"Such a shameless whore should be dipped in a pig cage."

"My late husband died in battle, and my daughter-in-law did such a thing. What a misfortune for our family."

The people who were softened by Aunt Xu's words had various opinions. Their eyes immediately turned to Song Qian who was standing in front of the hall, as if they were going to capture her and put her in a pig cage the next moment.

Seeing that her goal was achieved, Aunt Xu simply refused to do anything and climbed up the steps in front of the magistrate's desk on her knees, crying: "Master Qingtian, you can make the decision for my poor brother!

"

After saying that, he wiped his forced tears with his dirty linen cuffs, and kept glancing at Song Qian with triumphant eyes.

Now let’s see what else you little girl has to say!

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, the county magistrate frowned and slapped the gavel in his hand on the table. His tone revealed irresistible majesty: "How unbecoming is it to cry in the court! You have put this county magistrate in the wrong place.

Where? And where to put the law?”

Aunt Xu was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly got up from the ground. She pretended to wipe her tears and stood aside, not daring to say anything anymore.

In contrast, Song Qian was calm and composed, not annoyed by what Aunt Xu did, and stood in front of the hall as steady as a mountain.

The county magistrate looked her up and down and said, "Mrs. Song, do you agree with what Mrs. Xu said?"

The county magistrate had heard earlier about how prosperous the business of Song Qian's dessert shop was, and how picky his wife was about food, and he praised her endlessly. Her character was rumored to be good, and most people didn't believe that she could do anything treacherous.

But now that the situation is like this, I can only hope that she will be happy for herself.

Song Qianqian let out a breath and said: "Your Majesty the County Magistrate, dear fellow citizens, the fact that the little lady is standing in front of the hall to complain is because the thief Xu Biao listened to the instigation and wanted to harm the little lady. The little lady is a blessing to the Lord.

I didn’t let Xu Biao and the eldest aunt succeed. I just want to seek justice for my orphan and widowed mother. I don’t want the eldest aunt to want to slander the little lady with her own words. Why is the little lady’s life so miserable?”

Song Qian finished speaking and imitated Aunt Xu in wiping her tears, and continued before Aunt Xu: "If my unlucky husband and mother-in-law knew that my family wanted to cut off the family's incense, my grandmother-in-law would want to destroy the descendants of the Xu family.

If we kill them all, we will not be safe even on the road to hell."

Although Song Qian had never met Xu Wenyan, who abandoned her and ran away from marriage, and her mother-in-law, who treated the original owner well, there was nothing she could do to disturb them.

Song Qian's passionate cry turned the tide, and the people sympathized with her one after another, accusing the Xu family of being ruthless, and some even wiped away tears.

Seeing this, Aunt Xu became anxious, fearing that everyone would be completely moved by Song Qian, so she jumped out with a cry of surprise.

She pointed at Song Qian's nose, completely losing her weak look: "What nonsense are you talking about, you bitch? You moved out of that house by yourself, when did we rob it? You are a whore who not only stayed married, but also lived in the past few days."

I still don’t know if I’m still with Orion! Who knows if there’s a bastard in your belly!”

The county magistrate was very unhappy when he saw her making a big fuss and not taking him seriously. He waved his hand to several officers to drag her outside.

Aunt Xu passed by Song Qian, and she wanted to scratch her face with a desperate struggle to relieve her anger. Unexpectedly, the officer was too strong, and Song Qian reacted quickly and dodged, which made her frustrated.

"Regardless of whether it is true or not, there is no way to convict people under this kind of family law. But the thief Xu Biao wanted to poison people and harm people. It is understandable to disturb the people in the city. Come on, put him in jail!"

Seeing the people watching, the county magistrate wanted to know more about the case as soon as possible to reassure the people.

Ever since Aunt Xu made a big fuss, Xu Biao has been ignored. He originally wanted to defend himself, but unexpectedly Aunt Xu said everything. Now the two of them were really desperate.

