Transmigrating to a Female-Dominated World: Pampering My Little Husband
Chapter 41 Apology and Compensation
This Liu Jingyao truly showed her what it meant to be stupid, ignorant, arrogant, and hypocritical.
"I have heard your comments about me and my husband!"
"I wonder what crime this 'malicious insult and false accusation' is under the laws of Fenglin?"
Han Zixuan turned to look at Ji Xiao with a puzzled expression. This guy is a native, he should know that!
Ji Xiao, however, didn't understand and scratched his head, puzzled!
Han Zixuan was truly helpless; Ji Xiao had absolutely no understanding with her.
Just as I was about to give up, a gentle male voice came from inside.
"Those who maliciously insult, falsely accuse, or slander others shall, according to the law, be punished with flogging, with the punishment for the false accusation increased by two degrees."
The punishment of exile, penal servitude, and caning is three degrees greater than the crime of false accusation, with each crime limited to one hundred strokes of the cane and exile for three thousand li.
And compensate the victim with fifty taels of silver as appeasement!
Han Zixuan smiled and nodded to Ji Beichen, thanking him.
The two who spoke had evasive eyes and were inwardly flustered.
They argued for a long time that the other party was a proper husband and wife, and if that were the case, they would really be punished with caning and exiled.
"No, no, we didn't. It was... it was Young Master Liu who said it. It has nothing to do with us!"
They were educated women; if they were to admit this, they would have no chance of taking the imperial examinations again.
They quickly shifted the blame onto Liu Ning.
Liu Jingyao frowned, her face full of black lines.
Liu Ning screamed, "Ah, how could you possibly be Shen Qingxi's wife!"
"His wife was clearly an extremely ugly scoundrel."
"You...you must be an imposter!"
How could this be? This person must be lying on purpose! His eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.
Han Zixuan chuckled, but Ji Xiao spoke first, "Heh, that's really interesting. What you just said makes perfect sense."
You don't even recognize the person in question; you're truly ignorant and brainless.
"You..." Liu Ning gasped for breath, her voice trembling.
"I, Han Zixuan, am true to my word. It would be truly laughable for me to impersonate someone and try to deceive you!"
Does he really think he's some big shot and everyone has to defer to him? Liu Jingyao was surprised to see Han Zixuan so calm and composed.
I had a few guesses in my mind, could this really be Han Zixuan?
Undeterred, Liu Ning asked Shen Qing in a shrill voice, "Shen Qingxi, is she really your wife, Han Zixuan?"
Shen Qingxi felt a little more confident as she felt Han Zixuan holding her hand.
"Of course, this is my wife!"
Upon receiving the answer, Liu Ning panicked and secretly hid behind Liu Jingyao!
Han Zixuan is cold and aloof; she won't let these people off the hook.
Who cares if the young man who dares to show off and bully her is the heroine's brother!
"In that case, let's go to the yamen together!"
Liu Ning trembled uncontrollably as he hid behind Liu Jingyao. He didn't want to be beaten or exiled.
He only said a few words to Shen Qingxi, something he often did before.
How could it be so serious? Why is this person so meticulous?
She reached out and tugged at Liu Jingyao's sleeve, sobbing softly, "Sister...I...don't want to be hit!"
Liu Jingyao had very mixed feelings, even though her younger brother had spoken inappropriately.
But to be beaten and exiled for a few words would be too harsh.
He carefully considered his words and bowed to Han Zixuan, saying, "Lady Han, why be so aggressive? A-Ning is just a lowly man."
His speech was indeed inadequate, but it was an unintentional mistake. He was too young to know the laws of Fenglin.
Let's just let this matter drop and make a clean break!
I apologize to you and Qingxi on behalf of my younger brother.
Liu Jingyao had acted with utmost respect and humility; if Han Zixuan continued to pursue the matter...
Making things difficult for a man is rather unbecoming of a woman!
