Chapter 150

Prefectural Magistrate Hu was a seasoned official. While the others were still in a daze, he had already made up his mind.

His sister could no longer tolerate Shuiwu, but the Yang family was a large family in Jingzhou. If they really sold the family head's beloved concubine to a butcher, it would attract too much criticism. The Yang family's reputation was already very bad, so it was not appropriate to do so.

Moreover, even if they sold this lowly servant, as Yang Lin's flesh and blood, wouldn't her little child still have to stay in the residence? It was best to end all troubles once and for all.

Thinking of this, Prefectural Magistrate Hu took two steps forward and said in a loud voice, "Everyone, how can there be no disagreements between couples in this world? My sister and my brother-in-law do not get along, but these are trivial matters. Since my brother-in-law has passed away, my sister is the Yang family's first wife. Why would she make things difficult for a concubine? I didn't think that my brother-in-law would have such a deep misunderstanding of my sister.

However, a man's words are worth a thousand gold. Moreover, my brother-in-law is a husband and a father, so he has the right to make such arrangements. His will must be followed. In his letter, he said that in order to repay a debt of gratitude, he wants to betroth his daughter to Ye Xiaotian. Because his daughter is young, he wants her mother to accompany her. Therefore, I have decided that Yang Le Yao will be betrothed to Ye Xiaotian, and her mother, Xue Shuiwu, will accompany them to the capital! "

Prefectural Magistrate Hu said in a low voice, "Third Skinny, untie them."

Third Skinny Yang heard this and quickly untied Xue Shuiwu and Ye Xiaotian. Madam Yang frowned and couldn't help but step forward and say in a low voice, "Brother …"

Prefectural Magistrate Hu gave her a stern look. Although Madam Yang was dissatisfied with her brother's arrangement, she couldn't say anything in this situation and could only shut her mouth.

Prefectural Magistrate Hu turned his face and smiled at Ye Xiaotian, "Little Tian, this place is far from the capital, so it is difficult for the Yang family to take care of my brother-in-law. When my brother-in-law was in the capital, you took care of him. It is a great favor. But now that we are a family, I won't say thank you. "

Ye Xiaotian exercised his wrists and cupped his hands in greeting, "You're right, County Magistrate."

County Magistrate Hu chuckled and said, "You've traveled thousands of miles to come here, so I'm sure you're tired. Why don't you stay here for a few days? After you've rested for a few days, this official will send you on your way."

Ye Xiaotian's heart skipped a beat as soon as he heard the word 'on the road'. He wanted nothing more than to get out of this place, so how would he dare to stay here any longer? Who knew if the Yang family would have evil intentions again and really kill a foreigner like him and bury him in the wilderness?

Ye Xiaotian immediately said, "Thank you, Magistrate, for your kindness. But I still need to take care of my parents, so I am anxious to go home. I hope Magistrate will allow me to go home with … with my wife."

When he mentioned "wife", Ye Xiaotian glanced at the tearful child, then glanced at his beautiful mother-in-law. He felt very aggrieved.

Prefectural Magistrate Hu nodded, "That's good! But in this way, the dowry will be prepared in a hurry. "

Ye Xiaotian looked at Yang Kai's sneaky smile and felt his hair stand on end. He hurriedly said, "Since this little one is going to marry a noble lady, it is only right that I prepare a betrothal gift. Unfortunately, the road is too far and my family is poor. How can I be ashamed to accept a dowry? Let this dowry from the Yang Residence be my betrothal gift."

Prefectural Magistrate Hu looked at him deeply and felt that this kid was quite smart. He squinted his eyes and said, "In this case, Third Skinny, send the family of three away …"

…

After Ye Xiaotian and the other two left, Madame Yang found an excuse to invite her brother Prefectural Magistrate Hu to the small parlor. As soon as they entered the parlor, Madame Yang said anxiously, "Brother, how could you be so stupid? How could you let that little bitch go so easily?"

Hu Kuo's face darkened and he said unhappily, "Enough! Stop it! You're too much. Your husband, Yang Lin, has passed away. Why are you still being jealous? You're the wife of the family, so you should act like the mistress of the family. Will you only be satisfied when both sides suffer? "

As Prefectural Magistrate Hu said this, he took out the letter hidden in his sleeve and handed it to Madame Yang. He said calmly, "Look."

Madame Yang took the letter in surprise and read it carefully. Before she finished reading the letter, Madame Yang was so angry that she tore the letter into pieces. She said bitterly, "This old thing, even when he died, he didn't forget to make arrangements for his daughter. Hmm? But this letter doesn't match what that Ye guy said at all. "

Prefectural Magistrate Hu said, "This is where that brat is smart. I think he also saw that he couldn't get any benefits from the Yang family. Isn't this result good? Are we supposed to deny what he said and reveal the contents of the letter to the public? Only those who know how to share benefits can reap benefits. If this brat works in the bureaucracy, he will definitely make a name for himself. Haha. "

Madame Yang said anxiously, "How can we accept this? I sold that little bitch to Butcher Mu and controlled Le Yao. That was the perfect plan. Now that we've let this caged bird fly away, if anything happens … "

At this point, she suddenly realized that she had said something indiscreet and stopped talking. Her face turned red and white.