After retreating from the hall, the people dispersed one after another seeing that the excitement was gone. Song Qian also breathed a sigh of relief, and when she was about to leave, she was surrounded by people who were thinking about the discounted dessert.

Naturally, Song Qian couldn't break his promise and led people to the dessert shop. The secret guards arranged by Changfeng in advance also rushed to Ji Changye's residence.

On the other side, in front of the dessert shop, figures one large and one small were missing in the warm wind.

Changfeng held the ingot in one hand and the purchased pig's feet in the other. He hummed a tune and returned to the dessert shop, only to find that Song Qian was missing.

Yuanbao fell from Changfeng's arms and asked Changfeng, who was also puzzled, with a confused look on his face: "Uncle, where did mother go?"

Changfeng looked around and shook his head, then thought about Yuanbao's words, and said helplessly: "Who taught you to call me uncle? I am so high-spirited and energetic, I should call him brother." After that, he pestered Yuanbao to call him brother twice.

Listen.

"My mother taught me that I call the young ones brother and the old ones uncle." Seeing Yuan Bao's confident look, Chang Feng felt like crying but had no tears.

Not only did he find no one to eat the pig's feet, but he was also called uncle. What a difficult job he had! He would definitely ask me to give him some extra salary when he got back.

It's just that the top priority is to find Song Qian, otherwise I won't be able to explain it, and I won't be able to increase my salary.

"Mrs. Song is really powerful. She sent the thief to the government office, otherwise she would have harmed many people."

"Yes, but I don't know if what the wife of the Xu family said is true? She really knows people but not their hearts... I have been waiting here for almost half an hour, and my wife is clamoring for dessert. This guy

Why haven't you come back yet?"

Changfeng listened to the conversation between the two people on the side, and he couldn't help but feel anxious and stepped forward to ask: "Brothers, why did Mrs. Song go to the government office? What happened?" If something goes wrong with Song Qian, I'm sure.

I can’t spare him! I can’t eat delicious food either!

After learning the ins and outs of the matter, Changfeng couldn't help but want to pick up the ingot that was playing with the pig's feet and rush to the county office, but he didn't want to meet the returning Song Qian.

Changfeng looked Song Qian up and down and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was unharmed. The Yuanbao in his arms opened his arms to Song Qian, and she was hugged by Song Qian. She said in a childish voice: "Mother,

My uncle and I have been waiting for you for a long time, where have you been?"

"Mom went to buy some things, and together with the pig's feet bought by Uncle Changfeng, she went back to make delicious food for Yuanbao. Let's go back."

Changfeng was about to cry without tears, so why did he call him uncle?

Taking advantage of the time when Song Qian was cooking with Yuanbao, Changfeng rushed back to the mansion to inform Ji Changye about Song Qian's affairs. He quickly walked into the study, saluted and said, "Sir, Mrs. Song and Mrs. Xu family today

At the county government office..."

In front of them, Ji Changye looked indifferent and said nothing. Changfeng's voice also faded away. He understood that Ji Changye already knew these things and did not say anything further.

After closing the book in front of him, Ji Changye said: "I asked you to protect their mother and son. Where have you been?"

Changfeng knelt down before speaking first, as if apologizing: "Master, it's my fault. But it's not what you think. It was Madam Song who sent me to buy pig's feet..."

Ji Changye had no intention of listening to this, waved his hand to shut him up, and said, "Don't you think there is something wrong with what Mrs. Xu said?"

After the secret guard came to report the matter, Ji Changye sent people to the county government office to get the evidence. After looking at it, he felt that there was something wrong with Aunt Xu's words.

Changfeng was startled at first, but after working under Ji Changye for many years, he quickly guessed what Ji Changye was thinking and said tentatively: "The day Mrs. Xu said was the wedding day of Mrs. Song and her deceased husband... that day happened to be yours.

