Eating gossip is always an enjoyable pasti, whether it’s about family ethics, shrew quarrels, or boudoir anecdotes. Anyway, the gossip-hungry crowd can never have enough of it.
And the Li family’s gossip is endless; as soon as one scandal subsides, another arises, truly eye-opening!
Long Yue doesn’t care about outsiders’ opinions, but she’s concerned about A Qiu’s health, even though it’s spring now, the weather is still very cold. Kneeling on the ground for even a mont could be fatal. The kid used to be scared of the cold, and now he’s like this...
Unwilling to see this, Long Yue sighed, "A Qiu, get up. Actually, Third Sister-in-law won’t really keep your mother in there forever."
No matter what, Mrs. Li Zhou is Li Qingmu’s foster mother. If she truly dies in the cell, it won’t be good for Li Qingmu’s reputation either.
Reliving this life, Long Yue treats her husband like treasure; no matter how annoyed she feels, she won’t joke about his future. Besides, Mrs. Li Zhou has been in the jail for over half a month now, hasn’t she suffered enough?
A Qiu pleaded so earnestly it’s hard to refuse. If that’s the case, it’s better to speak nicely.
Just as expected, Wang Zhihuan, the village chief who hadn’t left, nodded satisfactorily upon hearing this, "This Young Madam Qin is indeed a person of character—what a good person. It’s just a pity the Li family’s old woman is so clueless! Such fine son and daughter-in-law treated like weeds; what on earth is her brain filled with? Pig offal?"
Pig offal... pig brain... When others hear this, Mrs. Li Zhou might not have the face to see anyone again.
A Qiu unknowingly tried to help but ended up putting his mother in trouble once more. Hearing Long Yue’s words, he happily stood up and hugged Long Yue’s waist, "Third Sister-in-law is great, Third Sister-in-law is really great, boohoo, thank you, Third Sister-in-law!"
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Li Qingmu thought this kid was asking for a beating, actually hugging his wife. Didn’t he know n and won should keep their distance?
"A Qiu!" He coughed; when the kid remained still, he said in a deep voice, "Mind your image!"
His image was indeed questionable, and what Li Qingmu said wasn’t wrong. A Qiu wiped away his tears and gave a simple, honest smile.
Li Qingmu couldn’t bear it and looked away coldly, "Stop crying. Later, I’ll go with Yue’er to the governnt office to see if we can get her out."
"Boohoo, okay, thank you, Third Brother..."
A Qiu blinked through his tears; Li Qingmu wanted to say sothing but ultimately remained silent.
"What Mrs. Li Zhou did this ti was really wicked, but you young couple have such magnanimity. Truly people who’ve accomplished great things! A Qiu!" Wang Zhihuan said solemnly with hands behind his back, "If your mother gets out, rember to tell her if she commits such wicked deeds again, the village won’t tolerate her!"
The village chief put his foot down, and the villagers imdiately chid in. A Qiu nodded quickly like a pestle, "Mr. Li Zheng, don’t worry, I will convey your words!"
And so, the matter was settled.
Now the sky gradually darkened, Long Yue gave Wang Zhihuan a look, and he understood imdiately, inviting her to sit inside.
At the Wang Family residence, Long Yue got straight to the point, taking out a bag of seeds and a manual.
"Mr. Li Zheng, this is a thank-you gift. We’re grateful for your help last ti, especially for taking the risk to testify for us. This gesture cannot repay such kindness; it is just a small token, not worthy of much."
Long Yue directly gave these seeds as a thank-you gift to Wang Zhihuan, which impressed him with her skill.
Others would turn it into bribery, but she gave direct thanks... Such that refusing would be embarrassing...
Yang Family felt delighted imdiately, eyeing the bag of seeds and the little booklet eagerly, giving hopeful glances to her husband.
Wang Zhihuan waved his hand, signaling she could take it away, Yang Family cheerfully agreed and quickly took it.
"Stay for dinner?"
"Alright!"
Since they ca to express gratitude, having a al was normal, Long Yue accepted without formality.
Once everything was settled, it was already dark.
"Visit the Chai Family another day!"
Today, many people ca to collect seeds, but so hadn’t co, including Chai Family. Why hadn’t Chai Tieniu co?
She thought of Qiao’er, contemplating her focused deanor while doing embroidery, considering whether to bring her into her embroidery workshop.
It’s not a great idea to just let the embroiderer she personally trained fend for herself.
"I’ll visit the governnt office tomorrow."
"I’ll go with you; there are so words I need to speak to her."
"Alright!"
The next day, they went to the governnt office, and County Magistrate Zhang Bingwen warmly received them.
No choice; he actually didn’t want to bother, but his official cap was precariously balancing, making him extrely anxious. From his political senses, Lord Cai seed to be here specifically backing them up, so upon seeing the Long Yue couple, he beca even more accommodating.
If they weren’t treated well and turned against him, there would be no ti to cry.
The Long Yue couple ignored his petty concerns and directly stated they wanted to visit the prison.
Victors visiting the failures in prison happened frequently, Zhang Bingwen was habituated to it, even instructing his subordinates that prison visits must incur a certain fee—a small benefit. However, he dared not pull any trick with Long Yue’s side and led them in.
Once inside, Long Yue used the excuse of wanting to talk to Mrs. Li Zhou alone to "invite" Zhang Bingwen out. He initially intended to enjoy so gossip, but failed to do so, leaving him utterly disappointed.
"Mrs. Pang! You poisonous woman, you mare, you venomous woman, you will die a miserable death!!!"
A piercingly sharp voice ca from a cell, raising the hair on one’s neck, but Long Yue simply turned a deaf ear.
"Poisonous woman! You have ruined , caused to beco neither human nor ghost. Even as a ghost, I won’t spare you; you will die a miserable death, hahaha!"
"Poisonous woman, don’t leave; co back! You’re here to see my wretched state, aren’t you? You just want to gloat before , don’t you? Why pretend to be noble, you shaless creature! To be honest, I’m living well here; they all indulge , hahaha..."
"Shut up!"
Annoyed by the noise, Long Yue turned and shouted coldly.
She looked at the back of the cell at the woman, disheveled and barely clothed, with disdain on her face.
"Zhou Zhiqin, you ended up like this, don’t you realize why? If you hadn’t repeatedly tried to harm , you wouldn’t have such a miserable outco. It’s all your own cheap behavior, you brought it upon yourself, and now you bla ? Who gave you the nerve?!"
"Pang Longyue, yes! Precisely! It’s my own cheap behavior, my own doing; I bla myself for not being ruthless enough, not as ruthless as you! Your wickedness is unparalleled, your poison unmatched, I hate it! If I had been half as malicious as you, I wouldn’t be like this! Haha, all because I’m too soft-hearted, too kind, haha, I should have directly poisoned you to death!!!"
"Poison ?" Long Yue seed to hear the world’s funniest joke and suddenly burst into laughter, "Haha, Zhou Zhiqin, you want to poison ? With what?"
