Chapter 1081 Da Qi Lu
Having finally managed to get rid of the agitated Doctor Xin, Lin Yuesha breathed a sigh of relief. She ignored Qi Heng and turned to leave.
"Aren't you going to check on the Lord's injuries?"
Bai Ying asked a question, secretly hoping for chaos. He thought Lin Yuesha should seize the opportunity to expose her master's disguise.
"What are you looking at? I'm here for Doctor Xin."
Lin Yuesha rolled her eyes. For the sake of her own and Qi Heng's reputation, she had no choice but to lie and cover for Qi Heng, which was embarrassing.
It was getting late, and Lin Yuesha was in a hurry to return to the fishing village. Fortunately, this trip had not been without any gains.
Regarding the issue of doctors' compensation, Doctor Xin offered many insightful suggestions, which Lin Yuesha decided to adopt.
"My wife, I will return to the fishing village tomorrow."
Qi Heng inwardly groaned. His wife had left the fishing village without him receiving any news, which must be due to his subordinates' negligence.
"what ever."
Lin Yuesha didn't turn her head and ignored Qi Heng. Who came up with this terrible idea? After being poisoned, instead of returning to the fishing village, she went to a brothel to heal her wounds.
“Miss, the Lord is always a man of his word. The situation was urgent at the time, and he probably forgot to discuss it with you.”
Qingxing felt a little disappointed that she hadn't been able to expose her master.
I want to be alone.
Lin Yuesha sat in the carriage, her mouth dry. She hadn't drunk any water in the brothel, so she gulped down a bowl of tea like a cow.
Ultimately, although the couple trusted each other, it was difficult for them to blindly follow each other.
For example, even after learning that Qi Heng was in a brothel, Lin Yuesha still suspected that Qi Heng was philandering, rather than blindly trusting him.
After realizing this, Lin Yuesha felt a little disappointed, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt it was a good thing.
Just as she never told Qi Heng that she was a time traveler, it wasn't that she didn't trust him, but rather that Lin Yuesha couldn't explain why; she herself didn't know.
By keeping a calm mind, even if Qi Heng does something unforgivable in the future, Lin Yuesha will not be discouraged and will continue to live her own life.
After figuring it out, Lin Yuesha suddenly felt enlightened.
At noon the next day, Qi Heng returned to the fishing village.
Qi Heng didn't sleep a wink last night, racking his brains trying to figure out how to coax his wife. He couldn't come up with a solution no matter how hard he tried.
He was alone in a room with his subordinates Bai Ying and Ji Meiren when his wife misunderstood it as a love triangle and questioned his character. Not only that, she even said that he had tricked her into marriage. Qi Heng couldn't help but reflect that he must have done something wrong to arouse his wife's suspicion.
In short, no matter what the mistakes are, they are all his fault. The first rule of the family is that the wife is always right.
Qi Heng was preparing to make a low profile when Lin Yuesha completely ignored the embarrassment of the previous night and was writing and drawing in the study, completely at ease.
"Mr. Zhao made his signature braised pork today, let's go to the cafeteria."
Qi Heng brought over a cup of tea and carefully placed it in front of Lin Yuesha, saying, "As soon as I arrived at the fishing village, the aroma wafted out."
Zhao's braised pork was exceptional. When Prince Luo returned to the capital to take charge of the overall situation, he always mentioned Zhao in his letters and even wanted to recruit her to his residence.
"Husband, the village entrance is at least two or three miles from the canteen. How could the aroma travel that far?"
Lin Yuesha put down her pen and deliberately pointed out Qi Heng's grammatical errors.
"Yes, my wife is right. I was exaggerating."
Qi Heng observed Lin Yuesha's expression but couldn't discern her emotions, and his heart skipped a beat.
Qi Heng believed he understood Lin Yuesha's character, which meant the girl had come to terms with it and wasn't going to hold it against him.
In this situation, it's difficult to coax someone back, but if you don't coax them and let things develop, it will eventually create estrangement and barriers between the couple.
For Qi Heng, all tricks were ineffective; the only way was to win someone's heart with sincerity.
Qi Heng came prepared. On the way to the canteen with his wife, he mentioned that he was currently compiling the Great Qi Code, revising and deleting unreasonable parts to improve the law.
One of them presented a challenge for Qi Heng.
Tell me about it.
Lin Yuesha was very interested in the laws of the Great Qi Dynasty and hurriedly asked questions.
"I wonder if Madam has heard of the case that happened in Yingcheng a few days ago."
In the city lived a family. The newlywed Wang was a young woman whose husband was a bodyguard. After the New Year, he went to another place with his bodyguard team, leaving her alone at home.
I've heard a little about it.
Lin Yuesha was busy advocating for universal healthcare when she vaguely heard someone mention it. She asked, "Is this case related to your amendments to the law?"
"My lady, the prefect of Yingcheng is at a loss when it comes to determining the sentence in this case."
Qi Heng explained to Lin Yuesha in detail that the case was simple, but the prefect was in a dilemma about how to determine the sentence.
After her husband left to work as a镖师 (bodyguard/escort), Wang lived alone.
That night, a scoundrel saw that Wang was beautiful and had evil intentions. He sneaked into Wang's house under the cover of darkness.
“Anyone who enters another’s house at night without cause shall be flogged forty times. If the homeowner kills the person on the spot, no further action shall be taken.”
After hearing just the beginning, Lin Yuesha immediately recited one of the laws of the Great Qi Dynasty, which surprised Qi Heng.
The scholar was familiar with the laws of the Great Qi Dynasty, but he never expected that his little girl could answer so fluently.
"no way."
Lin Yuesha waved her hand, "The Great Qi is different from modern times. There are significant differences in the laws, and the one she just mentioned is one of them."
In modern times, if someone enters someone else's home without a reason, the homeowner must ask for the reason. Even if it is a thief, the first thing to do is to call the police, rather than attacking or killing the intruder.
Killing an intruder without cause is a serious crime in modern times, but in the Great Qi Dynasty, it can be exempted from punishment.
Lin Yuesha would never tell Qi Heng that she was thinking this way, since she was a law-abiding citizen and would always be prepared to find loopholes in the law.
"There is indeed such a provision, but there is a supplementary clause following this precedent."
If the other party has begged for mercy and expressed willingness to come to the government to confess their crime, then if the master commits murder, the master can be charged with the crime.
However, this addition is very difficult to define unless there are witnesses.
"Let me finish explaining the case."
Qi Heng reviewed the case and found that the scoundrel who broke into the Wang family's house did indeed die. However, the murder was not committed by the Wang family, but by the Wang family's lover, Chang Er.
Before her marriage, Wang had a childhood sweetheart named Chang Er. The two had already pledged their lives to each other. However, Wang's parents were materialistic and forced her to marry a man who worked as a镖师 (bodyguard/escort) year-round.
"In other words, the thief broke into the Wang family's house hoping to take advantage of them, but his plan backfired and he ran into Chang Er."
Lin Yuesha drew a sketch on rice paper and marked the relationships between the characters.
"Yes, according to the neighbors, the thief was screaming and begging for mercy, but Chang Er seemed not to hear him and still killed him."
The neighbors' testimonies complicated the case.
First, this involves the crime of adultery.
It's illogical that Wang's childhood sweetheart from the same village would come to a married man's house for a tryst in the middle of the night.
To protect the Wang family, Chang Er claimed that he, like the thieves, had climbed over the wall to enter.
When Wang learned of this, she screamed in fright, but for the sake of her reputation, she dared not make a sound.
