Chapter 2076 Back to the Inn
Upon learning that the little girl was disliked by her mother and beaten by her drunken father, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang were shocked and felt a little sympathetic. They glared at Zhao Dachuan fiercely.
"As a father, you have failed miserably. Today, we will take Yuanyuan away. If you come here, be careful of your life."
After saying that, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang no longer paid attention to the two people in the room, and directly took Yuanyuan, whose face was covered with tears and trembling, back to the inn.
After they returned to the inn, Yuanyuan rested for a long time before she recovered from her fear. Knowing that she was taken in by Chen Changli and Wan Shufang, she felt a sense of peace in her heart and finally broke down and cried.
Looking at the little kid who suddenly started crying again, Wan Shufang was a little at a loss. Although she was the mother of several children, the children had long been beyond the need for coaxing. Now it was a little tricky to coax a child.
I could only hold her gently in my arms and comfort her softly: "Yuanyuan, don't cry. It's safe now. Your father won't come after you."
"Aunt, Yuanyuan knows, I'm just too happy, finally...finally I don't have to be beaten." Little Yuanyuan cried and grabbed Wan Shufang's sleeves with her little hands: "Aunt, please, save my mother."
"No, no, mother is dead. Help Yuanyuan. Yuanyuan wants to avenge mother."
Seeing the little girl's pleading eyes, Wan Shufang's face darkened: "What happened to your mother?"
"The aunt in the temple... the aunt in the temple was not my mother, but my aunt. My father favored my aunt, and my mother was killed by them."
Hearing this, Wan Shufang showed no shock on her face. She had overheard these secrets just now outside the temple.
She originally thought that the little girl refused to call her stepmother "mother" because that woman had beaten her, but she didn't expect that there was actually a blood feud between them.
Seeing that the little girl was almost fainting from crying, Wan Shufang was worried that she would really faint, so she quickly agreed: "Okay, don't cry, auntie will take care of this matter for you and give your mother justice."
After she finished speaking, she raised her head and looked at Chen Changli. The emotion in her eyes was self-evident. Chen Changli nodded and said, "We will report to the police later and investigate this matter."
After all, they had just arrived in Shu and were unfamiliar with the place. If they wanted to stand up for Yuanyuan, they had to report the case to the authorities.
After Yuanyuan got Wan Shufang's promise, maybe because she was tired of crying, she leaned in her arms and fell asleep unknowingly.
After everyone fell asleep, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang left two secret guards to protect her, and then went to the government office. In order to achieve a quick victory, Chen Changli directly stated his identity and asked to see the county magistrate.
The government gatekeeper saw Chen Changli's token and hurried inside to report. Soon, the county magistrate came out to greet him personally, his old face full of smiles.
"Your Excellency, Madam, I have long heard of your great name. I did not know you two were coming, and I failed to greet you in person. I am truly guilty of this. Please forgive me." He bowed and apologized. With the status of Chen Changli and Wan Shufang, they should be treated like this wherever they go.
Chen Changli and Wan Shufang were already accustomed to this, so they just nodded and followed the county magistrate into the government office.
"Mr. County Magistrate, we are here today because we need help from the government office."
"Please tell me, sir. I will do my best."
"It's like this. There is a little girl named Yuanyuan in the town. Her father is Zhao Dachuan and her mother is Su Yuehua. But Su Yuehua disappeared for no reason and Zhao Dachuan remarried. The two have been abusing Yuanyuan and are suspected of murdering Su Yuehua."
As soon as these words came out, the county magistrate's face changed instantly, like a palette, colorful and very interesting. He forced a smile and said calmly: "I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding about this matter."
"But rest assured, sir. I will send someone to investigate right away and will resolve the matter fairly and strictly."
After expressing his determination and seeing Chen Changli nod, he summoned the guards and sent someone to investigate.
Seeing that their goal had been achieved, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang did not stay in the county magistrate's mansion for long and left directly back to the inn.
However, the next day.
When the bailiffs arrived at the temple, the woman actually took out a household registration document and cried, "Sir, we are good people, you can't wrongly accuse us."
"My name is Su Yueshuang, and I'm Su Yuehua's twin sister. I was abandoned by my husband's family because I was ill." When she said this, she coughed a few times symbolically, looking weak.
"I am a weak woman who has been stranded here, and I came to seek refuge with my sister. I don't know where my sister has gone, but I definitely didn't kill anyone."
Su Yueshuang's eyes were burning, and she was almost about to raise her hand to swear. The documents in her hand were also taken away by the soldiers. After verification, everything was just as Su Yueshuang said, and the government had no choice but to let her go.
He returned the document to Su Yueshuang and said in a serious tone: "There is no problem with the document, you can go."
"Thank you, thank you, sir."
On the other hand, Zhao Dachuan found out where Chen Changli and Wan Shufang lived, and immediately came to their house, blocking the door of the inn to ask for his daughter. A grown man, at this moment, cried so loudly that it was earth-shattering and heart-wrenching.
"Oh, the charlatan is robbing people. He's robbing my poor daughter."
"I only have this one daughter, so just give her back to me." He seemed to want to rush into the inn, but was stopped by the waiter and could not enter. He could only curse at the people on the second floor.
"You two bastards who are trying to steal someone's life, come out if you can!"
The angry curses soared into the sky, and also aroused the curiosity of the surrounding people, who came over to watch. At this moment, in the inn, Yuanyuan was so scared that she shrank into Wan Shufang's arms.
"Aunt, I'm afraid..."
Zhao Dachuan's voice outside continued. Seeing more and more people coming, his eyes rolled and he immediately showed a bitter face.
"My fellow villagers, yesterday two men suddenly broke into my house, pointed a sword at my neck, and took away my daughter, Yuanyuan, my poor Yuanyuan. Your father will take you home today no matter what!"
As Zhao Dachuan spoke, he pointed to his neck, where there was a sword wound that was almost healed, but it was enough to prove that he was not lying.
Suddenly, the people were shocked and started pointing at the inn.
"You kidnapped someone's daughter and are still so arrogant. Don't the government care?"
"Maybe it's a noble, officials protecting each other, this kind of thing is too common."
"No matter who it is, it is unreasonable for them to snatch someone's daughter away. This world is really going downhill."
"The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds, not to mention the criminals, which is really disgusting."
Led by Zhao Dachuan, the people were so angry that they kept insulting Chen Changli and Wan Shufang. There was chaos at the entrance of the inn, and some people even cursed the government.
Seeing the excitement outside, Yuanyuan's little face was full of fear. She seemed to remember the way Zhao Dachuan hit her, and she cried in fear.
Zhao Dachuan continued to curse, his voice getting louder and louder. Some people who were not aware of the situation actually thought that Chen Changli and Wan Shufang had done something against the law of nature, and they followed suit and cursed, demanding that they return the child to Zhao Dachuan.
