"Mrs. Li, today's matter is the fault of my Zhao family. Wanqing's personality is simple and she doesn't know much about the world. That's why she was bewitched by Jiang Cuihua. Please don't hold a grudge in your heart! I apologize to you on behalf of Wanqing! "
The old lady also felt that she couldn't hit her too hard, so she put down her walking stick. She turned around and looked at Han Yuxi with a guilty expression.
After saying that, she even wanted to kneel down and beg for forgiveness.
"Mother! No, all of this is my fault! "
Xia Wanqing was shocked and quickly pulled the old lady back, not letting her kneel down.
Han Yuxi was also shocked. She ran over and held the old lady's hand, saying, "Mrs. Zhao, you don't have to do this! Your son and my husband can be considered brothers who fought side by side and shared life and death together. And you're so righteous. I can't even thank you enough. How can I blame you?! "
The old lady waved her hand and said stubbornly, "Mrs. Li, this matter isn't settled like this. Although my son has made contributions to the war under Lord Jue, that's that. If my son knew that after he died, someone was still using his name to ruin Lord Jue's reputation, my son would definitely die with a grievance!
Lord Jue loved his soldiers like his children. Si Wei was a person who valued relationships and righteousness when he was alive. It was his honor to be able to serve under Lord Jue. It was also his misfortune to die in battle on Snake Spirit Mountain. This old lady knows that Lord Jue has already done his best! You don't owe this old lady anything. Instead, this old lady owes Lord Jue! "
Han Yuxi was both happy and heartbroken to meet such a righteous old lady. A white-haired person sending off a black-haired person. What in the world could compare to this kind of grief?
Old lady Zhao could still maintain her rationality and understand things when she was in great sorrow. No one could compare to this kind of benevolence!
"Mrs. Zhao, please don't say that! Sister Wanqing only believed the slanderous words of a villain. This was an unintentional mistake. My husband and I won't take it to heart! On the other hand, Mrs. Zhao, you're so righteous and helped my husband resolve the crisis. This junior still has to thank you! Xiao He, help Aunty Zhao into the house. It's hot outside! "
Han Yuxi patiently comforted old Madam Zhao with a few words, and then wanted Xiao He to help the old lady in to rest. The farce this morning had developed to this point. Basically, the crisis had been resolved, and Li Zexuan's reputation would not be affected because of this. Next was some finishing work.
"No, no, no! Madam Li, you're magnanimous enough to not bicker with us, but this old woman doesn't have the face to enter this door! You just said that you would give my family ten strings of money every year. Don't mention this again. Si Wei's spirit in heaven would definitely not agree ~! She only hoped that the Lord of the Supreme Court would severely punish Jiang Cuihua, this gossipy woman who stirred up trouble! My son has already shed blood on the battlefield. We can't let him shed tears in the netherworld because of these villains who use his name to do whatever they want! "
Old Madam Zhao hurriedly refused. Then, she pointed at Jiang Cuihua, who was being held down by everyone, and said hatefully.
"Auntie Zhao is right! Punish me severely! "
"Yes! Don't let the name of a hero be used by villains! "
"Punish the villain! Punish Jiang Cuihua severely! "
Old Madam Zhao's words resonated with many people. The onlookers clapped their hands and cheered. The martyr's widows who were kneeling on the ground felt embarrassed. Even an old lady in her sixties or seventies could be so righteous. In comparison, they seemed like villains!
"Madam Jue, our family doesn't want the ten strings of money every year. If Chang De's spirit in heaven knew that I did such a thing, he would definitely scold me in his dreams!"
"Madam Jue, our family doesn't want the pension anymore. Previously, I listened to Jiang Cuihua's rumors. I didn't mean to ruin Lord Jue's reputation!"
"Our family doesn't want it either. We have offended you previously. Please forgive us, Madam Jue!"
.....
Xu Xinhe was the first to stand up. She wanted to decline the ten strings of money every year that Han Yuxi had mentioned earlier. Although without a man and a pillar of support, her future days would definitely be very difficult. However, if she took this kind of money, she would be criticized by others behind her back.
