Chapter 13: Female Lawyers

Ye Xiaotian said in surprise: "Who is the little lady?" You...... Hurry up and let go, what kind of system does this look like? ”

The young woman was frightened and anxious, and she was always worried about being found by her family, but now she finally saw Ye Xiaotian, just like a drowning person grabbing a piece of wood, where was she willing to let go, she just cried loudly, and her grievances turned into sorrows, and her hand was so stubborn that she refused to let go.

Ye Xiaotian looked at the master of the king in embarrassment, and the master of the king looked helpless. Ye Xiaotian looked at Tian Miaowen with some begging, and said curtly: "Miss Tian, look at this ......"

Seeing this scene, Tian Miaowen also realized that her previous guess was a little wrong, so she moved forward, bent down to support the young woman, and said softly: "This sister, please get up and speak, even if you have any grievances, it is not a way to cry so at this door." ”

is also a woman, which made the young woman feel a little safe, and seeing Tian Miaowen speaking kindly, the young woman also knew that she was out of order, so she nodded hurriedly and stood up with tears in her eyes.

Seeing this, Master Wang said to Ye Xiaotian: "Ye Dianshi, do you want to go back to the hall to talk, it is inconvenient at this door." ”

As he spoke, there were already pedestrians on the road standing and looking over curiously, Ye Xiaotian nodded, so the three of them led the young woman back to the living room of the king's house.

Wang Zhushu and Ye Xiaotian sat down at the top, Tian Miaowen helped the young woman to sit down at the bottom, and after a few words of comfort, she also returned to her seat and sat down.

Ye Xiaotian asked with a pleasant face: "This lady, what grievances do you have that ask this official to uphold justice?" Oh, this is the county chief bookkeeper Lord Wang, hehe, if you have grievances, if the two of us can't solve them, I'm afraid that there is no one in the county who can make decisions for you. ”

The young woman glanced timidly at the king's master's book, quickly lowered her eyes, and said faintly: "Two great masters." The slave's surname is Ye, and the single name is a Qianzi. It is a native of East Erlibao in this county. ”

Ye Xiaotian smiled: "Okay, it's my own family." You say, what grievances, neighborhood disputes, oppression by the gentry, or ......"

The young woman slurred and said, "It's all ...... Neither. Slave...... The slave's husband died of illness two years ago, and the slave family wanted to remarry, but ...... But my father-in-law didn't allow it, and my uncle still ...... He also threatened and insulted him. Slave ......," said the young woman, and she couldn't help but shed tears again.

When Wang Zhushu and Ye Xiaotian heard this, their faces sank at the same time, and their eyes looked at this young woman with some disdain.

Although the imperial court never legally stipulated that widows should not remarry, the official has always encouraged the observance of festivals, such as observing festivals for a certain number of years. The family can be exempted from paying taxes for more years, and the chastity archway can be erected for this woman, and the attitude of encouragement and advocacy has been maintained. The king will naturally not sympathize with those who remarry after their husbands die.

Ye Xiaotian was born in a commoner and grew up in a civilian area, and he knows the hard work of poor families guarding the independent door of widows. Therefore, there is no resistance to the woman's remarriage, but the absence of resistance does not mean that he welcomes it with both hands and feet.

In particular, he understood that women remarried. But seeing that the young woman had been dead for only two years, she cried and shouted for a remarriage, and even ran to the officials to complain, she couldn't wait a little longer, and her disgust also arose.

The king said in a deep voice: "If you want to remarry, your husband's family will not allow it, can you discuss this matter with your mother's family?" ”

Ye Qian hung her head and said in a low voice: "The slave family's maiden family is poor, and the husband's family is rich and wealthy, and the parents and brothers dare not offend, how can they be the masters of the slave family." ”

Wang Zhushu said: "In this case, you should go to the county magistrate of the county to be the master, the history is responsible for the arrest of the murderer and the thief, how can such a civil dispute have the right to deal with it beyond the rules?" ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "What the king said is good, this kind of thing is the authority of the dignity of a county, not the official can be the master, Ye Xiaoniang, you have found the wrong person!" ”

Ye Qian got up from the chair in a hurry, knelt on the ground, and begged: "Master Ye, the slave family went to the county government last year, but the county master sent the slave family back as soon as he heard it, saying that it was either the father and brother agreed, or Uncle Weng agreed, otherwise he would not pay attention to this matter. ”

As soon as Ye Xiaotian heard that she had gone to the county magistrate last year, her husband had only been dead for two years, and last year was just a year after his death, before that, he must have had a dispute with his mother-in-law's family, so he sued the court, so that soon after her husband died, she clamored to remarry, and she was even more disdainful in her heart, so she said coldly: "This matter is not under the authority of this official, Ye can't help you, Ye Xiaoniang, please go back!" ”

When Ye Qian heard this, she cried in despair: "Master, if you don't be the master of the slave family, the slave family will only die!" ”

Ye Xiaotian was furious, and patted the case: "How can this be reasonable, do you threaten the official with death and drive her out!" The two kings in the hall immediately looked at the king's book, and the king's bookkeeper had long hated this woman's shameless lewdness.

"Wait!"

