You confiscated my property, I exiled you, why are you crying when the treasury is empty?

"That's how you treat my niece!"

“I thought you were a good person, but I didn’t expect Han Qiu to be abused like this!”

"You will be punished by God if you do this!"

"They're both daughters, but look how different they are!"

"We've been sending you a lot of money over the years, asking you to treat Hanqiu well, fearing you'd be harsh on her. I never thought you'd develop such a vicious heart. All the money we've spent over the years has been wasted!"

When Su Wanning and the others arrived, they saw Minister Zhang being knocked to the ground by two men.

Zhang Hanqiu was in the arms of an old woman with red eyes.

There were two other women beside the old woman, who were also looking at Zhang Hanqiu with distressed expressions.

One of the women came back from a short while with a piece of paper covered with words.

He walked up to one of the men in front of Minister Zhang and handed him the thing in his hand.

The man handed the paper to Minister Zhang, "Please sign this letter of severance."

Minister Zhang's wife shouted, "We can't sign it. If that girl leaves home, who will cook our meals and wash our clothes on the road?"

The two men clenched their fists and looked at Minister Zhang's wife, who stepped back in fear.

The woman who had delivered the severance letter walked up to Madam Zhang and slapped her. "My husband and my elder brother don't hit women, but I do! You're a mother, yet you've raised my niece like this? Aren't you afraid that my younger sister will drag you down to hell in her dreams?"

He slapped her again, "If your parents knew that the daughter they raised was actually a stepmother like this, they would be speechless in front of their ancestors. You would be so sorry to your parents and your children. How are you still alive?"

Madam Zhang covered her face and was about to fight back, "You dare to hit me, I...ah!"

Zhang Hanqiu's second aunt pushed Madam Zhang to the ground and said, "From now on, every day when you sleep, remember to open one eye and close the other."

The two men beat Minister Zhang again, "Sign quickly!"

Minister Zhang couldn't bear it any longer and picked up the pen.

Madam Zhang called out, "Zi Rong went to invite Master Peng over."

After being reminded by Mrs. Zhang, Minister Zhang realized that his daughter was married to Mr. Peng, and he didn't believe that this group of people would dare to do anything to him as long as Mr. Peng came.

When Zhang Hanqiu is at their house, this group of people will definitely not want Zhang Hanqiu to suffer, and will definitely bring him money and food, so their family won't have to do anything.

Zhang Hanqiu's uncle bent down and looked at Minister Zhang, who looked like he was thinking of something bad, and ruthlessly exposed him, "Why do you think the officials haven't come in such a long time?"

When Minister Zhang thought of the outcome, his face turned pale. A quarter of an hour had already passed since they started causing trouble. If they had come, they would have come long ago.

Looking at the letter of severance in front of him, he hesitated for a long time and still decided not to sign it. The worst that could happen was that he would get beaten a few times.

Zhang Hanqiu's uncle saw that he was still not ready to sign and chuckled, "Do you want everyone to know your secret and laugh at you for the rest of your life?"

Minister Zhang's face changed drastically. Without caring about anything else, he picked up the pen and signed his name.

Zhang Hanqiu's uncle picked up the letter of severance and patted Minister Zhang on the shoulder. "Don't worry, once you sign it, I won't tell anyone about your short, ugly, and small figure. I will certainly not tell anyone that the son you had in your old age is actually someone else's child."

His voice was so loud that almost everyone around him heard what he said.

Zhang Hanqiu's uncle seemed to have just realized what was happening. "Oh, why are there so many people gathered here? I thought my voice was so soft that no one could have heard it, right?"

The people around smiled and waved their hands, indicating that they didn't hear anything, but the discussions continued one after another.

"He's actually doing this. Then the rumor that he called for water several times a night was it just to buffer the problem?"

"Who says it's not?"

"If it's really as he said, then his son can't really be someone else's."

"It seems his son doesn't look like him at all."

"Not only his son, I don't even think his daughter, who married Master Peng as a concubine, looks like him."

"Now that you put it that way, it seems so. I think only the daughter born to the original wife is the biological child."

Zhang Shilang heard every word of everyone's conversation very clearly. He looked at his son who was being protected by his wife, and then looked at his daughter who said she was going to call the officials over.

I remembered what a servant in the mansion had said before, "The young lady and the young master's personalities are not like the master at all. Instead, they are more like a farmhand hired by the lady."

Looking back now, it was as if everything was explained, and he looked at his wife with sharp eyes.

He stood up tremblingly and walked in front of his wife.

"Master, they are all talking nonsense. Yan'er and Zirong are both your biological children. I have never betrayed you. Master, you have to believe me, you...ah!"

Minister Zhang completely ignored her explanation and just reached out and hit her.

"I'll let you cuckold me."

"Let you have sex with others."

"Go to hell, go to hell!"

……

Su Wanning and Zhan Yiran were watching the excitement from the outside.

"Are you saying that those two children are really not Minister Zhang's?" Zhan Yiran asked.

"How is that possible?" Su Wanning raised her chin. "Look, Minister Zhang and his children have very similar facial features. I'm afraid Zhang Hanqiu's uncle must have made that up."

After Su Wanning's description, but still looking carefully, it was discovered that the appearance of Minister Zhang and his children was indeed quite similar.

As the crowd dispersed, Su Wanning and Zhan Yiran returned to their resting place to continue their meal.

I just finished my meal and wanted to take a break.

What Su Wanning didn't expect was that Zhang Hanqiu came to their resting place.

"Thank you, Miss Su, for what happened a few days ago." As he said this, he handed the thing in his hand to Su Wanning.

Su Wanning naturally knew what Zhang Hanqiu was talking about.

"It's just a matter of one sentence, there's no need to do this."

"If it weren't for Miss Su's words, I'm afraid I wouldn't be alive today. I hope Miss Su will accept this little thing." After saying that, he handed the thing in his hand to Su Wanning.

Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Su Wanning accepted the things Zhang Hanqiu handed over and said, "I'll accept them. I'll live a good life with your grandparents from now on."

Zhang Hanqiu nodded, "I will."

After Zhang Hanqiu left, Su Wanning opened the thing wrapped in oil paper. It was a stack of silver notes with a face value of 100 taels, which amounted to about 2,000 taels.

I didn’t expect that Zhang Hanqiu’s maternal grandfather’s family was so wealthy that they could come up with so many banknotes at this time.

Glancing at Zhang Hanqiu's back, she saw her maternal grandparents in front of her, smiling and extending their hands to greet her.

Put the banknote into the space, close your eyes and lie on the grass.

After dozing for a while, Su Wanning stood up.
