Chapter 37: Framing and taking the blame (1)

In the utility room in the backyard of Zhenbao Pavilion, there was an unpleasant musty smell everywhere. Bu Shiren waved his hand in disgust and looked at Mo Qingze with a calculating face, the greed in his eyes undisguised.

"How is it? Have you thought about it? I still say the same thing, as long as you hand over the money that Greedy Mo has, I will let you go home immediately, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

Mo Qingze had been tortured all morning. At this time, he was leaning against the wall listlessly. After listening to Bu Shiren's words, he opened his bruised eyes and stared at Bu Shiren coldly, then closed his eyes as if seeing filth. , I only regret that I was blind and believed in the greedy and shameless villain in front of me, so I got myself into this situation.

Haha, he can't accept this kind of crime even if it means death!

When Bu Shiren saw his expression, his face suddenly became distorted. He waved his hand, and two accomplices rushed up and punched and kicked Mo Qingze.

"Well…"

Mo Qingze gritted his teeth, holding back the pain all over his body, not letting himself make a sound. Do you want him to bow his head? These people don't deserve it!

Seeing this, Bu Shiren raised his foot and stepped heavily on Mo Qingze's ankle, crushing it again and again. Seeing the pain on Mo Qingze's face, he couldn't help feeling happy.

"Hmph, let's see how long you can last without shedding tears before seeing the coffin! Before dawn tomorrow, if you still don't plead guilty, go to the Yamen and enjoy yourself. Not only will you have to spit out the two hundred taels of silver, but your reputation as a scholar will also be lost. Don’t try to keep it!”

After making the vicious threat, Bu Shiren spat, no longer looked at Mo Qingze who was lying on the ground, waved his hand and led the two thugs out of the utility room.

 When everything became quiet, Mo Qingze opened his eyes, struggled to sit up, and leaned against the cold wall. Thinking of Bu Shiren's greed and threats, he secretly made the worst plan. If it really came to that point... he could only prove his innocence by dying, which would only cause suffering for his three children.

Thinking of his eldest daughter who could support the whole family, he couldn't help but smile with relief on his face. He knew that his daughter had a secret. Although he didn't know what it was, he was worried that this secret would bring disaster to her, but now he suddenly felt very happy. , if she really can't escape this time, at least Yan'er can still take care of a pair of children.

 …

Li Yan put the cooked food on the table and felt very sad when she saw Xin'er and Zhen'er, sister and brother, sitting dumbly and silently. She walked over and held their hands and persuaded them: "Xin'er Son, Zhen'er, don't be sad! My grandfather and your sister are discussing ways. They will definitely be able to rescue uncle. Can you come over to eat first? After you eat and sleep, uncle will be back!"

At this time, the two children were like lost lambs, with uneasiness and fear surrounding them tightly. Li Yan's words undoubtedly gave them great comfort.

Xin'er grabbed Li Yan's hand tightly and asked eagerly: "Sister Yanzi, my father will definitely come back, right? He won't leave us alone, right?"

Zhen'er also looked at her with wide eyes, full of hope.

 Li Yan nodded affirmatively: "Uncle must be fine. You are so obedient, how could he be willing to abandon you? Come and eat quickly, otherwise he will be angry when he comes back."

Upon hearing this, Xin'er and Zhen'er nodded repeatedly. Without waiting for Li Yan's further persuasion, they sat at the table and ate the rice with big mouthfuls, but didn't know how to pick up the vegetables.

Looking at the siblings like this, Li Yan couldn't help but think of herself when her parents died tragically. She couldn't help but moisten her eyes. She quickly wiped away her tears and picked up chopsticks to pick up food for the siblings.

After the siblings finished eating, Li Yan asked them to go back to the small room to sleep first. She went to the big room. When she saw that the door was still closed, there were faint voices inside. Knowing that her grandfather and Sister Yan were still discussing, she walked away quietly. .