Tian Miaowen got up, glanced at Ye Qian, who was desperate and weeping, and asked slowly: "Little lady Ye, you want to remarry, but you already have a favorite family?" ”

Little Lady Ye was stunned for a moment, and said sneeringly: "It's still ...... Not yet. However, as long as the husband's family agrees to remarry, the slave family can live back to their parents' house first, and the slave family is still young and wants to remarry...... Total...... It's not always that hard. ”

Master Wang said coldly: "Not only is he young, but he is also quite beautiful, and it is naturally not difficult to remarry!" ”

Ye Qian's face was swollen and red, and she looked a little embarrassed, but one was weak in nature, and the other was that the king was an official, so she mocked her a few words, and she didn't dare to refute it, but her lips moved a few times, and she didn't say anything.

Ye Xiaotian was young, and his brain reaction was faster than that of Master Wang, and after listening to Tian Miaowen's question, his heart suddenly jumped, and he suddenly realized that he had made a strict mistake.

Tian Miaowen glanced at Ye Xiaotian with a smile, stepped forward to help Ye Xiaoniang, and said softly: "I think my sister has some unspeakable words that should not be announced to the public, you and I are both women, there is nothing bad to say, come, I will accompany my sister to the back, let's talk slowly." ”

Tian Miaowen took the little woman's hand and walked to the back hall slowly, Wang Zhushu and Ye Xiaotian looked at each other, at this time, Wang Zhushu also came back to his senses, frowned, and said, "This little woman seems to have something else hidden?" ”

Ye Xiaotian smiled bitterly and said: "Ye is ashamed, as soon as he heard that this woman couldn't wait to remarry, Ye was disgusted and ignored it. I am an official, and I have asked about the case, but it is not as good as making my niece's heart as careful as a hair, and it is time to learn from it. ”

Master Wang smiled silently, and said in his heart: "This is the eldest lady who is in charge of the internal affairs of the Tian family, and if she can take care of the Tian family's huge family business in an orderly manner, it is more than enough to govern a province, you are just a small history, you are not as good as her, what is there to be ashamed of." ”

Tian Miaowen took Ye Xiaoniang to the back hall, sat down with her and interrogated her carefully, such a private place, facing an amiable homosexuality, Ye Xiaoniang no longer had so many scruples, so she told her about her hardships.

As Tian Miaowen expected, this little lady Ye obviously has no sweetheart, but she wants to remarry to death, and it is indeed out of a family scandal. The husband she married had been a sick man since he was a child, otherwise with her husband's position as the richest man in the castle, she would have been married to a woman from a small family.

But Ye Xiaoniang married only half a year ago, her husband died, she was born young and beautiful, the unscrupulous father-in-law and brother-in-law disregarded their identity, and started her idea, so that this Ye Xiaoniang rested every night as if she was fighting, the doors and windows were tight, and scissors were put under the pillow, so that she was afraid that she would have to rest for a while.

Thanks to the Weng uncles, they also took care of the dignity of the family and didn't dare to be too unscrupulous, so she was able to maintain her innocence until now, but she was already haggard and couldn't hold on, so she wanted to remarry in desperation, but Uncle Weng was not allowed, and her mother's family did not dare to support her.

In desperation, she happened to hear that Ye Xiaotian had a very good official reputation, and was a well-known Qing official in the county, Ye Xiaoniang lasted for a long time, and finally won a chance to leave her husband's house.

Tian Miaowen listened to Ye Xiaoniang's tearful words, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "I know your affairs, these things are indeed not suitable for publication, as long as you say it, no matter whether you have been offended or not, there will always be some boring people who add branches and leaves, ruin your innocence, and you will not be able to raise your head and be a person from now on." And if your husband's family resolutely denies it, you don't have any evidence, but I'm afraid that it will become your slander against your husband's family in order to remarry. ”

Little Lady Ye wept and said, "What Miss said is that the little girl really doesn't have any ideas, and she doesn't want to do things that are inferior to beasts, so ...... Only then did I think of turning to Ye Qingtian for help. If Ye Qingtian can't help the little girl, then ...... The little woman had to die with her full name. ”

The corners of Tian Miaowen's mouth twitched, and she said disdainfully: "Ye Qingtian? What do you say, Ye Xiaotian? What kind of blue sky is he, among the scoundrels, he is barely an official. In the official, he is a scoundrel ......"

Little Lady Ye's eyes widened, and she argued: "Miss doesn't know, Master Ye is really a good official, he ......"

Tian Miaowen said: "Okay, okay, whether he is a good official or not, it is impossible for you to ask him for help in this matter." He has always been at odds with the county magistrate, and this matter is under the control of the county magistrate, he can't help you, if he oversteps his authority, not only can't help you, but it's also a big trouble for himself. ”

The brilliance in Ye Xiaoniang's eyes gradually dimmed, and she said faintly: "Master Ye is already the last hope of the slave family, if Lord Ye can't help the slave family, then the slave family only has ......."

Tian Miaowen smiled slightly and said, "Of course, he can't help you, but I can!" ”

Little Lady Ye said in surprise: "You? ”

Tian Miaowen looked at her with naughty eyes, and said with a smile: "Not bad! As...... How about you hire me to be your lawyer, and I'll help you win this lawsuit? ”
