After Lin Jiuyue and others left, County Magistrate Yang returned to the county government office and began to send people to look for the Li family.
Three days later.
As soon as Lin Jiuyue got up, Xiyue hurried over.
"Miss, Miss, someone has come from the government office and asked you to go to the county government office. They are waiting in the yard now."
Lin Jiuyue spoke calmly.
"Did you say what it was?"
Xiyue nodded.
"Miss, someone said that the Li family's people have been found and are now in the government office. The county magistrate is waiting for you to come and start the trial."
Lin Jiuyue blinked.
The Li family members were found? Does this mean that he can seek justice for Xiyue and the others soon?
Thinking of this, Lin Jiuyue didn't even feel like eating breakfast.
"Xiyue, you've suffered so much in the past few days. It's time for us to seek justice. Let's go!"
Xiyue looked at the breakfast on the table.
"But, miss, you haven't had breakfast yet."
Lin Jiuyue smiled at Xiyue,
"We eat breakfast every day, but justice is not something you can get every day. Let's go! Today your young lady will properly vent your anger for you."
Xiyue hesitated for a moment and followed Lin Jiuyue out the door.
yamen.
As soon as Lin Jiuyue arrived, she saw the eldest lady of the Li family sitting on a chair beside her.
"My Lord, County Magistrate, I wonder if you are going to call me here, but are you prepared to make the decision for me?"
Lin Jiuyue saw Mrs. Li sitting on the chair, and she didn't look like a "criminal" at all, so she asked dissatisfiedly.
When County Magistrate Yang heard Lin Jiuyue's words, he subconsciously looked at the eldest lady of the Li family, and then said awkwardly.
"Haha, Miss Lin, I called you here this time because of what happened between you two."
Lin Jiuyue sneered.
"Haha, really? If it's about what happened before, then why is she still sitting on the chair? As far as I know, 'prisoners' are not allowed to sit during the trial."
County Magistrate Yang felt even more embarrassed when he heard Lin Jiuyue's words.
"Haha, well, Miss Lin, this county magistrate has just discussed this matter with Madam Li. Madam Li said she wanted to discuss it with you privately. Strictly speaking, this isn't a trial."
Lin Jiuyue: ...
Well, before the court opens a trial in the 21st century, it will also call the defendant and the plaintiff together and ask the plaintiff and the defendant whether they are willing to resolve the matter privately.
If both parties are willing to negotiate and the results of the negotiation are satisfactory to both parties, then there is no need to go to court.
Of course, this generally only occurs in civil cases.
I didn't expect that there was such a process in ancient times.
"Is that so? Then I have to ask my servants first to see if they are willing to negotiate. If they are not willing, then this matter is not negotiable."
Mrs. Li: ...
I, the great lady of the Li family, am not even as good as a servant like her! If this gets out, where will I put my face?
"you……!"
Lin Jiuyue interrupted the eldest lady of the Li family with a cold look in her eyes.
"Madam Li, do you have any objections? If so, I won't ask. Let's just wait for the court session. I believe the county magistrate will definitely give justice to me and the other victims."
The words that the eldest lady of the Li family had not yet been spoken were instantly blocked.
If she really wasn't allowed to ask that bitch Li Xue for her opinion, she might really ask County Magistrate Yang to go to court directly. Once this matter was exposed, not only would she lose face, but the Li family would also lose face.
If that happens, how will I be able to gain a foothold in the Li family? How can the Li family tolerate me?
Thinking of this, the eldest lady of the Li family shut up tactfully.
Seeing the look on the Li family's eldest young lady's face, Lin Jiuyue turned to look at Xiyue.
"Xiyue, you must have suffered a lot during the time you were wronged. Don't worry, I, your young lady, will definitely seek justice for you today."
"You heard what happened just now. The Li family's eldest young lady said she wanted to discuss this matter with us privately. Whether this matter can be settled privately or not is up to you."
Lin Jiuyue looked at Xiyue with encouraging eyes.
Since his family was wronged, even if he did not agree to resolve it privately, he could still get compensation from the Li family.
Xiyue lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
After a long while, just when everyone was about to get impatient, Xiyue finally raised her head.
"Miss, let the past be the past. I don't want to cause any more trouble."
Lin Jiuyue frowned when she heard this.
Xiyue thought that after this incident she would hate the eldest young lady of the Li family, so she gave her the right to choose.
Unexpectedly, this girl just let the matter go with just a few words.
"Xiyue!"
Xiyue smiled at Lin Jiuyue.
"Miss, I know you care about me. But when will the cycle of revenge end? I don't want you to be implicated because of my own affairs."
Lin Jiuyue walked forward, took Xiyue's hand and patted it gently.
"Xiyue, remember, no matter what your identity was before, you are now my servant, Lin Jiuyue. Only I, Lin Jiuyue, can bully you! If others want to bully you, they have to ask me if I agree!"
"Whoever bullies you is bullying me, Lin Jiuyue. No matter how wealthy or powerful he is, I will seek justice for you. If you implicate him, don't say anything about it anymore."
When Xiyue heard Lin Jiuyue's words, she was so moved that she burst into tears on the spot.
"Miss……"
Lin Jiuyue patted Xiyue gently.
"Silly girl, stop crying. You don't know how ugly you look when you cry."
"Well, since you said you don't care, then I, your daughter, will listen to you. I won't argue with them, but we still have to get the compensation we deserve. I can't suffer injustice and then not even take a penny of compensation, right?"
Xiyue heard what Lin Jiuyue said and nodded with a smile.
"Miss is right. The Li family is rich. We can ask for more."
Lin Jiuyue and Xiyue talked about the compensation in front of County Magistrate Yang and the Li family's eldest young lady, as if they had forgotten that there was a County Magistrate Yang and the Li family's eldest young lady present.
"Ahem."
Seeing Lin Jiuyue and his servant discussing the matter of "blackmail" in front of him, County Magistrate Yang pretended to cough twice to remind them not to be so blatant.
"My Lord County Magistrate, Madam Li, I'm sure you heard what I just said to my maid. It's not impossible to negotiate privately."
"Although Xiyue and her family of three are servants of my family, I have never considered them as real servants. They are no different from my relatives."
"Originally, I wanted Xiyue to decide this matter, but Xiyue just said that she doesn't want to get too entangled in this matter."
