Ning Shu had just asked this woman a few questions when she was greeted with a barrage of wails and complaints. It was so loud that her ears hurt. Ning Shu sighed and rubbed her tortured ears. Her eyes swept over the woman's rosy and plump face that had not shed a single tear after howling for a long time. She then glanced at the jade bracelet that was not hidden well under her sleeve. She really did not know how she could say that "my family is actually not rich. It's difficult for me to even support myself".
She smiled and quickly interrupted the woman before she could finish her tirade. She put her hands behind her back and praised her generously, "You're called Zhu Huiniang, right? You're really admirable. Your family is in such a difficult situation, yet you're willing to take in a lonely girl. This kind of kindness is hard to come by. We should report your family to the Jingji government and then report it to the imperial court. You'll definitely receive His Majesty's praise. Your family will be the role model of Mulan Lane so that the people of the western part of the city will be proud of your family! "
Zhu Huiniang's act was not over yet. She was praised so fiercely that she did not expect her acting skills to be so outstanding. She was stunned for a moment and said shyly, "Ah, you flatter me. This commoner is ashamed."
Beside her, the man called Liu Laosan, who had been kneeling with his head down, also grinned and pretended to be modest. He said, "Our ancestors have always taught us to be upright and benevolent. This kind of trivial matter is not worthy of the imperial court's attention. We only need the prefectural magistrate to write a letter to announce our deeds and allow our family to be enshrined in the ancestral hall so that future generations will know what we have done."
Ning Shu nodded. "That's simple. Our Shaoqing and prefectural magistrate Wei will stand in front of each other in the imperial court. It's just a matter of one sentence. Shaoqing, right? "
Tan Siwei smiled and nodded in agreement. "Of course. One sentence is not enough. Two or three sentences are not too much."
Ning Shu clapped her hands and praised, "That's great."
Zhu Huiniang's eyes brightened. She was about to grin when she saw Tan Siwei's expression suddenly change. His face turned cold and he said angrily, "How dare you, commoner, deceive an official of the imperial court. You're confusing right and wrong. How should you be punished? Keep your mouth shut. If you dare to make a scene or make a fuss when I'm interrogating you, you'll be served with a slap! "
Hui Mo immediately glared at her. He pressed his hand on the sword and stood beside her, ready to punish her at any time. Zhu Huiniang's pig-slaughtering howl that was about to leave her mouth was immediately blocked in her throat. Her man was so scared that his legs went soft.
Just then, they heard the smiling and extremely amiable official tear apart their faces one by one, "You said that your family is in trouble. Do you think this official is blind? Your family lives in a two-storey house. Although you can't be considered wealthy, you have nothing to do with the word 'poor'. Therefore, all your flattery is a lie! Also, you said that this girl was rescued by your husband when he went up the mountain to chop firewood. I've already sent people to investigate your family. You're a vegetable vendor in the city. Every day, you go to the outskirts of the city to transport vegetables to the city. Whichever family needs them, you'll deliver them to their door. Which mountain did he climb and which firewood did he chop? "
Zhu Huiniang and her husband's faces trembled. Their faces turned green as if they were slapped in the face. They began to panic. Zhu Huiniang was the first to cry out, "My lord, what kind of people are trying to frame my family? My family's house does look good. However, it's passed down from my ancestors. It's an empty shell. In fact, it's an embroidered pillow. It looks good on the outside but it's empty inside. However, those people who have no conscience don't know. They're blindly jealous and secretly hate. Therefore, they spread bad rumors about my family everywhere. "
