After Yan Zhigao and Yan Wenxiu returned home, they first visited Mrs. Yan to reassure her, and then returned to their respective courtyards, without meeting anyone else at home immediately.

Mrs. Li personally helped Yan Zhigao wash up. During the process, she told him everything that Daohua had investigated.

Yan Zhigao's eyelids jumped a few times when he heard that his imprisonment was all thanks to his second brother.

Although he is fine now, as the head of a government, he was arrested in front of so many people and was imprisoned in the provincial jail for a night. People who don't know the reason don't know what they will say about him. In the future, he will be

Your reputation among the people will definitely be affected.

Mrs. Li looked at Yan Zhigao's face, waited for him to eat something, and then asked: "Second brother...does the master know about the matter of accepting bribes outside?"

Hearing this, Yan Zhigao was shocked and looked at Mrs. Li with wide eyes: "What are you accepting bribes for?"

Mrs. Li sighed and showed Yan Zhigao what Daohua had searched from Mr. Li and Mr. Li's brother.

Yan Zhigao flipped through the pages quickly, and his face turned greener as he read. At the end, his hands were shaking: "This bastard, is he trying to kill me?!"

He couldn't imagine what would happen to him if these things fell into the hands of his political opponents.

Others don't care whether he knows about these things, they will only think that he acquiesced in his brother's doings, so in the end, he will be the one who bears the responsibility.

Mrs. Li's face was full of sadness: "Master, I really didn't expect that my second brother would be so brave and do so many troubles behind your back. If it weren't for our daughter this time, he wouldn't know how long he would keep it from us.

."

"Not only did he cause trouble, but he was stupid enough to hand over the evidence to the outside room for safekeeping, but knew nothing about the collusion between the outside room and the Chiang family."

"Master, I'm really scared. You're fine this time. It's God's blessing and ancestor's blessing. But what about next time? Can we be so lucky again and again?"

Yan Zhigao was also filled with fear, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He finally got to where he is today, and he almost fell into the abyss.

Mrs. Li looked at her husband's cheeks which were flushed with anger and did not say any more.

She had really had enough patience with her second brother-in-law. Even though she had done nothing for the family in these years, she still came to harm them like this. When she thought that her second brother almost killed her husband and almost ruined the future of her son and daughter, she felt angry in her heart.

I can't stop it no matter what.

On the other side, Han Xinran was also talking to Yan Wenxiu about what happened at home in the past two days.

"Fortunately, my eldest sister discovered my second uncle's outer room in time and found evidence that my uncle had accepted bribes. Otherwise, I don't know what the consequences would have been."

Yan Wenxiu closed his eyes and rubbed his swollen temples. He had hardly closed his eyes in the past two days. At this moment, he was very tired both physically and mentally. After hearing what his second uncle did, he felt extremely annoyed.

"Second uncle usually seems quite smart, why do he do stupid things?"

Han Xinran hesitated for a moment and then said: "Maybe he was praised too much." In the capital, she had heard a lot about people like her second uncle. They were all hiding under the protection of their families and had little ability, but they were praised by others.

After just a few words, I can’t tell the difference between east, west, north, south and how many kilograms there are.

Yan Wenxiu snorted coldly: "My second uncle has indeed lived a very comfortable life these years." Otherwise, how could he dare to raise an extra wife and even give birth to a son.

Han Xinran couldn't accept these words, so he praised Daohua: "I really didn't expect that the eldest sister is so powerful. When she took the second uncle back from the outer room, I was so angry that the second uncle looked so angry.

I was scared when I looked at it, but the eldest sister was stunned and suppressed the second uncle."

"My father was arrested, and you followed him to the provincial capital. The whole family was panicked. In the end, the eldest sister came back to calm the situation and stabilize people's hearts."

"While preparing food to save my father, I sent people to inquire about the whereabouts of the lost military rations. I was not anxious or impatient. It seemed that everything was under control. It really didn't look like a lady raised in a boudoir."

She thinks she cannot be like Daohua.

After hearing this, Yan Wenxiu showed a smile on his face: "The eldest sister is not an ordinary boudoir daughter. She used to run away, open her own shop, and buy Zhuangzi. Regarding this, I once persuaded my mother to restrain her.

Big sister’s temperament.”

"Now that I think about it, it would be better for my girl's family to go through more things. It is not easy to manage a store and a village well. It is necessary to ensure profits while also controlling the servants. It is really a good exercise for people's abilities."

Han Xinran agreed with her face.

......

That afternoon, Yan Zhigao called Yan Zhiyuan to the main courtyard.

Although he was the only one called, everyone from the second room came.

Daohua and Yan Wenxiu also came over and sat beside them.

Yan Zhiyuan knew that he had made a big mistake this time. As soon as he saw Yan Zhigao, he knelt down and said, "Brother, I'm sorry for you. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be in jail this time. Please punish me."

!"

Yan Zhigao looked at Yan Zhiyuan seriously and did not ask him to get up. Instead, he interrogated him in detail about what he had done behind the back of his family over the years.

When they heard that Yan Zhiyuan had accepted nearly ten thousand taels of silver from others over the years, the faces of everyone in the Yan family changed again and again.

Yan Zhigao threw the tea cup directly in front of Yan Zhiyuan, gritted his teeth and said, "Hand over all the money, land deeds, and shop deeds you have collected over the years."

Brother Yan Zhiyuan was so angry that his veins popped out, and he was also scared. He nodded quickly: "I will pay, I will pay."

