The little lucky wife of a peasant family, the chief minister pinches her waist and dotes on her

The next day, a man came to the government office and beat the Dengwen drum.

Ning Qiyue heard it all at the house. She asked Miao Xinrou to stay at the house and not to look, and she took Biyun to the government office.

"Ascend to the hall!" Ye Hongyang, dressed in red official uniform, sat in front of the case and was stunned.

"Might... Wu..." The government servants on both sides chanted loudly.

"Who are you, who are you suing?" Ye Hongyang asked the two men in the hall.

The two men looked at each other, one of them raised his head and presented the prepared paper.

The yamen servant took it and gave it to the master. The master immediately gave it to Ye Hongyang after reading it.

Ye Hongyang was a little confused after reading the submission. He asked the person who submitted the petition: "You mean you found out that your sister is not your biological sister, but a stranger pretending to be her?"

"Yes."

"Although we don't see Cao Min's girl a few times a year, it's not like she never comes back to visit my mother."

"Since last winter, Cao Min's sister has never returned to her parents' home. Even when Cao Min went to visit her at her brother-in-law's house several times, she only came out to see her once and then hid in her room because she felt unwell."

"Not long ago, it was my mother's sixtieth birthday. She didn't come back to attend the birthday banquet. It was the day after the birthday banquet that my brother-in-law remembered and came to the house to give gifts."

"Caomin also accidentally discovered that she is not my biological sister. Caomin's sister has a scar on her wrist. The scar was left by Caomin accidentally hurting her sister when she was young."

"That day, the grassroots accidentally saw that there were no scars on her hands, and she had not seen her mother-in-law for more than half a year."

"Caomin's brother-in-law only said that his mother was sick. In fact, Caomin's brother-in-law's mother had died four months ago."

Ye Hongyang frowned: "Since he has passed away, why didn't you tell him?"

"The cause of death must be strange." The man affirmed.

Another person also said: "The common people also want to sue the woman who pretended to be Tang's. The grass's sister is Tang's sister-in-law."

"The two have a very good relationship. Caomin's brother-in-law fell from the mountain three years ago and was gone when he was found."

"Fortunately, Tang is good to girls from the common people, and his mother-in-law is also a gentle aunt."

"A grass-roots girl has a son and a daughter. Her nephew is four years old this year and her niece is a posthumous child. She is only a little over two years old and she is not very good at speaking."

"Not long ago, Cao Min went to the Chen family to visit my sister's nephew. It seemed that Tang didn't know Cao Min. Later, after Chen Daqiang's introduction, she figured out who Cao Min was."

"Chen Daqiang said that she fell down on her head not long ago and can't remember many people and things."

"I saw Cao Min went to visit his sister, but they told Cao Min that Cao Min's sister ran away with someone."

"I left my young daughter behind and only took my nephew with me."

"Caomin didn't want to believe it, but Chen Daqiang found a few people to prove it. They all saw Caomin's girl running away with someone in the middle of the night."

"If there is evidence, ordinary people will have to believe it."

"My niece no longer has her own mother to take care of her. She only relies on her uncle and aunt, so she is not that careful."

"The grass-roots people then took their niece home. When the bride-to-be gave her a bath, she found scars all over her body."

"Although my niece is not very good at talking, she is not mute. After questioning, I learned that it was Tang who pinched her."

Zhao Mancang cried with tears all over his face and said tremblingly: "Later, I heard from my niece that Cao Min's sister was dead."

Everyone present was shocked when they heard this. What on earth were these two couples doing?
My mother died, but I didn’t tell anyone else. My sister-in-law died, and she even said she ran away with someone. This doesn’t make sense to anyone.

"Come here, please invite Chen Daqiang and his wife to come for questioning." Ye Hongyang slapped the alarm, and the noisy lobby fell silent instantly.

Tang Dahe quickly told the address, and the government officials quickly went to invite someone.

In half the time of burning incense, Chen Daqiang and his wife were brought to the government office. The Tang family was not ugly.

She has fair and shiny skin, beautiful eyes and white teeth, and her whole body is delicate and soft. Her abdomen is slightly swollen, and she is obviously pregnant.

Her eyes were full of fear, and anyone who looked at her watery eyes would feel distressed.

Sure enough, someone started whispering to their companions.

"This little lady is so beautiful. She shouldn't be as vicious as these two people say, right?"

"Who knows? Hasn't anyone told you? The more beautiful a woman is, the more terrifying she is." A woman shouted.

Another woman said: "That's right, my eldest brother said that she is not my sister."

"How can your own eldest brother sue your own sister?"

