Chapter 213 of "The Country Maiden: Fields and Leisure" starts with dramatic events: Chapter 987: Chapter 985 Judgment At this moment, talking to Wang Yongzhu about this matter, the... Discover what happens!

Chapter 987: Chapter 985 Judgment At this moment, talking to Wang Yongzhu about this matter, the expression on her face was still utterly incredulous. Wang Yongzhu almost spat out a mouthful of tea, forcing herself to swallow it back, causing herself to cough until tears came out. She really didn’t understand, how did the brains of the Tian Family grow? But then again, thanks must be given to Tian Sihai’s lack of wits. If he hadn’t been convinced that Shopkeeper Tian was having an affair with Lady Fang and caused a fuss, Zhang Qiuju and Tian Sihai wouldn’t have completely turned against Shopkeeper Tian, exposing all his deeds, and making him confess wouldn’t have been so easy. This truly is the manifest destiny, retribution is not unkind! Wang Yongzhu felt a burst of pleasure in her heart, the Tian Family has its day too! Now, everyone in the Tian Family is imprisoned, I wonder if they know the truth? If they do, their guts must be turning green with regret right now? Indeed, seeing the enemy living poorly makes one happy. After discussing the Tian Family matter, Wang Yongzhu saw Xiao Changchun relaxing a bit and then stood up, "Thank you, Brother Xiao. I think it’s about time, I estimate my master and martial uncle should be out, let’s go to the front yard and wait." Xiao Changchun, as if granted amnesty, stood up hastily. He was under no pressure seeing patients, but facing such a delicate young girl, he got a headache. He quickly stood up to lead the way, bringing Wang Yongzhu to the front hall. Just in time to see Imperial Doctor Du and Old Master Qin coming out of the consultation room together, Imperial Doctor Du looking displeased: "Well, you’re quite something, Qin the Unreliable, tricking me into seeing so many patients today. Let me tell you, these consultations aren’t free!" Old Master Qin whispered something softly, and Imperial Doctor Du’s expression slightly improved. Looking up, he saw Wang Yongzhu already waiting on the side, he waved his hand: "Alright, let’s go back!" With that, he turned and left. Wang Yongzhu had no choice but to bid farewell to Old Master Qin and followed Imperial Doctor Du out of Peace Clinic. After walking quite a distance, Imperial Doctor Du finally spoke: "Did you find out anything?" Wang Yongzhu... It turns out that her little scheme in her heart was entirely seen through by Imperial Doctor Du. But then a wave of indescribable warmth surged in her heart, this master, though sharp-tongued, was truly the best. She immediately tugged at Imperial Doctor Du’s sleeve: "Master, you’re the best master in the whole world! I suddenly feel that being able to become your apprentice is not only due to the virtue accumulated by my ancestors, but it must be because the ancestral tombs have emitted smoke, no no, they must have exploded, for me to have such good fortune!" Imperial Doctor Du stumbled, almost tripping over, this maid, the first two sentences were acceptable, but what was said later? Ancestral tomb exploded? He almost got so mad his head would explode. Rubbing his forehead, Imperial Doctor Du waved his hand: "You, a young girl, what are you talking about? Alright, it’s getting late, are you coming back with me for a meal or going home?" Wang Yongzhu hesitated for a moment, then confessed: "Master, I want to go see Shopkeeper Tian’s wife!" Yesterday, someone came back with the information that after Zhang Qiuju signed and sealed, she should have been sent back to her natal family or clan for detention. However, Zhang Qiuju’s natal family and clan are too far away, and in such a big case, there are not enough government officials to escort her back to her clan and natal family. And in the Tian Family, there is barely a living Lady Fang, no one to watch over her properly, and they fear that releasing her would lead to trouble. Therefore, Lv Wenguang had people send Lady Tian to Tian Wuhu’s place and instructed Tian Wuhu and his wife to strictly guard Zhang Qiuju, not allowing her to leave, lest they be charged with Tian Wuhu and his wife’s crime. Tian Wuhu and Lady Chen were inherently honest people, almost scared out of their wits, they didn’t even untie the ropes on Zhang Qiuju when the government official delivered her back. They just let Zhang Qiuju sit in the chair while the couple kept alternating to guard her without breaking their gaze. She wanted to take this opportunity, while Tian Wuhu and Lady Chen had no chance to inquire outside, and they were unaware of this information, Zhang Qiuju naturally wouldn’t know either, to go ahead and use Zhang Qiuju’s hatred towards Shopkeeper Tian to pry out the details from years ago, hopefully concerning the Golden Leaf. Imperial Doctor Du halted: "Nonsense! Now that the case isn’t closed yet, why are you trying to get mixed up? The Tian Family is crucial now, involving the Huang Family and the Loo Family too, are you trying to get implicated? What I told you this morning, did you not listen at all?" Wang Yongzhu drooped her head, alright, she didn’t think it through: "Master, I know I was wrong, I won’t go!" Imperial Doctor Du was right as well, the Tian Family no longer had a chance to turn the situation around, Zhang Qiuju had nowhere to go. As long as she stayed at Tian Wuhu’s place, there’d be plenty of opportunities in the future, albeit a bit troublesome, no need to take risks. Seeing Wang Yongzhu so compliant, Imperial Doctor Du nodded in satisfaction, took a few steps, hesitated, took a few more, finally couldn’t hold back, turned around: "Why did you want to see Shopkeeper Tian’s wife?" Wang Yongzhu roughly explained, Imperial Doctor Du frowned and then said: "I’ll have someone talk to the County Magistrate, let him seal off this information, no one is allowed to inform her. Once the case is concluded, you see her, then perhaps coerce her words." Wang Yongzhu quickly nodded: "Thank you, Master! You are truly the best! Rest assured, all your tea leaves for the rest of your life are taken care of by your apprentice! "This tender apprentice-master bond, can only be repaid with tea leaves! Imperial Doctor Du nodded contently, waving his hand: "Alright, go home, tell your mother this news, let her wait patiently for a few more days." In the end, Wang Yongzhu escorted Imperial Doctor Du back home before returning to her own. Returning home, the first thing she did was inform Old Granny Zhang of Xiao Changchun’s diagnosis result. Someone as experienced and knowledgeable as Old Granny Zhang was momentarily stunned upon hearing it. After a long pause, she fiercely said: "Serves them right!" ※※※ A few days later, this case that had shaken Jing County finally came to an end. Everything became clear. The real culprits behind the Huang Family massacre from over a decade ago were Shopkeeper Tian and Loo Zhiyi. The Tian and Loo Families were both confiscated, and the properties, originally belonging to the Huang Family, later bought cheaply by Shopkeeper Tian including manors, gardens, and woodlands, were all returned to the Huang Family. As for the Loo Family’s properties, half were confiscated and the other half returned to the Huang Family. With the Rouge Shop case and this case concluded, of Shopkeeper Tian’s family, except for Tian Wuhu and Lady Chen, they were sentenced to be executed awaiting approval, waiting for the case files to be submitted to the three judicial departments for the autumn review, finally to be approved by the Emperor before execution. Tian Sihai was sentenced to two years in prison, Zhang Qiuju was kept at Tian Wuhu’s home, with almost no chance of going out for the rest of her life. The Tian family’s properties, except for retaining one residence, vanished overnight. Hearing this verdict, Lady Fang’s natal family cursed and forced Tian Sihai to write a divorce letter, then rushed to the Tian home, wrapping the still bedridden Lady Fang in a sleeping mat, dragging her back. Her sister-in-law and brother ransacked all the gold and silver in Lady Fang’s room before stopping. Within a month, they sold Lady Fang to a widower in the countryside, but that’s another story.