Prefectural Magistrate Hu frowned and looked at her warily. He said in a low voice, "What do you mean by a perfect plan? What do you mean by anything? Could it be that you're hiding something from me? "

Madame Yang hesitated for a while and didn't know what to say. Prefectural Magistrate Hu was furious and shouted, "What is it that you want to hide it from your own brother?"

Madame Yang lowered her head and said slowly, "Younger Sister … Younger Sister actually has a secret that is related to that little bitch Shuiwu. At first, I didn't deliberately hide it from Elder Brother. I just felt that it wasn't good to announce it. At that time, I didn't think that something would happen to the Xiang Association, let alone the situation today …"

Prefectural Magistrate Hu slapped the table and said, "That's enough. Tell me, what is it?"

Madame Yang had no choice but to quietly tell him the big secret that she had hidden in her heart for four years. After Prefectural Magistrate Hu heard her, he was stunned and didn't say anything.

Madame Yang gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, "Younger Sister originally sold her to Butcher Mu because if she died in the fu, it would be too eye-catching and cause people to suspect me. After all, I have always been unkind to her. This matter is known to everyone.

Younger Sister originally wanted to sell her to Butcher Mu and keep an eye on her. After a year and a half, she would send someone to quietly kill her. At that time, no one would know and no one would suspect me. Who knew … "

Prefectural Magistrate Hu's face was cloudy and clear. After a while, he slowly said, "If this matter is a secret, then in the future, there won't be any news, right?"

Madame Yang embarrassedly said, "Younger Sister is a woman. How could she do such a thing alone? There are many people who know the truth. Who knows which of them will be greedy and tell her the truth in the future. Only by finishing her off can we avoid future troubles. "

Prefectural Magistrate Hu's eyelids slowly drooped, covering his deep eyes. After a while, he slowly raised his eyes and said viciously, "For now, the only thing we can do is to find someone to kill them! Fortunately, when they left the Yang fu, there were many people who saw them. Even if they killed him, they can't blame it on us. Moreover, Lu Yi's corpse has an unknown identity. Who can investigate it? Hehe! "

…

The main door of the Yang fu opened, then closed again, then closed again.

Ye Xiaotian stood still and looked at the beautiful woman who only carried a small bag with a few clothes inside. She had practically left the fu with nothing. Then he looked at the little girl beside her who was holding her little finger and looking at him adorably. His nose suddenly became sour.

Ye Xiaotian never thought of himself as a bad person, but he was not a good person without principles. He was just an ordinary person who had selfish and distracting thoughts, but would not harm the innocent for his own benefit.

The five hundred taels of silver was what he deserved, but he did not get it. Moreover, his life was almost in danger. In this kind of situation, it was not too much to change it for a beauty who looked delicious and ate delicious.

Who knew that the beauty who looked delicious and ate delicious would suddenly become a mother-in-law who could only be looked at but not eaten. A little girl who was so bitter that he could not eat jumped out of nowhere. In the future, he would have to work hard to earn money to support them. What a big loss!

That beauty who looked delicious but absolutely could not be eaten was looking at him pitifully. She lightly bit her lower lip and an embarrassed blush appeared on her face, "Gu … son-in-law, your name is Ye Xiaotian?"

The corner of Ye Xiaotian's mouth suddenly twitched. With a deep male voice, he said, "En!"

The beauty said again, "Judging from your accent, son-in-law is from the capital?"

"En!"

The beauty looked down at the little one beside her. The little one, who was trying hard to bite his little finger, quickly withdrew his finger and flashed behind her. He even quickly wiped his little finger on his clothes.

The beauty sighed softly. Even the sound of her sigh was so pleasant to hear. Hearing it, Ye Xiaotian wanted to cry even more, "son-in-law, I am a weak woman and my daughter is young. The capital is so far away. How are we going to get there?"

When he heard that sigh, Ye Xiaotian suddenly felt a kind of protective feeling for the fairer sex, but he immediately reminded himself, "I cannot be soft-hearted! You only have a few dozen copper coins in your pocket. You don't even know how to get back to the capital. How can you bring two freeloaders back! Husband and wife are birds in the same forest. When disaster strikes, they fly separately, not to mention mother-in-law. Once we are out of the city, we will ditch them and run for our lives. "

Ye Xiaotian's mind turned, but he said, "About this, to be honest, I only have a few dozen copper coins left in my pocket. I can't afford a carriage. Let's leave this troublesome place first. Other things can be discussed when we are in a safe place. "

The beauty gently said, "I will listen to the son-in-law's decision."

"Cough!"

Ye Xiaotian almost choked to death on his own saliva. He coughed twice and forced out a sentence, "Mother-in-law … how old is she?"

The beauty's face became even more bashful. She lowered her head and said, "In two months, I will be eighteen."

Ye Xiaotian, "…"

The beauty quickly glanced at him and quietly asked, "Son-in-law, how old are you?"

Ye Xiaotian's answer was very enchanting, "Son-in-law is nineteen."
