Cao Suixin, however, took advantage of the victory and looked at Yuan Qinqin: "Can't you produce evidence? It just so happens that the government officials are here. Let's go to the government office."
Regardless of whether the other party had evidence or not, Cao Suixin spoke first to suppress the other party's momentum. Then he took everyone to the government office. Just based on the people at the entrance of the examination room, all kinds of rumors could be spread.
So she planned to make a quick decision and take the person away first. At this time, Yuan Qingyu was also here, looking at the person in front of him, and wanted to take his sister away in a few words.
"It's just a little quarrel, isn't it?"
Cao Suixin smiled and said, "Take him away first, and take this Third Master Yuan with you. You are really arrogant, wanting to ruin someone's reputation. To you, harming someone is just a quarrel. The Yuan family really has good family education."
This sentence was heard three times in a short period of time. The Yuan sisters and Yuan Qingyu were also a little angry. And now the people from the government office have also come. Even if the people from the Yuan family are angry, they have to follow them to the government office.
The prefect sat high up in the hall, looking at the group of people below. They were all important people. They actually came here to cause trouble.
Those who had originally gone to see people off had basically already sent everyone to the examination room, and now seeing that there was something lively going on here, most of the people followed over.
"Who is here?"
Cao Suixin immediately stepped forward and said, "I am Cao Suixin, the Lady of Fuyou County. This is my eldest sister-in-law, and the wife of Fang Shaohua, the candidate of this year. We are going to sue the second daughter of the Yuan family for defaming her reputation in public..."
With a dissatisfied tone, she recounted the whole story, and then looked at the prefect with a serious face: "Sir, how should I judge someone who coveted someone else's husband and maliciously defamed her reputation?"
The prefect's eyes widened. Are all the fights between the rich and powerful families so direct? He personally took part in the fight.
"Miss Yuan Er, is that so? Do you admit the county lady's accusation?"
Yuan Qinqin's face was dark: "I'm telling the truth, what do you mean by malicious slander? It is what it is, I have witnesses, I have evidence."
I originally planned to use rumors to force this woman to resign, but now I want to bring concrete evidence to prove it. Let's see if she can resign, not to mention resigning. She won't be able to survive.
The prefect looked at the two groups below, one saying that the other was slandering maliciously, and the other saying that he had evidence. He couldn't help but frown. At this moment, Yuan Qingyu suddenly said, "Sir, we have evidence. As long as we can show evidence to prove that this woman was born in a brothel to cheat on marriage, it will be fine. My sister didn't slander anyone maliciously. Do you dare to look at the evidence?"
Cao Suixin snorted: "Look. If you have the guts, just show us the evidence."
As he spoke, he held Tong Ruyan's hand and comforted her: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, what's true won't become false, and what's false won't become true. You are the one who was personally presided over the wedding by my master and great-grandmaster. I still don't believe that they are more powerful than my master and great-grandmaster. Do you think you can deceive my master and great-grandmaster?"
Tong Ruyan was speechless because the prince and princess knew the truth of the matter. But at this time, she couldn't say it.
If she told it now, it would be a disgrace to her husband. So even if it was the truth, she would never admit it, not to mention that she had only been to the brothel and was still a virgin when she came out.
When the prefect heard that this was actually a wedding presided over by the prince and princess, his face turned a little bad when he looked at the Yuan family: "Okay, then you can show me the evidence. If the evidence cannot prove that this lady was born in a brothel, then you are maliciously slandering her."
"How to deal with malicious slander and defamation of someone's reputation? I believe that the people of your Yuan family are more adept at this than I am."
This was said as if the Yuan family was very good at it. Yuan Qingyu was so angry that he looked at the prefect again, and then looked at his second sister.
"Second sister, if you insist that Madam Fang was born in a brothel, then show me the evidence. I believe you are not someone who speaks nonsense."
Yuan Qinqin looked at Yuan Xiangxiang, who was helpless. She loved her sister, so when she learned that her sister liked Fang Shaohua, she sent someone over there.
After so many months, it was not in vain. I finally found a crazy woman and learned everything about Tong Ruyan, including that she had been sold to a brothel.
She had been planning to slowly spread rumors to ruin her, but she didn't expect her sister to be so impulsive. Fortunately, she had planned this long ago, so she made preparations for both situations.
"We have a witness in our family. I have sent someone back to invite the witness here."
There was even a witness, and he was so sure about it, could it be that he was just making it up? So the court fell silent, waiting for the witness to arrive.
Soon the witnesses arrived, two women, one old and one young. When Tong Ruyan saw the young woman, she raised her eyebrows. This person was really pretending to be crazy. If she found a chance, she would bite her to death.
