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

Li Wanjun and Yaya felt embarrassed. They were the ones who said they were leaving, and now they were the ones who came back covered in dust.

Neither of them spoke a word, looking at the lady pitifully.

Yaya has the lowest status in the family, and it is even harder to talk to her now. She keeps her head down and looks at the ground.

Although Li Wanjun felt very embarrassed and it was indeed her fault, she did not feel that she was inferior to others. She felt very uncomfortable when she saw the lady speaking in a sarcastic tone.

"Sister-in-law, aren't we back now?"

Li Wanjun seemed awkward after she finished speaking, which was a provocation in the eyes of a lady.

The lady looked at Li Wanjun coldly, "Didn't you say in the letter you left me that you went to the imperial capital? Why are you back now?"

"Why come back? The village is not as good as the imperial capital. If I were you, I would keep going forward and not come back. I would go to the imperial capital. There are big houses in the imperial capital. Besides, mother, your elder brother, and younger brother are all here. In such a big house in the imperial capital, there might even be maids to serve you."

The lady kept talking there and never stopped.

Yaya and Li Wanjun's faces turned green.

It's true that what the lady said was too yin and yang.

Yaya has been acting like a quail, saying nothing and bearing it silently.

But Li Wanjun was born into a wealthy family and cannot stand being bullied.

Li Wanjun couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, "Sister-in-law, we know we are wrong, isn't that enough? You keep talking and talking, aren't you annoying? We are not servants, you don't need to lecture us like this."

After saying this, Li Wanjun went straight back to her room.

Yaya also ran away immediately when she saw the scene in front of her.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the lady was angry. If she didn't run away now, would she be used as a punching bag later?

The lady was very angry. Isn't it just a baby in her belly? What if it's a girl? What's the big deal?

"You really think you're a princess. You were born a young lady, but you still married Erniu, who was born a peasant. What's so great about that?"

"Do you think I don't know that you were never favored in your Li family before? Otherwise, your father would have let you marry Erniu."

"Li Wanjun, don't forget that when you married into the Wang family, you didn't even have a dowry."

The lady was furious and said everything in her heart. Anyway, the two of them had already torn their faces apart, so why bother to care so much.

Li Wanjun was furious when she heard what the lady said. It was her pain that she married into the Wang family without a dowry. At that time, she made a lot of jokes in the village and was laughed at by the villagers for a long time.

Li Wanjun was so angry that her teeth were itching, and she wanted to tear the lady into pieces to vent her hatred.

Yaya seemed to have heard some shocking news and had been lying at the door listening to gossip, but she had no idea about this.

Yaya couldn't stop smiling. When she first got married, she felt embarrassed that her dowry was too little.

I didn't expect that my second sister-in-law didn't have any dowry at all. It seems that her father is a wealthy man.

I didn't expect the family to be so stingy and poor. He embezzled his own daughter's dowry.

Yaya was very happy.

Yuntao has been waiting for news from County Magistrate Wu.

"Mother, County Magistrate Wu is here."

Yun Tao stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go with mother."

Da Niu and San Niu immediately left with Yun Tao.

The two walked behind Yuntao and could clearly feel Yuntao's nervousness.

Sanniu whispered, "Mom."

Yun Tao looked at the two of them and said, "When we get there, you two should keep quiet, okay?"

Da Niu and San Niu looked at each other.

The two of them tacitly understood each other and said nothing.

The three of them arrived at Magistrate Wu's residence. Magistrate Wu smiled embarrassedly when he saw them.

County Magistrate Wu was very conflicted, as he felt that no matter what he did, he would be unpopular with everyone.

Yun Tao helped me a lot. Otherwise, I would not have been able to come to the imperial capital. Although he was still a small official, he was a Beijing official.

He is much stronger than the local officials. He is not comparable to them. If he doesn't help me, it would be a betrayal.

I helped myself, but my career is over, alas.

County Magistrate Wu's brows were always furrowed and never relaxed.

Yuntao, Da Niu and San Niu all knew what the result would be. They could tell by looking at the current appearance of County Magistrate Wu.

Yun Tao sighed, "Brother Wu, if you have something to say, just say it directly."

Magistrate Wu recounted everything he had found out.

Everyone felt heavy-hearted after hearing this.

"Brother Wu, don't you have any other solution?"

Magistrate Wu also sighed deeply.

"There's no other way. You can't win by just forcing yourself. Unless you have a stronger backer, you can only swallow your anger."

The Zhang family of Ziyun Pavilion is backed by the Right Prime Minister. In fact, they are the Right Prime Minister's money bag. If you go against the Zhang family, you are going against the Right Prime Minister. "

Don’t even think about surviving in the imperial capital anymore. Maybe people will even make trouble for you when you return to the village.

After all, the people do not fight against the officials.

Yun Tao was also helpless. It seemed that she had to eat the bitter pill herself. She had no choice but to eat it.

"I can let this matter go, but my son, Sima Xiangru, and Senior Sima must be returned to me safely."

"If anything happens to the three of them, I will make it known to everyone, even if it means my death."

Magistrate Wu remained silent the entire time.

“Why, there is a problem.”

Yun Tao looked at him with a frown.

"No, it's been so long, I don't know what the three of them are doing now. And I heard that the Zhang family of Ziyun Pavilion also received the letter."

County Magistrate Wu lacks confidence.

I am stuck in the middle and feel like a nobody. In fact, it has nothing to do with me at all.

County Magistrate Wu felt so bitter in his heart, he felt that his job was really a thankless one.

Sanniu said quickly, "What letter? Is it the letter we received?"

The three of them saw disbelief in each other's eyes.

"Yes, that's the letter. The Zhang family told me that they want 60,000 taels of silver. 60,000, a full 10,000 more than you have."

Sanniu laughed out loud embarrassedly.

"Why, did he think that the Zhang family of Ziyun Pavilion is richer than us, so he asked for an extra 10,000 taels of silver?"

Ten thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. With ten thousand taels of silver, the Yuntao family can just stay at home and relax.

The three of them were happy and sad.

"Brother Wu, things have already come to this. As long as the people come back safely, everything will be fine."

It is impossible for me to give you the silver. If you want the silver, the Zhang family will give it to you.

After a few people discussed it, they left in shame.
