Traveling through time and space

"Yes, Qiu Sheng, the Bai family is asking for trouble. They flirted with the princess, and this is what they deserve. You have already repaid your love for the Bai family, and you have even sacrificed Fang'er's life. Where else in the world can you be a father like you?" A woman in her forties stepped forward and spoke.

"Aunt," Wei Lizheng sighed.

"Qiu Sheng, what's done is done. It's been decades, and it's long gone."

"Auntie, my Fang'er has such a miserable life, having such a father." The village head's wife sobbed. The daughter she was talking about also kept crying.

"This princess and Miss Wei are destined to be together. Old Lady Bai, do you want to go to jail with your son? Molesting the princess is punishable by death, but since you said I'm kind and beautiful, I'll spare your death sentence. However, you can't escape the punishment of life, so you'll have to serve three years in prison."

Mrs. Bai fell to the ground, moved over, and pulled the kneeling Wei Lizheng, "Brother Qiusheng, your brother Bai is dead, you can't just ignore us orphans and widows. The head of our family is really devoted to you, and you have the heart to let us go to jail..."

Su Yuanyuan pointed at Rumei, who leaned forward to whisper something. Su Yuanyuan asked her to ask if Miss Wei wanted to be free again. Rumei stepped forward to whisper to the squatting Wei Lanfang. Miss Wei's body was obviously shaken, and she nodded quickly. "Old Lady Bai, this princess can also spare the lives of you and your son, but it depends on whether you cooperate or not."

"As long as the princess spares my son and me, I will agree to whatever the princess says." Mrs. Bai responded and stood up.

"How dare you! Who allowed you to stand up?" Su Yuanyuan asked. Rumei stepped forward and kicked Old Bai, sending her back to her knees. "Now, this princess gives you two choices. One is that you and your son go to jail for three years. The other is that you sign a divorce agreement with Miss Wei right now and let her return home. From now on, Miss Wei will have nothing to do with the Bai family."

"No," two people spoke at the same time. They were Bai Po and Wei Lizheng. "Princess, I can't let Wei Lanfang go. Otherwise, bring me one hundred taels of silver so that I can help my son find another wife." Bai Po shouted.

"Wei Lizheng, why don't you let Miss Wei be free?" Su Yuanyuan asked as she sat down.

"To answer the princess, this is a favor from the previous generation, and I have to repay it. The Bai family has suffered a great disaster. How can Fang leave at this time?"

"Wei Qiu Sheng, you should repay the favor you owe me yourself. Why should you sacrifice Lan Fang's life? I gave birth to Lan Fang at the risk of my life. I can't let you ruin her anymore. Let's get divorced. I will take Lan Fang away from here." Wei Lan Fang's mother stood up firmly.

"How boring! I can no longer manage your family. Send this beast to the government office."

"Please spare my life, Princess." There was another round of noise.

"Wei Qiusheng, do you also want to plead for the Bai family?" Su Yuanyuan asked seriously.

"Yes, Princess,"

"Are the village heads and clan leaders from other villages here?" Su Yuanyuan asked, looking around.

"In reply to the princess, I am Yin Shixin, the head of Fengming Village."

"The younger one is Jiang Taoyue, the village head of Duoliang Village."

Su Yuanyuan nodded. "Wei Lizheng, you're a pedantic person. Sometimes, you can't handle things fairly and impartially. You actually watched your own daughter being abused and scolded by others. This is really eye-opening for me. I can imagine how sentimental you are to some people. How can such a person live a good life with a group of villagers who are not related to you by blood? Think about it carefully first." Su Yuanyuan looked at Wei Lanfang helplessly. "You two, follow me. I have something to ask you."

"Princess, I would rather be with the Buddha for the rest of my life than leave the Bai family. Please, Princess, make the decision for me."

"Wei Qiusheng, go write the divorce agreement. I beg the princess to let Lan Fang leave the Bai family. I am willing to take Lan Fang away from here."

"No, I won't divorce."

"Well, we, mother and daughter, will die in front of you." Lan Fang's mother stood up and pulled Lan Fang to run to the ruins nearby. Everyone stopped the mother and son and comforted them.

"Princess, the prince is here." Someone came in and said.

"Send this man to the yamen, and no one is allowed to plead for him." Su Yuanyuan stood up and pointed at the fool from the Bai family. Su Yuanyuan didn't want to waste time with them anymore.

"Princess, I am willing. I am willing to let Lan Fang go."

"Okay, everyone can testify. If anyone can write, please come out and help."

"Princess, my name is Zhang Sixue, and I can write a few words."

"Okay, please write it and give Miss Wei back her freedom." Su Yuanyuan looked back at her people and said, "Let's go and take a look."

"I thank the princess for saving my life." Wei Lanfang stopped her just as she was about to take a step.

"Miss Wei, live your own life from now on." Su Yuanyuan said only this, and then left. "Yin Shixin and Jiang Taoyue, you follow me." Su Yuanyuan looked back at Wei Qiusheng, who was kneeling on the ground. "We arrived too late yesterday and didn't have time to ask about the funeral arrangements for those who passed away. Have you taken care of everything?"

"In reply to the princess, no, they are all temporarily placed in Fengming Village, less than ten miles away. Everyone feels that their deaths are too pitiful. After discussing it with the several village heads, we still want to ask the court for some coffins so that they can be properly buried. We can't just send them away on a shabby mat."

"You're right. Life in this world is incredibly difficult."

"Princess, actually Li Zheng Wei is a good village chief. He is just a little confused about this matter. He is sincerely working for the people, otherwise we village chiefs would not listen to him," Yin Shixin knelt in front of her.

"Yes, Princess, he is a good man."

"Since you all want to plead for him, let's go find the prince and the others together." Su Yuanyuan knew that Wei Lizheng was not a bad person, so she let it go. This was his family matter, and she just needed to help Miss Wei. "But you have to make it clear to Wei Lizheng that you are not allowed to embarrass Miss Wei again in the future. This is my bottom line.

"Princess," a group of people came out, led by Prince De.

"Hello, Your Highness." Su Yuanyuan greeted.

"Your subordinates greet the princess." The group of people who followed her bowed and asked her hello, many of whom were strangers.

"Hello, my Lord. There is something I want to discuss with you, Your Highness. There are many people affected by the disaster in Quanyang Town, Liuwan Town, Pengzigou, Maziling, Fengming Village, and Duoliang Village. There are more than a thousand dead. They must be buried as soon as possible. We can't just leave them there and ignore them." Su Yuanyuan didn't expect that those people hadn't been buried yet. But it was no wonder. The remaining two hundred people didn't have the ability to bury more than a thousand people.

"Princess, don't worry. When I heard what Wei Lizheng said last night, I sent someone to deliver a letter to Lord Shang. The letter has been passed on to the county government office. Today they will urgently dispatch coffins from the nearby coffin shop to accommodate these refugees." Du Heng stepped forward and replied.

"The demand for this batch is quite large, about 2,000 in total. When will we be able to gather enough to bury these people? Instead of waiting, why not find some carpenters or someone who knows how to do carpentry and start working right away? It's better than waiting forever. There's plenty of wood on this mountain."
