After the marriage was broken off, the husband's family regretted it

Erniu was listening to these words, "Brother, what mother said is right, Xiaocui is not a simple-minded person. I also think she is not suitable for me. I am too simple and can be easily deceived."

"I can listen to whatever others say, but if someone tries to sow discord, I am the best candidate. Xiao Cui should just forget about it."

"I will definitely buy a house in the future, but not now. I haven't even moved in yet, but a house costs tens of thousands of taels of silver. A house in the capital city will cost at least several thousand taels of silver. Do you really think our money came from the wind, as if we picked it up?"

When the lady and Da Niu heard what Er Niu said, they didn't say anything else.

Yun Tao: "Okay, don't talk about this anymore. I will find a good marriage for Sanniu. It would be best if it is someone from a village near us. This way, it will be convenient for our two families to visit each other and everyone can take care of each other."

After finishing their meal, they returned to their own rooms.

Sanniu spent the whole night thinking about whether to agree or not.

I agreed, but that was my mother, and I had to be close to my eldest and second brothers. What would I do if something happened to them? I couldn't bear to see them get into trouble, so if I didn't agree, would I live like this for the rest of my life? I couldn't manage the family business, so what would I do with my sons and daughters in the future? What would I give them?

Brothers should settle accounts clearly, so my eldest brother's family can live well. But who will care about my family?

Sanniu has been struggling and feeling very conflicted.

I have been thinking about this question over and over again.

Sanniu couldn't sleep that night.

When I woke up the next morning, there was a thick black circle around my eyes.

When Yuntao saw Sanniu like this, she asked Sanniu directly, but Sanniu didn't say anything.

No matter how Yuntao asked, Sanniu just wouldn't say anything. Yuntao really had no choice but to pretend that nothing had happened.

After Lihua sent Xiaocui away, she felt particularly happy and even hummed a little tune in the yard.

Magistrate Wu happened to come to Lihua's courtyard and said, "Lihua, what are you so happy about? You even hummed a little tune. I haven't seen you so happy for a long time."

Lihua was a little flustered at first when she saw her master coming, but she calmed down later: "Master, I dreamed that you would come back to see me today. As a result, you really came. Look, I am happy now."

"Speaking of ditties, I haven't sung them for a long time. I feel rusty if I don't sing them. Master, do you still remember? I sang this ditties when you first met me, Master. At that time, when you were not yet the county magistrate, you liked it very much."

Magistrate Wu was filled with joy when he recalled the past. "Yes, you hummed this little tune at that time, and I liked it very much. Lihua, I really like you. For you, I withstood the pressure and married you."

Lihua was so angry that she thought, "What do you like? You are just after my beauty when I was young. I was a beauty at that time. I was also a top star. You just like me because I am young, beautiful and sweet-mouthed."

You damned bastard, you married me for only a few years, but you found several women one after another. If it weren’t for your first wife being so powerful, you might have had more than a dozen wives.

Lihua still said in a fake tone: "Master, I know you are the best to me, and I love you the most."

"Thinking about the old days now, I really miss them, don't you think so, sir?"

Magistrate Wu: "Yes, I heard that you married off the older maid in your mansion."

Lihua: "Yes, Master. We are all women, who doesn't want to find a good home? I am also thinking about them. When they got married, I prepared 10 taels of silver for each of them. Master, the silver I gave them was all my pocket money, not the money in the mansion. And I gave each of them a nice silver hairpin, I spent a lot of money on it. It was also for the sake of Master's face, all done under the banner of Master."

Magistrate Wu: "You are thoughtful."

Magistrate Wu said this happily, but suddenly he remembered why he was looking for Lihua.

When County Magistrate Wu wanted to find Xiao Cui to ask her something, he suddenly heard a servant say that Xiao Cui was taken out of the mansion by the Third Lady to marry someone else.

"Lihua, are there any girls who are getting married from the Second Madam's courtyard?"

Lihua was getting nervous. Why did the master suddenly ask about the Second Madam? The Second Madam had been dead for so long, what was there to ask? Didn't he say before that he would not investigate the Second Madam's affairs? What was he planning to do by asking about her now?

"Master, it seems there is such a person, but I can't remember the details. What's the matter, Master?"

Magistrate Wu: "Nothing, I'm just asking."

County Magistrate Wu was very confused. When Xiaolu came to see him, she told him some things. It has only been a short time. How come she is married off? She is a girl and I don’t think she is very old. Why is she so anxious? I want to ask her some questions now, but she is not here. How can I ask her?

"Lihua, you arranged this person, do you know where she was married to?"

Lihua felt even more uneasy. "Master, isn't she just a maid? How could I care? I have to deal with so many things every day. I can't care about a maid. You have to ask the servants below for details, but don't worry, as long as the girls leave our house, they will definitely live a very good life. Moreover, I gave them 10 taels of silver when they left, so they have confidence in their husband's family, plus they have been paid for so many years in the house."

Magistrate Wu nodded as he listened to these words. "We need to arrange a good home for them. They have worked in our government for so many years, and even if they have no merits, they have worked hard."

"You did the right thing in this matter. You should give them some dowry so that they can marry off with dignity. Now, let's talk about Xiaolu. I want to ask her something, but she's not here. How can I ask her?"

Lihua: "Master, Xiaolu is just a maid. How can she know anything? If you want to ask something, she is not here now. It is not convenient for you to ask. You might as well ask other maids. There are so many maids in the Second Madam's courtyard. You can ask others. Do you think it is possible?"

"Maybe the other maids also know what Xiaolu knows."

County Magistrate Wu thought about it and realized that this was the truth. He stayed with Lihua for a while and then left.
