Meng Ziyang was stunned, his eyes wide open, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

He said in person that the official register should be taken as the basis, and the official register was made yesterday, but they separated in June?

Meng Ziyang suddenly thought of something: "So what if we split up! You are still a family!"

Tang Shiyue smiled and said nothing.

The head of the village had already stepped forward and presented the documents on the division of the Tang family and the documents handled by the government at that time.

Normally, when country folks divide up their family property, they don't go to the government to get a deed. They just divide up the land and things among themselves. But at that time, Mrs. Sun was afraid of being implicated by Tang Shiyue, so when she divided up the family property, she directly removed their branch from the household registration.

Since they moved out directly, they became their own household, so the Tang family naturally no longer had a third branch. In other words, the fourth branch of the Tang family naturally moved up, and Tang Yongming became the third branch.

So... it will never be Tang Shiyue's turn as the eldest daughter of the third room.

Taking a step back, according to Yan law, even if someone wanted to sell her again, only Tang Shirong, the "head of the family", could do it. Grandma Sun no longer had this right, and the document with her signature and fingerprints was just a piece of waste paper.

This reversal completely confused Meng Ziyang.

...

...

When the people below understood what was said, they also burst into laughter.

Who would have thought that someone could use the date of the compilation of the list to make something of themselves.

This is really a coincidence. Although it is not reasonable, it is in line with the law.

But of course the government makes judgments according to the law and will not consider personal relationships, so all we can say is that Tang Shiyue is really lucky!

But who told the Meng family not to go to the government to get the deed earlier? Who would take so many months to get a deed? If they had gotten the deed before they split up, wouldn't Tang Shiyue be able to escape?

Madam Zhou said happily: "I knew Yue'er would be fine! Yue'er is a lucky lady for all the villagers in the area!"

"So she is the Lady of Fortune?" said another person, "I've heard of her! They say that where she lives, even the dead wells come alive!"

"Quiet down!" County Magistrate Lin said, "You are right! According to the household registration, this 'third wife's eldest daughter' is not you!"

He was not trying the case of the "escape slave of the Meng family" at this time, so he only said this sentence and turned back to the original case: "Since Tang Shiyue was not an escaped slave of the Meng family, but a woman of good family background, the defendant Tang Shuizhi beat her severely and should be regarded as murder."

Meng Ziyang saw that the matter was a foregone conclusion and there was no point in arguing. He frowned for a long while and then left in anger.

Of course, Butler Feng and his companions quickly followed and immediately left Tang Shuizhi behind.

Tang Shuizhi was stunned. She hurriedly chased after him and said, "Master! Master! Butler Feng! Wait for me! What should I do!"

Tang Shiyue was actually just protecting herself and had no intention of doing anything to her. After all, to her, Tang Shuizhi was just an ordinary woman of this era. She couldn't always expect her to abandon her husband's family to help her. It was expected that she would aid and abet the evil.

As for the beating, after all, it wasn't her who was beaten, so she didn't feel deeply about it, and it's hard to say that she hated him.

In fact, if she was Meng Ziyang, she should continue to hold the "third eldest daughter" accountable.

After all, the onlookers could be anyone's helper. Even if the family was divided, if he insisted on holding on to the "third wife's eldest daughter", it would be equivalent to regaining the initiative. In order to maintain a good image, she would naturally give him appropriate benefits.

For businessmen, this is a rare "opportunity".

But he is indeed a young master. When he saw that things were not going well, he actually left in a tantrum? He even didn't want his concubine? He also didn't want the face of the Meng family?

I have to say, it's really stupid.

Tang Shiyue stood there quietly. When Tang Shuizhi saw that Meng Ziyang had really left, she immediately burst into tears. While crying, she glared at her fiercely.

Okay... this thoughtful little cutie, this look came just in time, and she immediately didn't even feel the slightest bit of guilt.

Anyway, Tang Shiyue was just a witness, so she stood aside and County Magistrate Lin continued the trial step by step.

