Chapter 29： The Loveless Scholar Who Abandoned His Wife and Son 7

When Xie Hui learned about Qi Niang's current miserable situation from the system, it happened to be the fifth day of the old lady and Xie Fu. Throwing a piece of incense paper in his hand into the brazier, he lowered his eyes slightly to hide the thoughts in his eyes.

The five-year-old human cub Xu Fenghe thought that Master was sad, and patted Xie Hui's back clumsily with his small hands.

"Master, don't be sad."

Xie Hui hummed lightly, turned his head and glanced at Xu Fenghe's father who was guarding the door, and asked him to take the child back.

Now that the weather is cold and the child is weak, it's okay to insist on staying here with me during the day, it's better to let her go back to rest earlier at night.

Li Shu and Xie Mo also came back, and waited until the end of this place, before going to live in the house at the head of the village after nightfall.

Perhaps it was because she knelt for too long during the day, Li Shu didn't use much for dinner, so she went back to her room early to sleep.

When Xie Hui was about to go back to his room, he accidentally found a familiar person sitting in the yard. He walked over to see Xie Mo sitting on the stone bench, and asked:

"What's the matter? Why don't you rest at this late hour?"

Xie Mo, who has matured a lot after getting married, is now lying on the stone table with a confused look on his face.

Since Dad moved in, the yard has been full of medicinal herbs, and Dad has a medicinal smell, which is very special, which gradually relaxes Xie Mo's tense nerves.

"Father, I always feel that I can't tell right from wrong in this matter, and I can't figure out many things."

For such a big son, Xie Hui seldom talked with him heart-to-heart, and in addition, the way of expressing feelings in this era tends to be restrained, so Xie Hui can only relieve him at this time.

"Where did you say that?"

"Qi Niang was indeed implicated by her father, and she was not wrong... The reason why the Holy Majesty treats slaves so harshly must be to deter others."

Xie Mo is now a Juren, Master Li taught him to be very careful before, now after he became his son-in-law, he even told him a lot about the officialdom, it is natural to speculate on the Holy Majesty's thoughts.

"Before, Niang Qi was indeed a slave, but after she married my uncle, shouldn't my uncle treat her as his wife? Shouldn't his wife be treated with respect?"

"My uncle bullied his wife and treated his wife like a beast. It's my uncle's fault first, but I always feel that...my uncle deserves to die."

Xie Hui looked at him under the moonlight with a rare confused and youthful look, reaching out to pinch his hair like a little apprentice.

Originally, Xie Mo's doubts were completely disturbed by his father's action.

"Father, my son is not five years old."

Xie Hui put his hands back behind his back, pinching the little doll's Baotou seems to be...a bit addictive, he cleared his mouth and said:

"Aside from that, is there anything else?"

Xie Mo nodded slightly, and continued:

"Also, did my aunt kill my uncle and grandmother just to build a dam? Master taught me that everyone should be responsible for their words and deeds. Why is it more tolerant to treat slaves than ordinary people?"

Xie Hui waited patiently for him to finish before sitting down on the stone bench and explaining to him one by one.

"She is the daughter of the corrupt official. This is the original sin. You only know Qi Niang, so you don't understand it. Because she is the daughter of a corrupt official and lived a luxurious life since she was a child, that's why she is like this."

"Qi Niang's half-brother's sons and daughters, who are not valued, didn't cost his father much money, and being called slaves is no different from ordinary slaves."

No matter how much it took, how much sin would be atonement after the incident was exposed. The Holy Majesty spent a full year to clearly stipulate the numerous punishments for slaves.

"Your grandmother spoiled your uncle too much and didn't teach him well. Those things are indeed wrong of your uncle. No matter whether you are a prince or minister or whatever, you must remember to teach your child well."

When mentioning the child, Xie Mo's face became hot, and he nodded slightly.

"Son remembers."

"The Holy One treats slaves more tolerantly than ordinary people."

This sentence made Xie Mo's doubts even worse, and he asked subconsciously:

"But ordinary people have to pay for killing people, why are slaves just doing hard work?"

The bright moonlight fell on the treetops, and there was the sound of birds in the forest. Xie Hui tapped the table with his index finger, and replied with a low laugh:

"If you want to be an official, you must memorize the law. If a slave commits a crime, the embankment will be built to offset the sin of being a slave, and then, as an ordinary person, he will be executed according to the law for what he committed."

Xie Hui is a little curious about the emperor in this world. If he is lucky enough, he even wants to meet him. These laws about slaves can't wait to squeeze out the last bit of value from people.

"Is there still this rule?"

Xie Mo was completely stunned. After thinking about it carefully, he really didn't have a deep understanding of the law, and he spent more time studying.

"nature."

After explaining clearly to him, Xie Hui stood up, told him to rest earlier, and left space for Xie Mo to think carefully.

As for him... Well, it's better to go to bed early and get up early.

When he first performed the mission, Xie Hui thought it was fulfilling his dream of time travel. But at the beginning of the time travel to ancient times, the most important thing to overcome was that there were no entertainment measures, and it was boring enough to grow mushrooms.

