Xiao Cunyu straightened his clothes, stood up straight, and said with a serious look, "Who would look down on silver? Master Zong, please remember to reward me. Don't even mention five taels of silver, even five cents will do."
She does have quite a lot of property now. All her property added up to about 11,000 taels.
She hasn't spent much recently, but her income has also been getting less and less. It can be said that she is living beyond her means. If she encounters a money-eating ghost, all her money may be gone.
Some of these ghosts had a hard life in their lifetime and want to enjoy a luxurious life after death. What can she do?
"My son is right indeed." Lord Zong added silently.
What a money-loving person.
…
Go to court.
Everyone knelt down.
Xiao Cunyu looked at the crowd and easily found Qian Li'niang's husband Qiu Yun among them.
It's no wonder that Qian Li'niang fell in love with this man at first sight. This man didn't look like a coolie selling food. He was gentle and refined, with a pale face and a slightly tired look. He was dressed simply and was very reserved. He was kneeling on his stomach, and his thin figure looked a little pitiful. He was a completely tragic image.
Master Zong first asked about the identity of the man in the hall, and then asked, "Qiu Yun, did you report to the authorities that Qian Li Niang had eloped with someone?"
"Yes, yes, sir...After Li Niang married me, she couldn't have children. That day, my mother scolded her, and she got angry, saying that I was a coward and didn't know how to side with her...This kind of quarrel has happened many times. I, I persuaded my mother, and she has restrained herself a little. But Li Niang is very sensitive, and even the smallest things can irritate her. I think she must be too tired to be with me, so...Sir, I don't want to pursue Li Niang's crime of adultery. If she comes back, I am willing to divorce her and won't force her."
Qiu Yun sighed and looked quite infatuated.
"Qiu Yun, Qian Li Niang is already dead. Now this Seventh Young Master has accused you of murdering Qian Li Niang. Do you plead guilty?" Lord Zong said again.
When Qiu Yun heard this, he was shocked: "Dead!? How is that possible!? Li Niang! Li Niang——"
As he spoke, he looked as if he had suffered a great blow, trembling all over and almost fainting.
Qian's parents, who were kneeling behind him, were listening to Master Zong's words in a daze. In an instant, all the blood drained from their faces. Qian's mother rolled her eyes and fainted on the ground without any warning.
Lord Zong had anticipated this and called a doctor to give the two men acupuncture to wake them up.
"Please, sir, help my daughter!" After waking up, Qian's mother knelt on the ground and cried.
Qiu Yun was also heartbroken. "Sir, how could I possibly have killed Li Niang? She had already eloped with someone. I, I have been unable to sleep or eat these days, unable to find her. I never thought she would be... It must have been that hateful adulterer! Li Niang took two hundred taels of silver with her when she left. It must have been him! He must have been tempted by the money..."
At this time, Li Niang's ghost could no longer hold back and was a little crazy.
"You also saw Qian Li'niang eloping?" Lord Zong looked at the neighbors of the Qiu family again.
The neighbors all nodded. "Mrs. Li was wearing her favorite cherry-pink dress. It's made of excellent material. We've all seen it before. She had a fierce argument with Qiu Yun the other day. The argument was so intense that the neighbors could hear it. She even cursed the old lady of the Qiu family, calling her an old woman..."
"Then have you seen his face? You should think carefully before speaking. If you clearly didn't see it but say that you did, you might end up in jail for the rest of your life." Xiao Cunyu spoke quietly from the side.
