As soon as Song Chusi arrived at the yamen, an official kicked him in the back of the knee before he could even stand firmly. The youngest son of the Song family, who was usually treated with great respect, didn't even make a sound.

When he saw Song Wu standing there calmly, he immediately felt his face getting hot.

Song Wu raised his eyebrows with interest.

Huang Zhiwang looked at the pale-faced Song Chusi kneeling in the hall and shouted, "You bold Song Chusi! Huang Xin kidnapped and sold Song Wu, the adopted daughter of the Duke of Anguo. But was it you who ordered it?"

Song Chusi had never seen such a grand ceremony in the government office, so he quickly explained, "No, it's not me..."

Huang Xin immediately glared at him fiercely.

Huang Zhiwang slammed the gavel again, "Is it true or not?!"

Song Chusi was frightened.

He was about to deny it, but immediately saw Huang Xin making a knife-shaped gesture.

He dared not speak.

Huang Xin was so angry that he shouted, "It's him, sir! I still have the silver he gave me, and I have witnesses!"

After saying that, he turned to look at Song Chusi: "Song Chusi, you bastard, you dare not admit it?! It was you who secretly found me in the academy and asked me to sell your fake sister as far away as possible! Think it over carefully. If you don't admit your guilt, not only will the law not forgive you, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost!"

Song Chusi's face flushed crimson, and Huang Zhiwang lost all patience: "If you don't tell me, we'll have to torture you! Someone, come!"

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you!" Song Chusi raised his head hurriedly, his voice cracking. "Yes, it was me. I ordered it. Sir, if I confess my guilt, will I not be tortured?"

I have heard many times that some people became disabled after being tortured. The future hope of his uncle's family cannot be a disabled person!

Huang Zhiwang was speechless to Song Chusi. "Miss Song is your sister, why do you have such a harmful heart towards her?!"

Song Chusi lowered his head even more and whispered, "I, I don't like her. I don't like her at home, so I sent someone to take her far away..."

Song Chusi was only seventeen years old. Although he had been very active before, he had actually not experienced any storms.

I guess he was also timid in front of Huang Xin when he was in the academy.

So when discussing the case later, Huang Xin confessed the conspiracy between the two and put all the responsibility on him. He just lowered his head and muttered a few words, and soon admitted to all the charges.

Song Wu looked at him with an even more playful look.

She thought that this guy who ordered her around at home and was regarded as the future hope by everyone in the Song family was very capable, but it turned out that he was just a bully at home. He was scared like this by a mere Huang Xin!

Huang Zhiwang had been in the Dali Temple for so many years and knew that trafficking in officials' families was a serious crime.

But this unfilial son did something wrong and was interrogated in front of everyone. He had worked so hard to get to this position, so naturally he would not complain about being in office for so long!

So he waved his hand and made the final decision: "Song Chusi and Huang Xin will be sent to the prison to await their fate!"

The taut string in Song Chusi's mind suddenly broke.

He immediately cried out in disbelief: "Master Huang, Master Huang, I am the young master of the Bo Mansion. I cannot go to jail!"

Huang Xin also clung to the door of the courtroom and refused to leave. "Dad, Dad, I am innocent. I was framed by Song Chusi. The Song family wanted to kill Song Wu. It has nothing to do with me, Dad!"

Huang Zhiwang suppressed the cold sweat and waved his hands irritably, "Take these two away!"

By the time the Song family and others arrived at the Dali Temple, the trial had already ended.

On the same day, the Dali Temple, according to Daliang law, sentenced Song Chusi to exile and Huang Xin to the same crime. However, since Song Wu had escaped, neither of them had committed a serious offense, so their sentences could be reduced.

However, there are other requirements for how to reduce the punishment, so the perpetrator has to ask the victim Song Wu for his opinion.

To put it bluntly, the Dali Temple wanted to let Song Wu solve the problem behind closed doors because she was also the adopted daughter of the Song family.

Li, Song Ming and others looked at Song Wu's leisurely and confident appearance, and then thought of their son who had never suffered any hardship but was locked up in prison. They felt anxious and angry, and felt that Song Wu was really a vicious and cruel person!

Song Ming was worried. He didn't care much about the last incident involving Song Chuchu and Haiyue's death because it was someone from the government office who was responsible.

At that time, Zheng Lei, the head of the Prison Department, was just a minor official a few levels lower than himself, so he was not too afraid.

