In a world where there are more men than women, I am spoiled

"Su Yueya, do you know that on the day of Miss Su's wedding, Master Zhou from Yi County personally came to see the two paintings, and Su Yueyao also painted a painting on the spot. Master Zhou confirmed Su Yueyao's painting." County Magistrate Wen said directly.

When Su Yueya heard this, she took a step back. Master Zhou went to Su Yueyao's house specifically, but why didn't any news come out?

"Impossible! If Master Zhou went there, why is there no news?" Su Yueya said unwillingly.

"That's because Master Zhou likes quietness. When he left, he told other people who were watching the paintings together not to spread the news. The people who were watching didn't know Master Zhou. Afterwards, the people in the Su Mansion gave rewards to the people and asked them to keep the fact that the scholar entered the mansion a secret." said Magistrate Wen.

Su Yueyao was stunned when she heard this and looked at Yang Qianxun. There were so many things going on in their wedding, but Yang Qianxun actually used money to silence the onlookers afterwards.

She didn't even know that Yang Qianxun had done this.

"Why don't you three confess? Do you want me to torture you?" County Magistrate Wen no longer looked at Su Yueya and spoke directly to the three men below.

"We..." After hearing what the county magistrate said, the three of them knew that they had made a wrong accusation, but Su Yueya promised them that she would accept them after the matter was accomplished.

"Come here, take them down and beat them hard until they confess."

"Okay sir."

Suddenly, the sound of a board hitting flesh and a man's screams were heard outside.

Su Yueya's face turned extremely ugly when she heard this. She didn't expect that the painting was really drawn by Su Yueyao. It would be troublesome if these three people confessed that it was her who instructed them to do it.

After a while, three people were carried in by the yamen runners. Their clothes were stained with blood and they looked seriously injured!

"Ms. Su, save me, save us." One of them looked at Su Yueya and said.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't even know you, how can I save you?" Su Yueya immediately distanced herself from the matter.

The man lying on the ground suddenly felt hopeless. The other two men looked at Su Yueya's attempt to distance herself from the matter and said angrily, "Ms. Su, you asked us to slander Su Yueyao on purpose. We also have the 100 taels of silver you gave us, and you promised to accept us as your own afterward."

"You're talking nonsense, I've never seen you." Su Yueya said loudly, but there was guilt in her eyes.

The magistrate of Wen County instructed the bailiff to take the silver note, and sent someone to check whether the silver note was deposited by the Su family.

The final result confirmed that the banknote was indeed from the Su family. It was the money that the master of the Su family specially left for Su Yueya.

"The three of you framed a woman in public and are sentenced to six months in prison. Su Yueya framed a woman and is sentenced to..."

"My Lords, this is a family matter. It's not worth making such an ugly scene." Su's mother suddenly appeared and said.

Su Yueyao looked at Su's mother and shuddered subconsciously. The original owner was actually most afraid of Su's mother physically and mentally.

On the one hand, Su's mother was fond of men and often lingered in places of red-light districts. On the other hand, she was really cruel and really punished. The original owner was punished to stand, copy, and be grounded countless times using various torturous methods, which made the original owner tremble whenever he saw Su's mother.

"The head of the Su family has already registered with the county government to expel Su Yueyao from the clan and drive her out of the house. How can this be a family affair?" County Magistrate Wen said in a bland tone when he saw Su's mother.

She had never thought that Su Yueyao would be in such a situation at home before. This was too biased. Women were scarce nowadays, and there were many families that had not had a woman for two or three generations. The Su family already had two, but they didn't cherish them.

The magistrate of Wen County was even more unfriendly towards the head of the Su family at this time.

"Why is it not a family matter? Yao'er, you tell us about it." Mother Su looked at Su Yueyao and said.

Su Yueyao took a deep breath, clenched her hands tightly and said, "I am no longer a member of the Su family, so of course it is not a family affair. You have already expelled me from the family, and I dare not marry into the Su family anymore."

