The wronged female supporting role made a comeback with a divine reply

Seeing that the old woman remained silent, Wang Jinnian continued, "I also heard it clearly just now. Madam Hou suspected that this girl seduced the second young master and spread rumors to smear the second young master and the concubine of the Jiang family, right?"

"Yes!" The old woman had no choice but to respond.

"In that case, we should go to the government office and report the case."

Report to the police? The old woman looked helpless. Which noble family would report such a thing to the police? They would handle it privately. If they really reported it to the police, wouldn't it ruin their reputation?

How does this work?

Bai Zhaozhao said, "Lord Wang is right! I want to report a case! An hour ago, the second son of the Marquis's mansion and the concubine of the Jiang family had a secret meeting in the firewood room, and I accidentally saw it when the Marquis's wife went to arrest them!

Then this woman appeared here and slandered me for seducing her second son, intending to cover up the fact of their secret meeting and pregnancy in order to save their reputation!

But a secret meeting is a secret meeting, and the concubine's daughter is pregnant, so no matter how hard we try to cover it up, it will soon be impossible to hide it!"

Seeing Bai Zhaozhao keep talking about having a secret meeting and being pregnant, the old woman was so angry that she almost fainted. She just wondered if this little country girl Bai Zhaozhao was mentally retarded.

To go on, even if Wang Shaoqing saved her now, I'm afraid Governor Jiang would not be able to tolerate her in the future!

Wang Jinnian also thought that this girl was a bit fierce, but there was nothing he could do. He still had to protect her.

"Okay, since both of you insist on your own opinions, I will take over this case!"

"Take it, take it?" The old woman seemed to have heard some huge joke. A dignified Marble Shaoqing was going to take on a commoner woman's accusation against the Marquis' Mansion?

Are you afraid you haven't woken up yet?

Bai Zhaozhao said happily: "Thank you, Lord Wang! I don't think we need to go anywhere else. The second son of the Hou family and the concubine of the Jiang family are currently in Qingquan Temple. As long as Lord Wang can invite them here, I can prove that they are the couple who had a secret meeting!"

People around: Wow, this can be proved? What a big drama!

Wang Jinnian's eyes flashed with surprise: "Okay, but I have to say in advance, if the young lady cannot prove it, you will be charged with defaming the Marquis' Mansion, and you will be exiled!"

"Exile?" Bai Zhaozhao was slightly stunned, but quickly said, "Don't even mention exile, I'd be willing to be beheaded!"

The people around sighed when they heard this. This girl was truly a fierce individual. A village girl actually dared to challenge the authority of the Marquis' Mansion, and was even accepted by Wang Shaoqing!

This shocking piece of news is enough for the people to chew on for a month!

Wang Jinnian nodded slightly. He wanted to see what else this girl could do. Could she have evidence of a secret meeting? Even if this was true, they would not admit it publicly.

"Well, I will send someone to invite the second son of the Marquis' Mansion and the concubine of the Jiang family over now." After saying that, Wang Jinnian gave orders to several guards.

"No need!" The Marquis's wife had a gloomy face and came here surrounded by many maids.

Wang Jinnian bowed symbolically and said, "I wonder what Madam Hou thinks of this case?"

Good idea? What good idea can I have? Madam Hou forced a smile and said, "My son was not feeling well today and has been sent back to the city. As for the second daughter of Governor Jiang, she fainted after hearing rumors about her."

Bai Zhaozhao understood. It seemed that the drama targeting her was designed by the Marquis's wife. That's right. Madam Jiang originally wanted her legitimate daughter to get rid of the scumbag. She was so happy that she didn't have time to do anything to restore the reputation of the Marquis's mansion.

However, Mrs. Jiang probably didn't expect Bai Zhaozhao to be so strong in fighting. He directly nailed the second young lady to the pillar of shame, and the reputation of the Jiang family would be damaged to some extent.

Madam Hou looked at Bai Zhaozhao with hatred in her eyes: "I think this girl should stop being unreasonable. Although you failed to plot against my son, you still lost your reputation. If you continue to talk nonsense, you will only hurt yourself.

How about this, I can arrange for you to be my son's concubine, and I will send someone to Hexi Village to pick up your parents and relatives. After the journey, you will be my son's legitimate concubine. In addition, as long as you promise not to associate with others at will, I can prepare a hundred acres of land for you as a betrothal gift. How do you do it?"

Common people: One hundred acres of land! What a big deal!

It has to be said that the Marquis' wife knows how to grasp people's hearts. She directly defined Bai Zhaozhao as a crazy woman who caused trouble after failing to seduce a nobleman.

After all, she didn't want to give up the Jiang family's legitimate daughter at all. As long as she could get rid of the illegitimate daughter, it wouldn't matter if his son had more concubines. But she didn't expect to meet Bai Zhaozhao, who was such an iron wall.

If the village girl were allowed to continue talking, she would probably end up making things worse. Not only would she have to marry the concubine's daughter, but she would also offend the Jiang family. After all, the people in the Jiang family also knew that she had framed Bai Zhaozhao.

Bai Zhaozhao felt that the Marquis's wife was very skillful in her words. While inciting the people's emotions about the land, she threatened her that she would bring her parents here. If she refused to give in, she would end up hurting herself.

What a master of languages!

Bai Zhaozhao rolled his eyes and said to Wang Jinnian, "Master Wang, I am willing to be beheaded. Why don't you quickly ask for help? Otherwise, how can I prove my innocence?"

"You!" Madam Hou took a deep breath and said, "Wang Shaoqing, this is under the jurisdiction of Qinghe County. Even if you want to solve the case, you should report it to Prefect Feng, right?"

Wang Jin laughed, "Madam Hou is right. Generally speaking, the case in Qinghe Prefecture should be heard by Prefect Feng. But according to the law, the Dali Temple can handle the case against nobles above the third rank, so she did not file a lawsuit beyond her authority. I also accepted the complaint from this girl."

"Well then!" Madam Hou said calmly, "I have nothing to say if Wang Shaoqing accepts the accusation, but at the same time I have sent someone to deliver the complaint to Prefect Feng, and my mansion will also sue this girl for defamation and libel!

Should Wang Shaoqing move to the yamen to hear the case together with Lord Feng? Otherwise, according to the law, the nobleman's complaint should be heard first."

Bai Zhaozhao was stunned: That’s too hasty, were there such privileges in ancient times?

Sure enough, Wang Jinnian's expression changed: "Yes, if the two sides cannot reconcile and sue each other, we should accept your request first."

"Very good, young lady, if you are willing to reconcile, what I just said still counts. As long as you stop biting others at will, I will promise you a lifetime of wealth and honor. How do you think?"

A lifetime of wealth? Is this the girl's purpose? The people were confused. Why did they get more confused the more they ate? But many people felt that the truth was not important at this time. What was important was that Bai Zhaozhao could get rid of her identity as a village girl by just nodding her head!

Bai Zhaozhao understood in his heart that Lord Wang probably felt that the situation was not favorable to me, so he said the word reconciliation.

Indeed, no matter whether Prefect Feng would favor the Hou Mansion or not, as long as everyone dispersed today and did not continue to stalemate in public, the Hou Mansion would have time to find a way to make this matter work.

"Reconcile? If the Marquis's wife was slandered, could she be so magnanimous as to reconcile? I am ashamed of myself. I will not reconcile!"
