The younger sister-in-law falsely accused the sickly uncle and ran away with the baby

Yu Ruyue nodded, showing her understanding. "Okay! Then tell me everything you know."

Just when Yang Danniu made up her mind to come back again, the servants had already closed the courtyard gate, blocking out all sights from outside!

Yang Danniu looked at the tightly closed courtyard door and gritted her teeth, saying, "I know you're from the palace. My father said you made a mistake and were sent here to farm, but I don't think so. You're so beautiful and considerate. You've taken great care of every blade of grass and every tree in this courtyard, as well as everything in the house. It's obvious you weren't sent here for a crime."

Yu Ruyue nodded, "Hmm! What does this have to do with asking me to save you and your mother?!"

"My father and his concubine want Yang Jiaojiao to hang around your door for a few more times, waiting for His Majesty to come. Then they will use some tricks to make His Majesty take her into the palace, give birth to a child, and seize the throne!"

Liang Shulan sneered, "He's quite ambitious. No wonder he hangs around our gate every day and peeks at you from time to time!"

Yu Ruyue smiled. "I did guess a little, but I didn't expect them to actually want to seize the throne. Okay! This idea is very promising!"

Yang Danniu didn't expect the two ladies to be so unimpressed. She continued, "My father isn't ill at all. He's just pretending!"

Yu Ruyue said nonchalantly, "I know! So what?!"

Yang Danniu was even more surprised. "You actually knew that? Then why didn't you care about him at all?"

Yu Ruyue shrugged. "He's just an insignificant person. Why should I care so much about him?"

Yang Danniu sat on the ground somewhat dejectedly. "Insignificant people? I thought I could use these to make a deal with Madam and rescue me and my mother."

"These things are useless. It seems that the matter of the fish scale map is nothing to you."

"What's going on with the fish scale pattern!?"

"The fish scale map my father gave you at the beginning was fake, and the account book was also fake. The actual land area is larger than the one marked on the fish scale map, and the harvest is naturally more than what is written in the account book. As for the taxes, he also gave a copy to the higher authorities and kept a copy for himself."

"You lied to the people and said you would collect 80% of the grain. In fact, Your Majesty only allowed people to collect 40% every year. The rest was secretly sold by my father!"

boom!

Liang Shulan slammed her hand on the table. "How dare they deceive both sides? They're sure His Majesty won't come and ask in person, and those farmers won't dare to cause trouble."

"He actually embezzled all the money. No wonder the farmers are so skinny, they can't even afford to eat meat."

Yu Ruyue was also filled with anger. "This Manager Yang has simply made himself a landlord!"

Seeing that the two ladies were so angry, Yang Danniu instantly cheered up. She thought that the empress coming out of the palace would be even more angry about someone trying to seduce His Majesty. After all, which woman would tolerate someone coveting her husband and her children's position? That is the throne!

But unexpectedly, these two ladies who looked extremely wealthy were not angry about stealing their husbands, but instead cared a lot about the corruption and oppression of farmers.

She instantly thought of her mother. If she had had the awareness of these two ladies at that time, she would not be tortured to death now.

Her mother had evidence of her father's corruption, but out of jealousy over Chun Niang, she not only destroyed all the evidence but also implicated herself...

"Madams! Every word I say in this matter is true. My father was very meticulous in his work, and this revision took over ten years!"

"When Your Majesty was still a marquis, he took over this place and didn't come to see it in person. He sent someone, and my father gave that person a large sum of money to get rid of the matter. Now that Your Majesty has become the emperor, he naturally wouldn't expect that someone would dare to deceive him."

"My father is used to this. Previously, my mother discovered his secret and was beaten and locked up at home forever. Even though I was still young at the time, they were afraid I would go out and tell nonsense, so they locked me up too. Now that many years have passed, the incident has gradually been forgotten, so I can take this opportunity to come out and ask for help."

"As long as the two ladies can save me and my mother, I am willing to do anything."

Yu Ruyue nodded and said, "Then do you know where your father's other account book is?"

Yang Danniu shook her head. "Because of the time my mother discovered it, my father never kept real accounts again. He only has the fake account book I showed you."

To be honest, Yu Ruyue was a little surprised, because in her understanding, there were fake account books and real account books, and as long as the real account book was found, the crime could be convicted. She didn't expect that Manager Yang actually only made a fake one.

But then again, he has absolute power in this village, and all the money goes into his pocket, so naturally there is no need to make such a clear distinction.

But even if there weren't real account books, what did it matter? His crimes were far more than that...

"Alright! I agree to what you said. Go back and stay here. It won't be long before your wish comes true."

Yang Danniu kowtowed excitedly, "Thank you, madam, thank you, old madam."

"Big girl is willing to work like a cow and a horse to repay you two."

Yu Ruyue smiled and shook her head. "There's no need to be a slave. Living a good life is better than anything else."

Yang Danniu was a little dazed. Is she supposed to live well? Can someone like her really live well?

After Yang Danniu left, Liang Shulan and Yu Ruyue discussed it again, and then took the two children into the house to rest.

Over the next few days, everyone worked on digging ditches. Yang Danniu came out to help every day, but she was still wearing the same ill-fitting clothes...

About three days later, the canal was finally dug. The moment the water flowed, everyone cheered loudly.

Next, we start soaking the ground. The ground must be soaked thoroughly to allow the rice to take root better.

Yu Ruyue watched them use the ox cart to turn the soil over again, and then use wooden boards to break up and flatten the mud. Finally, they used a net to scoop out all the dirt floating on the water to prevent it from sticking to the rice seedlings and slowing down their growth.

Wait for the ground to be thoroughly soaked and cleaned, and for the seedlings to grow out.

When Yu Ruyue lifted the straw covering the rice field, everyone was stunned by the green and neat rice seedlings. They had never seen rice seedlings that were so neat and strong.

Liang Shulan touched it again and again, her eyes full of joy, "It's really pleasing to look at!"

Manager Yang also hurried over to take a look. Looking at the extremely lush rice seedlings, a flash of shock flashed in his eyes, but he soon became complacent, thinking, "Plant it, plant it! No matter how much you plant, it will all be for him!"
