It's not scary to travel through a book, you can change your fate as a cannon fodder by yoursel

Even in modern times, many victims choose not to report the crime due to various concerns, not to mention in ancient times when chastity was as important as life.

Weng Xiaoxiao looked at Liu Yuan's wife in the distance. Aunt Liu understood, wiped her tears, and immediately went to Xiao Hua's mother to take care of her.

Facing a heartbroken mother, Weng Xiaoxiao could not be so self-righteous as to ignore the feelings of the person involved. She had no right to make a decision on her own. She took Li the captain back to the yard and asked, "Brother Li, how should we deal with this situation?"

Captain Li sighed and whispered, "Brother, if the victim is not firm, he will not be able to endure the trial. In court, he will definitely ask many details before and after the incident. If the man says that the woman was seducing or was submissive, the girl will not be able to bear the stimulation and will not have the face to defend herself. In that case, it is very likely to be convicted of adultery, and both the man and the woman will be guilty. Unless the man pleads guilty in court, the fault is all on him. If so, it will be a capital crime. Will anyone admit it so readily? Anyway, I have been a yamen runner for so long, and I have never encountered such a case. It's not that such cases have never happened, but the victims have chosen to endure it."

In this case, there were no witnesses or witnesses, and the case was decided entirely by the words of two people. The interrogation would certainly be very detailed. How could Xiaohua endure such a trial in public? It was good that the county magistrate could handle it impartially, but he certainly had no intention of protecting the woman, let alone any measures to protect the victim.

Many realities are bloody. Weng Xiaoxiao feels uncomfortable, but she is not a moralist. She insists on punishing the suspect in order to avenge the victim.

But it’s useless to think that others are good. The key lies in the person’s own choice.

"Brother Li, please go and investigate the scene first. I will investigate the victims and let them make the decision themselves."

If the people don't promote it, the officials won't investigate it.

"Brother, that's right." Captain Li patted Weng Xiaoxiao on the shoulder. Liu Yuan hurriedly followed and led the way.

......

"Aunt Liu, please help Xiao Hua Niang to sit inside. We can discuss anything."

When Xiaohua Niang saw the official leave, she stopped crying and stood up.

"Boss, if Xiaohua hadn't tried to commit suicide and alarmed the people in the farm, we wouldn't dare to make a fuss." Xiaohua's mother's eyes were red and swollen. I'm afraid she had been crying since the accident.

Weng Xiaoxiao nodded and waited for Xiaohua's mother to talk.

"Aunt Feng told us about reporting to the police and asked us about our plans. What else can we do? Even if we kill him, it can't make up for Xiaohua's pain. Xiaohua didn't say a word after being rescued, and didn't drink a drop of water. Can we ask the boss to go see her? Maybe she will listen to the boss's words."

"It's okay to talk for a few minutes. I'll go in a moment. What are you and uncle planning? The officials are here. We can't delay this matter. We must make a decision today."

"We want to punish the evildoers, but we are afraid to go to court." Xiaohua's mother said in a low voice with her head down.

Want a result without paying anything? There is no such thing as having the best of both worlds!

Weng Xiaoxiao had already done her best. She couldn't promise anything, so she turned around and said, "Aunt Liu, you go back to the workshop and take care of yourself. I'll go over there and take a look."

"Yes, I'll get busy right away."

After walking two steps, he turned back and said to Xiao Hua Niang, "Sister-in-law, the boss just returned to Yangzhou yesterday. He came to the farm without even entering the house. The boss has his own difficulties, so let's understand each other. The incident has already happened, so let's think more about how to deal with it."

Xiaohua Niang nodded.

When Weng Xiaoxiao came back, everyone felt more confident and did what they were supposed to do. No other villagers gathered outside and they went straight to Xiaohua's house.

......

"Why are you here? Where are the officials?" Feng Gu came out when she heard the noise.

As soon as she saw Xiaohua Niang beside Weng Xiaoxiao, she understood a lot. She understood Xiaohua Niang's thoughts, but she also didn't want Weng Xiaoxiao to take the lead in everything, so she felt a little unhappy.

"Auntie asked me to say a few words to Xiaohua, so let me say a few words."

There was nothing much to say at the moment. Feng Gu knew that the girl was kind-hearted and could not bear to refuse Xiao Hua Niang's request, so she hurriedly accompanied her inside.

"My daughter, the boss is here to see you."

Xiaohua was facing inwards and heard the voices, but didn't react for a long time.

Xiaohua's mother was in a dilemma. Just as she was about to ask Weng Xiaoxiao to leave, she heard Xiaohua burst into tears.

"Let's go out and wait for a while." How can we talk like this? Feng Gu pulled Weng Xiaoxiao and was about to leave.

"Boss, Boss, please wait a moment." Xiaohua struggled to get out of bed.

Fenggu rushed forward and supported Xiaohua, fearing that she would fall or struggle with Weng Xiaoxiao.

"I'm not leaving. You sit back and talk." Weng Xiaoxiao didn't move and still stood at the door.

Xiaohua Niang and Fenggu helped the man onto the bed.

"Auntie Feng, I want to talk to the boss alone, is that okay?" The girl looked at Gu Feng stubbornly.

Feng Gu couldn't make the decision, so she looked at Weng Xiaoxiao. Seeing Weng Xiaoxiao nodded, she took Xiaohua Niang out.

"Please say whatever you want to say. I'm listening." Weng Xiaoxiao said calmly.

Xiaohua lowered her head in inferiority, not daring to look at Weng Xiaoxiao. The person she wanted to see the most but was most afraid to see was him.

He opened his mouth for a long time before uttering, "Boss, will you embarrass me in court?"

Weng Xiaoxiao sighed, not wanting to speak frankly, but even more so not to lie. "Everything must be explained clearly. Convicting a person is a very rigorous matter. Without witnesses or physical evidence, and with only the two of you confronting each other, you will have to face any questioning and challenges. The pressure of the trial will be great, and only with a fearless spirit can you avenge yourself."

In the end, she couldn't bear it. "Xiaohua, I just said as the host, do you want to listen to your sister again?"

"Sister?" Xiaohua said woodenly.

"Yes, I am a girl, and an orphan at that."

Xiaohua was stunned for a long time before she reacted. She lifted the quilt and ran towards Weng Xiaoxiao barefoot. She circled around Weng Xiaoxiao several times and then acted like crazy, crying and laughing at the same time. She never expected that the person she was thinking about was actually a girl.

Girl, what a great girl!

After a while, Xiaohua finally calmed down and looked at Weng Xiaoxiao with admiration, "What do you mean, sister?"

The girl is very strong as her brain can still keep up with the situation.

"Ask yourself if you are willing to accept the result! If you are afraid of what others may say, then just bear the consequences, leave your hometown, and start over. If you are unwilling to accept the result, then fight. If you win, you will get your revenge, and if you lose, it won't be any worse."

"Since I failed to die, I naturally won't resign myself to this. It's even more impossible for me to marry him and suffer a lifetime of frustration." Xiaohua said gritting her teeth.

Weng Xiaoxiao nodded, "I will do my best to help, including asking the county magistrate to handle the matter impartially, and asking the yamen runners not to embarrass you. But I can't stand up for you, you have to face it yourself."

"Thank you, your help is enough." Xiaohua bowed.
