Queen Mother, she just wants to lie down

"Qiao Jun, we in Daxi rule the world with filial piety.

You are a granddaughter, and you are forcing your grandmother like this in the court. Do you have any understanding of human ethics and filial piety?

As for the autopsy you mentioned, your parents have been buried for such a long time, and it is summer now, the bodies must have already rotted away. What can we find out even if we open the coffins for autopsy at this time?"

Qiao Wu stood in front of Tang, glared at Qiao Yun with an angry face and shouted at him.

"Uncle Wu is really filial. My good grandmother never treated me as her granddaughter. Just because she took the title of grandmother, can I not even tell the truth?

As for the bodies of my father and mother, don't worry. When they were buried, I placed a deep-sea pearl in each of their mouths.

Those two beads are not the most precious treasures in the world, but they can keep their bodies from decaying for three to five years.

My parents were clearly murdered. They had fatal wounds on their bodies, but you pretended not to see them and insisted on saying they died of illness and that I was the one who killed them.

You are my elders and you have power and influence. The life and death of my sister and I are in your control. We have nowhere to turn even if we want to complain. Naturally, whatever you say is the truth.

But as a child, knowing that your parents were killed by someone blind, even if they were unable to resist you at the time, you cannot just let it go.

It just so happens that Aze and I each have a deep-sea pearl. Those two pearls were obtained from the sea by our father when he was the county magistrate of Haining. He gave them to us as birthday gifts.

The beads can nourish the body of the living and keep the body of the dead from decaying for several years.

Before my father and mother were buried, I stuffed the two beads into their mouths, waiting for an opportunity in the future to perform an autopsy and re-examine the case.

Qiao Yun begs the great judge to open the coffins of my parents and conduct an autopsy to find out how they were murdered. "

Qiao Jun sneered, then turned around and bowed to Governor Su.

Qiao Wu and Tang Shi's pupils shrank at her words. Not only did this evil creature hide two such precious pearls right under their noses, but he also stuffed them into her parents' mouths?

Tang was furious and was about to speak, but Magistrate Su took over the conversation first:

"Qiao Yun, do you know that if you want to open the coffin of a buried person and perform an autopsy, if you can't find the evidence you mentioned, you will be severely punished for reporting a false case and destroying a corpse."

"Your Excellency, I know that if the results of the autopsy are different from what I said, I am willing to accept any punishment." Qiao Jun answered firmly.

"Okay, then I will do as you wish and arrange for an autopsy tomorrow."

"Your Excellency the Governor, no!" Qiao Wu and Tang said at the same time.

"Why not? Qiao Yun is the daughter of Qiao Sima. She believes that the cause of her father's death is suspicious, so there is nothing wrong with requesting an autopsy.

If no external cause of death is found after the examination, I will give her the punishment she deserves.

You guys are making excuses, are you really guilty and trying to cover up your guilt?" Governor Su looked at them unkindly.

"Sir Governor, my brother's death has absolutely nothing to do with us. I'm just worried about desecrating my brother's soul..." Qiao Wu said hurriedly.

“Humph, if you really have this kind of friendship towards your brother, you wouldn’t embarrass his children like this.

The coffin will be opened for an autopsy and there is no need for you to say anything more. I will not convict anyone before the autopsy results come out.

But if you keep shirking responsibility and obstructing, I can throw you into jail as a suspect!" Magistrate Su snorted.

He has been an official for more than 20 years. Although he has always adhered to the doctrine of the mean, it does not mean that he will not use drastic measures.

Qiao Wu and Tang were nearly choked to death by his words. They clenched their hands into fists under their sleeves and their facial muscles twitched constantly.

But they really didn't dare to refute it openly.

Faced with Magistrate Su who was determined not to give them face, no matter how tough Qiao and Tang were, they did not dare to confront him head-on in court.

“Also, since the title deed to the Qiao family’s ancestral home is in the hands of Qiao Yun and his sister, the house should be returned to them.

I give you three days to return the house.

Otherwise, I will send someone to kick you out." However, their silence did not mean that the matter was over. Governor Su then said another sentence.

"Although the title deed is in their hands, as their grandmother, I have the right to live in this house as long as I live." Tang couldn't help but blurt out.

"You are right. Although you are the second wife, you are also the nominal grandmother of Qiao Yun and his sister.

If you want to live in the ancestral home, that's fine, but everyone except you has to move out.

Qiao Yun, do you have any objection to my judgment?"

Prefect Su did not reject Tang's words. He nodded first before continuing.

"I have no objection to the judgment of the judge. If grandmother wants to stay in our house, I will fulfill my duties as a granddaughter." Qiao Yun replied.

"Did you hear that? Qiao Yun is much more reasonable than you. If Tang wants to stay in the ancestral home, she can stay, but everyone else must move out within three days and return the house to Qiao Yun and his sister." Prefect Su looked at Tang and Qiao Wu.

Qiao Wu and Tang Shi were dissatisfied, but they didn't dare to say it out loud.

"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your agreement. Oh, by the way, it seems that Qiao Sima's property is also in your hands.

It will take you a few days to move, and Qiao Jun and his sister will have nowhere to stay these days.

She didn't even have money to treat her sick brother, so she must have been penniless.

You can first take 200 taels of silver for her sister and brother to use, and the rest will be settled together when the house is handed over."

Governor Su didn't have time to care what they were thinking and continued to stab them in the wound.

Tang was so angry that her blood rushed to her head, her vision went dark, and she almost fell down. Qiao Jun, who was not far from her, quickly caught her.

"As ordered by the governor, I only have a few dimes on me. I will go back and give her two hundred taels of silver." Qiao Wu took a breath, suppressed the resentment and anger in his heart, and spoke.

"Okay, you guys go back first, I'll have Master Jin and Captain Yang accompany Miss Qiao to get it with you.

I will have someone notify you to come together when the coffin is opened tomorrow." Magistrate Su waved his hand.

Qiao Wu was only in his early thirties, still young, and although he was angry and furious, he was still calm when he came out of the court.

Tang was so angry about the judgment made by Prefect Su that she was about to explode. She was trembling all over when she came out of the government office, and had to be supported by Qiao Jun all the way.

Because she was so angry, she didn't notice who was supporting her along the way.

It was not until he got on the carriage that he realized the person supporting him was Qiao Yun. He immediately frowned and shook off Qiao Yun's hand: "You don't need to pretend to be kind."

She hated Qiao Jun so much now that she was unwilling to give her a good look even at the government gate.

Master Jin and Constable Yang, who were ordered to follow Qiao Yun to supervise the collection of money, shook their heads as they watched.

They had never seen an old lady from a noble family like Tang who was so mean to her stepson's family and was unwilling to even pretend to be polite.
