In response to the noise outside the courtyard, the archers on the roof stood up.

"Don't move, or you'll die!"

The archers raised their crossbows and aimed them at the courtyard.

The first scholar appeared at the main courtyard gate.

The scholar took a look at the situation in the courtyard and shouted, "There are nine strong men in the courtyard."

The scholar following behind was filled with righteous indignation, "Go in and protect Brother Lu's family!"

"What's the big deal about bullying a woman? Classmates, charge!"

Seeing these scholars were about to rush into the courtyard, Li Jinglan stood up.

Three maids carried a chair and escorted Li Jinglan into the main room.

Bang.

Two servants closed the door.

Li Jinglan pulled off the hairpins on her head and messed up her hair.

He put on a set of dirty clothes that had rolled on the ground and burst into tears.

The scholars had already rushed into the courtyard and pounced on Lu Xuande and others.

They waved their fists and hit the strong man: "What's the point of bullying a woman? Come at me!"

"I'm going to beat you to death today!"

The strong men wanted to resist, but then they heard the sound of bowstrings being tightened.

The archers above said in a cold voice: "Don't move, or your whole family will die!"

The strong men didn't dare to move.

More and more scholars rushed in and beat up these strong men with their fists.

Soon, several strong men were submerged.

For a moment the only sound that could be heard was the sound of fists hitting flesh.

There were also the screams of the strong men.

Lu Xuande, who was excluded by the crowd, was stunned.

He turned around and wanted to look for Li Jinglan.

But I only saw the closed door of the main room.

There were cries coming from inside the door.

Lu Xuande's body swayed and his mind was confused.

Got cheated!

He was tricked!

No wonder Li Jinglan was so calm and composed, it turned out that he had hired archers from the government office.

This is an archer!

Li Jinglan was actually invited?

And these scholars.

Some of them were his son’s classmates, who had come to his house for dinner before…

Thinking that what he did today was seen by his son’s classmates.

Lu Xuande almost vomited blood.

Several years of hard work, turned to dust in one day!

Everything was planned by Li Jinglan.

Could it be that Li Jinglan was the one who caused his mother to send someone to the capital to ask him to come back?

At this time.

Lu Bozhou, supported by Ning Xin and Wang Yongqing on both sides, stumbled into the yard.

"Madam! Where are you, madam?"

After Lu Bozhou entered the yard, he could only hear the sound of fists waving and curses everywhere.

There were only shadows swaying before my eyes, and I couldn't see anything else clearly.

Very anxious.

When the scholars in the courtyard saw that Lu Bozhou, the real boss, had arrived, they all stopped what they were doing.

"Brother Lu, we have helped you catch the thief."

Lu Bozhou bowed in the direction of the voice, and then bowed to all directions: "Thank you, brother, thank you to all my classmates and brothers! I am grateful, grateful."

"My classmate, what words of gratitude do you have to express?" The scholar waved his hand with pride on his face.

The students of the county school and the community school worked together to catch the thief, and this story became a good one if others spread it.

It would be nice if you could brag about it for the rest of your life!

"Have you ever seen my wife? Is she okay?" Lu Bozhou looked around.

A scholar looked around and only saw Lu Xuande standing in the courtyard. "I only saw your uncle."

The scholar was very angry and cursed, "I usually treated you as Lu Cunren's father and called you uncle, but I didn't expect you to commit murder and robbery and lock up Brother Lu for four years."

"Bah!" The scholar spat on the ground, "I can never coexist with this villain!"

"I can't stand with this thief!"

The other scholars spat.

The sound of saliva was louder than a slap in the face.

The slap made Lu Xuande dizzy and trembling all over.

"My wife is not here?" Lu Bozhou looked around but couldn't find Li Jinglan.

He directed all his anger at Lu Xuande: "Where did you lock my wife up?"

Thinking that Li Jinglan was very likely to be killed, Lu Bozhou wanted to pounce on Lu Xuande and kill him.

Yesterday, after receiving Li Jinglan's letter, Lu Bozhou felt that something must have happened at home.

Immediately call the head of the yamen runners to the Wang family for questioning.

The head of the yamen runners had just returned from Xiaotuo Temple and told Lu Bozhou that Lu Xuande was coming back.

Lu Bozhou immediately understood what Li Jinglan was going to do.

Li Jinglan is willing to take risks and confront Lu Xuande head-on.

Then a message was sent from home to Xiaotuo Temple to let everyone know what Lu Xuande had done.

He got the news too late.

Even if I rushed home, I couldn't do anything.

He and Wang Yongqing visited all the classmates and asked them to help him.

That's why so many scholars broke into the courtyard at the same time today.

but!

but!

Where is Li Jinglan?

Where is Li Jinglan?

"Where did you lock my wife up?" Lu Bozhou's voice trembled.

"Uncle, after my father and mother passed away, you imprisoned me and poisoned me, and locked my sister in the inner house as a hostage, so that I dared not resist."

"I can forgive all these! As long as you let my wife go."

