Chapter 144 This is what you deserve
Yuan Qing suppressed the bitterness in his throat and said, "Tell me everything, exactly as it happened. Don't hide anything."
Mu Xiaoxiao knelt down and spoke like this.
“After I dealt with the affairs of Yuzhou and returned to Jiangzhou, I heard about the affairs of the eldest young lady from the eldest lady.
At that time, the eldest young master's wife was locked up at home by Mrs. Lu. Young Master Lou went to the Lu family every day to ask for her, but Mrs. Lu was determined not to let her go.
Fearing that she would attack her daughter in a hurry, Young Master Lou suppressed his anger and did not alert the government, and continued to negotiate with Madam Lu. "
"Where are the Lu family's relatives?"
“After the public trial of Lu Jiankang, Madam Lu was driven out by the head of the Lu family, so only Madam Lu lived in the original manor. Without her opening the door, no one could enter unless they forced their way in.
Madam Lu knew that they wouldn't dare to do anything to her, so she held on to the eldest young master's wife tightly. "
There was no obvious emotion on Yuan Qing's face.
Mu Xiaoxiao continued, "We thought that on the day of Lu Jiankang's execution, Madam Lu would definitely be more concerned about her son. If we take advantage of her unpreparedness and secretly take Madam Da Shao out of the Lu family and let Madam Lou take her away overnight, maybe it would work.
But it happened so fast that we didn’t have time to implement our plan.”
She paused, "Because on the morning of the execution, the eldest daughter of the Lu family was thrown back to the Lu family's door in dishevel, with disgraceful marks on her body.
This scene happened to be witnessed by the eldest young lady who had just escaped. "
What happened next was completely beyond everyone's expectations.
The eldest lady's wife was so upset by Lu Pan's death that she rushed over to protect her sister like crazy and refused to let anyone touch her.
It was only when Lu Si came over and hugged her that she became a little more sober.
Lu Jiankang had been convicted and sentenced. Mrs. Lu felt hopeless and took out her anger on the three sisters.
Lu Pan's death became the main subject of criticism among neighbors.
Mrs. Lu stepped forward and grabbed her eldest daughter's body, cursing her with all kinds of dirty words. She directed all the insulting words at the dead Lu Pan.
The listeners were deeply moved, and this became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
When I woke up again, I was already in a confused state.
Because Lu Si knew the truth but did not report it, he was sentenced and sent to Xuzhou.
She came to the door of the Lu family wearing shackles, smiling sadly and crazily.
In front of all the villagers, she raised her hands and said loudly: "We sisters treated her like a dear relative and I even helped her bear the three years of punishment. But you all saw how she treated us. We sisters were all ruined by her. Don't you think such a person should be punished?"
She raised her hand and pointed at the crazy woman, who was her mother who gave birth to her and raised her.
Maybe it was really as she said, that the sisters were no longer in this world, and what was still alive was just a body without consciousness.
"Here is a letter from the prefect. My three sisters and I sever all ties with this woman. From now on, her affairs have nothing to do with us." Lu Si stood straight, looking down coldly, approached Madam Lu and said, "Your family is destroyed, and you have no descendants. This is what you deserve."
After saying that, she followed the jailer away without looking back.
Mrs. Lu was so angry that she sat on the ground crying and screaming, but no one dared to approach her. They all stayed far away, fearing that they would be offended by this crazy woman and bring something unclean home.
Everyone in the fourth branch of the Lu family went crazy.
Everyone thinks so.
Then, Mu Xiaoxiao learned the real reason of Lu Pan's death from Prefect Fang.
Lu Pan did not commit suicide out of shame for having an affair. Instead, County Magistrate Liu saw that the Lu family was in trouble and did not want to keep Lu Pan any longer. However, he did not want to be labeled a villain, so he schemed to force Lu Pan to death and slandered her for having an affair so that people would think that the fault was all Lu Pan's.
No one expected that County Magistrate Liu would be so bold as to commit fraud under the nose of Prefect Fang and even cause a loss of life.
She asked Prefect Fang to order a thorough investigation of County Magistrate Liu, to quickly obtain evidence, and to clear Lü Pan's name in front of her coffin on the seventh day after her death.
Yuan Qing held the corner of the table with his hands and asked calmly, "What about the back?"
"According to the original plan, Young Master Lou and his wife have already set off to the north. The child is left at the Lou family, being taken care of by the First and Second Madams." Mu Xiaoxiao straightened her upper body, "Master, give the order and let me kill that woman. If I keep her, I don't know how many more people will be harmed!"
"No need," Yuan Qing put his hand down, "Normative methods won't work to teach her a lesson. Let me think about it for a few days and I'll tell you."
Now that the court has absolved her of the charges, she cannot be punished by overt means. Otherwise, it would go against the government's approach and she would easily find an opportunity to turn the tables, which would then end badly.
To deal with such people, unconventional methods must be used.
Evil will be punished by evil, and she will not let her have an easy time.
Yuan Qing frowned and hid all his thoughts.
