Chapter 38

After sending He Zi'an away, Xia Keyu sent the weak Mu Xueshan to the carriage, and whispered:
"Don't worry, I will definitely get back your dowry."

Mu Xueshan's eyes filled with tears instantly, and she nodded slightly.

With Mu Xueshan's consent, Xia Keyu did not stay idle. On the one hand, he hired the best litigator in Beijing, and directly sued Dali Temple and Shuntian Mansion with a single paper.

Sued Taipusi Qing's family to seize the dowry of his daughter-in-law innocently.

On the other hand, Xia Keyu personally led the dozen or so strong men, and the group went to Qing He's house in Taipusi.

The servants of the He family had never seen this scene before, and asked cautiously: "May I ask what is your business?"

Xia Keyu walked in swaggeringly, not forgetting to report the background generously:

"I was entrusted by the second young lady of the family to come here to get her daily necessities and children's clothes."

As he said that, regardless of He's family's reaction, he said directly: "I heard that the Second Young Madam lives in the West Wing in the backyard? Please show me the way."

The members of the He family were speechless for a while, but Xia Keyu walked into the gate of the He family with those dozen strong men, and it was too late to rush out at this time.

The servants asked Mrs. He, who was in charge of the He family, and Mrs. He said disgustedly: "Just let her people take the things away, and we still think it's bad luck."

However, after Xia Keyu and others moved the things away, Mrs. He beat him up and cried to Master He who came back:
"The girl from the Xia family brought more than a dozen strong men to the house and removed many things in the house. Such a bandit act, even a woman like me dare not stop her."

Mr. He is the Secretary of the Taipusi, where has he ever been so angry, he suddenly became angry, and yelled: "This Xia family child is too arrogant, bullying no one in my He family!"

After all, in Master He's opinion, his youngest son was killed by an unlucky woman like Mu Xueshan.Mu Xueshan is not qualified to take things from the He family.

So a paper of complaint was filed with the imperial court, suing Xia Fengyuan's goddaughter for being incompetent and trespassing on He's house with his servants.

Xia Fengyuan was furious when he heard the news, he couldn't afford to offend the third rank's Taipusi Qing's family, so he hurried home, wanting to drag Xia Keyu to apologize to the He family.

Aunt Rong on the side still did not forget to fan the flames and said: "Missy has caused such a big mess, it is really unfortunate for the family, unfortunate for the family."

"To shut up!"

Xia Keyu said directly to Aunt Rong.

It's really annoying that she has to get involved in everything.

Then he turned his head and said to Xia Fengyuan who was in a hurry to get angry: "Father, don't worry, no wonder father doesn't want to know what the superiors think about this matter?"

One sentence stopped Xia Fengyuan from questioning him, after all, Xia Keyu got him the identity of the Guozijian Jijiu.

After hesitating again and again, he still opened his mouth and said: "Come here, restrain the young lady in the room for seven days."

No matter what, he had to give an explanation to Taipusi Qing's family, which was justifiable in face.

In the palace, the emperor received a note from the He family, the minister of the imperial servant temple, suing the Xia family to teach the daughter Wufang, trespassing on the He family and stealing property.

On the other hand, Dali Temple and Shuntian Mansion also submitted a memorial, saying that Xia Keyu sued Mu Xueshan for embezzling his daughter-in-law's dowry.

Generally, Dali Temple and Shuntian Mansion did not dare to deal with cases involving officials of the third rank and above, and would report them to the court.

The emperor had long heard about Xia Keyu's scolding of the Mu family, so the Wei family divorced him.

The combination of these things aroused the emperor's interest, and he decided to try the case himself.

One day, Xia Keyu was bored at home, when he heard that the eunuch from the palace came to Xia's family, saying that the emperor in the palace wanted to interrogate Xia Keyu.

As soon as these words came out, Xia Fengyuan was worried.

As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, who knows what the emperor thinks, whether he will be implicated because of Xia Keyu's matter.

Thinking of this, Xia Fengyuan patted his head, feeling that the black gauze hat on his head might not be safe.

Aunt Rong at the side was quite proud, she had already said that if Xia Keyu did this, sooner or later he would offend more powerful people, no, he offended the emperor.

Xia Keyu just waited for bad luck.

At the same time, Duke Chu's mansion also got the news.

Chi Yan anxiously reported the matter to his master, and then said anxiously: "Master, what do you think should be done, Miss Xia will not be punished by His Majesty, right?"

Chu Yuan quickly calculated everything in his heart, and said: "I want you to find someone as soon as possible."

"Yes." Chu Yuan said hurriedly.

Xia Keyu at the other end changed into a narrow robe embroidered with white flowers and a white jade hairpin on her head. She was dressed in a very simple and elegant manner, and then she followed the little eunuch into the palace calmly.

She has never done anything wrong, and naturally she is not afraid.

The big deal is that there is the thigh of Duke Chu's mansion behind her to support her, otherwise why would she take a big risk to save Duke Chu.

Xia Keyu was taken by the little eunuch to the huge Golden Palace, and above the Golden Palace was the emperor who had met before.

Among the few people standing beside him, one glared at Xia Keyu.

Seeing this person, Xia Keyu knew in his heart that this person was probably the Minister of the Imperial Palace, so he immediately knelt down and saluted:
"See His Majesty the Emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live~"

The emperor was still somewhat impressed with Xia Keyu's wearing of grapes that day, so he immediately said, "Free from courtesy."

Pointing to the memorial on his case, he asked, "Someone sued you for trespassing and robbery. Can you plead guilty?"

Xia Keyu shook his head, and said calmly: "Your Majesty is joking, I am a woman with no strength to restrain a chicken, why do I sound like a vicious robber."

The relaxed and playful words made the emperor not aggressive.He only asked: "Then according to you, what should this matter be like?"

Seeing this, Xia Keyu quickly cupped his hands and said loudly:

"My daughter is stupid and dare not lie to Your Majesty. My daughter wants to sue the He family of the imperial servant temple for forcibly taking the dowry of her daughter-in-law Mu Xueshan. She also disregards human relations and intends to force the orphans and widows to death. Human life is reckless."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was in an uproar. I didn't expect Xia Keyu to look at a delicate and weak woman and say such strong words.

"You spit out blood!"

Taipu Siqing was so angry that he pointed at Xia Keyu and retorted, even his beard was trembling.

Xia Keyu did not flinch in the slightest, but boldly raised his head to look directly at the emperor on the throne and said:
"The courtiers never dare to speak nonsense. If your majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask Mu Xueshan and you will know."

Hearing this, the emperor hurriedly said: "Come here, Xuan Mu Xueshan has entered the palace."

Xia Keyu began to slowly talk about everything that happened that day.
