The journey of the only child of a peasant family to take the imperial examination

Xu asked, "Wu Ya, didn't you have a miscarriage? You should have been resting at home. Why did you suddenly come to Ci County?"

When Wu Ya saw that everyone had returned, her emotions, which had calmed down, started to stir up again, and she started to cry before she could even say a word!

Zhang frowned upon seeing this and scolded him, "If you have something to say, say it. Don't cry all the time. It's like someone has done something to you. How can crying alone solve the problem?!"

After being scolded like this, Wu Ya couldn't cry anymore and could only hold back her tears.

Fang Ziqi helped to explain the whole story.

Of course, he embellished it with his own words, and it was still somewhat different from what Wu Ya said.

Wu Ya later added a few more sentences.

The whole family was very angry after hearing this, but at the same time, they also felt more disappointed in their child.

Mrs. Xu tapped her daughter's forehead fiercely and said, "They withheld your food, and you didn't make a fuss? You even went out to steal food. Do you have any brains at all?"

Wu Ya covered her forehead and hid from Xu, saying, "Well, I saw that my sister-in-law hadn't noticed it yet. I thought she didn't know. Who knew she would do this?"

Zhang listened from the side and said, "Whether your sister-in-law finds out or not, you shouldn't have done this. Even if you were right, you've become wronged. Ping'an is in Ci County now, not far from Lin'an. You can still run to Ci County when you're wronged. But if Ping'an is transferred to another place to be an official, will you follow him? You're already married out, how can this be justified? Don't blame me for being harsh, this is the way it is!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Wu Ya's face suddenly turned unhappy.

But Zhang didn't care what she thought.

Yingniang looked around, hesitant to speak, as if she wanted to persuade but didn't know how.

She herself was still living under someone else's roof, and usually didn't dare to say anything, for fear of offending both sides.

Grandma's words were already very harsh, and Zhang Ping'an didn't know how to respond, so he looked at his fifth brother-in-law and motioned him to express his opinion.

Fang Ziqi understood immediately. Seeing that the topic was not right, he quickly explained with a smile: "Grandma, you are right. I think so too. We are thinking the same thing. I am planning to rent a house near the government office and live with Wu Ya and a few servants. Wu Ya suffered injustice in Lin'an, so let her recuperate in Ci County for a while before making any plans. I will teach her some principles slowly!"

Xu heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this and agreed, "That's great, let's do it! Now that things have come to this, and Wu Ya has already come to Ci County, what else can we do? We can only accept the matter of the child for now. It won't be too late to get back at it when we return to Lin'an. The most urgent thing now is for Wu Ya to take care of her health and get pregnant again!"

Fang Ziqi basically makes the decisions on all matters big and small at home. Once Fang Ziqi said this, Wu Ya had no choice but to do it even if she was unwilling.

Although she always seems to be noisy, it's actually useless.

Not long after getting married, she was completely controlled by Fang Ziqi. Even though she had no feelings for her husband, it did not affect her obedience to him.

Just like that, after having dinner awkwardly, Fang Ziqi took Wu Ya out to live.

This is not a difficult thing to do, and no one is stopping me.

Before we knew it, a few days had passed and the court had a series of incidents where someone's property was confiscated for corruption.

Even Old Man Zhang, who only knew how to fish, heard about it and asked a few questions when he came back in the evening.

After being comforted by Zhang Ping'an, he finally stopped asking.

But this momentum to purge corruption from the imperial court is coming in full force, and this is just the beginning.
