So what if I traveled through time? I'll continue to roll in another place

"What is the gratitude between you and me?" Qiu Shunci, who had been silent on the side, spoke up.

"Ever since we got married, you have been extremely dissatisfied with me, and you even despise me because my family has little influence and your father cannot help you to have a smooth career.

Then I gave birth to a daughter, and your family hated me for not being able to carry on the family line, so you took a concubine before I was even one month old. Now you are even beating and kicking my father.

In the seven years of marriage, I have never received a penny from you or eaten a grain of rice from you. Your family of eight lives in my house and uses my money and food, and now you have caused me to be seriously injured and my legs are disabled. What gratitude do I have to your Tang family? "Qiu Shunci's words were full of tears, but he never really felt the same way.

In feudal society, women's suffering would not be taken seriously. When people heard her mention being childless and taking a concubine, some people in the crowd actually began to understand Tang Shuyi.

"If Miss Qiu doesn't have a son, then it would be understandable for Lord Tang to take a concubine, right?"

"The family line must be passed down. The Qiu family is too jealous."

"Which woman doesn't have children? Shouldn't she take a concubine to serve her husband while she is still in confinement?"

"It took seven years of marriage to have a daughter. It's really hard for the Qiu family to have children. No wonder the husband's family is angry."

......

Although Qiu Shunci's words were from the bottom of his heart, when they reached the ears of the public, they became meaningless and were open to criticism.

"You are the only daughter in the Qiu family. Since you married my son, the Qiu family naturally belongs to our Tang family! What do you mean by using your money and living in your house?!" Mother Tang shouted as if her pain point was hit.

"We are all family, so we really shouldn't be too picky."

"The Qiu family has no sons, so won't they have to rely on their son-in-law in the future? It's only right that they treat the Tang family better."

"Husband and wife, even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected. Just bear with it and it will pass."

......

What's worse, some people even said such stupid remarks as "Ms. Qiu is already disabled, but Lord Tang still sticks with her and is unwilling to break up with her. He is a true gentleman!"

It is difficult for an honest judge to settle family affairs, Liang Ji felt that this hot potato was difficult to handle. Although he sympathized with Qiu Zhuo, he felt that the quarrel between husband and wife was not a big deal, and the fault of being unfilial only stipulated that the wife could not beat the husband's parents, and did not include the husband beating his father-in-law!

Moreover, the Ministry of Personnel and the Censorate had not yet reached a conclusion on Tang Shuyi's beating of Qiu Zhuo. Even if he wanted to defend him, he could only reprimand the Tang family. Who doesn't have bad debts? Who doesn't live like this?

"If the Qiu family has no evidence, then today's matter will end here. I will not judge your family affairs. Court is adjourned!"

Tsk~~ That's it! The onlookers dispersed one after another. Humans' sorrows and joys are inherently incommunicable.

Listening to these complicated words ringing in his ears, the Qiu family father and daughter's reason turned into unreasonableness. This scene of feudal dregs completely angered Xiao Yueshan!

She walked quietly to Qiu Shunci and asked her a few questions in a low voice. After getting Qiu Shunci's consent and seeing that the crowd had mostly dispersed, she lifted the curtain in front of her veil and walked straight to Liang Ji and said, "Your Excellency, I have something to report. Please come to the inner hall for a hearing!"

Liang Ji didn't know what she was up to, but he decided to give her some face and moved to the inner hall.

Seeing that everything was ready, Xiao Yueshan said loudly: "I accuse Tang Shuyi, a doctor of the Five Classics of the Hanlin Academy, and his family of treason and rebellion. This is a great disrespect and they should be punished. They are guilty of the ten unforgivable crimes and should be executed according to the law!"

Ah? Liang Ji couldn't help but take a deep breath. It was just a lawsuit between two families, it shouldn't be this serious.

"You are just a woman, don't rely on your family background to yell in court! This is our family affair, what has it got to do with you?" Tang Shuyi said to her viciously, "Mrs. Zhou is sharp-tongued and eccentric, which makes us sigh that Mr. Zhou is not a good husband and Mr. Xiao is not a good parent!"

"I dare to speak out for justice, so I must have my reasons." Xiao Yueshan was confident, "Violating etiquette and chastity, and being unruly are the sixth of the ten unforgivable crimes. Those who commit disrespect will be beheaded regardless of whether they are the leader or the follower. They should be beheaded as a warning to others!"

"This crime is very serious. Does Mrs. Zhou have any evidence?" Liang Ji asked.

