A small peasant girl's home is bare, but I have a spiritual space

"In the final analysis, it was Yuhua's power that overwhelmed Magistrate Hu, which allowed fairness to be achieved and justice to be served."

"What if the perpetrator today is someone like Yuhua? Wouldn't we never be able to turn things around?"

"Second brother, what are you talking about? Brother Yuhua is not that kind of person," Lin Yiran said angrily, stamping his feet.

"Yuhua, I just said this out of emotion. Please don't mind. Thank you for saving me from the dire straits today. For such a kindness, I, Lin Feng, will go through fire and water and repay you with my whole heart."

Brother Lin spoke too quickly and blurted out what was in his mind. This could easily lead to misunderstanding, so he hurriedly explained to Liu Yu.

Liu Yu was also stunned. He stared blankly at Second Brother Lin. After a while, a smile slowly appeared on his face and he bowed to Second Brother Lin.

Brother Lin was stunned for a moment, and he quickly reached out to support Liu Yu: "Yuhua, what are you doing?"

Liu Yu straightened up and looked at Brother Lin's face seriously: "Mr. Lin is really talented. Thank you for enlightening me. As for human affairs, fairness has not existed since the beginning of the world. It is people who execute the judgments. People are born with selfishness, so it is impossible to achieve absolute fairness and justice."

"Therefore, those in power must restrain themselves and take it as their responsibility to seek the well-being of the people of the world."

"From today on, Master Lin is my husband."

Brother Lin chuckled: "I just speak out my feelings. How can I be qualified to be Mr. Liu's teacher? I am not even a scholar now."

Liu Yu smiled and said, "Then I wish Young Master Lin good luck in passing the imperial examination. With Young Master Lin's talent, he will surely be highly valued by the court once he passes the imperial examination. I hope that Young Master Lin will not be blinded by fame and fortune, and must keep his original intention."

"That's for sure." Brother Lin's eyes revealed great determination.

Seeing him like this, Liu Yu's eyes became more admiring.

Through the remarks made by Liu Yu and Lin's second brother, Lin Yiran had some vague guesses about Liu Yu's identity.

Just as she was thinking seriously, Magistrate Hu came over.

He walked to Liu Yu and stopped, saying in a flattering manner: "Master Liu, are you satisfied with this judgment?"

Liu Yu sneered: "Why should I be satisfied or dissatisfied? The key is whether the victim is satisfied or not."

As he said this, he looked up at Brother Lin and said, "This is the victim. You have to ask him."

The smile on Magistrate Hu's face froze for a moment. He reacted and looked at Brother Lin and asked, "Sir, are you satisfied with my judgment?"

When Second Brother Lin looked at his flattering face, his heart was suddenly filled with disgust. He flicked his sleeves, turned his face away without saying a word.

"This..." County Magistrate Hu looked embarrassed.

Liu Yu smiled and said, "Okay, I know you are acting for me. It's hard for you to send your own nephew to the execution ground."

"I can promise you that as long as you are honest in your official duties and benefit the people in the future, I will no longer pursue your previous responsibilities."

"Yes, yes, I will do as you say." County Magistrate Hu agreed, wiping the sweat from his face.

"By the way, let me introduce you to it,"

Liu Yu pointed at Lin Yiran who was standing aside and said, "This is Miss Lin Yiran, the most powerful female businessman in your county. Make sure you recognize her. I don't want to hear about you making things difficult for her in the future."

Magistrate Hu looked at Lin Yiran and was immediately shocked. "It turns out that this person is not a noble official in the palace, but a local."

"Given the Fourth Prince's personality, he actually admires such a young girl so much. What is so special about this little girl?"

Although he had not figured out Lin Yiran's origins and background yet, he was an excellent observer. Just because she was the one favored by the Fourth Prince, he had to curry favor with her.

He quickly gave Lin Yiran a flattering assurance, "Don't worry, young lady. This county has always been open-minded. In this world, women's status is not as high as men's, and it is even more difficult for women to do business. Miss Lin can abandon her daughter's reserve and come out for her family. This alone makes this county admire her with all her heart."

"As long as Miss Lin does not violate the law or do anything that harms the world, this county will open its doors and fully support her."

"Well," Liu Yu nodded, "I hope you will do what you say. If I find out that you are pretending to obey but actually disobeying your words, you know the consequences..." His words were full of threats.

The cold sweat that had just fallen on County Magistrate Hu's forehead began to break out again involuntarily. The aura of this Fourth Prince was too terrifying. He quickly showed a flattering smile, "I understand."

Seeing that Hu Yao and others had been taken to prison, the people watching around gradually dispersed.

Liu Yu yawned, "Sister Ran'er, I've been out for quite some time, and my parents at home must be worried about me. Now that today's matter is over, I should go home and visit them. Thank you very much for your and your family's hospitality during this time.

