The second son of the Lin family was panicked for a moment when he heard the words, but he quickly calmed down, "Nonsense! Your daughter has no sense of self-discipline. How could she make such a accusation? My Lin family has been innocent for generations. How could we do such a shameless thing?"

An elderly woman next to the man stood up with an arrogant look on her face. "As everyone knows, our Lin family values ​​honor and morality the most! If you want to accuse my son, you must provide evidence. The official just said that rumors can be spread with just one mouth. Do you also want to be beaten in public?"

Qi wanted to cry but had no tears. How arrogant she was in the past, how humble she was now. She didn't understand why her daughter was beaten for no reason.

Ming Rufei was confused when she heard that the lover who had tried to coax her into having sex refused to admit it. She felt heartbroken and woke up in anger.

I promised to come and propose marriage this month! I promised to marry her as my first wife! I promised to love only her for the rest of my life and never take a concubine!

What we had agreed on, now it's all gone. Ming Rufei spat out a mouthful of blood, and was completely hopeless, "Lin Zidong, you will not die well!"

Lin Zidong, the second son of the Lin family, was scolded and became angry and embarrassed. Just as he was about to scold back, he was stopped by his mother.

He suddenly came to his senses and realized that he must not quarrel with a disgraced woman in public.

That would be such a huge price drop!

Ma Chuyi asked the crowd, "Are there any doctors or midwives among you?"

He just wanted to prove the fact that Ming Rufei was misbehaving and that was why she threw dirty water on Ming Zhao.

There really was one in the crowd. An old woman stepped forward and bowed, "Your Excellency, I am a midwife."

Many people recognized it.

"Isn't that Wang Po?"

"Yes, it was Grandma Wang. She was the one who delivered my grandson."

"She was the one who delivered my son, too!"

Wang Po is very famous, but she is not just a nobody.

Ma Chuyi asked her to check Ming Rufei's pulse.

Wang Po naturally understood, and as soon as she felt the girl's pulse, she knew, "This girl is pregnant."

Ma Chuyi nodded and said, "You will go to the government office to collect the money later. This rumor case will be recorded. You are a witness."

Grandma Wang narrowed her eyes in a smile. She had never thought that she could make money just by watching the fun. "Yes, yes, I will be there to testify whenever you call."

Ma Chuyi ordered, "This woman is pregnant, so the caning will be suspended. She will be detained in prison first."

The master recorded the remaining fourteen strokes of the cane in a book, and sooner or later he would finish them.

But Ming Rufei was still not calm. She supported her bloody body and threw the jade pendant hanging on her waist at the second son of the Lin family. "Lin Zidong, just wait! I'm going to sue you for raping a woman!"

You are unkind to me, so don't blame me for being unjust to you! Since you don't acknowledge our relationship, then we'll fight to the death!

The incident happened suddenly, and the jade pendant hit Mr. Lin II and bounced to the feet of someone else. Someone picked it up and looked at it, and passed it around.

There is a word "Lin" clearly engraved on the jade pendant. What's not to understand?

Mr. Lin II also panicked and blurted out, "Give me back the jade pendant!"

This further confirmed the unmediated affair between him and Ming Rufei, and his face turned pale.

If I had known this, I wouldn’t have come to watch the fun!

The mother of the second son of the Lin family did not expect to be dragged into the mess just for watching the fun, and she had always looked down on merchant families, and originally planned to let her son take Ming Rufei as a concubine.

If she hadn't been eyeing the Ming family's money, she would never have thought of letting this girl in.

Now that the Ming family was in this state, she was even more determined to cut off the relationship completely. But she was still bitten. How could she not be angry?

What made him even more angry was that soon two officials came forward to arrest Mr. Lin Er, "Let's go to the government office. This girl is accusing you of adultery!"

The second young master Lin immediately struggled, "I won't go! She's talking nonsense! She spread rumors and caused trouble, hit her, hit her!"

