BXBX NOVEL Chapter 548 - 548: Troubles
Xiao Baoxin nodded, and Madam Cai heaved a sigh of relief.”There’s no hurry.
The lady’s body was heavy, so she didn’t want to tire herself out.
These words were more polite than pity for her heavy body.
Not now, but the sooner the better, right?
“Every day, I walk in the courtyard for an hour, but this is nothing. Second Shen is still in confinement, please relax and take good care of her.”
After saying that, he bid farewell and left.
Twelfth Madam Wang hurriedly sent him out and whispered to him outside the courtyard,'”‘Thankyou, sister-in-law, for worrying about such a troublesome matter.’1
■We’re family.” Xiao Baoxin smiled.” It’s a great blessing for you to have such a mother-in-law who will help you out.”
Wang Shier Niang nodded, her tears almost falling again.
“Ever since the Wang family fell, I have tasted the coldness and warmth of human feelings.J’m the only one who’s still fine. The other families aren’t as lenient as our Xie family elders, and many of them suffer. Not only my mother-in-law, great-madam, aunty, aunty, even sister-in-law and the other aunts have never belittled me.”
“So, even if Jiu Lang brought her into the residence, I wouldn’t have any
complaints.”
“But mother-in-law is so considerate of me. I really… He couldn’t describe the feeling in his heart, but his biological mother was just like this.”
Xiao Baoxin sighed. Xie Jiulang was out of tune, and the one suffering was Wang Shierniang.
They had only stayed at home for two months after getting married. When they were at home, they often went out. It would be strange if the husband and wife had any feelings for each other.
Fortunately, Twelfth Aunt Wang was open-minded and Lady Cai had her back.
Otherwise, she would have had a hard time.
“Don’t worry. As long as you don’t want to, our family will naturally side with you.”Xiao Baoxin left after saying that and returned to Yi An Hall.
Madam Yuan and Madam Wang had already left, and Mother Xie was just about to take her afternoon break. Hearing Xiao Baoxin’s intention, Mother Xie couldn’t help but sigh.
“Madam Cai is a good mother-in-law.”
“Then let her be and send the child away. Don’t worry about this. I’ll ask Zhilan to make a trip later and let your third aunt stand up for her. You have a body
and are a junior.”
After a pause, Mother Xie said,
■■You’re also about to give birth, so you’re relieved. Don’t worry about anything, don’t think too much. Although it was said that giving birth to a woman was a narrow escape, this old woman saw that you were blessed. Your body is usually strong and you’re pregnant. Just your complexion alone makes you stronger than many good people. Don’t scare yourself…
“Don’t let Ah Lang scare you. He’s a man who hasn’t experienced it before. Of course, he also values you, but don’t be like him. You should not scare yourself into trouble.”
Xiao Baoxin was embarrassed. The bruises on his face couldn’t fool anyone. Mother Xie was a shrewd old woman. She could tell at a glance that she had been frightened by Cai Corporation’s labor yesterday, so she took the opportunity to comfort her when no one was around.
” Such a good child is scared to this extent. What a sin.’
– He looks like a calm person, but he’s scared out of his wits over such a small matter. Despise.
■Grandson…! can’t look down on you.
“But I really can’t tell that it’s a mouse’s guts…”
Xiao Baoxin almost burst out laughing when he heard Mother Xie’s criticism.
She immediately agreed and returned to Rong An Hall. Since Mother Xie had already said so, she did not need to get involved in the second household’s matters.
However, when Madam Wang followed Mother Xie’s instructions to bring the child away, Second Master Xie suddenly lost his temper and had a big fight with Madam Cai. After another round of chaos, Madam Wang finally took the child away.
###
The second branch of the Xie family was covered in chicken feathers, but Xie
Qing had successfully closed the case.
Cai Erlang said that it would be under the watchful eyes of the public, so it would be easy to find a witness. However, everyone knew that it was the three aristocratic families who were going up against them, so no one wanted to get involved.
It was inevitable for the people of the aristocratic families to choose sides. The commoners did not have to choose sides. They could not afford to offend anyone. Therefore, although the Jiankang order ordered the search for witnesses, they could not find a single one.
She finally managed to find a few shop owners nearby, but they all said that they didn’t see her and didn’t stand up for her.
The witnesses were all people close to these three.
As for the Xie Clan, Cai Clan, and Xi Clan, they didn’t even step forward and just let these three juniors suffer.
Yan Dong was helpless. However, someone had died after all. Regardless of whether it was a concubine or something else, human life was more important than the sky. Cai Erlang would definitely take full responsibility for this matter. At least the dog was not tied up, or else he would not have rampaged around.
There was no objection to this.
The one who argued was Xi Twelfth’s wife, Cai, who had a miscarriage. The Cai and Xi families said that Xie Qing’s servant boy came forward to tear her apart and shocked Lady Cai, causing Cai to have a miscarriage. Xie Qing was certain that the Cai family saw that he had injured the dog, and that Cai Erlang wanted to fight. The servant boy beside him was eager to protect his master and stood in front of him. There must have been a fight, but the responsibility was not on him.
No matter how Yan Dong heard it, he felt that Lady Cai’s miscarriage was a little unjust, to have such a worrisome brother and husband.
She was already pregnant, yet she still followed him out, leading the dog and causing trouble.
Yes, the Jiankang order felt that it was purely a matter of causing trouble. Without that dog, no accidents would have happened.
He had been busy with this matter for two days. Although none of the three aristocratic families had stepped forward, they had also sent many messages to the yamen behind their backs. Even Xie Pushe had his personal attendants follow behind him. Yan Dong had a headache.
If this matter wasn’t handled well, he would offend the three aristocratic families.
He was a commoner, he really couldn’t take it.
She gritted her teeth and closed the case. At least, she was certain that the dog owner was fully responsible.
Cai Erlang compensated Xie Qing with five hundred taels of silver. After all, her concubine had died.
As for the Cai family who had lost their property, Cai Erlang had to pay 500 taels of silver, and Xie Qing had to pay 300 taels of silver.
Cai Erlang exploded on the spot. He did not lack money. What he cared about was not money, but face! Would he still have the face to live if he gave the money?
He wouldn’t feel bad even if he had to pay 5,000 taels, let alone 500 taels. But what did he mean by paying five hundred taels and Xie Qing three hundred taels?
He had a lot of responsibility, but Xie Qing had a lot of responsibility, right? Originally, Yan Dong did not try the case in court because of his friendship with the court. He only treated it as a private mediation in the warm pavilion. Who knew that Cai Erlang would be so reckless? It was obvious that he did not give Yan Dong any face.
He even shouted ’officials protect each other.’
Do you have a brain?
Xie Xian is an official, but your father and brother aren’t? Was Tingwei Xie not an official?
Yan Dong was a smart and capable person. Firstly, he had been promoted and recommended by Xie Xian. Secondly, he had a clear conscience in this case. He was not afraid of the Emperor. It was the second son of the Cai family who had caused three waves without any wind. He did not have any official position, but he was still shouting in the government office, making it difficult for him to step down.
It was obvious that he did not take the Jiankang Order, who came from a poor family, seriously.
Yan Dong’s face was gloomy as he ordered the bailiffs to drag Cai Erlang away and beat him ten times..
