Quick Wear: Male supporting role, come to my arms quickly

Chapter 213: Childhood sweethearts with the villain?

"Are you the county magistrate's new concubine?"

"Bah! That bastard is worthy of being a county magistrate? He forced my parents to death. I will never be his woman in my life."

Hmm? Chu Yuan's eyes shone as he looked at the guard next to him.

"Please forgive me, young lady. I will check it now."

I don’t know what kind of person my father chose for her. He is so useless. Didn’t they say that no one was killed?

Chu Yuan untied the girl on the bed and said, "Don't worry, we are not in the same group as the county magistrate. If you have any grievances, you can tell us and we will avenge you."

"My name is Li Wan." Li Wan is just an ordinary peasant girl. She knows that her hope of avenging her parents on her own is very slim.

The group of people in front of her looked powerful, and she wanted to take a gamble, so she told them the whole story.

County Magistrate Gu was attracted by her beauty and used his power to force her parents to send her to the county magistrate's mansion.

However, Li Wan's parents loved their daughter very much, and she had already been engaged to a scholar from the same village. They were going to get married after he took part in the provincial examination.

So despite the repeated pressure from the county magistrate, they did not give in and were even prepared to move their family with Li Wan.

But she didn't expect that on a dark and windy night, a group of people would rush into her house and knock her unconscious.

When she woke up again, she was already in this yard.

She met the county magistrate here that night. There was nothing she didn't understand at that moment. It was all done by the man in front of her.

According to Magistrate Gu, after Li Wan's parents and fiancé discovered that she was missing, they beat drums outside the court to protest their injustice.

He ordered the men to be thrown into jail and threatened Li Wan that he would kill them if they did not obey.

No matter how unwilling Li Wan was, she couldn't just watch her family die for her, so she could only pretend to surrender.

But she didn't expect that a bailiff would rush over that night and take the county magistrate away, and she has been tied up here ever since.

During these days, apart from a maid named Xiaojing who took care of her eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, she had not seen anyone else.

"If that's the case, then why do you say the county magistrate forced your parents to death?"

"I heard it from Xiao Jing who brought me food. She secretly told me that my parents had committed suicide in prison."

Hearing this, Chu Yuan became suspicious. How could a little maid who delivered meals know what was happening in prison?

So he sent his men to bring the maid named Xiaojing over. When Xiaojing saw that something was not right, she confessed everything.

It turned out that she was the Fourth Aunt's person, and the Fourth Aunt was also forced to marry into the county magistrate's mansion. They were all pitiful people, so they wanted to help this poor woman.

Li Wan's parents were indeed dead, having committed suicide in the county jail. Her fiancé changed his mind the next day and said he would not marry her, so he was released by the county magistrate.

The Fourth Aunt originally wanted to help her escape, but before she could come up with a plan, Chu Yuan arrived.

At this time, County Magistrate Gu, who had rushed back to the mansion after hearing the news, also arrived. Chu Yuan directly ordered him to be arrested, and then sent his personal guards to investigate the matter.

The people mobilized this time were those trained by Chu Yuan himself. They would definitely not be as useless as the previous ones, and the case soon became clear.

The county magistrate was dismissed from his post and sentenced to exile, and all those who knew about it were severely punished.

The several women who were forced were all sent back home, and Chu Yuan also sent people to escort them secretly. If their homes could not accommodate them, they would be sent back to the city.

She is protected by the Princess's Mansion, so let's see if anyone dares to gossip.

As for Li Wan, Chu Yuan asked her what she thought and took her to a silk shop: "This is my property. You will work here from now on."

"Thank you very much, Miss." Li Wan was very grateful to the woman who saved her from the fire and avenged her parents. She vowed to work hard to repay her kindness.

Later, the men who were sent out brought back news that the families of those women had a bad attitude, and some were even planning to sell them to others.

After all, a woman who catches the magistrate's eye must be pretty, and even if she has been married, she can still be sold for a good price.

Chu Yuan simply recruited them all into his shop, signed indentures with them, and provided them with a place to settle down.

As for the indenture, it was just a piece of paper to prevent their families from looking for them again. If they had their own way out in the future and wanted to remarry or move to another city to live, Chu Yuan would not stop them.

However, to her surprise, these women were all very strong-willed and managed to make the shop she bought temporarily very prosperous.

The annual profit even ranks among the top among the industries under her name. Maybe this is the power of women.

But that’s all in the past. Chu Yuan was already on his way south.

After leaving Yueyuan County, heading south, you will reach Jiangning Prefecture, which is Chu Yuan’s destination.

The first thing to do when arriving in Jiangning is, of course, to visit my little sisters.

Chu Yuan brought a lot of specialties from the capital city in his accompanying carriage, and now they were all found and sent to Han's mansion.

When Liao Xuewei heard the servants report that a young lady named Chu wanted to see her, she thought she had heard it wrong. Chu is the royal surname, so it couldn't be the one she was thinking of.

"Someone come quickly and help me dress up."

Liao Xuewei hurriedly combed her hair and rushed to the front hall: "Yuanyuan! It's really you! Why are you in Jiangning?"

"Sister Liao, I came to see you. We haven't seen each other since you got married. Are you living well here?"

The two reminisced about the past and talked about many things that had happened recently.

Chu Yuan also learned from Liao Xuewei about the recent major incident in Jiangning area - water bandits.

Liao Xuewei's husband is the prefect of Jiangning Prefecture. He has been busy with this matter these days.

"Don't worry, Sister Liao. I brought a few teams of elite guards with me this time. I will ask them to go and help us. We will definitely be able to repel the pirates."

In order to ease her anxiety, Chu Yuan took out the gifts he brought one by one: "Sister Liao, come and see."

"Is this Tiansi Yunjin? And there are new jewelry from the Jade Pavilion! Rouge from Huarongfang, honey-glazed meat jerky from the west of the city, cakes from the north of the city..."

Chu Yuan saw her eyes shining and smiled proudly: "I know you well enough, this is what you like."

"Yuanyuan, I'm so happy. I haven't seen these things for a long time since I came to Jiangning!"

Seeing tears welling up in Liao Xuewei's eyes, Chu Yuan was at a loss for words: "That's not the case, Sister Liao. Is there no good in Jiang Ning?"

Liao Xuewei picked up the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes: "What nonsense are you talking about? There are many good things in Jiangning, but I just miss home."
