Gu Nian tugged at Gu Xin, telling her to stop talking, and the two sisters obediently said they would remember.
Grandma Gu glanced at the two sisters with disdain. They were still two troublesome things. They were already so conspicuous in a small town. What would happen if the second sister became an official and went to a big city?
It seems I need to have a serious talk with Brother Chuan about whether I should accompany the second brother in the future.
But the eldest son's family is also a troublesome bunch. I can't rest easy if I don't take them with me, but I also get annoyed by them.
Grandma Gu was once again troubled by her children and grandchildren!
Why did you have so many children in the first place?
...
Once Xu Changfeng and Xu Fangshi are apprehended, this case will become much easier.
The mother and son were interrogated overnight, witnesses were arrested the next morning, and the trial was held in the afternoon.
The case is quite simple. That afternoon, after Xu Changfeng and his mother returned home, they met Xu Fangshi's twin sister, Fangshi, who was at home.
Fang's life was not as good as her sister Xu Fang's. Her husband died early, and her daughter got married last year. This time, she came to Xu Fang mainly to borrow money, asking for one thousand taels.
Xu Fangshi certainly didn't have that many.
Fang threatened Xu Fangshi, saying that if she didn't lend her money, she would tell her brother-in-law about Xu Fangshi's past before she got married.
Xu Fangshi was scared, but she didn't have that much money. That day, Xu Fangshi was beaten by Cai Xiaolian and felt very uncomfortable. When she returned home, she was threatened by her sister. In anger, she smashed Fangshi with a vase in the house, killing her on the spot.
All she wanted to do was knock the person unconscious, lock them up on the estate, and prevent her sister from talking nonsense to her husband.
As a result, the person was crushed to death. She panicked and called her son.
After discussing it, Xu Changfeng came up with a plan to frame Gu Nian and force her to beg him.
During the interrogation, Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian were also in the courtroom. He discovered the key point: the deceased, Fang, used pre-marital matters to threaten Xu Fangshi, causing Xu Fangshi, a woman, to commit such a heinous act. The reason was definitely not simple.
So he set a language trap and tricked Xu Fangshi into revealing things about her before she got married.
Taking advantage of her slip of the tongue, Lord Su pressed her for answers.
Finally, it was discovered that Xu Fangshi had married with a child in her arms. Xu Changfeng's father had assumed the child was his, but it turned out not to be.
Xu Changfeng's father was merely a sucker who took over the burden.
After the truth came out, Xu Changfeng's father left in a huff. It was too embarrassing; the son he had raised as a treasure for over a decade turned out not to be his own.
Back then, Xu Fangshi not only had affairs with herself, but also with other people.
Xu Changfeng couldn't believe it. He just wanted to marry the girl he loved. How did he end up with his bastard child?
A life for a life. The daughter of the deceased, Fang, was unaware that her mother had died, but the case was clear. Xu Fang was executed in the autumn. Xu Changfeng was an accomplice, and it was his idea to frame an innocent person. Xu Changfeng was sentenced to exile to the extremely harsh conditions of the Northwest for life and stripped of his scholar title.
This case was discussed by the people of the prefecture for a long time. The Xu family was so ashamed of this matter that they threw a letter of divorce at Xu Fangshi in prison and then moved away with the whole family.
Xu Fangshi also had a daughter, who was also Xu Changfeng's sister. The Xu family was unsure whether she was their own flesh and blood, but they did not abandon her.
But this young woman's future days are probably not going to be easy.
Cai Xiaolian was deeply moved by this incident. After returning home, she locked herself in her room for an entire day and didn't come out.
