In the big house in the backyard, Liang Shi sat at the square table, Hong Xier sat opposite him, Wang Qi filled the teapot with water and put it at the table for two, and then sat behind Lu Tangyi.

"Miss Ruan left the inn yesterday and returned home."

Liang Shi drooped his head as if his soul had been sucked out after hearing this, and Hong Xier couldn't help sympathizing with him when he saw his desperation: "Why are you looking for Miss Ruan? Tell me and we can help you find a solution."

Liang Shi took a deep breath, and when he raised his head again, the circles of his eyes were red: "Shopkeeper Hong, I really can't help it."

"Don't worry, tell me in detail."

It turned out that that day Fu Butou escorted Li Zhu and others back to the county government to be punished. Li Zhu naturally refused to give in easily, and bluntly said why Liang Shi didn't have to be punished. .Fu catcher was annoyed by him, so he sent someone to call Liang Shi together to be tortured together.

Needless to say, a beating was given. Among them, whoever received the punishment was light and who received the heavy punishment. Take the daughter-in-law home.

"I have suffered the beating and the crime. Mrs. Sun is the daughter-in-law I am marrying. With the marriage certificate as proof, you can't detain her like this!"

This matter is difficult to deal with, Li Zhu is also Sun Pingniang's husband no matter how messed up, and based on that incident, his wife was still arrested in pairs, even if Li Zhu really put Sun Pingniang and Liang Shi in the pool at that time, and came back later If there is no proof of death, even their government cannot convict Li Zhu.

"I'm in the Yamen's office, I need to report this matter to Mr. Ruan."

-

Hong Xier: "Mrs. Sun and him went back?"

Liang Shi shook his head: "Master Ruan is benevolent, he sent someone to the back hall to inquire and told Pingniang that she hadn't recovered yet, but Li Zhu insisted on taking her home to live, and his gang of brothers started arguing all over again. Come on, Lord Ruan has no choice but to let him come back in half a month, tomorrow is the day when Li Zhu will take Pingniang away."

Li Zhu is Pingniang's husband, and no one can stop her from being taken away. Hong Xi'er didn't know what to do for a while, so she heard Liang Shi continue: "I know that the eldest lady is recuperating here, so I have no choice but to come to the inn." I wanted to see the eldest lady and let her make decisions for me, but I never thought it would be a step too late." He couldn't help covering his face and sobbing in a low voice, Hong Xi'er couldn't bear it: "Pingniang is still Mrs. Li for a day, no one can do it. The only way to intervene in this matter is to find Miss Ruan, but it won't help." After thinking for a while, she looked at the person behind her: "What if you give Li Zhu a sum of money to divorce his wife?"

Lu Tangyi, who had been silent all this time, sighed at this moment: "We've all met Li Zhu before. Giving him money once might make him fall for him, and Mrs. Sun didn't do anything wrong. Why did you let him sleep? Do you want to sleep? It's time for her to divorce the butcher, or at least make up with her."

Hong Xi'er was helpless, thinking that Lai Tang's family protected people too well, but she didn't know that the world was not as good as she thought, "Where did the common people's family come to be reconciled, Mrs. Sun..." At this point she suddenly froze, Lu Seeing that she didn't speak, Tang seemed to think of something, and asked, "What's wrong with Mrs. Sun?"

Hong Xi'er looked at her, and Fang suppressed her doubts: "Miss Sun is not the daughter of a famous noble family, and it is impossible for her family to reconcile because of her weak status."

Liang Shi hugged his head in pain: "Ms. Ping can't stay in Li's house anymore. I know her well. She is really going to die. That beast Li Zhu can't change."

Seeing this, the three couldn't help but felt pity, but this matter was really difficult, no matter what, it was a family matter, and they were not Sun Pingniang's natal family, so what could they do?Several people thought for a long time, and Lu Tang hesitated: "Master Ruan, can't we make a peace?"

"This is a family matter, Master Ruan doesn't say much about it, and I have never heard of a county magistrate who would take care of the issue of reconciliation between husband and wife."

Wang Qi: "Is there no other way?"

Turning the Qingluo fan a few times in her hand, Hong Xier had an idea: "I have an idea." Said the fan pointing at Lu Tangyi, "It's just that I need someone to help."

In the middle of the afternoon in summer, although the sun is not as scorching as at noon, it is still hot and dry.Lang Yuanyi stood at the entrance of the Ruan Mansion and took a deep breath. Behind him, Lu Tangyi switched the food box from his left hand to his right: "Is this okay?"

Hong Xier's fan didn't stop all the way, it's really not suitable to go out today, it's too hot, "I'll come here if you want, if you can't, I'll visit Miss Ruan, it's not like I haven't been here before."

Looking back at the two of them, Lang Yuanyi really didn't want to take this trip. If Hong Sanniang hadn't begged in person, and it was such a good deed to help, it was really hard to refuse. How could she come to this place where she usually has no time to hide.

Lu Tangyi naturally knew Yuan Yi's worry, but there was really no reason to refuse, so he could only comfort him: "Sister, play by ear."

Yuan Yi looked at her and could only nod helplessly, and Hong Xier took a moment to realize that the reason for their hesitation must be that the heat made him feel confused, "Forget about this, Qiniang, don't worry, we only saw Miss Ruan, the people in the back house have never meddled with the affairs of the front hall, if there is anything else, I would be left alone."

"Ah."

The three of them stepped forward, and the concierge was still the servant from last time. Seeing the person coming, they greeted, "Is shopkeeper Hong looking for Steward Zhao?"

"That's right. Didn't the young lady live in our store for a while a while ago? We came to visit her today and brought some food that she likes. Please let me know."

