Transformed into a furry person, I am doing public relations in the Northern Song Dynasty

Once you take out two fingers, what else is there to say?

This is what Yu Lian meant by threatening. She didn't care even though two fingers were broken. No wonder Madam Liu wanted to sue her for murder!

After a few adults took a look, they asked someone to put two fingers in front of the two rough men for identification.

One of them was the one who accidentally took the kitchen knife yesterday.

"Wang Wu, do you recognize this finger? Is it true, as Madam Liu said, that Yu Lian ordered you to snatch the kitchen knife and accidentally hurt one of our own people?"

Wang Wu was captured yesterday and was beaten with sticks because he accidentally injured a policeman with a kitchen knife. He knew that he could not escape the disaster and he could not help but feel resentment towards Yu Lian.

If he hadn't followed Yu Lian in making trouble for the sake of those few dollars, how could he have ended up in such a situation.

"Every word Madam Liu said is true! Yu Lian hired a few of us yesterday, saying that she would take us to teach the ladies of the Liu family a lesson. Regardless of life or death, she will be responsible for any problems!"

"Please understand, sir. I am the one who has been wronged!"

Yu Lian's face turned pale instantly. She never expected that this man would bite her.

She suddenly turned her head and looked at Liu Yunqing.

This vicious person must have bribed someone to harm her!

Yu Lian was young and outspoken. She felt that Liu Yunqing was not a good person, so she was naturally dissatisfied with his words.

But no matter how wronged she felt, she could not afford to refute this matter. Wang Wu was someone Cheng Li had personally captured, and there was no chance that he could be bribed by Liu Yunqing.

Wang Wu just wanted revenge, so who can be blamed? Yu Lian is just reaping the consequences.

Liu Yunqing was also surprised.

She had already prepared herself for a fight in the court. After all, no one saw it, and she insisted that it was an accidental injury caused by someone trying to grab the knife, and no one could find fault with her.

"It's good to have figured this out. After all, my mother, sisters and I were not injured. Madam Yu Lian just needs to acknowledge us. As for the beloved man that Madam Yu Lian mentioned, my father has been missing for more than a month. Could it be that Madam Yu Lian has hidden him?"

Liu Yunqing didn't want to get entangled in so many details with others, and she didn't intend to make things difficult for a little girl. The person she was targeting was her good father Liu Chenggong.

This reminded the others, and Lord Zhang then asked about the whereabouts of Shopkeeper Liu.

Yu Lian seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and confessed everything she knew, even describing in detail how she had met Liu Chenggong.

She was also forced into a corner by Liu Yunqing. According to the law, if she was convicted of hiring a killer, she would be sentenced severely even if it was an attempted murder.

I finally got a true lover to protect me, so how could I let him go and give him to that shrewd woman named Qi?

"I met Liu Lang at a Chamber of Commerce banquet half a year ago. Liu Lang was depressed and said that his wife wanted to cut off the Liu family's incense. Madam Liu was unfilial and had big ideas. She was a girl who rushed to interfere in the family business and didn't take him seriously."

"Anyway, we have seen each other quite often since then. When Liu Lang found out that I was pregnant, he was extremely happy. He bought a house for me and stayed there every day. He promised that when I gave birth to a boy, he would divorce Qi and marry me."

"Madam Liu and Liu Lang had an argument and jumped into the river. This unfilial act forced Liu Lang to not want to go home. Can you blame me for this? Madam Liu, stop slandering others. You should first look at your own moral character."

It was rare for Yu Lian to calm down, and her words were quite harsh. Liu Yunqing chuckled and did not explain or argue with her.

"My Lord is asking about my father's whereabouts, not asking you to show off your seductive skills. You can't do it yourself, so don't bring trouble to the reputation of other ladies in the Music Bureau."

Yu Lian's face was about to turn black with anger, but considering the officials above her, she pursed her lips and continued.

"As for Liu Lang's whereabouts, I don't know for now. Liu Lang is very busy with his business, so it's normal for him not to come back. He always says that I bring good luck to his husband, and I think so. Liu Lang has been much busier in the past few months than before."

At this point, Yu Lian actually revealed a bit of the shyness of a little girl. She raised her chin and glanced at Madam Liu. Everyone could see that she was showing off.

After all, in addition to jumping into the river, Madam Liu also has the reputation of being a jinx who brings bad luck to her husband.

Liu Yunqing just felt his hands itching and wanted to slap someone, what should he do?

Just at this moment, there was another commotion outside, with some people laughing and some scolding, all directed at Yu Lian. Yu Lian looked unhappy, and Lord Zhang quieted the court again, and the conversation was finally over.

The magistrate standing by figured out something unusual from Yu Lian's words, so he consulted his superiors and asked.

"As far as I know, the Liu family only runs two bookstores. May I ask if Madam Liu is right? The bookstores are doing so well on weekdays that they still need to work overnight?"

Liu Yunqing nodded.

"As you said, my Liu family only runs two bookstores, which are not too far apart. On weekdays, when we inspect the stores or transfer goods, we only need to send people to walk there, and there is always enough time."

"As for the bookshop business, it's not that busy. My father is the shopkeeper. There are special masters and workers for engraving, printing, and binding. There are also people in charge of daily transactions and cash collection. My father used to just supervise them."

"Take my time as the manager of the shop for example. We opened at 12:00 a.m. and closed at 12:30 p.m. every day. This was all in accordance with the old rules. If we were busy, it would be when we were doing the month-end accounting or when there was a change in the market conditions of the paper mill and we were asked to go and discuss it. This was not so busy that we could not stay home."

"That's right." The judge tapped the low table with his knuckles.

"I see that Madam Yu Lian is well-dressed. She has three finger-thick hairpins on her bald head. It doesn't look like Manager Liu can afford this with just two bookstores."

"You think he is busy with business all day long, but what on earth is he busy with?"

Yu Lian began to stammer.

She had slept in the same bed with Liu Chenggong for more than half a year, so how could she not know what he did on a daily basis? Besides, Liu Chenggong was a vain and ostentatious person, so she was afraid that this business could not be told.

At this moment, someone suddenly made a commotion outside the hall, and the bailiff came to report that it was Shopkeeper Liu who came to protect Madam Yu Lian.

Lord Zhang couldn't help but glance at Liu Yunqing who was kneeling below him, thinking that there are such fathers in the world.

For his sake, the daughter was willing to expose the family scandal and sue her father's mistress. Who would have thought that the father only cared about the mistress and didn't care about his daughter's life or death.

How heartbroken would this make Madam Liu?

Was it really Madam Liu who jumped into the river on her own initiative, not because of anything he, as a father, said or did?

"It is said that Liu successfully entered the court for confrontation!"

Although the appearance of Liu Chenggong cleared Yu Lian of suspicion of murder, Liu Chenggong still bears the suspicion.

There are some things that the government will not investigate unless the people report them, but now that suspicion has appeared in court, it must be made clear.

Liu Chenggong walked up to the hall, ignoring the people around him who were belittling and scolding him. He first bowed to several adults, looked at Liu Yunqing with disgust, and then defended Yu Lian.
