After divorcing my ex-husband, I became the princess of the county

Lu Wanzhi returned to the county government office from the temple, saw Zhao Heng in the room and asked, "Has Hua Ying woke up?"

Zhao Heng shook his head and said, "Not yet, but she hasn't burned up and her breathing has stabilized, so she must be able to wake up."

Lu Wanzhi walked to the desk and sighed softly. Seeing Zhao Heng writing the letter, Lu Wanzhi said, "Don't tell Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager about the news of Princess Huaying's suicide."

Zhao Heng said: "Why? Are you afraid that Uncle Huang will blame your elder brother? It should be blamed. Hua Ying is with him, and he can watch Hua Ying commit suicide..."

Lu Wanzhi waved her hands at Xingrui and other maids, and after the maids had retreated, Lu Wanzhi whispered to Zhao Heng the reason why Huaying committed suicide.

Zhao Heng opened his eyes wide and said: "What? Hua Ying is so stupid! When Concubine Hui plotted against you, she didn't think about her at all. She is good. She even gave up her life to keep Concubine Hui. Is she worth it? ? And the eldest brother is also stupid..."

After Zhao Heng touched Lu Wanzhi's eyes, he swallowed the stupid words: "Why didn't elder brother call me and Gu Shiyu back immediately when he knew there was evidence?"

Lu Wanzhi said: "Elder brother and Hua Ying are husband and wife after all, if you find evidence of my mother's treason, what will you do?"

Lu Wanzhi didn't wait for Zhao Heng to answer, and said, "Even though the eldest brother is cold-faced, his heart is not cold, he may not really have no friendship with Hua Ying, especially since they have been together for a year, and Hua Ying was pregnant with his child.

Eldest brother must be entangled in exposing Concubine Hui, if it is Hua Ying's last wish, if elder brother still exposes Concubine Hui, I'm afraid he will be sad for the rest of his life. "

Zhao Heng said: "I don't need to tell Uncle Huang and Grandmother about this matter, but I have to tell the prince and brother, but I will tell the prince and brother not to punish Huaying and elder brother, after all, the emperor still owes elder brother."

Lu Wanzhi thought about it carefully, and said, "Yes."

When the two were having lunch, Lu Wanzhi saw Zhao Heng dozing off while sitting and said, "You didn't sleep all night last night, how can you go to court? How about you take a break?"

Zhao Heng said: "No, I can't rest, the Shanyin people in the yamen are still waiting for me to go to court."

Lu Wanzhi said: "Then let me go to the hall with you. Seeing how sleepy you are, I'll keep an eye on you later."

Since Zhao Heng became the county magistrate, the county government has always solved some trivial matters for the people of Shanyin. It used to be a trivial matter to come to the court to appeal for grievances, but today encountered an unimaginable case.

The two women even came to beat the grievance drum, grabbing a child, claiming it was their own.

Seeing the two women who came in, Zhao Heng asked curiously: "You all said it was your child? How could this child have two biological mothers?"

The woman in Tsing Yi knelt down and said: "Master Qingtian, this is my child. The child I conceived and gave birth to in ten months was snatched away by my sister, but she said it was her son!"

Seeing the two women kneeling below, Lu Wanzhi really looked alike, "It's between sisters, how could the child make a mistake?"

Zhao Heng felt that he had woken up from drowsiness. After he became the county magistrate, he could encounter any strange things.

The young woman in red hugged the baby in her arms and cried, "This is my son, my blood-linked son born in October."

Even though it was the dog days of summer, there were still quite a few people watching the excitement outside the yamen, especially when they heard of such a rare event as two mothers fighting over one child, they all came here one after another.

Zhao Heng asked: "Who are your respective husbands? What are your names?"

The woman in Tsing Yi said: "The woman's name is Xia Hehua. She lives in Qian's house. The husband of the woman is in the cloth business. My sister is not married yet. No one has seen her pregnant. She just said that the child is hers." of!"

Seeing the woman in red, Lu Wanzhi said, "Where did you get your son before you got married? Do you know that if you have a child before you get married, you are rape and murder!"

The woman in red hugged the child tightly in her arms and said: "This is my child, my son. My sister lied to me. She has been married to my brother-in-law for more than six years. She can only give birth to daughters who lose money, but can't give birth to sons." , was rejected by her brother-in-law.

She put her idea on my head. My family's conditions are not good. My sister said that if I gave birth to a son, my brother-in-law would accept me as a concubine. I didn't expect that after I gave birth to a son, she took advantage of my brother-in-law's absence. She gave birth to my son who killed her! "

Zhao Heng looked at Xia Hehua and said, "Is this really the case?"

Xia Hehua cried out: "No, no, according to Dasheng's laws, how can merchants and ordinary people take concubines? Our family is only a small merchant, how dare we go against Dasheng's laws, this son is mine!"

Xia Lianhua shouted: "It's my son, you don't live up to your expectations, don't touch my son."

Xia Hehua stepped forward to snatch the baby in Xia Lianhua's hands. During the fight between the two, the baby's cry was loud.

Lu Wanzhi pressed her temples, and said to Xia Hehua, "Where's your husband?"

Xia Hehua said: "My husband has gone out to do business, I have just given birth to a baby, and my shameless sister stole the baby to beat the grievance drum!"

Xia Lianhua said: "This is clearly my son. You want to take my son away before Jin Lang returns, and marry me to someone else, so that you can have my son and secure your position."

During the quarrel between the two sisters, the baby was crying very hard.

Lu Wanzhi instructed Xu Butou, "Report the child."

Xu Butou snatched the child from the hands of the two women, and carried him to Lu Wanzhi.

Lu Wanzhi picked up the baby who had just turned one month old. Perhaps after she became pregnant, she became more gentle when seeing the baby.

Zhao Heng stepped forward to have a look, this child is not good-looking, far worse than Gu Qingchi's daughter.

Lu Wanzhi said to Xia Lianhua: "You mean, before you became pregnant, your sister told you to give birth to your brother-in-law's son so that she could be your brother-in-law's concubine.

But after you gave birth to your son, your sister refused to admit it and took your son away?On the contrary, she gave birth to her herself, and she still tried to marry you off before your brother-in-law returned? "

"Yes!" Xia Lianhua said pitifully, "I finally stole the child and ran out, and sounded the drum of grievance."

The common people who watched the excitement outside said: "This daughter-in-law of Jin Dalang's family, she was married for six years and gave birth to a girl's film. This birth has become a son. Maybe she really stole my sister's child."

"A child with two mothers is really a miracle, a miracle."

Xia Hehua said in succession: "The woman never said anything about letting her be a concubine. This child was born in ten months of pregnancy. My sister hated me, so she made up such a lie."

Zhao Heng knocked on the gavel and said: "Xia Hehua, you have to know that a lie is not tolerated in the courtroom, and one should be punished for fabricating a lie."

Xia Hehua knelt on the ground and said, "Master Qingtian..."

Zhao Heng said: "This mother and child are connected, parents can't bear the slightest pain for their children, let alone pull the legs of a full-moon child, and you just pulled the legs of the child, showing no distress at all. You said this is your child born in October, are you stupid to think of Benzhi County?"

Xia Hehua said with a look of decadence: "Master Qingtian, I..."

Xia Lianhua kowtowed and said: "Master is really wise, this is my child, please return the child to me, Madam, when Jin Lang returns, I will thank the Lord Magistrate."