It sounded like he was looking for his own lady, and the boy looked at the three of them. He had heard that the eldest lady went outside to recover from her injuries. Did she go to the Huanxi Inn?

"You have to wait a moment, I have to go in and report."

"It's work."

The three of them waited outside for a short while, when the young servant hurried over: "Miss has an invitation, please come here."

Hong Xier and Lu Tang glanced at each other, this time it was faster than seeing Butler Zhao for the first time.When they entered the Ruan Mansion, Hong Xi'er looked at Lang Yuanyi without any trace, and saw that although she was looking around, there was obviously no surprise in her eyes, on the contrary, she seemed to be observing and pondering.

The three of them walked to the end of the corridor and saw Qiulan waiting there. The servant bowed and left when he saw her.

The smile on Qiulan's face hasn't gone down since the moment she saw a few people, she took two quick steps and approached: "Mr. Lu."

"Miss Qiulan." As soon as Lu Tang greeted them with an awkward yet polite smile, Qiulan saluted the other two: "Ms. Yuan, shopkeeper Hong, this way please."

The few people walked for a while and came to Yijing Garden. Qiulan made a gesture of invitation: "Miss is waiting for you inside."

The garden is not small, and it is full of various flowers and rare treasures. Only after walking around a wall of flowers, people saw Ruan Shuyue drinking tea at the stone table.

"You guys are here." It could be seen that Ruan Shuyue was very happy to see them, and she was much more cheerful than when they first met.

"Miss Shuyue, we wanted to visit you, by the way, here is a new snack for you to try."

After Hong Xier finished speaking, Lu Tang delivered the snack box, Qiulan took it and opened it in front of her lady, "It looks delicious, come and sit down."

As soon as the three of them sat down, a group of maidservants came forward, each holding a teacup, "This is iced sour plum soup just made, it's very hot, you should cool off first."

"Thank you, miss, it's really hot today." Several people were not polite, chatting with Ruan Shuyue while drinking soup.

Lang Yuanyi didn't say a word since entering the door, and every time Ruan Shuyue glanced at her, she either lowered her head to drink tea, or occasionally looked at the scenery in the garden.

"Miss Yuan likes the flowers and trees here?"

The person who was called paused, then nodded hesitantly. She couldn't say that she was looking at the layout of the mansion just in case.

"I'll take you around in a while, just in time for the Meridian lotus to bloom, and the scenery in the pond is very nice."

Yuan Yi nodded, glanced at Hong Xier, let's quickly get to the point: "Miss Ruan, actually I have something to discuss with you today."

Ruan Shuyue was puzzled, what was she discussing with herself?Hong Xier hurriedly answered, "I have something to do, and I want to ask Miss Shu Yue for help?"

"Is the inn in trouble?"

"No." Hong Xier shook her head: "Do you still remember the shopkeeper Liang Shi and Sun Pingniang?"

Ruan Shuyue nodded, she was very angry at that time, and it was not easy to forget.

Hong Xi'er sighed, and told about Liang Shi's finding the inn to ask for help. Ruan Shuyue couldn't help sighing when she heard it: "Oh, Li Zhu is really hateful, but the current law is really not good at forcing people to divorce their wives."

Lang Yuanyi frowned, it was the law again, if he didn't come to the folks, he really wouldn't know that this law has so many times for good people to suffer.

"Of course you can't force your wife to divorce, but you can make an agreement with him for three chapters."

"Chapter three of the contract?"

"Although Sun Pingniang is Li Zhu's wife, she is also a living person. There is no law in which a husband can beat, scold and humiliate his wife at will without any reason. As long as Li Zhu signs a guarantee when he picks her up, he promises that he will never beat and scold at will. If Sun Pingniang violates the authority of the government and leaves, then Sun Pingniang's life can be saved."

After Ruan Shuyue listened quietly, she raised the teacup in her hand: "So, you want me to go to my father for help and let Li Zhu sign this certificate?"

Hong Xi'er glanced at Lu Tangyi, "Miss, that day I went to Li Zhu's house to ask for the bill, and he still kept swearing every day when he was drunk. If Mrs. Sun goes back, it will be a disaster."

Ruan Shuyue frowned, she was also outside the court that day, and she knew what kind of character the Li family butcher was, but she had to think carefully about involving her father.

Lang Yuanyi saw that she seemed to be hesitant. She knew that Ruan Shuyue didn't seem like she would ignore such injustice when she got along with her these days. The fact that Mr. Ruan has helped Mrs. Sun once in the courtroom is the best proof. If Mrs. Sun is sent back like this and another life is caused, Mr. Ruan’s official reputation may be affected. It’s not as good as this time. Asking Li Zhu to sign the letter of guarantee means that the county government will not care about the lives of the people, and it is also a talisman for Mrs. Sun, so that she can have hope of living in the future."

After Yuan Yi finished speaking, Hong Xi'er couldn't help but look at her, but said everything to the point quietly, it seems that this little cousin, A Tang, has some skills.Sure enough, Ruan Shuyue's expression on the other side changed, and her eyes were full of approval. Fortunately, Yuan Qiniang reminded her that if Sun Pingniang really sent her back like this, her father would be in trouble.

"Okay, I will tell my father that this guarantee must be signed by Li Zhu."

Yuan Yi gave her a slight nod as a signal, and Lu Tangyi and Hong Xier thanked Mrs. Ruan and Miss Ruan on behalf of Mrs. Sun.

Ruan Shuyue smiled, looking at the eyes of the people drinking tea by themselves, the eyes of this Yuan Qiniang became more and more interesting.