"I don't think so. Maybe the little widow couldn't bear it and ran away with someone else. What can a two-year-old girl say?"

"That's right. Besides, since the old woman is dead, it's possible that she has something to hide."

"In our clan, we give monthly allowances to widows. Maybe the Chen family does the same, so they concealed my death."

"Quiet!" Ye Hongyang slapped the crowd in shock, and everyone's voices disappeared instantly.

Ye Hongyang looked at the man protecting his wife below and asked, "Who is here?"

"Chen Daqiang, a grassroots man."

"Min, Min's wife Tang." Tang leaned over pitifully and said her name.

Tang Dahe frowned. This Tang's voice was no different from his own girl's. Could it be that he had made a mistake?
"Do you know these two people in the hall?" Ye Hongyang asked again.

Chen Daqiang and Tang Shi glanced at the two men beside them at the same time. Before Chen Daqiang could speak, Tang Shi spoke first.

"Sir, the person on the left is Tang Dahe, the eldest brother of a common woman, and the one on the right is Zhao Mancang, the second brother of a common woman's sister-in-law."

"The two of them accuse you of not being the original Tang, and your mother-in-law and sister-in-law are dead. Do you have any explanation?"

Mrs. Tang immediately burst into tears and sobbed aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, the magistrate knows clearly that the citizen's wife is really Tang Zhuqing, and the citizen's wife is still with her. Could it be that the citizen's wife has recognized the wrong person?"

"The commoner woman also has a son and two daughters, and now she is pregnant again. If the commoner woman is not Tang's, wouldn't the commoner woman recognize her three children?"

"As for my mother-in-law, my mother-in-law has indeed been dead for four months."

"It was one night four months ago. My mother-in-law complained that she was feeling dizzy that afternoon and wanted to go back to her room to rest. She asked the woman to call her when she was having dinner."

"But when the woman went to call her mother-in-law, she was already dead."

"The woman was so scared that she screamed, attracting her husband and sister-in-law."

Mrs. Tang wiped her tears and then continued: "Because my mother-in-law is old, the clan will allocate food and other materials to the house every month."

"The husband is the only laborer in the house of a common woman, so her life is really miserable."

"The three women discussed it and decided to bury my mother-in-law secretly, pretending that she was seriously ill and still alive."

"Later, several times when people from the clan came to check, my sister-in-law was always sleeping on the bed pretending to be my mother-in-law."

Tang's fair face turned red instantly: "A common woman knows that it is wrong to deceive the elders of the clan, but there is nothing that a common woman and others can do."

"There are so many mouths in the house waiting for food. This is really a helpless move."

Ye Hongyang asked again: "Putting aside your mother-in-law in advance, Zhao Mancang learned from his childhood niece that you abused her and killed her mother. How to explain this?" "It's unjust, Lord Magistrate."

Tang cried louder: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

"The commoner's sister-in-law ran away with someone, leaving such a girl at home."

"She cries all the time. Sometimes the woman gets angry and she does twist her niece a few times. The woman feels very ashamed about this."

"Brother Zhao, it's all my fault. Please forgive me. I admit all of this, but you wrongly accused me of killing Mei Niang. I can never admit it."

"Second Brother Zhao, I understand that you are doing this for the reputation of the Zhao family's daughter, but you can't accuse me unjustly."

Zhao Mancang was anxious. Before he could speak, Tang Dahe said: "You fart, you are not my sister at all."

"Brother..." Tang's face was full of disbelief, and she cried even harder when she saw Tang Dahe.

"Brother, I am your biological sister. What did I do wrong that made you wrongly accuse me like this?"

Chen Daqiang was heartbroken and said: "Yes, brother, how could you make such a joke!"

"Zhuqing is your biological sister. Is it because of what happened last year that you have to hold grudges against us for so long?"

"Because of what happened last year, the two of us have tried not to go to the Tang family. How come it has been so long and you still refuse to let us go?"

"We shouldn't take things given by mother. If my eldest brother and sister-in-law care so much, madam, please return the silver hairpin that mother gave you to your eldest brother."

"When I go back and chop some more firewood, I can get some money to buy you a new silver hairpin."

Listening to Chen Daqiang's words, the judges around him began to whisper again.

"It turns out that there is a conflict between the two brothers. This is too vicious. For a little thing, you can actually sue your own sister."

"The Zhao family is also disgusting. It's clear that my sister couldn't bear it and ran away with someone. There was still a witness, and she came to wrongfully accuse someone of killing her own sister."

"Didn't you listen to what my little lady said?"

"I'm afraid he is deliberately slandering others for the sake of his own girl."

