I traveled through time and space as a little girl, and the emperor appointed me as the great master

Xu Da quickly found a carriage and took the three aunts from the kitchen to the hall. Then he drove the carriage to the dungeon to meet Xu Jingqing.

Here, Xu Jingqing led his men to the dungeon entrance and asked the soldiers to guard outside while he went in first to let the people inside prepare.

He also had selfish motives. He didn't want the officers and soldiers to see Yao'er's appearance.

As soon as Xu Jingqing entered the dungeon, the brave woman with scars brightened her eyes and said, "Sir, you are finally back."

"Everyone, the soldiers have wiped out all the bandits. You are safe now and can go out." Xu Jingqing said.

"Oh, really?"

Seeing Xu Jingqing nodded.

"Wow~" Many women cried for joy, and some even cried and sobbed.

These women were originally eager to go out, but when the day finally came, they hesitated.

Where is their future path?

Do their relatives still recognize them?

Whether they themselves can accept the rumors for the rest of their lives.

Xu Jingqing noticed something was wrong and after asking, he learned about their difficulties.

Just because he can accept what happened to Yaoer doesn’t mean other families can accept it.

After thinking for a while, he said, "How about this, I will ask the officers and soldiers to give each of you 20 taels of silver later. Those who are willing to go back can go back and take a look."

"If your family members don't recognize you anymore, take 20 taels of silver and find a place to start a new life. I will ask someone to re-register you."

"If you don't want to go back, you can follow the Lizhou soldiers back to Lizhou City first, and they will arrange a place for you there."

"If you don't want to stay in this sad place of Lizhou, you can take my letter to Huzhou to find the prefect of Huzhou. After he sees the letter, he will make arrangements for you."

These are the three options he can think of now.

There were more than 30 women in the dungeon.

Twenty women believed that their lives were more important than anything else, and what if they could get out alive? Therefore, they pretended to give themselves to men from the beginning and have been dragging it on until now, with only some minor injuries on their bodies.

There were three married women who were loyal to their husbands and unwilling to commit themselves to others, so they were beaten badly and their injuries were so severe that they needed to see a doctor first.

The remaining six, excluding Yang Yao, are women who have gone crazy because they could not accept being defiled and need to be arranged separately.

After the final discussion, only 6 people chose to go home, 5 and 6 crazy women chose to stay in Lizhou City, and the majority chose to go to Huzhou.

Xu Jingqing also promptly informed the officers and soldiers outside the door about the resettlement issue.

The mentally normal women all helped to carry the crazy and seriously injured woman out.

The officers and soldiers took them to the hall first, and distributed the silver they found to each of the women, 20 taels, and gave 30 taels each to the three aunts as a reward.

Later, a team of people was arranged to escort the women and three aunts back to Lizhou City for temporary settlement.

Xu Jingqing was the only one left in the dungeon. He carefully covered Yang Yao with clothes and held her in his arms.

When Xu Da saw the young master coming out with someone in his arms, he already knew who it was.

Without saying much, he quickly decorated the carriage very softly.

After Xu Jingqing carried Yang Yao onto the carriage, he was reluctant to put her down.

He gently wiped the dirt off Yaoer's face and carefully fixed her hair. At this moment, his heart and eyes were full of her.

This time he held her tightly, afraid of losing her again.

Xu Jingqing carried Yao'er in silence all the way to Lizhou City. In order to facilitate the treatment of Yang Yao, he asked Xu Da to rent an elegant courtyard.

After Xu Jingqing put Yao'er on the bed and washed and changed her clothes, Xu Da finally came back with the doctor.

"Doctor, please take a good look at my wife." Xu Da said to the doctor.

The doctor nodded, walked to the bedside and took the patient's pulse.

After a moment, the doctor retracted his finger and looked at Xu Jingqing, who was in a bad mood. A trace of pity flashed in his eyes. Then he shook his head at Xu Da, sighed, and said:

"Sir, the baby in Madam's belly has become a dead fetus. Madam's body can't bear the abortion now. The most urgent thing is that I can only treat her for two days and see the effect."

Xu Jingqing was so shocked by the word "still fetus" that he staggered.

Yaoer's belly was so big, but the fetus was dead.

Although he was not a doctor, he knew the consequences of a fetus dying in the womb.

He also knows the consequences of abortion now.

I can only say: "Doctor, please help me."

The doctor immediately prescribed some nourishing medicine. After Xu Da sent him away, the doctor hurried out to get the medicine.

Xu Jingqing sat beside Yang Yao, staring at her blankly, and murmured, "Yao'er, you must hold on. Our life has just begun, you must cheer up."

Five days later.

Both the Yang and Xu families in Huzhou received the news.

Pan Yang rushed straight to Lizhou City in a hurry.

The Xu family stayed behind temporarily to deal with the people who were found out, Di Tongzhi (fifth rank).

