Chapter 521: Chapter 524: Upholding Justice_1
Unexpectedly, her mother suddenly came to visit her, and her happy life immediately came to an end.
Because, aside from hearing her mother lecture her daily about the grand principles of "three obediences and four virtues," she was often scolded.
For things like not respecting her own husband, not understanding her own husband, and making a fuss over trifles.
Alas, it made her feel the impulse to find a little wife for Qin Longyun. 𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘱𝘶𝘣.𝘤𝘰𝑚
Finally, yesterday she managed to send her mother away, but no sooner had her mother left than she was dragged into the room by Qin Longyun, and the battle raged on until late into the night.
Wuwu, her life was nothing but a capitalized tragedy.
Chen Yiling suddenly realized something was off with everyone’s expressions and asked in a lowered voice, "What’s wrong?"
Qiao Duo’er explained succinctly and, upon seeing Lord Qin’s expressionless face, couldn’t help but curl her lips.
She had already given Jiang’s Clan a chance, but since they didn’t cherish it, they could hardly blame her.
"Lord Qin, he is wronged and wishes for you to make a judgment on his behalf," Qiao Duo’er said urgently, pushing Sun Erhu in front of Qin Longyun.
This was the perfect opportunity to take advantage of someone’s power—she must not miss it!
Sun Erhu looked bewilderedly at Qin Longyun, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"What is the injustice?"
Qin Longyun asked expressionlessly.
After all, he had dined with Qin Longyun several times, but bystanders couldn’t tell at all.
It was then that Sun Erhu remembered what to say, "Today, I went to the Lin Family to deliver the betrothal gifts, and the chicken from the Three Livestock was found dead. The Lin Family deemed it an ill omen and requested to call off the marriage. I ask you, sir, to seek justice for me and find the murderer."
He was quite the wit, speaking without letting anything slip.
Qin Longyun nodded and personally examined the two chickens that had turned stiff, asking several basic questions.
"It can be confirmed that the chickens were deliberately strangled to death, and the timeframe is between the start of Sun Erhu’s ancestor worship and their arrival at the Lin Family. Anyone who had contact with these two chickens during this period could be a suspect,"
Lord Qin analyzed calmly.
"Lord Qin, Lin Xiaobao was pecked by the chicken, and there are feathers on his hand, the murderer must be him!" a man carrying the dowry quickly said.
If he didn’t make himself clear, he would end up at the Government Office.
After thanking the man, Qin Longyun continued, "Who is Lin Xiaobao?"
"He is my Child; he’s still young. If you have any questions, please ask me," Jiang’s Clan said, trembling.
"Is what they said just now true?"
Jiang’s Clan nodded, "Little Treasure indeed has chicken feathers on his hand, but he must have gotten them while chasing chickens at someone else’s house. He’s only five years old; how could he kill a chicken?"
Qin Longyun said indifferently, "Be silent, Lin Xiaobao, step forward."
Jiang’s Clan was anxious as hell, if Little Treasure revealed the truth, they were doomed!
But Lord Qin had spoken, and she could only keep silent.
Meanwhile, Lin Xiaobao hid behind Jiang’s Clan, not even daring to show his head.
"Lord Qin, Little Treasure is just a child, not used to such scenes and probably scared silly. Don’t take it out on the child," Lin Jinshun bowed and said humbly.
Qin Longyun acknowledged his oversight with good grace, "Indeed, it is the official’s negligence that frightened the child."
"You are too kind, sir," Lin Jinshun said, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
Could it just pass with a laugh? If so, he’d have to rush to the temple to offer incense!
Qin Longyun changed tack, "The Saint said, ’Rather demolish ten temples than destroy a single marriage.’ Let no one think that killing two chickens today is a small matter. These two chickens have ruined a family’s marriage, and that is an unforgivable sin. I will thoroughly investigate this case and provide everyone with an explanation."
