Tian Erniu lay on the ground, one hand covering his buttocks, "Sister, I am your biological brother, what did I do wrong? Why do you hit me as soon as we meet?"

Tian Xinghua snorted coldly and glanced at Aunt Zhang.

Nanny Zhang quickly stepped forward and shouted, "According to our dynasty's laws, rape is punishable by hanging, attempted rape is punishable by 100 strokes of the cane and exile for 3,000 miles, and raping a girl under the age of twelve is considered rape."

Tian Erniu shuddered and then shouted, "She's just a maid. It's only natural for the master to sleep with her. How can that be considered rape... or something?"

"Maid? She's the eldest princess's seventh-rank female official. Besides, what kind of master are you?"

When Liu and others heard this, they turned pale with fright.

Tian Daniu was so frightened that he stammered, "Seventh rank? Oh my god, isn't this equivalent to the magistrate of Lunshan County? Erniu, how dare you rape a county magistrate?"

Tian Xinghua's face darkened immediately as she asked Zhang Qiao, "Madam Zhang, what is the crime of a commoner bullying an official?"

Nanny Zhang shouted, "People who bully officials without reason shall be beaten to death."

"Mother, save me. I don't want to die. Big sister, spare my life, big sister. I didn't know. I really didn't know that a maid could be an official."

Tian Xinghua suddenly said in a deep voice: "Humph, in this capital, let alone a maid, even a horse or a cow could be a hero. Didn't you ask around before you came to the capital?"

Liu immediately knelt on the ground and cried, "No, no, we have never left the county, how could we know this?

"Xing, Xinghua, Erniu is a descendant of our Tian family, your biological brother. He was just confused for a moment. Since I found you a top scholar, will you forgive him?"

Tian Daniu also quickly said: "Yes, sister, are you still waiting for us to support you?"

It would have been fine if she hadn't said this. When Tian Xinghua heard what Tian Daniu said, she suddenly came up with an idea.

She frowned and said, "You guys should get up first. I have to ask the housekeeper of the Princess's Mansion to forgive you. Whether it succeeds or not, don't hold out too much hope."

Liu and others stayed in the guest house, being very cautious and no longer daring to act arrogantly.

Tian Erniu asked in a tearful voice, "Mom, I won't be beaten to death, will I?"

Tian Daniu said in a muffled voice, "No, my elder sister said she would plead for mercy."

At this moment, the door of the guest house was slammed shut.

The four of them were startled.

Sanniu ran out with a thump, thump, thump, and then ran back with a frightened look on his face, trembling and saying, "Mom, it's bad, we're locked up."

"What? Why did you lock us up?"

Liu was terrified. She ran to the door and pulled it, only to find that it was locked.

At this moment, a maid's voice came over, "Hey, Aunt Hua, why is the door locked?"

"Oh, just now Master Chang from the Princess's Mansion said that someone here actually dared to molest Miss Seven. You know, although Miss Seven is just a maid, she caught the eye of that person."

"Ah? Isn't this family courting death? Not only the Madam, but even the Princess wouldn't dare to offend that man. Now, this family is doomed."

"That's right, Madam, your eyes are red from crying, and you're having a coffin prepared. Madam, after all, they're your family, and that man wants to kill not only the Second Master, but also Madam Liu, the First Master, and the Third Master. He also said that if you plead for mercy, he'll kill you too. Madam, there's nothing you can do to save them, you can only collect their bodies."

Liu was so scared that she cried out "Wow" and started crying.

At this time, a scolding voice came from outside: "Shut up, if you cry again, I will lead that person here. You will not be able to wait until tomorrow, you will die today."

Liu quickly covered her mouth and dared not make another sound.

Behind him, Tian Erniu covered his buttocks and shivered, "Why am I going to die? I just touched that woman, and I'm going to die?"

Tian Daniu was horrified. "Mother, that man dared to kill my eldest sister and even dared not offend the princess. Who is that man? Second brother, did you touch a concubine?"

"Burp" Liu fainted.

There was a sudden commotion in the yard.

Tian Xinghua hid outside the guest room and asked Zhang Qiao, "Madam Zhang, my stepmother won't be scared to death, right?"

Zhang Qiao was also a little uneasy. She whispered, "Madam, how about I go and take a look?"

Tian Xinghua thought for a moment and whispered a few words into her ear. Zhang Qiao's eyes lit up and she smiled, "Madam, just watch."

On a sunny day in May, in broad daylight, Zhang Qiao put on a black cloak and sneaked into the guest house.

As soon as Liu was awakened by her son pinching her Ren Zhong, she saw Zhang Qiao wearing a black cloak. She thought it was the Black Impermanence coming to capture her, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted again.

The three cows of the Tian family were in a panic again, and Liu was strangled awake again.

Zhang Qiao quickly took off his black cloak and said sweatily, "Don't be afraid, old lady. I was sent by the Madam. The Madam took advantage of the man's nap and asked me to come secretly and let you go. If you leave now, you still have time to leave the city."

Watching Liu leading the three cows hurriedly leaving from the corner gate, Zhang Qiao touched the two hundred taels of silver in his arms and sighed.

Madam said that if any of these people could ask whether the man would be angry with her if she let them go privately, she would give them the two hundred taels of silver.

But these people were only concerned about escaping, and Sanniu even took away the copper oil lamp in the mansion.

They ran away without looking back, and no one asked "Madam." That's it, if they are not siblings from the same mother, they are not related.

Tian Xinghua looked at the two hundred taels of silver that Zhang Qiao brought back and said nothing.

After going through so much, she no longer cares about others. She only lives for her children.

Zhang Zihan knew about this and praised her lovingly: "Madam is smart, but you are so naughty for doing this."

What do you mean by naughty? She is not a child. What are you talking about, husband?

Tian Xinghua's face turned red with embarrassment.

Aunt Zhang covered her mouth and laughed.

When Song Sanzhu heard about this, his eyes lit up: This is a good idea. When my parents come to Beijing, I will use this method to scare them back.

Li Cheng and Xiao Si looked at each other: Hey! That family might not be easy to fool!

However, Liu and his companions did not dare to stay and ran out of the city gate. Just as they were leaving the city gate, an ox cart swayed into the city.

On the ox cart were Zhang Zihan's grandfather and uncle's family.

In southern Xinjiang, the Su family army took the lead, and the first, second, and third Dingguo armies surrounded them from both wings.

Because the treasure-hunting rat Junjun did a good job of instigating rebellion, the elephant soldiers were in disarray and the battle ended in an absolute victory.

Within half a month, they advanced another 500 miles in the same way and approached the Southern Xinjiang Palace.

Wei Qiliang was still in charge of the rear. Every time Song Jinxiu and his men captured a city, he would advance one city.

Using the "holy water" and mosquito repellent brought by Song Jinfang, they negotiated with the village and forced them to surrender.

Song Jinfang led the Dragon and Tiger Battalion, along with Xiao Kuishan of the Tenth Route Army, in a counterattack against Panlong Village. They also left behind "holy water" and mosquito repellent wherever they passed, while also promoting hygiene and preventing poisoning.

The moon is dark and the wind is strong, and there are no stars tonight. But Song Jinxiu can see the stars with an astronomical telescope.

She looked at the capital, her eyes full of worry.
