When County Magistrate Yao heard that Qiao Peiwen went to the Pleasant Goat Hotpot Restaurant to arrest people just because of a maid, he did not intend to investigate the matter further.

As for how to sentence Qiao Peiwen and Liu Yuyao, he still needs to think carefully.

So, he slammed the gavel and said, "First, lock Qiao Peiwen and Liu Yuyao up in jail. We will make a judgment tomorrow after we find the imperial envoy!"

When Madam Liu heard that Liu Yuyao was going to be imprisoned, she immediately lost her composure. She fell to her knees on the ground with a plop, kowtowed and said, "Your Excellency, this matter has nothing to do with Yuyao. She is a girl and should not be imprisoned in a prison!"

County Magistrate Yao's face darkened, and he frowned and said unhappily, "You all heard what they just said. You know whether Liu Yuyao was wronged or not. I will not bother with you because I think you are a parent. Don't keep making trouble!"

Landlord Liu quickly pulled Madam Liu up and bowed to Magistrate Yao, saying, "Sir, I was rude. Please forgive me."

"Humph!"

County Magistrate Yao snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and left.

Qiao Peiwen didn't react much and followed the two officers.

Shen Qingqian didn't know what happened in the yamen. She couldn't find Yingzi, so she had to tie up Mr. Qiao and take him back, waiting for Qiao Peiwen to come to her.

No matter how restless the night is, it will eventually pass, and dawn will cover all the darkness.

Shen Qingqian waited all night, but Qiao Peiwen didn't come to see her, which made her even more worried. She decided to take Mr. Qiao to the Qiao family again.

Mr. Qiao was a very successful man. He always stepped on others and others were in awe of him. But he didn't expect to be tied up by Shen Qingqian for a whole night. He felt humiliated and angry!

He thought that as long as he left here, he would kill the Shen sisters.

And there was Shen Qingping. When he was in their Qiao family, he was like a puppet and allowed him to manipulate him.

Now that he has left the Qiao family, he has become more powerful and dares to go against him!

Mr. Qiao was filled with anger. He thought that when he returned this time, he would skin Shen Qingping alive and throw him into the grave to be buried with Pei Xue!

Shen Qingqian ignored Mr. Qiao's murderous look and dragged him to the Qiao Mansion.

As soon as I walked out of the hot pot restaurant, I saw Yingzi coming back.

Yingzi got up early in the morning, said goodbye to Chen Shijun and the Su family, and hurried back.

At this moment, her face looked a little pale, and she was not as lively as before. It was obvious that she was not in a very good spirit.

"Yingzi, you're back!"

Shen Qingqian shouted in surprise.

"Girl, I'm sorry to have made you worried."

Yingzi also said with a smile.

When the others saw Yingzi come back, they all came over to ask about her well-being.

Wang Ke'er grabbed Yingzi's hand and said with tears in her eyes: "Yingzi, you are finally back. It's all because of us that you..."

"Okay, I'm fine now, right?"

Seeing her like this, Yingzi interrupted her and said.

"Okay, let's talk about it when we get back!" Shen Qingqian said.

Shen Qingping was relieved to see Yingzi return safely, and said, "You go in first, I'll go to the clinic and ask Doctor Sun to come and check Yingzi's injuries."

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Now that Yingzi is back, Mr. Qiao has become a hot potato.

Yesterday, because Qiao Peiwen first arrested Shen Qingping and then Yingzi, Shen Qingqian was furious and did not care about the consequences. She smashed the Qiao Mansion and arrested Mr. Qiao.

At this moment, Yingzi came back, and Shen Qingqian gradually calmed down. Only then did he realize that they might have gotten into big trouble.

The Qiao family was a tyrant in Ping'an Town, and could crush them in terms of both financial and human resources. It would be a bad idea to confront the Qiao family head-on at this time.

After much deliberation, Shen Qingqian decided to ask Master Zhou for help.

However, when Yingzi told her what happened last night, Shen Qingqian felt relieved.

Qiao Peiwen was so unlucky that she actually captured the imperial envoy. I'm afraid Master Qiao will have no time to trouble her.

So she let Mr. Qiao go.

The imperial envoy was found, and County Magistrate Yao finally felt relieved. He quickly made a judgment on Qiao Peiwen and Liu Yuyao.

Qiao Peiwen was lawless, he injured people in the street, and arrested the imperial envoy who came to provide disaster relief. His crimes are unforgivable.

However, considering that he was unaware of the imperial envoy's identity and was bewitched by others, Qiao Peiwen was sentenced to six months in prison and fined three thousand taels of silver.

As a woman, Liu Yuyao was not chaste and instigated others to arrest the imperial envoy. She was sentenced to one month's detention and a fine of three thousand taels.

The fine was proposed by Chen Shijun. Didn't the Qiao family have money? The Liu family was also a landlord, so they could just use the money to exchange for food to help the people.

Little did they know that for the Qiao family, three thousand taels was just a small amount of money. But it was different for the Liu landlord family. Three thousand taels was equivalent to emptying all their belongings!

But what else can be done? Liu Yuyao hurt others and herself, and also the entire Liu family.

Qiao Peiwen and Liu Yuyao were immediately thrown into prison.

Of course, how could Mr. Qiao be willing to let Qiao Peiwen stay in prison for half a year? He rushed to the capital the next day to seek help.

Mrs. Liu was also reluctant to let Liu Yuyao go to jail. For a girl, if she went to that kind of place, she would be completely ruined!

However, unlike the Qiao family who had a backer, the Liu family was just a landlord with only a few hundred acres of land to rely on. How could they know any dignitaries?

Mrs. Liu was in a panic all day long, and landlord Liu was also sighing. The Liu family was filled with gloom.

Only Liu Shuyao remained calm and composed. Liu Yuyao played with fire and got burned, so she couldn't blame anyone else. And her mother, she was the one who spoiled Liu Yuyao to be like this, and now she is like this, she is just reaping the fruits of her own labor!

Fortunately, it won’t be long before she leaves this home, and Liu Shuyao is looking forward to it.

That day, Madam Liu hesitated again and again, but still couldn't help but said to Landlord Liu: "Master, why don't you go find that guy in the capital and ask him to help our Yuyao?"

When he heard the word "Beijing", Landlord Liu's face turned cold. He looked at Madam Liu warily and said, "Madam, I will pretend that you never said that. Don't mention it again in the future!"

When Mrs. Liu saw Landlord Liu’s face change, she knew that she shouldn’t have such thoughts, but she really had no choice!

She bit her lip and said with a stiff face, "Master, I know you hate that man and don't want to have anything to do with him anymore. But, isn't there anything you can do now? Do you really have the heart to let Yuyao stay in jail for a month? She is your only daughter!"

"Shut up!"

Landlord Liu shouted, feeling annoyed.

Madam Liu simply knelt down in front of Landlord Liu and cried, "Master, I beg you. Yuyao can't go to jail. If she goes to jail, her life will be ruined!"