But this time it’s different, this is the Dali Temple!

Even Huang Zhiwang was a superior several ranks higher than himself, and his position was not a sinecure, but an important one!

In a place like this, no one in the family has the dignity to do so except the old lady and Song Wu!

Mrs. Li burst into tears and yelled that she wanted to see her son. Song Ming didn't want to embarrass himself here, so he pulled Mrs. Li aside and said, "Let's go! Let's go back and discuss this!"

"What are you discussing?" Li's tears and snot were all over her face. "You're just a useless piece of shit! You're the one who has to watch your son go to jail!"

Huang Zhiwang was instantly furious upon hearing this. He shouted at the police officer, "Are you all dead?! Someone is causing trouble in the court, and you won't chase them away!"

Sang Luo and Xiao Kui had already received news about Song Wu, so they drove a carriage to pick Song Wu up.

Song Ming and his wife were driven out of the yamen. When they saw Song Wu, they were filled with anger.

But Song Ming also knew what the Dali Temple meant. To put it bluntly, Song Wu brought up the Duke's Mansion, and everyone was selling face to the Duke's Mansion. They could only find Song Wu to find an opportunity to turn the situation around.

Mrs. Li and Mrs. Song Ming followed behind Song Wu. Seeing her calmly get into the carriage, the words of begging were about to come out of their throats, but they couldn't say them.

Of course Song Wu knew what the Song couple were thinking, but she refused.

She just wanted to let Song Chusi taste the feeling of doing something wrong and bearing the consequences!

Let him know that she, Song Wu, is just tolerating and giving in to him time and time again, and is not powerless to fight back!

When we returned to Wutong Garden, it was already dusk.

That day, Xiao Kui and Nanny Yu had already asked everyone to clean up Song Wu's house and move in.

Song Wu was also happy in her heart. Once Prince Jin's selection of a concubine was over, she could leave.

The Song family's carriage was filled with a dead atmosphere.

Li rolled her eyes at Song Ming sullenly. "How are we going to confront that little bitch when we get back to the mansion? Will she use this opportunity to deliberately embarrass us?"

Song Ming rubbed his brows and said in a cold voice, "Why didn't you think about saving my face when we were arguing just now?"

Li was unhappy, and the atmosphere in the car suddenly cooled down.

If we talk about the person in the best mood, it must be Song Chuchu.

Because of today's incident, Chu Si will have to spend some time in jail no matter what the crime is.

Even if she was exiled, it wouldn't bother her.

In short, she didn't delay Song Wu from participating in the imperial concubine selection, and she made a rift between her and Ji Bozhou that they could never get back together. Then her goal was achieved!

After dinner, all the members of the Song family except Song Chusi appeared in Wutong Garden.

When Song Ming and Li saw Song Wu, their smiles were uglier than crying.

"I wish." Song Ming rubbed his hands and spoke first: "What happened today really scared you, and I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult position.

Chu Si is such a piece of shit, he actually had the audacity to have you kidnapped! He deserves to be in jail, he should have suffered a little, luckily you're okay!"

Li Shi couldn't be happy. She pretended to smile in agreement, but sadness still overflowed from her face. "Yes, Yuanyuan, you are capable now. The Bofu also knows that Chu Si's behavior is too immoral. When he is released, we will make him come to you in person to apologize!"

"No need," Song Wu said with a meaningful smile, "Instigating people to kidnap and sell women on the street was something the late emperor hated the most when he was alive. So, according to Daliang law, whatever punishment you should receive is already your apology!"

Song Chushi walked forward indignantly: "It's indeed wrong for him to have someone kidnap you, but don't you have any fault? If it weren't for what you did before, Chusi would have been crazy to kidnap you!"

Li quickly winked at Song Chushi, saying that he was simply causing more trouble!

This brainless guy shouldn't have been brought here!

"What a mistake!" Song Wu pursed his lips impatiently, his eyelids twitching. "If that's the case, why didn't the Bo Mansion report this to the authorities and send me to them as well?"

Song Ming pushed his son away and forced a smile. "Yuanyuan, that's not right. We're a family. How could your parents send you to the government? You've loved Chu Si since you were little. He's definitely been going too far recently. We all know how wronged you are!"

Song Wu: "Since Uncle knows, do you know why Song Chusi had me kidnapped this time?"
