"Second uncle, what's wrong?" Lian Man'er asked in surprise when he saw He.

"This house, this house is not the one of your uncles and others! I have only recognized it in a long time from the backyard wall." He suddenly realized and looked into the wall with his feet raised.

It turned out that this house was the house where Lian Shouren and Gu and others once rented it. Lian Man'er couldn't help but look back at Lian Duo'er and thought, it was a coincidence that Lian Duo'er ran out and actually hid in the house where she had lived.

"Hey, who are you?" He asked the person who was leaning over from the wall.

It was a teenage boy dressed as a servant. He ignored He and asked the peddler: "Pretty Mr. Qian, what's going on?"

"What's going on? Why did our daughter betray our family's daughter here." He said, "I'll ask you who are you? Is this house yours?"

"It's our family, what's wrong?" the servant said.

"Oh, our Lian Duoer has lived here for several years. How can you not know her? You just hide her like this. You are in the same group as this peddler. You are the owner of the nest!" He jumped and said, "I've caught someone right now, and you can't escape."

The servant heard what was going on at this time, and was a little scared.

"You're talking nonsense. We never use the back door. We didn't know that the peddler Qian hid someone here." The servant defended.

"It's just a wall, you don't know if you don't know? When Duoer's father, the scholar, comes, you're good-looking." He said.

"You are the owner of this house. You must know Lian Xiucai from Sanshiliyingzi. A few days ago, the people from Sanshiliyingzi came to the town and looked for Lian Duoer everywhere, but you didn't know at all?" Lian Man'er also felt that it was very strange that the servant said he didn't know at all.

"We have heard of it. But we have never seen Lian Duoer." The servant saw Lian Man'er speaking calmly, just as Lian Man'er explained.

"My owner went out today. This house was rented by my owner from the original resident, even the Xiucai lady. When we came here, we only saw Xiucai lady, her eldest son and daughter-in-law, and never saw anyone else... Qian peddler came to sell goods from other places. If he wanted to rent a house, my owner rented the two houses in the corridor to him."

The servant pointed to a certain part on the wall again, letting Lian Man'er and He see it.

"It turns out there is a Taoist sect. Since I rented the house to Qian Cheunger, my master sealed the door. We didn't come back, so how could we know that he even kidnapped someone to hide here."

"Brother, I'm not abducting." The peddler Qian defended.

The servant was determined to clear his suspicion and did not care whether Lian Duoer was a kidnapped by Qian Gongwo.

"Did you rent this house from my sister-in-law?" He turned his eyes and asked. "My sister-in-law is Lian Xiucai's wife."

"Yes." The servant said affirmatively.

"She rented this house too, how can she rent it to you again?" He asked again.

"She showed my master the house deed. Isn't this house hers?" the servant said in surprise.

"You said she has a deed in her hand?" He asked, stretching his neck.

"If she didn't give up, why would my master rent her house?" the servant said.

He suddenly slapped his thigh and was about to say something when he heard the sound of a carriage coming from outside.

"What else are you looking at? Why don't you hide back quickly?" He said to the servant, "Why do someone come and catch you together later."

The servant just heard something behind and climbed the ladder curiously to see it. Now that he knew that this was the case, he was afraid of causing trouble, so he immediately retracted his head.

Why is He so kind? Lian Man'er thought, could it be that Lian Shouren and Gu had bought this house? Or their lease term had not reached, so they sublet it to others and collect a few rents to supplement it. However, no matter which one it is, the house or the rent should be from the public. He should have thought of this now.

Lian Man'er was thinking this way when she saw Lian Shouren and Gu clan quickly walking in from outside the gate, followed by Goro and Lian Jizu.

"Duoer, my Duoer..." Gu saw Lian Duoer as soon as he entered the door. She immediately rushed over, hugged Lian Duoer into her arms, and started crying loudly. Gu cried while scolding, saying that Lian Duoer was lost, how anxious she was, how could she not eat or sleep.

"...You have killed my mother." Gu cried.

Lian Duoer was a little resistant at first, but later he began to sob softly with Gu.

Qian mercenary saw all these things and lowered his head next to him.

"Where is that crook?" Lian Shouren asked while walking in.

"Here is him." Erlang pushed Qian Cheunger to Lian Shouren.

When Shouren saw Qian's peddler, his eyes turned red and he slapped Qian's peddler in the face.

"Where did the thief come from? How dare I take my daughter from Lian Xiucai?"

"Master Scholar, I, I'm not abducting..." Qian Gonglang was beaten and staggered and explained.

