The trial of the case went quite smoothly, and in the end, when only Xu Yan was left, Xiao Qian was brought by the officials. She cowered and knelt down in horror. Only now did she know what she had done wrong.

Thinking back to what had happened before, she knew she had been wrong. Although the eldest sister walked around the Wei Mansion and the medical hall all day long, she did not do anything beyond the norm. At this point, she was very sure in her heart.

She is just a red eye, and the eldest sister can deal with it easily in front of the children of rich families, and the means are easy. It's just that the eldest sister never thought of introducing those people to her, and she was so jealous that she made such a mistake. It's just that it's too late to know at this moment, and she always has to pay for her actions.

Dad has warned her countless times to let her be rational and treat the Yiqiē around her. Be mature, be sensible, don't drill the horns all day long, and be careful with your eyes. It's a pity that she goes in and out of her left ear every time. It turns out that although Dad has a temper tantrum, he is still right to think about the direction of things.

was thinking about it in remorse, and there was a "snap" sound. Xiao Qian was so frightened that her whole body went weak and almost collapsed to the ground. With the sound of the startling wood, it was the calm and powerful voice of the county magistrate:

"Whoever is in the hall, report your name."

Xiao Qian replied tremblingly: "The people's girl Li Xiaoqian." ”

The magistrate was quite satisfied with Xiao Qian's appearance, and asked, "Li Xiaoqian, do you know why this official passed you over today?" ”

Xiao Qian took a few deep breaths, stabilized her mind, and then replied: "Return, back to the adult, the folk girl has become jealous and falsely accused her cousin Xiao Nuan." Also, he was involved in the rumor-mongering incident. ”

Seeing that Xiaoqian's confession was very sincere, the magistrate was a little more satisfied. He asked, "Since you know that you are wrong, do you know what kind of punishment you will receive?" ”

Xiao Qian swallowed her saliva, and replied loudly with an open-minded attitude: "Back to my lord, the people know that they will not be able to escape the responsibility." No matter how the adults punish them, the women are willing to accept it. ”

The magistrate was quite satisfied with Xiaoqian's answer. He thought a little more highly of the Li sisters in his heart. The big one, there is no cowardice in the face of such a scene, and her calmness and fearlessness are convincing. The little one who knows his mistakes will change them, and he has a sense of pride.

Looking at the pair of sisters who had killed each other, the magistrate thought of the people who were tried before, which one was not justified and denied in every possible way. There is also this Xu Yan, who knows that she is dying but still does not repent, and she does not forget to fall into the well.

"Li Shi Xiaonuan, your cousin Li Shi Xiaoqian has pleaded guilty, what else do you have to say?"

Li Xiaonuan nodded to the magistrate to show her sincerity, and then said: "Back to my lord, the folk girl has something to ask her cousin, I don't know if the adult may be accommodating?" ”

The magistrate nodded, and his good impression of Li Xiaonuan in his heart rose a lot.

"This official is approved, please ask."

Li Xiaonuan smiled and thanked him: "Xiao Nuan thanked Master Qingtian." ”

As he spoke, he turned to Xiao Qian and asked, "Xiao Qian, has my sister ever done something sorry for you?" ”

Xiao Qian knelt straight, turned her head and replied, "Sister, it's Xiao Qian's mistake." The eldest sister is very good to Xiaoqian, and has not done anything to be sorry for Xiaoqian. ”

Li Xiaonuan asked again: "Then what did you think in your heart when you started to make my rumors?" ”

Xiao Qian lowered her head guiltily and returned in a trembling voice: "I'm sorry, eldest sister." Xiao Qian was bent on seeing you unlucky, and she couldn't think of anything in her head. You go in and out every day, and there is nothing that you do that is not praised. Compared with you, Xiaoqian is so useless. ”

"I saw that you were extremely hard and serious in doing things, and you could do everything well, so I began to be jealous of you. Later, when I learned that you met Wei Ergongzi and could go to his house to teach dim sum skills, I was even more jealous. Later, I saw that you and Dr. Xiao Qi also got along very well, but he was very alienated from me, so I lost my mind. ”

After listening to it, Li Xiaonuan felt that it was similar to what she thought. But she obviously heard her admiration for Qi Ji from Xiao Qian's words. Knowing the biggest crux of the matter, Li Xiaonuan said to Xiaoqian earnestly:

"Xiaoqian, listen up. The eldest sister didn't do everything well before. It's just that after being pushed into the water, the whole person has already died once, and he feels that he should do more for the family, so as not to regret it in the future. ”

"The reason why the eldest sister is desperately doing everything is to survive. You also know that the eldest sister's house was running out of rice before. Your uncle's condition has worsened again, and your aunt's health is not good. In order to earn a bite to eat, in order to save money for their treatment, I racked my brains. ”

"So, Xiaoqian, what the eldest sister wants to tell you is that you must do things with your brains in the future. Jealousy, when used correctly, is what motivates you to move forward. If everything is the same as before, then jealousy will kill your goodness. ”

"I hope that after this lesson, you will be able to face life positively in the future. The eldest sister doesn't want to intercede for you, because the eldest sister was really killed this time. Can you understand the eldest sister? Will you blame your eldest sister for not helping you in the future? ”

Every time Li Xiaonuan said a word, Xiaoqian was ashamed. After Li Xiaonuan finished speaking, Xiaoqian had completely realized her mistake. Therefore, she replied in a trembling voice: "Thank you, eldest sister, for being willing to explain Xiaoqian." Xiaoqian voluntarily accepted the punishment, and she would not blame the eldest sister. Eldest sister, will you treat me the same as before in the future? ”

Li Xiaonuan saw that Xiaoqian's attitude was sincere and there was no unconvinced meaning, so she said: "We are sisters, of course we will get along as before." ”

Hearing this, Xiaoqian was relieved. She turned to the magistrate, kowtowed, and said, "My lord, please punish the people's daughter." The magistrate was shocked by the content of the sisters' conversation and admired it. Therefore, when the verdict was announced, Xiaoqian's punishment was deliberately reduced.

"The criminal daughter Li Xiaoqian, for committing the crime of oral karma, spreading rumors, and framing others, was specially punished with ten slaps in the mouth, fifteen canes, and a fine of twenty generations of silver for hard labor. Do the Li sisters have any objections to this punishment? ”

As soon as Li Xiaonuan heard it, he knew that this was the county magistrate's old man's intention to release water, so he was grateful: "The people's daughter Xie Daye's subordinates are merciful, and the people's daughter has no objections." ”

Xiao Qian also kowtowed and replied: "The people's daughter Xie is gracious, and the people's daughter has no objections." ”

"Hehehe, what a touching scene. Sisterhood? Extrajudicial favors? Hehe, it's just a male thief and a female prostitute, and the wolf bèi is a traitor. I want to see what will become of you. Hahaha... "Xu Yan, who was paralyzed, suddenly spoke out after the magistrate announced the verdict.

Zhixian was so angry by her words that he almost lost his mind. Fortunately, the master reminded her, so he didn't ask someone to drag her down and beat her to death on the spot.

"A bold female slave dared to frame a court official in front of the court, and her crime was unforgivable. Someone came, put the prisoner on the plywood, put the prisoner in a car and parade through the street for three days. ”

This verdict undoubtedly sentenced Xu Yan to death. Li Xiaonuan's heart was relieved, and he felt that he had finally avenged the killing of the original owner. Unloading a big stone in her heart, she felt a lot more relaxed.
