The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

Song Yuntang looked a little reluctant.

"It's going to take at least ten days to get from here to Jing County, right? Plus, the child might delay the journey even longer. Madam, it will probably take another half a month to get to Jing County. You must be careful on the road."

Although Yao was thirteen years older than her, she did not have the unattainable feeling that ordinary ladies had.

After meeting her a few times, I felt that it was rare to meet someone who got along so well with me.

Yao took her hand.

"We will be careful. As for you, if your husband makes the list this time, I'm afraid you'll have to go to the capital. He's not with you. If you have any difficult problems, go to the provincial capital to seek help from my brother. I've already informed my brother and his wife."

Song Yuntang smiled.

"Thank you." She took out several bottles of pills she had prepared beforehand from her bosom. "The journey to Jing County is long, so please keep these common medicines on hand just in case. Remember to write me a letter to let me know you're safe when you arrive."

Yao's eyes were red.

"Yes, I will certainly write to you."

She winked at Baosheng beside her.

Baosheng brought out a box from the house.

Yao opened the box and said, "You mentioned earlier that you wanted a deck of mahjong cards. I had a craftsman custom-make this for you, so I'm taking this opportunity to give it to you."

Song Yuntang reached out and took it.

"When I have the chance to go to Jing County, I will definitely invite Madam to play mahjong again."

Yao smiled.

"Okay, I'll be there whenever you call."

The two chatted for a while before Song Yuntang left Yao's place.

When leaving Zhu's mansion, Xu Qingye just drove the carriage to the door of Zhu's mansion.

"Where did you go just now?"

Xu Qingye took her hand and helped her into the carriage.

"I went to the teacher and told him that I had decided to go to the capital."

Thinking of the impending separation, Song Yuntang put away his smile.

"Now that you're gone, we won't see each other again until next May."

As she spoke, she got into the carriage.

After Xu Qingye entered the car, he reached out and held her in his arms.

"If everything goes well, the earliest will be next May." He turned his head to look at her, "How about Tang'er reconsider and come with me to the capital?"

Song Yuntang thought about it and shook his head.

"Things here haven't been settled yet. I just told Nian'er today that I want her to make decisions for me regarding the farm and business in the future. When the time comes, I'll have Guiping accompany you to the capital to take care of you. He's been in the clinic for almost ten months, so he knows a bit about medicine. I'll feel at ease having him with you."

Guiping was a servant hired last year to work in the clinic.

The indenture contract was in her hand, so she could use it with confidence.

……

As soon as the carriage arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Lin Zhaozhao rushed over from not far away.

When she saw Xu Qingye with a cold expression again, she suddenly stopped in her tracks with a guilty conscience.

"Song Yuntang, I have something to tell you."

Song Yuntang knew very well why she came. Xu Qingye would be leaving for the capital in less than a month, and she didn't want to waste her time on Lin Zhaozhao.

"I have nothing to say to you."

When Lin Zhaozhao saw her walking towards the yard, she became anxious and asked directly.

"Did you report my husband's investigation?"

Song Yuntang paused and looked in the direction of Xu Qingye.

"You go inside first, I'll be right there."

Xu Qingye nodded slightly, winked in Xia Ning's direction, and went into the house first.

Seeing Xu Qingye protecting Song Yuntang like this, Lin Zhaozhao felt very sad.

They are both scholars, so why is Xu Qingye so good to Song Yuntang? He Yuanfei is thirteen years older than her and is remarried, so why can't he be nicer to her?

She is the daughter of a wealthy family.

Song Yuntang was just a peasant from a farming family.

Song Yuntang turned around and looked at her calmly, "Could it be that the person rumored to have been caned and punished for cheating in the Autumn Examination is He Yuanfei?"

There was hatred in Lin Zhaozhao's eyes, but she didn't dare to act presumptuously because she remembered Xu Qingye was in the yard.

"Stop pretending here. I can't think of anyone else who has a grudge against us except you. Why do you always have to target us? What good will it do you to report him? Just to suppress me? Song Yuntang, I don't owe you anything!"

This autumn examination made He Yuanfei lose all his dignity and face.

After he returned home, he started drinking and beating people when he was drunk. He not only beat her, but also the three children born to his ex-wife.

He also told her that his life was ruined anyway, and it didn't matter whether he climbed up the ladder of the Yuanwai Mansion or not.

She ran to the Lin residence to complain to her parents.

My father actually said that He Yuanfei had chosen this marriage herself, and now that she was married, there was no reason for a daughter of the Lin family to divorce, and there was no precedent for this.

She was also asked to serve her mother-in-law and husband diligently in the future, so that He Yuanfei could cheer up and continue to take the imperial examinations after fifteen years, or go into business.

Fifteen years, not fifteen days.

How many fifteen years can she have in her life?

She originally thought that He Yuanfei would pass the imperial examination this time, and she would be able to become a juren's wife, but who knew that the result would be like this?

Lin Hongshen's words at that time made her feel suffocated and desperate.

But her family members didn't support her, and she had no better choice now, so she could only stay in the He family for the time being.

Song Yuntang just thought what she said was funny.

"I'm targeting you? Did I let him cheat? As for whether you owe me anything, I think you should know better than anyone what happened with Huang Heyu before. Don't think I don't know. To be frank, I don't owe you anything, but you actually owe me your life."

The original owner died because she didn't want to become Huang Heyu's concubine, and Huang Heyu was instigated by Lin Zhaozhao. She was not unrelated to the original owner's death.

Lin Zhaozhao avoided the important issues.

"But he was clearly doing it very covertly. If no one hadn't reported it, the examiner wouldn't have noticed it at all!"

Song Yuntang crossed his arms across his chest.

"Cheating is cheating. This behavior is inherently unacceptable. Not to mention that I don't know who the informant is. If I knew, I would applaud him. But you actually came to me to accuse me. You are so shameless!"

If they hadn't provoked her, Lin Zhaozhao could have found a good family with the efforts of the Lin family.

You played a good hand of cards badly, so you can't blame others.

She can only blame herself for being stupid!

"you!"

For a moment, Lin Zhaozhao felt the blood rushing up.

She raised her hand and was about to hit Song Yuntang in the face, but saw Xia Ning, who had been prepared, move.

He threw a punch, as if worried that Lin Zhaozhao would stop fighting and kill someone. When he got close to her, his fist turned into a palm, knocking her to the ground and she lay motionless for a long time.

After a long time, Song Yuntang saw the person on the ground move, a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips, he turned and walked into the yard, asked Xia Ning to close the gate, and no longer paid attention to Lin Zhaozhao.

Lin Zhaozhao on the ground moved a little, then struggled to get up.

She glanced at the tightly closed gate in front of her and punched the ground in anger.

"Song Yuntang, you deserve to die! One day, I will kill you!"
