The pretty widow is addicted to money, and the little wolfdog asks for a hug

Gu Qinghuai bowed again and said gratefully: "I will always remember the great kindness of Madam Xiao and Nanny Dong. Nanny Dong, I did encounter great resistance in Feitian Village. However, this difficulty of mine is nothing. What I am most worried about is the reputation of County Magistrate Lu."

"The reputation of County Magistrate Lu? This... what's going on?" Nanny Dong asked knowingly, suddenly raising her voice and looking a little more serious.

Gu Qinghuai raised his hand and pointed at You Yuerou: "This woman claims to be the cousin of the county magistrate's favorite concubine. She said before that County Magistrate Lu listens to his favorite concubine in everything, so County Magistrate Lu has to do whatever the concubine wants him to do. Moreover, this woman also said that she can let County Magistrate Lu put us all in jail.

I am puzzled. How dare a mistress who has an affair with a man dare to order the county magistrate to do something? Magistrate Lu is an official appointed by the imperial court!"

"Bitch! You're talking nonsense! I didn't say that! Don't slander me!" You Yuerou's eyes were filled with fear and she screamed in a trembling voice.

Gu Qinghuai sneered: "I'm talking nonsense? I'm slandering you? When you said those words before, many people present heard it!

Madam Dong, what I said is absolutely true. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Magistrate Lu to come and investigate in person.

"Wouldn't it be bad for Magistrate Lu's reputation if they were so arrogant? If Magistrate Lu's political enemies knew about this, would they use it as a handle to attack Magistrate Lu?"

You Yuerou was so frightened that her whole body went limp and she almost collapsed to the ground.

It turned out that this big-bellied bitch was waiting for her here. No wonder she had repeatedly confirmed those words before.

I don’t know if my cousin will be implicated this time.

However, my cousin gave birth to three sons and one daughter for County Magistrate Lu, while that yellow-faced woman only gave birth to a son, who was a sickly boy. Even if the County Magistrate was angry, he would not do anything to my cousin.

Song Wenjie's family, Song Lizheng, and Song clan leader all looked dazed and began to break out in cold sweats.

The villagers put down their weapons one after another, and those who had previously clamored to beat Gu Qinghuai and his companions into a pulp shrank into the crowd, trying to slip away quietly.

Nanny Dong's face was as dark as ink. She looked at You Yuerou coldly and shouted, "Shameless bitch! How dare you and that concubine use the name of the county magistrate to do evil things outside and ruin the reputation of the county magistrate! This time, I will go back and report to the county magistrate!

In addition, the Song family has a bad family tradition and corrupt morals. Song Wentao is not worthy of taking the imperial examination. I will report this to the county magistrate and disqualify him from taking the imperial examination!"

Song Jiao and Song Wenjie collapsed to the ground, shivering all over.

"No, it's not like that, Madam Dong. My Wentao is a scholar and will be a high-ranking official in the imperial capital in the future! The county magistrate wants him to be his son-in-law, and our Song family and the county magistrate's wife will be in-laws in the future. I beg Madam Dong and the county magistrate's wife to say a few good words for him and don't disqualify him from taking the imperial examination!" Song Jiao crawled in front of Madam Dong, hugged her legs and cried bitterly.

Nanny Dong kicked her away and sneered, "My wife doesn't have a daughter, so what kind of son-in-law is your son? Stop making trouble, or your whole family will go to jail!"

Song Jiao was so frightened that she dared not speak any more.

Nanny Dong looked around at everyone and asked sternly, "Who is the head of the village and the clan leader?"

"I...we," Song Lizheng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and raised his hand.

Patriarch Song shrank his neck and raised his hand tremblingly.

Nanny Dong ordered, "The Song family has a corrupt family tradition. Song Wenjie has no morals and has promiscuous relationships with both men and women. He is unworthy of being a husband and a father. His three young daughters will live with Madam Gu from now on. The household registration of the four of them will all be transferred out of Feitian Village. You must sign and stamp your fingerprints immediately! My wife will report this matter to the county magistrate."

