When Xiang's family rushed into Li Chunyun's hut angrily to question everything, Li Chunyun had already been safely sent to the Jingfu Yamen.

There was a complaint and witnesses, but more importantly, the plaintiff, who personally sued her son for beating his mother and her husband for favoring his concubine over his wife, went to the yamen in person even though she was dragging her bruised and battered body!

He also beat the Dengwen drum to express his grievances.

There are witnesses and evidence of injuries.

Such evidence is conclusive and full of injustice. It is not tolerated by etiquette, law, and the secular world. It is a matter that outrages both heaven and man, and the Xiang family cannot afford to argue about it.

Therefore, Xiang Chengyan and his eldest son were arrested that day.

Although such funny things are rarely heard in the world, there is a law in Daliang.

And Xiang Jia wanted to accuse Li Chunyun of not being a woman and committing seven crimes, but it was impossible.

After all, not only could the Xiang family not provide evidence, but also because Li Chunyun had some reputation, many people knew that she had no choice but to leave her hometown for the treatment of her eldest relative.

Xiang Chengyan first kept a mistress, and later helped the mistress to ascend to power and bully the mistress.

Such common people dare to pamper their concubines and destroy their wives, which is a serious legal crime.

Therefore, Xiang Chengyan was sentenced to a fine of fifty silver coins and one year in prison.

As for Xiang's eldest son, Li Chunyun's only son, he was sentenced to one hundred lashes.

If you can pay the one hundred taels of fine silver, fifty taels can be exempted.

The eldest son Xiang fully thought that his mother would come out with money to redeem his whip, but what he was waiting for was indeed the woman's indifference.

"Don't blame me. My money is to be left to my son..."

The eldest son of the Xiang family then realized the woman's evil heart. When he regretted it so much that he rushed to Li Chunjun and cried for his mother, Li Chunjun just gently pulled the hem of her skirt out of his hands.

"I gave birth to you and raised you, but I never taught you. This is my responsibility. I am willing to take twenty lashes for you. Whether you can survive the remaining eighty lashes depends on your luck! From now on, you and I, mother and son, will sever our ties and renounce our mother-son relationship. We will have no connection with each other from now on!"

After saying this, Li Chunjun knelt in the main hall of the yamen, resolutely waiting for his execution.

This made the county magistrate hesitate for a moment, so he quickly went to read the criminal law book and confirmed that this law was not strictly prohibited before he gave up.

"Since I want to keep her last piece of my mother's heart, let her go!"

After saying that, he gave Jiang Wancheng a flattering look.

Jiang Wancheng:...

Although this dog county magistrate is not very smart and is lazy, he handles cases very quickly.

Moreover, his memory is so good that he still remembers that he was protected by Beizhen Fusi.

Jiang Wancheng turned her eyes away. Although she couldn't bear to watch, this was Li Chunjun's choice, so she didn't stop her.

Perhaps, it is these whippings again and again that can dispel all the pain in her heart.

From then on, she was able to truly let go of the past and start a new life as a new Li Chunyun.

Originally, when Li Chunyun's parents knew all this, they were unwilling to testify for her and even refused to go to court, thinking it was a shameful thing.

But when they heard that their grandson was going to be whipped 100 times, the old couple finally came over, stumbling and supporting each other.

When they arrived, the first thing they saw was the twenty lashes that Li Chunjun had received as punishment.

Li Chunjun stared at her parents, but heard them still insulting her.

"There is no mother as cruel as you in this world! How could you watch your son die? You are trying to kill him!!"

"Master, please spare our grandson. If you want to beat him, just beat his mother to death!! His mother is a useless woman anyway, she is the root of the Xiang family!!"

"Sir, please give me the remaining eighty lashes as well..."

"You vicious woman! As the saying goes, family disgrace should not be made public, but you insist on letting everyone in the world know. How could our Xiang family produce a troublemaker like you!!"

"We don't have a daughter like you..."

"Li Chunjun, you will be punished for doing such evil things!"

"It's simply unreasonable——"

Originally, some people were criticizing Li Chunjun's behavior, but under the insults from the two elders of the Li family, all the onlookers gradually changed their expressions.

"Whose parents are you?"

The elders of the Li family replied confidently: "We are the parents of this evil woman! We are so ashamed to have given birth to such an unfilial and evil woman!"

Everyone looked at them strangely.

An old woman couldn't help herself and spat on Li's mother's face. "Who is the evil woman? I think you are the one! You keep saying how there can be such a cruel mother in the world, but who are you? Your own flesh and blood is still being tortured, but you asked the officials to beat her to death. Isn't her life a life?"

"Yes. Your grandson beat her mother like that. Don't you parents know that? Can't you support justice for her? As long as someone could support her, she wouldn't do what she did today. Take action."

"I finally understand why everyone in Li did this! Her husband's family wanted to force her to death, and her mother's family also wanted to force her to die. It's really hard!"

"It's enough to give birth to a rebellious son. I didn't expect my parents to be like this. They favor outsiders and refuse to trust their own flesh and blood. What kind of worldliness is this?"

"This Xiang family is really dirty. The Li family is not a good thing either! The Li family is really miserable, being born into such a family and marrying into that kind of family."

"Tsk, tsk, the mother of the Li family is the daughter of the Xiang family, don't you understand?"

"But when the Li family left the No. 1 embroidery shop in the world, wasn't it because their mother and grandpa were ill and had no money, and the Xiang family and the rest of the Li family had no ability to make money, so she had no choice but to go away?"

"Yes, in the end, no one thanked her. They felt that she had worked hard and was wronged, and took her efforts for granted. I heard that the Xiang family wanted to sue her for not serving her parents-in-law and husband. How shameless!"

"It's so pitiful. If I were beaten by my son and forced into this situation by a mistress and my husband, and my family didn't support me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to survive..."

"Yes, how many women in this world can be as strong as the Li family?"

Everyone felt sympathy for Li Chunjun. The elderly couple of the Li family couldn't stand being pointed at and left in disgrace.

Naturally, the rest of the Xiang family were unyielding, insulting Li Chunyun at one moment, crying at another, and begging for help at another.

Jiang Wancheng just wanted Li Chunyun's ears to be cleaner, so he glanced at Bai Liu and the others.

Bai Liu and others immediately dragged the rest of the Xiang family down.

Li Chunjun was whipped twenty times, and he was already injured before, so when he was carried out, he was almost half dead.

Jiang Wancheng gave her a few injections on the spot, which temporarily suspended her life.
