When Qi Dalang and Qi Ercai arrived with the government officials, the Qi Family had already subdued all the kidnappers.
Aside from Qi Quanjin and Qi Sangui staying to help clean the scene and report back at the government office, everyone else escorted Yi Meng and Balang Jiulang back to the second courtyard.
Although Ji Hu and the others didn't help catch the kidnappers, they assisted in taking the captured children to the county government.
As for those women, they were tacitly forgotten by everyone.
Upon learning the children were safe, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Yi Meng stayed with her two sons all night without sleeping.
Mrs. Qi had the other daughters-in-law brew ginger tea and prepare dumplings to send to both courtyards, as a gesture of gratitude for everyone's help.
