Dad, Did You Study Today?

"Now, I believe what you just said. If you hadn't been greatly wronged, you would never have done such a thing in court."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Why? Is it because the third lady believes me that the Jingzhao Yin is going to re-judge the case?

Then the judgment of this case is really ridiculous.

Unheard of!"

When the third lady of Duankangbo's mansion spoke, the onlookers outside were in an uproar. As Zhou Qing finished speaking, the discussion outside increased.

Everyone was talking about why the Jingzhao Yin should have opened the court when he obviously shouldn't have, and why the case was so sloppy in the trial and interrogation.

"Honglian is my maid. If she does something bad, it will hurt my reputation. So when you said Honglian ordered Sun to humiliate you, I tried my best to protect Honglian.

I admit that I have selfish motives.

As for letting Lord Jingzhao Yin open the court in violation of regulations, Miss Zhou must have misunderstood this.

Lord Jingzhao Yin opened the court not for my sake, but on the contrary, for your sake.

He doesn't want to offend Shen Li."

Zhou Qing immediately interrupted the third lady of Duankangbo.

In a tone that deserves a beating, she said: "You know clearly whose face Lord Jingzhao Yin is considering.

However, since it is for Shen Li's sake, why are you sitting and I am kneeling? Do you have an imperial decree?"

This statement directly shattered the third lady of Duankangbo's mansion's attempt to confuse concepts.

Jingzhao Yin coughed and said, "I didn't say that the case was closed! Just now you were arrogant and disrespectful to the court, so I asked the yamen runners to separate you from Honglian!"

Glazing at Zhou Qing, Jingzhao Yin stroked his beard and sat down slowly.

"I have my own way of solving cases. I have been in this position for more than 20 years and have never made any mistakes. Naturally, I will not wrong you, Miss Zhou!

Miss Zhou is eager to prove herself. I understand your feelings, but please respect the court!

As for why the third lady of Duankangbo Mansion can sit down while Miss Zhou must kneel, it is because the third lady of Duankangbo Mansion took care of the sick last night, and I am concerned about her weak body."

The old ones are still the best.

In a few words, Jingzhao Yin avoided the important issues and smoothed over all the sharp questions Zhou Qing had just asked.

The runner who was holding Zhou Qing let go.

Zhou Qing stood there and said nothing.

Jingzhao Yin ignored Zhou Qing, and just slapped the gavel in his hand and said to Honglian: "You said that you went to Zhenpinxuan to buy something under the order of the third lady of Duankangbo Mansion. Then I ask you, what did you buy?"

As if nothing had happened just now.

Everything returned to the beginning.

Honglian's complexion was very different from before. Her face was pale, and she glanced at the third lady with trembling lips.

The third lady ignored her.

Honglian trembled and said: "I, the maidservant, was ordered by the master to go to Zhenpinxuan to buy a jade cup."

"Since you are going to buy a jade cup, why don't you buy it? Since you encountered Sun and Zhou Qing's endless entanglement, and the third lady is outside Zhenpinxuan, why don't you go and report it."

"I was going to report it, but Zhou Qing caught me and didn't let me go." Honglian's voice was a little small, with a fear from the bottom of her heart.

And just now, she was still proud like a fighting cock.

"Zhou Qing, is what Honglian said true? Did you catch her?"

Zhou Qing was no longer as aggressive as before, and nodded, "Yes."

"Why?"

"Because I think she was the one who instigated Sun to humiliate me."

Before Zhou Qing finished speaking, Honglian suddenly burst into tears, "My lord, spare me, I was confused and did something wrong. It was indeed me who instigated Sun to insult Zhou Qing. I surrender myself."

Honglian's cry changed the direction of the discussion outside.

Sun looked at Honglian in surprise, not quite understanding why Honglian suddenly said such a thing.

Could it be that the third lady of Duankangbo's mansion couldn't protect them!

What should she do now that Honglian said this!

Sun looked at the third lady of Duankangbo's mansion anxiously.

The third young lady of the Duankang Marquis's Mansion looked at Honglian with a heartbroken expression, "You, why are you doing this!"

Honglian cried, "The Marquis treated me well, and the young lady treated me very well. The Marquis was so seriously injured, and I felt bad. In anger, I had thoughts that I shouldn't have.

This morning, when I went out to buy things, I met Sun, and I instigated her a few words.

I didn't expect that I would actually meet Zhou Qing when I went to Zhenpinxuan today.

Sun was instigated by me and stepped forward to insult Zhou Qing.

I just wanted to embarrass Zhou Qing and vent the anger of the Marquis and the third young lady.

I know I was wrong."

As she said this, she kowtowed.

Zhou Qing looked at Honglian thoughtfully, and then slowly lowered his gaze to Sun.

"She said that you were insulting me."

Sun

It was not what we agreed before!

Didn't Honglian say that with the status of the Duankang Marquis's Mansion and the third young lady, she could definitely give Zhou Qing, the dead girl, a good scolding?

How did it become like this!

Sun opened her confused and frightened eyes and looked at the third lady.

The third lady never looked at her, but just said to Honglian: "You disappoint me so much. My father was injured because the matter of those antiques was not explained clearly before. What does this have to do with Zhou Qing!

I, Duan Kangbo Mansion, never vent my anger on others!"

Miss San shook her sleeves, her face was full of anger, she took a deep breath, and knelt down to apologize to Zhou Qing.

"Today, I was wrong."

Compared to her previous arrogance and contempt, Miss San was very humble at this moment.

Zhou Qing glanced at her and said nothing.

Miss San paused there and stood up.

"Today, because of my selfish favoritism towards my maid, Miss Zhou was wronged and wasted her time. I am willing to compensate.

This is my sincere intention, and I hope Miss Zhou will give me this opportunity."

Zhou Qing still did not speak.

Just silently took out a piece of paper from his arms.

The paper that Mr. Zhou and others signed that day.

"How the adults judge the case is naturally based on their rules. I dare not interfere. I do not accept private reconciliation. However, it is clearly written here that if Zhou Huaihai or Zhou Bingde and their family have humiliated me in the slightest, they must compensate me with one hundred taels.

Since it has been proven that she humiliated me, then pay me back."

As soon as this paper came out, it shocked the whole audience.

Sun's face turned black immediately.

She knew it!

She knew that Zhou Qing, this dead girl, was nothing.

Subconsciously, Sun stood up and tried to grab the paper.

Zhou Qing dodged backwards.

"When Zhou Huaihai and Zhou Bingde committed evil, they were arrested by our clan leader. They signed this themselves. Therefore, it is written in black and white that they must pay me back."

The crowd was talking non-stop.

Why? What compensation? Aren't they a family? Why would they sign such a thing? What happened?

Someone asked in the crowd, and someone answered in the crowd.

In a short while, everyone present knew what Zhou Huaihai and Zhou Bingde had done.
