Divorced by her husband's family and rejected by her own! She defiantly turned her life around

Liu Mama smiled and bowed. Since Madam values ​​Lady Liu's life-saving grace so much, she, as a servant, must help her mistress relieve her worries. "Lady Liu is kind-hearted and truly rare. This old servant admires her and will report back to Madam now."

"Madam Liu, please don't refuse. If you don't let my lady repay your kindness, wouldn't that make her seem ungrateful? If people find out, how will my lady and young lady face anyone in the future? It will also affect the young lady's marriage prospects."

Liu Siyue was having a dramatic moment in her mind. These women in ancient times really knew how to manipulate people. If she didn't agree to meet again in the future, she would be burdened with a lot of sins.

If she wants to develop in the future, how can she do it without a powerful backer or strong partners? Since they've already put the ladder under her feet, it would be ungrateful not to climb it.

Besides, if I need to do business in Lingshui County or go to the prefectural city, I will have to rely on the county magistrate. It's time to meet him and find out his background, and whether he is really as good as his name suggests.

"Since the nanny has said so, if I don't agree, I would truly be impolite and ungrateful."

"Please convey my regards to Madam and Miss through the old woman. I will pay Madam a visit as soon as the case is resolved."

"That's very good. When you come, Madam Liu, please come through the back gate of the county government office. I will make the arrangements in advance. When you arrive, Madam Liu can simply give her your name."

Liu Siyue nodded with a smile, and only went to her room after watching the old woman get into the carriage and leave.

Granny Liu was in a good mood after accomplishing her task. She really thought highly of Lady Liu. This woman was not simple. She did not curry favor with the powerful or seek wealth. Could it be that she was truly kind or had great ambitions, as Lady Liu had said?

Upon learning the identity of the old woman, the innkeepers became even more respectful to Liu Siyue and her nephew.

When Granny Liu returned to the mansion, she immediately went to see the Madam, who was surely waiting for her reply! She entered the reception hall and saw the master and his family all there. "This old servant greets the master, madam, young lady, and young master."

The county magistrate's wife, Wang Yalan, told her to get up, "Have you received Lady Liu yet?"

"Reporting to Madam, this old servant has successfully completed the mission and has seen Lady Liu. However, she has not yet been brought back. Nevertheless, she has promised to personally come to pay her respects to Madam once the lawsuit is resolved."

Wang Yalan then remembered the letter Huichuntang had sent her, which mentioned that Lady Liu wanted to file a lawsuit. She looked at Magistrate Su Yimin and asked, "Sir, did you receive the lawyer's petition today?"

"Received. It's Liu Dawang, a villager from Liujia Village, suing a group of people from Liujia Village for robbing, injuring, and stealing. One of them is still unconscious, and two others almost lost their lives because of this."

I truly never imagined that Liujia Village would produce so many troublemakers. They broke the law, and instead of punishing them, the village chief and clan elders blamed the aggrieved party for not being magnanimous enough. As the village leaders, they couldn't distinguish right from wrong and condoned the villagers' crimes. It seems these village chiefs need to be taught a good lesson.

"Master, Liu Dawang is Liu Niangzi's second uncle. I heard from the manager of Huichuntang that Liu Niangzi lives with her second uncle's family. Master, you must avenge Liu Niangzi."

"Yes, Father, you must help Lady Liu," said Miss Su Manzhi.

"You don't need to worry. I've read the indictment. The Liu family has done nothing wrong. It was all those ignorant troublemakers who committed the crime. I will definitely enforce the law impartially and will not let them off lightly."

"I will send my constables to Liujia Village to arrest the suspects first thing tomorrow morning. There are quite a few criminals involved, so this case is not easy to handle. I need to think about it carefully."

"Sir, you mustn't make a mistake! Those troublemakers might be thinking they can get away with it because of the sheer number of them!"

"Of course I know. I need a foolproof plan that can both intimidate the villagers and take care of the elderly and children. Do you want me to lock them all up in jail? Jail isn't that great, and the county government doesn't have enough manpower to take care of their food, drink, and toilet needs. Besides, the county government can't afford to support them."