"Yao'er, is this true? Do you still want your father's belongings?" Su's mother walked up to Su Yueyao and said softly.

"You..." Su Yueyao opened her eyes and looked at her.

Did the original owner's biological father leave something for her? She didn't seem to have any memory of it.

"Master Su, I am no longer the Su Yueyao of the past, so I don't care. Su Yueya slandered me and even hired someone to discredit me. If I let her go today, she won't be grateful! She will bully me again in the future, so why should I let her go?"

"Very good, Yao'er is going to break up with her mother completely." The head of the Su family looked at her gloomily.

Su Yueyao clenched her hands tightly, not even feeling her nails piercing her flesh. At this moment, she knew that Su's mother was the most difficult person to deal with in the Su family. The original owner was afraid of her, but she was not, because she was the modern Su Yueyao.

"Mr. County Magistrate, there is a law in this dynasty that if a woman commits a crime, the family can pay enough silver to settle the matter. The Su family is willing to pay 5,000 taels of silver to Lady Su as compensation. Is that okay?"

"I... don't..." Su Yueyao wanted to refuse, but Yang Qianxun held her hand and shook his head at her. Su Yueyao looked up at County Magistrate Wen, and she also shook her head slightly.

Su Yueyao sighed inwardly, it seemed that Su Yueya could not be convicted today.

"I agree to Master Su's compensation."

"The banknotes will be delivered in a while." After saying this, Su's mother pulled Su Yueya away.

The three men were directly imprisoned. The women can compensate with money, but the men cannot. Once they are found guilty, they will probably have no chance of turning things around.

Su Yueyao looked at the direction where Su's mother and Su Yueya left without moving.

When no one was in the county government office, Yang Qianxun gently opened Su Yueyao's tightly clenched hands, and seeing the red bloodstain on her palms, he said distressedly, "Ah Yao, does it hurt?"

Su Yueyao came back to her senses and saw Yang Qianxun's distressed eyes, her heart warmed. She looked at the palm of her hand. This scene of enduring the piercing of her palm with her nails had happened to her many times in modern times. Her adoptive parents always asked her to give in to her younger brother for various reasons.

Sometimes even when her brother hit her, her adoptive parents asked her to give in and not fight back, otherwise they would beat her.

How many times had her adoptive father slapped her without hesitation?

But here someone would gently ask her if it hurts, and she wants to say that it hurts a lot, but perhaps it is more of a pain of expectation and disappointment in her heart…

She looked at Yang Qianxun gently wiping her palms with a handkerchief. She wanted to say something to comfort him, but tears flowed uncontrollably.

"Ayao, don't cry. I will get back for you the grievances you suffered in the Su family. Don't cry." Yang Qianxun gently wiped away Su Yueyao's tears and said.

"It doesn't hurt, Qianqian, it doesn't hurt, your hands don't hurt." Su Yueyao shook her head and said.

"Ayao, now is not the time to touch the Su family, so I'm sorry for what happened just now."

"Yueyao has been wronged this time. Yueyao's paintings have just become famous, and you openly broke up with your mother in court. Although she expelled you from the clan, filial piety is still there, so Yueyao..." County Magistrate Wen said.

Although women have a high status, the master of the Su family in Yi County has a connection with Feng. Yue Yao's foundation is unstable, so she must not make too much trouble with Su's mother at this time.

"I know, aunt. Thank you for your protection just now." Su Yueyao said after calming down.

"Don't worry, Yueyao. Your uncles are already targeting the Su family's business. We just have to take it slow and not let them find out. Also, after this incident, the scholars in Yi County are afraid that the Su family will be completely excluded. So there is nothing to be gained from this disturbance today."

"I'm sorry to have caused my aunt and uncles to worry. Yueyao is very grateful."

"You're welcome. We are all family. Go back and have some rest!" said the magistrate of Wen County.

"Yes, auntie."
