Chapter 131 My family has always been gentle and humble.
Yu Jiaojiao's voice was very sharp, and the other person who was hitting her seemed to be frightened and stopped.
Yu Mingyu finally got a chance to catch her breath and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At the same time, I also agree with what Yu Jiaojiao said.
“My sister is right. Putting aside the fact that the accusation of my father’s embezzlement is just something Yu Zhiyi made up and doesn’t count, even if he really did embezzle, what does it have to do with us?”
The more he talked, the more he realized how reasonable it made sense.
The man seemed to agree with him, and remained motionless for quite some time.
Just when Yu Mingyu thought her persuasion had worked, she heard a cold laugh, followed by a kick that was even heavier than before.
Yu Mingyu felt that the place where she was kicked was so painful that it had gone numb, as if it no longer belonged to her.
But he paid no heed, because the man spoke in a somber tone: "The premise of 'the misfortune not extending to the children' is that the benefits do not extend to the children!"
Yu Mingyu's mind went blank.
Then, the pain returned.
The two fought for an unknown amount of time, but eventually stopped, seemingly exhausted.
Then, Yu Mingyu's head lolled to the side and she fainted.
Before he lost consciousness, Yu Jiaojiao had already fallen silent.
Before her consciousness completely plunged into darkness, a thought seemed to flash through Yu Mingyu's mind.
The premise for not inflicting harm on children is that the benefits do not extend to them...
He seems to have said that.
Yu Zhiyi soon heard about how Yu Mingyu and her brother had been stuffed into sacks.
It wasn't that she was deliberately trying to find out about them, but someone happened to pass by the place where they had been beaten and saw two people lying on the ground with bruises and swelling, breathing weakly. The person was startled and thought they had seen dead people. They didn't even dare to go up and check whether they were dead or alive, and hurriedly went to report the case.
However, even though it was just a false alarm and no one was killed, the prefect was still quite annoyed.
This is Shengjing!
The current emperor is wise and benevolent, yet also strict and just. As a result, the current government is very competent and dares not underestimate any case.
They take petty theft seriously in ordinary times, let alone beating someone to serious injury in broad daylight.
Moreover, these two are the son and daughter of the former Minister of Revenue.
Although the Minister of Revenue has left, Consort Yu is still here!
Moreover, Consort Yu is carrying the emperor's child; who knows if she will give birth to a prince in a few months?
Can the Yu family rise again with the help of Consort Yu?
Therefore, the Prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture attached great importance to this matter.
He first personally escorted the two people home, and then inquired about the circumstances of the incident in detail after they woke up.
This question was quite shocking. The second young lady, who woke up first, actually said that the person behind it all was very likely the daughter-in-law of the Prime Minister's mansion, the current Assistant Minister of Justice, and the young mistress of the Du family!
Putting aside the fact that it was the official position of a secretary in the Ministry of Justice, and although it was equal to his, because it was in the Ministry of Justice, its actual status was actually a little higher than his.
Just the fact that she is Prime Minister Du's daughter-in-law is enough to make him dare not offend her easily!
However, this matter has become too big, and given that Yi Luan Charity is currently in the eye of the storm, he simply cannot suppress it and has no choice but to bite the bullet and summon Yu Zhiyi.
When Yu Zhiyi received the summons from the Jingzhao Prefecture, she was calculating Li Feng's birth date and time.
She was interrupted, so she had to cast the hexagram again.
Hongluan has already returned to Jinxiufang, after all, she still has a bunch of orders on hand.
A moment later, Yu Zhiyi withdrew her hand, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.
It turns out that the important person was actually...
At that moment, Manager Wu Shan knocked on the door.
The door was not closed, and Yu Zhiyi said without turning her head, "Come in."
Two officials from the Jingzhao Prefecture followed behind Manager Wu Shan, their faces full of worry: "Master, the Jingzhao Prefecture requests your presence for questioning."
Yu Zhiyi wasn't surprised. She stood up and shook her long sleeves: "Let's go."
Before long, the group arrived at the Jingzhao Prefecture.
Yu Mingyu and his sister also arrived, but unlike their previous arrogance, they were now lying on stretchers with thick bandages wrapped around their bodies.
If the two constables hadn't told Yu Zhiyi their identities before entering, even she would have had a hard time recognizing them.
Yu Zhiyi: "...So you can't be too arrogant and greedy, or you'll get beaten up."
She seemed to be talking to herself.
Master Yu went out to discuss business today and has not yet returned. Yu Mingquan went to teach people to play the zither to supplement the family income, while Yu Zixuan was forced by the Yu family to go to school.
So only Madam Yu and Yu Mengqin came at this moment.
The two were already furious, and upon hearing this, Madam Yu exploded: "Yu Zhiyi, how could you do this!"
Yu Zhiyi looked at her, puzzled: "What did I do? I didn't hit him."
Manager Wu Shan also stepped forward, bowing his head and saying meekly, "Madam Yu has misunderstood. The master was reprimanding me."
The Yu family members: "..."
Prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture: "..."
Not to mention these people, even Yu Zhiyi was somewhat surprised.
No wonder Hongluan took a liking to Manager Wu Shan at first glance among the crowd; he really is a shrewd person.
Yu Zhiyi was too lazy to bother with some of the intricacies, but she wouldn't mind if someone wanted to handle it for her.
She walked past Madam Yu and addressed the Prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, saying, "Lord Gong, may I ask why you summoned me here?"
The prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture was surnamed Gong.
The student from the university originally wanted to watch the play a little longer, but it was over before he knew it. He felt a little disappointed, but he kept a serious expression on his face.
He bowed to Yu Zhiyi as an equal before asking, "Lord Yu, the Yu family has accused you of hiring someone to beat up Yu Mingyu and Yu Jiaojiao. Is this true?"
Yu Zhiyi returned the greeting before saying, "Isn't solving cases and catching criminals the duty of the university officials? Besides, since I am a suspect, whatever I say is insufficient to constitute evidence in court. Similarly..."
She looked at the two gauze figures on the ground: "They have a grudge against me, and their words cannot be used as evidence in court."
Yu Mengqin said coldly, "They offended you just now, and then they got beaten up! Besides, the Yu family has always been kind and gentle, and we haven't offended anyone except you! It's impossible for anyone else to have done this!"
Madam Yu didn't say anything, but looked at Yu Zhiyi with a sad expression, as if she had really done something that angered both heaven and man.
Just as Yu Zhiyi was about to say something, her gaze fell upon someone.
This is the son of the steward of the Yu family. He is a servant of the Yu family and is twenty-eight years old this year. He is of average appearance but has an extreme fondness for beautiful women.
As a servant born into a family, he had more women than his proper masters.
Yu Zhiyi's eyes suddenly turned deep and dark.
Yu Jianren looked at Yu Zhiyi with a puzzled expression.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, his eyes lit up.
Could it be that the young lady has taken a liking to him?
Although she had already married Young Master Du and was no longer a virgin, and was even that lowly imposter, but...
She's really beautiful!
Moreover, she is now a female official.
He's never been with a female official before.
