I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

His second aunt acted decisively and on the first night she came to Qingshan County, she tortured the servants into revealing all the evil things the woman had done. Of course, this also included the fact that the woman had instructed the servants to whisper in Peng Nian'an's ear that she was "the murderer who killed her mother."

Peng Xuan'an's second aunt was furious at the time. She was also a mother, and if someone treated her precious child whom she risked her life to give birth to like this, she would just stab that person with a knife.

She immediately told this matter to her second uncle Peng Xuan'an. His uncle was even angrier than her, but he did not rush to the farm to settle the score with the vicious woman. Instead, he called his nephew and niece over first and asked the nephew to tell his niece what their mother had told him before she died.

After Peng Xuan'an finished retelling his mother's last words, his second uncle stroked his niece's dry and frizzy hair and said to her in a gentle but unquestionable voice: "Good girl, you have been wronged in the past few years."

"Don't listen to that bastard's nonsense. Your mother doesn't need you to atone for your sins, and you don't have anything to atone for either."

"Your mother... risked her life to give birth to you, and even told your brother and all of us to protect you in the future. It's clear that she loves and likes you in her heart."

"She wants you to live and live a good life. If you really want to be filial to your mother, then you have to make her wish come true and let her see that you are well fed, well dressed and living a happy life every day."

With the help of Peng Xuan'an and Zhao Duo who told the truth and comforted her with kind words, Peng Nian'an's heart knot was finally untied. The little girl hugged her brother and uncle and cried loudly, her cry full of grievance.

Years of accumulated negative emotions were released, and Peng Xuan'an's health improved visibly under the doctor's care. She was no longer like before, wishing she could hide in a place where no one could see her and fend for herself.

She was in a better mood, but her uncle's anger rose two levels because of his niece's crying.

That night, he took County Magistrate Peng directly to the farm outside the city to settle the score with the woman.

The woman was slapped more than a hundred times by his maid, but even so he still felt unsatisfied.

Not only was County Magistrate Peng scolded by him, but even the woman's family was ruthlessly dealt with by Zhao Duo because of the woman's evil deeds.

Originally, the woman's family had been living a good life before because of the protection of the Zhao family. Now they have angered the Zhao family, and many people are trying to please the Zhao family and make things difficult for them. So soon, not only are their good lives gone, but they can't even live the life of an ordinary person who only has one meal a day.

When they went to ask for help from the Zhao family, the Zhao family simply ordered their servants to kick them out. The servants who beat them out also told them clearly what the woman had done in front of the neighbors who were watching the fun.

The woman's family members were not grateful for the financial support she had given them over the years. When they heard that their family was implicated by that woman, they immediately declared that they would cut off ties with her.

The Zhao family doesn't care what they say. They will no longer have any contact with this relative.

As for the woman who was the main culprit, Zhao Duo said to County Magistrate Peng in a meaningful way, "If you can't divorce, then just die of illness. You want to harm my nephew and niece and pretend that nothing happened? Dream on!"

County Magistrate Peng had a hard time speaking out. Not to mention that the woman was the mother of his two children, even if she wasn't, as the chief official of the county, could he really disregard the law and take human life based on his personal likes and dislikes?

He didn't dare mention the law to Zhao Duo, saying that the woman's crime did not deserve the death penalty, but he also did not agree to kill the woman outright.

He said, "This is a time of great trouble, and both you and I need to be cautious. I plan to let her stay at the farm to 'recover' for a while, and when the storm has passed, I will send her back to her hometown and arrange for her to enter the family temple to practice Buddhism with her hair untied."

After hearing this, Zhao Duo felt that it was barely acceptable, so he didn't object anymore.

He left behind County Magistrate Peng, his brother-in-law who had made him unhappy, and began to arrange for Peng Nian'an's physical conditioning, and brought Peng Xuan'an to thank Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan.

The situation on Mu Jingzhi's side was much simpler. After his brother received the letter from his younger brother and learned the whole story, he prepared generous gifts and brought people to Qingshan County without saying a word.

Both families brought a lot of servants and guards, most of whom could only stand outside Bai Jingzhou's yard, so the two families did not stay in Baijia Village for long. After giving gifts of thanks and saying what needed to be said, Zhao Duo and Mu Hanzhi took their children and said goodbye and left.

Mu Jingzhi and Peng Xuan'an said goodbye to Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan reluctantly. It was not because they had already established a deep friendship with Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan, but because these two people could obviously give them a greater sense of security than anyone else.

Bai Lizheng, Bai Jingzhou, Gu Wenxuan, and other people from their two families did not return together until they had sent Mu Jingzhi and others out of the village.

Upon hearing the news, Bai Jingzhou's grandparents, eldest uncle's family, and second uncle's family also rushed over, but they only showed up after Bai Jingzhou and others had gone out to see the guests off.

After sitting down again at Bai Jingzhou's house, Bai Lizheng couldn't wait to ask: "Jingzhou, what on earth is going on?"

Bai Jingzhou faced everyone's scorching gazes and explained to them with a smile, "Once we went into the mountains to hunt, and Wen Xuan saved Master Mu and Master Peng who were in danger. Now their family knows about it, so they brought them here to express their gratitude."

After a pause, he continued, "Wenxuan is a girl. If they go directly to Gu's house, it will easily cause gossip, so I invited them to our house."

Bai Lizheng was unwilling to give up. His last name was Bai, so he certainly hoped that Bai Jingzhou would be more successful than Gu Wenxuan. He asked Bai Jingzhou, "Then why do they keep thanking you two?"

"I was there at the time." Bai Jingzhou said, "Although I didn't help much, I'm Wenxuan's fiancé, so she should at least give me some face."

As he said this, he stuffed all the tokens given by the two families to Gu Wenxuan, "This belongs to you, keep it for yourself."

Bai Jingzhou's parents had no objections, and Bai Chong even reminded them, "Then you should also get a car and deliver these things to Wenxuan's home."

Bai Lizheng and others looked reluctant, but strictly speaking, they had no say in what would happen to these things.

They are not Bai Jingzhou's aunt, so they cannot do anything shameless and only care about interests.

"No, no." Gu Yongming waved his hands and shook his head, "Jingzhou also has a share of these things. Let's do as the two nobles said and let Wenxuan and Jingzhou each take half."
