Rebirth: The wedding night, my whole family was exiled, I raised 500,000 soldiers

The men wanted to persuade Wei Dongzhu not to be so angry and act on impulse, but they could not say it.

If their daughter had a husband like this, they couldn't even think about it. It was like a fire burning in their hearts. They were not likely to be any better than Wei Dongzhu.

There was a cry coming from the people around, it was the cry of a woman.

One or two, then countless more.

They are all women, and they have always had to swallow their anger in their husband's families. Those who have the support of their parents and brothers have to ask for a little more, while those who don't have their parents and brothers' support can only endure it.

They felt the same way as the Queen Regent said, and began to understand what she meant by opening a way out.

"The Regent is wise!" No one knew who shouted first.

Then there was a burst of responses.

Shen Lanxi ignored the gloomy face of the Minister of War and asked someone to get his nephew.

"Today, I will hold a public trial and give justice to the woman who died unjustly!"

The Shaoqing of Taichang Temple looked at his brother who was kneeling on the ground and crying, feeling ashamed, sad and helpless.

They had sat together and discussed this matter. If the matter of the niece was exposed, the marriage of the unmarried girls in the family would definitely be affected. He would also be troubled by the Minister of War. What they had agreed upon was a way to have the best of both worlds. It was all the fault of that damn maid for being nosy!

Shen Lanxi turned to look at Madam Song: "Do you want to punish the Tian family according to the law?"

Madam Song rested for a while and gathered some strength.

"Yes, I will pay them back double for what they did to me."

Shen Lanxi: "Where are your children?"

Madam Song snorted coldly: "Since they have disowned me and helped the Tian family to murder me, I don't want them anymore. They are not my children, they are wolves."

"Mother..." Madam Song's two children wanted to rush forward and beg for mercy, but were stopped by the Beijing guards with drawn swords.

"Mother, we were wrong. It's all grandmother and father's fault. It has nothing to do with us..." Mrs. Song's two children cried and begged for mercy.

Shen Lanxi: "He ordered his concubine to bring the child to the house in an attempt to starve Madam Song to death and steal her money. Tian Chunshan shall be executed immediately!"

"Tian Chunshan's mother knew about the incident but did not report it. She is an accomplice and shall also be executed immediately."

"Tian Chunshan's children and his concubines, as well as his concubines' children, were exiled to Dongchuan and became slaves to the armored men."

Tian Chunshan and his mother were so scared that they peed their pants. One kept struggling and the other kept roaring.

The Beijing guards gagged Tian Chunshan's mother and dragged her aside.

Madam Song spoke again.

"Lord Regent, I don't want their lives, okay?"

Shen Lanxi raised her eyebrows: "Do you want to plead for them?"

Madam Song said viciously, "Death is too easy for them. I was the one who brought them back from Dongchuan, and now I want them to go back to Dongchuan. There is so much land over there that no one is cultivating, I want them to work like slaves over there and contribute to our Great Zhou!"

Shen Lanxi: “…” That makes sense!

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you!"

Madam Song sneered viciously at Tian Chunshan's family. Tian Chunshan's family felt as if they had fallen into hell. It was over, they were really over.

The people from the Dali Temple took Tian Chunshan and his family away and would wait until Madam Song recovered before taking further action.

"You should go in and have some rest too!" Shen Lanxi cared about Madam Song, but she didn't expect her to be rejected directly.

"Thank you, Lord Regent. I'll wait a moment. I want to see how the family whose daughter was murdered will be judged!"

Shen Lanxi: "...Okay!"

Soon the nephew of the Minister of War and his family were brought in.

The younger brother of the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple angrily accused the family of crimes.

"My wife and I love our daughter very much, and we gave most of our family property as her dowry. But this family is so ambitious that they even had a fraudulent marriage. That evil villain concealed the fact that they already had several concubines and maids in the family, as well as several illegitimate sons and daughters. After my daughter got married, the evil villain's mother took advantage of her status as mother-in-law to snatch my daughter's dowry, and even registered the illegitimate son under my daughter's name." Every word she said felt like it was tearing out her heart, and she burst into tears.

Shen Lanxi: "It's so hateful and abominable!"

The sister of the Minister of War immediately retorted with a dark face and a hoarse voice: "Nonsense, he is talking nonsense. His daughter is a sickly girl. After she came into the family, she couldn't even serve my son, let alone her mother-in-law and sister-in-law. We pitied her and didn't want her to suffer the pain of giving birth, so we registered the child in her name. This is such a good thing, you and your daughter are simply ungrateful!"

The common people were indignant at such shameless words, and they were spoken by officials themselves, bah!

The Assistant Minister of War also had an unhappy expression on his face. It was his sister's family that was unreasonable in the first place, but he didn't expect them to dare to say it so openly. He was so angry that his face almost turned green.

Shen Lanxi: "So, you admit what he said, that your son already had concubines, concubines, and illegitimate sons and daughters before he got married?"

The sister of the Minister of War immediately put on a disgusted face and said perversely: "Which official family doesn't have three wives and four concubines? My son is young and full of vigor, and he has never been to a place of prostitution. What's wrong with him having a few concubines?"

How shameless! This person is too shameless.

Although most officials have three wives and four concubines, they would not have a concubine's child before the wife gets married to embarrass her. She has the word shameless written all over her face.

Shen Lanxi asked coldly: "Are you admitting to cheating in marriage?"

The sister of the Minister of War of course did not admit it: "The situation of our family is obvious, it is their family who did not find out clearly."

The Shaoqing of Taichang Temple was so angry that his face turned black. If the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War continued to indulge his sister's nonsense, he would rather give up his official position than accept such oppression.

"You're talking nonsense. It's obviously your family who deceived my daughter into marriage and murdered her. My wife just saw my daughter a few days ago and she was fine. How did she suddenly become ill?"

"After my daughter died, why didn't you inform us to see her for the last time? You just buried her hastily. It's obvious that you are guilty!"

When the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple heard his brother's tearful accusation, he felt a pang of pain in his heart.

It was all his fault that he wanted to curry favor with the Minister of War's family, so he found such a terrible marriage for his niece. He was sorry for his brother.

Shen Lanxi: "You said your daughter was murdered. Do you have any evidence?"

There is indeed no solid evidence against the family of the younger brother of the Minister of Taichang Temple.

Shen Lanxi: "Then open the coffin and do an autopsy!"

"No!" The sister of the Minister of War shouted to stop her.

Shen Lanxi looked at her sharply: "Historian, record this, one of the items that will be amended in the marriage law. A married woman's family has the right to question the cause of her death, and has the right to request an autopsy. After finding out the truth, they have the right to take the woman's body back home!"

The sister of the assistant minister of the Ministry of War immediately started to make a scene.

"No, she's already married into our family. She's my family's member in life and my family's ghost in death. No one of you can touch her!"
