Chapter 397 Ruthless

Master Tian said: "Children born to married women can be redeemed, but the price is not cheap. Daughters need five taels of silver, and boys over 14 years old need ten taels of silver."

"Ten taels!" Yao Minghui was in great pain, two is 20 taels, which is a lot of money.

Master Tian saw his pain, and said with a smile: "It is not certain whether the Lu family is a fugitive slave or not, you can wait until the Jinling mansion's slave registration book arrives, and if Mr. Lu is not a fugitive slave, you will save the money. "

Yao Minghui was a little moved, but he thought of Zou Xiancheng's appearance in the court... Even Zou Xiancheng was anxious to separate himself from the Lu family. The fact that Mr. Lu was a fugitive slave was probably true.

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

Redeeming it early can also avoid this stain.

"Master Tian, ​​my family was really hurt by the Lu family. Don't worry, those two are the sons of the student, and the student will redeem them no matter what. Just wait, the student will go back and redeem them with money." After Yao Minghui bowed to Master Tian and bowed again, he retreated respectfully.

When Niu Chengwu heard that ten taels of silver was required to redeem a boy, he immediately didn't want to redeem his son again.

But Village Chief Niu refused, saying that Brother Ren was also his son after all, he was seventeen this year, his marriage was settled, and he would get married in a few months, so he had to be redeemed to carry on the family line.

As for the two daughters born to Lu Hehua, who lost money, Village Chief Niu was reluctant to spend ten taels of silver to redeem them.

Once the matter was decided, the Niu family and the Yao family were busy redeeming the man.

……

In the Zou manor, Zou Yuzhen stayed up all night. After knowing that Zou Xiancheng had returned, he didn't dare to hang out in front of Zou Xiancheng, for fear that Zou Xiancheng would take his anger out on him.

He went to see Aunt Lu.

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

Aunt Lu knew that Mr. Lu was a runaway slave, because when Nanny Han was in distress, she met Mr. Lu by chance, and she wanted to report on him about his escape as a slave, and forced Mr. Lu to spend money to redeem Nanny Han.

After redeeming Nanny Han, Nanny Han did not sell herself to the Lu family, but gave Mr. Lu an idea, saying that she would help him teach Lu Meihua, and after teaching Lu Meihua, let her go to Zou Xiancheng Being a concubine will help the Lu family live a better life.

Han Momo used to teach girls to serve men in Linglong Painting Boat, and her skills were quite good. As long as she was taught by Han Momo, it is not difficult to get favored.

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

In the following two years, Aunt Lu was led and taught by Nanny Han, and learned various skills in serving men, and also learned some characters and poems. Two years later, Aunt Lu sold herself into the Zou family.

Because of his good looks and literacy, he was assigned to serve Zou Xiancheng in the study.

It didn't take long for Aunt Lu to serve Zou Xiancheng, and she was favored from then on, and mother was more expensive than her son, so she became an aunt.

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

So everyone didn't know that Nanny Han and Mr. Lu had known each other for a long time, and both of them came out of Linglong Painting Boat.

It's just that Mr. Lu is a runaway slave, and Nanny Han met Mr. Lu after being resold, and forced Mr. Lu to help her redeem her body. For the sake of her future glory and wealth, she designed to send Aunt Lu to Zou's house, and then sold herself to follow her. , enjoying the blessings of these 20 years.

Nanny Han said: "Don't worry, Auntie, 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 around, your good days will not end."

"What does Nanny mean? I want to abandon the Lu family!" Aunt Lu was shocked, and she looked at Nanny Han with a trace of resentment in her eyes: "That's my father, my brother, and my nephews. family, if I don’t save them, I won’t have a family.”

Aunt Lu still has a conscience, and she never thought of giving up on Mr. Lu at the moment of life and death.

But who is Nanny Han?

How could it be possible for Aunt Lu to offend Zou Xiancheng in order to save the Lu family.

Nanny Han said: "Auntie, although Zou Xiancheng didn't find out who gave him the extinction drug, he has already started to be wary of Auntie. During this period of time, let alone in Auntie's room, there are still many people hiding outside our yard. Few people are secretly staring at Auntie."

Nanny Han lowered her voice and said, "The old man doesn't believe in Auntie anymore, and he is trying to find out about Auntie. If Auntie is going against the county magistrate at this time, what will the third young master do?"

"The eldest brother and the second have fallen. Seeing that the third young master can take charge of the Zou family, such a thing happened. For the current plan, we can only abandon the Lu family and keep the third young master. You must know that my aunt is relying on the third young master. , Only when the third young master is well, can my aunt live a good life."

And she can have a good life.

Aunt Lu hesitated: "But, that's my father."

"So what if I'm Auntie's father?" Zou Yuzhen pushed the door open and walked in. After turning around and closing the door, he walked up to Aunt Lu, knelt down and said, "Auntie, please take pity on your poor son, please help him, my son can't have a son." Grandfather of fugitive slaves."

"My son will be tested for merit in the future. If there is a grandfather who is a fugitive slave, even if he can pass the scientific examination, he will be laughed at by the same candidates in the same subject. This is a stain on the son's life, and this stain cannot be left!"

can't stay...

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

Zou Yuzhen looked at Nanny Han.

Nanny Han understood, and whispered, "Auntie, it will take ten days to send back the booklet of slave registration in Jinling Mansion. Usually, the thumb of the left hand is used to press the fingerprint, as long as..."

Nanny Han whispered a few words to Aunt Lu, and Aunt Lu turned pale with fright, tears streaming down her cheeks: "You, you are going...to die tragically."

Nanny Han said: "Auntie, what a tragic death, Mr. Lu calls it a death to prove his innocence. If this is done, the county magistrate Xu will not only convict the Lu family of fleeing slaves, but also be punished for the crime of neglecting human life." , when he wants to be promoted, it will not be so easy."

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

Once Mr. Lu died, he left behind a blood book, and they took the blood book to Fucheng to appeal for grievances. Not only could they escape the catastrophe, but they could also bite the county magistrate Xu and county captain Jiang back.

Aunt Lu was moved, taking advantage of her consent, Nanny Han hurriedly took a bag of silver, went to the kitchen to pick up a box of food, and went to the county government prison to visit Mr. Lu.
