Yang Ling rubbed his nose and returned to his chair to sit. He was extremely bored, and he suddenly recalled what had happened today. He quickly rummaged through his bookcase. The thick " Great Ming Law " was indeed among them, and he picked it up to read it carefully.
As Yang Ling was flipping through the lawsuit regulations, Young Miss Han brought over a cup of steaming hot tea. Yang Ling couldn't help but cover the cup and sigh."The men in the feudal society are really manly. How can they enjoy such treatment in the modern society?”
Back then, the working hours of ordinary shops weren't as tight as they were now. They took a long break at noon, and they only resumed work at around two in the afternoon in modern times. So Yang Ling drank hot water and flipped through a book while Young Lady Han sat on the edge of the brick bed and did her needlework.
Her fingers nimbly made a knot on the needle and thread. She licked the thread with the tip of her tongue and passed it through the needle. She placed one leg on the brick bed and carefully sewed the clothes. Occasionally, she would gently glance at her husband who was focused on flipping through the book.
Yang Ling flipped through the book for a while and pondered over it carefully, but he still couldn't find any regulations that were beneficial to Maang. It seemed that he would have to rely on the high-sounding Taiji Fist that he had learned from the later generations, which would harm others and benefit himself.
He raised his head and let out a long sigh. He happened to see Young Miss Han bringing the cotton robe to the corner of her mouth. She bit off the thread with her teeth, but her eyes were looking at him sweetly. When she met his eyes, she immediately looked away in panic.
Looking at this beautiful girl who was only fifteen or sixteen years old and had the appearance of a little woman, even though Yang Ling had decided to only treat her as an amiable and cute little sister, he still couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat. This kind of warm feeling was something he had never experienced in his nine reincarnations. With such a gentle and considerate wife, the pace of his life was slow and leisurely. Wasn't this the life he had dreamed of? Wasn't this the warmth that he had painstakingly pursued and should cherish?
Han Yuniang lowered her head and took the needle and thread. She sensed that the man had been looking at her, and she couldn't help but panic. Her hands were in a mess, and with a " Aiya " sound, the needle pierced her finger. Yang Ling quickly put down the Law of Ming and grabbed her small hand. A drop of blood seeped out of his index finger.
Yang Ling looked around, and he finally understood why the ancient people had to suck their tongues when their fingers were pricked. It wasn't that they knew that saliva could be used to disinfect the blood, but that there was nothing that could be used to wipe away the blood stains. They couldn't possibly use their clothes to wipe away the blood stains, right? So, he followed her example and placed her finger in his mouth, sucking it gently. As soon as the tip of his tongue touched her finger, Han Youniang's body trembled violently, and her face instantly turned red and hot.
" Look at you," Yang Ling said, annoyed." You were working outside in the morning. Why aren't you resting at home? What are you doing?"”
Han Youniang lowered her eyelashes and obediently let him gently press her fingers. She timidly said," It's almost the new year and you still don't have a decent robe. I thought that you're someone with status and wouldn't be a joke if you went out like this, so I rushed to make you a new robe."
Yang Ling sighed. The longer they spent together, the more he felt that he owed her a lot. The heartache he felt was as if he had owed her for countless lifetimes. He clenched his hands wordlessly, and his deep affection spread to their entire body and mind.
Yang Ling gently caressed the little hand of this fifteen-year-old girl, feeling a myriad of emotions in his heart. She should still be at the age of carrying a schoolbag to school, but she had already become a gentle and virtuous wife. This evil old society was truly touching.
The law of the Ming Dynasty stipulated that a woman should marry at the age of sixteen, but few people followed it. Some of the laws of the Ming Dynasty were very strict, and they could easily be executed. However, the government turned a blind eye to this law, as if they did not see it.
After massaging his fingers for a while, Yang Ling estimated that they wouldn't bleed anymore. He then gently pinched his fingers and smiled."Alright, does it still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt!" Her voice was very seductive, and Yang Ling realized that her eyelids were slightly lowered, her expression was bashful, and there was a sweet smile on the corner of her lips. Her beautiful and tender face had an extremely gentle and quiet temperament, a demeanor that only mature women would show when facing their loved ones.
That kind of gentle temperament was something that she had never shown before. It was the kind of gentle temperament that a woman had. Outside the house, snowflakes fell without a trace. Young Madam Han felt very safe. The love she felt for him rippled in her heart. The pain and sorrow that she had suffered for more than half a year seemed to have left her at this moment.
Yang Ling couldn't help but be mesmerized by the sight. He stared at each other in a daze for a long time, and the quiet and sweet atmosphere was finally broken by a loud shout from outside the door. He heard a man's voice shouting from outside,""Does Young Master Yang Ling live here?”。
" Ah!" Young Lady Han cried out and woke up from her intoxication. She quickly retracted her hand. Yang Ling smiled and turned around to walk to the door to open it. The snowflakes drifted in the wind, and it was already dark outside when he returned to eat.
