Chapter 1068: A Generous Purse
Chapter 1068: A Generous Purse
"I understand. I know nothing. I didn't see anything." The old doctor said seriously.
He didn't see anything himself, he just came over to take the person's pulse.
And Chen is not in any serious condition now.
But something big must have happened for such a happy day to turn out like this.
Even though he was a doctor, he didn't dare to say anything. He quickly prescribed the medicine, put on his medicine box and went out.
Tan Qingyun told the maid to take good care of his wife and then he left.
He still has a lot of important things to do.
He walked into the woodshed and saw the housekeeper's family.
The butler saw that the master had finally come in person.
"Master, I was wrong, I was wrong. You can ask me to do whatever you want, but can you please let my family go? They are all innocent, they know nothing." The housekeeper burst into tears.
The butler has always been decisive.
Now this attitude makes people feel very bad.
"You did something wrong. They are your family and should be punished with you. Find a reason for me to let them go." Tan Qingyun looked at this incompetent butler who ruined his plans.
Even if you kill him 100 times, it won't pass.
"Please, Master. I didn't do it on purpose. I have been with you for so many years and have worked hard for you. Even if I have no merit, I have worked hard. Please let my family go. They are innocent and can continue to work for the Tan family. They can work for you. Please send them to a faraway farm and let them do the most tiring and difficult work. Please give them a chance to live."
The housekeeper's biggest worry is that the children will be implicated.
He caused the master to lose too much money this time.
The master invested tens of thousands of taels of silver.
The master is not well off now.
Because of his poor performance, the Tan family almost went bankrupt, and he, as the housekeeper, could not escape the blame.
"You are right. Since you have followed me for so many years, you and your family should go to the farm together! I cannot bear to kill you. However, the death penalty can be spared, but the living crime cannot be escaped. The housekeeper will be punished with 30 strokes of the cane. The other adults will be punished with 20 strokes each. Forget about the children. Let them watch from the side. They should be smarter after knowing the consequences of doing wrong things."
Tan Qingyun felt that there was a chance of improvement this time, so he did not harm the child and gave the housekeeper some respect.
"Thank you sir, thank you sir."
All the family members, both adults and children, kowtowed.
They all thought they were dead.
What the housekeeper did caused the Tan family to lose so much.
Even if they were all beaten to death, they, the servants, would have nowhere to seek justice.
They were all slaves and no one cared about them.
-
Early the next morning, Tan Qingyun went to the county lord's mansion with his guards.
How could they wait until noon to come?
He was worried that he would arrive too late and the county lord would not see him again.
Gu Yao slept until she woke up naturally, and the sun was already high in the sky outside.
"What time is it?" Gu Yao felt that it was already noon and time for lunch.
"It's already noon. Tan Qingyun's carriage is waiting outside. Let them in whenever you see them." Tiantian gave an appropriate reminder.
Gu Yao had just woken up in a daze. When he heard what Tiantian said, he slapped his forehead and said, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have remembered it. It is true. But their family wants me to take action. I'll beat them to a pulp."
"Miss, don't be anxious. People are begging you to do something. Just let it sit for a while. Our young lady is not someone who can be bullied by anyone. I get angry when I think about how the Tan family bullied my young lady before." Tiantian said with a pout.
"Now that Tan Qingyun has come here in person, he must be here for reconciliation. If the benefits are great, there will be no problem at all. We're making money, so why not do it?" Gu Yao shrugged.
As long as the benefits are enough, he will do it.
After all, it is impossible to go against interests.
Even Gu Yao, who has neither fame nor fortune, will still do many things for the sake of profit.
When you are in a situation, you have to be pushed to keep moving forward.
"Miss, can you and Miss Tan still be friends in the future?" Tiantian was young. Although she understood a lot of things, she didn't understand Miss's opinion.
"We were friends before, but it's hard to say now. Now we can only say that we are a community of interests. This is based on the premise that the Tan family can cooperate according to my requirements." If they can't cooperate.
Maybe I won’t have the chance to meet Tan Xiaomei again in the future.
After all, Tan Xiaomei is a girl, and there are many restrictions when she goes out.
She is different, she is a widow.
He doesn't care about other people's opinions. He can do what he wants to do and meet who he wants to meet.
"Then I understand. I will know how to treat him when I see him next time." Tiantian takes the young lady's will as his own, and treats him the same way as the young lady treats him.
Gu Yao didn't hesitate.
I got dressed and packed up, put on some simple makeup, and had some snacks.
Ask him to ask someone to invite Tan Qingyun to his home.
When Tan Qingyun and his friends arrived, they had already greeted the concierge. Er Gouzi asked them to wait at the door until noon.
Fortunately, the weather is relatively cool now, and even when the sun is high in the sky it is neither too hot nor too cold.
This allowed Tan Qingyun to stay in the carriage.
Ergouzi opened the door. The guard guarding the carriage saw Ergouzi coming out and told the master in the carriage to open the door.
"Is Mr. Tan still here? My county princess is free now. She can come in." Ergouzi shouted towards the door.
After hearing the sound, Tan Qingyun jumped off the carriage.
"Yes, yes, yes, yes." Mr. Tan laughed and there was no unhappiness on his face.
But I had already started cursing in my heart.
He had been kept waiting for the entire morning. It was already midday, long past noon.
"Mr. Tan, please come in." Er Gouzi opened the door and invited the person in.
The guard took out a bag of change from his sleeve and threw it to the doorman Ergouzi.
This is the second time I’ve given Ergouzi money today.
Er Gouzi took it with a smile.
During this period, the family that Ergouzi received the most money from was the Tan family.
When they come to ask for help from their county lady, she is willing to give them money.
The lowest level has never dropped more than once.
Tan Qingyun walked into the living room and saw Gu Yao sitting on the upper floor.
He had never taken this woman seriously before.
Unexpectedly, she has now become a popular county lord.
Others regarded her as a miracle doctor, but she had only treated a plague in southern Xinjiang once.
Many dignitaries in the capital city came to see Gu Yao for medical treatment.
I haven't heard any news about it. Who did he go to see?
