Chapter 157 Old Master Su was so angry he almost died.
He no longer cared about keeping family scandals private; he simply sent his advisor to his house to invite his father over to the courtroom for the trial.
Lord Su was truly afraid of his muddle-headed father. Not believing his story, he ordered a re-examination of the witnesses and their testimonies.
Let his father hear firsthand what the true nature of the woman he dotes on really is.
Lord Su's method was a bit too direct, but it really provoked his father to no end, making the old man, who thought he had found true love, so angry that he almost rolled his eyes and died.
The old man learned that his true love had been having an affair with a servant for years, and had even fathered a son for that servant. The old man thought he was still as vigorous as ever and had a son in his old age, but in the end, he was just raising someone else's son.
The thought that he had called him "darling" before he came back, only to find out he wasn't his biological son, was unbearable.
Lord Su seemed afraid that his father hadn't been sufficiently traumatized, so he had his stepmother listen in on his interrogation from the other side.
Upon learning that the servant who had been intimate with her just yesterday was secretly keeping three beautiful young women behind her back, Lord Su's stepmother forgot her status and rushed out to fight with the servant.
When Lord Su's father heard the so-called truth before his second wife came out, he thought it was just a play that Lord Su had hired people to put on.
But when he saw his beloved young wife rush out like a shrew, cursing and fighting with the man kneeling in the hall, his sense of relief turned into grief and indignation. He could no longer bear it, rolled his eyes, and fainted.
When the old man came to listen in, Master Yang didn't dare to leave and kept a close eye on him the whole time.
When I saw the old man faint, my heart raced. I truly felt that when the adults in his family got ruthless, they didn't even care about their own father's life or death. This family is really too exciting.
He quickly instructed the doctor, who was already prepared to treat the person, to begin the rescue, while he went to the front to report the situation.
When Lord Su heard that his own father had fainted, he merely gave a cold laugh and did not get up to go to the back to check on him.
Before marrying this harlot, he was indeed a qualified father.
But after marrying this harlot, he changed completely, becoming even more terrifying than a stranger.
After his youngest son was born, he became selfish and vampire-like, only knowing how to suck the blood of the couple.
Now, let him see for himself what kind of woman is beside his pillow, hmph!
Finally, Lord Su, citing the family's disgrace, dishonor, and improper conduct as grounds, divorced his father's wife and also kicked out the child born to that wicked woman during her affair.
That servant boy's name was Yang Weiwei. He was the childhood sweetheart of his harlot stepmother, Lin Qingmei. The reason he was able to marry his father was entirely due to a trap set by Yang Weiwei for his father.
Grandpa Su thought it was because his charm was as strong as ever, and he didn't think much of Lin Qingmei's appearance. He deserved to be cuckolded for so many years and to have raised someone else's son for so long without treating his own son well.
Lord Su also returned all the money found in the servant's house to the dozens of victims who went to court to identify the servant.
"Miss Lin, how much silver did this beast steal from you?" The victims, having received the silver that had been stolen from them by the servant, happily kowtowed to Lord Su before leaving the crowd with their money.
Having eliminated the scourge in his household, Lord Su was in a good mood.
He personally walked up to Lin Luoxi and asked her how much silver the servant had robbed her of.
"This, this..." How could she explain this? Was she supposed to say that she had been robbed of a hundred taels of copper coins? But a hundred taels of copper coins was such a large sum that it was impossible to hide it from the shrewd Lord Su.
But if she wasn't robbed, then where did her hundred taels of copper coins go?
"Lord Su, that man stole the one hundred taels of copper coins my second sister just exchanged at the bank." Lin Wenqian didn't know what Lin Luoxi was hesitating about, and seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, he spoke first.
The servant, whose face was already bruised and swollen from Lin Qingmei's beating, mumbled incoherently when he heard Lin Wenqian's words: "Sir, sir, I really didn't steal her money."
"Shut up! If we hadn't arrived early, you and your disgusting henchmen might have done something irreparable to my second sister."
As Lin Wenqian recalled the scene he had just witnessed, he grew increasingly furious. He quickly stepped forward and kicked the servant in the face.
Lin Wenqian had been training his physical fitness with Lin Luoxi recently, and he used all his strength in that kick.
Now that's bad. Lin Wenqian kicked the servant's jaw so hard it was dislocated, and he couldn't say anything anymore.
Reminded by Lin Wenqian, Xie Hanchuan also remembered the scene they saw when they arrived. He followed closely behind Lin Wenqian and kicked the servant with all his might.
When the money shop manager saw his servant being beaten by Lin Wenqian and Xie Hanchuan, he simply turned his head away and pretended not to see it.
When the constables and yamen runners in the yamen saw Lin Wenqian and Xie Hanchuan beating the servant, they all lowered their heads, looking at their toes, and pretended not to see anything.
Lin Qingmei, who had just been fighting with the servant, felt heartbroken when she saw Lin Wenqian and Xie Hanchuan beating her man, and rushed over to protect him.
"Guards, escort all bystanders out of the yamen."
When Lord Su saw that Lin Qingmei, who had once been his stepmother, was now openly protecting the man without any pretense, he felt sorry for her heartless father and hurriedly ordered his servants to drag the woman out of the yamen.
"How dare you! Let me go! Let me go right now!" Presumably because she had just been fighting with the servant, she hadn't heard that Lord Su had divorced his wife on behalf of his father. Now, Lin Qingmei was still acting like the old lady of the county magistrate's family.
"Ha, daring to cause trouble in the courtroom, drag someone away and give her ten strokes of the cane, then throw her out." Lord Su was furious to see Lin Qingmei still daring to act like an old woman, so he directly ordered his men to give Lin Qingmei ten strokes of the cane to vent his anger.
Mu Qing is the younger brother of Lord Su's wife. He had long disliked Lin Qingmei. Now, having received Lord Su's order, he immediately gave his brother a look.
The two of them worked together to lift Lin Qingmei up onto the wooden stool. Before Lin Qingmei could even finish patting herself, the wooden board slammed down on her back.
"Ah! Ah..." As the wooden board struck, Lin Qingmei let out a sharp scream, which frightened the servant who was stammering and trying to say something for himself. He quickly shut his mouth, trembling all over, and tried his best to make himself less noticeable.
