Yao to take on a tough job, so naturally she was full of complaints.

Yue Niang was wearing a rose-red wedding dress and holding a box of silver jewelry bought by Madam You. She was supported by Cai Mo as she went out the door.

"Auntie, please get into the sedan chair," Cai Mo said in a low voice, and handed the large bag of bedding that Yue Niang was holding to the impatient maid beside her.

The maid took it with disdain, pushed Yue Niang into the narrow sedan chair, and urged: "Hurry up, if you are late, the master will be unhappy."

With the veil on her head, Yue Niang nearly fell over, but fortunately she quickly raised her legs and feet to stabilize her body.

The maid pushed her hand secretly and pinched her. Yue Niang felt that the skin must have turned purple, but at this moment, Yue Niang didn't want to care about it.

Enduring the pain, Yue Niang sat in the sedan chair and hugged the box tightly in her arms. She took a deep breath, knowing that only when she entered Master Yao's mansion and met Master Yao, would her good days begin.

The men lifted the sedan chair and staggered out of the back door of You Mansion.

[Hey, that servant?] When passing by the lantern on the street corner, Tiandao saw the appearance of one of the servants in the dim light.

[It's Xue Hai] Riding on the wall, eating cherries freshly picked from the treetops on the wall, You Mu confirmed Tiandao's guess.

[How did he become a servant of the Yao family? ]

【Only when everyone is gathered together can a great show be staged, right? 】

You Mu supported his head with his palms and stuffed the cherries into his mouth one by one with his right hand.

[That's true, but how did you know Xue Hai was back and had entered the Yao residence? ]

[You really only care about your belly but not your brain. Do you think that I wasted my time wandering around last time? ]

From the known plot, Xue Hai actually knew that he had angered his father to death.

In this era, information was blocked and transportation was slow, so the death of a person in the countryside would at most be reported to the county town. How did Xue Hai, who ran away with the money, get to know the news?

Of course I have been back.

According to Xue Hai's idle nature, plus the money he took when he ran away, it was only enough for him to waste two or three months.

After the money was spent, Xue Hai, who was used to relying on his parents for food and clothing and didn't know that his father had passed away, thought that everything would be fine if he could avoid the limelight for a while, so he naturally came back.

You Mu calculated the time and spent money to ask the half-grown children who made a living as waiters in teahouses and taverns to keep an eye on the people who had come and gone recently. Sure enough, they found Xue Hai's trace.

Hearing that his father had died of anger due to him, Xue Hai dared not go home. After the money he had was used up, he looked for a few jobs, but they were either too tired or too unpaid, and he spent many days without finding a permanent job.

Just when he was poor and worried about being hungry, he received a note from a little boy following You Mu's instructions.

Xue Hai, half believing and half doubting, replaced Xue He and went to the wealthy Yao Mansion and became a servant of the Yao family.

[Last time... I was just busy eating!] Tiandao smiled awkwardly, and felt that he could only play a decorative role in his work.

[By the way, although Yue Niang was sent to the Yao Mansion, your family made that person lose face and offended others in today's scene. Isn't that bad? ]

[Soon, the Yao family will lose power]

The last time You Mu was brought back by Master You for a medical consultation, the doctor who took his pulse was the one who came back from Kyoto.

For an old man with gray hair, Kyoto would be the most suitable place for retirement, so why did he suddenly resign and come to this remote county town?

Apart from the fact that the old doctor was seeking hardship to temper his endurance, there was another reason why he had to leave.

In fact, it was nothing more than being involved in the struggle among court officials and fearing that his life would be in danger that he fled Kyoto in such a hurry.

Under the influence of alcohol, You Mu got some information about Kyoto from the drunk old doctor.

The most intense factional struggle in Kyoto today is the fight between the Crown Prince's faction and the Second Prince's faction.

The reason why Xue He's escort agency was disbanded was because the goods were lost, which offended the officials of the prince's faction.

The overt and covert struggles in Kyoto were endless and the officials there were isolated from the news and were naturally trembling with fear for being implicated.

Magistrate Yao is very powerful in the county, but if he falls into the hands of those officials from the capital, he can be easily crushed to death like an ant.

Although His Majesty has lived in the palace for a long time, the world is so big that there are spies in the emperor's hands everywhere, including spies of officials in Kyoto and many who stay in the local areas.

The smaller the official, the more cautious he is. Even if he is not at the center of power, he will worry about bringing disaster upon himself by standing on the wrong side.

The escort agency was supervised by County Magistrate Yao himself, who said that valuable goods were lost, leading to the agency's disbandment.

In fact, they were involved in the dispute between the two factions. County Magistrate Yao abandoned his car to save his master, and ordered the shops in the county not to accept these guys who escorted the goods, making his position clear to his superiors.

According to the old doctor, during this period of time, the emperor seems to have started to get close to the second prince and neglected the crown prince.

This news concerns the crown prince and is extremely important.

As for what You Muneng was able to ask, he guessed that County Magistrate Yao must have known it after the doctor arrived in the county and settled down.

Because of these interests, You Mu gave a suggestion to Xue Hai who was at his wit's end.
