Chapter 50

According to the law of the Chinese People's Republic of China, if the plaintiff's request for a private hearing of the case is not agreed to by the defendant, the defendant may refuse to accept the summons of the yamen.

In other words, the Shen family wants to sue Shang Jinyan, unless Shang Jinyan agrees to hear the case privately, otherwise, as long as Shang Jinyan explicitly requests that the case be tried publicly, either the Shen family is forced to withdraw the lawsuit, or the case can only be tried publicly.

Shen Chongshan sent his mother to his brother-in-law's house to fulfill his maintenance duties, and he dared to sue Shang Jinyan?

Knowing that the lawsuit was lost, as long as it was tried privately, how could outsiders know what he was suing Shang Jinyan? How do you know if you will win or lose a lawsuit?

Anyway, Shang Jinyan was accused, and his reputation would be poor, and when the Shen family came out of the rumors, Shang Jinyan was speechless.

As a businessman, if the news of being sued by someone to the yamen spreads, it will have a certain impact on his reputation. For a businessman like him, reputation is silver, and once his reputation is damaged, the loss of silver is not a fraction of the loss.

So the Shen family asked for a private trial of the case, and it was such an idea, for what?

It's just that he wants to force Shang Jinyan to give the Shen family some benefits.

The Shen family expected that Shang Jinyan would not dare to go to the Yamen, because as long as he went, whether he won or lost the lawsuit, Shang Jinyan's reputation would be damaged, and if he wanted not to go to the Yamen, then Shang Jinyan would give the Shen family the money and let the Shen family withdraw the lawsuit themselves.

Even if Shang Jinyan went to the yamen and won the lawsuit in the end, the Shen family would also spread rumors to smear Shang Jinyan, so if Shang Jinyan wanted the Shen family not to make rumors, he would also use money to seal the Shen family's mouth.

The Shen family has always been very determined, Shang Jinyan did not dare to deal with the matter of his defendant publicly, once it was made public, wouldn't it be to tell everyone that he was accused? His reputation was in jeopardy.

But the Shen family didn't expect that Shang Jinyan was not in Liuzhou, and it was his daughter Shang Yuyue who went to the yamen on his behalf.

This is a different situation.

Because of the rumors last time, people all know that Shang Yuyue quietly paid off the debt to her uncle's family with 130,000 taels of silver behind her father's back, but was finally smeared by the Shen family.

Therefore, knowing that Shang Jinyan was not in Liuzhou, it was Shang Yuyue who went to the Yamen on his behalf, and Shang Yuyue also ordered someone to go to the Yamen to say that he wanted a public trial, Du Shi hurriedly went to Shang Yuyue.

Several exhortations, nothing more than to persuade her not to be tried publicly, Shang Jinyan said how important her reputation is, she is a woman who has not been out of the cabinet and has a bad reputation in the yamen, it is best for the two families to be private.

There was a lot of truth in the words, and she spoke bitterly, as if she was thinking about the business and the moon.

The Du family seems to have forgotten that it was their Shen family who sued Shang Jinyan.

In the end, Du Shi opened his mouth again with a look of me thinking about you, "As long as the merchant gives the Shen family 50,000 taels of silver, we have this matter privately, and in the future, your grandmother and you can be as filial as you want, and our Shen family will not mention this matter again." ”

"What if I don't?"

Shang Yuyue sneered: "Uncle, do you think I'm a fool?" My grandmother was so angry with my uncle that I had a stroke, and you disliked my grandmother and threw my grandfather into the business, okay, my father was filial, and I took care of my grandmother, what are you doing with your uncle now?

How many times did the merchant ask for silver, but we didn't give it, and you and your uncle slandered us for putting our grandmother under house arrest, and also sued the merchant, and asked for money for personal gain?

Uncle, my father has to give you and your uncle support your grandmother and give you silver, you are embarrassed to sue for this, please be embarrassed to go to the yamen to be your defendant! ”

Du Shi choked, his face turned blue, and then he began to speak bitterly: "Please Yue, now that your father is not here, if you go to the church, it will not be good if the reputation of the lady is damaged at that time, and you also know that if the reputation of a woman is seriously damaged, it will be difficult to marry, we are still private, and 50,000 taels of silver is just a drop in the bucket for the business." ”

"Uncle, what you are saying now, if my father were here, he might really give you some silver for the sake of reputation. However, unfortunately, Daddy is not here. You tell me about women's reputation? I wasn't afraid when the Shen family smeared me, but now it's just the last trip to the Yamen, can I still be afraid? ”

"Shang Yuyue, you'd better think clearly, no matter how hard the Shen family is, no matter how bad the Shen family is, they will have enough money to find someone to smear your reputation, so that you will not be able to marry someone for the rest of your life!"

Du Shi was almost driven out of the house by the merchant's subordinates.

However, compared to Du's embarrassment, Shang Yuyue was much lighter, and she got up and walked towards the side door of the flower hall.

There, there were two doctors who were conditioning Mrs. Shen's body.

One is a famous old doctor in Liuzhou, and the other is a young doctor who has worked as a medicine boy in the imperial hospital.

The two of them heard what Du Shi said before.

Shang asked Yue Qingfu to give a salute: "Let the two doctors laugh." ”

At the end of noon, the county government opened the hall, and Shang Yueyue stood in the hall in a moon-white long skirt, and Chen Shaoyou in the hall was dressed in a blue-green official uniform, wearing a flat-winged black gauze hat, and his expression was cold.

The moment the four eyes met, they all moved away without a trace.

"The little woman asked me to meet the adults in the month."

"No courtesy."

Chen Shaoyou looked at the lively people at the entrance of the yamen, and asked the master who was sitting not far below him, "Is the Shen family still in the future?" ”

The master was an old man who was not confused, and he stood up and replied, "Not yet." ”

Chen Shaoyou nodded, and said, "Does the Shen family have a withdrawal complaint?" ”

Master shook his head: "No." ”

Although the muttering of people outside the hall was deliberately suppressed, many of them also entered the ears of Shang Yueyue.

"Why did the Shen family sue the eldest lady of the merchant?"

"It's really a conscience that was eaten by a dog, but the Shang girl gave the Shen family more than 100,000 taels of silver without telling her father, the Shen family didn't remember it, but they even slandered and smeared the Shang girl, and today I don't know what happened, the Shang girl was bitten by the Shen family again."

"Tsk, last time it was 130,000 taels of silver, and this time I don't know how much silver this merchant girl has to come up with to satisfy the Shen family."

"The merchant is not here, so the merchant girl is a weak woman...... Alas, why is this Shen family so ruthless? ”

"It's not, it's a good girl's family, but she was accused in court, and her reputation in the future is not so good."

“……”

Shang Yuyue heard these words, and Chen Shaoyou also heard them, he glanced at Shang Yuyue, and ordered a servant to pass on Shen Chongshan.

Before the official went out, the servant of the Shen family brought the complaint to be withdrawn, on the grounds that the Shen family could not bear to let their niece be pointed at, so they withdrew the complaint.

There was a sigh outside the hall, some people said that the Shen family was hypocritical, and some people said that fortunately, the Shen family took into account the blood and family affection to some extent, and they were talking about it in twos and threes.
