Villain, be good! I'm here to give birth to a baby [Quick Wear]

"After the accident, he did not go to the government to make trouble immediately. He just reported that there was a thief in his house and asked the government to help investigate. But at that time, everyone was busy dealing with the snowstorm and had no time to care about him, so the people under him just said a few perfunctory words and let him go back."

"So the thief was never caught. He couldn't survive any longer, so he explained the situation to the government and tried to get relief, but was rejected because the people under him knew they didn't have any extra money to save people, so they simply refused him and told him to ask his relatives and friends for some clothes and money to get through the winter."

"But no one was willing to help him. He was really too ordinary, so ordinary that only after he died did someone speak up for him. I also learned that a kind man froze to death this winter."

Yang Li was very calm when he talked about this. His gray eyes looked indifferently at the homeless beggars on the street, as if he sighed.

"When good people are not rewarded, no one is willing to stand up and be a good person."

"We cannot force people to sacrifice themselves for others, and we cannot ask them to be good people. There is nothing wrong with being selfish, but people's hearts should not become like this, especially in such a natural disaster. We must find ways to inspire the kindness in their hearts and let them know that doing good deeds is a very fulfilling thing."

"Instead of ending up with no one caring about them, they have to wait until they die before someone remembers their kindness and sighs over them after dinner."

We have arrived at the inn.

Yang Li had finished speaking.

Lin Qingyan followed him upstairs and walked into a room. There was warm hot tea in the room. She poured a cup for Yang Li.

Yang Li also poured her a cup and said, "You are a smart person. I can't hide it from you, so I don't want to keep hiding it from you. I guess you have found out a lot of information while I was away, right?"

Lin Qingyan felt a little embarrassed about being discovered, and she lowered her head.

[Not much actually, I just asked around a bit.]

Yang Li slightly curved her eyes and said, "Can you tell me about your discovery? I'm curious about what else you know now. How about that as a reward for what I just told you?"

Lin Qingyan took a sip of tea and then used sign language to express her guess.

[I heard the innkeeper downstairs tell a story about the guqin. There was an honest official in Yezhou who had to sell his ancestral guqin because his wife was seriously ill... and the description of the guqin was exactly the same as the one I saw in the eunuch palace.]

[So I was wondering, did you help that honest official buy the guqin? Because I don't think you would rob others of their things. I can feel what kind of person you are when I get along with you.]

Yang Li suddenly asked: "So what kind of person do you think I am?"

Lin Qingyan paused, thought about it seriously, and then said: [He is a clean person. ]

Just like her first impression of him, very clean.

Hearing this answer, Yang Li smiled.

Lin Qingyan hesitated for a moment before continuing:

【What about you? What kind of person do you think I am? 】

Yang Li was stunned by the question.

He lowered his gray eyes and said, "He is a nosy person."

When he said this, his tone faded a little.

Lin Qingyan lowered her hands and head in disappointment, so she didn't notice Yang Li's hesitation to speak.

He had more to say, but he didn't continue.

But Lin Qingyan soon cheered up. She knew that Yang Li had nothing good to say. "Minding other people's business" was better than "being annoying". Since she followed the words in the letter to save him, how could she be discouraged by this?

So she gestured: [You are right, I am indeed nosy, but I will definitely take care of your business. ]

[If you insist on asking me why I should mind your business, then just think of me as someone sent by God to mind your business.]

[Just like you said before, 'The plum blossom is destined to live in winter and is also destined not to live in spring', I am also destined to come to you, even if you hate me I will come. ]

Yang Li didn't expect that she would use her own words as an example. After a moment of silence, he said, "Yes."

After a while, he added: "Actually, I don't hate you."

After that, he had nothing more to say.

People with sharp tongues seem so tongue-tied at this moment.

Lin Qingyan couldn't tell what he meant exactly, but she thought it was something good, but he was not good at expressing it.

So she changed the topic.

[Lord Yang Li, I am actually very curious whether the honest official died in the end, and where his family went? ]

[I think you didn't kill him, and let him and his family go somewhere else to live in hiding, right? ]

Even though she already had a guess in her mind and was sure that it was 80% true, she still couldn't make a conclusion so directly.

Yang Li nodded and confirmed her words: "He is indeed not dead. In fact, the result is similar to your guess. I did not kill him. I let him reunite with his family. The piano was left to me before he left."

He originally didn't want to accept it, but the other party had already packed up and left, so he didn't go back.

"I don't know where he and his family went to live. I just gave him some travel expenses so that he could survive."

"Because even though he made a mistake, his crime was not punishable by death. Unfortunately, the law is dead. It is true that he did embezzle the disaster relief money, and he cannot wash it away."

"According to the laws of the Xia Dynasty, anyone found guilty of embezzling disaster relief funds will be sentenced to death."

No matter how arrogant Yang Li was, he could not go against the laws that had been passed down from the Xia Dynasty for so many years, so he could only sigh.

"It's just that in the end, he is just a poor man who was forced into a desperate situation. In fact, the disaster relief money sent to Yezhou was often embezzled by these officials. Some were more, some were less, and by the time he got it, half of it was gone."

"He was an honest man, never corrupt, and often used his family's possessions to help the people. That's why his life became increasingly difficult, and later his wife became seriously ill and didn't even have money to buy medicine."

"No one is taking care of the child. The price of his guqin is kept very low. The merchants who are willing to buy it for such a high-quality material are only willing to pay 20 taels of silver. This may not even be enough to cure his wife's illness, not to mention that he has to raise a child."

"He couldn't help it. He just couldn't bear to watch his wife, who had been with him for so many years, die like this, so he moved the disaster relief money. He wasn't an experienced person, and he wasn't experienced in doing such a shameful thing, so he was naturally caught."

In fact, the man didn't greedily take much, but unfortunately, that was disaster relief money, which he couldn't be greedy for at all.

But at that time, all he could embezzle was the disaster relief money sent by the imperial court. There was nothing more lucrative in Yezhou than this.

Lin Qingyan understood and realized that the man loved his wife too much. It was wrong to say something wrong, but it was difficult not to make mistakes.

If he really watched his wife, who had shared hardships with him, pass away, then he would be too cold-blooded...

She said: [But why do you have to do it this way? What good will it do you if the world misunderstands you so much?]
