Chapter 20
"Nanny, let's go back! Don't let them worry." Yan Xing patted Zhe Yuan's hand, which was pinching his arm in pain.
After no response for a long time, Yan Xing looked at her dumbfounded and shouted, "Nanny..."
The lost Orihara came back to his senses and responded, "Oh oh oh!"
Zhe Yuan looked at Yan Xing with dull eyes, his thin body standing straight up stubbornly.
In just six months, the chubby cheeks have quickly lost weight, and the eye sockets have become sunken. The eyes can no longer see a trace of clarity and innocence, but are like black holes that cannot be seen to the end.
It wasn't just Yan Xing who lost her father or mother. The children no longer had smiles on their faces. They were so quiet overnight that they didn't dare to disturb her anymore, as if they didn't exist.
well……
Zheyuan was supported by Yan Xing and Laifu and returned to the yamen gate.
"Brother, when will mother be released?" Luo Xing approached him and asked anxiously.
"We have to... we have to wait for the magistrate to finish hearing the case." Yan Xing said with a trembling voice, "Quick... very quick! Let's get out of here first!" Looking at the people coming and going, he lowered his head and urged in embarrassment,
"Hurry up."
Zheyuan was supported by them and hurriedly left the Yamen Gate.

Bai Qingshan returned to Bai's house in a carriage and was greeted by the second young master Bai who was waiting at the door.
"Dad, you're back so soon." Young Master Bai stepped forward and helped Bai Qingshan out of the carriage, "You didn't even ask us to come to court."
"It's okay, that poisonous woman has no evidence, she is just unwilling to give up, and now she has given up." Bai Qingshan said viciously.
"I'm still afraid of the new prefect..."
Bai Qingshan interrupted him, "Let's talk in the room." He glared at his ignorant second son, is this the place to talk?
"I'm not too anxious." Young Master Bai shrank his neck and said, supporting Bai Qingshan up the stairs, "Isn't there no one here? This street belongs to our family."
"Be careful!" Bai Qingshan looked at him angrily and said.
Old Mrs. Bai ran over in a hurry and asked anxiously, "Master!"
"Go in and talk." Bai Qingshan looked at his old wife reassuringly and said, "I'm not back safely, I'm fine." Then he said, "Let's go to the study and talk."
The three heads of the Bai family went to the study together.
Second Young Master Bai asked anxiously, "Dad, what's going on in the courtroom!"
The old lady Bai who was sitting on the Grand Master's chair grabbed his arm and said, "Let your father take a breath. He is back safely." She pointed to the chair next to her and said, "Sit down!"
Bai Qingshan sat behind the desk and let out a long breath, picked up the tea cup and took two sips without caring.
The bitterness of the cold tea slid down his throat, which calmed Bai Qingshan's nervousness a lot.
"Don't worry, Ye Sanniang is just unwilling." Bai Qingshan put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at them with a long breath and said, "In the hall, I have already made her speechless by asking questions. Let's consider this situation.
It’s been a long time coming, and it’s been ready.”
He recounted the situation in the hall verbatim.
"This bitch is still determined to give up." Old Mrs. Bai cursed with a ferocious look on her face.
"As you say, no one wants to die! Ants are greedy for life." Second Young Master Bai muttered in a low voice.
Old Mrs. Bai slapped Master Bai on the back of the head, "If you want to piss me off to death, where do you stand?"
"Mom! Of course I stand with you, but this is human nature." Mr. Bai rubbed the back of his head and said. In fact, he didn't feel any pain. Mom is really old. Looking at her almost white hair
.
Alas...it only takes half a year to give away a man with white hair and a man with black hair. There is no greater tragedy in the world than this.
"What should we do now?" The old lady of the Bai family looked at her husband and asked, "Do you want me to warn that bitch Zhe Yuan?"
"No!" Mr. Bai objected immediately after hearing this.
"Why?" Old Mrs. Bai looked at him with her sparse eyebrows raised and said with a displeased look on her face.
"Our family is being watched now! We still don't know what kind of temper the new prefect has! Now that he has accepted Orituki's drumming and redressing his grievances, the case will definitely be re-examined. Now go and warn Oritō. Isn't this clear to the prefect?
Your Excellency, please give us the opportunity." Mr. Bai looked at them seriously and said, "In the coming days, we will all stay at home honestly in case the prefect comes to visit us at any time."
"Then there's no need to take care of the prefect, right?" Second Young Master Bai said cautiously.
"Of course, the situation is unclear now. Let's see the attitude of the prefect in the future! It won't end in one session." Mr. Bai looked at them with deep eyes like ink and said, "But we have to prepare this money in case of emergencies.
needs."
"Money?" Bai Ershao looked at him awkwardly and said, "Not that much?"
It is because the family is stretched thin and the family fortune is withering, otherwise they would not have the idea of dowry for the three younger siblings.
Sigh... If I had known it earlier, it would be too late to say anything now.
"Minato has to scrape together enough." Mrs. Bai looked at them with cloudy eyes and said, "Second mistress, please pawn some of the treasures in my warehouse."
"Mom, those are old things that are at the bottom of the box. That's all we have at home. I really want to pawn them." Second Young Master Bai said reluctantly.
"Okay, let's kill that bitch first, then we can make money." Mr. Bai gritted his teeth and said with a heartbeat.
Make more money! Second Young Master Bai rolled his eyes in his heart. If he had the ability to make money, the family business would not be ruined.
There is no need to worry about the dowry of the third brother and sister.
"You have to live up to your expectations. You have everything you need to pass the exam. The imperial court is newly established and it is time to employ people with integrity." Mr. Bai looked at the second young master of the Bai family with crazy eyes and said earnestly.
"It's dad, my son knows." Second Young Master Bai stood up and bowed his hands in salute.
"Then what are we pawning?" asked the old lady of the Bai family, looking at them, and then asked, "Should we pawn dead or alive?"
Mr. Bai, smash it, smash your mouth, I really can’t bear it! It’s more sad, why did you end up like this?
It took Master Bai a long time to get his bearings, and he said cruelly, "Fuck me to death!"
"Death?" Old Mrs. Bai said in a sudden voice, with deep reluctance! The goods in her hand are all rare treasures.
"Death! They are all dead things. If you don't bring them alive, you won't take them dead. What should you keep them for? Killing that bitch is the top priority." Mr. Bai looked at her with crazy eyes and said.
After hearing this, the second young master Bai shouted in his heart: What is a dead thing? What is a thing that is not brought alive or taken away after death? The second elder's family property will be his own in the end. Now that he is dead, how much can he leave for himself?
.
The dead are important, but we must also take care of the living! It’s hard to move forward without money!
Now that I am not in charge, no one will listen to me.
