Chapter 312: A Noble Family

It was all clichéd nonsense, and Bei Jingchu didn't even bother to listen.

Her sympathy was not for women, but for the weak who had suffered injustice.

Mrs. Chang has turned into a murderer, how can she be said to be innocent?

The purpose of the anti-normal Tingyi was the last sentence: "Your Highness, please forgive her this time considering her young age and this being her first offense."

After expressing feelings, the next step is to exchange for benefits.

"The Chang family often interacts with the prince, and Mo Qing happens to be your highness's companion in study."

"Your Highness has done a favor to the Chang family, so the Chang family should also bring some conveniences to the prince."

"Your Highness has an official named Qin under his command. I think he is qualified enough to be promoted."

Bei Jingchu was speechless.

“Is a year a long time?”

"The murderer will not be punished with a life for a life, but will only be sentenced to one year in prison."

Chang Tingyi replied: "Your Highness, she is just a servant. How could she let her master pay with her life?"

"Yeah, that's not possible now."

"So your sister is very lucky that she broke the law at this time."

Bei Jingchu thought of the various cases she had seen since she was born.

"I have always felt that the laws of Dai Viet are not perfect. For example, those who kidnapped and sold innocent people will have their lives ruined, but they are only sentenced to three years in prison."

"Killing an innocent maid will only result in one year in prison."

"I will change step by step, but since the law has not changed, I will sentence him as he should."

“So she got away with it.”

"Want to show favoritism...are you worthy?"

Bei Jingchu tried her best to hide the sarcasm on her face, but she couldn't.

Even her words were filled with anger: "My dear, my dear husband of the Chang family of Haixu, even though you are in the deep palace, I have heard of your good name, Chang Tingyi."

"You are indeed well-mannered and gentle. But now it seems that you and Chang are just scumbags who know little things but no moral principles."

Chang Tingyi wanted to explain.

Who would take a servant's life seriously? Aren't the powerful and the noble the same?

But the prince was already impatient, and waved his hand, saying, "See you out."

He choked and had to retreat.

After returning home, Mrs. Chang was waiting for him in the yard.

Seeing him coming back, he hurried to meet him.

"Brother, how is it?"

"Damn it, you dare to sue me."

"We have already paid them back. Ten taels of silver could have bought two servants. Why are they still making a fuss?"

"Are you greedy and want more money?"

"Brother, you can't get used to those hungry bastards."

Another man scolded her: "How could a loser like you come from our family?"

"I told you to control your temper."

"Servants are worthless. If you kill them, you can just buy new ones. But if you want to beat or kill them, you have to go home quietly."

"There is no evidence. Who can prove that you killed him?"

"And then you killed someone in the street."

Mrs. Chang glared at him aggrievedly, then looked at her brother and said coquettishly, "Brother, help me~ I don't want to go to jail~"

"Even if I manage to get a better cell, I don't even have anyone to serve me. How am I supposed to survive?"

Chang Tingyi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Who am I? How can I save you from the prince?"

She truly loves her people like her own children and hates evil like her own enemies.

Uphold the laws of Dai Viet and never give in.

How could a mere Chang have the right to make the crown prince of a country go against her principles?

The girl was anxious and shouted, "Why not? It's obviously you who are not conscientious enough."

"We are such a prestigious family, even the Yue Dynasty is not as old as ours."

"I just killed a maid, why should I go to jail?

Another person scolded, "Little sister, how can you yell at your brother? Where are your manners?"

Mrs. Chang calmed down and bowed to apologize: "I'm sorry, brother, I lost my temper."

Chang Tingyi suddenly recalled the little prince's mocking smile and her words: "He values ​​small details but not big principles."

Chang Tingyi felt overwhelmed.

It's just beating a servant to death, how can it be considered unrighteous?

But in this matter, they were indeed at fault.

At this time, the servant came to report: "Sir, the soldiers are already outside the mansion."

"I'll ask them to wait a moment, you see..."

Chang Tingyi could only educate his sister: "I told you long ago that no matter how arrogant the noble families are in private, they are all citizens of Dai Viet in public."

"You were too arrogant this time."

In the hopeful eyes of Mrs. Chang, he said reluctantly: "Brother will take care of everything for you and won't let you be too sad in there."

"Just go ahead."

Chang Tingyi was very tired and went back to his room.

Only Mrs. Chang and Chang Erlang were left outside.

The girl grabbed the edge of the stone table tightly to keep herself steady.

"How is that possible?"

"Why can't even my brother save me?"

"He rose to the position of Vice Minister at a young age. He is the most capable elder brother and the pride of the Chang family."

"Killing a maid is such a big deal that even my brother can't save me?"

The extremely domineering person started to cry: "Didn't Father always say that the foundation of the aristocratic family is deeper than that of the Yue Dynasty?"

"Why can't you even protect me?"

Looking at his spoiled little sister, Chang Erlang could only sigh.
