However, in a short while, Xiao Nuofu, wearing a moon-white round-necked robe with a black gauze hat, walked out smiling, and without saying much, ordered someone to lead the horse and ride up, and went to Liu's house together with everyone.
Xiao Nu Guan Ma approached, smiling humbly and said: "Congratulations, Mrs. He."
"It's all thanks to the blessings of the Eldest Princess."
Xiao Nu Guan smiled slightly: "I heard that last night, Qinghua Junzhu and the madam went out for a stroll together, chatting happily?"
Peony looked at Xiao Nvguan with a puzzled expression, wondering what she meant. Could it be that she had strolled and chatted with Qinghua Junzhu, enjoying each other's company? It was clear that they were mutually disgusted, hating each other to the bone. At that time, there were so many people on the street, mixed together like fish and dragons. Since everyone knew they had met, why ask in such a way, obviously trying to make her forget? No matter how good others said Kang Cheng Chang Gongzhu was, she was still Qinghua Junzhu's aunt, and they were in cahoots with each other. What were they accusing her of? But when asked to admit to chatting happily, Peony refused, and instead replied vaguely: "We met halfway and exchanged a couple of words."
Xiao Nu Guan smiled and said: "Madam is a kind-hearted person, she will surely have good fortune in the future."
The peony is inexplicable. After thinking about it, as long as I and others ultimately benefit and are safe without great harm, that's all that matters. If you can't figure it out, what can you do? You can't bite off a piece of Tsinghua County's flesh. The peony thought so, and also put down its worries, opening up its heart.
A group of people came out of the gate of Anxingfang, and suddenly saw a group of young men walking towards them with laughter. The leader was wearing red lantern pants, with his two arms exposed, holding a steaming hot rice cake in his hand, shouting "hot" while stuffing it into his mouth, closing his eyes contentedly and saying: "Really can't be described as beautiful, can't be described as beautiful." It was Zhang Wulang.
The people behind him laughed and said: "What can't be described as beautiful is not steamed millet, but the beauty of peony!"
Peony took one glance, sucked in a breath of cold air, and knew she couldn't avoid it, so she had no choice but to confess her crime to Officer Xiao, then followed He Zhizhong and Dalang down from the horse, stepping forward to greet them and express gratitude.
Zhang Wulang didn't expect to run into them so early, and he quickly swallowed the bun in his mouth, stuffed the remaining half-bun into his companion's hand, wiped his hands on his waist twice, and stepped forward to greet He Zhizhong and others with a dignified bow. This time he was very serious, not even glancing at Peony, and when he heard He Zhizhong thank him, he responded with modest courtesy. The people behind him were covering their mouths and snickering, but when Zhang turned around and gave them a stern glare, they immediately composed themselves, folded their arms, and fell silent.
He Zhizhong ordered Mudan to go forward and give Zhang Wulang a gift of blessings, then smiled and said: "We still have important things to attend to, let's invite Wulang to drink again another day."
Zhang Wulang repeatedly said he didn't dare to disturb, seeing the He family members got on their horses, only then did he stare at Peony's back, hating that he couldn't see through two holes. Seeing the He family members walk far away, everyone laughed and said: "Fifth brother, why come here at this time? It can be seen that originally wanted to go to Danning Fang to look for you. Only halfway encountered something, and had no choice but to hurry back."
Zhang Wulang said in a cold voice, "Don't spout nonsense! That woman with the hood is clearly a female official from Princess Chang's mansion. She might be helping He's family. He's fourth brother is friends with me, his sister is like my own sister. Whoever slanders her should beware of their own tongue." As he watched Peony and others turn around Yongxing Alley, blocked by the wall and disappearing from view, he snatched the remaining half of the steamed millet cake that had been left over earlier, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed hard until his jaw ached before swallowing.
A group of people arrived at Liu's mansion. Peony and Xue did not enter the mansion, but were led by Xiao Nu Guan to take He Zhizhong and his father in.
Liu Chengcai exaggeratedly wrapped his head with a white cloth, supported by two family servants, humming and hobbling out to greet them, repeatedly apologizing. He Zhitong knew he was going to extort again, so he had to pretend to ask after his well-being, but Liu Chengcai didn't say much in front of Xiao Nvguan, just saying that he was injured by a wicked person.
In front of Xiao Nvguan, He Zhizhong accepted Peony's divorce letter and took out the guarantee letter written by Liu Chengcai to burn it. Then he wanted to leave. Liu Chengcai didn't see the contract, panicked, and let out a loud cry, startling Xiao Nvguan: "Liu Shangshu, what's wrong with you? Hurry up and rest, ask the imperial doctor to take a look, who is the culprit, report it to the Jingzhao government office? How can such a villain be allowed to run amok under heaven?"
Liu Chengcai thanked Xiao Nvguan for her concern, while glancing at He Zhizhong with his eyes: "The murderer has already been found out to be hiding somewhere, and was just about to send someone to report to the Jingzhao government."
Old thing, die of stubbornness, grasping the point of whisker tail immediately got entangled, He Zhizhong smiled faintly and took out a paper folded into a square from his sleeve: "Happened to have a prescription here, most useful for treating injuries, would Liu Shangshu like to try?"
Liu Chengcai said: "I am a patient who is in urgent need of treatment, and I want to try this unconventional method to cure my illness." As he spoke, he hastily took the prescription from He Zhizhong's hand, opened it and saw that it was indeed the contract signed by the two families. Thinking that this evil thing had finally returned to his own hands, he felt a great sense of relief and joy, exclaiming: "What a wonderful medicine!" As he spoke, he ordered someone to bring out gifts to express his gratitude to Xiao Nvguan.