The scholars felt uncomfortable when they saw Lu Bozhou's mournful expression and heard the pleading tone in his words.

"Brother Lu is truly a kindhearted man. His uncle imprisoned him for four years and poisoned him, yet he is willing to forgive him."

"The Master said, 'Repay evil with kindness. How should we repay kindness? We should send Lu Xuande to the authorities."

"Oh, they are uncle and nephew. A nephew is suing his uncle? This, this is not right."

"Brother Lu, how pitiful!"

There was a squeak.

The door to the main room opened.

Li Jinglan had her hair loose and was supported by two maids on her left and right.

Stumbled down the stairs.

"Husband!"

When Li Jinglan walked in front of Lu Bozhou, her body softened.

'Fainted.'

Lu Bozhou couldn't see clearly, he could only hear Li Jinglan's voice.

Just as he was pleasantly surprised, he heard the scholars exclaiming, "Oh, my sister-in-law fainted."

"Madam? Madam?" Lu Bozhou stretched out his hand, wanting to touch Li Jinglan.

But he touched nothing, only the air.

Wang Yongqing had tears in his eyes, "Bozhou, my sister-in-law is on the ground."

Lu Bozhou felt a heavy blow to his chest and squatted down and reached forward.

"Madam, madam?"

Groping forward.

Finally touched Li Jinglan.

He desperately held Li Jinglan in his arms and shook her.

Li Jinglan in his arms didn't react at all. Lu Bozhou was shocked and frightened, tears streaming down his face:

"My lady, I am Bozhou! Wake up, don't scare me!"

Lu Bozhou cried so sincerely that all the scholars around him were moved.

Everyone was wiping their tears and sighing.

"How pitiful! How pitiful!"

"My sister-in-law is covered in footprints and dust..."

"Her hairpins are loose, her hair is messy, and her face is covered with tear marks... She is so pitiful."

"My sister-in-law is Li Xiucai's eldest daughter, and it is sad that she has been wronged like this."

At this time.

Nanny Liu brought Lu Guanyu out from the back room, and Qinglu followed behind.

Seeing Li Jinglan falling into Lu Bozhou's arms, Lu Guanyu screamed in fright.

"Sister-in-law!?" Lu Guanyu rushed over, tears streaming down his face.

"Sister-in-law, wake up quickly, don't scare me."

Lu Guanyu called out several times, but Li Jinglan didn't respond.

Lu Guanyu was frightened and buried his head in Li Jinglan's arms, crying with his face red.

Madam Liu's eyes were also red: "Madam, you must be frightened."

"Husband, should we send the lady back to her room first?" Madam Liu suggested.

With so many men in the yard, Li Jinglan should really go back to the house.

Lu Bozhou nodded and said angrily: "Lock up Lu Xuande!"

Several scholars came forward, twisted Lu Xuande and locked him in a room.

Find a wooden stick and lock the door.

Li Jinglan was carried into the house by Nanny Liu.

It was not until she lay down on the bed that she slowly woke up.

When he opened his eyes, his face was filled with fear: "Don't let him into the house!"

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" Lu Bozhou stretched out his hand and gently held Li Jinglan's fingers.

"It's me! It's me."

After hearing Lu Bozhou's voice, Li Jinglan seemed to be relieved and cried softly:

"My dear, my uncle has led a few strong men into the yard. I, I'm scared..."

"Don't be afraid, I'm here! I won't let him hurt you." Lu Bozhou held Li Jinglan's hand tightly.

Li Jinglan sobbed softly again: "Today, thanks to Sister Liu who protected Guanyu and me, otherwise... Guanyu and I would have died."

Lu Bozhou comforted her softly, "I'm here, don't be afraid, no one will dare to hurt you anymore."

Lu Bozhou swore in his heart.

He must cooperate with Doctor Xiao Hu's diagnosis and treatment and must get his eyes cured as soon as possible.

Take the examination for scholar, the examination for juren, and the examination for jinshi.

Only in this way.

He can protect his family.

Lu Bozhou clenched Li Jinglan's fingers, "I swear, I will protect you. No one will hurt you again!"

Li Jinglan hummed softly and then turned sideways.

When he turned around, he met the eyes of a woman with whip marks all over her face.

Ning beauty?

Li Jinglan's expression was inevitably dazed.

Ningxin was also looking at Li Jinglan at this time. Seeing Li Jinglan in a daze, she thought that Li Jinglan was frightened by the whip marks on her face.

He turned his head away uncomfortably.

Li Jinglan coughed lightly to cover up: "I wonder who this sister is..."

Lu Bozhou hurriedly explained: "She is Ningxin, and she has been serving me since she was young."

Li Jinglan frowned, her heart in turmoil.

Ning Xin served Lu Bozhou, so Lu Bozhou gave her the title of beauty and showed her great favor.

Where are Lu Zhongyu and Lu Guanyu?

Li Jinglan said calmly, "Husband, I want to sit up, please let go of my hand."

"Oh? Okay." Lu Bozhou reluctantly let go of her hand.
