Chapter 397 Ruthless person

Master Tian said: "Children born from married women can be redeemed, but the price is not cheap. A daughter will cost five taels of silver, and a male over fourteen years old will cost ten taels of silver."

"Twelve taels!" Yao Minghui felt very sad. Two are twenty taels, which is a lot of money.

Seeing his pain, Master Tian smiled and said, "It's not certain whether the Lu family is a runaway slave. You can wait until the slave registration booklet from Jinling Mansion is delivered. If Mr. Lu is not a runaway slave, you will save this money. "

Yao Minghui was a little moved, but he thought of Zou Xiancheng's appearance in the court... Even Zou Xiancheng was eager to break away from the Lu family. The story that Mr. Lu was a runaway slave was probably true.

We can't wait any longer. If we wait until Mr. Lu is sentenced to redeem his people, his two sons will become official slaves.

You can avoid this stain by redeeming it early.

"Master Tian, ​​our family has been really harmed by the Lu family. Don't worry, those two are the students' sons. The student will redeem them no matter what. Just wait, the student will go back and get the money to redeem them." Yao Minghui bowed to Master Tian again and then bowed respectfully.

Niu Chengwu heard that it cost ten taels of silver to redeem a man, and he immediately did not want to redeem his son again.

But the village chief Niu refused, saying that Ren Geer was his son after all. He was already seventeen this year, and the marriage had been decided. In a few months, he would get married, and he would have to be redeemed to carry on the family line.

As for the two daughters born to Lu Hehua, village chief Niu was reluctant to spend ten taels of silver to redeem them.

As soon as the matter was decided, the Niu family and the Yao family were busy redeeming people.

 …

Zou Yuzhen stayed up all night in Zou Mansion. After knowing that Zou County Cheng was back, he did not dare to hang out in front of Zou County Cheng, for fear that Zou County Cheng would vent his anger on him.

 He went to see Aunt Lu.

Aunt Lu also didn't sleep all night. After learning the news, she was almost crazy with fright: "Mommy, this matter has really leaked out, what should we do?"

 Aunt Lu knew that Mr. Lu was a runaway slave, because she met Mr. Lu by chance when Mother Han was in trouble, and she wanted to report him as a runaway slave, forcing Mr. Lu to spend money to redeem Mother Han's body.

After redeeming the death of Aunt Han, Aunt Han did not sell herself to the Lu family, but gave an idea to Mr. Lu, saying that she would help him teach Lu Meihua, and after teaching Lu Meihua, let her go to Zou County Cheng Be a concubine and let the Lu family live a good life.

 Aunt Han used to specialize in teaching girls to serve men at Linglong Huafang. Her skills were quite good. As long as she was taught by Aunt Han, it would not be difficult to be favored.

Mr. Lu also disliked that his family was not wealthy enough at that time. After hearing Aunt Han’s proposal, he slapped the table and agreed.

In the next two years, Aunt Lu was taught by Aunt Han, and she learned various skills in serving men, as well as some calligraphy and poetry. Two years later, Aunt Lu sold herself and joined the Zou family.

Because he was good-looking and literate, he was assigned to serve Zou Xiancheng in the study.

 Not long after, Aunt Lu became the servant of the Prime Minister of Zou County. She became favored from then on, and she became the aunt because of her superiority to her son.

At this time, Aunt Han also sold herself into the Zou family and became Aunt Lu's nanny.

So everyone didn’t know that Mother Han and Mr. Lu had known each other for a long time, and both of them came out of Linglong Huafang.

It's just that Mr. Lu is a runaway slave, and Aunt Han met Mr. Lu after being resold, and forced Mr. Lu to redeem her body. For the sake of her future prosperity, she designed to send Aunt Lu to the Zou family, and then sold herself to follow her. , enjoying the blessings of these twenty years. Mother Han said: "Auntie, don't worry, no matter what happens to the Lu family, it will not involve you. You have the third young master by your side. As long as the third young master is here, your good days will not end."

"What do you mean, mama? You want to give up the Lu family!" Aunt Lu was shocked, looking at Aunt Han with a hint of resentment in her eyes: "Those are my father, my brother, and my nephews. If we give up the Lu family, Family, if I don’t save them, I won’t have a family.”

Aunt Lu has a good conscience and never thought of giving up Mr. Lu at the critical moment of life and death.

 But who is Aunt Han?

How could Aunt Lu offend Zou County Cheng in order to save the Lu family?

Aunt Han said: "Auntie, although Zou County Cheng has not found out who gave him the ultimate medicine, he has begun to be wary of Auntie. During this period of time, let alone coming to Auntie's room, there are still many things hidden outside our yard. The young people are all watching my aunt secretly."

Mother Han lowered her voice and said: "The old man doesn't believe my aunt anymore and is trying to find something to do with her. If my aunt goes against the county magistrate again at this time, what will the third young master do?"

"The eldest brother and the second child have fallen. Seeing that the third young master can take charge of the Zou family, something like this happened. For the current plan, we can only abandon the Lu family and save the third young master. It should be noted that the aunt has to rely on the third young master. , Only when the third young master gets well can my aunt have a good life."

 And she can have a good life.

Aunt Lu was very hesitant: "But, that's my dad."

"So what if he's my aunt's father?" Zou Yuzhen pushed the door open and walked in. After turning around and closing the door, he walked to Aunt Lu, knelt down and said, "Auntie, please have mercy on your poor son. Please help him. He can't have a child." My grandfather was a runaway slave.”

“My son will have to take the exam for merit and fame in the future. If his grandfather is a runaway slave, even if he can take the exam, he will be laughed to death by the candidates who are on the same list and in the same subject. This is a stain on the son’s life, and this stain cannot be left behind!”

 Can’t stay…

Aunt Lu was shocked and asked Zou Yuzhen tremblingly: "Brother Zhen, what do you mean? Why can't you stay in law?"

 Zou Yuzhen looked at Aunt Han.

Mother Han understood and whispered: "Auntie, it will take ten days to send back the slave registration booklet of Jinling Mansion. Generally, the thumb of the left hand is used to make fingerprints. As long as..."

Mother Han whispered a few words to Aunt Lu. Aunt Lu was so frightened that her face turned pale and her tears kept flowing: "You, you are trying to...father him die miserably."

Aunt Han said: "Auntie, what kind of tragic death? Mr. Lu is called to die to prove his innocence. If this thing is done, County Magistrate Xu will not only convict the Lu family of running away slaves, but also be punished for the crime of disregarding human life." , when the time comes he wants to be promoted, but it won’t be that easy.”

Zou Yuzhen said: "Auntie, because of what Zhong Cuilan said before she died, my father has begun to doubt you, and Master Shao is a legitimate concubine. Recently, he is lobbying my father to support the second son's son to become the future head of the Zou family. We can no longer be dragged down by the Lu family, we must use the Lu family to turn around!"

After Mr. Lu died, he left another blood letter. They took the blood letter to the city to complain. Not only could they escape this disaster, but they could also bite Magistrate Xu and County Captain Jiang back.

Aunt Lu was moved. Taking advantage of her consent, Aunt Han quickly picked up a bag of silver, went to the kitchen to pick up a box of food, and went to the county prison to visit Mr. Lu.
