After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

In the past, when we lived in the countryside, we would squat at the door with our bowls in hand to eat, as it tasted better when we squatted.

Fang Tong didn't think there was anything wrong.

In the hall, the Fang family's "reunion" drama ended.

The prefect began to formally try the case.

It was He who asked first: "Are you Su Qingya's adoptive mother? You raised your daughter yourself. How is her behavior?"

"I am a common woman."

He answered timidly and glanced at Fang Jin casually.

The coldness in the latter's eyes frightened her.

"Bang!" the prefect slammed the table. "I'm questioning you, and you're looking at what others are doing? Why don't you just tell the truth?"

He became even more frightened.

She didn't know the specific details of Fang Jin's case, so after thinking about it, she decided to tell the truth.

"Ever since she was little, that girl has been disobedient. If she gets hurt while cutting grass for the pigs, she'll come home and cry."

"She can't even wash the clothes clean, sir. It's not that I don't love her. Girls from the countryside have to help with housework since they were young."

He argued convincingly.

"Even wealthy families treat daughters and sons differently. Daughters are given a dowry, but sons inherit the entire family business."

"In the countryside, girls have to work harder before they get married."

She said so much to mean that she did not deliberately treat Su Qingya harshly.

She can't afford to offend the Crown Prince's Consort.

Fang Nanzhi's face looked strange. When she thought about it carefully, it was true that no matter whether they were rich or ordinary people, few could treat their daughters and sons equally.

She sighed in her heart, feeling that she still had a long way to go.

"Ever since I knew Qingya was the daughter of the Earl's family, I haven't dared to neglect her in the slightest. The same goes for my family. They eat and drink just as well as my own son."

"She wasn't even allowed to do farm work. She was truly the most favored girl in the village. But I don't know why, the uncle's family came to her house a long time ago, and it took several years for them to come and take her away."

The prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture sat up straighter and carefully asked about the time of the recognition of relatives and the time of taking Su Qingya away.

A comparison revealed something was wrong. If he remembered correctly, the Bo family went to pick someone up after the old lady died.

But according to He, they had already recognized each other a long time ago?

Fang Jin's eyes flickered slightly, but he said nothing. After arriving in Beijing, he had secretly investigated the fact that the Bo Mansion took a long time to pick up the person, but he found no clues.

It's just right that He said it now when she was ignorant. Jingzhao Prefecture should be able to find out.

Anyway, he would be happy as long as he could cause some unhappiness to the Bo family.

In fact, Fang Jin and the others had agreed to the fact that the Bo Mansion would be late in picking up the person, but they kept it secret.

But after so much time, He really forgot...

Fang Jin remembered it, but he almost died, so why should he keep it a secret?

"Then tell me in detail how the Bo Mansion came to pick someone up?"

He tried hard to recall what happened at that time. He could not remember many details, but he still remembered the major events.

"They came at the right time. Qingya had just gotten into trouble and was thrown in jail."

"I don't know how the Bo Mansion smoothed things over, but after the county court ruled on the case, they paid money to atone for Qingya's crime and rescued her."

"Oh? What crime did Su Qingya commit for being arrested?" The prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture became interested.

We were originally investigating the Fang Jin case, but the more we dug, the more secrets we found.

"It's premeditated murder!" He said.

There was a loud "boom", like a thunder exploding.

The people outside were shocked. Prince Ning's wife was already a murderer before she even returned to the capital?

Can a murderer become the Crown Prince’s consort?

It turns out that those who have power and influence can cover the sky with one hand.

"So she was such a good person from the beginning. What goes around comes around. No wonder Prince Ning wanted to kill Fang Jin after she got married."

Both husband and wife are murderers.

"Oh? Are you serious? There is no law in this dynasty that says that murder can be redeemed with money." The prefect narrowed his eyes.

Is the local county magistrate so bold?

He was stunned, obviously not knowing.

She remembered that when Qin Yan brought the yamen runners to arrest someone, he mentioned intentional homicide.

She couldn't remember what the government finally decided or how she could atone for her sins.

The prefect saw through her expression and didn't force it. He simply asked, "Who did Su Qingya murder? And why did she do it?"

"It's Fang Nanzhi, Fang Tong's daughter. As for why, what else could it be? The two girls have always had a problem with each other. If they say something wrong, they'll start fighting."

He never asked why Su Qingya pushed Fang Nanzhi back then.

The prefect was a little surprised. He turned around and saw Fang Nanzhi still eating melon seeds, as if nothing had happened.

He knew in his heart that it seemed to be a premeditated murder and there was something behind it.

"Qingya and Fang Nanzhi were not close before, but they didn't confront each other to that extent. It was because..." He said subconsciously.

"Shut up!" a sharp voice rang out.

An old maid entered the courtroom and bowed to the prefect. "Your Excellency, my name is Yun, and I am the maid from Prince Ning's residence. Your Excellency has summoned the Crown Prince to the courtroom, but he is seriously injured and cannot get up. If your Excellency has any questions, you can ask me."

Fang Nanzhi and his family looked at the old lady, who looked to be in her fifties, with her hair combed meticulously, triangular eyes, a toad mouth, and wrinkles on her forehead that made her look even more fierce.

Nanny Yun, a servant in the palace, was very arrogant in her tone of voice and behavior.

Qian Fengping frowned: "Are all the royal maids so powerful?"

In the Fang family's impression, the most memorable maids are Madam Fang and Madam Hua. One killed people in the palace, and the other harmed the prince in the palace.

Now here comes Nanny Yun, who goes to court with an aggressive look on her face.

Fang Nanzhi was also shocked: "The real murderer!"

"Servants follow their masters." Fang Tong added.

"Come here, slap him in the face!" The prefect's face was slightly cold and he gave the order directly.

The two yamen runners immediately took action, forcing Madam Yun to her knees, one on each side.

Nanny Yun was both shocked and angry: "Sir, I am Prince Ning's wet nurse!"

For so many years, relying on her status as a wet nurse, she was considered half a master in Prince Ning's Mansion. Who wouldn't look up to her?

If the Jingzhao prefect hit her, it would be like hitting Prince Ning in the face.

The prefect's expression didn't change at all: "Roaring in court, slap ten times!"

The slap in the face in court is not a slap in the face, but a hit on the mouth with a wooden board.

"Clap clap clap!"

The yamen runners did as they were told without hesitation.

Are you really so used to being domineering in Prince Ning's Mansion that you think people outside have to flatter you too?

Don’t think about what kind of place this is, the Jingzhao Prefecture. Here, even if the emperor comes, the highest official is the prefect.

An old slave dares to be so arrogant.

Fang Nanzhi was happy, and she clapped her little hands together, clapping her hands!

"Good!" Fang Tong cheered directly!

With their family taking the lead, the onlookers also followed suit and applauded.

You naughty slave deserves a beating!

For a moment, the entrance to Jingzhao Prefecture was as bustling as a vegetable market.

The prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture saw Fang Tong and thought, as an official appointed by the imperial court, he really... didn't know how to sit properly.

He was annoyed by the sight and could only look away and let He continue.

Nanny Yun was anxious: "Sir, it was my fault before, but those past events have nothing to do with the current case..."
