"I sentenced Gui to fifty lashes, but considering her old age, I will commuted it to twenty lashes."
"Ms. Yan and her daughter, Li Shuyao, have been married for five years. This dynasty does not have laws requiring widowhood for a deceased husband. Therefore, I will make an exception and allow Ms. Yan to establish her own household."
"Adjourn."
“Bang!”
Magistrate Wang pulled out a sign from the table and threw it in front of Gui Juhua without hesitation.
"mighty......"
The verdict announced by Magistrate Wang made the lawyer stunned again. The brush in his hand stopped in mid-air, and a drop of ink dripped from the tip of the brush onto the completed case file.
Everyone in the field was silent. They did not expect that Magistrate Wang would make such a judgment.
The above case is not surprising. There have been precedents of mothers-in-law beating their daughters-in-law to death. That person was eventually sued by her daughter-in-law's brother and only spent two years in jail.
It's bad enough that Gui was beaten with a stick for insulting her eldest daughter-in-law, but why did Prefect Wang also declare that Yan's family should be set up as a female household? There has never been a precedent in this dynasty for a woman to be set up as a female household.
Are they crazy, or is the prefect crazy?
Ye Xin: "Please call me Lei Feng, the helpful Lei Feng."
After a while, Gui Juhua finally reacted. She raised her head with difficulty and looked at Magistrate Wang with a weak breath.
"Sir, she, Yan, is a member of our Li family in life and a ghost of the Li family in death."
"Sir Wang, there is no precedent in this dynasty for establishing a household for women. By doing this, aren't you openly questioning the law?"
A man with a scholarly air walked out from the crowd at the door. He was wearing a navy blue robe and looked at Yan Qingyun with cold eyes.
Magistrate Wang snorted coldly, "Are you the magistrate or am I the magistrate? What does my verdict have to do with you?"
"It has nothing to do with me, but Gui is my mother. I just have some doubts about your judgment."
The man with a scholarly air looked coldly at Gui Juhua who was being held down, and smoke came out of his nostrils with anger.
What an idiot. I told you to follow his instructions step by step, but you just can't control your mouth.
If I had known this would happen, I should have sent Yan and that little bitch to reunite with the second brother, so as to avoid the unrest in the family now.
Gui Juhua heard the familiar voice and turned back excitedly, "Boss, please help me to ask the prefect for mercy."
"I suppose this must be Master Li. You've come just in time. I just wanted to ask you a question."
Ye Xin came up to Li Shan and looked down at him. "You are a teacher who is respected by students, but you watched your own mother bully your sister-in-law. You are really oblivious to what is happening outside!"
Li Shan remained calm and rubbed his fingers together casually. "Why should I, a grown man, get involved in women's affairs? Besides, isn't it natural for a mother-in-law to teach her a lesson?"
"So, you admit that you knew it." Ye Xin showed a determined smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes, and a cold light appeared in an instant.
"You knew about it but deliberately allowed your mother to abuse and beat your sister-in-law. You really set a bad example as a teacher!"
Li Shan was tricked by Ye Xin and immediately threw his sleeves in anger, "You ignorant woman, what do you know? I have nothing to say to you."
"Forget it if you don't want to talk. Who wants to listen to your nonsense? This is the ruling of the prefect Wang. It's not your turn to complain here. If you don't accept it, go to the capital and file a complaint with the emperor. I want to see who is right in this matter."
"But, do you dare?"
The cold light in Ye Xin's eyes became more and more permeating. "Master Li, who is respected by everyone in the academy, actually condoned his own mother to beat his sister-in-law and niece in private. If the students in your academy knew about this, they wouldn't be afraid of losing your reputation as Master Li, the wise and dignified master."
Ye Xin did not say the latter sentence explicitly, but just curled the corners of his mouth and secretly conveyed it to Li Shan.
Li Shan's legs went weak, he took a step back and stared at Ye Xin in fear, wondering what that had just happened.
Ye Xin snorted disdainfully, turned back to the lobby, and helped Zhao Yuru up. "Lord Wang is wise. We are convinced by this judgment."
She touched her earlobe and released the control in Magistrate Wang's mind.
Magistrate Wang's breathing stagnated, and his empty eyes began to focus. He stood up and hesitated for a moment before walking out of the lobby.
As soon as he left, Gui Juhua was dragged away.
When she passed by Ye Xin, she spat a mouthful of thick phlegm at Ye Xin's feet, "You little bitch, you will die a miserable death."
Ye Xin quickly jumped away, "Don't worry, you will definitely die before me."
She looked at Gui Juhua impatiently and rolled her eyes at her.
"Mom, we...we finally don't have to go back."
Li Shuyao, who had been in a state of panic for a long time, finally came back to her senses. She immediately hugged Yan Qingyun's neck and started crying.
They don’t have to go home, they don’t have to go back to that dark place.
Yan Qingyun's voice was hoarse as he carefully hugged his daughter, "Yes! We can finally leave there."
Establishing a female household was something she had never thought about.
Husband, is that you?
It must be you who, if you are still alive, asked Miss Ye to come and save us!
Zhao Yuru went forward and hugged them, "Qingqing, Yaoyao, stop crying, let's go home."
..........
Zhao Yuru brought Yan Qingyun and Li Shuyao back to her home. As soon as they entered the house, Yan Qingyun pulled Li Shuyao to kneel down in front of the four of them.
Zhao Yuru was startled and hurried forward to pull the man up.
But Yan Qingyun looked so thin that Zhao Yuru couldn't pull him up no matter how hard she tried.
"Miss Ye, Ruru, Doctor Yuan, and Weiwei, I will never forget the kindness you have shown me. Please accept our greetings."
She put her hands on the ground and lowered her head.