It turned out that the person who came was Tong Ruxin, who had gone crazy in Xianyou Town. She was supposed to be dealt with, but she stuck to the same villager, and since she was already crazy, she was just kept in a random yard, which gave someone an opportunity to take advantage of her.
"Tong Ruxin greets the great master Qingtian."
Tong Ruxin? As soon as you hear this name, you know that she is related to Tong Ruyan. Cao Suixin frowned and looked at Tong Ruyan: "Sister-in-law, who is she?"
Tong Ruyan did not hide it: "She is from the same village as me, and it is thanks to her that I was able to marry my husband."
Cao Suixin was a little confused and didn't understand what this meant. Tong Ruxin had already started to talk: "She was sold to a brothel and is not worthy of Brother Fang..."
The prefect looked at Tong Ruxin's confident words and looked at Tong Ruyan with some doubt: "Madam Fang, I wonder if what this girl said is true or false?"
Tong Ruyan sighed: "Sir, you can tell from her name that she and I must know each other."
Yuan Qinqin was already shouting excitedly, looking at Tong Ruyan: "Admit it, you are a brothel girl."
Tong Ruyan frowned: "Miss Yuan, please don't rush to accuse me of untrue crimes. Speaking of which, the two young ladies of the Yuan family really hate me. They even found out about Tong Ruxin and didn't hide it from you. Tong Ruxin and I are from the same hometown and we grew up together."
Cao Suixin smiled: "Since you grew up together, both of you grew up in the countryside, you are innocent. You were falsely accused of being from a brothel, shouldn't you apologize?"
After all, these two witnesses are here to prove that her sister-in-law also grew up in the countryside
Yuan Qinqin snorted: "Didn't you hear what was said next? She was sold to a brothel, so she must have been born in a brothel."
Tong Ruyan took a deep breath and said, "Miss Yuan Er, this woman is from my hometown, but she is a lunatic. She hates me, so she imagined some things about me not living a good life. It is not the truth."
"I was not sold to a brothel. I was picked up by my brother. Now let me continue to talk about my relationship with her. She is from the same hometown as me and the granddaughter of the village chief at that time. She is beautiful and fell in love with my husband..."
He recounted what happened at the banquet, and now everyone knew how Tong Ruyan married Fang Shaohua.
When I watched Tong Ruxin, I suddenly felt that this woman was quite pitiful. She did so much, but by accident, she ended up helping others get married and fulfilling their destiny.
"So now you all understand why she hates me so much. Plus, after I got married to my husband, the village was broken up by refugees and many innocent people died. That traumatized her and made her crazy."
"It's hard for the two Miss Yuans to bring her to the capital for me. They really have good intentions. As for this old lady, I have never seen her and I don't know her. I don't know what she wants to say."
Everyone looked at the old lady in front of them. The old lady was a little embarrassed at this time: "Well, actually I'm not old. I'm only in my 40s. It's just that I work hard, so I look old."
The prefect snorted coldly: "Who cares whether you are old or not? What are you doing here?"
The old woman was stunned. "I am the mother of the brothel. These two ladies, let me testify that this lady was once a girl in our brothel. I am telling the truth, but I don't know if it is this lady, but there was indeed a girl who looked very similar to this lady who was sold to our brothel."
Cao Suixin glanced at the Yuan sisters with some disgust: "You are really well prepared. First you brought a crazy woman from the same hometown, and now you brought a brothel madam."
Tong Ruxin, who had always been called a crazy woman, finally couldn't help herself at this time: "I'm not crazy, I'm not crazy. I pretended to be crazy to save my life. If I didn't pretend to be crazy, they would kill me."
Cao Suixin rolled his eyes and said, "Do you know what you are talking about? That is the place governed by my master. How could anyone dare to kill people at random? Are you accusing my master of not being able to manage a county properly?"
Tong Ruxin didn't know Cao Suixin at all. When she heard this, she rolled her eyes and said, "Who knows who your master is? Besides, isn't it normal for a county to be poorly managed? Everyone makes mistakes, and it was the county magistrate who condoned it in the first place."
The prefect was speechless. Who was that? Although the prince had nothing to do and became a county magistrate, he must have done a better job than others, and it was even more impossible for him to condone others to hurt others.
"That's enough. I think you are really crazy and can't prove anything. And you, old lady, come on, do you dare to guarantee with your life that this lady is the girl you bought from the brothel before?"
The old woman was shocked for a moment: "How can this be fatal? I just said they look alike, how do I know if it's true?"
The prefect looked at the Yuan family and asked, "What do you two ladies say now?"