Han Zixuan sneered inwardly. What Liu Jingyao had done made her even more disgusted and repulsed by the female lead.
She, as the female lead, makes a mistake and advises the victim to forgive her; if the victim doesn't forgive, it's because the victim is not forgiving.
"What kind of bullshit theory is this? Oh, what Lady Liu said is truly unbelievable."
First of all, my wife and I do not appear to have done anything to offend you!
You guys came up here and immediately started by humiliating my husband.
Have you considered how those words might have hurt my husband? Have you considered that he is also a man?
Furthermore, some people draw conclusions without fully understanding the situation.
Is Lady Liu still a student? She still needs to take the imperial examination. What if she were to become an official and govern?
The people who will suffer from this injustice will likely be wrongly accused and killed!
Liu Jingyao felt a chill run through her body and looked at Han Zixuan in shock, "You...you...how could you say that?"
It was just a few words, a trivial matter. How could it possibly affect my future imperial examinations?
How can you assert that I would wrong the people?
If someone with ulterior motives were to overhear Han Zixuan's words, she would be finished.
Han Zixuan raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Does Lady Liu think it has nothing to do with us?"
Ha, so your younger brother is considered young and ignorant when he makes a mistake, and the wronged person is drowned or beaten to death?
Does Lady Liu really think this is a trivial matter?
Ji Xiao loudly echoed, "That's right! According to your logic, if you were an official, wouldn't you be a completely wicked one!"
"If I become a local official, then whatever you say goes!"
Honestly, she could even understand what it meant, yet this person surnamed Liu thought it was normal.
It seems my knowledge has increased again.
Liu Jingyao's chest heaved, but she still tried to remain calm.
"Ha, what you're saying is nothing but your own imagination."
"In that case, what does Lady Han want?"
With so many people gathered together, it was quite conspicuous, and the waiter in the teahouse had already noticed the unusual situation.
Liu Jingyao didn't want to lose face in front of more people, or hear Han Zixuan say anything else!
The only solution is to end the conflict between the two as soon as possible.
"Miss Liu, are you deaf? This young master beside me has just explained the law to you!"
Let's proceed according to the Fenglin Calendar!
She doesn't have any saintly kindness; if you mess with her, don't expect a peaceful resolution.
The people on Liu Jingyao's side all looked grim.
"Does this weigh too much!"
"They've already apologized, so why keep pressing them?"
Hearing this, Han Zixuan curled her lips. "Oh? You all think the Empress's laws are too harsh?"
"No...no...no, it's not heavy, it's not heavy."
How many heads do they have to be chopped off for daring to question Her Majesty the Queen!
Originally, this had little to do with them; it was all started by the young master of the Liu family.
They only echoed her words to curry favor, seeing that Liu Jingyao had gained the magistrate's favor.
Seeing that Han Zixuan was not prepared to let Liu Ning off easily, they did not want to be implicated.
He hurriedly cupped his hands to Liu Jingyao, "Miss Liu, we have other matters to attend to, so we will take our leave first!"
Please continue discussing your matters with this Ms. Han. Goodbye! Goodbye!
The two exchanged a glance, turned around, and hurried downstairs.
Only Liu Jingyao and her brother remained, confronting Han Zixuan and the others.
"Ms. Han, do you really not want to let my younger brother go?" Liu Jingyao asked with difficulty.
"Let it go? Oh, so I forced your brother to publicly humiliate and slander others?"
"Please understand, Ms. Liu, we are the victims!" Han Zixuan said, pulling Shen Qingxi to her side.
Liu Jingyao's expression grew increasingly gloomy; it seemed this matter was not going to end well.
He took out a fifty-tael silver note from his pocket and reluctantly handed it to Han Zixuan.
"How about we consider this compensation for you two?"
Han Zixuan gently took the silver note and examined it for a moment. "I accept the compensation."
Please, Lady Liu, personally teach this brother a lesson with ten slaps!
After all, caning is far too cruel!