Fortunately, after coming to so many worlds, I gradually got used to falling asleep earlier in ancient times.

Because Li Shu has been living in the county with her husband since she got married, she feels a little guilty and uneasy. Although she has no mother-in-law, since she is married to her husband, she should treat her father-in-law as a daughter-in-law.

Although Xie Hui felt that he didn't really want it, he couldn't refuse her kindness.

Li Shu had also heard from Xianggong before that the father-in-law had taken in a young apprentice, Xu Fenghe was young but was drying medicinal herbs in the yard, with a serious look on his chubby little face, which Li Shu liked very much.

In the afternoon, Xie went back to the other side of the village to see a doctor for the patient he had seen before. Because it was too far away, he left Xu Fenghe at home.

When the sun was about to sink into the mountains, he happened to bump into a few people at the head of the village when he came back. Coincidentally, his daughter-in-law was also there.

Xie Hui was carrying the medicine box. He had no intention of eavesdropping on what others were saying, but there was only one road in the village, so no matter how hard he tried to hide, he overheard a few words.

One of them mentioned that Xie Fu invited the elders of the clan to let Xie Mo marry the slave.

Li Shu's reaction made Xie Hui somewhat exceptional.

She said she didn't believe it with a good attitude, she believed in Xie Mo, turned around and led Xu Fenghe to the village.

Xie Hui didn't want to encounter such an embarrassing thing, he went back after a long time, but who would have thought that when he went back, he happened to meet Li Shu and Xie Mo talking about this in the yard.

If we only talk about personality, Xie Hui thinks that Li Shu is more sober and rational than the Qi Niang who really crossed over.

In many cases, the modern people who have traveled here may not be much better than the people who originally lived in this era. Most of the gap is due to the different education they received.

During the period of mourning, Xie Hui did not leave Xie Mo at home, instead, according to Master Li's suggestion, he gave him a bank note and asked him to go out for a walk and learn more.

With Mrs. Li's permission, Li Shu also accompanied Xie Mo, who happened to come back years ago, and was able to visit Li Shu's grandfather's house on the way.

Not long after they left, the system took the initiative to sound a reminder, and Qi Niang actually started bouncing again.

The fourth prince who came here for inspection met her and fell in love with her at first sight. When the embankment was completed and the slaves were executed, he bought a slave as a substitute to die in Qi Niang's place, and then brought the real Qi Niang back. the capital.

When Xie Hui heard the news, he shook his hand and destroyed a prescription that had just been written. Xu Fenghe, who was next to him, reached out to remove the paper and replaced it with a new one.

Xie Huizheng was worried about how to deal with the male protagonist in the plot before, but now it is just right.

From the point of view of the fourth prince, it is normal for him to be dissatisfied with his wife's ex-husband. His connivance made his subordinates wanton, which directly harmed Xie Mo, and the punishment was not painful.

From Xie Hui's point of view, of course he would not be merciless to those who harmed his son in the previous life.

Before, I still thought that it was difficult for the high-ranking prince to deal with it, but now it is not necessarily the case. As a prince, but getting close to slaves is simply digging his own grave.

Time flies, and after the filial piety period, after waiting for a while, it was finally time to go to the capital to catch up for the exam.

This time Li Shu did not go with her. She was pregnant and it was still the first three months.

In the past few years, Li Shu has been refreshing Xie Hui's cognition.

After returning from the outside, she discussed with Xie Mo and Master Li to set up a school in the county town, where she would teach the girls, and the fees were extremely low.

Even though most of the parents who want to send their children here are looking at Mrs. Li's face, and if their daughters are literate, it will be beneficial in marriage, it is not a violation of Li Shu's original idea.

As an elder, Xie Hui wouldn't mind his own business if they hadn't gone astray.

He saw that Li Shu wanted those children to be wise after studying, so he returned a lot of money so that her loss-making school could continue to operate.

Because their small county is far away from the capital, Xie Mo went there two months in advance, and after the end, he had to stay in the capital to wait for the results, which took a long time.

Li Shu was quite able to sit still. In the first few months, she was still teaching those students in the school.

Nowadays, most people are afraid that a male master will ruin their daughter's reputation, but when they heard that the master of the school is Li Shu, they have no worries.

According to Li Shu's plan, she first taught some homeless beggars, and after teaching them well, she would hire them with money to teach others.

She knows that her strength is weak, and she only wants to use her weak strength to do the best within her power.

Fortunately, her parents are open-minded, and both her father-in-law and husband are willing to support her.

Xie Hui stayed in the country yard drying herbs all day long, and occasionally took a group of apprentices to go out to see a doctor. In the past few years, he picked up a lot of human cubs and came back.

He had also studied medical skills before, but the medical system in each world was similar, and a little bit was enough for him to study for a long time.

Until one day, when Xie went back to the county town to buy medicinal materials, he went to visit Li Shu by the way, intending to take her pulse to see how she was doing.

At this moment, the servant at home ran in excitedly, and raised his voice:

"The county magistrate sent someone over!"