"Yes Yes!"

"Oh, okay."

Song Lizheng and Song clan leader bowed and nodded, showing utmost respect.

The two of them quickly signed the documents for transferring their household registration without wasting a moment.

Song Shuyin was shaking with excitement. She hugged Gu Qingtao tightly and cried with a pursed mouth, "Mother Tao, we have finally gotten rid of this family of bad guys!"

"Yes, good boy, we will be able to go back to grandma's house soon, and we will all live a good life in the future, and will never be tortured by them again," Gu Qingtao also burst into tears.

Gu Qinghuai pointed at the six people on the ground and said, "Madame Dong, these six people are all beggars who trafficked women and children. It was the 'county magistrate's wife' who sent people to arrest them and bring them to justice, saving my sister and three nieces. Madame Dong and the yamen runners, please send these six people to the yamen for a thorough interrogation."

Nanny Dong smiled and nodded, and she admired this insightful Miss Gu even more.

The letter written by Miss Gu to the lady made the lady not have to focus all her attention on the narrow inner courtyard of the backyard, and not have to pin all her hopes of happiness on men. Women can be self-satisfied, happy and have a broader life.

He also said that the lady could use the status of the county magistrate's wife to build her own power, create her own reputation, and pursue her own hobbies and career.

When one day the lady herself becomes outstanding and powerful, the so-called men and concubines will be nothing but insignificant things.

These words touched the lady deeply. No one had ever said these words to her in her 32 years of life.

Everyone asked her to follow the three obediences and four virtues, observe the rules for women, regard her husband as her heaven, be filial to her parents-in-law, and be loyal and generous.

She did as she was told, but she was unhappy. She felt suffocated every day and was almost crazy.

The lady stayed up all night, reading the letter from the strange woman over and over again.

The four yamen runners were also very excited. What Miss Gu meant was that they had captured these human traffickers with their own hands and they could report the achievement to the county magistrate when they returned.

After dealing with the matter of Feitian Village, Gu Qinghuai didn't want to waste Nanny Dong's time, so he thanked her sincerely and asked Qi Yuanshuo to escort Nanny Dong back to the county government office.

Qi Yuanshuo had to make this trip because he had to stamp the divorce letter with an official seal and go through the household registration transfer procedures.

Gu Qinghuai gave Nanny Dong a lipstick and a bottle of perfume, and gave her a red envelope of ten taels of silver. The four yamen runners and the little maid each received two taels of silver.

The county magistrate's wife was not bad and was worthy of leaving a good impression. Gu Qinghuai did not care about this petty profit.

Last night, she gave the county magistrate's wife two sets of glass tea sets and two mirrors with gilded patterns and inscriptions. The county magistrate's wife kept one set for her own use, and the other set could be given as a precious gift to the wife of County Magistrate Lu's superior.

Glass tea sets only cost a few dozen yuan a set in modern times, but they are definitely rare treasures in the Great Xia Kingdom, because the top-grade glass cups in the Great Xia Kingdom are priceless, and the so-called top-grade ones are far less transparent and clear than glass cups.

The glass tea set was elegant and exquisite in shape, and would be very presentable even if it was sent to the imperial palace.

The same is true for the two mirrors.

In addition to sending expensive gifts, Gu Qinghuai also wrote several petitions about how the county magistrate's concubine and her cousin, together with Song Wenjie and Song Wentao, used the name of the county magistrate to conspire to force out the good wife, sell the daughter for fame, and act tyrannically in the village. The evidence is everything that happened in Feitian Village today, with both human and material evidence.

Even Nanny Dong, four yamen runners, and a little maid were witnesses.

Gu Qinghuai could give these petitions to County Magistrate Lu’s superior or to his archenemy.

In fact, it was not a real handover, but a false move to make Magistrate Lu panic, and then create an opportunity for the magistrate's wife to suppress the favorite concubine.

In this way, with multiple approaches, Gu Qinghuai believed that the county magistrate's wife was willing to cover for her.

As she expected, the county magistrate's wife accepted her advice and request for help and gave her the greatest help.
