Lian Yi slowly walked down the stairs and extended her hand out to support Bi Zhenye. Bi Zhenye shook his head.

”Big brother, I will not forgive your mother, but I accept your apology.” said. ”Even though Ershan chose not to pursue the issue earlier, in your and his heart, the grudge from the past is still a knot. From today onwards, whether you are brothers or enemies, there is no need to hesitate anymore. The so-called mutual reliance of fortune and misfortune may also be a good thing. ”

Ershan walked forward as he reached out to support his brother and said to Bi Zhenye, ”I had thought of taking back everything that should belong to me after returning home, but I met you, Hanxi, and Grandma. Even though there was still hatred in my heart, I decided to give up on revenge on the day of the Hall Competition. ”I never thought that it would bring disaster to my child. Big brother, this time, I won't be able to do it. Don't blame me.”

Bi Zhenye stood up, looked at Lian Yi, and asked: ”Sister-in-law, are you better now?”

Lian Yi nodded her head: ”Thank you for your concern, if you have anything to say, you can talk to Ershan, I will go back and rest first.”

She bowed and said her goodbyes, then returned home with Aunt Zhang. Aunt Zhang said in a soft voice: ”I had thought that he would come to plead on behalf of his mother.”

Lian Yi said: ”I heard from Ershan that it was him who took the initiative to cooperate with the Ministry Of Justice to capture his mother's former subordinates. Aunt, Ershan has two good older brothers.”

The Aunt Zhang laughed: ”Now that you have a good sister-in-law, I hope that you and Xiaowan will be able to meet up with the higher ups soon. Xiaowan is really beautiful, the shopkeeper and Ershan are really blessed to be able to get married to you two.”

Lian Yi blushed and laughed: ”I can't be considered handsome, but I really want to meet this sister-in-law.”

At the moment, the sky was already bright, and on the road to the Baisha River Pier, there were more and more people. Da Qing had long sent his wife and children to the inn, then went back to work at the pier.

When Susu came to see the Xiaowan, she had already woken up and was combing Little Pei's hair and clothes.

Little Pei was drowsy as he laid limply on Xiaowan's shoulder. Susu laughed: ”You're still not awake, I won't be able to memorize it later, it's going to be miserable. Before the shopkeeper left, he instructed you to recite ten poems. Have you recited them yet? ”

Little Pei was startled, and immediately regained his senses. With his mana, reciting 100 poems was not a problem, but he did not remember which poems his father asked him to memorize before he left.

”Aunt …” Little Pei hugged Xiaowan's neck, pursed her lips and acted like a spoiled child, making a whimpering sound, causing Xiaowan's heart to soften. She hugged Xiaowan and patted him lightly, ”Little Pei is not afraid, I have an aunt with me.”

Fortunately, Ling Chaofeng was not in the mood to care about his son's studies, and had not resolved the issue from yesterday. He could not let Xiaowan suffer, and not mess with the two wicked women, or else he would be deceived by the kindness of the Xiaowan, just like Lian Yi.

After breakfast, he brought Xiaowan out of the inn. Constable Li and a few other yamen runner s were already waiting at the entrance of the town.

Aunt Wang and Madam Xu had committed the crimes of repenting their marriage, marrying more than one woman, and fraudulently abducting and selling goods, and Madam Xu was in front of them. When Constable Li came here today, it was in accordance with the laws of Daqi, so they had to be locked up and interrogated.

Following that, they continued to beat the crap out of them. They went to jail with their sticks on the table and all sorts of punishments were waiting for them, scaring the two women to death in fear. They laid on the ground crying and begging Ling Chaofeng and the Xiaowan to give them a way out.

However, this time, Qingling Village's village chief was completely dragged into this mess by innocence. He did not know that the county magistrate had come forward to plead for mercy, and that there was such a despicable transaction. After finding out the truth, he went mad with rage. His innocence was about to be destroyed by these two wicked women.

He brought someone with him to stop Constable Li. He said that he would execute the village rules and expel Madam Xu and the Wang family from the Qingling Village. After they had done so, he would ask Constable Li to take the people away.

When they first came to the Prefect Liang, Prefect Liang warned Constable Li that they could not go to the countryside. There were rules in the village, and those that could be accommodated were accommodated as much as possible.

Constable Li originally thought that it would be difficult, but after hearing that it was to punish these two wicked women, he naturally spread his hands out.

The village chief then asked the Xiaowan, ”Child, the Madam Xu once abused you, and everyone in the village knows about it. Today, I will listen to your orders, how are you going to punish her?”

”Xiaowan, it's too late … You saved my mother, I let you down, Xiaowan … ” Madam Xu cried loudly.

Her body had not fully recovered, and she could not bear the torment. If she were to strip her naked and lie on the ground in the sun, she would have no more life to live. But when she thought about going to the prison and getting bitten by bugs and mice every day in the smelly prison, she could not live any longer. The Xiaowan was her last hope.

”Xiaowan, aunt is wrong. Aunt wants to save your uncle and mother, ah, Xiaowan …”

The two women kowtowed to the Xiaowan and begged him to save them. When the others saw this, they could not help but interrupt and encourage the Xiaowan to be merciful.

Ling Chaofeng protected her with one hand, and said softly: ”Don't be afraid, just tell me what you want to do.”

Xiaowan nodded and bravely said to the village head: ”I will only beg for their forgiveness. I hope that the village head will agree to me.”

The village chief immediately agreed, ”Go ahead.”

Xiaowan continued: ”No matter how you punish them, I beg that the village chief not take off their clothes. Don't say anything about being surrounded by so many children in order to preserve their dignity. You shouldn't show them such unbearable scenes. As for the rest, I don't care about anything else.

The Village Chief frowned and asked, ”Is that all?”
