A happy event in a fertile field: the black-bellied husband is as beautiful as a flower

Chapter 453: Confronting the Court
Therefore, at this moment, the Xia family officially appeared in front of people for the first time, confronting Meng Yunxiao on the spot.

A lot of officials from the DPRK and China came to Dali Temple today to watch the case. After all, this kind of thing is very rare, and everyone who has no business in hand will drop by to watch the excitement.

Xia's clothes are decent, conservative and cautious, with a kind of magnanimous and quiet beauty.

If she is a country girl, she doesn't have the vulgarity of a countryman.

Even those who have never seen Princess Yin Wu with their own eyes can roughly guess from Xia Shi's body that the difference is not much different.

The Xia family has the strength to prefer death to surrender, which Meng Yunxiao never thought of.

Meng Yunxiao originally thought that making a fuss about the Xia family and her innocence, how could she have the face to stand up.

Even if the rumors were right and wrong, she could only hide and dare not even come out.

But Meng Yunxiao made a big mistake, Xia not only dared to go out, but also dared to sue the emperor.

Meng Yunxiao had been biting her cheeks tightly since the moment he entered the hall and saw her, unable to relax.

The Xia family sued Meng Yunxiao for slander, and they had already prepared for this, so Yin Heng found the person in charge who was ordered to pick up Xia Shi and Meng Yan from the small town.

The principal dared not lie in front of King Wu of Yin, so he stated truthfully, saying that he was assigned by Meng Yunxiao to go to the place, and he must find a way to bring Xia and Meng Yan to the capital.

But that's not what the rumors say.

Rumors say that the Xia family's mother and daughter are jealous of Meng Yunxiao's success, and they will follow him to the capital.

The Xia family asked Yin Heng to get the nurses and maids who were under surveillance in the small courtyard of the Meng Mansion to prove that after Meng Yunxiao brought the Xia family's mother and daughter to the capital, she began to arrange Meng Yan's marriage, intending to marry her to Xu Xu Mao, the son of the family.

Isn't it obvious what Meng Yunxiao is planning.

Probably because he remembered that he still had a daughter in the countryside, and wanted to bring her into the capital to marry a marriage, so as to make his official career even better.

Fortunately, the last one to marry into the Xu family was Meng Shu, the eldest lady of the Meng family. Otherwise, Princess Yin Wu would have been sent there, and Meng Yunxiao might have lived to the end of her life.

Meng Yunxiao's face turned livid, and he cursed angrily, "You, you bitch, you're spitting blood!"

Dali Temple Minister patted the table and said: "Master Meng, you'd better speak carefully."

The Xia family was extremely calm, looked at Meng Yunxiao and said: "The principal and the maidservants are all from your Meng family. You are shameless, but you say I spit blood."

She turned her head to face Dali Temple Minister, blessed her with a salute and said: "My lord, since the women entered the door, they have been adhering to women's morality for more than ten or twenty years, and have never violated the rules. There has been no news, leaving us orphans, mothers and widows to suffer in the world and ignore them, but now they are falsely accusing the women of being promiscuous and disobedient, and the women of the people will call for grievances!"

She asked Meng Yunxiao again: "You keep saying that I don't obey women's morals, do you have evidence? You spread that I had an affair with other men, so where is the adulterer?!"

Meng Yunxiao moved the corner of his mouth, but was speechless for a while.

Xia said: "You have no evidence, but I have the villagers of Sui Township to testify!"

Even though her expression was serious and solemn, she did not lose her appearance due to excitement, so people could not help but pay attention to her and listen to her defense.

Then Xia took out a paper contract from her bosom, and said: "Meng Yunxiao said that he had already abandoned the women when he went to Beijing to take the exam many years ago, so why did he have to write another contract a few months ago?" Leaving the book?"

As he spoke, he presented the contract with both hands, "Please take a look at it, my lord. There is Meng Yunxiao's seal and his autographed name on it. It is clear at a glance."

The Minister of Dali Temple took a look, and it really was a copy of Heli Shu.

Meng Yunxiao wanted to subconsciously argue that it was Xia and Meng Yan who asked someone to force him to sign.

But the words were about to come out, but he held back.

If he said it, wouldn't it be tantamount to admitting in a disguised form that he didn't divorce the Xia family in the first place, and all these rumors were made up and acted out by himself.

In this courtroom, Meng Yunxiao felt that he had lost all face, and there was really nothing left.

If he said one more word, it would only lead to greater humiliation.

Xia's face was cold and said: "You abandoned your wife and daughter, and married another in Beijing for the sake of prosperity and wealth. You started chaotically and ended up abandoning it, and now it is our fault. My grandma was raised by me alone. I need you as a father, and I won't need you in the future! But if you insult her reputation, I will be the first to let you go!"

Dali Temple Minister finished Heli's book, looked up at Meng Yunxiao, and said, "Master Meng, what can you say?"

In the end, Meng Yunxiao choked out some words, and said with difficulty: "Since ancient times, women have a lot of tongues. In court, women's words cannot be trusted. What's more, Dali Temple is a sacred place, so how can she be allowed to speak freely. Please, Lord Yan. We will deal with it privately.”

Xia said: "If I want to deal with you privately, what official should I sue? My lord, the women have heard that those who slander and destroy people's reputation should be punished thirty times according to the law. If the emperor breaks the law, he is the same as the common people. What's more, Meng Yunxiao, as an official of the court, knows how to break the law, so he should be dealt with more seriously."

Meng Yunxiao glared at Mrs. Xia angrily and said, "Don't deceive me too much!"

Xia said: "Too much bullying? A woman marries, takes care of her husband, takes care of the family, and works hard all her life, but in the end it doesn't end well. Who is bullying too much?"

Dali Temple Minister asked: "Master Meng, can you still produce evidence to refute it?"

Meng Yunxiao was unprepared, where would he find two adulterers for the Xia family right now?

The Minister of Dali Temple said: "If there is no such thing, then it is just talking nonsense. It is suspected of fabricating, and it can be punished as a crime of defamation according to the law. Abandoning wives and children, being ruthless and widowed, and wanting to destroy the innocence of wives and daughters has been unacceptable since ancient times. This kind of trend should be curbed in time in my court, so this matter needs to be dealt with strictly, so as to serve as an example to others."

Dali Siqing spoke very righteously and awe-inspiringly.

King Yin Wu, as an auditor, sat and drank tea, but he never said a word.

But he is Xia Clan's most solid foundation and backing.

The Minister of Dali Temple said again: "Although Mr. Meng is an official of the court, he can commit crimes knowingly and cannot be tolerated. My Dali Temple has always been a place with strict laws and regulations. Now according to the law, Mr. Meng will be punished with thirty sticks and executed in court."

Meng Yunxiao's complexion changed drastically, and just as he was about to shout out, the Dali Temple Minister said in a deep voice: "If Mr. Meng is not satisfied, you can appeal to the emperor after the execution."

As he said that, he ordered the left and right officials to come forward and arrest Meng Yunxiao.

Meng Yunxiao stared at Xia Shi fiercely, and cursed: "You bitch, you are not only arrogant, but also so vicious! You are the most poisonous woman!"

Xia Shi turned around and looked directly at Meng Yunxiao, walked towards him and stood in front of him for a moment.

Then she raised her hand and slapped Meng Yunxiao hard on the face.

There was a loud snap, probably exhausting all of Xia's strength, the sound was clear and refreshing.

It was very quiet in the courtroom.

Not to mention the other officials watching the case, even Dali Siqing was stunned.

King Yin Wu continued to drink tea calmly.
