Quickly wear a child: a beautiful woman with many children brings happiness

The young county magistrate sat upright in the hall and glanced coldly at the Qi clan members kneeling on the ground.

"According to the laws of this dynasty, if a couple dies and has an adopted son, it cannot be said that the family is extinct. Qi Sheng is the adopted son of Qi Yun and his wife. After Qi Yun and his wife die, he has the right to inherit the property, and the clan members cannot infringe on it."

People die for money. Although the Qi clan members were afraid and their legs were weak as they knelt on the ground, they did not retreat. It was obvious that they came prepared.

Qi Hai said, "Your Excellency is wise. Qi Sheng is not Qi Yun's biological son, and he has long been expelled from our clan. Qi Yun and his wife are members of our Qi clan, and they are my eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law. His father is still alive, and he has brothers, nephews, and children. There is absolutely no reason for outsiders to take advantage of him. Even if we uncles don't take any, my father, Qi Yun's father, must have a share."

It turns out that Qi Sheng and Qi Han are cousins.

Qi Hai is the youngest son of Master Qi, and Qi Yun is the eldest son. Because he has been married for many years but unable to have children and he is unwilling to divorce his wife and remarry, he has never been liked by Master Qi. Especially after he brought Qi Sheng back, his dissatisfaction reached its peak and he resolutely drove his eldest son and his family out of the house.

The frail and old Master Qi knelt on the ground trembling, looking extremely pitiful. He recounted the difficulties of taking care of Qi Yun when he was a child. He also said that Qi Yun was stubborn and refused to listen to advice and brought back Qi Sheng, the evil star, which led to his early death.

"Including his house in the village and the property he bought in the county, they were all purchased with the property left by Qi Yun and his wife, and they must be returned to our Qi family."

"Yes, Qi Yun was the most filial son when he was alive. It is impossible for him to let his adopted son and his family enjoy the best food and drink, while his old father has to eat only coarse food."

"Second Master, you are so sad. The winter clothes you are wearing now are the ones you bought three years ago. They are no longer warm. If we couldn't bear it, we wouldn't want to break up with Qi Sheng and take the matter to court. It would be embarrassing for both sides."

"They say family disgrace should not be made public. We really have no other choice."

Master Qi's two wives gave birth to four sons, and the four sons gave birth to grandsons. His brothers Master Qi Daye and Master Qi Si also brought their sons here, except for Master Qi San and his family who had a good relationship with Qi Sheng. They all faced the outside world in unison, and there was a large group of people, talking to each other. The county government office suddenly became as noisy as a vegetable market.

County Magistrate: "Silence, do Mr. and Mrs. Qi Sheng have anything to say?"

Even though she knew that the Qi clan members were not good people, Yun Yuan was still shocked by their shamelessness. When Qi Sheng was about to speak, Yun Yuan pulled his sleeve and whispered, "I'll do it."

Qi Sheng was slightly startled: "Okay."

Now that he is about to take the imperial examination, it is not easy for him to confront his clansmen openly, especially the lineage of Master Qi. It is a fact that he was adopted by the Qi family. Otherwise, no matter what the result is, he will be known as a ruthless person who repays kindness with enmity. It is better for him to remain silent and say nothing, and act like a weak person. Then the onlookers will feel sorry for him.

"May I ask the tribe leader when did my husband exterminate the tribe?"

The Qi clan leader obviously didn't take Yun Yuan seriously. He didn't even raise his eyelids, pretending not to hear anything.

Yun Yuan frowned.

The county magistrate looked at it casually and was slightly surprised.

I saw a beautiful woman with slender hands and feet but an exceptionally big belly, who was kneeling on the ground. Her eyes were exceptionally beautiful, and it seemed that she couldn't wait for the patriarch's answer, so she was looking at him.

He was a brave man, he nodded slightly and said: "This lady is pregnant, I allow you to stand up and speak."

"Thank you, sir."

