Su Nanxing asked Gu Jiu, what if Huamei lied to protect her cousin?
Gu Jiu thought about it and decided that if that was the case, he would have to look at the physical evidence.
For example, tracing the source of medicine.
Su Nanxing clapped his hands and asked Gu Jiu to check quickly where the medicine in Wang's father and mother's hands came from.
Gu Jiu took the order and left. Su Nanxing looked at Xiu Bai who was not far away, hoping that the results of Gu Jiu's investigation would not be used.
At this time, the county magistrate was interrogating Wang Daya. Wang Daya was honest and confessed everything.
But when the county magistrate asked why he did this.
Wang Daya blamed everything on her parents, saying that they forced her to do everything.
The medicine was also given by her parents, so she didn't know where it came from.
Because in this dynasty, aphrodisiacs were explicitly prohibited.
Even brothels are not allowed to use these drugs.
So the Wang couple must have some skills to be able to get this kind of medicine.
The county magistrate asked someone to bring Huamei's parents over. Xiu Bai said that they were in Taohua Village at the moment, so he asked the officials to go to Taohua Village to look for them.
When the officials arrived at Taohua Village, Wang's parents were still forcing Village Chief Qian to go to the county to bring Wang Daya back.
But they absolutely dared not let the two of them go to the county government office.
The arrival of the officials also ended this farce.
The king's father and mother had to go even if they didn't want to. There was no other way, so the king's mother could only drag her sister along.
Qian was worried, so she followed decisively and brought Huamei with her.
Village chief Qian wanted to stop it and bring his daughter back.
But Qian shouted that if Village Chief Qian didn't let them go, she would take her daughter and die!
These words shocked Village Chief Qian. He never expected that his gentle daughter-in-law, who had been with him for many years, would say such words.
There was no choice but for Village Chief Qian to let go and follow them.
I thought that by then, I would be able to bring some wives and children along.
At this time, Village Chief Qian felt a little regretful that he did not bring his son out.
If my son were here, he might be able to control my wife and daughter.

In the court, the county magistrate began to interrogate Wang's father and mother.
When Wang Daya saw her parents, she felt instantly at peace.
When the county magistrate asked about the source of the medicine, the two men knelt on the ground, not daring to hide anything, and told him everything.
Everything went smoothly afterwards, and what Su Nanxing was worried about did not happen.
When Gu Jiu came back, he was bringing the medicine seller back.
Fortunately, Gu Jiu arrived early. If he had waited until the county magistrate's men came to catch him, the man would have already disappeared.
When Gu Jiu arrived, he had already packed his bags and was ready to run away.
This man looks unattractive and is very skinny.
When asked about the source of the medicine, he said that he collected the herbs himself and made them to make some money.
Things went smoothly afterwards, except that at the end, Xiu Bai's mother-in-law grabbed Huamei and kept begging for mercy.
The other party even wanted to pull Village Chief Qian to kneel down with Xiu Bai.
Su Nanxing was so scared that he took two steps forward. Fortunately, Village Chief Qian pulled his wife up in time.
If he really knelt down, even if Xiu Bai was right, his reputation would be damaged.
After all, she was her mother-in-law, which was equivalent to a mother kneeling before her son.
Xiu Bai looked at Huamei who was standing aside silently and even wanted to kneel down with her mother.
He sighed and asked Huamei, "My lady, do you have anything to say?"
Qian quickly pushed her daughter and said, "Please help your cousin. Your cousin saved your life. If it weren't for her, you wouldn't be alive today."
Huamei raised her head and said, "My husband, my cousin didn't succeed anyway, so why don't we just forget about it."
Huamei really felt that now with the county magistrate as a witness, no one would doubt her husband's innocence.
So it’s totally fine to let my cousin go, it would be great for the whole family to have fun together.
Su Nanxing was listening at the side and was extremely angry.
However, among the people behind, there were also people who supported Huamei and her daughter.
Anyway, the scholar was not hurt seriously, just his leg was injured, he just needs to rest.
His mother-in-law was about to kneel down, so the scholar should have been more generous.
Just as Su Nanxing was about to turn around to see who was making such a fuss, she heard Xiu Bo say, "You can release Wang Daya, but I will divorce you."
Huamei's eyes widened. "What? Why do you want a divorce?"
The king's father and mother also disapproved. If they divorced, how could they take advantage of him?
Qian also disagreed. If they divorced, where would her daughter find such a good man?
Village Chief Qian, however, said nothing. Facing his daughter's gaze, he simply said, "You make your own decision. All I can do is let you divorce and return home, and I will support you."
Qian absolutely disagreed, but Xiu Bo was adamant. "Either we divorce, or the Wang family receives the punishment they deserve. It's your choice."
Of course, Huamei didn't want to divorce. She kept begging Xiubai and emphasized that Xiubai was not hurt, that her cousin was not successful, and that she was forced.
The same old talk went on and on until the magistrate could no longer bear it and shouted, "Alright! Divorce or take Wang Daya with you? Make the decision now."
Qian was frightened and didn't dare to speak, just staring at Huamei.
Wang Mu and Wang Daya also looked at Huamei with tears in their eyes, waiting for Huamei to make a decision.
Huamei closed her eyes and said, "I choose to divorce."
Xiu Bai immediately asked the county magistrate to be a witness and help the two parties to get a divorce.
After the divorce, before leaving, Xiu Bai said to Hua Mei, "I will ask my mother to pack your dowry and luggage and send them to your home.
You don't need to come back, just go home with your parents."
Before Huamei could say anything, the Queen Mother became furious, "Our Huamei is so beautiful, even if we divorce, there will still be someone who wants her!
