Chapter 68: Meeting Again, It Seems Like a Lifetime Ago

The county magistrate put on a righteous look and said, "You are a bunch of unruly people. You bullied the women and children of the Wen family, provoked trouble, and attempted to blackmail them. If you don't punish them severely, where is justice!"

"Sir, spare us, sir."

Everyone in the Wang family knelt down and begged for mercy. The man in fancy clothes glanced at them coldly, put his hands behind his back, and said to the county magistrate: "Sir, please handle this impartially."

"Don't worry, Lord Marquis."

The county magistrate glanced at the Wang family and fixed his eyes on Boss Wang. "Wang Renfu, you instigated your family to cause trouble and framed them. You are the main culprit! Now, for multiple crimes, this county sentences you to 20 strokes of the cane and one year in prison."

After sentencing Wang Lao Da, the court turned to Wang Lao San and Wang Lao Tai Po. Wang Lao San was sentenced to 20 strokes of the cane, to be executed immediately. Considering Wang Lao Tai Po's age, she was only given 10 strokes of the cane.

When Mrs. Wang heard this, it was like a bolt from the blue. Her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

The relatives of the Wang family who were attending the trial outside the yamen were extremely anxious. Old Master Wang and Old Master Wang III had fainted. They were panicked and tried to pinch and slap them, but finally managed to save them.

The county magistrate didn't care about that and ordered twenty strokes of the cane immediately. For a while, there were constant wailing in the hall...

By the time the twenty strokes of the cane were over, the three of them were already lying there.

"Someone, come and take Wang Renfu away." The county magistrate waved his hand, and two yamen runners immediately stepped forward and carried away Boss Wang.

"Sir, don't lock up my son, lock me up and I'll go to jail." Old Lady Wang struggled to crawl over and kowtowed to the county magistrate. She was getting scared and regretting why she had to make such a fuss.

"My son, my son." No matter how much he cried, he could not cry back. He turned around and kowtowed to the county magistrate, shouting that he was wronged. The county magistrate angrily ordered people to take Old Lady Wang and Old Third Wang away.

After saying goodbye to Master Zuo on the first day of the new year, he rushed to the gate of the county government office in a panic. The people watching outside the gate had gradually dispersed. His cousin Wen Zhuo, the Ruan family, and Li Hongxiu climbed over the iron fence and ran to see Wen Qingcheng.

Chu Yi saw Wen Qingcheng lying on the ground in the lobby, being held by a man in fancy clothes. His heart was filled with excitement. She used to be so proud, but now she was in such a miserable state, with a pale face and scars all over her back. He couldn't suppress his anger.

"My wife!" Chuyi rushed in, pushed away the man in fancy clothes, and hugged Wen Qingcheng with heartache. He felt her body trembling slightly with pain, and the anger in his eyes seemed to burn the entire county government to ashes.

Chuyi looked at the county magistrate and was determined to seek justice for Wen Qingcheng. Those who hurt her would have to pay the price.

Wen Qingcheng leaned on him tightly, and unexpectedly felt an unprecedented sense of security. Chuyi hugged Wen Qingcheng, and he swore that he would never let her get hurt again.

At this time, Wen Zhuo recognized that the man in fancy clothes who was pushed away by Chu Yi looked very much like Wen Liang. He tentatively called out, "Second Brother."

Ruan Sanlang, Li Hongxiu and others had all seen Wen Liang before, and were watching his reaction. No one associated the nobleman in front of them with the poor scholar with patched clothes.

"Brother, it's me. Let's go back and talk about it."

As soon as these words were spoken, a huge ripple appeared. Ye Xiuying, Wen Qingcheng, Chuyi, Wen Zhuo and others all widened their eyes instantly.

In their eyes, Wen Liang was a dead person, and it was really unbelievable that he now appeared in front of them in such a bright and handsome manner.