"As long as you have a plan, that's good. As long as you can get justice for Lady Liu, that's all that matters. I'm just afraid of hurting my benefactor's feelings."

"Don't worry, Madam, I will never let Lady Liu suffer any loss." With that, Su Yimin picked up his teacup and took a sip.

Wang Yalan looked at Granny Liu, "Granny, you've been gone for so long, did something happen?"

"Reporting to Madam, when I went there, Lady Liu was neither at the clinic nor at the inn. I thought that Madam had been wanting to see Lady Liu, so I decided to wait at the inn. But I waited until dinner time before Lady Liu returned." Granny Liu then recounted her encounter with Liu Siyue. Wang Yalan and the magistrate looked at Granny Liu in surprise. "Are you saying that Lady Liu didn't want to see me?"

"Yes, Madam. Lady Liu insisted on not seeing you. She offered the prescription only because of your good reputation, and because you are kind and compassionate. She couldn't bear to see you and Miss suffer from illness. She didn't ask for anything in return."

He also said that this was a special opportunity for the lady and her daughter, and he would be content if the lady and her daughter were in good health.

Lady Liu resolutely refused to see Madam, and it was only through the efforts of this old servant, who invoked the reputations of Madam and Miss, that she was granted permission. I beg Madam and Miss to punish her.

"You did a good job, why are you being punished?"

"Now that you mention it, Lady Liu certainly has extraordinary qualities, unlike ordinary women, and she has a kind heart. I wonder why she lives with Second Uncle's family. Granny Liu, please send someone to inquire about Lady Liu."

"This old servant obeys."

Liu Siyue went upstairs and knocked on Liu Dawang's door. She stood at the door without going in. "Second Uncle, you've had a long day. You rest at the inn. I'm going to check on Mother."

"It's so late, it's not safe on the streets. How about I go with you, or we can go tomorrow?"

"It's alright, all the shops on the street have their lights on, I'll definitely be back before curfew."

Liu Siyue left the inn and headed straight for the Yun residence. The journey by carriage was not so far, but the walk to the residence was quite a distance. As soon as she arrived at the gate, she knocked, and the door opened. "Madam, I knew it was you." Qingwu greeted her with a smile and welcomed her inside.

"Oh, how did you know it was me?"

"I saw it from over the wall a long time ago."

"Madam, why didn't you let Qingye come along? It's tiring to walk back. I'll massage your legs for you later."

Liu Siyue smiled faintly, "I'll grant your request, but you'd better hold back, or you'll break your wife's bones!"

"Madam, what are you saying? Don't let my usual carefree attitude fool you; I'm actually quite meticulous despite my rough exterior."

As they talked, they arrived at the main courtyard. The light next to her room was on, so they went straight in. Qingye was massaging Madam Feng's body. When they saw Liu Siyue return, they quickly greeted her, "Madam, you're back."

Ningxiang hurriedly said, "Madam, it was my own idea to have Qingye massage the old lady. The old lady has been lying down for a long time, which has poor blood circulation and is not conducive to her recovery. Please don't blame Qingye."

I also saw that someone in my previous family had the same problem; the doctor advised daily massage to improve blood circulation and aid recovery.

"You did a great job, you were more thoughtful than I thought. I'm so happy for you, how could I blame you? Give each of you two taels of silver."

"Thank you for the reward, Madam."

"Qingye, these days you will stay in the manor to take care of the old lady, pick up and drop off Doctor Li from Huichuntang, and teach Ruyu martial arts when you have nothing else to do."

"Yes, madam."

"Ruyu, would you be willing?"

"Cousin, I'm willing." If she had martial arts skills, her mother wouldn't get hurt, and her father and older sister wouldn't be beaten. She secretly resolved to learn well and never be bullied by outsiders again.

"Qingwu, you'll stay by my side these next few days and run errands for me."

Qingwu beamed with joy, "Yes, Madam."

"Alright, you can all leave now. I want to talk to Mother alone." Everyone left, except for Ruyu, who remained in the room.

"Ruyu, you go out first too."

Ru Yu obediently withdrew, closed the door, and waited quietly outside.
