She gave birth to three daughters in a row, and was kicked out by her mother-in-law who favored boys

In the government office.

Shen Lin, the master of the Shen family, sat on a chair in the hall, looking intimidating without even getting angry.

Shen Lang, the second master of the Shen family, sat on a chair in the hall, looking as cold as ice.

Shen Chenan, the young master of the Shen family, stood in front of his father.

It would be more accurate to say that he was tied up by Shen Lang rather than standing in front of Shen Lang.

Gu Qingqing watched Shen Chenan's big black eyes darting around, and he tried several times to break free from his father's grip, but to no avail.

Seeing that Shen Chenan had no fear of the yamen, Gu Qingqing even found it quite amusing.

When Gu Qingqing met the Shen family on the street, she immediately told them in great detail what had happened from the time she met Shen Chenan last night to today.

At the same time, he also apologized for taking Shen Chenan away without repeated confirmation.

"Madam Wen, don't be polite. If you hadn't helped him, he might have been kidnapped by someone with ulterior motives. It's certainly not your fault," Shen Lang said.

Shen Lang asked, "Why did you do that last night?"

Gu Qingqing took the opportunity to recount what happened yesterday when they were watching the lanterns.

"Are you willing to go to court with us to testify? As for the rest, I will help you solve it together."

Listen, it’s testimony!

I'm not here to be the defendant.

So, Gu Qingqing followed all the way as a witness.

Pi Guangyi felt his legs weak even when kneeling, and looked at Zhao Zhuo for help, "Sister, brother-in-law..."

slap~

"Don't talk nonsense in class!"

"Ah! No, Lord Zhao, I really didn't hit that kid. He kicked me first, so I just tried to scare him. And it was this bitch who hit me first. Look, my body is all bruised from the beating."

As Pi Guangyi spoke, he began to pull at his shirt.

Zhao Zhuo slammed the gavel again, "How can you behave like this in public!"

Witness Gu Qingqing took the opportunity to speak, "Sir, he lied. He first said bad things to me, and Chen An just said, 'Don't curse.' Then he hit Chen An and called him a little bastard, and then used dirty words, which made me too embarrassed to say it out loud."

Gu Qingqing paused here and continued, "I used a stick to stop him, but he was impatient and used his hand to hit the stick. When we had the chance to leave, he threatened us and said he would give us a good beating if he caught us. If you don't believe me, you can ask this patrol officer."

The patrolman who was called naturally nodded, confirming that this was what he saw.

"In this open and aboveboard world, you little brats are bullying women and children on the streets and creating trouble for no reason. What else do you have to say?" Zhao Zhuo asked.

Gu Qingqing could see that the Shen family was a wealthy family and did not take this government office seriously at all. The reason why the head of the Shen family came out in person was naturally for their precious baby.

This happened in the hall, but outside the door there were a few men fighting on the battlefield, staring at them with eager eyes.

As for Zhao Zhuo, he was just an official in the town, not a real county magistrate.

After he came to the place, he took the initiative to build good relationships with these gentry. Little did he know that today everything would be ruined by this idiot.

Why target the Shen family when there are so many other families to target?

Shen Lin’s grandfather was once an official in the capital. Later, because their parents had an accident, their grandfather retired with them and their two brothers and lived in the old house.

Shen Lin inherited the family business, and Shen Lang went to the border as a young man dressed in fine clothes and riding a horse. He is now the Border Protector [1].

The other branches of the Shen family are still staying in the capital to take care of the shops there.

With such a family background, Zhao Zhuo could not afford to offend at all.

Pi Guangyi was so angry that he turned his head and looked at Gu Qingqing fiercely while kneeling, "If you hadn't hit me yesterday and caused me to lose the money, why would I attack you today?"

"You said I hit you? Why did I hit you? Do you dare to say it in front of the official?" Gu Qingqing questioned him directly.

Pi Guangyi naturally didn't dare to tell the truth at this time, and snorted coldly, "Even if the matter of beating me is even, the silver was lost by you, so give it back to me."

Gu Qingqing bowed to Zhao Zhuofu and told him what happened last night in public, being completely aboveboard. "If you don't believe me, you can find the stall owner at that location. He can testify for me."

Gu Qingqing finished speaking and looked at Pi Guangyi, "As for the silver he mentioned, I don't know when or what happened. I kicked him and saw him getting up to chase us. I was worried that he would hurt my child, so I threw out hundreds of copper coins to try to stop him from chasing us. If his silver was picked up by other tourists at this time, I would not know what would happen. You still have the nerve to ask me for the silver? I have already let you go by not suing you and asking you to pay me back."

Just as Zhao Zhuo raised the gavel in his hand, Shen Lin spoke slowly, his words were not fast but his meaning was clear, "Master Zhao, it is our Shen family that is suing this man now. My son is timid to begin with, and now he is frightened by him. If something bad happens to him..."

Is Shen Chenan timid?

Gu Qingqing expressed her doubts about this!

Are you brave enough to run away from home? And dare to go home with a stranger like her?

The result was that as soon as she had this thought, Shen Chenan over there suddenly seemed to be frightened. He was originally a little rascal who was kept by Shen Lang, but now he suddenly turned into a trembling little lamb.

She looked at Shen Lang with fear and timidity, "Dad, am I going to be captured by the bad guy and beaten by him? I don't want to be captured, I don't want to be beaten! He is a bad guy, and he even snatched the vegetables from my basket. Woo woo woo~"

After saying that, she threw herself into Shen Lang's arms with a look of extreme fear.

Gu Qingqing was stunned. How could such a young child act?

Zhao Zhuo stabbed Pi Guangyi so hard that he shrank his neck repeatedly.

With the Shen family as the plaintiff, let alone Pi Guangyi wanting to sue Gu Qingqing, let alone whether he can survive the twenty beatings under the watchful eyes of those people at the door who have been fighting on the battlefield for years.

......

After coming out of the yamen, Gu Qingqing felt relaxed.

She first smiled at Manager Shen who had taken care of her business, and then said goodbye to the Shen family.

At this moment, Shen Chenan no longer looked scared as he had in the yamen.

Happy like a bird flying free.

He ran to Gu Qingqing, took her hand and said, "Aunt, please come home with me. I told you I would bring some cakes for Dahua and Erhua. I even gave Erhua a bump on her head yesterday."

Gu Qingqing smiled and squatted down to look Shen Chenan in the eye, and said, "No, thank you for your kindness. Go back, and don't sneak out again in the future."

"Chen An seems to like your house very much." Shen Lang, who rarely speaks, spoke.

"Maybe the woman has two children of similar age at home, and they can play together."

"Dad, my aunt's house is so much fun. Not only are there mountains and bamboo shoots to eat, there are also wild vegetables. I originally brought some for you and uncle. But we met some bad guys on the way and got lost." Shen Chenan said a little unhappily.

"It's getting late today, so we won't keep you any longer. The mansion has arranged a carriage to take you home, so that your family won't worry if they see you not coming back for a long time." Shen Lin said at this time.

Gu Qingqing also wanted to make friends with natives like them, so she agreed with a smile.

Butler Shen came forward with a smile and said to Shen Chenan, "Young Master, Madam has already told us to prepare cakes for Madam Wen in the car."
