Chapter 84

In the early morning of the next day, Bai Jingwen and Qi Ruyi had just finished cooking when Qi Tianyu and Li Si drove back in a pony carriage and followed Mrs. Li and Dr. Li back and forth. Seeing them rushing forward, Mrs. Li felt nervous Asked: "Tianyu, how is Tianxiang?"

"Mother, sit down, we eat and say that I'm starving to death." Qi Tianyu said pitifully.

"Sit down, it's obviously not a big deal for him to say that." Dr. Li looked at her and persuaded her, still wanting to ask.

After washing up, Bai Jingwen's aunt and sister-in-law had already set the meal.Qi Tianyu and Li Si each ate a steamed bun before Qi Tianyu said: "The news we found is that Tianxiang was indeed plotted by someone, and now he is in the prison, and he needs 5000 taels of silver to release him."

"Isn't this obviously killing people? Who in the village can spend so much money?" Li said with a look of despair.

"Mother, don't talk, I have the money here, what else have you found?" Bai Jingwen replied with a serious face.

"We only found out that the person who framed Tianxiang was instructed by others, but we haven't found out who is behind the scenes." Li Si replied guiltily.

"It seems that the other party is hiding well. How did they frame Tianxiang?" Bai Jingwen asked with a sneer.

"It is said that Tianxiang accidentally broke an inkstone of the other party. Our people also checked that the inkstone is indeed worth that price, but it was damaged before. In addition, we found out that the other party is just a scholar, and all his belongings may not have that piece. Inkstones are valuable, that's why we suspect that the other party is being instructed by others." Li Si replied.

"Give him the money, rescue Tianxiang first, and then send someone to watch him and he will contact the people behind the scenes." Bai Jingwen said through gritted teeth.

"Xiaowen, thank you, mother." Seeing that she took out so much money without blinking, Li said excitedly.

"I'm an investment. If Tianxiang becomes an official in the future, I still want to be honored. If you can't become an official, just wait to be enslaved by me for the rest of your life." Bai Jingwen replied with a smile.

"Isn't it okay if I sell him to you? Let's eat quickly. I have to go back to the county in a while." Qi Tianyu said immediately when he saw her face like a businessman.

The problem was solved for the time being. After the family had a happy breakfast, Qi Tianyu and the two set off with the money to save Qi Tianxiang and 1000 taels of money for buying people and horses.

With the help of Qi Ruyi, Bai Jingwen started to make soap, and Dr. Li took Li Shi, who had regained her smile, to collect herbs and dig wild vegetables.

When Qi Tianyu came back in the evening, he immediately attracted the attention of the villagers. Not only did he bring two more large carriages, but he also brought back seven or eight people.

"Tianyu, do you have relatives here?" At this time, Mrs. Zhang stepped forward and asked.

"It's grandma. I bought these horses. As for them, I bought them as servants." Qi Tianyu looked at the different expressions in the eyes of the people and suddenly understood Bai Jingwen's intention of letting her learn martial arts last year. I am afraid that the family will not be peaceful in the future. , after some pleasantries, Qi Tianyu finally brought a group of people back home.

Mrs. Li was startled when she saw so many people coming suddenly. After knowing that they were servants, she pointed at Qi Tianyu and blamed: "You say you, Xiaowen can't spend the money like this for you, right? It's too eye-catching. Buying two It’s enough for a servant to cook and clean up.”

"Mom, you can just use it if you buy it. There won't be enough manpower after the two children are born." Bai Jingwen said.

"Everyone has been tired all day, leave a cook, and Tianyu will arrange a place for them to live in. Let's get up and meet people tomorrow." Bai Jingwen saw that there was still a child inside and then said.

After everyone had left, Bai Jingwen asked, "Li Si, why didn't Tianxiang come back?"

"That's right, after such a big incident, I have to come back and make up for it." Only then did Li Shi realize that Qi Tianxiang was not there and stepped forward to ask.

"I think Tianxiang was very irritated this time. He didn't say a word when he got out of the prison. He went to the inn to wash up, and asked to go back to the academy after eating." Li Si replied with a serious face.

"That's good, it's also a growth for him." Dr. Li said helplessly.

Bai Jingwen is indeed a bit timid, don't overexcite people and only think about money and power, it seems that she should pay more attention to it in the future.

The next morning, when Bai Jingwen woke up and saw strangers in the courtyard, she remembered that several servants had checked in yesterday.

Bai Jingwen didn't introduce the family members one by one until they were all together before the meal.

"You guys introduce yourself too." Bai Jingwen asked.

Only then did Bai Jingwen know that a family of five was sold by a wealthy family.

The oldest old man used to be a farmer in the main house. People call Lao Suntou a good farmer. His son Sun Qiang was in charge of planting watermelons. Son and grandson Chunyu is 12 years old today.

The remaining three people, one is the cook Mrs. Zhou, and the other two are the rough envoys Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Song.

"Everyone has also seen the situation at home. We are not a big family, but it is more than enough for you to eat and drink enough. As for wages, except for him in the first three months, everyone who can stay will be paid according to the division of labor." Bai Jingwen pointed to Sun Chunyu and said.

"Then what are the conditions for staying?" Mrs. Zhou hurriedly stepped forward and asked anxiously. The family now just wants to live in peace, and if they sell it again, they may not be able to stay together, especially the father and daughter.
