Originally he didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but because Grandma Zhuo's crimes were so intolerable, Cui Weizhen had to step in and meddle in this nosy matter.
There was no one at the post station, so the messenger obviously couldn't do it. Cui Weizhen wrote a letter, stamped it with Bo Jing Ning's private seal, and then asked Zhou Wu to send it to the magistrate of Maocheng County.
Maocheng is a county on the edge of Mingzhou Prefecture. Although Cui Weizhen has not officially taken office yet and has not inherited the official seal of Mingzhou Magistrate, he is already the legitimate Magistrate of Mingzhou. After reading his private seal, the Maocheng County Magistrate
Never dare to be perfunctory.
After writing the letter, Cui Weizhen still had to meet with the staff at the inn to deal with the subsequent troubles. Ye Zhenzhen also had to deal with the troubles.
Aunt Zhuo and Zhang Yichen were arrested, but it was difficult to deal with the girls who had been signed by Aunt Zhuo. Logically speaking, they could just be released, but their situations were obviously special.
Ye Zhenzhen did not make a decision blindly, but asked their opinions considerately: "Now Aunt Zhuo has become a suspect, and if nothing unexpected happens, she will be brought to justice in the future. Although you have signed the deed of betrayal, I can give her to you now."
You are free. What do you think now?"
The first person to speak was the girl who sold herself to treat her father's illness. She asked hurriedly: "Madam, can the daughter of the people return home? My father is ill in bed, and the daughter of the people cares about him every day. She wants to go home and fulfill her filial piety.
In front of the hospital bed, I still hope that my wife will come true."
Although her father and brother sold her body for money, this poor girl had no grudge in her heart and still wanted to go home and serve her father. I don't know whether it's sad or deplorable.
This time I was lucky enough to meet her meddling, but what about next time? If she is sold again next time, I don’t know what the fate of this girl will be.
It could only save her for a while, but it could not save her forever. When they met by chance, Ye Zhenzhen was not willing to point fingers at her life, so she nodded lightly: "Okay, you can just go with me all the way tomorrow."
This opening seemed to turn on a certain switch, and other girls asked to go home one after another. Ye Zhenzhen was not surprised by this. After all, women nowadays really have nowhere to go except at home.
Only Xu Hui was different. She bowed deeply to Ye Zhenzhen: "Madam, civilian girls have a bad reputation now. Their father is resentful and their stepmother is unkind. Even if they go back, there will be no place for them. There is no need to go back and ask for trouble."
.The daughter of the common people wants to go to Yu County to join her grandfather’s family and find a place to stay.”
Yu County is a neighboring county of Maocheng, so it will be passable tomorrow.
Ye Zhenzhen nodded: "Okay, you guys have a good rest tonight and set off again tomorrow."
"Thanks to Madam for rescuing me, I am very grateful to the common people. A common woman has little power and little ability to repay you in this life. In the future, if Madam is assigned to do anything, she will do anything she can."
At this time, Ye Zhenzhen did not know that she would interact with Xu Hui in the future, so she only regarded her as a passer-by and did not take her words to heart.
However, giving a rose leaves a lingering fragrance in your hands. It is still pleasant to receive heartfelt thanks from the recipients. At least the work of the couple was not in vain.
After instructing Yuxiu to arrange the accommodation for Xu Hui and others, Ye Zhenzhen went to take a look at Cui Weizhen and found that he was still busy. She was embarrassed to disturb him again, so she paced towards the wing.
Aunt Cui was puzzled that they hadn't returned yet. After listening to Ye Zhenzhen's story, she couldn't help but feel sympathy, especially for Xu Hui's experience.
She patted Ye Zhenzhen's hand and said: "You are doing the right thing. If you are poor, you can be good to yourself; if you are rich, you can help the world." Do as much as you have the ability. If you are indifferent to the evil in the world, you will not care about the misery in the world.
If you turn a deaf ear, what is the meaning of this life?"
Only a mother with a high level of consciousness like Cui Auntie could raise a good official like Cui Weizhen who is dedicated to the livelihood of the people.
Ye Zhenzhen sighed: "It's a pity that I am weak and have only a few people who can save me."
Moreover... in such a civilized society, she may not be able to be saved.
"Just do your best and have a clear conscience."
This short sentence suddenly had a magical effect like turning the clouds and seeing the moon. The melancholy that Ye Zhenzhen felt because of Xu Hui and others instantly dissipated, and she soon felt relieved.
Do your best and have a clear conscience.
This has always been her belief, but as she sees more suffering, she inevitably feels confused. At this time, timely guidance becomes very important.
Ye Zhenzhen sat down next to Aunt Cui and said shamelessly, "It is said that if a family has an elder, it is like having a treasure. Mom, you are really my life mentor."
"Go, go, stop teasing me."
Aunt Cui has long been immune to her sweet words. After hearing this flattery, she felt no fluctuation in her heart. She even felt a little bored: "You are the mother of two children, and you still love to act coquettishly. I am not as clingy as you in the end."
Ye Zhenzhen looked innocent: "Although I am already a child, I am still a baby. Mom, you have to love me."
Aunt Cui shuddered.
There was also a sound of coughing outside, and Ye Zhenzhen turned around to look, and saw Cui Weizhen's expression that was speechless.
Ye Zhenzhen: "..."
"Aren't you busy? Why are you back so soon?"
I came back early, otherwise I wouldn't have heard this speech.
The corner of Cui Weizhen's mouth twitched, but he very wisely did not tell the truth, but smiled and said: "I just finished my work, it's late, it's time for dinner, mother, Zhen'er, what do you want to eat?"
It was another method of changing the subject. Although it seemed a little stiff, Ye Zhenzhen, who was in embarrassment, cooperated very well and said quickly: "There is nothing delicious in this remote country, so just eat whatever you can. I have been eating game these past few days, and I am almost exhausted."
Tired of eating."
Aunt Cui quietly watched the couple going back and forth, not bothering to reveal anything. In the end, she couldn't bear the disturbance of the light bulb and silently walked back to the cubicle to amuse her granddaughter.
She is old and can't bear to see this.
Ye Zhenzhen realized later, when she thought about going to see her daughter, she realized that Aunt Cui had already gone to the inner room. She coughed a little embarrassedly and glared at Cui Weizhen: "You didn't even remind me, why did you take care of my mother?"
I was left out."
Cui Weizhen: "...It's my fault."
Anyway, no matter whether you are right or not, actively admitting your mistakes is the best way.
Ye Zhenzhen glared at him: "Ignore you, I'll go see mother and Xin Ning."
Cui Weizhen also followed in.
Cui Zhiduan and Cui Zhiming were also inside. The two brothers had hoods on their heads. One was a big tiger and the other was a little white rabbit. They were grinning and teasing their sister.
Xinning was laughed out loud by her brothers. She kept waving her little hands and reached out to grab the long ears of the little white rabbit. She laughed even louder.
Regardless of whether the child understood it or not, Aunt Cui and Ye Zhenzhen started to praise it to the extent that others would blush.
But Cui Weizhen couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, with satisfaction on his face.
