Yi Yami asked Chen Nu to help deal with the matter of the Qin family's failure to fulfill its promise.
As soon as Chen Nu walked to the door of the Qin family, he heard Mrs. Qin say that he and He Tuyuan were protecting each other. At this time, his eyebrows were tightly furrowed.
"Mrs. Qin, do you really think that your little tricks can't be seen through or exposed by others?" Yi Yami said loudly, not caring whether it would attract other people to come and watch.
"You little girl, what tricks did I play on you? Do you think a girl from another family should be in charge of the affairs between me and the He family?" Mrs. Qin said with a sneer.
"Why not? You relied on my cousin's honesty and deceived him into saying that as long as he helped you get your family's property and land back, you would cancel the engagement with the Du family. What about now? You go back on your word again. My cousin is a scholar and a gentleman, so I'm embarrassed to refute you. But I'm different. I'm a businessman, and the dirty tricks I've seen in the business world are much more sophisticated than yours." Yi Yami clapped his hands and handed over the contract signed by the He family.
"Everyone, this is the contract that the Qin family signed with my cousin at that time. It states in black and white that as long as my cousin brings back the property and land contract that Qin Guangzu signed with the gambling house, the Qin family will agree to cancel the engagement with the Du family." Yi Yami asked Qian Fugui to read it word by word to the onlookers.
Mrs. Qin originally wanted to ask where the words came from, but she saw her own name written clearly on the paper.
Mrs. Qin glared at Hui'er and said, "What are you going to do?" with a warning look.
Hui'er looked back at him, bewildered. "Madam, I don't know what's going on either."
Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, Madam Qin began to cry out, "Help me! Oh my God! I am doomed! The new number one scholar is bullying me, an orphan and a widow, and is trying to snatch the marriage that my late husband had arranged for my son. What can I do?"
The onlookers pointed and talked, not knowing what was going on.
"How can you do this? This top scholar is going too far."
"Yes, it's too early to comment. I know this Boss Yi. Her family has never done anything harmful."
Seeing her crying and wiping her tears, Yiyami really couldn't help it. "Madam Qin, your son Qin Guangzu loves gambling like his life. He lost tens of thousands of taels of silver and all the property and land of your Qin family in the gambling house. It was you who begged my cousin and said that as long as he could help you get your property and land back, you would agree to cancel the engagement with the Du family. The contract is here, in black and white, and you still want to deny it. County Magistrate Chen followed my cousin to act as a witness the day before yesterday. My cousin redeemed the gambling house contract from you personally and handed it to you personally. County Magistrate Chen can be a witness, but you say that officials protect each other. My cousin hasn't even become an official yet, and you are making up stories about him. Don't you know what the crime of slandering an official appointed by the court is?" Yiyami spoke calmly, every word was clear, and the onlookers got a general idea.
"How could I bully you, an orphan and a widow? How could I take over your family's engagement?" Yi Yami asked.
Madam Qin wanted to speak, but Yi Yami didn't give her a chance to speak. "Madam Qin, I guess you must have thought of the ink used in the contract. You can use vinegar to make the writing disappear. This is a common method used by those deceitful charlatans in the countryside."
Yi Yami said as she asked Qian Fugui to bring the things over. "Here, everyone, please look. This is normal ink. After writing, the writing will only fade over time, but it won't disappear completely. This is ink with vinegar added. It's no different from normal ink when you write with it, but you see, as time goes by, it will gradually fade or even disappear."
Yi Yami conducted an experiment on the spot, and everyone's attention was attracted. As time passed, the handwriting really faded and disappeared.
There was an uproar in the audience, and Chen Nu, He Tuyuan and others also widened their eyes.
Mrs. Qin fell to the ground when she saw that her plan was exposed.
Yi Yami continued, "If I were a member of the Du family, I would definitely not like relatives like you. You use people and then kick them aside, even using all kinds of tricks and refusing to admit what you did. If I were a family like that, I would definitely not and would not dare to marry my daughter to such a family."
The onlookers echoed.
"Yes, who would dare to marry into his family?"
"And look at that old woman's face. You can tell she's not a good mother-in-law."
"Stay away from his house. I heard his family made their fortune from gambling. No wonder his son is also a gambler..."
Something like that.
He Tuyuan handed a petition to Chen Nu and said, "Master Chen, this is my petition. I want to sue the Qin family for not keeping their promise."
Chen Nu looked at all the evidence and wrote down everything that happened clearly.
Chen Nu immediately ruled that the engagement between the Qin and Du families should be cancelled, and that Miss Du’s freedom to marry had nothing to do with the Qin family.
Mrs. Qin fainted on the spot.
Huier hurried over to help her.
Yi Yami said coldly, "Find a doctor to look after her and discipline your son. We have finally got our property and land back, don't let him squander it all."
After saying these words, Yi Yami and He Tuyuan went to Chen Nu to ask for the verdict, and then decided to go to Shandandan Village after getting it.
This matter caused a sensation for a while. Everyone said that the top scholar spent a lot of money to redeem the Qin family's property and land that the second son of the Qin family had lost for the Du family's daughter.
Many people also said that the number one scholar was deeply in love, some said that Miss Du was very charming, and some said that Miss Du was not faithful to her husband. Some people even made the story of their meeting into a play and performed it in teahouses and restaurants. There were all kinds of rumors at that time.