…”

The two looked at each other and understood. Changfeng immediately asked for instructions: "This incident is too coincidental. I think it is better to interrogate the wife of the Xu family so that we can know the whole story and avoid any misunderstanding."

Ji Changye felt that what Changfeng said was reasonable, and immediately sent someone to prepare a carriage and go to the county government. Changfeng, on the other hand, sent Ji Changye back to Song Qian again, just for the sake of that bowl of coveted pig's feet.

When the county magistrate learned that Ji Changye was coming, he went to greet him personally: "Little one..."

Ji Changye did not want to stir up trouble and stopped him: "Your Excellency, the county magistrate, there is no need to be polite. Such a big fanfare is not good for both of you and me. I am here to interrogate the wife of the Xu family. I wonder if the county magistrate can make it easier for me?"

"

"That's natural. Please come with me." How could he not respond to what Ji Changye said? If he was taken care of well, the nobles would have nothing to worry about in the future.

With this plan in mind, the county magistrate personally held a lamp to guide Ji Changye all the way to the prison.

The cold and damp air was still mixed with a pungent rancid odor. Ji Changye covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief in discomfort and coughed twice.

"Hey! Come out!" The jailer untied the iron chain and knocked on the wooden fence with a stick. Aunt Xu, who was huddled in the corner, immediately got up and appeared in front of them, rolling and crawling.

When she met the county magistrate, Aunt Xu wiped away her tears and said, "My lord, magistrate, I know that you are aware of everything and will not let the people suffer injustice in vain."

The county magistrate treated her coldly and ordered someone to drag her to the execution chamber. He also said: "How can people like you be innocent? If you keep talking nonsense, be careful to break your legs." The prisoner who can be interrogated by Ji Changye must be

He had committed a serious crime that was unknown to the public, so he didn't need to look good.

Aunt Xu was frightened but could not struggle away. She was dragged all the way to the torture chamber. Looking at the frightening torture instruments all over the wall, half of Aunt Xu's soul was scared away.

"Ms. Xu." Ji Changye's voice sounded to Aunt Xu like the king of hell demanding life. She threw herself at Ji Changye's feet and said, "My lord, my little one has done nothing in vain! It's all Song Qian's fault.

, she is shameless!"

Ji Changye's face darkened, and there was a hint of evil in his eyes. He did not want to beat around the bush with her and waste time: "What happened on the wedding day of Lady Song and her late husband?"

A trace of suspicion flashed across Aunt Xu's face, and she felt that the person in front of her was strange. She didn't know why he asked about Song Qian.

"I don't know, I don't know anything. Please be merciful and let me go. I swear I will never cause trouble to Song Qian again."

Seeing that she was stubborn, Ji Changye motioned with his eyes to his men to tie her up, and one of them took down the torture device on the wall.

In an instant, a scream echoed in the cold prison, and the county magistrate waiting outside the door couldn't help but feel nervous.

The jailer on the side also whispered: "That man inside is too cruel."

"That's right, we usually just scare him, but he just made a move. It's so cruel."

The two of them were chatting happily, but the county magistrate frowned, and immediately stopped talking, and stood guard on both sides as expected.

I don't know how long it took, but Aunt Xu couldn't bear it anymore and stopped talking harshly. She confessed everything about the future.

"Xu Wenyan did not consummate the marriage with Song Qian that day. He escaped overnight and went to the military camp to become a soldier. I felt pity for this sister-in-law, but I didn't want to see her come back the next day disheveled and with an extra jade pendant on her body. The old woman was confused for a moment

, instead of driving her out, you kept her behind and raised that bastard. Where do you think my Xu family’s face is? What a miserable life!"

"Jade pendant?" Ji Changye lowered his eyes and thought, never taking into account Aunt Xu's complaint that Song Qian had lost the Xu family's face. After a moment, he ordered: "Put her in a prison according to the law and call a doctor.

Apply medicine."