Yun Yuan smiled gratefully, helped Qi Sheng up, and asked again, "May I ask when did my husband eliminate the tribe?"

This time the county magistrate slammed the gavel: "The Qi clan leader replied."

The clan leader was shocked and didn't understand why the county magistrate helped the Yun family. He said in panic, "Three days ago, I opened the ancestral hall and removed the name in person according to the wishes of the majority of clan members."

Three days ago? Yun Yuan smiled.

"According to the laws of this dynasty, if a couple dies and has an adopted son, the adopted son can inherit the estate. Will the clan leader recognize him or not?"

Patriarch: "Yes, but..."

"So my husband should get the inheritance from his adoptive parents." Yun Yuan said.

Qi Hai said excitedly: "Qi Sheng has been expelled from the clan, forget it!"

Yun Yuan looked righteous: "The extermination of the clan was something that happened later. According to the time extension, no matter what is the case now, this part of the property belongs to my husband, unless the extermination of the clan happened before my parents-in-law passed away, but obviously not."

The clan leader said, "Second Master Qi is Qi Yun's father. Raising a son is not easy. He deserves Qi Yun's property."

Yun Yuan said: "As a parent, Master Qi should have received a portion of the property after my parents-in-law passed away. I have nothing to say about this, but he drove my husband out of the house after my parents-in-law passed away, gave my parents-in-law's land to my husband's fourth uncle Qi Hai, gave the house to my third uncle's two cousins ​​to marry, and gave some money to my second uncle's family to build two new houses.

My husband was soft-hearted and out of gratitude to my parents-in-law, he silently endured everything and lived in the mountains with only a few rags. It was the kind-hearted Qi Sanye and his family who couldn't stand it and came to build a wooden house for my husband to live in. Everyone in the village knew about this."

"Sir, I can prove that Yun Yuan did not lie." A person outside the hall said loudly.

It was Yunlan. He rushed over after receiving the news. Not only him, but the dean also came, for he was afraid that something had happened to his students.

Qi Hai said: "Sir, Yun Lan is Yun's biological brother, his words cannot be used as evidence."

The county magistrate asked him, "Is what he said true?"

Qi Hai stopped talking, and neither did the people who were with him. Everyone saw that there was something they didn't understand.

Most of the people who came today were the beneficiaries of the incident that year. It is not a good reputation to have a whole family wiped out, especially since Qi Yun has an adopted son.

Listening to the discussions outside, they felt resentful and blamed Qi Hai, saying that there is strength in numbers and that everything will be foolproof. They thought Qi Sheng was a softie and easy to talk to. Now that the case was brought to court, they had lost all their dignity and face.

The county magistrate slammed the gavel and asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"

"Sir!" Qi Hai was dissatisfied. "Qi Sheng has been bedridden for many years. He even dropped out of school two years ago due to health reasons. Now he is not only well but also bought a yard. He must have spent a lot of money to hire a famous doctor. I suspect he hid the money of Qi Yun and his wife. Now my father is in poverty in his old age. He must take out some money to support my father in his old age."

Yun Yuan sneered, her beautiful eyes full of mockery.

"Isn't it your brothers' fault that your father is poor? We have been expelled from the clan, and we have never spent a penny from your father from beginning to end. But your family, in order to support your youngest son's education, Master Qi split every penny in half, fearing that the subsidy was not enough. It is said that raising a son is a way to provide for old age. Shouldn't you reflect on yourselves?"

Qi Hai was speechless.

"You are so sharp-tongued!" The clan leader was furious. "To criticize your elders in public is unfilial. Your attitude is so bad. This is the level of your upbringing."

Yun Yuan was surprised: "Didn't we expel our clan? What kind of elders are you?"

A smile flashed in the county magistrate's eyes. This woman was brave and would not suffer any loss. She was not panicked even when she entered the hall. Her behavior was neither humble nor arrogant. She spoke clearly and had a calm demeanor. It was hard to imagine that she was brought up in a remote village.
