"Li Ergou, do you know what the sentence will be for kidnapping and trafficking children?" Ye Huaichen said expressionlessly.
"Return to... Your Highness, the common people... don't know." Li Ergou trembled with fright when he heard the sentence.
"My Highness sentenced the mastermind Ling Chi, and those bandits were cut in half." When Ye Huaichen said this, Li Shi visibly shook a few times, and the corner of Ye Huaichen's mouth curled up.
"Your Highness... have mercy on... it's all... Li... asked me to do it." Li Ergou trembled even more, and a pool of liquid appeared on the ground.
"Li Ergou, you are so slanderous, I don't even know you." Li moved away from him in disgust.
"Your Highness, what Cao Min said is true. Li's natal family and Cao Min are from the same village. Cao Min stole a hundred taels from their siblings to pay off their gambling debts. Later, Li found and gave Cao Min another 10 taels to sell them.
At first, Cao Min didn't dare. Mrs. Li said that Cao Min's mother was Miss Nan's nanny. Even if the incident happened, no one would believe that it was Cao Min who did it. When Cao Min saw that he could earn so much money at once, he was confused and agreed.
Just yesterday, she took another twenty taels of silver to the Cao Min, asking the Cao Min not to confess her. The Cao Min agreed, but she would still have to give ten taels of silver afterwards. "Life is more important than money, so Li Ergou confessed to Mr. Li.
"Your Highness, the servants from Nanfu will bring you here." The Yamen servant came in with five servants.
"Servants, slaves, I pay my respects to the Seventh Prince." Everyone knelt down.
"I think the Yamen servant has already told you on the way. His Highness will only give you one chance to tell the truth. Did Mr. Li abuse the Nan siblings?"
"Your Highness, Aunt Li did secretly deprive the young master of his food and even beat him." The maid on the far left gritted her teeth and told the truth.
"Yes, Aunt Li is indeed not good to the young master." Others told the truth when they saw someone telling the truth.
"Aunt Li knew that the young lady and the young master had run away from home, and she asked her servant to follow them secretly." A servant said.
"Li Cuiping, you actually lied to me." Chen Tao pointed at Mrs. Li angrily.
"So what if I lied to you?" Mrs. Li knew that the situation was over, so she simply stopped pretending.
"Back then, you also deceived Miss Nan's family, married into Nan's family, and left our mother and son in the countryside. Have you ever thought about how we, mother and son, lived?
You feasted and drank at Nan's house, and I took care of your sick mother at home. What did you do except send some meager money? Where were you when my son needed a father? How much money will be left after grabbing the medicine?
I find several jobs every day to support our mother and son. Who do you have to blame me? Chen Tao, I tell you that I worked hard to raise my son alone.
You only dared to recognize us after Mr. Nan passed away. It's ridiculous that I, the first wife, have to become a concubine.
You said you wanted to compensate us, mother and son, but you didn't show much love to the Nan siblings. You didn't care about us when Miss Nan was here, and you didn't care much about the two children when we were here.
The two children are still young, and you have the final say in the Nan family. If you marry someone else after a while, our mother and son will be abandoned again, just like the Nan family siblings.
You only have yourself in your heart. I am learning from you. Why can't I plan for myself and my son?
I was wrong, but you were the culprit. Chen Tao, remember, you are the reason why I am here today. "
Listening to Li's accusation, Chen Tao was so frightened that he took several steps back.
"Hmph! Scumbag!" Tianshu spurned him again.
"It seems that Mr. Li is also a poor person."
"This Chen Tao is really not a human being."
"I heard that Miss Nan was deceived by him, so he married into his wife. He took Mrs. Li back, and Miss Nan realized that she had been deceived, and she died a year later."
"Miss Nan was also killed by him."
"This Chen Tao kills people without using a knife, his methods are really good."
"There are so many dirty things in this world. These two children are lucky to meet the Seventh Prince. Otherwise, you know."
"That's right, that's it."
"Don't you think Mr. Li is too greedy?"
"Of course, after suffering so much, she must have become greedy."
"Bang!" The gavel sounded, and everyone fell silent.
"Chen Tao had a bad character when he cheated into marriage, and he wanted to be a wife and father. He was beaten thirty times with a cane and was sent to Guning, who will never return for the rest of his life.
