The rural doctor is busy with farming, and her abstinent husband can't bear it

Chapter 160: A Clever Plan for Getting Rid of Insects

Today, I was defeated.

Her eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, as if they could penetrate people's hearts. She gently swept across Fang Qin's face that was twisted by anger, and a feeling of revenge surged in her heart.

"Sir, look at Fang Qin, her words and actions are so exaggerated. I am just taking care of trivial matters at home. I never thought that I would encounter such a disaster. I am afraid that she has brought this anger upon herself."

Su Yu's voice was gentle but with unquestionable firmness. Every word she said was like a carefully crafted work of art, which not only demonstrated her upbringing, but also timely counterattacked Fang Qin's accusations.

When Fang Qin heard this, her face turned from red to white, and then from white to blue. She almost jumped up to refute.

She clenched her hands into fists, her knuckles turning white from excessive force, and the anger burning in her chest was almost burning her sanity to ashes.

"You, you vicious woman! I have no grudge against you in the past or today, why do you want to harm me to this extent?"

Fang Qin's words were mixed with sobs, and she seemed particularly sad and angry. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to fall, as if she was trying her best to maintain her last bit of dignity.

Su Yuze remained unmoved. There was a cold light in her eyes, like a proud princess looking down at the dust under her feet.

"My Lord, please allow me to describe the scene of that day in detail. That morning, the sun broke through the clouds and the breeze was blowing gently. It was a peaceful and harmonious scene. Unexpectedly, Ms. Fang Qin suddenly broke into my yard and spoke fiercely, as if she had a deep hatred. In her impulse, she accidentally approached the small fire where I burned dead branches. The flames jumped up with the wind and unfortunately burned her clothes. Before I could remind you, the tragedy had already happened."

As soon as these words came out, the county magistrate's brows twisted into a knot involuntarily, and he was obviously troubled by this complicated interpersonal entanglement.

His eyes moved back and forth between the two of them, trying to find clues to the truth in their expressions.

After hearing this, Fang Qin's body trembled violently, as if Su Yu's words had aroused great anger and unwillingness.

She opened her mouth to refute again, but found that any words seemed pale and powerless at this moment.

The air around them seemed to freeze, leaving only the tense confrontation between the two people.

At this moment, everyone in the hall held their breath, waiting for the final judgment of right and wrong. The air was filled with an unusual tension and anticipation.

Just as the atmosphere in the courtroom was extremely tense and seemed to be on the verge of breaking out, a clear and firm voice came from outside the door, like a spring breeze blowing across a quiet lake, breaking the solemnity in the room: "I can testify."

Once these words were spoken, it was like a stone thrown into a crowd, causing ripples.

When everyone heard the sound, as if drawn by an invisible thread, they all turned their eyes to the old wooden door.

The door creaked slightly, and Jiang Qishan's figure slowly appeared. The sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled shadows on his body, adding a bit of solemnity.

He walked steadily, and every step was full of the youthful vigor and confidence of a young student. After entering the hall, he bowed deeply to the county magistrate who was sitting high up, and said in a clear voice: "Your Excellency, I am Jiang Qishan from Qingyun Academy. The defendant here, Su, is my beloved second sister-in-law; and the plaintiff, Li, is my third sister-in-law. Our two families live next to each other, separated only by a thin wall. I am fortunate to be the only witness to everything that happened last night."

Upon hearing this, the magistrate's expression of severity slightly faded, replaced by a hint of gentleness and expectation: "Oh? Then please describe in detail what you saw, and make sure every word is true."

When Fang Qin saw that the person coming was Jiang Qishan, her heart suddenly surged like spring tides and she was overjoyed.

In her opinion, with the addition of this "witness", it was almost a foregone conclusion that Su Yu would be brought down.

Although she did exaggerate in her description of the events, this minor flaw was not worth mentioning in her eyes.

On the contrary, Su Yu remained calm and indifferent as usual, but the turmoil in his heart was far from as calm as he appeared on the surface.

She secretly marveled at Jiang Qishan's attentiveness and consideration - he pointed out his identity as a student of the academy as soon as he opened his mouth, which not only won the favor of the county magistrate, but also cleverly avoided possible suspicion of favoritism.

Then, he casually stated his kinship with both parties, which was the strongest endorsement of his impartial position. Finally, he did not forget to mention the geographical advantage of the two families living next to each other, which invisibly enhanced the credibility of his testimony.

Su Yu was full of curiosity and anticipation about Jiang Qishan's next statement.

"Your Excellency, yesterday morning, I was busy chopping wood in the courtyard when I suddenly smelled a strong smell of fireworks coming from next door. In a hurry, I immediately climbed up the low wall that separated the two houses. On the top of the wall, I saw a surprising scene: Li's hair was disheveled, her face was full of anger, and she quickly approached my second sister-in-law Su, her mouth full of harsh insults. Perhaps because of her excitement, she didn't notice the fire next to her at all. The hot sparks inadvertently splashed on the ends of her hair, and in an instant, they ignited strands of black hair. However, instead of reflecting on herself, Li took her anger out on Su and even threatened to report to the authorities for a solution."

Having said this, Jiang Qishan's voice remained steady, but every word he said was of great weight and could not be questioned.

After hearing this, Fang Qin was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze for a moment, with anger and confusion almost overflowing from her chest.

"How dare this kid distort the facts and make up lies?"

She roared in her heart, and her face became even more furious. She almost gritted her teeth and asked, "Jiang Qishan, you are so bold, how dare you talk nonsense here!"

Jiang Qishan remained calm and stated the facts again: "Your Excellency, my second sister-in-law Su is well-known in the village for her wisdom and diligence. Recently, the rice fields in the village were infested with insects. It was she who came up with the ingenious idea of ​​using plant ash and chili water to kill the insects, so she started a fire in her yard. Unexpectedly, my third sister-in-law was disturbed by the fireworks and felt dissatisfied. She went to find my second sister-in-law to argue, but accidentally let the sparks ignite her hair. Afterwards, she not only did not blame herself, but she was the first to complain. I beg your Excellency to help us get justice."

As soon as Jiang Qishan finished speaking, the people gathered outside the door began to talk about it. Many of them nodded in agreement, and the sound of approval was endless.

"The Su family's wife is really kind-hearted and clever. Such a misunderstanding should not have happened..."

"I think it's clearly that fat woman who is making trouble out of nothing. She's not careful herself and she's blaming others!"

"I hope the Master can see through everything and clear the name of the innocent man!"

These voices merged into a torrent, as if they were the will of the people, and invisibly added a bit of complexity to the dispute.

In an instant, anger like a tide erupted from Yu Lun's heart and poured out all over the innocent Su Yu, while Fang Qin was burning with rage, her whole body shaking unconsciously with indignation.
