Su Zhi followed the constable and quickly arrived at the yamen. Sure enough, she saw a young man rolling up his sleeves and swinging at a large drum in front of the gate.

That person was wearing patched linen clothes and a pair of sewn cotton shoes. He was tired and was sweating profusely. He was even knocking non-stop. When he saw her walk over, his eyes were filled with hostility.

"Master Qing Tian, please make the decision!" "This commoner is Zhou Family of Qing He County's Zhou Family Village. My child was taken here by someone. Our family of three travelled thousands of miles just to find him and return justice to our family!"

Inside the hall, there was a woman around Su Zhi's age. Her clothes and skirt were all covered with marks of mending.

At this moment, he was kneeling in the center, crying his heart out.

Kneeling beside him was an old woman with a head full of white hair.

Su Zhi's temples suddenly jumped up. She didn't know what was going on.

"My lord, we have brought the criminal Su Zhi!"

The fat-headed and large-eared Zhixian slapped a wooden log, "Silence!"

"Kneel before the lord!"

She stood in a daze on the spot. The constable quickly launched an attack in an attempt to suppress her.

"Forget it, come on, look at the seats."

Zhixian still remembered when Lu Huan came back a few days ago, he said in a strange tone, "You know Yuxian right? Your nephew, Yu Zhanhong, was in trouble with Lady Su before, but do you know why you left her alone in the end? You still don't know that the person supporting that girl is the Great General Xiao, right? "

Naturally, there was also Lu Huan.

Although Yu Zhi County followed the Zhao Family's lead, they didn't dare to offend the Xiao Family and the Crown Prince.

This time, another person came to report to the government, especially since it was related to Lady Su. Yu Zhi County could not afford to eat the food that they worried about so early in the morning. This year had been bad for him. Why did he always encounter such things? He probably wouldn't be able to do it for more than a few days, spending money to buy the official seat from his uncle in the country.

"Milord, there is no need to be courteous. I have come here today to understand what is happening."

Without waiting for the county magistrate to speak again, the woman who knelt on the ground and sobbed silently rushed forward and grabbed Su Zhi, "It's you, right!?" You took my child! Give her back to me! "

Su Zhi frowned, unable to break free, she could only refute, "Big sis, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. When did I kidnap your child? I don't even know who your child is!"

The old granny who was by his side interrupted him and shouted: "You liar! Either you or your man did it! That damned husband of yours must be a hunter in Peace Village. That brat surnamed Nie died on the battlefield half a year ago! "

Mentioning Nie Rufeng, Su Zhi's eyebrows jumped as she stared at the old woman kneeling on the ground with a dark expression.

"You know my husband?"

"Pfft! Although I don't know her, I do know that your entire village has told us that Nie Rufeng took away my grandson's daughter!"

This time, Su Zhi understood that the child that they were talking about as having been kidnapped was Little Dou Zi.

It was true that Nie Rufeng had picked up that child, but he had only adopted it because he felt pity for her. When he saw that child, he didn't hear that her parents were still alive.

"Then, do you know that my husband found the Soybean Bag by the roadside? My family's A Jin often joked about this matter, saying that after her sister was abandoned, her father bought her half a bean bag. "

When they first met, the little girl was sitting on the muddy ground crying. Nie Rufeng came back from the market and saw that the child was pitiful. He took out one of the bean buns he bought for A Jin and gave it to her. Only then did the child stop crying and call him daddy sweetly.

During the wasteland disaster, there were countless children who had to be abandoned because they couldn't eat their fill. The bean dumpling was one of the children abandoned.

Hearing this, the young girl on the ground said in disbelief, "This is impossible! She is my daughter, how could I abandon her!"

Su Zhi laughed coldly, "I have to ask you. My husband never intended to meddle in other people's business, but that child followed him all the way." "The poor child was staggering, and there were wild dogs in the vicinity. He only adopted her because he was worried that his child would lose his life in the wolf's den."

The woman seemed to have suffered a heavy injury. She laid on the ground and only shook her head. Her gaze shifted to the old mistress at the side. She then turned her head to look at the man who was beating the drum again.

"What is it? Now that the child has been raised by me, do you remember her? "

Having known each other for so long, Su Zhi had long since treated Little Dou Bao as her own daughter. A family that abandoned their children, what qualifications did they have to take them back? No matter what, she would not agree to it!

"My lord, to be honest, the Soybean Pouch was not given to me by a commoner, but it was not given to me by someone else. That child was picked up by my late husband, who pitifully fed him. Now that my husband is no longer around, although we don't know the details, at least we have a point. The child was picked up and was not stolen. "

Yu Zhi County, who was sitting on the high horse, patted the wooden log and said impatiently, "Alright, alright, stop beating the drum. My lord, my ears are shaking like crazy!" He then pointed at the woman below and said, "Mrs. Zhou, did you abandon your child or not?"

The woman who was asked cried and shook her head, "How can that be? She's my first child. I don't even have enough time to feel heartache, how can I lose her?"

Su Zhi remained calm and said coldly, "Just because you haven't lost anything doesn't mean that others haven't done it. The children I raise are fine and don't need to worry about food and clothing. Why are you calling my mother? Where did you come from?"

"Nonsense! That child doesn't know how to talk! " The old mistress insisted.

"Oh? Can't speak? You know that? "

"Hmph, that little girl doesn't even know how to speak when she is just a boy of a couple of years old. She only knows how to make sounds when she is two years old. How could I not know?"

Su Zhi smirked. "You despised her for not being able to speak, so you abandoned her, right?"

Only then did the old woman shut up and realize that she had fallen into a trap.

Soybean indeed didn't speak very well, but it wasn't dumb or stuttering. It was just that it had sprouted too late and couldn't compare to a child of the same age.

"Is Lady Su right?" The county magistrate lowered his voice and scolded, "Do you blame your child for not being able to speak, thus deciding to lose her?"

"Not only that, but we're now arguing that we have a child." Su Zhi added fuel to the fire.

"No, no, no, I don't mind. Even if that child is mute, I won't mind. After all, she's the flesh that fell from my body!"

The woman who was kneeling on the ground grabbed Su Zhi's hand and cried, "I really never thought of abandoning her. Madam, give her back to me!"

Su Zhi frowned and withdrew her hand, replying coldly, "Too late, I consider that child to be my own. I won't return her to you. "Besides, you should take care of your own family matters first. Don't you have any points in your heart when it comes to getting rid of children?"

The Zhou Family Village and the An Village were both located in Qing He County. Although they were separated by a mountain, no news had spread out.

During the time that Nie Rufeng adopted the Soybean Pancake, he also inquired about which family lost their child. At that time, there was a drought. There was no harvest from the farmland, and many people had starved to death. Who would care about this little girl who would not even know how to speak?

Su Zhi could see clearly that the Yang family might not abandon their children this week, but this old woman might not. She turned around and glanced at the man kneeling behind her without uttering a single word. Her look of despise grew even deeper. Who knows, she might even have an accomplice.

Madame Zhou cried as she asked the old woman, "Mother, did you throw my child away?"

"Pfft, don't talk nonsense. Don't you also dislike the money losing goods that you gave birth to!"

"But I never thought of abandoning her!"

"Enough, speak less. Where is this place? How dare you be disrespectful to your mother! "

The three of them argued back and forth. Su Zhi only smiled coldly and didn't plan on letting them go.

She wouldn't return the child. They had been together for so long, even if it were a little kitten or a little dog, they would still have feelings for each other.

Besides, when the child returned, she doubted that the family would be able to keep her well.
