"It wouldn't be difficult if the old lady just wanted to save your son's life."

Hua Rujin looked at Mrs. Liu thoughtfully: "But I heard you just said that the son admitted the adultery himself, so it's a bit difficult to do so."

Although the white flowers looked cute, she was not in a hurry to give advice to Mrs. Liu.

As a woman, she can't ruin a person's innocence just because of this.

How difficult it is for a woman to survive in this day and age, if it was really Liu's son who raped the daughter of the Zhang family, then I would not be able to feel at ease after ruining a woman's future for these several hundred taels of silver.

At this time, Liu's heart was already in a state of confusion, and she knelt down on the ground again without crying, crying in pain: "My son was given the ecstasy potion by the mother and daughter of the Zhang family, and now he wants to die with all his heart."

She cried a lot during the break, and passed out from crying directly.

Seeing this, Hua Rujin had no choice but to go forward and help her up together with the envoy.

Seeing the old lady like this, the female envoy felt distressed, knelt down and prayed:
"Miss Hua, everything my wife said is true. Although my young master is not a well-educated man, if it wasn't for a reason, he would never have done such a thing. Moreover, he has sincere affection for Miss Zhang. If Miss is not willing, he will definitely not force others."

"Since it wasn't forced, why didn't your wife bow her head and talk to Zhang's mother and daughter, now that the rice is cooked and cooked, wouldn't everyone be happy after this marriage?"

Hua Rujin looked at the little envoy confusedly: "Your young master and Miss Zhang's family are in love again, why would she rather sue her lover to the court than to keep her innocence, and even put your young master to death?" ?”

"Why didn't you ask for mercy?"

The maid looked helpless: "My wife almost broke the threshold of the Zhang family, but since the incident happened, the young lady of the Zhang family has disappeared, and the mother-in-law of the Zhang family even threatened, saying that my son has tarnished her daughter's innocence. I have to ask my young master to apologize with death."

"That's kind of weird."

Hua Rujin couldn't help but shook her head and smiled bitterly: "As your wife said just now, Mrs. Zhang already knew that her daughter was secretly dealing with your son, and she even acquiesced in connivance. Young master put to death?"

She lowered her eyebrows and remained silent for a moment, then she suddenly looked at the female envoy sharply: "Could it be that your wife and Mrs. Zhang have forged a deep hatred?"

"Not at all."

The maid shook her head sullenly: "My wife has always been a knife-mouthed bean curd heart, and she always takes pity on their mother and daughter. She feels that their orphans and widows have a lot of help, and even mentioned two things to the master before the incident happened. For the sake of the young master, the slave servant sees that the madam still wants to give in to this softness."

"I see."

Hua Rujin sighed and looked at Liu Shi: "How about this, I will accompany you to send your wife back first, and visit that lady of the Zhang family by the way."

Right now, it's hard for her to draw a conclusion directly, but she still has a vague feeling that there are too many strange things in it.

If it is really because of the personal grievances of the two women that the future of a pair of children is affected, this is not a good deal.

Rewrapping the bag of gold and silver, the envoy carried Mrs. Liu on her back, and the two walked out of the teahouse slowly.

When I met Ting An at the door, seeing him staring at the master and servant in confusion, Hua Rujin explained casually: "I will accompany this lady to the Zhang family in the south of the city."

"The Zhang family in the south of the city?"

Ting An heard someone discussing this matter outside the teahouse, and quickly gestured: "Could it be that Ms. Hua is doing it for that young lady of the Zhang family?"

Hua Rujin was not allowed to answer, so he asked and answered by himself: "This matter has been closed. Last night, my son took back the closing statement of the trial in Tuzhi County. It was the Li family who confessed by himself. He personally admitted that he had raped the Zhang family. Miss, my young master has submitted the case file to the magistrate."

Thinking about Lu Xiuyuan's torture before landing, Ting An immediately emphasized: "I didn't use torture, it's about human life. My son went to the prison to check with the prisoner himself last night."

"It seems that there should be nothing wrong with this matter."

Hua Rujin smiled lightly.

When the little book boy said that, she couldn't go straight to visit Zhang's house, so she could only perfunctoryly say: "Then I will accompany this younger sister to send Mrs. Liu back to the mansion first."

Ting An nodded hesitantly, "I'll go and tie the carriage for Miss Hua."

"No need."

Hua Rujin waved her hand: "It won't take too much time anyway, Mr. Ye is probably too busy there, you can go to the county government to help Mr. Ye take care of things."

Ting An didn't dare to persuade her anymore, and watched her get into Liu's carriage.

At the end of the day, Ye Chengwei sat upright in the county government office of Jiang'an County, staring at the thick file on the desk in a daze, his cherry blossom-like almond eyes blinked slightly from time to time, and the whole person looked a little dull.

It is said that it is difficult for an upright official to decide on housework. Recently, he has personally felt the power of this.

However, for two days after taking over the affairs of Jiang'an County, the things he encountered seemed ordinary, but each one was more difficult to chew.

Either adultery is rape.

Thinking about picking up a file in front of him, he glanced roughly at it. It turned out that two villagers got into trouble with the government because their cattle were fighting in the field. Several years of lawsuits did not come to a conclusion.

While hesitating, Ting An suddenly came in on tiptoe.

"Miss Hua's. Are you done?"

Ye Chengwei glanced at him with flickering eyebrows.

Ting An remained silent and did not answer, but turned his gaze behind him.

"Brother has been relying heavily on that Miss Hua recently."

Hearing a familiar voice, Ye Chengwei looked intently and saw that it was He Shiyin who was leading the female envoy walking in slowly.

"Miss He is also planning to join in the fun?"

Ye Chengwei smiled meaningfully.

Considering that there has been a lot of activity in Jiang'an County recently, and even Lord Xunguan will be here, as the only female lawyer in Jiangling City, she will not miss such a good opportunity.

"It's just a matter of loyalty entrusted by others."

He Shiyin raised her mouth slightly and frowned, walked straight up to him, looked at the files spread out on the desk and said, "I didn't expect to hear that there was an accident in Tuzhi County when I first came to Jiang'an County. You have to beg for food under the hands of your elder brother."

"As long as Miss He has a clear conscience, she can eat this bowl of rice with peace of mind even in front of His Majesty."

Ye Chengwei's clear eyes suddenly paused.

I have heard that her method of making money is not weaker than Gu Langxi, and writing a complaint for someone is worth thousands of taels of silver.

Even if a person does not go to court, he can already earn a lot of money after a case is settled, which is comparable to a year's salary of a first-rank official in the imperial court.

I just hope that none of the money she earns is unclean.

He Shiyin's face was extremely calm, and she replied with a smile: "Elder brother was joking, how dare my little sister play tricks in front of my elder brother? My elder brother teaches my little sister every word like life, and I never dare to slack off. There is nothing else I want in this life, only Willing to follow my brother's ambition."

"It couldn't be better."

Ye Chengwei narrowed his eyes, and the eyes of the two fell on the file on the desk at the same time.
