At the entrance of the yamen, more than a dozen people appeared. There are fast catchers and officials, and it seems that they came from far away. Those who caught the fast officials enthusiastically greeted the officials of the prefecture and city who were guarding the door. That greeting looked a little flattering.

At the foot of the steps, the people of the Li family were surrounding a panting man in his early thirties, noisily questioning and shouting. The old woman sat down on the ground again, beating her chest and screaming, "Ouch, evil, evil." It's really been eight lifetimes of mold, how did you create such a thing. ”

Regarding the riots on the Li family's side, Li Xiaonuan and they watched it with relish. While helping Li take care of his hair, Chen asked curiously, "Fourth sister-in-law, what happened to them?" I saw the old woman howling like a dead son. ”

After calming down, Li regained her previous virtuous and delicate nature, and replied softly: "Who knows, maybe my son is really dead." ”

When Chen heard this, he couldn't help but "giggle". She quickly pulled Li Shi's hair, and said crisply: "If that's the case, it can be regarded as avenging the two daughters-in-law who died in vain." ”

Li disagreed with Chen's statement and replied: "Brother and sister, don't talk nonsense, we don't know what's going on with those two daughters-in-law." Be careful of talking nonsense, others will accuse you of spreading rumors. When the time comes, I'll see what you do. After speaking, he glanced at Li Xiaonuan.

Chen was not stupid, he immediately understood Li's hint, and pouted: "Yes, these days, it's a sin to tell a joke." ”

Li Xiaonuan listened to the conversation between her two concubines and laughed silently. Looking at the old lady again, Father Li was peeling the melon, and it could be seen that it was for the old lady. Su Shi had just taken the tea bowl from the old lady's hand and put it in the big bamboo basket on the side.

The fourth uncle and the fifth uncle were squatting at the foot of the steps, munching on the sweet melon, and chatting with Xiaoyang about something. This natural and warm picture once again made Li Xiaonuan's eyes sour. She secretly vowed that she would solve the family conflict, and then the family would live so warmly.

The Li family and the Li family are on the left and right sides in front of the yamen, and the atmosphere of the two families is in stark contrast. The county magistrate who entered the door quickly came out, and smiled when he saw this situation.

The master behind him grimaced, and said loudly: "The Li family of Niushan County, the Li family of Xinzhou Village, you all hurry in." The county lord is waiting in the hall, don't let him wait for you. ”

The people of the Li family packed up their things, put them in the gatehouse of the yamen, and went into the court. As for the Li family, several sons persuaded the old woman who was crying for a long time before putting her into the yamen.

It's just that the old woman probably really encountered something sad, even if she couldn't bear to cry, she still choked up. The woman was even more dumbfounded, stumbling behind the group with her head down. The trembling hands that tugged at the hem of her clothes exposed the tension and fear in her heart

knelt down in the public court again, but the county magistrate did not try the case. He asked the plaintiff Fang Li's family: "The Li family of Niushan County, early this morning, someone sued you in the Yamen of Niushan County, accusing you of abusing your daughter-in-law to death. It was a murder case, so the official put this case of deception and marriage on hold. When your murder case is clarified, the judge will open the case again. ”

As soon as the old woman heard the word murder, she immediately became excited, and she shouted frantically: "Don't sue me, we won't sue the Li family for cheating on marriage." These are all non-existent things, they are all ideas given by my niece and granddaughter, so that I can take the opportunity of filing a lawsuit to blackmail the Li family's money. Sir, we were wrong, we really know we were wrong. ”

As soon as the old woman's words came out, Li exclaimed, "Auntie". Several sons of the Li family glared angrily when they heard the Li family's shouts. Li shrunk his neck weakly, not daring to look at them again.

The Li family, on their part, looked at the Li family in disbelief, feeling that they had heard something wrong. In everyone's attention, Li buried his head low, regretting what he did when he had brain fever.

The county magistrate slapped the startled wood twice, and then said: "Li Liu, do you know that the pleadings are filed, and the case is withdrawn without closing the case, but you have to be punished?" ”

The old woman fell to the ground and replied with a weeping, "My lord is wise, I know that I am wrong. Please also ask the lord's subordinates to be gracious. These words were all heard from listening to dramas in the past, but I didn't expect to be able to use them.

At this time, the four sons of the Li family, who had always been submissive, finally said the first sentence since today: "Master, Xiaomin is willing to be punished on behalf of his mother." My old mother did these things because of me. As a son, I was unfilial and did not stop her from doing wrong. So, please ask the big man to play the small people's board. ”

As soon as the words of the four sons came out, the other sons also pleaded for their mother one after another, expressing their willingness to accept it on behalf of their mother. Li Xiaonuan wondered in her heart: The family is actually very good to their own people, why can't they treat their daughter-in-law who marries into the door.

In the end, the four sons of the Li family received twenty boards for the old woman. As for the absurd deception and deception of marriage, it is over. It's just that although this incident came to an end in the Yamen, it just happened to be staged in the Li family.

When the government was dispersed, the old lady changed her previous style and asked everyone to gather at Li Xiaonuan's house. Outside the yamen, the villagers of Xinzhou Village, who came to see the bustle, saw Li Xiaonuan and them, and they all leaned over to ask questions.

Li was asked so powerlessly that he knelt down in front of the old lady on the spot, kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Mother, it's the daughter-in-law who is wrong, you can spare the daughter-in-law." You know that Dagong is raising people outside, and he said that he is going to divorce me. I was annoyed at the time, so I poured my anger on Xiao Nuan. ”

Saying that, Li knelt down in front of Father Li and Su Shi, and also pleaded: "Big brother, sister-in-law, I was wrong, I should die." I beg you to help me persuade him not to divorce me. If you have a lot of work outside, I can't let him carry him in the door. Woo~~"

Because this qiē was reversed so bizarrely, it took a long time for everyone to react. After figuring out what Li said, Li Xiaonuan had to admire Li's scheming and scheming. Being able to admit the mistakes you have made in front of the public is in itself forgivable.

Moreover, this incident was set by her on the fourth uncle Li Dagong, and she was directly upgraded to a victim. In front of everyone's eyes, if the fourth uncle dares to say that he is divorced, then the fourth uncle will become a proper negative man.

Also, the Li family has promised to approach the fourth uncle's outer room to the door in public, which means that she is virtuous, and Li Dagong has no reason to divorce his wife. As for Li's plot against Li Xiaonuan, it was directly characterized as a small mistake made in a moment of dizziness.

The crowd of onlookers looked at the kneeling Li and discussed with each other. The reversal of public opinion is magical. Just now, he was accusing Li of being ruthless, but now, most people have begun to say good things about her.

In this way, the old lady had no choice but to take a breath, called Li up, and after a few symbolic scoldings, she squeezed everyone back to Xinzhou Village.
