Transmigrated Little Farm Girl Bringing Great Fortune

It really was her mother who started the fire.

Anita Mui's expression says it all.

Jiang Zijin's heart sank to the ground; her body trembled with excitement, and her face turned extremely pale.

There's no going back...

I don't know whether I should blame her mother or not.

Anyway, I harbor resentment and hatred in my heart.

Mei opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak.

Her face was filled with fear and shock. Who on earth wanted to harm her master?

Suddenly, she remembered the words Lu Qingyao had used to threaten the madam...

Lu Qingyao.

It must have been Lu Qingyao who stole the handkerchief.

She knows everything in the lady's room; stealing a handkerchief would be a piece of cake for her. There's no one else but her.

But words alone are not enough to prove anything, and no one would believe them if they were spoken.

Even so, she still held onto a sliver of hope.

She went to the dilapidated temple that day wearing a veil, so the beggars couldn't possibly recognize her. As long as she stubbornly denied it, they couldn't be convicted.

Mei Gu composed herself, stepped forward, and knelt before Judge Qin. "Your Honor, please forgive me. My wife was injured by your wife and has been recuperating at home recently, not venturing out of the house. She hasn't been to Tianxiang Tower at all, not even the servants have been there. The handkerchief and earrings shouldn't have been there..."

She paused, then continued, "Moreover, there are many such handkerchiefs in the Madam's collection. Someone must be trying to frame her, which is why they bribed the maid to steal the handkerchief and earrings..."

As she spoke, Mei Gu kowtowed to Judge Qin again, saying, "My lady is innocent, please investigate thoroughly, Your Honor!"

When Jiang Zijin saw that Mei Gu still dared to say such things, it meant that the beggar definitely didn't recognize her.

He chimed in, "Sir, these beggars are probably involved in this case. Why don't you ask them if they recognize my mother?"

Judge Qin's face darkened.

That sharp-tongued old woman!

It's obvious without even thinking that she ordered the fire. Those filthy lackeys, always resorting to underhanded tactics.

He waved his hand, "Bring those beggars over here."

The four beggars stepped forward, glanced at Qi Caiwei lying in the maid's arms, and lingered beside Mei Gu for a while.

Mei Gu tried to appear calm on the surface, but inside she was in a complete panic.

The beggar knelt before Magistrate Qin, trembling as he said, "My lord, the person who ordered us to set the fire was a woman in her forties. Her voice, build, shoe size, and the bracelet on her wrist all match..."

Another beggar chimed in, "That's right, those hands are exactly the same."

Upon hearing about the bracelet, Mei Gu's face turned green, and she quickly shrank her hand into her sleeve.

I left home in a hurry that day, only bringing a veil, which covered my headdress and earrings.

I didn't expect them to have such sharp eyes.

Upon seeing the bracelet, I was even able to identify the shoe size...

The constables understood and quickly removed Mei Gu's bracelet and shoe size.

Judge Qin looked at Mei Gu with a sneer, "Jade has no two qualities, what else do you have to say?"

Anita Mui still wanted to make a last-ditch effort.

"My lord, I am not convinced. Why should they say they recognize someone? They might just be making things up."

Judge Qin looked at the beggars and said, "Tell me, how does this match up with the law?"

The beggar knelt on the ground and said, "Sir, we commoners have been begging along the streets for many years and have seen all kinds of people, big and small. Over time, we have naturally developed the ability to recognize people. As long as it has not been more than a month, even if the person is masked, we can recognize her from her height, figure, walking posture and shoe size. If you don't believe me, you can find someone to try it."

Otherwise, why would they be considered to have the best information network?

Naturally, this has a great deal to do with the ability to recognize and distinguish people.

Mei-gu was already in a state of panic, and her back was covered in cold sweat.

My hands were bleeding from scratching inside my sleeves, and I was barely holding on.

To convince her, Judge Qin randomly selected a few constables, blindfolded them, and had them turn their backs so that several beggars could identify them.

Sure enough, one of the beggars recognized them all in less than fifteen minutes.

He raised an eyebrow at Anita Mui, "What else do you have to say?"

Mei Gu looked dazed and collapsed to the ground, unable to support herself.

Judge Qin waved his hand, and the constables came up to drag Mei Gu and Qi Caiwei away.

"My lord, this was done by our servant, Mei Gu; my mother was unaware of it."

"My lord, this was all done by me alone, and has nothing to do with the lady..."

Mei Gu and Jiang Zijin spoke at the same time.

Jiang Zijin only knew that her mother absolutely could not go to jail.

This will be a major stain on her life and will affect her future marriage prospects.

Mei-gu was unwilling to see the child she had breastfed suffer that pain, especially since her injuries had not yet healed.

However, Jiang Zijin still felt a little uneasy after personally pushing her out.

She raised this child herself.

Things had come to this point, and she accepted whatever punishment she faced, whether it was hanging or exile.

"Don't take Anita Mui away!"

Jiang Zipei, with a sudden burst of courage, rushed over and stood in front of Mei Gu.

All he knew was that he couldn't live without Anita Mui.

Jiang Zijin pulled him away and glared at him. "Jiang Zipei, have you thought this through? Do you want your mother or Aunt Mei?"

Jiang Zipei suddenly realized that he naturally wanted to protect both of them.

"Stop arguing. The prefect hasn't even started the trial yet. Your mother and Aunt Mei both need to go to the yamen. As for the verdict, the prefect will decide," Qin Tongpan said solemnly.

He doesn't care who goes to jail; he wants compensation.

This woman came to Jiangzhou and made a lot of money from dubious sources; we can't just take her away so easily.

They all have to stay.

Lu Garden.

Jiang Miaomiao was eating.

I had just taken a sip of soup when Aunt Xiuxiu came rushing in from the doorway.

He suddenly sat down next to her, startling her. "Cough cough..."

It almost choked me to death.

"Sister, they're back. Qi Caiwei and her family have been brought back by Judge Qin... They can't leave now..."

After taking a sip of tea, Aunt Xiuxiu began to tell her mother about everything she had seen and heard.

After saying that, he sighed, "Qi Caiwei is probably going to lose everything this time. The shops that burned down contained all sorts of valuable items. Does she have that much money to pay for them?"

Lu Qingyao nodded, "I went to the escort agency and checked. It probably isn't enough, but she still has a few shops, selling them should be enough to cover the losses."

Jiang Miaomiao: ……

Escort Agency!

What is Mother doing at the security escort agency?

Jiang Qiao'er kept eating her rice in silence and stuffed a chicken wing into the little girl's wide-open mouth.

Jiang Ziyan put down his chopsticks and listened quietly without saying a word.

Jiang Zifeng looked at Xiuxiu in surprise, "Auntie, do you mean that Aunt Qi started the fire yesterday?"

Everyone:…

He lowered his head and ate his rice.

What a slowpoke!

After finishing her meal, Jiang Ziyan finally asked her mother, "Mother, is there any progress on that matter?"

Many days have passed and there has been no news, so he is getting a little anxious.

He was preoccupied with this matter every day, thinking about his maternal grandfather, and he couldn't concentrate on his studies.

Lu Qingyao patted his head and comforted him, "It won't be that fast, be patient!"

This kid turns out he's also an impatient person...