"Whether it is a rumor or not, we will know after we verify it."

At this time, several handsome young men came out of the house.

One of them was dressed in white and spoke clearly, "The Northern Wing Law clearly stipulates that those who commit adultery are more severely punished than those who commit adultery. Adultery is punishable by 70 strokes of the cane and exile for 3,000 miles; those who commit adultery against married women are beheaded; those who commit adultery against girls under the age of twelve are hanged."

This is of course a walking book of law. It is the duty of an official to educate the people about the law.

Another nobleman, Tang Xinghe, who was wearing a cloud-patterned blue robe, said in a clear voice, "Mr. Wu, the prefect of Muzhou, is famous for his impartiality. If you have grievances, you can go to the government office and file a complaint immediately. Once the facts are verified, there will be no leniency."

Shi Yunqi added, "Of course, those who make false accusations will be punished more severely."

Ma Chuyang: "..." I also wanted to say something, but I didn't know what to say: "Ah! Yes! That's it!"

Master Lin's legs went limp in the crowd, and he fell to the ground, crying loudly, "I didn't commit adultery, no! No! She seduced me! I couldn't help myself... I was at most adulterous..."

This was publicly acknowledged!

"Take him away!" Ma Chuyi gave an order and his subordinates started to arrest the man.

Lin's mother cried and stood in front of her son, "We were just here to watch the fun! How could we be arrested for watching the fun?"

Dong Yuwei made a move and captured Lin Zidong in an instant.

Lin Zidong had never seen such a scene before, and he started crying like a child, "Mother, mother, save me! I don't want to go to the government office! I won't go..."

Mrs. Lin loved her son the most. Seeing this, she panicked. "Dong'er! Dong'er! Don't be afraid! I! I! I! Yes, my eldest uncle is General Lin Yucheng, the garrison commander of Jiangcheng! I, Dong'er, am General Lin's nephew!" She suddenly remembered, "My brother-in-law is General Ma! General Ma Liyang of Huai'an! Dong'er, General Ma is your uncle! Don't be afraid!"

Let's see who dares to move! The two generals will scare you to death!

Ma Chuyi: “!!!”

Ma Liyang! I'm so scared!

Ma Chuyang, who was watching the fun next to Tang Xinghe, said: "!!!"

That's my dad! My dad!

Mrs. Ma, who was watching the excitement with great interest in the crowd, said: "!!!"

Thank you! Are you thinking of me, a relative you have lost contact with long ago?

Mrs. Ma, Qin, ran away from home and got married because her parents looked down on Ma Liyang, and she cut off all contact with her natal family for many years.

Later, Ma Liyang became successful and became a prominent general of Huai'an, and the Qin family sent people to show their goodwill again.

Mrs. Ma knew very well that the Qin family were people who only cared about profit and flattered the powerful and looked down on the weak, so she firmly refused to have any contact with them.

This Mrs. Lin was Mrs. Ma’s biological sister, and she often laughed at her and said bad things about her in public.

At that time, Mrs. Ma was pregnant with two children in her belly. She was almost miscarried by her own sister when they met each other on the road.

In fact, the Lin family of Jiangcheng was not bad, and they controlled the military power of the Jiangcheng garrison. But that was the eldest branch of the Lin family, and this Mrs. Lin married into the third branch.

The third room is not up to the task. Mrs. Lin's husband is a weakling. He committed a crime in the army and was dismissed from the army. He has been a idler waiting to die for several years.

Mrs. Lin then asked her elder sister, Mrs. Ma, for help on behalf of her husband, hoping that General Ma would arrange a good position for her husband in the army.

Mrs. Ma naturally ignored him.

At that time, Mrs. Lin left with a harsh remark before she left, "If you don't even lend a hand to your own brother-in-law, you will become a divorced wife sooner or later and no one will say a word for you!"

Now is the time when sisters meet and are particularly jealous of each other.