Di Tongzhi was a fifth-rank Tongzhi, and his official position was higher than Yang Tongpan, so there was no reason to target him.

As a result, Xu Zhifu's investigation found that Di Tongzhi was resentful of Xu Zhifu's frequent disapproval of his work and for making him lose face in front of everyone, and he had been holding a grudge in his heart.

The man with the surname Di originally wanted to frame Xu Jingqing as a cheater when he took the provincial examination so that something bad would happen to the Xu family to relieve his hatred.

Unexpectedly, Xu Jingqing was very prudent and careful before the exam, leaving the man surnamed Di no chance to attack.

In the end, Mr. Di could only set his target on the daughter of Pan Yang.

After all, the two families are going to be relatives, and in the eyes of Mr. Di, they are one family.

Besides, since she is just a girl in the boudoir, his room for maneuver is much larger and easier.

So on the Lantern Festival last year, when Miss Yang went out with her maid and guards, the man surnamed Di found an opportunity to take action.

They first used a little trick to lure the guards away, and then the remaining people kidnapped the person directly and sent her to the bandits' lair in Lizhou.

Di Tongzhi used to be a county magistrate in Lizhou. He had long been in collusion with bandits, but no one knew about it.

Therefore, Yang Yao was sent to the bandit's lair.

The Xu family never expected such a ridiculous reason.

After seeing the conclusive evidence, Prefect Xu was furious. He ordered that Di Tongzhi be thrown into prison immediately. He also used every torture instrument on Di, making him experience a situation worse than death. Finally, he sentenced him to death when he was dying.

He was originally an official of the imperial court, so he broke the law knowingly, which was an even more serious crime.

Damn it, he actually colluded with bandits.

His family was also implicated and sentenced to exile three thousand miles away to a bitter and cold land to fend for themselves.

Prefect Xu believes that he is not a cruel person, but Co-Prefect Di is really hateful. What's wrong with him abusing his power for personal gain this time?

After dealing with Di Tongzhi, Xu Zhifu and his family also went to Lizhou.

Three days later, Yang Tongpan arrived in Lizhou and saw his long-cherished daughter.

Seeing his daughter's appearance, Yang Tongpan felt both distressed and guilty. He felt sorry for his daughter suffering from such an unexpected disaster, but also blamed himself for not protecting his daughter.

He was so sad that he fell ill.

Fortunately, Magistrate Xu and his family arrived in Lizhou the next day.

Only then did Xu Da breathe a sigh of relief.

His young master hasn't had a rest for several days. He is really worried about his health and no amount of persuasion can stop him. Now that the master and the mistress are here, they may be able to forgive the young master.

When Mrs. Xu and her husband arrived, they saw Yang Yao's appearance. Mrs. Xu couldn't hold back her tears. She held her son's hand and cried, "Son, you have to take care of yourself, otherwise what will happen to Yao'er? You don't want her to wake up and you collapse, do you?"

After Mrs. Xu's consolation for half a day, Xu Jingqing finally smiled.

My mother was right. As long as I am still alive, that’s enough.

Only if he cheers up can he have the energy to take care of Yaoer.

Then the family sat together to think of a solution.

He also told his parents and Yang Tongpan about Master Kong's situation.

"Really? There are such amazing people in the world?" Prefect Xu was shocked after learning about the rescue process.

Madam Xu's thoughts became clearer, and she clapped her hands, "Jing'er, why don't we go to Ping'an Town in Qingyang County again? Maybe the master can save Yao'er?"

Xu Jingqing was stunned. Why didn’t he think of this?

So the two families quickly made a decision and went to find Master Kong.

After staying in Lizhou for another three days, Yang Tongpan's illness was finally cured, and Yang Yao's health was also well enough to temporarily travel long distances.

The two families then got up and set off.

Xu Jingqing guarded Yang Yao all the way. It had been several days since Yang Tongpan saw his daughter's appearance, and he had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

His daughter has become like this, and he doesn't want to ruin Xu Jingqing's future.

He wants to cancel the engagement.

During a break

Pan Yang went to the carriage of Prefect Xu and his wife.

After Prefect Xu helped his wife get out of the car, he saw that Yang was hesitant to speak and asked, "Brother Yang, do you have anything to say?"

"Yes, there is nothing that cannot be discussed between our two families," Mrs. Xu also said.

Yang Tongpan glanced at the carriage where Xu Jingqing was, then looked at Prefect Xu, with a worried look on his face: "Brother Xu, sister-in-law, I think we should call off the marriage between our two families."

When Prefect Xu heard this, he immediately became furious and pointed at Yang Tongpan: "You, you want to piss me off to death?" He was stunned again: "Is it because of Yao'er's current situation?"

Prefect Xu then shook his sleeves heavily, glared at Yang Tongpan and said, "In this life, my family only recognizes Yao'er as our daughter-in-law. If you want to cancel the engagement, forget it." After saying that, he took his wife aside and ignored Yang Tongpan.
