Chapter 8 There is no such relative

The shopkeeper looked embarrassed: "Miss Sun, I can't make the decision on this. It happens that our lady is here, you can talk to her."

Zhao Wanyue looked at Sun Caidie with a smile: "This lady said you are my relative. Forgive me for my poor eyesight and not knowing you. What relative are you to my mother-in-law?"

In front of others, Sun Caidie could still pretend, but in front of Zhao Wanyue, she really couldn't make up a story. She had to stammer and say: "I am a distant relative of the Duke's wife. The Crown Prince's wife doesn't recognize me. Next time I will visit her in person." After

that, she raised her feet and wanted to leave.

Lian Xuan stopped her and said, "Madam, please stay. Nanzhu Pavilion never owes money, let alone distant relatives. Even if the things are chosen by the madam herself, they must be paid for and recorded in the account. Butler, are you old and confused? You can't see clearly such a small matter. You let people use the old lady's name to cheat so many things. Madam, please pay first?"

Sun Caidie hugged the box tightly and said, "I am really a relative of the old lady. If you don't believe me, ask the shopkeeper. The old lady brought me here in person."

Zhao Wanyue glanced at her coldly and said, "My mother-in-law is kind-hearted. It's okay for her to give you alms once or twice occasionally. You are so greedy. Butler, bring the account book here. Let's see how much money our relative owes us."

The treasury manager reported the record of her things and said in embarrassment: "Madam, she owed us a total of 15,000 taels, not including the headdress!"

Zhao Wanyue sat down with the child and said: "Since she is a relative, just round off the decimals. You just need to pay 20,000 taels of silver."

Sun Caidie herself did not expect that she had owed tens of thousands of taels of silver. She put down the box nervously and stammered: "I don't want the headdress. I will pay the money tomorrow." Lian

Xuan stretched out a leg calmly, and Sun Caidie stumbled and fell.

Bai Zhi said in a neutral tone: "Madam, it's useless to kneel down. Pay the money before leaving!"

The people around were amused and laughed.

Sun Caidie was embarrassed and angry,

and she muttered, "I don't have any money?" Zhao Wanyue sneered and frowned, "No money, you are making fun of us, come, send this liar to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion!"

As soon as the voice fell, two strong servants tied up the injured Caidie and sent her directly to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion.

Sun Caidie was personally brought here by the wife of the prince of the Duke's Mansion, and there was a record of the purchase with her signature and fingerprints, which was the evidence of the crime. How could the prefect let her off easily?

She said that she was a relative of the Duke's wife, but Zhao Wanyue made it clear that she had never seen this person. She couldn't explain her relationship with Liu, and was accused of fooling the court officials.

The prefect was so shocked that he clapped his hands and directly sentenced her to thirty strokes of the cane.

Sun Caidie cried out to heaven and earth but no one could answer. After thirty strokes of the cane, each stroke drew blood. Sun Caidie was beaten until her skin was torn and her flesh was bloody. In the end, she didn't even have the strength to beg for mercy.

After using the torture, she was also ordered to pay back the 15,000 taels of silver notes owed to Nanzhu Pavilion within three days.

Because the amount of debt was huge, the prefect was worried that she would run away, so he directly detained her in the Jingzhao Yinfu jail. He also sent someone to her house to deliver a letter, saying that she could only be released from prison after her family paid the full amount of money!

Sun Caidie was beaten to death, and when she heard that she was going to be imprisoned, she fainted on the spot.

Su Xiaoxiao, who had been quiet all the time, grinned: [You beat the bad guys well and made them scream. Mother is really amazing.]

Zhao Wanyue thanked the prefect, and Lian Xuan also arranged for the jailers to take good care of Sun Caidie.

So, as soon as Sun Caidie was thrown into the cell, she was poured with a bucket of chili and salt water. The salt water entered the bleeding wound, like a hundred claws piercing her heart, and Sun Caidie was awakened by the pain.

When had Sun Caidie ever suffered such pain? She cursed: "You blind dogs and slaves, I am the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion. When my mother comes, I will chop off your heads and kick them like balls!"

The jailers laughed: "Then we will be trapped in the eyes of this rich lady. Let's go!"

They took away the torches. The wet cell was so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of you. Sun Caidie felt that something was approaching her.

It was all kinds of reptiles in the cell. They crawled all over her body and greedily ate the remaining salt stains.

Sun Caidie's screams and wails were incessant, but the jailers seemed to hear nothing...

Zhao Wanyue left the government office in a good mood and happily went to report the news to Liu.

Zhao Wanyue sat next to Liu angrily and said indignantly: "Mother, I am so angry. I wanted to go to Nanzhu Pavilion today to choose some red hairpins for mother, but I didn't expect to meet a liar. I don't know what method he used to deceive the shopkeeper into buying her things worth 15,000 taels. When my daughter-in-law asked her to pay, she said that she was mother's relative and you allowed her to buy things."

"What, 15,000 taels?" Liu always felt that she owed her daughter. The shopkeeper said that Sun Caidie had bought things, and she thought it was just a few pieces of jewelry. After all, Zhao Wanyue's business would be hers sooner or later, so she didn't care. She didn't expect that she actually bought so much.

Zhao Wanyue pretended not to notice Liu's worries, and said to herself: "That's right, she lied, and she also blamed my mother, saying that she was supervising me and stealing. I was so angry that I had her sent to Jingzhao Yin Mansion."

"What, you even sent her to Jingzhao Yin Mansion? Who are we? How can we report to the authorities for no reason? Hurry up and have someone tell the Yin that we are withdrawing the lawsuit." Liu was so scared that she dropped the tea bowl in her hand. Caidie was a weak woman, and she went to Jingzhao Yin Mansion. I wonder how scared she must be.

Zhao Wanyue was secretly happy. Now she felt sorry for her. When you were deliberately hurting others, didn't you just blink?

She asked in surprise: "Mother, it was someone else who committed the crime and we are the victims. What's wrong with reporting it to the police? I really want to see what kind of black-hearted parents can raise such a shameless daughter. They are so shameless. I don't think their family will have a good ending and will be struck by lightning sooner or later. Mother, you don't know that the man is about the same age as Bowen. Think about it carefully, do we have any relatives of that age in our family?"

I almost laughed to death when I thought of Su Xiaoxiao in my arms: [Mother is not only smart, but also good at scolding people. The vicious old woman must be mad to death! ]

Zhao Wanyue pretended not to hear anything and waited curiously for Liu to answer her whether Sun Caidie was her relative.

Liu's nails dug into her flesh, but she still tried to stay calm. She said impatiently, "How could I have such a relative? You are

just listening to her nonsense." Zhao Wanyue pretended not to see Liu's embarrassment, and said with a long sigh, "It would be better if she was not mother's relative. The governor was jealous and beat her 30 times. You didn't see it, mother. She was beaten to pieces and blood. Even her skirt was torn. It's true that there must be something hateful about pitiful people. She has good hands and feet, and can do anything else, but she learned to cheat others. Now she is still in prison waiting for her family to redeem her!"
