After rebirth, I became the villain’s sister-in-law Bai Yueguang

Huaer wiped her tears with the back of her hand.

Then she nodded while crying: "Yes... wuwu... when I went to the restaurant that day, I ran into Cheng Shier Niang again. Not only her, but also... and our Madam Qiu's daughter Zheng Wan Niang..."

"Although I am a slave, Zheng Wanniang, who I have known since childhood, knows what kind of person I am. But she never liked me before, so Cheng Twelve Niang just fanned the flames and said a few words, saying that I betrayed my master and was ungrateful, then... Zheng Wanniang really believed it and even came forward to beat me."

"At the time, Yang Hu was standing nearby. He only got slapped, but he stopped it for me."

"I felt ashamed, so I begged him to come back and not tell my wife."

Jiang Wancheng was so distressed that he wiped Huaer's tears with his handkerchief.

"and then?"

Hua'er sobbed again before continuing, "I went out today by accident. The New Year is coming soon, and I wanted to buy a piece of cloth secretly to make red cloth bags for the two girls as New Year's gifts, so I went out again."

"I didn't expect to meet Cheng Shierniang and Zheng Wanniang again, right in our cloth shop."

"I didn't want to cause trouble with them, so I hurriedly took the goods and prepared to leave. But the two of them followed me out and followed me all the way to an alley... I... I was dragged into the alley by the servants they brought with them..."

Jiang Wancheng's heart skipped a beat. She immediately grabbed Hua'er and looked her up and down: "You... have you been taken advantage of by someone?"

Hua'er shook her head desperately, but she couldn't stop crying out of grievance.

"I swear to my death to maintain my innocence, otherwise, I wouldn't have been beaten so hard. They were also afraid of beating me to death, so I pretended to faint and they left."

But Huaer was still seriously injured.

Jiang Wancheng clenched his fists.

As both of them are women, they all know very well how difficult it is for a woman to lose her innocence in this world.

It’s not that innocence is important, but innocence is the shackles that this feudal world imposes on women.

They couldn't break free, so they could only protect themselves!
But as women, Cheng Shier Niang and the others wanted to destroy others in this way.

Fortunately, Huaer protected herself.

Jiang Wancheng felt a sharp pain in his heart, and at the same time, he was filled with anger.

This Cheng Shier Niang won't cry until she sees the coffin!

Deception is too much!
Jiang Wancheng held Hua'er's shoulders and asked her solemnly: "Hua'er, if I asked you to sue Cheng Shi'er Niang and Zheng Wan Niang, would you be willing?"

Hua'er shuddered all over.

It seems like I have been waiting for this day for a long time, but I am not sure.

"Sue, sue for what?"

Jiang Wancheng: "Sue her for Cheng Shier Niang and Zheng Wan Niang for wounding and killing people! Sue her for colluding with the brothel and killing people to become prostitutes. Sue her for colluding with the prison market and defrauding people of their money! Sue her for colluding with the people and killing you!"

If you want to sue her, there are many more!
Hua'er's eyes gradually brightened.

"Can, can I? Madam, is this really possible? I will sue her! Even if it costs me my life, I will sue her!"

Huaer excitedly grabbed Jiang Wancheng's hand and begged sincerely.

Jiang Wancheng hugged Hua'er lovingly, "I just want you to be patient for a while. In order to let the doctor examine your injuries and let the chief official of the Beijing government take a look at your injuries, we can't apply medicine for the time being. Are you willing?"

Huaer has been waiting for this day for a whole year!

How could she not want to?

It's just a minor flesh wound. If Cheng Shi'er Niang can be brought to justice, what will this little suffering matter?
She smiled and said, "I do!"

That day, Jiang Wancheng went to see Mr. Liao in person and asked him to help write a petition.

Then, Huaer took the petition and went to knock on the drum at the gate of the Beijing government office to appeal for justice. Jiang Wancheng was not allowed to show up, so she just stood outside wearing a cloak and watched the whole process.

Hua'er, accompanied by Shi Yi and Yang Hu, knelt in the hall.

Soon, Cheng Twelve Niang and Guan Niang were brought to the hall.

Cheng Shier Niang is now married again.

Zheng Wanniang also has a husband's family.

The families of the two men followed them to the yamen and stood beside Jiang Wancheng.

Before the court session even started, these people pointed at the painting that was kneeling in the hall with hideous faces and cursed it in an unbearable way.

Fuxue and Qianzhu, who came out with them, were so angry that their faces turned red.

Jiang Wancheng just shook his head and whispered, "Let them make a fuss. They will stop making any more noise in a while."

The gavel banged loudly, and no one dared to make any more noise.

Cheng Shier Niang complained about her injustice as soon as she opened her mouth. She cried and shouted, saying that she was such an honest girl and how could she have done such a bad thing.

On the contrary, it was Hua'er, the evil slave, who used to be just a maidservant beside her aunt. After her aunt passed away, she couldn't bear to see her doing well, so she got involved in something to harm her.

In this dynasty, if a slave sued his master, he would be beaten to death, regardless of whether he was right or wrong!
Hua'er didn't say a word during the whole process, but just held high the petition, her own good record, and the letter of release that Madam Qiu had given her personally as evidence.

After the county magistrate read the petition and the documents of good character, he was sure that Hua'er was now a good citizen. Naturally, it was not considered as a slave suing his master, so he was spared the punishment of beating to death.

So, I began to verify the contents of the petition.

The painting is covered with scars, which are obvious and cannot be faked.

Cheng Shi'er Niang and Zheng Wan Niang both shouted that the injury had nothing to do with them, and that Hua'er had fallen somewhere by herself, but they were trying to put the blame on them.

At this time, Yang Hu knelt down and said that Zheng Wanniang had taken action at the door of Yahe Restaurant last time, and he was a witness.

This time, although there was no one else to testify, Cheng Shi'er Niang and her gang not only beat the man but also snatched the red cloth from Hua'er.

The cloth shop had only sold one piece of red cloth that day, and the shopkeeper was willing to testify in court that the red cloth was definitely not bought by Cheng Shier Niang and the others.

The patterns of the cloth produced by their cloth shop are different from those of other shops, and it is difficult to find the same ones in the whole of Upper Kyoto, so they cannot be faked.

If the officials were willing to search the homes of Cheng Shierniang or Zheng Wanniang, the truth would naturally come to light.

Zheng Wanniang's face immediately turned pale and she looked a little panicked.

How could they know that she was just a little maid? How could a cloth shop be willing to come out to testify?
If I had known what happened yesterday, I wouldn’t have been greedy for that piece of red cloth!

At this time, Zheng Wanniang's husband's family members were looking at each other in bewilderment, because Zheng Wanniang had indeed brought back a piece of red cloth yesterday and gave it to her mother-in-law as a filial present!
Only then did the Zheng family become convinced that Zheng Wanniang had indeed done something stupid with Cheng Shierniang.

Yesterday, a maidservant and a boy followed him out of the house. Zheng Wanniang's mother-in-law immediately shouted, "Why don't you bring them back for questioning?"

The woman who spoke was obviously Zheng Wanniang's mother-in-law.

She used to trust her daughter-in-law very much, but now she doesn't trust her anymore.

Sure enough, the servants confessed quickly.

Zheng Wanniang's mother-in-law outside got angry on the spot, but it was too late.

Because several yamen runners had already gone to Zheng Wanniang and Cheng Shier's homes to search.

Zheng Wanniang's mother-in-law immediately ordered her son to run over and winked at her: "Hurry up and go take a look." (End of this chapter)