Yang Ling took a look and saw two bailiffs standing outside the door with their hands on their knives. They were already covered in a thick layer of snow. Behind them was a young lady wearing a white cloak and holding a yellow umbrella in her hand. The top of the cloak was a fox scarf with white velvet around her neck, revealing only a delicate face that was as pure as a lotus flower. She looked like a fairy in the snow.
These two officers were the ones who had locked Ma Ang up and brought him to the yamen, so they recognized Yang Ling. Seeing that it was indeed him who had opened the door, they quickly cupped their hands and said,""Hehe, it's indeed Scholar Yang. This lowly one greets you. This lowly one is under the orders of County Head Min to escort Miss Ma to see you."
Yang Ling quickly opened the door and said,"Brothers, please come in." Ah! Miss Ma, please come in."
Ma Lian 'er smiled brightly, revealing two charming dimples on her cheeks. She tightened her cloak and stepped in first. Two bailiffs followed him into the house and closed the door behind them.
The small room was crowded with five people. Ma Lian 'er pulled the belt under her chin and untied her snow-white cloak. Her bright eyes turned and saw the petite Han Youniang. She couldn't help but smile sweetly."This girl is Brother Yang, is she your little sister?”
Seeing that it was a beauty who was more beautiful than Hua Jieyu, Han Youniang's big black eyes were full of vigilance. Hearing that she was her husband's sister, she was immediately displeased. However, her husband did not say anything, so she did not speak up.
Yang Ling smiled awkwardly, feeling a sense of guilt as if he had destroyed the young seedlings of his country. He stuttered," Uh, she's mine. This is my wife."
A hint of pride flashed in Young Miss Han's eyes. She looked at Ma Lian 'er as if she was showing off her power, bowed slightly, and said softly,"Husband, who is this young lady?"
Yang Ling quickly said,"This Miss Ma is the Second Miss of the Deputy Ma. She and her two brothers have something to discuss with me."
Ma Lian 'er said with some surprise,"So Brother Yang already has a family. Ma Lian' er greets Madam Yang."
Young Miss Han hurriedly said," Miss, you don't have to be so polite. Please sit down. Please sit down, brothers."
There were only two chairs in the room, so the two officers could only sit on the kang. Yang Ling had just moved in not long ago, and his conditions were limited. He usually only drank tea in large bowls. Young Miss Han swiftly took out four bowls and brewed tea. The two servants naturally thanked him profusely.
County Magistrate Min had already sent someone to investigate the matter of the musical instrument shop, the Wang family. Lord Ma cared about his son. Although Lord Min took care of him, he was afraid that there would be something wrong in prison in this cold winter. Miss Ma was also worried about her brother, so she urged County Magistrate Min to send two people in charge of investigating the Wang family to the Yang family.
After listening to the two policemen explain the situation of the Wang Clan, Yang Ling thought about it carefully. He felt that he could not find any loopholes in the " Great Law " that could help Ma Ang get away with his crime. The only thing he was good at was the " delay " tactic of insurance claims. He just did not know if it could be used, so he uneasily told them his idea.
Miss Ma did not know if this method would work. She looked at the two yamen guards. Big Li, who had a mouth full of yellow teeth, slapped his thigh and praised," Brilliant, what a good strategy of dragging the knife. A blunt knife cuts flesh, inch by inch. Hehe, the county lord handled the case impartially and did nothing wrong. The Wang family can't find any fault. If he can be relied on, this lawsuit will definitely destroy his family."
The other older one was the class head, surnamed Wu. He was not as delighted as Big Li, but he smiled slightly and said,"Although Young Master Yang is still young, he is indeed proficient in the law and is full of wisdom. Even a top class litigation master might not be able to come up with such a brilliant plan. If he were to act according to his plan, I'm afraid that the victims of the Wang Family would rush to withdraw the lawsuit and close the case. However, if they don't know what's good for them, Young Master Ma will inevitably have to stay in prison for a longer time."
Miss Ma couldn't help but smile when she heard them agree. After listening to Captain Wu's last words, she couldn't help but hesitate. She bit her lip and thought for a moment before sighing," In the end, that was a human life. Speaking of which, it would be rare if he could enter prison safely even if he only stayed in prison for a few more days. Older Brother is usually rude and rash, so it would be good if he suffered some setbacks."
Yang Ling gained the approval of the two bailiffs, and his courage was boosted. His brain also became active, and he said slowly,""Although this plan can delay the Wang family to withdraw the lawsuit, save Young Master Ma's life, and not cause County Head Min's reputation to be damaged, if the Wang family can't swallow this anger, they can drag it out for a year and a half. Therefore, I have another plan, Miss Ma."
He moved closer and covered his mouth with his hand as he whispered a few words to Ma Lian 'er. Hearing this, Ma Lian' er glanced at him with a faint smile and said sweetly," As expected of a scholar. What a good plan."
Her glance was extremely charming, and the flirtatious look that she had revealed in that instant made Yang Ling's gaze freeze. Ma Lian 'er noticed it, and her delicate face couldn't help but turn slightly red. Young Lady Han, who had been paying attention to the two of them, suddenly felt a little jealous.
