Chapter 297: Chapter 297: Experiencing the Dungeon (7)_1

"It was the Pei family who played tricks, they wanted you siblings dead!" Grandma Fang cursed with rage, red-eyed with fury as she clutched Pei Qin.

"To think of such venomous tactics, the people of the Pei family aren’t human at all!" Lady Yu cursed, and then she hurriedly asked if Pei Qin and Pei Qian had been to the Yamen to receive punishment, and how they had been released.

"The land we planted belonged to Shen Songming, his father is the Jinan Magistrate. When we were leaving, he gave us his name card. When the Sir Magistrate saw it, he released us!" Pei Qin said with a smile.

"What!? That Shen Songming is the son of the Jinan Magistrate!?" Fang Li exclaimed in shock.

Grandma Fang and Lady Yu were also shocked, but they quickly felt relieved. It was fortunate they had planted on the land of the Jinan Magistrate’s son; otherwise, wouldn’t the Sir Magistrate have indeed thrown Qinqin and the others into the dungeon?

"How did you come to know the son of the Jinan Magistrate? Why haven’t you mentioned it before?" Fang Li asked Pei Qin loudly.

"I only found out not long ago myself," Pei Qin responded directly.

Old Scholar Fang’s face was grim, his brows knitted with anger, "The Pei family can’t even get through to the County Magistrate of Wu, let alone make the Magistrate of Runing take action!"

"It must have been the Qian family’s doing behind the scenes, otherwise, they wouldn’t have come up with such a vicious plan," said Lady Ruan, her voice soft.

"I also uncovered some interesting information this time!" Pei Qin then shared the story of how Old Master Qian remarried and had a child, and how Lady Qian and Pei Zongli were driven out.

Grandma Fang cursed a couple of times about them getting what they deserved, and then added thoughtfully, "Even if they were driven out, they could still live a life of luxury in Runing Prefecture. Why bother coming back to the village!?" They had even driven her daughter Rongniang to death!

Pei Qin laughed carelessly and told Grandma Fang and Lady Yu to please help with the pickled cabbage. She didn’t linger and hurried off, "... we hired people to harvest the cabbage at home!"

Nothing urgent was going on at home, and there was a place to stay at the workshop, so Grandma Fang looked at Old Scholar Fang and immediately said she would go with her to the town.

Lady Yu also went to pack her clothes, leaving the housework to Lady Ruan and Fang Fang to help.

Fang Fang didn’t want to stay at home and insisted on going as well, "I haven’t been to Cousin’s house in so long!" Working at their house meant there would surely be meat to eat every day! She hadn’t had meat for a long time!

"You are not allowed to go! If you don’t lose the weight on your body, you’re not allowed anywhere!" Lady Yu shouted angrily. She was worried sick, yet Fang Fang was acting like she was in a dream, caring about nothing but eating and having fun.

"Cousin..." Fang Fang had already forgotten about the previous incident and was pleadingly calling for Pei Qin.

"Stay home and lose weight!" Pei Qin directly refused her with a smile.

Fang Fang complained discontentedly, "Why can’t I go? I can work if I go too!"

"You’d only cause more trouble if you went! Stay at home, help your aunt with chores, and take care of Sister Xinxin!" Lady Yu stretched her hand and slapped her on the back.

Fang Fang cried out in pain, protesting discontentedly.

Old Scholar Fang’s expression turned sour, and as he walked out with his hands behind his back, Fang Fang stopped her complaining and dared not shout anymore.

Fang Li still dwelt on the matter of the Jinan Magistrate, "Since you know the son of the Jinan Magistrate, and it was the Qian family who framed you, why not have the Sir Magistrate punish them for their crimes!?"

The matter seemed simple, but the accusation letter was anonymous, and there was no evidence to prove it was a trap set by the Qian family. Even if evidence could be found, even if the person who wrote the letter was found, they could just say that sweet potatoes are from a foreign country, the yield per acre is several times higher than wheat and corn, which is too abnormal, abnormal things are monstrous, so they reported out of fear. The Government Office would, at most, impose a couple of beatings, and those beaten would be someone else, not connected to the Qian family.