"You dare to say it's not abducting." Lian Shouren raised his kick again, kicked Qian peddler in the chest, kicked Qian peddler to the ground, and then stepped on Qian peddler.

While coughing, Qian peddler was still defending her. Lian Man'er was listening. According to Qian peddler's words, he said that he was walking on the road and met Lian Duoer. He saw Lian Duoer in a panic, and looked back while walking, as if he was afraid that someone would chase him. He asked Lian Duoer what was going on. Lian Duoer told him that she was sold to someone as a child bride by her parents. The family was not good to her and asked her to work all day long, but she didn't give her a full meal. This time, she accidentally smashed things while she was working, and the family wanted to beat her to death. She escaped while the family was not paying attention.

"...She begged me to save her. To be honest, the scholar said, my family has been poor since I was a child. I had a sister who was sold to someone as a child bride at the age of a few years. As a result, she was tortured to death in less than two years. When I saw her, I saw her like my own sister."

"When you walked into the town, no one was discovered?" Lian Man'er interrupted and asked. That day, everyone searched for Lian Duoer and almost asked, but no one said they had seen Lian Duoer. How was Lian Duoer taken to the town by this peddler but not discovered.

"I was carrying the load of goods at that time, so I moved the goods to one side, put her on the other side, covered it with the things, and carried it back to the town." Qian Cheung-woman replied.

So that's the case, no wonder no one saw Lian Duoer.

"You said you were not abducting, you were a good person. In those days, many people in our village came to find Lian Duoer, why didn't you hand over Lian Duoer?" Lian Man'er asked.

The peddler wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Lian Duoer who was hugged by Gu's arms.

"I heard of it, but you are looking for a daughter. I asked her and she said she was not looking for her. She is a child bride, and she is not called Lian Duoer, she is called He Xueer."

“Bad talk!”

Lian Shouren kicked Qian peddler again with anger.

Lian Duoer said nothing in Gu's arms.

"I dare to kidnap Lian Xiucai's daughter. I'll write a post now, Jizu, Erlang, you send this thief to the yamen and beat him half to death first. Then I say it's what I mean, this thief is extremely guilty and must be beheaded." Lian Shouren said loudly.

The peddler was shocked, "Scholar, please spare me, I'm not abducting me, Xueer, you say something."

Even Duoer lowered her head and didn't raise her eyelids.

When Qian Gonglang saw that Lian Duoer didn't speak, if he couldn't see what was going on at this time, he would be a fool.

"Scholar Master, please spare me. For these days, I will treat the lady respectfully, please spare me." Qian Gonglang kowtowed to Lian Shouren and beg for mercy.

Gu had wiped away his tears at this time. She looked at the two rooms, her face turned dark, and then pulled Lian Duoer aside. The mother and daughter said something in a low voice. Gu called Lian Shouren over again, and the couple discussed for a while.

Then Gu took Lian Duoer out. This time Gu still hired a carriage, so she took Lian Duoer into the carriage and left first.

"What a big air, let's find Lian Duoer for her, she doesn't even make a fart." He murmured in a low voice.

If Gu left like this, how would this peddler deal with it? Lian Man'er thought so, and Lian Shouren greeted Lian Jizu and Erlang.

"Call me, beat me to death." Lian Shouren pointed at Qian Zhuanglang.

Lian Jizu and Erlang came forward and punched and kicked Qian. Lian Jilang did not resist, but only held his head to protect the vitals. After a while, he was beaten and lay down on the ground.

Lian Shouren walked forward again and kicked Qian Cheunger.

"Don't pretend to be dead. You little thief, get out of Qingyang Town immediately. No, get out of Qingzhou Prefecture, or I will send you to the yamen to sentence you to a death sentence." Lian Shouren said to Qian Cheunger.

"Yes, yes, I'll leave right away." The peddler Qian responded repeatedly.

Lian Shouren just said that he had to send the peddler to the yamen, but now he had a fight and was about to drive it away. This should be the result of the discussion between Gu and Lian Shouren. This must be the reason for Lian Duoer's reputation. Because if the peddler was sent to the county yamen and the county magistrate asked, the peddler and Lian Duoer had been together for a few days alone, then Lian Duoer's reputation would be ruined.

Seeing Qian mercenary get up with difficulty and packing things, Lian Man'er and others walked out of the corner gate. Gu had already taken Lian Duoer in a carriage, so everyone had to walk back to the village.

"Erlang, follow your uncle and brother back." He walked not far away and stopped.

"Mom, aren't you going home?" Erlang said.

"Mom and I have something to do... Man'er, I want me to help you, you can go first." He waved his hand.

She asked He for help if she had something to do, so where did she start?
