Chapter 230 Dare to Resist (Part [-])
"Then let me ask if your company commander told you how Ye Sanniang persuaded him?" Mrs. Lu said as she looked at him with curved willow eyebrows.

"I said it." Master Lu looked at her hesitantly and said, "It just doesn't sound very convincing."

"That's enough." Mrs. Lu looked at him tenderly and said, "Would you believe me when you talk in plain language?"

"Uh..." Master Lu struggled for a long time and said, "Can she try? I'm not an unreasonable person."

Mrs. Lu looked at him with staring eyes and said leisurely, "You are the magistrate, she is just a civilian woman, if it is not because of the case, it would be difficult for us to see her as a housewife in this lifetime." The index finger stroked the forehead After thinking for a while, he said, "How can there be so many things taken for granted in this world! If you don't come up with something convincing, who will believe you! Just like you just came to the government office, those people are very unconvinced. It’s not you who made the achievements, they won’t accept you.”

Lord Lu moved his lips, speechless.

"Don't be so harsh, okay." Mrs. Lu looked at him tenderly and said, she couldn't help guessing maliciously, "What is the commander of the company talking about at this time? Is it adding fuel to the fire?"

"No, no, don't think about it, the company commander is here to intercede." Master Lu said hastily.

"Pleading?" Mrs. Lu looked at him in surprise and said, "It seems that Ye Sanniang moved to the countryside pretty well. It's only been a while, and the district chief has come to plead for mercy."

"The deep plowing, cotton planting, and roads in the village are all led by Ye Sanniang. The company commander is really grateful to her." Master Lu said as he looked at her with dark eyes.

"Also, moreover, Ye Sanniang even saved the village chief's girl." Mrs. Lu raised her eyebrows lightly to remind him.

"Remember, sorceress." Lord Lu suddenly realized when he heard the words, "But looking at Lian Lichang's appearance, I still don't know that her daughter escaped from death."

"Do good deeds without leaving a name, and there is no repayment!" Mrs. Lu said in surprise.

"I'll go and have a look in the prison." Master Lu stood up abruptly, couldn't sit still anymore, faced his daughter-in-law, who was smiling but not smiling, and made an excuse indiscriminately, "I'll ask her why she didn't tell The whitening of the land."

"Yes! Yes! I'm waiting for you." Mrs. Lu looked at him with a smile and said, and suddenly said on a whim, "How about I go with you!"

"Prison?" Master Lu frowned lightly when he heard the words, "It's very dirty and smelly inside, are you okay?"

"Underestimate me." Mrs. Lu stood up and said, "We were not born in the nest of wealth." She raised her foot and walked towards the bedroom, saying as she walked, "Wait a minute, I'll go get some clothes on."

The couple got fully dressed and the two went to the cell together.

Aunt Gu looked at the magistrate and his wife in front of her, who were suddenly terrified, her hips were trembling, her teeth were chattering, she wished she could faint at this moment.

"Plop..." Aunt Gu kowtowed, "My lord, please forgive me! The little lard was deceived, so I took money from Ye's family and sent the clothes and quilt inside."

"Get up!" Lord Lu looked at her with a straight face and said, "Don't go too far."

When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Master Lu also knows that it is difficult for these small officials to support their families with their salaries alone. It is understandable to find ways to earn some money. As long as it is not too much, he can only turn a blind eye.

"Yes, yes, yes! The little one is just making a living, making a living." Aunt Gu said tremblingly as she stood up.

"Where is Ye Sanniang locked up?" Master Lu asked Aunt Gu with dark eyes.

"Please come with the little one." Aunt Gu took the keys to the cells and led the way.

Madam Lu walked in the prison, and could clearly hear the echo of her footsteps.

It's sunny outside, and it's cold, dreary in here.He frowned slightly, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

How could they, the old and the weak, women and children, endure such an environment.

"Ye Sanniang, the magistrate is here, get up quickly." Aunt Gu roared like a lion, the sound made the cell tremble.

Ye Sanniang threw off the quilt and jumped off the bed when she heard the words, "The housewife pays respects to Master Lu, Mrs. Lu."

Zheyuan and the others also saluted, "Greetings to Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu."

"Get up!" Lord Lu raised his hand slightly and said.

"Master Lu, do you want to open the cell door?" Aunt Gu asked with a slight bow.

"No, you step back!" Master Lu waved his hand upon hearing this.

"Yes!" Aunt Gu said with a blessing, and stepped back with heavy steps.

"How is the reflection? Are you going to accept the imperial decree or not?" Master Lu said with a sullen face looking at Ye Sanniang.

"Family women can't pick it up. If you pick it up, it will be a crime to His Majesty and injustice." Ye Sanniang said, looking at them with clear eyes.

Ye Yanxing and the others all stared at Ye Sanniang with wide eyes. They looked at her in disbelief.

Lord Lu tilted his head slightly to look at his wife, and signaled with his eyes: "Listen, she is reasonable."

Judging from the reaction of the Ye family, it is obvious that they don't know.

Lord Lu looked at her with raised eyebrows and said, "Ye Sanniang, I would like to hear your opinion."

"The emperor just ordered the widow to remarry, and turned around and gave me a plaque for a chaste and strong woman. Isn't this inconsistent! Is this a marriage or not?" Ye Sanniang said, looking at them with deep and bright eyes.

"You know it's a reward for your brave resistance in the face of men's atrocities." Mr. Lu looked at her with dark eyes and said.

"But the focus is wrong." Ye Sanniang looked at the two of them with clear, crystal-like eyes and said again, "The focus should not be on the word chastity, it should be bravery!" Said bluntly and cruelly, "I was With disheveled clothes and almost half-naked, according to the great Confucians of the time, it is already out of integrity." Looking at them with star-like eyes, he said, "Is the emperor rewarding me for keeping my chastity? It shouldn't be! It should be I was the one who dared to resist! If you don’t resist, how can you keep your chastity, right?” His deep and bright eyes stared at them and said, “The emperor’s gift is only that more girls dare to resist men in the face of my situation back then!”

Mrs. Lu stared at Ye Sanniang with starry eyes, and had to admire her bluntness.

Master Lu looked at her with interest after licking his molars and said, "Then according to what you mean, this plaque should be..."

"Give me a woman who doesn't give way to a man, I will like it more." Ye Sanniang said looking at them with pure peach blossom eyes.

"Would you like to add the second half of the sentence, "Your beauty is better than your son?" Master Lu said kindly.

"Don't dare, dare not!" Ye Sanniang waved her hands.

"I think you are very courageous!" Lord Lu shouted.

The sound was like a bell, which made Zheyuan and the others tremble in fright.
