且说方治忠的文书到了嘉兴，魏爷阅视，见内中批驳了花琼命案，重审确实。龙腾小说网ltxsba.com一面速查马孝侯之妻，乃是太子丈母。二件事情速即查明。嘉兴府道：“即查访郡太现在尼庵中住的，”便备了衣服使女，带同属官，一齐到庵中迎接，街坊上喧闹纷纷，都称赞马家如今做了皇亲。哪知郡太不肯到京，愿要在此安闲自祝各官只得另寻高大房屋，送了四名丫环，四个小使，晨昏服侍。然后行文禀知刑部，那魏爷见了刑部批驳花琼命案，心中欢喜。与江氏夫人说知：“如今孩儿有了救星，免做刀下之鬼。”
江氏道：“据相公这等说，孩儿性命无妨。那刑部文书却是怎么样说？”
魏爷道：“他批驳花琼命案，内中有冤抑不明事情，另再行确审，明白回覆。想起来我孩便有些解救，不致刀下一厄。”
江氏闻言，心中大喜，自不必言。再说魏烈那一天在书房静坐无聊，独自往街坊上面闲步游玩。从郡太后门经过，正行之间，不期被一只犬向腿上一口咬了就走。即时血流满脚，疼痛难忍。魏烈大怒，指骂谁家之狗，如此可恶。却值郡太使女在门首，看见是自家之狗，咬了魏二爷，连忙禀知郡太。郡太即请魏烈入内少坐。着小使延医看视，又去禀知魏老爷。魏老爷闻知，连忙讨轿子来接回衙，郡太挽留不肯与他回去，在书房养息。命小使好生服侍，魏烈只得住下。
过了五六日，伤痕已愈，辞别郡太。正要回衙，那郡太看见魏烈人才出众，心下虑道：“我看魏公子青年秀士，老身膝下无子息，日后何人承接马家宗祀？若得魏公子过继螟蛉，老身之幸也。只是此事不好出言，如今公子又要回去，我不免假意相送，到衙门与魏奶奶说知其事，若得应允，岂不美哉？”
主意定了，即吩咐安童备轿，魏公子骑马在后，竟往衙门而来。魏老闻知，回避在书房。江氏更换衣服，出来迎接。挽手同行，到如德堂见礼。坐定茶罢，江氏称谢道：“妾身何德，敢蒙郡太这等抬举看待小儿？”
郡太说：“此是我家恶犬伤了令郎，老身于心不安。蒙老爷不究，老身特来谢罪。”
江氏道：“郡太言重了，怎当得起？”
郡太又问说：“不知奶奶今年贵庚？几位令郎？”
江氏一时触动心事，流下泪来。郡太忙问道：“奶奶何故掉了泪来？”
江氏应道：“妾身年近四旬，膝下二子，长子十九，去年不幸一场大病，夭折而亡。目下单存此子，所以伤心。”
郡太道：“我看令郎举止端庄决成大器。日后定有高官显爵之荣；但是奶奶说的话，与令郎不相符，未知何故？我前日偶问令郎，他说现今有一亲兄，不在衙门，在家读书。奶奶为什么又说大令郎上年身故？到要请问个实情。”
江氏假意应说：“只因他兄弟二人，一向莫逆，相爱甚笃。同行同坐不离，所以得病身亡，不敢说明，恐孩儿忧恼。只得瞒说回家。”
那郡太满怀猜疑，又不好再言。一时着呆，愁容满面。江氏看见，问说：“郡太有何心事，顿生愁容？”
郡太把来意说明。江氏心里暗想：“今朝凑巧，难得贵人到此，看中我儿，要为螟蛉；况且他是个皇亲，后来富贵荣华，如在掌中。”
主意已定，便笑说：“既蒙郡太这般见爱，敢不从命。只恐小儿没福消受。”
说话之间，酒席完备，二人入席言谈酒罢，江氏又与魏老爷说知其事。老爷大喜，极口称使得。只是必须选一吉日方好。江氏即将魏老爷应允之言，要待选择吉日之事，与郡太说明。郡太欢喜，辞别回府。到了吉日，文武官员闻知，俱来两边送礼称贺。魏老爷备酒款待，郡太亦设盛筵相待。
厅堂之上，鼓乐喧天，这边魏老爷辞别。魏烈就在马家居祝这一日魏烈进内，看见郡太手中拈三炷香，对着幅小小丹青虔诚礼拜道：“恩人柳树春，我夫主有难在监，蒙你赠银相救，得免无事，此恩不敢有忘，奈无可为报，所以描就你形图一幅，小女在家，每日朝夕礼拜，以准答恩一般。哪晓得恩人如今遭此大难，无人可救。但愿苍天庇佑，神力扶持，若得恩人出得囹圄，我心方安。”
说罢而泣。魏烈在旁听得明白，走近前扶起：“母亲不要辛苦了，未知母亲拜的是什么图像？”
郡太道：“我儿，为娘的也不瞒你。去年有一个无赖之徒，叫做张三大，将你继父平空扳了窝贼，诬陷牢中。只须花银五十两，便保得无事。那时为娘的一贫如洗，无处措借。只得将你妹子抵卖银子五十两。多蒙这恩人柳树春，见赠银子五十两，就将此银为继父雪了大冤。你妹子无恩可报，只得描了恩人图像，朝夕焚香礼拜。今朝恩人犯下斩罪，监在牢中，不得脱网。为娘的搭救无门，只得虔诚愿苍天见怜神力保佑。”
魏烈闻言，便将胞兄代监之事细说一遍。郡太道：“你胞兄代监，也须设计摆布才好。”
魏烈道：“如今此案，幸亏部文批驳，从宽减等，不怕刀下之厄了。”
郡太道：“这也是你妹子摆布的来意。柳树春日下身虽无事，为娘的也要往钱塘走一遭。”
魏烈道：“母亲年已老迈，倘有事故，孩儿自应代母亲之劳。”
