After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

Chapter 336: Scandal in the Bo Mansion

When Mrs. Wan heard that he had only pushed a village girl, she felt relieved.

"My Lord, from what you said, it seems like this is just two girls playing around. It's not really a crime."

Madam Wan spoke with a hint of meaning.

The county magistrate sighed inwardly. In the past, he would have given the uncle's family some face, but now...

"Madam, you are wrong. This matter could be serious or minor, but since someone has reported it to the authorities, as a responsible official, I will definitely investigate thoroughly and seek justice for the victim."

The county magistrate spoke in a high-sounding and righteous manner, but Madam Wan did not believe him.

She was a legitimate lady of the Earl's Mansion and was very clear about how the government handled cases.

"Sir, although this is the case, it is indeed a minor matter. Why waste your time? How about this, my uncle's mansion mediates this matter and resolves it privately?"

Su Muan also spoke.

It's too much of an exaggeration to bring a little girl's playful behavior to court.

"An'er is right. My uncle's family is not unreasonable. Since the little girl was injured, my uncle's family is willing to pay some compensation."

Mrs. Wan spoke in a cold voice and with a high attitude. In her opinion, this approach was already very sincere.

The county magistrate hesitated for a moment and still did not agree directly.

"This case has already entered the court, and it is not so easy to handle. Madam, please do not embarrass me."

When these words were spoken, Madam Wan frowned.

How could a mere county magistrate be so ungrateful?

But having said that, she didn't insist any further.

Su Muan was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Sir, may I go visit Fang Qingya? We still need to verify whether she is my sister."

"Of course there's no problem with this matter. Mr. Su, go ahead. I'll send someone to inform the prison."

The county magistrate agreed immediately. If possible, he did not want to offend anyone.

After all, he came from a poor family and it was difficult for him to enter the officialdom.

The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, and only after Madam Wan and the others left to rest did the county magistrate call his long-time attendant and ask him to go to Zhou's house in Mushan Village.

There is also the family of Mr. Zheng.

Fang Qingya's case is not easy to judge.

backyard.

The little girl helped Madam Wan sit down, and the latter's face had darkened.

"A county magistrate in a lower county is quite stubborn."

She snorted coldly.

Su Muan, however, didn't think so: "This gentleman doesn't seem to be inflexible. Mother, I think there may be some hidden reasons."

"What kind of person could make the county magistrate so fearful that he wouldn't even give face to my uncle?"

Madam Wan's eyebrows twitched.

"How is it possible? How can such a person exist in such a small place?"

Su Muan didn't say anything. He also thought it was impossible. But he had to check it out anyway.

"Mother, leave this matter to me. I'm going to the prison to see Fang Qingya first."

Madam Wan sighed. She also had mixed feelings about her biological daughter!

After all, it was a piece of flesh that fell from her body.

"Well, you go."

"Mother, brother, why don't I go too? I want to apologize to my sister in person." Su Xiran, the little girl who had been trying hard to make her presence less noticeable, suddenly spoke.

Su Muan gave her a gentle smile.

"No need. The prison is dark and damp. You are weak, how can you go there? Just rest here."

"But... I've taken my sister's place for so many years, and I feel guilty. I want to make up for it." Su Xiran's eyes were red, and her white and tender little fingers clenched her sleeves, looking pitiful.

Su Muan couldn't help but feel a little distressed when he saw it.

"That nanny was malicious and deliberately switched the baby. What does it have to do with you? Xiran, no matter what, you will always be my sister."

Su Xinran nodded with red eyes, looking very well-behaved.

Mrs. Wan, who was standing by, had a gloomy look in her eyes. This little bitch was quite clever and had made her son run around in circles.

Zhou house.

Shi Junyan and his companions were somewhat surprised when they received the news from their long-time attendant.

"I didn't expect that little girl had such a background." Zhou Zijing was surprised.

The possibility of a wrong child being taken away, especially by a lady from a wealthy family and a farmer's family, is extremely low.

"Some time ago, a scandal broke out in the capital. It happened at the funeral of the old lady of the Bo Mansion."

"The old lady's personal nanny publicly confessed, saying that when the lady of the Bo Mansion was pregnant, she accompanied the old lady back to her hometown to visit relatives and passed through Huai'an Prefecture. The old lady had gone to a temple to ask for divination, and the divination said that although the child the lady was carrying would bring prosperity to the Bo Mansion, it would only harm the old lady."

"For this reason, the old lady asked the nanny to secretly find a pregnant woman. If two women happened to give birth at about the same time, they would switch the babies."

Shi Junyan said lightly.

Zhou Zijing didn't ask him why he was in such a remote place, but knew everything that happened in the capital.

I was just a little curious: "What a coincidence? Such a big secret, the old lady kept it hidden for her entire life, but it was exposed by the servants in public during the burial? Did she just lose all her dignity in life?"

It was more like it was arranged.

Shi Junyan had a calm expression and said nothing.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is something wrong here.

"No matter what, a prince who breaks the law is subject to the same punishment as a commoner." Zhou Zijing smiled and changed the subject.

Prison.

Fang Qingya was huddled in a corner in a miserable state, with a mouse passing by from time to time.

At first she would scream in fear, but now she just hugs herself and trembles silently.

Why haven’t the people from Bo’s Mansion come yet?

Did the Fang family save her?

She just pushed Fang Nanzhi. She was a native and a country girl. Why did she live so well?

And she is a time-traveling girl, and the real daughter of the Bo family should be a dazzling existence.

There are no windows in the prison, and no light can penetrate it.

Footsteps were heard from afar, and finally stopped in front of her cell.

A jailer opened the door with a key and said in a flattering voice, "Please come in, Mr. Su."

Su Muan was a little disgusted with the environment here. He covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief before stepping in.

Fang Qingya looked up and met his scrutinizing gaze.

"who are you?"

Fang Qingya felt nervous and had an inexplicable intuition that the person she was waiting for had arrived.

Su Muan looked at the girl, whose face was 70% similar to her mother's, and was stunned for a while.

The doubts in my heart were completely dispelled.

This might really be his sister.

"Qingya? I'm from the Bo Mansion." Su Muan said lightly.

Fang Qingya was excited, she had finally waited for it!

With tears in her eyes, she rushed forward and grabbed Su Muan's clothesline.

"Are you my brother? Are you here to take me home?"

Su Muan looked at her dirty hands with some disgust and took a few steps back.

"Yes. Qingya, you should be more polite. Men and women shouldn't touch each other. Let go first."

Fang Qingya's joy froze and she slowly withdrew her hand.
