"Who wrote this evidence?" Lord Jin asked again.

"Yes..." Mi Youcai was sweating profusely and he felt his back was almost wet.

"Why? It's hard to answer again. Your wife said that it was written by you, and that you and your brother learned calligraphy from Mi Youcai's family. I am right, right?" Lord Jin said to Liang.

The bailiff brought Liang to Mi Youcai.

"Uh, yes, I wrote it." Mi Youcai glared at Liang fiercely. He had learned to read with his second brother, but only a few dozen words. What if the adults asked him to write later? Wouldn't it be exposed immediately?

Sure enough, just as he thought of this, Lord Jin asked his lawyer to bring paper and pen and asked Mi Youcai to rewrite the words on the document.

Mi Youcai's head was buzzing and he really wanted to die on the spot.

"Come here, what are you dawdling for? Let me appreciate your calligraphy." Lord Jin said with a smile.

Mi Youcai came up to Lord Jin with his heavy legs in slippers, and a yamen runner put a pen in his hand.

Mi Youcai was holding the pen, trembling, and the ink on the tip of the pen was dripping.

"Sir, I am guilty. It was I and my wife who came up with this idea. We wanted to cheat Xun's money. Sir, I know I was wrong and will never do it again." After hearing what Mi Youcai said, everyone knew what was clear. Mi Youcai and his wife forged the IOU in order to cheat Xun's money. If they couldn't get the money, they would sell Milan to an old man in the town as a concubine. He had inquired about it, and with Milan's looks, it would be no problem to sell her for fifty taels.

"Snapped"

Lord Jin slammed the table fiercely, "Mi Youcai, Liang, you are so bold, your mind is so vicious, Xun is your sister-in-law, Milan is your niece, even if you split up, you can't write two Mi characters with one stroke, you are so vicious, this official has never seen it before, it really opened my eyes, since the two of you admit to the false accusation against Xun, then I will now sentence: Mi Youcai, Liang, be severely beaten with thirty boards, sentenced to six months in prison, and compensate Xun for medical expenses, mental damages, and reputation damages of five taels of silver."

Lord Jin didn't understand what Mi Yao meant by the compensation for mental damage and reputation loss, but this girl had a lot of tricks up her sleeve.

"Sir, where can we get five taels of silver?" Liang burst into tears.

"Oh, no, didn't you borrow fifteen taels from Xun?" Lord Jin looked at Liang's fat body and ugly face and felt very disgusted, but as an official who is the parent of the people, his professional ethics were there, and he didn't vomit in public.

"Sir, I really don't have any money at home." Liang continued to cry.

"Then sell the land. Village Chief Mi, sell one acre of Mi Youcai's good farmland. The market price is eight taels per acre, and the current price is five taels. The transaction will be done on the spot. One hand gives the money and the other hand gives the land. This official and my lawyer are here. Let's go through the formalities immediately." Lord Jin was really decisive.

"I'll buy it, sir. I'll buy it, too." A tall and thin man came out.

"Sir, I remember now that I have five taels of silver at home." Liang said crying.

"Take her back to get the money." Lord Jin said.

Immediately, a bailiff came forward and dragged Liang away.

Not long after, Liang came back and took out five taels of silver.

Lord Jin handed the silver to Xun, then spoke a few words to Village Chief Mi and left with his men.

Mi Youcai and Liang were also dragged away and given thirty lashes of the cane and six months in prison in the hope that this would help them reform.

"Listen, everyone. Mi Youcai's family is a warning to you. Don't think about those crooked ways when you have nothing to do. We must be upright. If you don't have the ability, just farm well. If you have the ability, go out and make a living. If you can make a decent living, you can bring honor to the village. What kind of ability is this fratricide? Bullshit."

The village chief was also very angry. Liang from Mi Youcai's family was just a troublemaker.

"Mi Yao, use the five taels of silver to take your mother to check her health and buy some supplements. You are a mother now, so don't be so careless and live a good life." Village chief Mi was too lazy to look at Mi Yao, a lazy woman who was said to be fickle. Even after giving birth to a child, she still wanted things that did not belong to her.

"I understand, Village Chief." Mi Yao was not angry. She knew that Village Chief Mi's attitude was the fault of the original owner.

"Okay, it's okay, everyone go away. Can't you see that the crops are wilting? Go and water them." The village chief cursed and led the onlookers away.

At the gate of the courtyard, only Night Owl and the two children were left.

"grandmother!"

"grandmother!"

The two little guys came running over in a hurry.

Xun was stunned at first, but when she saw Night Owl behind her and what Mi Mo said just now, she realized that these were her two grandsons.

"Oh, this is my eldest grandson!" Xun hugged one of them while looking at the two exquisitely carved little babies. She loved them very much.

"The son-in-law meets the mother-in-law!" Ye Xiao also stepped forward.

"Oh, oh." Xun was so excited that she was at a loss.

"Lan'er, boil some water quickly and pour some for your sister and brother-in-law." Xun said hurriedly.

"Mom, don't worry." Mi Yao felt distressed when she saw her mother was so happy that she didn't know what to do.

"Second aunt, little aunt!" The two little ones are now very familiar with each other and come forward to say hello.

"Hey, dear babies." Milan Miyou happily grabbed one by one.

"Who is your older brother?" Mi You asked.

"Aunt, guess what? There will be a reward if you guess it right." Zichen said, tilting his little head.

"Auntie guesses you are my younger brother." Mi You said.

"Wow, auntie, you guessed it right. I am my younger brother Zichen, and this is my older brother Ziyu. Auntie, how did you guess it?" Zichen turned into a chatterbox.

"Intuition!" Mi You gently pinched Zi Chen's little face.

"Okay." Zi Chen didn't hear the answer he wanted, but he still took out two candies willingly.

"Aunt, this is for you. Second aunt, this is for you." Zichen distributed the candies seriously.

"Thank you, baby." Sisters Milan and Miyou were very happy.

"Aunt, why don't you eat?" Zichen asked.

"Auntie saves it for the baby." Mi You looked at the adorable child in front of him and glared at Mi Mo fiercely.

Mi Yao felt very strange, but she didn't care. Her sister was just angry with the original owner. She hoped to whiten herself quickly and make Milan Miyou like her.

"My brother and I still have some. Mother doesn't allow us to eat too much, so she only gives us one a day. Please eat it quickly, auntie." Zichen peeled the candy and put it into Miyou's mouth.

"So sweet." Mi You's eyes felt sore and tears came out.

I didn't expect that when I was fourteen years old, the first candy that came to me was actually given to me by a four-year-old kid.

Zi Yu also peeled the other candy and stuffed it into Milan's mouth.

"So sweet." The two sisters' hearts were melted by the appearance of the two little ones.

"My dear, why are you back today?" asked Xun.

"Mom, I was ignorant before, but I have learned my lesson now. Now our family has built a house, and we are going to invite the villagers to a banquet in a few days. Ah Xiao and I are here to invite you and your sister to stay at my house for a few days." Mi Yao said.
