Chapter 35: I have my own way to prove my innocence]
Qin Lizheng also said at the right time: "Big sister, you heard it too, now it's too... My eldest nephew's body is still warm, and this bitch is stealing men. You still want to be led by your unscrupulous little whore daughter-in-law by the nose, and fall out with her family. Are you going to be incompatible with her in the future! Do you think she can remain a widow and serve you as a mother-in-law? When she sees that you have lost the support of your family, she will kick you and Hao'er away sooner or later and let you starve to death! This unscrupulous little whore deserves to be drowned in a pig cage!"
Chen Fenghe sneered, "Qin Huanhuan, you don't need to throw dirty water on me. You're not clean yourself, and you have the nerve to say that about others? Apart from anything else, aren't you ashamed of yourself for saying such things as you, an unmarried girl? Or are you familiar with this? Have you done it before?"
Qin Huanhuan was hit in the sore spot. She looked at Chen Fenghe in panic and anger: "Chen Fenghe! You...what did you say!"
What Chen Fenghe just said, could it be that...she knows something?
Chen Fenghe ignored her and turned to look at Qin Lizheng, saying, "And Qin Lizheng, you're a man, but you're also a gossipy woman? You don't have to ruin my reputation and change the subject. Return my mother-in-law's hairpin first, and I'll prove my innocence!"
Qin Lizheng was so angry at being called a 'gossip' that he immediately raised his arm and was about to hit Chen Fenghe: "You bitch, you dare to be stubborn even when you are about to die. If I don't beat you to death today, I won't be Qin Lizheng!"
Before he could finish his words, Qin Lizheng cried out in pain, "Ah!" accompanied by a "pop" sound.
It turned out to be a whip that hit his back mercilessly!
Looking again, Yuan Xun, whip in hand and folded his arms, was watching the spectacle with great interest. He sneered, "What's going on? We heard from afar that someone is tarnishing our reputation! Accepting bribes, raping women! Lord Qin is so powerful! Are you planning to satisfy your righteousness and execute us brothers right here?"
At this time, other exiled prisoners also gathered together, watching the show and whispering to each other.
"Is the Qin family tired of living? They even dare to spread rumors about the soldiers?"
"However, what he said does seem to make sense. Just now, the Shen family's wife did go to catch a wild boar alone with a few grown men, and she was the only one who got a whole wild boar..."
"It's just a pity for the Crown Prince. His body is still warm, and he married a Crown Princess... Sigh! Let's just watch the show! No more words!"
"Shh! Are you trying to kill yourself? How dare you say such nonsense!"
"Alas... this kind of thing is common. Our lives are at stake, so let's not talk about it anymore and just watch the show!"
Qin Lizheng's clothes were torn, revealing a bloody whip mark, and he was grimacing in pain.
He listened to what the people around him said. Although he was as nervous as a mouse seeing a cat when he saw the official, he finally said with some confidence: "Yuan...Yuan Yu, this...this is our Qin family's family affair. Since ancient times, it has been difficult for an honest official to judge family affairs. I hope the officials will let us solve it ourselves..."
Yuan Xun had naturally heard those nonsense words as well, and sneered twice: "Family affairs? We brothers have all gotten involved, and you still dare to call it a family matter? Are we just going to sit back and watch your family slander our reputation?!"
Qin Lizheng smiled somewhat scoundrelly and said, "Sir, you see, since you keep defending that bitch, there's nothing we can do about it, right?"
Chen Fenghe interrupted at this time and said, "Master Yuan, please be patient. I just said that once I find my mother-in-law's examination results, I will find a way to prove my innocence. I will never let you masters and I be wronged together!"
At this time, Chen Wu came over and scolded calmly: "Yuan Xun! Since they say it's a family affair, we shouldn't rashly interfere. Miss Shen just said that once she finds the gold hairpin, she will have a way to prove herself. Let's just be witnesses!"
Chen Fenghe bowed towards Chen Wu and said, "Thank you, Mr. Chen."
As she spoke, she turned her head and glanced at the faces of everyone in the Qin family. She said lightly: "I believe you all heard what the official said just now? Since the official didn't accept this gold hairpin, then my mother-in-law personally handed it to you, second aunt. It can't be missing now, right? If anyone takes the gold hairpin and doesn't return it, don't blame me for asking the officials to make the decision. I will not care about the difference between men and women and face and shame, and search everyone!"
Qin Mengyue finally came to her senses and once again tightly pulled Qian Qiuyun's hair, saying coldly, "Qian Qiuyun, return it to me quickly! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
Liu Cui said anxiously, "Second sister-in-law, if you have it, why don't you take it out quickly? Otherwise, are we going to have to strip all the men and women in the Qin family naked and searched? If that's the case, how can we women have the face to live! Your daughter isn't married yet, and your granddaughter is only seven years old. Are you going to force them to death too?"
How could Qian Qiuyun not be afraid?
She really didn't expect that Chen Fenghe would be so bold.
She has followed those officials, how can she prove her innocence?
Unfortunately, those officers were definitely on her side. If she didn't hand it over, she would probably be stripped and searched. Then...
Qian Qiuyun was at a loss and subconsciously looked at Qin Lizheng and Qin Huanhuan.
Seeing that she still refused to scream, Qin Mengyue slapped her in the face again: "Qian Qiuyun! I'll beat you to death!"
As he spoke, the next slap was about to fall!
Qian Qiuyun's face had long been swollen like a pig's head, and she cried, "Big sister, please...please stop hitting me. Master, I'm almost being beaten to death. Please...please take out the gold hairpin!"
Although Qian Qiuyun loved money, she did not keep the hairpin, which was eventually taken away by Qin Lizheng.
Qin Liqing sneered after hearing this, "Second brother, Second sister-in-law has confessed everything! It turns out you wanted to keep it for yourself!"
Qin Jinzhong and Old Lady Zhang also looked unhappy.
The two of them have always been partial to the second wife, but they never expected that the second wife would actually go behind their backs... What an ungrateful person!
Qin Lizheng's face turned pale and blue. Now that he was forced to this point, he had no choice but to take out the golden hairpin from his bosom and threw it to the ground fiercely, saying sternly:
"Chen Fenghe, you just said you can prove your innocence. I want to see how you prove it! If you can't, don't blame me for punishing you according to my family rules. I'll drown you in a pig cage!"