Instead of living under the scolding of others for the rest of her life, Xu Xinhe felt that it was better to work hard and live freely.
If there was one, there would be a second. Some thin-skinned and kind-hearted women stood up one after another and declined Han Yuxi.
The remaining dozen or so sat on the mattress as if they were sitting on pins and needles. Their faces were burning.
Han Yuxi first smiled and said to old Madam Zhao, "Madam Zhao, don't worry. I will hand Jiang Cuihua over to the Supreme Court and let them interrogate her properly. When my husband returns, he will also go to the Supreme Court to personally inquire about this matter."
Then, she said to the group of women, "As for the pension, it's a little token of appreciation from my husband and I. I hope that Madam Zhao and all the sisters won't refuse! Otherwise, my husband won't be able to sleep at night! Everyone, just treat it as helping my husband to fulfill one of his wishes ~! Yuxi thanks you here! "
After saying that, Han Yuxi faced the crowd and bowed graciously.
"Aiyo! No way ~! No! "
Old Madam Zhao hurriedly grabbed Han Yuxi's arm and said, "How can you give money to others and still thank them? Madam Li, you're asking for too much! "
Han Yuxi smiled and said, "Madam Zhao, what I said just now came from the bottom of my heart, so please help my husband with this! Besides, I heard that Big Brother Zhao has a daughter. Take this money as the dowry that we're giving to our daughter! "
"That's right! Madam Zhao, if you don't accept this money, I reckon that my Lord Jue will personally send it to your residence when he returns, so you'd better accept it! "
Brother Ji, who was at the side, interrupted with a smile.
Old Madam Zhao looked at her daughter-in-law awkwardly. After a while, she insisted, "No! We definitely can't accept this money. Even if Si Wei is here, he won't allow us to accept it. If we accept this money, our family will never be able to raise our heads in Chang 'an City! Madam Li, you'd better not persuade her anymore. You and Lord Jue are both good people! Good people have good karma! I hope that the two of you can be rich for the rest of your lives! "
Han Yuxi was helpless and could only say, "Alright then, but thank you for your auspicious words, Madam Zhao!"
Since old Madam Zhao had said this, the other martyr's widows also declined, "Madam Jue, Madam Zhao is right. If we accept this money, we won't be able to raise our heads for the rest of our lives!"
"That's right. Lord Jue has done us a great favor. We were in the wrong in the first place today. No matter what, we can't ask for money anymore!"
"That's right, that's right! We can't accept this money! "
Seeing this, Han Yuxi could only say helplessly, "Since you're unwilling to accept it, then Yuxi won't force you. However, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, feel free to look for me. You can not accept the money, but it's still right for neighbors to help each other, right?"
When the group of women heard this, they hurriedly bowed and thanked her.
Han Yuxi smiled and looked at everyone. "Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, please disperse, sisters, neighbors, and all of you! Don't affect the other neighbors. "
"Okay, okay, okay! Disperse, disperse! Madam Jue is really gentle, kind, virtuous, and righteous! "
"That's right! That's right! County Li's man has married a good wife! "
"Haha! A talented man and a beautiful woman. This is a match made in heaven! "
"Yes, yes, yes!"
A "big show" came to a successful end. Han Yuxi's performance in it was really remarkable. These naturally fell into the eyes of those with ulterior motives. As the surrounding crowd dispersed, they praised Han Yuxi repeatedly.
On the steps in front of the mansion.
Han Yuxi looked at the miserable Jiang Cuihua below and turned to Brother Ji. "Pang Sige, I'll have to trouble you with her!"
Brother Ji cupped his hands obsequiously and said, "Hehe! Don't worry, Young Madam. I have familiar brothers in the Supreme Court. I guarantee that I'll make this shrew spit out the person behind the scenes! Um, also, Young Madam, you can call me Xiao Pang in the future! "
Han Yuxi: "…"