Li's life was pitiable, and it was unacceptable to instigate others to violate French law. He was sentenced to ten years in prison, and Li Ergou was sentenced to fifteen years in prison. "
"Seventh Prince, spare your life." Li Ergou was so frightened that he kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"Seventh Prince, spare your life." Chen Tao did not expect that he would be sentenced. If he had known about it, he would have driven the Li family and his son out of the Nan family.
Guning is the coldest place in Tianqi Country, with year-round ice and snow, and extremely harsh environment. It is a place where there is no return. Life and death really depend on God. If he is beaten, he has to go to Guning. This means that he will die on the road.
"Thank you, Your Highness, but I'm tired as a commoner woman. Hui'er, mother didn't set a good example for you. Don't hold grudges and take good care of yourself in the future."
Li stood up and bumped into a pillar on the side. She fell down and looked at Chen Tao with wide eyes.
"Mom, you don't want to die, I don't want to be an orphan, we don't want the Nan family's property anymore, wake up!"
Mu Chaochao ran over to check his pulse. He was hit hard and had no will to survive. He was already dead. Mu Chaochao shook his head.
"Scumbag!" Mu Chaochao looked at Chen Tao with disdain.
"Bah! Scumbag!" Tianshu spat again.
"Scumbag!" Nan Xingchen scolded fiercely.
"Do you know what scumbag means?" Mu Chaochao asked amusedly as he squatted in front of him.
"I don't know. If Sister Fairy calls you a scumbag, I will follow suit and say you are a scumbag."
Nan Xingchen looked at her cutely, and Mu Chaochao held her forehead. It seemed that she could not curse in front of children in the future.
Chen Tao watched Li being knocked to death in front of him, his face turned pale and he huddled aside.
"The officials on the left and right are executing the sentence!"
"Yes, Your Highness." The yamen servant used the wooden stick in his hand to lift Chen Tao and lay him down on the ground. The two yamen servants beat him mercilessly. Chen Tao was soon knocked unconscious and thrown into prison.
Everyone returned to the backyard and sighed silently, watching the two siblings worry about where they were going.
"Sister, please don't let us leave. My brother and I will eat less in the future." Nan Yue was afraid that Mu Chaochao wouldn't want them, so she looked at her cautiously.
"Otherwise, let's accept them! Nanyue will be with Chaochao, and Xiaoxingchen will be with Xiao Heng'er." Mu Yunxi said after thinking about it.
"Okay, I agree!" Mrs. Mu Er agreed. It was not easy for the two children without adults to take care of them.
"Thank you, ladies." Nanyue bowed happily.
"Compared to the two of them, I am still very lucky." Maybelline smiled after feeling relieved.
"Pauline, are you okay?" Mr. Xue looked at her in surprise.
"She is no longer stupid, she just doesn't want to talk." Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to listening, hearing and asking, and Mu Chaochao has long seen it. May Baolian's opening her mouth now means that she has figured it out.
After Mei Baolian regained consciousness, she saw her father's displeasure, the ridicule of her second and third bedroom mates, and the indifference of Mei's family, which made her feel chilled. Fortunately, she still had her mother.
She was scared when she first found out she had a child in her belly. Her mother's protection and the Mu family's open-mindedness made her think a lot.
In addition to her mother, she has another family member in this world. She should feel satisfied. At least God has arranged another path for their mother and daughter.
"Lian'er, when did you wake up?"
"It'll be fine when you wake up after fainting. Mom, the baby has made you suffer during this time." Maybelline looked at Mr. Xue distressedly.
"It's not bitter. Mom only has you as her child. As long as you are well, mom will be fine." Xue patted her hand with wet eyes.
"It seems that the child in your belly is here to repay the favor." Mu Chaochao said tentatively.
"That's right, mother, this child is our hope for the future, we should teach him well." Maybelline touched her belly lovingly.
"Okay." Ms. Xue was very pleased. Fortunately, her daughter thought more about it.
"Little miss, thank you. I will repay you well in the future." Maybelline looked at Mu Chaochao gratefully.
"You should take good care of yourself first and give birth to this child!"
The Mu family looked at their mother and daughter, thinking that Mu Chaochao's kindhearted shelter was not in vain.
"Okay, let's go to the hall to have lunch first. In the afternoon, I will take you back to Nan's house to count and sell your property." Mu Chaochao looked at the two siblings.
"Okay." The siblings held hands and followed Mu Chaochao.
