The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

Lord Zhu came out of the house and greeted Song Yuntang politely.

"Miss Song is here."

Song Yuntang bowed to Zhu Deming generously.

"Master Zhu, we meet again."

Zhu Deming smiled and asked, "How have you been lately?"

"Everything is fine. Thank you for your concern, sir."

Seeing that Song Yuntang and Zhu Deming were talking freely and seemed to have a good relationship, Lin Zhaozhao became furious and pointed at Song Yuntang and cursed him.

"Song Yuntang, tell me, did you collude with Lord Zhu to keep me in jail? You're clearly fine, so why did you arrest me? I refuse to accept this!"

These days, the days in prison had driven her almost crazy.

They ate rotten rice, slept on straw mats, wore dirty prison uniforms, and rats ran around in the cell. They ate, drank, defecated and urinated in the cell, and the whole space was filled with a foul stench.

She never wants to go to jail again!

Never go in there again!

So when she saw that the two of them had a good relationship, she just wanted to grab something to rescue herself from that dirty and terrifying prison.

Zhu Deming clasped his hands behind his back and looked at her coldly.

"How dare you! You made a mistake and were convicted, yet you still dare to accuse me of partiality. Is this how Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin taught their daughter?"

Song Yuntang sneered.

Lin Zhaozhao is really stupid.

Mr. Zhu is about to be promoted. How can he tolerate the appearance of slanderous remarks against him at this time?

"Zhao Zhao! Don't be rude!" Lin Jingyao said sternly.

Lin Zhaozhao was unconvinced, "That's right! If it weren't for his partiality, Song Yuntang would be fine. Why would he convict me?"

"You're so stubborn! It seems you haven't reflected enough in prison these past few days!" Zhu Deming was furious when he saw that Lin Zhaozhao hadn't changed her ways. "Come here, Lin Zhaozhao has falsely accused an official. Give me ten lashes of the board first, and then I'll execute you here."

Lin Jingyao hurriedly pleaded for Lin Zhaozhao, but Lord Zhu ignored him and still had him beaten.

After being beaten, Lin Zhaozhao became smarter and lay on the ground grimacing in pain. She only dared to stare at Song Yuntang with resentment, but did not dare to scream like before.

Zhu Deming looked at the woman standing next to him.

"Miss Song, why did you accept the Lin family's mediation? A woman like this will never be at peace even if she returns."

Song Yuntang said lightly, "There's nothing I can do. The Lin family gave us a lot."

Because Lin Jingyao was squatting next to Lin Zhaozhao, he did not hear the sound of the two people talking.

Zhu Deming was stunned for a moment, then he coughed strangely. This girl knew how to judge the situation and not act on impulse. This was a good thing.

Otherwise, if the Lin family targeted her, her life in Cile Town would be difficult.

Even so, it would be bad to let her suffer any injustice.

"Miss Song came here today to accept mediation, but Lin Zhaozhao's actions ultimately violated the laws of Daxia, and she spoke outrageously and falsely accused me. Even if her sentence can be reduced, she must still receive the necessary punishment."

"Come here, give Lin Zhaozhao another thirty lashes, and let him reflect in prison for a month before being released!"

When Lin Zhaozhao heard that not only would she be beaten with thirty boards, but she would also have to stay in that dark prison for another month, she fainted from anger and anxiety.

Seeing this, Lin Jingyao hurriedly pleaded for mercy.

"Master Zhu, my sister is unconscious. Can the execution be postponed?"

"Alright." Master Zhu glanced in the direction of the yamen runners. "Let's put her in jail first. Wait until she's sober before spanking her. This will help Miss Lin remember this lesson well and not make the same mistake again."

"Yes."

The bailiffs responded and each of them dragged Lin Zhaozhao away.

At this moment, Lin Jingyao felt like he had a breath stuck in his chest and had no place to vent.

Everyone in the Lin family wanted to get her out.

She, on the other hand, seemed to be afraid that she hadn't spent enough time in jail, and she didn't know how to calm down at all!

She is such an impatient person, and her parents actually wanted to marry her to the Yang family in Anyang County. The struggles in the Yang family's inner house are much bloodier than those in the Lin Mansion. Without the protection of her mother and her two brothers, she will not know how she will die!

Lin Jingyao pinched his eyebrows.

A girl raised in the countryside really can't be relied upon.

He had wasted those two hundred taels of silver. If it weren't for the blood relationship, he really wouldn't have cared about it.

Watching Lin Zhaozhao being dragged away by the yamen runners, Lin Jingyao turned around and was about to say something to Zhu Deming, but saw him looking at Song Yuntang with a polite expression.

"Miss Song, I have a difficult case and would like to ask for your help in making a judgment. Are you free?"

Song Yuntang nodded, "I'm free."

He gestured in the direction of one of the rooms.

"Miss Song, please come this way."

Lin Jingyao watched Zhu Deming invite Song Yuntang into the house with a strange look in his eyes.

Can a young girl help Lord Zhu judge a case?

It has only been three years since she left the Lin family, but without realizing it, she has undergone such a big change.

Song Yuntang is very different from those women who confine themselves to living in deep houses. In Lin Jingyao's eyes, she seems to be shining.

At this moment, Master Qin on the side made a timely gesture to invite someone outside.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Zhu still has things to attend to. Please come in."

Lin Jingyao nodded slightly and walked away.

……

Inside the house, Zhu Deming looked at Song Yuntang.

"How is it? Miss Song, are you satisfied with the sentence I gave to Miss Lin?"

The girl smiled with her eyes curved.

"Of course I am satisfied. Thank you, Lord Zhu, for doing me justice."

There was a hint of pity in Zhu Deming's expression.

"I know you've left your parents' home now, and it's not easy for a woman to live alone. If you have any difficulties in the future, and I can help you, you can come to the county government office to find me."

Song Yuntang bowed and said, "Thank you for your concern, Master Zhu. Although I have left my parents' home, I will soon marry Xu Qingye. It should be better for me to have him protecting me in the future."

"Okay, then if he dares to bully you in the future, come and tell me and I'll give him a beating."

Song Yuntang laughed out loud at his words.

"Didn't Master Zhu say he needed my help with something? Let's not delay the important matter."

After hearing this, Zhu Deming regained his seriousness.

He walked around to the desk, took out a petition and handed it to her.

"They say family disgrace shouldn't be aired in public. This concubine of the Hu family suffered a miscarriage after eating a plate of pastries. She consulted several doctors but couldn't find anything wrong. She was so angry that she insisted on making a scene at the government office. As the official in charge of Anyang County, I have no choice but to ignore it."

After handing the complaint to Song Yuntang, he picked up another one.

"The young master of the Li family is in a coma, and the doctors haven't been able to determine the cause. Several suspects have been tortured, but they have denied any wrongdoing. Without solid evidence, I can't kill him. We have to wait until the child wakes up to see if we can extract the truth from him."

"And this. The mistress of the Wang family died suddenly at night. Her two children brought this petition by beating a drum outside. So far, there's still no clue."