Yan Zhigao looked at Yan Wenxiu: "Have you remembered all the things your second uncle said just now?"

Yan Wenxiu nodded.

Yan Zhigao: "Starting from tomorrow, you will go to deal with the aftermath in person. You must compensate for what needs to be compensated and spend money on what needs to be spent. You must erase these things."

Yan Wenxiu nodded again: "Okay."

When Mrs. Li heard this, her brows were furrowed. The second brother-in-law always came to clean up the aftermath when the second brother-in-law made a mistake. Seeing her son's tired look, she felt a little more resentful toward the second brother-in-law.

Daohua sat aside and said nothing, lowering her eyes and not knowing what she was thinking.

Just when Yan Zhigao reprimanded Yan Zhiyuan loudly, Wang Manyer entered the room and whispered a few words in Daohua's ear.

Daohua said something to Mrs. Li and left the room. It took about two quarters of an hour before she came back again.

"What happened?"

As soon as Daohua came in, Mrs. Li couldn't help but ask.

Daohua shook her head and looked at Yan Zhigao: "The lost military rations have been found."

Hearing this, both Yan Zhigao and Yan Wenxiu were overjoyed.

Yan Zhiyuan also looked happy: "Brother, since our family has nothing to lose, just let Mei Niang go. She was also threatened by the Jiang family. Now Wen An is still young and can't live without his own mother."

Hearing this, everyone in the room couldn't help but be stunned.

Yan Zhigao looked at his brother in disbelief. At this moment, he was still thinking about the outer room, without realizing what a big mistake he had made.

"Humph!"

Daohua couldn't help it anymore and immediately sneered: "Second uncle, what do you mean no loss?"

"Have you forgotten those government servants who were killed when the army rations were lost? Their lives are not life. Have you ever thought about their families? Don't these need to be comforted by your father?"

"In order to recover the military rations, the people sent to look for them suffered a lot of damage. Are these not losses?"

"My father was arrested and imprisoned for a day and a night. His reputation was damaged and his dignity was damaged. Isn't this a loss?"

"Although my father has been released now, you don't think this is the end of the matter, do you? It's true that the military rations were lost. How come my father has a reputation for poor supervision? It is clear that this year's assessment can be top-notch, but because of this mistake, maybe

The assessment can only be rated as average or low. Aren’t these losses?”

"Because of this incident, the family is in panic, and my grandmother is also suddenly ill. Aren't these losses?"

Saying that, Daohua raised her head and sneered: "Second uncle, you didn't lose anything at all, because all the losses were borne by others!"

After listening to Daohua's words, everyone in the room fell silent. Yan Zhiyuan looked at Daohua with his mouth slightly open. After a while, he said coldly: "Then what else do you want? Mei Niang gave birth to a son for the Yan family. Is it possible for you?

Do you still want to kill her?"

"Second brother!"

Mrs. Li stood up with an angry look on her face: "Second brother, Daohua is just telling the truth. Please don't get involved with her when you have nothing to do, and make it seem like she forced you to do everything."

After saying that, she looked at Daohua and winked at her, "You have nothing to do here. You can go down." The master came back, and she didn't want her daughter to interfere with the second wife's affairs at all, so as not to complain in the future.

Daohua glanced at Mrs. Li, she didn't want to stay here any longer.

Sun Changze helped find the army rations. During the fight for the rations, a fight broke out on the river with people hired by the Jiang family. It was said that many people were injured, and she had to compensate and comfort these people.

Seeing Daohua leave, Yan Wenjie and Zhu Qiyun were extremely anxious. They didn't expect that Yan Zhiyuan would be so stupid and actually plead for the outer room at this time. Wouldn't this add fuel to the fire?

Looking at Yan Zhigao, who had a cold face and said nothing, Yan Wenjie was a little panicked. If his uncle had beaten and scolded his father, he wouldn't have been so panicked, but now that his uncle didn't say anything, he felt unsure.

Yan Wenjie couldn't help but look at Sun, hoping that she would say a few words to make the scene less tense.

Unfortunately, Ms. Sun lowered her head and said nothing, not looking at him at all.

Seeing that her mother-in-law didn't say a word, Zhu Qiyun knew that she had been badly hurt by her father-in-law, and she no longer wanted to interfere with his affairs.

Hey, their second wife is afraid that she will be separated from the first wife.

"You all go down, I'm tired and want to take a rest."

Yan Zhigao suddenly said something, and then strode away without waiting for anyone to react.

Yan Wenjie and Zhu Qiyun looked at each other, and they both saw worry in each other's eyes.

......

"How's it going? What did you find out?"

Mrs. Yan looked at Sun Ma anxiously.

Sun Ma hesitated for a moment and told Mrs. Yan what she had just heard in the main courtyard.

After hearing this, Mrs. Yan was so angry that she slapped her thigh: "This traitor, you traitor!"

Sun Ma didn’t dare to speak at this time and stood silently aside.

After a while, Mrs. Yan sighed: "I originally thought that before I stepped into the coffin, this family could remain together, but now..."

Mrs. Yan's eyes slowly turned red. The child's father died early, and the family relied on mutual support to get where they are today. She originally thought that the three brothers could go on hand in hand, but after all, it was her extravagant hope.

She can't let the second child keep dragging the boss down!

Mrs. Yan wiped away the tears in her eyes, and her eyes gradually became firm: "Go, call the boss, the second, and the third over. I have something to say."
Chapter completed!
