The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 977 Everyone Has a White Moonlight (44)

The word "wishful thinking" stripped Wei Qingning's face off, and Wei Qingru uncovered all his secret thoughts.

Her face flushed and she wanted to argue with the other party, but the family affairs had not been dealt with yet.

I can only take care of one thing first.

When the mother and daughter of the Li family were arguing "happily", Wei Qingning pushed the door open, stood in his own yard, and watched the mother and daughter who were about to fight.

The first thing Li Yue'er did when she saw Wei Qingning was to cover her chest and pretend to be weak out of habit: "Miss Wei, is there anything you didn't take? Why did you come back so early today?"

After all, Li's mother had some life experience, so she didn't take it seriously at first. But when she saw Wei Qingning and some stall tools in the corner, she understood the cause and effect of the matter.

This girl named Wei probably didn't set up the stall today, and it's very likely that she came here just to catch them.

What a mistake! She didn't even notice these tools when she saw them just now.

"Don't pretend. She didn't set up the stall today." Li's mother said to Li Yue'er with a gloomy face, "The girl surnamed Wei should have seen your behavior just now. There is no point in saying anything more."

Li Yueer frowned slightly, looked at Wei Qingning for a while, and then said, "Little girl, what if you know? We are indeed Chu Hanzhou's grandmother and mother, but it is not convenient for him to recognize us now.

I advise you to keep us well-fed and well-served. When the time comes and our identities can be made public, I will let my son become your concubine.

Forget about the position of the principal wife, Miss Su will also be my son's wife."

"Concubine?" Wei Qingning felt that she had no idea what was wrong with these two people's brains. She provided them with food and shelter, but in the end, these two people actually wanted her to be their concubines.

"Bah! No matter who your son is, I won't be his concubine!" Wei Qingning said angrily, "I think you are just swindlers."

"Tell me, who is the leper!" Li Yue'er's temper also flared up, "You invited us back yourself, how can you say we cheated you!"

Wei Qingning didn't waste any time talking to them. He directly called the people outside the door, trapped the Li mother and daughter, stuffed cloth in their mouths, and sent them to see the officials.

In this way, the mother and daughter of the Li family were brought to the government office in Shangcheng.

"Who is kneeling in the hall?" Lord Zhao slammed the gavel, "Who is the plaintiff and who is the defendant! Someone come and state the case."

The mother and daughter of the Li family were now gagged and were being held in court, so naturally it was Wei Qingning who had to explain the details of what had happened.

"Sir, these two people lied that they were relatives of Master Chu Hanzhou, saying that they had a conflict with him and had nowhere to go for the time being." Wei Qingning paused and continued, "I happened to have met that master a few times, so I took them in temporarily.

I thought I could have a good relationship with Master Chu, but I found out this morning that they were fakes, so I sent them to the authorities."

When the Li mother and daughter heard this, they immediately shook their heads wildly.

Lord Zhao signaled to the yamen runners beside him to take the cloth out of the two men's mouths.

"Sir, my wish! I am not lying. I am really Chu Hanzhou's biological mother." Li Yue'er couldn't care less about so many things at the moment, because fraud and deception are serious crimes.

Before Emperor Taizu became a bandit, he was an ordinary farmer. Later, he was defrauded of all his wealth by a swindler and had no choice but to become a bandit.

It was a time of chaos and heroes were made by the times. After Emperor Taizu ascended the throne, he defined fraud and deception as serious crimes.

Once such a crime is proven, no matter how much money has been defrauded, the first thing to do is to be punished with twenty lashes of the stick.

So when Li Yueer heard Wei Qingning accuse her of fraud right away, she became so anxious.

She is over 40 years old, and her mother is almost 60. It is hard to say what will happen to her after these 20 strokes of the cane, but her mother may very well die.

The worst thing is that in order to "make the scammers realize their mistakes", these twenty "punishment sticks" require them to take off their pants.

For some people, the injuries may not be fatal, but the shame of having their pants taken off in public is enough to make anyone unable to hold their heads up.

Of course, Mother Li also knew this. Although she spoke a little slower than Li Yue'er in her defense, she said, "Sir, please understand! We are really Chu Hanzhou's relatives. I am his grandmother, and my daughter is his mother."

Lord Zhao frowned slightly, and then instructed the yamen runner beside him: "Go to Qingfeng Academy and invite Master Chu over to recognize the person."

Then, as if he had thought of something, he reminded: "If Master Chu is teaching, wait for him. Also, when you invite someone, be polite."

"Yes, sir." The bailiff accepted the order.
