Rebirth of an Old Farmer: Escape from Famine with Children and Grandchildren

Especially Sun Wan and the little girl who was crying with her face covered, their clothes were tattered, while Liu Zijing was dressed in gorgeous clothes. It was a vivid scene of a bully bullying a weak girl.

Liu Zijing almost fainted.

He pointed at Sun Wan, his body trembling. "You bitch! You're talking nonsense!"

"I, I, no, it was the woman next to you who broke my wine and ran away. I just wanted to get an explanation, so I came back to you!"

"I originally thought that as long as you sincerely admitted your mistakes and apologized, this matter would be over. Who knew that you, an old woman, would come and yell that you wanted to sell your daughter to me!"

Liu Zijing's lies became more and more fluent. He gradually straightened his back, his tone became more and more firm, and he stared at Sun Wan with a righteous look on his face.

"Not only do you want to sell my daughter to me, you're also asking for extra money, saying you won't give up until you get ten taels of silver!"

"Pooh!"

Sun Wan was furious and immediately spat in Liu Zijing's face: "You are educated, but you lie so easily!"

"If I really had the guts to ask you for money, would your servants be just for show? The wounds on my body are still visible!"

"Besides, your men on the street all said that my sister broke the wine you had hidden for twenty years and asked us to pay a thousand gold coins. How do you explain it?"

Liu Zijing's face turned even paler, and he was about to make an excuse when Ren Moxuan suddenly chuckled.

Liu Zijing quickly shut up and looked at Ren Moxuan cautiously: "Moxuan, you..."

Ren Moxuan completely ignored him, stood up leisurely, and walked around Sun Wan and Lin Xiangxiang.

Suddenly, he grabbed Lin Xiangxiang's hand.

Because of the unbearable experience in Tuzhou, Lin Xiangxiang was extremely sensitive to the approach of men. When she was suddenly touched like this, she immediately screamed and hid behind Sun Wan in panic.

Sun Wan quickly stood in front of her, looked at Ren Moxuan warily and said, "Sir, my sister has been frightened before, please don't scare her."

"Just tell me if you have anything to say!"

Ren Moxuan glanced at Lin Xiangxiang thoughtfully.

"Since you all have your own reasons, why not call the people who were present at the time to confront them?"

Sun Wan's eyes lit up, and she quickly said, "It's right below Zuixian Tower. There are many foreign fur traders gathered there. They don't know us, so they definitely won't lie!"

Ren Moxuan nodded, and then several people outside the door quickly went downstairs to do it.

Liu Zijing naturally saw all of this. His face changed drastically, and he was almost speechless: "Mo Xuan, why make such a big deal out of such a small matter?"

Ren Moxuan sneered, "How can this be a trivial matter? This concerns your reputation. Now that you're engaged to my sister, this matter is inextricably linked to our Ren family."

Liu Zijing's smile completely froze.

Soon, several unfamiliar fur merchants were brought upstairs. Everyone in Zuixianlou was attracted by the show and gathered around to watch curiously.

Sun Wan saw Zaha in the crowd at a glance, but she just glanced at him quickly and then looked away.

Those fur merchants thought they had gotten into some big trouble and were very nervous after being taken to Zuixianlou.

It was not until they heard Ren Moxuan's explanation that everyone realized they were there to bear witness.

Seeing Ren Moxuan's noble appearance and extraordinary bearing, everyone did not dare to hide anything and told the truth about what they had seen and heard.

Zaha had his own plans in mind.

He felt quite sympathetic towards Sun Wan's situation and even took the risk of informing his family. Although he has not received any response so far, since he has done a good thing, he must follow through.

Then Zaha added:

"Actually, when the lady discovered that the girl had accidentally broken the wine, she immediately offered to compensate her, but those people ignored her and insisted on taking her away."

"Later, the lady said that even if there was a mistake, it should be reported to the authorities. How could she bring people to resort to lynching? As a result, those people simply gagged her and dragged her into the restaurant."

"And you still say there's no law here."

As soon as these words were spoken, the people around gasped and looked at Liu Zijing with eyes full of astonishment and contempt.

Liu Zijing's legs went limp and he fell back into his chair.

Ren Moxuan's lips curled up slightly, but there was no trace of smile in his eyes: "What a good excuse for 'no law'."

"Mo Xuan, listen to me and let me explain—"

Liu Zijing frantically looked up and wanted to say something to Ren Moxuan, but was interrupted by the other party with a cold snort: "Only a beast would do such a thing as forcing a woman into prostitution in broad daylight."

"I also want to ask where the owner of Zuixianlou is!"

The owner of Zuixianlou hurried forward and said, "We have been waiting for you here for a long time."

"I heard that Zuixianlou opened the twenty-year-old daughter's red wine today. Could it be that a girl really knocked it over?" the man asked.

The boss's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and he cursed in his heart: "That's not the case. The wine is still good."

"The jar Young Master Liu took hasn't been opened yet. How could it be opened? It's still lying safely in the cellar."

"But there are other twenty-year-old vintages in the store?"

The boss shook his head helplessly: "There really is no more."

"Then the matter becomes clear."

Ren Moxuan turned around, his eyes fixed on the pale, dazed Liu Zijing, and ordered sternly, "Come here, arrest these villains who framed good people, broke the law, and forced women into prostitution. Send them to the government office for punishment!"

"As ordered!"

After giving the order, several people came forward and dragged Liu Zijing out like a dead dog.

Liu Zijing was not as tough as Sun Wan and the others. Before he even left the private room, his legs had already gone weak and he almost collapsed to the ground.

The rest were taken away in the same way.

Sun Wan hugged the trembling Lin Xiangxiang tightly in her arms. Seeing that the guys who were so arrogant just now were now like defeated roosters, she felt a mixture of joy and sorrow in her heart.

If it weren't for Master Ren's help today, I'm afraid they would have ended up in the same miserable situation.

Thinking of this, Sun Wan hurriedly pulled Lin Xiangxiang up and thanked Ren Moxuan, her eyes full of gratitude.

Ren Moxuan waved his hand casually, indicating that you're welcome.

His eyes swept across the next box and finally stopped at Lin Xiangxiang behind Sun Wan.

"This girl seems frightened and in low spirits?"

Sun Wan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and admitted, "Yes, this child fled here with us. We went through a lot of hardships on the way and even encountered a pack of wolves. He was very scared."

When others heard this, they couldn't help but sigh in sympathy.

Looking at Lin Xiangxiang again, she was pretty and in her youth, and he felt even more pity for her.

At this time, someone suggested: "I know an old Chinese doctor with excellent medical skills, who may be able to help this girl."

Another person retorted, "Isn't that old Chinese doctor of yours a charlatan? I know the most famous doctor in Huizhou City, Dr. Qinglu. Why don't I take this girl to him for treatment?"

"Hmph! Just based on you, what are you thinking? Is there any difference between this girl falling into your hands and falling into the hands of Liu Zijing, a hypocrite?"