Xiao Nu Guan smiled and accepted, but then said: "The eldest princess has ordered that in cases of divorce or separation among the common people, even ordinary families should give gifts to show generosity... He Shi's daughter..."
Before she finished speaking, Liu Chengcai understood. It's actually saying that Peony has been wronged and needs to be compensated, which is to help Qinghua County Master resolve grievances and assist the royal family in covering up the truth. The money should come from the Liu family. Although it hurts, Liu Chengcai thought that this small amount of money compared to the He family's money was nothing. He immediately said to Xiao Nu Guan: "To be honest with you, I've always felt guilty towards this child and had someone prepare 2,000 strings of cash. It will be sent over now." After finishing speaking, he ordered someone to pack the money in a box and send it out immediately.
Xiao Nu Guan furrowed her brow, not speaking. Liu Chengcai hastily probed: "There are still twenty top-grade silks." Xiao Nu Guan felt that this number was fairly satisfactory, and both parties could save face, so she didn't say anything more.
Liu's steward received the order and went in to find Zhen. He stated his intention and asked Mrs. Qi for the keys to the warehouse and the plaque. Before he had even finished speaking, Mrs. Qi smashed the ceramic tea cup in her hand to pieces on the ground and gritted her teeth, saying: "Why should I give that woman any more money?" She refused to hand them over.
The housekeeper was at a loss, standing silently under the corridor with his hands hanging down, frequently making eye contact with Zhu Yaoyao. Just as Zhu Yaoyao poked her head out, she was hit by a porcelain pillow and fell to the ground, dazed and confused. She stretched out her hand to touch her forehead, only to find it sticky and bright red, and let out a sharp cry before fainting.
Madam Qi watched with an unusual calmness, without a hint of worry or fear. Seeing Nian'er about to step forward to assist, she coldly smiled and said: "This temple is too small to hold her, have her leave at once. From now on, don't let her come in to attend to me again."
Madam Zhu had just caught her breath when she heard this and fainted again.
Nian Nu'er sighed, went forward and knelt down in front of Qi Furen, knocking her head on the ground, saying: "Madam, please take care of your own body, there's no need to get angry over these things that aren't worth it. Otherwise, it really isn't worth it."
Madam Qi listened to this and was somewhat satisfied, but still coldly smiled and said: "What's going on? Are you trying to plead for someone again?"
Niang'er lifted her head and looked at her sincerely: "I just think that the mistress's body is the most important, everything else doesn't matter."
The housekeeper feared that they would be delayed and miss something important, so he hastily said: "Madam, the master is also having a hard time."
Madam Qi merely held her breath and didn't know that her husband couldn't bear to part with it even more, so in the end she let out a sigh and handed the key over to Nianslave.
Madam, I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again. Please forgive me for the sake of my decades of service to you.
Madam Qi saw her tears and blood mingling, hummed a sound, and said viciously: "Our family has been very lenient with He Shi's daughter. She was ill and couldn't bear children, and she loved to stir up trouble, but we didn't hold it against her. I hope she can marry another high-ranking official." As she spoke, she looked at Zhu Mama.
The old nun was silent for a moment, then knocked her head heavily on the ground and said: "I understand."
Madam Qi turned her head towards the pearl curtain and hummed: "You go down and take your medicine."
After leaving the house, he led the He family to the capital government office to apply for a divorce certificate and completed the divorce procedures. He accepted the generous gift from the He family, brought the gift that He Zhizhong had prepared to thank the Princess, and returned to the Princess's mansion to report back without mentioning it.
Peony knew what was going on and whispered to He Zhizhong, "Dad, the old thief is clearly blackmailing him. After he got that contract, he won't let those few uncles off the hook. We'll be at a loss if we don't pressure him."
He Zhong shook his head and sighed, "Dan Niang, I'm not doing this to please the old thief, but it's necessary. Firstly, I promised to return the contract to him if he gave us the divorce letter, without asking for money in return. Although we've borrowed power now, in reality, he doesn't want to return the money and is using the contract to cause trouble for us, which is another headache. It's better to cut ties cleanly; secondly, the Li family got into this trouble because of our family matters. Now that the old thief is threatening to report to the Jingzhao government, no matter how much money it takes, I must generously pay up. His greed is his problem, but we can't be stingy, or else nobody will be willing to help us in the future."
"Alas, I'm not being stingy, I just think it's too cheap for him." Considering Liu Chengcai's character, he might even try to extort the 2,000 yuan back later on. When others get divorced, they can often squeeze out more money, but she didn't even get all of her dowry back and ended up giving away a lot of wealth. She brought so much trouble upon herself and caused others so much worry. It's clear that everything comes with a price, and climbing the dragon's scales isn't as easy as it seems.
He Zhizhong couldn't help but smile slightly when he saw her looking down and depressed. He gently patted her shoulder: "Silly child, look at you, today is such a big happy event, why aren't you happy and excited? Why do you have to think about these things? These things will be handled by me and your brothers, just be happy and carefree, do whatever you want."
"Alright then, listen to your father. Let's go see your uncle first, and then we'll have a happy family reunion."
He Zhongxiao knew that she was always heavy-hearted and didn't say anything, but in her heart, she was also worried about the money spent by her family on her. So he leaned over to her ear and whispered: "Don't worry, we have another plan for the Liu family, and they will definitely return the money. As for this matter, just listen to what your sister-in-law says next time and follow what she says. Got it?"
Peony fell silent for a moment, but in her heart, she was thinking of another plan.