If there is something you can’t solve yourself, go find Lao Cheng and he will help you.”

"Old Cheng, let's go home,"

"Okay, sir," Shopkeeper Cheng responded respectfully.

"Why are you leaving so soon?" Hearing that he was leaving, Lin Yiran actually felt a little reluctant in her heart, and Second Brother Lin also had a look of anxiety on his face.

Liu Yu bowed to the two of them and said, "I've been away for a long time, and I'm afraid my parents at home will miss me, so I'm going back to visit them first to fulfill my filial duty. We will meet again in the future, so don't worry."

Before Lin Yiran could say anything else, Liu Yu boarded the carriage and bowed to the two of them, "We will meet again in the future."

After saying that, he lifted the curtain and got into the carriage.

Shopkeeper Cheng smiled and looked at the two siblings who looked reluctant to leave. "Don't worry, Ran. We might come again in a few days. After all, our tea business has not been completely settled yet."

After saying that, he turned around and jumped onto the carriage.

The driver smiled at the two of them, raised his whip and hit the horse's butt.

The carriage went farther and farther away and finally disappeared at the end of the street.

Magistrate Hu watched Liu Yu and Shopkeeper Cheng leave, wiped the cold sweat from his face, and felt relieved.

"He finally left. It seems that he did not find any evidence of his assassination and preparation of weapons."

Then, he looked at Lin Yiran and his sister, and said with a friendly smile, "It is because I did not rule strictly that you suffered. I assure you that except for the principal offender Hu Yao, who will be executed, the other accomplices will also be dealt with impartially. Please rest assured."

"I hope Lord Hu will do what he says."

Lin Yiran didn't want to talk to him any more. After leaving a few cold words, she turned around and took Lin Erge away.

Looking at the two people's backs as they walked away, County Magistrate Hu frowned slightly: "What is so special about these two siblings that the Fourth Prince is so interested in them?"

Then he shook his head again: "No matter what, I can't offend these two brothers and sisters again."

Lin Yiran and Lin Erge hired a horse carriage, and the two of them got in the carriage and drove towards Daxi Village.

By the time they got home, it was already getting dark.

After jumping off the carriage and paying the driver the fare, the two pushed the door and entered the yard.

As soon as they entered the yard, they were stunned.

The yard was filled with people kneeling densely, all of them dressed gorgeously, and they were obviously wealthy.

Lin's father and mother were so anxious that they were sweating and trying to persuade them earnestly. As soon as they pulled one person up, another one knelt down over there.

The yard was filled with begging and crying. The scene was quite creepy!

Lin Yiran was still full of doubts and asked, "Mom and Dad, what's going on? What are these people doing?"

When Lin's father and mother saw Lin Yiran and Lin's second brother, they immediately felt like they had found a life-saving straw and hurriedly said, "Quick, pull these people up. I don't know what happened, but they knelt down as soon as they came in and said they wanted to plead for their children. No matter how hard we tried, we couldn't pull them up."

When everyone saw Lin Yiran coming back, they were like drowning people grabbing a lifebuoy. They instantly exploded and turned around and knelt in Lin Yiran's direction.

He cried and begged: "Miss Lin, we know we were wrong. My little beast had no eyes and followed that damned Hu Yao to offend you. Hu Yao deserved to die, but my little beast did not deserve to die!"

"I beg Miss Lin to forgive my fault and spare his life."

Someone took the lead, and others followed suit, one after another begging her for help.

Lin Yiran understood instantly that these were the family members of Hu Yao's lackeys who came to plead for them.

She sneered in her heart: "Now you know how to beg for mercy, but where were you when you bullied others? If you parents had been more disciplined, things wouldn't have gotten to this point."

Her face instantly turned cold, and she waved her hand and said, "They did it, and the verdict was made by Magistrate Hu. You should go and ask Magistrate Hu for help, not me. I don't have the ability to save your son."

As soon as she said this, the crowd started to panic.

Someone spoke up quickly: "We went to see Magistrate Hu. Magistrate Hu said that the law of the country is difficult to violate. Unless the victim is willing to withdraw the lawsuit, there may be some room for maneuver, so we came to you."

Lin Yiran thought to himself, "This Magistrate Hu is really cunning. He acted so selfless in court. Except for the main culprit Hu Yao who was sentenced to death, the rest of the playboys did not confess on the spot. It seems that they are waiting here."

Seeing Lin Yiran standing there without saying anything, the group of people reacted instantly.

He hurriedly said: "Don't make it difficult for Miss Lin, we know the rules."

As he spoke, he took out a golden Ruyi from his bosom.

The others followed suit and started taking things out of their pockets. The things they took out were varied and eye-opening for Lin Yiran.
