Chapter 196 Xu Yu
"Wang Qing!"
Zhu Yue panicked and interrupted Manager Wang loudly.
"How dare you! Someone, tie up Zhu Yue and gag her. If she dares to disturb the court again, she will be beaten with ten sticks first."
Magistrate Ge shouted loudly, and the constable next to him immediately did as he was told.
After a while, Zhu Yue no longer looked the same as when she first came in. Her hair was disheveled, her eyes were bulging, and she was covered in dust after struggling desperately.
At first glance, she looks like a crazy woman.
"Wang Qing, please continue."
Wang Qing looked at Zhu Yue quietly and put forward his request.
"Sir, this is all my fault. It has nothing to do with anyone else. The silver that the master lost is all with me. It's just that the goods in the cargo hold were taken away. I don't know why they were taken away."
"There are some things I want to tell you, Master. I hope you will allow me to do so."
Magistrate Ge hesitated. The doctor said Xu Wansheng couldn't stand any more stimulation.
"My Lord, I am recovered now."
Chen Zhizhao supported Xu Wansheng and came over. The two of them were resting on the side and would be here soon.
Xu Wansheng could be said to be the most unlucky guy. Even County Magistrate Ge felt sympathy for him and had someone move a stool for Xu Wansheng to sit on.
"Master, I admit all my crimes, but Lian'er is innocent. She really doesn't know anything. Please spare her life."
Wang Qing said to Xu Wansheng, Xu Wansheng closed his eyes and sighed, and nodded after a long time.
"After all, you have called me dad for 16 years. Don't worry, as long as you tell me the whereabouts of the silver, I won't blame you, Lian'er."
Wang Qing nodded gratefully and looked up at Magistrate Ge for confirmation.
"Sir, you heard me. The master said he would not pursue Lian'er."
County Magistrate Ge shook his head slightly, looked at the determined Wang Qing, and nodded.
"allow."
Wang Qing smiled with relief.
"The silver is in Lian'er's bag, 12 taels in total. The rest of the silver is with Ayue."
Zhu Yue stopped struggling all of a sudden and closed her eyes and cried.
"Lian'er, you are a big kid now. You have to take good care of yourself and live a good life in the future."
With tears in his eyes, Wang Qing looked at Xu Lian'er as if he was giving his last words.
Last words?
Su He rushed forward, stuffed Wang Qing's mouth with his fist, and then knocked him to the ground.
"My Lord, he is going to hang himself."
A quarter of an hour later, Su He looked at Wang Qing, who was tied up like a dumpling and had his mouth stuffed, and smiled with satisfaction. Fortunately, she was smart.
Xu Lian'er shook her head palely. In such a huge court, there was no one she could rely on.
"Sir, Xu Yu is here."
"Let her in."
Xu Wansheng's eyes lit up and he stared at the door.
A woman wearing a bright red Shu brocade cloak walked in. Except for her eyes, nose and mouth, everything else was wrapped tightly.
"My humble daughter Xu Yu pays respect to you, sir."
"Get up."
Chen Zhizhao hurried to support his wife. Before he left, she was still lying in bed recuperating after giving birth. If there was no other choice, he would not have the heart to let her come.
"Dad, I am an unfilial daughter. I am sorry for causing you trouble."
Xu Yu walked towards Xu Wansheng with tears in her eyes. Xu Wansheng looked at his most beloved eldest daughter and also burst into tears.
"Don't talk nonsense. It's Dad's fault for not letting you rest peacefully during the confinement period. It's over now. Dad's money will be returned soon. Go back and lie down quickly. Don't get caught in the wind."
Xu Yu looked at his father who had aged ten years in an instant, and felt so angry that his teeth were itching.
"Dad, I know everything. I am your only child. I can't just stand by and watch someone bully you."
Xu Yu took the handkerchief given by Chen Zhizhao and wiped her tears, then turned around and sneered at Zhu Yue.
"Sir, I heard that Wang Qing has confessed. I wonder if my father's silver has been found?"
Magistrate Ge ordered the constables nearby, "Bring up everything you found."
The constable came up with a large tray with a thick stack of silver bills on it.
Chen Zhizhao took it and handed it to Xu Yu. Xu Yu did not count it himself, but turned around and handed the tray to Xu Wansheng, "Dad, you count it."
Xu Wansheng nodded slightly, looked at them one by one, and confirmed them in a short while.
"Yes, it's all here, but the things in the cargo hold are gone."
Xu Wansheng felt heartbroken because those were things he had spent a long time collecting for his precious grandson.
"Dad, it's a good thing that we have recovered half of it now. Things are just objects. If they are gone, they are gone. I just want you to be well. Your daughter has already lost her mother, but she can't lose her father too."
Looking at his tearful daughter, Xu Wansheng nodded quickly, "Yu Niang, don't cry. I will take care of you in peace in the future. I will buy a yard near the Chen residence and live there. I will accompany you and my grandson in the future."
The conversation between the father and daughter moved everyone present. Su He originally thought that this was the ending, but after Xu Yu settled his old father, he turned around and stared at Zhu Yue.
"I heard that Aunt Zhu is looking for her indenture contract. She searched through my father's luggage but couldn't find it."
Zhu Yue took out a piece of paper from her sleeve and waved it at Zhu Yue who was looking at her.
"If Aunt Zhu wanted it, just tell her earlier. Why bother with so much effort? As long as I'm here, you'll be a slave trampled on until you die. You'll never be able to turn over a new leaf in your life."
Zhu Yue howled angrily and struggled desperately.
Xu Yu turned his gaze to Wang Qing again, "Manager Wang, do you think Zhu Yue had no choice but to sell herself? Hahaha, Zhu Yue was bought by my mother. My mother is gone, but my wet nurse is still alive. She told me everything. When she was bought, my wet nurse told her family that she was bought to serve my father. She didn't have the slightest reluctance. What's the meaning of having no choice? Didn't she come into the mansion in a sedan chair that day? It was my father who felt that Zhu Yue was still young and didn't want her to serve him at first. But guess what? She took the initiative to come."
Xu Yu looked at the pale-faced Manager Wang and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
"This Miss Su is right. This Zhu Yue is a vain and greedy woman who wants to be a virtuous woman even though she is a whore. What do you mean she can't help herself? Pah! What a lowly rotten thing."
Xu Yu's aura reached 1.8 meters at this moment, and Su He just stood aside and watched the show silently.
"Yu Niang, there is no need to mention this matter anymore. Don't get angry over this kind of person. We all listen to Master Ge."
Xu Wansheng was not begging for mercy for this kind of woman, he just wanted it to be over quickly so that his daughter could go back and rest earlier.
"Sir, I was so excited that I lost my temper. Please forgive me."
Xu Yu understood what his father meant and knelt down to beg Magistrate Ge for forgiveness.
"Well, half of Xu Wansheng's lost silver has been recovered, and you will not pursue the goods in the cargo hold?"
Xu Wansheng replied respectfully, "Sir, I won't pursue this matter any further."
Magistrate Ge nodded and said, "Wang Hongyun, I order you to compensate Xu Wansheng 2000 taels of silver. Do you accept this?"
Wang Hongyuan had no objection. Compared with two hundred thousand taels, two thousand taels was really a small matter. He would just consider the trip as a waste.
"The young ones all listen to the adults."
After saying this, Wang Hongyuan took out two thousand taels of silver and gave it to Xu Wansheng on the spot.
The lawsuit between Hongyun Trading Company and Xu Wansheng is over.
