The wife of a powerful minister?Don't worry, I'll take back my destiny first

Sang Huai soon came back with a dish, which was a whole half of venison.

Ye Xi's eyes lit up when he saw it: "Sang Huai, where did you get the venison?"

Sang Huai said with a smile: "On the way to the vegetable market, I met a man who had hunted a deer and was preparing to sell it in a restaurant. I paid a high price to get half of it from the restaurant owner."

"Yeah, not bad. It's also a good thing to entertain guests." Ye Xi looked at the venison with satisfaction, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to stew some of it in soup, braise some in braised meat, and grill some of it.

Sang Huai and Sang Lu helped Ye Xi, and they quickly cut the venison.

Ni Chen followed Sang Tian to the county government office, where Xiao Tai was already interrogating Zhao.

Ni Chen raised his eyes and could only see the adult's butt. He pulled Sang Tian anxiously and said, "I can't see. You can think of a way."

Sang Tian twitched the corner of his mouth, holding Ni Chen's hand and letting him ride on his neck. Sang Tian was already tall, and there was no one as tall as Ni Chen sitting on Sang Tian's shoulders.

He looked at Zhao kneeling on the ground in the courtroom. Although he confessed to what he had done, he was also making excuses.

"Sir, the common people didn't mean to steal their things." Ms. Zhao raised her eyes and looked at the three plaintiffs opposite, with a look of resentment on her face: "My son's legs were broken. When he returned to the academy, they said they would be responsible for us. It’s the living expenses of mother and son.”

"But the day after my son and I arrived at the academy, they cut off our mother and son's money." Thinking of those hard days, Mrs. Zhao couldn't stop crying: "Sir, you don't know, my son and I were in the academy , I had one meal but no next meal.”

"Dong Yuzhi and others, as my son's classmates and friends, not only did not help me, but they also looked at us mother and son coldly."

"My son is the best scholar in Nanshan Academy. Dean Shangguan said that he is the number one scholar. When my son was not injured, who in the academy would not fawn over him."

"It was only after my son was injured that we knew each other. My classmates in the academy immediately changed their faces after learning that my son was injured."

"They -" Ms. Zhao suddenly raised her finger and pointed at Dong Yuzhi, Yue Ping and Wang Xiuchun: "They clearly said they were responsible for our mother and son's life in the academy, but they didn't keep their words."

"They didn't give me the money, so of course I went to get it myself."

"Sir, I didn't steal at all. I just took back the living expenses they promised. How can I count it as stealing?"

Zhao's nonsense really made some people sympathize with her.

"Dong Xiucai, Yue Xiucai, Wang Xiucai, this is what you are doing wrong." A commoner onlookers said: "They all say that a gentleman always keeps his word. Since you promised to give living expenses to Ding Xiucai, his mother and his son, why did you go back on your word and refuse to give it? What’s up?”

"If you don't keep your word, what kind of scholar can you be?"

"If you don't give people living expenses, what will happen to them? Why do you accuse them of stealing? Isn't this costing the lives of their orphans and widows?"

"Bah~" Xiao Tai knocked on the tree, and the people immediately fell silent, and no one dared to say another word.

Xiao Tai looked at Zhao with a serious look. He was so eloquent, no wonder he deceived Ye Xi in the past: "Dong Xiucai, is what Zhao said true?" "Master Qi." Dong Yuzhi stepped forward and said, Bowed and saluted: "When Mrs. Zhao took the injured Ding Zhongwen back to the academy, all our classmates raised eight hundred and sixty-seven taels of silver for him to buy the bone-renewing pill in Ling Xiaozi's hand. And I donated it. One hundred and twenty taels, Yue Ping donated fifty taels, and Wang Xiuchun donated twenty-five taels."

"Other students in the academy range from dozens of taels to three or four taels. Although the amounts vary, they are the maximum amount we can afford."

"On that day, we also arranged for Wang Xiuchun and Li Xiucai's book boys to take care of Ding Zhongwen and his son." Dong Yuzhi said this with a mocking smile on his face: "At that time, all our students spent all their savings, leaving only A few days’ worth of food.”

"But do you know how Zhao did it?" Wang Xiuchun pointed at Zhao and sneered: "I only had one hundred pence left in order to raise money for Ding Zhongwen's medicine."

"Zhao is just a villain. Seeing us sending people to serve their mother and son, she treated ourselves as a master and ordered our book boy unceremoniously." Wang Xiuchun sneered: "The book boy can only take care of the seriously injured Ding Zhongwen. Zhao She actually asked our book boy to rub her feet and wash her clothes."

"She also asked my book boy to buy her big fish and meat, and she would scold her if the food was not good. I gave her my rations that day, but I was still hungry. Haha, she didn't like the vegetable and lean meat porridge and lean meat porridge in the academy. The white-flour steamed buns are too shabby, so I scolded my book boy."

"Li Xiucai's book boy and I were so angry at her scolding that we no longer wanted to serve their mother and son."

Dong Yuzhi took over and said: "Later, I personally went out and bought rice and meat soup for their mother and son, and also left my own book boy to take care of them."

"But Mrs. Zhao asked my bookboy to go to Hongfuji to buy cakes for her to eat. Everyone should know that the pastries at Hongfuji cost at least one tael of silver each. I didn't have the money to buy them myself, so the bookboy gave them to her in the academy. She got a pastry.”

"But while Mrs. Zhao was eating the cake, she realized that it was not from Hongfu Ji, so she cursed my book boy and cursed me and my book boy."

After Dong Yuzhi finished speaking, she looked at the onlookers who were fighting for the Zhao family, and mocked: "If you think that these people are ungrateful, we will continue to give money to their mother and son. Then, please be responsible for the pick-up of their mother and son." Pay the fee!"

The onlookers curled their lips when they heard this: "Why do we pay for them? Do I have too much money?"

"Quiet!" Xiao Tai slapped the alarm again: "Zhao, the students of Nanshan Academy have already spent all their money to treat your son's leg. They are not your sons, nor are they Ding Zhongwen's relatives. They are not I am responsible for the living expenses of your mother and child."

"Taking it without telling you is considered theft. Zhao stole twenty-five taels of cash, a silver note of fifty taels, a jade pendant worth eighty taels, and a silver bracelet worth twenty-five taels, a total of one hundred and eighty taels." Twelve."

"Because she stole too much, she was punished by going to the border to mine for three months!"

When Zhao heard that she was being punished to go mining, she collapsed on the ground.

"My lord! My lord! The students have something to say!" Ding Zhongwen, who was hiding behind the crowd, did not expect that Zhao would be sentenced in the end. He knew that Zhao's bad deeds would affect his future, so he shouted quickly.

Xiao Tai glanced in the direction of Ding Zhongwen. The crowd of onlookers dispersed, and a student pushed Ding Zhongwen forward in a wheelchair.

Ding Zhongwen sat in a wheelchair and leaned towards Xiao Tai: "Student Ding Zhongwen, hello to your lord!"

There was no expression on Xiao Tai's face. He raised his hand and said, "Ding Zhongwen, if you have something to say, please tell me."