Ye Xiuying's eyes were already filled with tears. Time seemed to freeze at this moment. Her gaze was fixed on him. Countless days and nights of longing, countless questions and grievances turned into tears.

The county magistrate also guessed at this time that Wu'an Hou and the Wen family did know each other, and he was glad that he did not sentence Wen Qingcheng, otherwise he would be in trouble.

"My lord, I have prepared a simple banquet. Please come to your house for a simple meal." The county magistrate bowed with a flattering look on his face.

"No need." Wen Liang said coldly.

The county magistrate knew that he could not keep Wu'an Hou, and he was a little panicked. Who knew why he came? If he was sent by the court to inspect, why didn't he receive any gossip? Now that he refused to enter the mansion, he was even more worried.

Wen Liang ignored the county magistrate's overtures, softened his voice, and said to Ye Xiuying: "Xiuying, my car is outside, take Qingcheng home first."

Chuyi put his hand under Wen Qingcheng's knees and carried her out of the county government office. Ye Xiuying trotted after her, not caring about the man who looked like her husband. Wen Zhuo and others took Ruan Sanlang's boat back to Yueya Village.

A luxurious carriage was parked in the backyard of the county government office. The coachman and attendants stood solemnly by the side. Chuyi carried Wen Qingcheng into the carriage.

Ye Xiuying looked at the luxurious carriage and the many attendants with tearful eyes, feeling a little dazed. Wen Liang took Ye Xiuying's hand and got into the carriage. The county magistrate and the legal advisor were sweating profusely. Could it be that the Wen family was the Marquis's mistress? They served Wen Liang and the others diligently and got into the carriage. After they left, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly he remembered something important and asked the yamen runner beside him. "Where is Mr. Zuo? Who is with him now?"

"Sir, Master Zuo has already left." the bailiff replied.

"He left. Why did you let him go like this without inviting him to dinner?" The county magistrate was shocked. How could his good-for-nothing subordinates let the distinguished guest go like this? Who was Zuo Erye? Even in the capital, he was a well-connected person. How could he be treated so badly by his own subordinates?

"Master Zuo said he had something to do and left. We couldn't keep him even if we wanted to."

The county magistrate looked at the carriage of Marquis Wu'an going away and said to himself, "What day is today? Where does this Wen family come from?"

Wen Qingcheng was lying in the carriage. Although Chuyi was curious about why Wen Liang suddenly appeared, he was more concerned about Wen Qingcheng's injury.

Ye Xiuying's heart was pounding when she stepped into the spacious carriage and looked at the luxurious and comfortable interior. After sitting on the soft seat for a long time, her heart gradually calmed down.

The carriage was moving very fast, with two horses leading the way, and it drove into Crescent Moon Village. The originally quiet village became lively in an instant because of the arrival of this luxurious carriage, and even the dogs in each yard started barking one after another.

"Whose house is this carriage going to? I have never heard of anyone in the village having such a rich relative."

"Look, what a grand display."

The people in the village began to talk about it again.

When they reached a three-way intersection, the groom leaned over and asked, "My Lord, which way are you going?"

"On the right." Wen Liang said in the carriage.

Ye Xiuying quickly corrected him: "No, take the middle path."

Seeing Wen Liang's puzzled expression, Ye Xiuying told him that she had already separated from the old house.

Several women carrying baskets were curious about whose carriage it belonged, so they followed it all the way and finally stopped at the door of Wen Qingcheng's house. They looked like they had just eaten a shocking piece of news and stared at the people getting off the carriage with extreme excitement.

Ye Xiuying came out first, then Chuyi got out holding Wen Qingcheng, and finally a nobleman in gorgeous clothes came out. Just by looking at his narrow waist and tall figure, you could tell that he must be an extremely handsome man.

Several women looked at each other, wondering who that person was and how the Wen family had managed to get such a guest.

Wen Liang followed him into the house. Two followers stood solemnly outside the door. They were tall and majestic, like the bodyguards of the nobleman in gorgeous clothes.