"Qiu Zhuo was an editor at the Hanlin Academy, in charge of compiling the history books of Dazhao. On the day Tang Shuyi beat Qiu Zhuo, he trampled on the history books of Dazhao, treating the majesty of the emperor as dirt! When I went to the Qiu family to rescue Mr. Qiu and his daughter, I found fragments of history books in the courtyard. Now I have collected them and presented them to the court. The Tang family burned the manuscripts that recorded the deeds of Taizu and Taizong, set them on fire, and trampled on them at will. It is really disrespectful!"

She raised her hand, and with a single command, the servants could bring up the evidence. "I have the evidence. Please ask someone to copy the Tang family's footprints on white paper. Then we can ask someone to check and verify whether the footprints on the manuscript were left by the Tang family."

"Fortunately, all members of the Tang family are here today. We can take footprints one by one for verification and not wrongly accuse anyone." She looked at Tang Shuyi mockingly.

It escalated to an insult to the late emperor, which was a serious problem. Seeing that Liang Ji took it seriously, the yamen runners came down with paper and ink to compare their footprints. Tang Shuyi and his family panicked and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy.

The Fengtian government office is no joke and will not stop the process of solving the case just because of their fear. The bailiffs took down each person's footprints according to the feet of the Tang family.

Neither the Qiu nor the Tang families were wealthy, and they had to make their own clothes and shoes. Naturally, the stitching on the soles of their shoes was unique and no two of them were alike. Once compared, they would be unable to deny it.

"Lord Tang said that Lord Qiu's wounds were not caused by you, so now we can see if the shoe prints on the names of Taizu and Taizong were made by you!" Xiao Yueshan asked directly before Liang Ji could say anything. "If I can break off the friendship with the Qiu family today, I will not make this petition. If not, let Lord Liang and the people of the capital verify it together!"

Tang Shuyi was in a state of confusion. He couldn't believe that Xiao Yueshan could have kept the evidence in such a chaotic fire scene. Would there be traces of them on the pages?

His heart was beating fast. His two brothers and their wives were not happy about it and started to cry in the hall, "If we investigate, it's my brother's fault alone! We can't read, how can we know what those things are for? Even if he really made a mistake, it was unintentional!"

"I thought you were going to be successful as an official and would take us to the capital to enjoy a good life, but I didn't expect you would cause the death of your family! If we had known, we would not have come!"

"We are just brother and sister-in-law. Our father died early, and our third branch separated out long ago. The affairs of the third branch have nothing to do with our first branch!" The eldest brother of the Tang family said as he was about to leave with his children.

“My eldest brother at least inherited the family lineage, so it has nothing to do with our second branch!” The second brother of the Tang family was not willing to be outdone.

Xiao Yueshan looked at Liang Ji, her eyes telling her that she only wanted to force the Tang family to break up, and didn't want to go to the trouble of killing them.

Liang Ji, the governor of Fengtian Prefecture, was very clear-headed. He slammed the gavel and asked in a serious tone: "All prisoners, keep quiet!" The bailiffs immediately held down the Tang family members who were about to escape.

"Master Tang, do you want to send evidence for verification?"

Tang Shuyi looked at his brother and sister-in-law rolling on the ground, and weighed the pros and cons quickly. He still didn't dare to gamble on Xiao Yueshan's evidence, "No... No..."

"If there hadn't been this disrespectful lawsuit, would the Qiu and Tang families have broken off relations now?" Qiu Shunci asked coldly, "Since you despise Sister Xian because she's a daughter and can't inherit the family line, then let the child be mine."

"How can that be possible!" Tang's mother, who had just been pretending to be dead, didn't care that she was still being held down by the yamen runners, and turned over. "Even if she is just a little girl, she is also the flesh and blood of my Tang family! How can we let an outsider get away with it!"

Xiao Yueshan didn't say anything, but deliberately coughed twice. Tang Shuyi looked at the unfriendly woman in front of him and said, "Since you want this daughter, I'll give her to you." He was really afraid of the consequences. "If I agree that Sister Xian will be yours, can we change the marriage to a peaceful divorce? Then the lawsuit between our two families will be over, and we won't continue to make trouble in the government."

If it was a divorce of loyalty, then Tang Shuyi's beating of Qiu Zhuo would be confirmed, and his career would be hopeless. But a divorce was just a family matter, and as long as the Ministry of Personnel was not dismissed, there was still a way to save his reputation.

"Then let's sign the contract. From now on, we will go our separate ways. My Qiu family and Miss Xian will have nothing to do with you anymore." Qiu Shunci raised his hand, and the servant presented the document. The two signed and sealed it, and asked the clerk to witness it. Then the marriage was annulled.

Mr. Lu Xun once said that if you want to open a skylight in a dark room, no one will agree. But if you advocate removing the roof, they will compromise and agree to open the skylight.

Now the skylight in Qiu Shunci's gloomy life has finally opened.
