Locked: God is the matchmaker, neither you nor I can escape

Jingzhao Mansion.

Qu Tianzheng was sitting in the lobby, looking at the people who were standing or kneeling in front of him.

Those standing were Qi Sheng and Meng; those kneeling were Aunt Qi, Da Hu, Hua Xizi, and Hua Beijiu.

Logically speaking, as a woman without a title, Meng was required to pay her respects when meeting an official, but she had always relied on the influence of her mother's family. Apart from the fact that she had the good fortune to attend palace banquets when she was young and kneel before the nobles in the palace, how could she kneel before anyone else?

Qu Tian didn't want to fall out with the Qi and Meng families, so he turned a blind eye and didn't hold on to the issue.

Qu Tian slammed the gavel: "Who is here? What do you want to report?"

Aunt Qi was brought to the hall for trial for the first time. She was very nervous. Suddenly, she heard a soft cough beside her ear. She came to her senses and couldn't help but admire Mrs. Daye.

She had anticipated this scene, so she specially invited her elder brother, the current magistrate of Guyang County, to Yanyeju, and specially arranged a room similar to a lobby for her to practice with.

Thinking of the previous training, Aunt Qi's restless heart gradually calmed down. She set her face straight, spoke clearly, and stated the facts with evidence.

"The woman is Qi Zhao, a villager from Dashan Village, Guyang County. She married Qi Gousheng from Dashan Village fifteen years ago. The wedding ceremony was held according to the rules and they became husband and wife in the presence of both parents and relatives and friends.

According to the laws of that time, the common woman was Qi Gousheng's legally married wife, his first wife.

But we did not go to the government to get a marriage contract. Under current laws, the marriage between a commoner woman and Qi Gousheng is not protected by law.

But we have a reason. Fifteen years ago, Qi Gousheng was called up to join the army. A few years later, news came that he had died in battle. If he had not sent back the wrong information, I would have obeyed the will of the emperor and completed the marriage contract with Qi Gousheng in time. "

Aunt Qi lowered her head, took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes. When she spoke again, her voice was slightly choked: "But, not long ago, I learned from my neighbors that they accidentally saw the commoner woman's man Qi Gousheng in the capital, who is now renamed General Qi Sheng. I...

I originally thought that the neighbors had made a mistake, but I couldn't help but have a hope that they had not recognized the wrong person and had brought the child to the capital city specifically.

It turned out that he had married someone else...

Woo... His new wife said that Qi Gousheng and I did not obtain a marriage contract from the government, and that she is Qi Gousheng's legal wife...

grown ups!

Please help me, I am obviously Qi Gousheng’s first wife!

I sent his parents away on his behalf and raised his son to be a successful person. I am clearly the legitimate wife of the Qi family!"

Qu Tian felt a headache after learning the whole story. This was a historical problem left over after the revision of the law. He had handled many similar cases before. Later, the emperor issued an order that those who had been married before needed to reissue the marriage contract, and those who did not would be dealt with according to the law.

But as Qi Zhao said, it was not her fault, and the government would not allow her to get married to a dead person.

If this is the case, then if it is not the problem of the Qi and Zhao families, then it is someone else's problem.

Qu Tian raised his eyes to look at Qi Sheng who was looking down, wondering what he was thinking: "Deputy General Qi, is what Qi Zhao said true?"

Ha! What the hell, calling yourself a general?

Qi Sheng still lowered his head: "I was injured in a battle and lost all my memories. Today is the first time I have seen them. I don't know the reason. I hope you can check it out."