Seeing that they were really going to question her about beating Tang Shiyue, Tang Shuizhi panicked and said anxiously, "I didn't beat her! I didn't! Those villagers must have helped her! She opened a winery and made some jelly and other things. She bribed those people with small favors, so of course they helped her!"

After hearing this, those people could no longer listen.

Chen Changyuan said, "Let's put it one way or the other. We all do owe Tang Xiaoniang a favor. Didn't your family learn how to make jelly and yuba from Tang Xiaoniang? But we don't dare lie to the county magistrate because of this! When Tang Xiaoniang was carried back that day, her clothes were covered in blood. Many people in the village saw it with their own eyes. When she was carried back home, many people also sent eggs, rice and flour when the village doctor came to visit. This is a fact and we can't deny it."

Tang Shuizhi wanted to argue, but Old Man Tang came forward tremblingly, knelt on the ground, and said, "Sir, it was me who beat Miss Tang that day. Please beat me, it's all my fault."

Tang Shuizhi remained silent.

County Magistrate Lin frowned and asked, "You hit him? Why did you hit him?"

"I..." Old Man Tang said, "That's right. I don't want her to follow Zhi'er. I'm afraid she will lose face for Zhi'er."

County Magistrate Lin glanced at Tang Shuizhi: "Is that so?"

Tang Shuizhi buried her head deeply, and after a long while, she hummed like a mosquito: "Yes."

County Magistrate Lin's expression changed slightly.

Tang Shiyue watched coldly and suddenly felt a little bored.

The old man and his wife were actually honest people. Firstly, they came forward to admit it because of guilt, and secondly... maybe because of fear. But before asking these questions, they stood behind Meng Ziyang honestly. Why? Of course, they were ready to testify for him.

It was not surprising that they were on the side of their daughter and son-in-law, but it was quite interesting that Tang Shuizhi fell silent as soon as she saw him come forward to acknowledge her.

But if Old Man Tang insisted on admitting it, the government had no evidence to prove that it was Tang Shuizhi who beat him.

In the end, Tang Shirong pleaded for him, beat the old man Tang with ten boards, and ordered his family to give Tang Shiyue ten taels of silver, and the matter was settled.

The audience finally finished watching the ending and prepared to leave after discussing the matter.

Just then, Tang Shiyue came out.

She was wearing men's clothes, and was short, thin, and small, looking even smaller than other girls of the same age. But for some reason, at first glance, one could never treat her as a child.

She smiled and bowed to everyone, saying, "Thank you all for helping me get justice. If you were not here, the Meng family would not have given in so easily."

She gestured to the side, and the shop assistant quickly ran up with a jar of wine. Tang Shiyue poured a few bowls of wine and said with a smile: "I run a wine shop, and I don't have anything else, so I'll use this wine to express my gratitude!"

People nowadays are still very simple and honest. Originally everyone was just joining in the fun, but after hearing what she said, they all felt a little guilty and said they dared not. At the same time, they each drank a few bowls of wine and clinked glasses with each other, which was quite chivalrous.

Even County Magistrate Lin was surprised to see this scene.

It was just a jar of wine, but people were moved by it and the public opinion afterwards was definitely one-sided.

This young lady is really good at controlling people's hearts.

No wonder even the aloof and arrogant Xu Siyuan treated her differently and came to see her in person.

Tang Shuizhi and her family had already left quietly. Tang Shiyue toasted them with a round of wine and said goodbye to everyone.

Everyone was divided into several cars. Xu Wenqu, the clan leader and the village head all sat in the cars, while the others some rode in the cars and some walked.

After all, this was the first time in life that they had to go to court, and everyone was a little scared and couldn't calm down yet.

No one spoke at first, until they left the city and walked on the country road. The clan leader took a deep breath and said earnestly: "We were too ostentatious before."

The old man next to him agreed: "Yes, you are still making clothes and carts. I have long said that this is not feasible! It is too stupid! Now it has brought disaster!"

"That's right! If I had been more careful, I wouldn't have been targeted and there wouldn't have been so many problems."

Several people spoke up.

This kind of hindsight is inevitable everywhere.
