The daily routine of the mistress of the Hou family training her husband

Chapter 116 Rescue
"Father-in-law has three sons and one daughter, but his heart is biased. My husband has been filial to you and stepmother for many years, and he is also friendly to his brothers. But now he has ended up like this. It is really heartbreaking!"

Xu Shuhe said coldly, his eyes sweeping over the two of them.

"Now that you have done this, I am not afraid of a broken net. After all, I am alone, and together with my husband, we only have two lives. In exchange for your whole family becoming rats crossing the street, my fourth brother's years of hard study will be wasted. It is worth it!"

Having said that, he raised his eyes and stared at Chen Huaiqian.

"Father, do you really want to destroy Fourth Brother's future and the last fig leaf of the Chen family just to protect Mother-in-law, a murderer, and Second Brother, a good-for-nothing? I am not a heartless person. If we both take a step back, even if we separate our family in the future, my husband and I will still be filial to you."

Hearing this, Chen Huaiqian nodded quickly and looked at Chen Xun.

"Fourth Brother, you should apologize to your third sister-in-law as soon as possible. We should do as your third sister-in-law says. I believe you have a say with the county magistrate. They just want money. Dad will give it to you. You have studied hard for so many years. You must not ruin your reputation and affect your future career!"

"Dad!" Chen Xun growled irritably.

He naturally had other ideas in mind, although they were a little more difficult, they could still be done. However, Chen Huaiqian was frightened by Xu Shuhe and lost his composure. Now that he was talking all the time, it would be difficult for him to do anything else.

He can have a say with the county magistrate, but those words are unfavorable to Chen Zhi. Wouldn't it be difficult for him to go back on his word now?
Between offending the county magistrate and offending Xu Shuhe, he naturally chose the latter.

"Fourth brother, please think carefully. County Magistrate Huang is not someone worth relying on. In the future, when the tree falls, the monkeys will scatter. Not only will you get nothing, but you will also be implicated." Xu Shuhe said lightly.

After saying this, Chen Xun's heart skipped a beat.

When he raised his eyes, he saw that Xu Shuhe's eyes were calm, as if he was fully confident that he could bring down County Magistrate Huang.

At this moment, Chen Xun was finally afraid.

What if, what if Xu Shuhe really has some means to bring down County Magistrate Huang, he will indeed suffer a great loss.

He didn't dare to gamble anymore. After all, he had discovered these days that Xu Shu and this woman were very troublesome, with endless tricks, and were not easy to deal with at all.

He still understands the principle of not suffering a loss in front of him.

After weighing it in his mind, he finally lowered his head and said, "Please forgive me, Third Sister-in-law."

Little did he know that Chen Xun's surrender also made Xu Shuhe feel relieved.

After all, no one wants to continue to be entangled in a fierce battle.

The temporary handshake between the two sides can be regarded as a united front against the outside world.

Xu Shuhe learned from Chen Xun that County Magistrate Huang was investigating Chen Zhi's mistakes in taxation and wanted to use this to convict him, so he immediately decided to speed up the process and take action.

But the speed of this process is not something she can completely decide. After giving away the useful things in her hands, the people who receive them have to put them to use immediately.

During the one or two days of waiting, County Magistrate Huang, whether fabricating something or nitpicking, found several mistakes of Chen Zhi in the accounts and wanted to convict him.

Of course Chen Zhi refused to admit it, but he suffered some physical pain and was beaten with a stick.

When Xu Shuhe got the news, he became even more anxious.

Fortunately, she didn't have to wait too long. Two days later, someone from the higher authorities came and passed down the order that County Magistrate Huang be temporarily dismissed and investigated.

County Magistrate Huang was completely dumbfounded, he didn't know when he had been framed. All his past crimes of corruption and deception were exposed. No matter how he protested, the evidence was solid and he was quickly taken to jail to await his fate.

Bao Kui, who used to bully others by taking advantage of his power, was also arrested by the officials from above.

As a result, all the unjust, false and wrong cases under County Magistrate Huang had to be re-examined, and the past ones would not be mentioned for the time being. The wronged people who were still alive in prison would naturally be dealt with first. Xu Shuhe was also preparing to make arrangements to get Chen Zhi out as soon as possible, but he didn't expect that Chen Zhi was the first batch to be released, and was sent back by the government.

"Thank you very much, sir. I'm bothering you to come here in person. This is a small gift from me. I hope you will accept it. It's cold, so take your brothers to have some tea to warm yourself up." Xu Shuhe entertained the officials who came to the mansion to send someone off.

The official was actually polite, "It's all what we should do, young lady, there's no need to be polite."

Having said this, he whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "In the capital, the Fifth Prince has already known about this matter. Madam, don't worry, there will be no trouble in the future."

Your Highness the Fifth Prince, this means that the Fifth Prince Zhao Yu has resigned, which is Xu Shuhe’s trump card.

She didn't expect that the other party already knew about it before she even used this last layer of relationship.

After careful consideration, it is estimated that the person competing with County Magistrate Huang for promotion should be under the command of the Fifth Prince. This is quite a coincidence.

With this news, Xu Shuhe felt more at ease. "Your Highness, I will always remember your kindness and do my best for you in the future!"

The officer nodded slightly, exchanged a few more words of greeting, and then prepared to take his men away.

At this time, Chen Huaiqian next to him couldn't help but step forward and said, "Sir, please tell me, when will my second son and second daughter-in-law be back?"

"The one who was not released must have other reasons. Just wait." The officer said calmly and left immediately.

Chen Huaiqian didn't even ask Feng. After all, Feng had already been convicted of hiring someone to kill someone, and he had already given up on rescuing him.

Compared with his wife, he was more unwilling for his son, who was going to enter the officialdom in the future, to have a mother with a stigma around him, as this might become a stumbling block for Chen Xun in the future.

Chen Xun also tacitly agreed to give up Feng's approach.

Compared with his father Chen Huaiqian, he is even more selfish and hypocritical.

Xu Shuhe was too lazy to stay with the father and son any longer, so he immediately ordered people to carry Chen Zhi back to his own yard.

He suffered some torture in prison and his wounds were not treated. The environment inside was cold and damp. Even though Chen Zhi was young and in good health, he had a high fever due to inflammation of his wounds and was now unconscious.

Xu Shuhe was very nervous. After all, medical resources were backward in this era, and fever or infection could take a person's life.

So after the doctor examined Chen Zhi's injuries, she did not dare to fall asleep. She stayed by the bed and used a towel to wipe Chen Zhi's body to cool him down. It was not until the second half of the night that she breathed a sigh of relief when she felt that Chen Zhi's body was no longer hot. She sat on the bed and took a nap.

At daybreak, Chen Zhi woke up and found himself at home. He immediately wanted to get up.

However, he was injured after being beaten with a stick and was sleeping on his stomach. When he moved, he felt pain all over. When he turned around, he saw Xu Shuhe sleeping on the side of the bed. He was slightly stunned.

No matter how dumb he was, he could see that the other party had been guarding him all night without lying down to rest.

I hadn't seen him for many days and I was already missing him. Seeing Xu Shuhe in this situation, my heart was touched and a warmth rose up all over my body, followed by heartache.

He immediately reached out and gently held Xu Shuhe's hand.

Xu Shuhe was awakened, and when he saw Chen Zhi woke up, his eyes immediately lit up.

"you're awake!"

"Yeah." Chen Zhi nodded, and then said distressedly, "Your hands are so cold. It's so cold today. You'll freeze to death if you stay here. That's stupid."