"Wouldn't it be more embarrassing for this widow to run away with someone than to die?"

There are men and women who say these words, and many people even agree with these words.

Tang Dahe and Zhao Mancang were anxious. Tang lowered his face, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were full of ridicule.

"Quiet!" Ye Hongyang slapped the gavel again, making Tang tremble in fright.

"Tang Dahe, do you have any refutation of what the couple said?" Ye Hongyang looked at Tang Dahe and asked.

Tang Dahe knelt straight and said, "Of course, you said I hate you for getting a silver hairpin from my mother?"

"Then do you know that the silver hairpin was originally bought by me as a birthday gift from my mother?"

"I certainly have evidence to prove that you are not my biological sister. My sister has a scar on her hand. That day I clearly saw that both of your wrists were clean."

Tang looked up at Tang Dahe aggrievedly, her face full of grievance, and she rolled up her left sleeve in front of everyone.

"Brother, are you talking about this scar?" Tang raised her hand, and everyone saw a burn scar on her hand.

Tang Dahe rubbed his eyes in disbelief. The locations were almost the same and the scars were about the same size. How could this be possible?

"Impossible, it was obviously not there that day." Tang Dahe said loudly.

Tang said aggrievedly: "Brother, your memory is still in my childhood. But you have never thought that I have grown up, and the scar will naturally deviate from the position in your memory."

"Besides, there were no scars last time because I applied powder on my hands."

As he said that, he took out the powder from his bag and demonstrated humiliatedly.

"Because of this scar, I always feel that I am not a complete person, so I tried many methods and made this powder."

Under Tang's demonstration, the scar is indeed not very clear unless you look carefully.

"It turns out that the truth is like this. This man is too stingy!"

"But didn't you hear what I said? He bought the silver hairpin as a gift to his sister. It seems like it was just a misunderstanding."

Tang Dahe's eyes were full of shock, and he was also confused at this time.

Is this really his sister?

"But why do you seem to be unfamiliar with your home, and you don't seem to recognize me when you meet me for the first time?"

At this time, Tang Dahe began to doubt whether he had really wronged his sister.

"Brother, just because of this matter, you are going to sue my wife for not being your biological sister?"

"Then did you know that shortly after my wife got the silver hairpin last year, she was knocked unconscious from behind with a wooden stick."

"That person just wanted to snatch the silver hairpin from my wife's head. Fortunately, I was nearby at the time, so I didn't let that person succeed."

"My wife was in a coma for three days and three nights. When she woke up again, she had forgotten many things."

"If you don't believe me, go back and ask my three children. They all know about this."

Guilt appeared in Tang Dahe's eyes, and he shed tears: "It turns out that so many things happened, and I really don't know about it. I'm sorry, sister. It's because I didn't find out clearly, so I came to sue you."

Tang Shi cried and shook his head, saying aggrievedly: "I don't blame brother, in fact, I haven't been able to remember it until now."

"It was only when my husband told me that you were my eldest brother that I knew you were my eldest brother's."

After saying this, Tang Dahe felt even more guilty.

Chen Daqiang looked at Zhao Mancang again: "Second brother Zhao, as I said before, no less than three people saw Mei Niang leaving the house with the man that night."

"If you don't believe it, I will go out and look for Mei Niang for you. Xitang is only so old, and she will always end up with someone. I don't believe it. I keep looking and can't find her."

"As soon as we find Mei Niang, everything will become clear."

Listening to Chen Daqiang's sincere words, Zhao Mancang also began to doubt. Did he really think too much?

Just when Tang Dahe and Zhao Mancang were about to withdraw the complaint, a man's voice came: "Sir, please wait for the verdict."

Everyone looked at the person who came. The man was dressed as a scholar. Everyone made a way to let him in.

The man walked directly to the lobby and bowed to Ye Hongyang.

"Student Han Zhilin has a reputation as a scholar." Han Zhilin first reported his family status.

Ye Hongyang nodded and motioned for him to continue.

"The student was the man who wanted to take Mei Niang away. That night the student went to the Chen family to pick her up. Although the student was a scholar, his family did not have much money and he was born in a farmer's family."

"She couldn't afford to raise two children, so Mei Niang said that my uncle and sister-in-law were very good people. If my daughter was left behind, she would definitely be well taken care of."

"But halfway through, Mei Niang regretted it and said she would go back and explain to her uncle and sister-in-law that the student would find a matchmaker to come to propose marriage."

"The student thought that it was inappropriate to have a marriage without a matchmaker, and that it was in vain that the student had read so many sage books, so the student sent Mei Niang back."
