Chapter 695: Chapter 695: She is truly ruthless and ungrateful
Zhang Family was truly in distress now.
When Tong Sanlang was not involved with Qiao Xiaomai, she had been very fond of this third son.
How could she possibly not want Tong Sanlang to ace the Imperial Examination? She wished he could become the first in the country tomorrow!
“Sanlang, Sanlang, don’t blame your mother. This idea came from your second sister-in-law; it has nothing to do with me. I’m always hoping for the best for you!”
Tong Sanlang remained silent, his mind focused entirely on Qiao Xiaomai. This side of Qiao Xiaomai was too unfamiliar to him.
So unfamiliar that it hurt.
She had even pointed to his nose and said it included him.
When she went mad, she didn’t even recognize him anymore…
Qiao Xiaomai didn’t have time to worry about Zhang Family’s confession, the second daughter-in-law.
She immediately turned her gaze to Zhu Hongyun.
Zhu Hongyun was scared stiff when Qiao Xiaomai fed Zhang Family the Truth Elixir, she never imagined that Qiao Xiaomai dared to lay a hand on Zhang Family.
That was her mother-in-law!
Looking at how Sun Family oppressed Zhuang Lühe, it was clear that a mother-in-law was no different from a biological mother; she should not be messed with.
But what did Qiao Xiaomai do?
Qiao Xiaomai actually pinched Zhang Family’s mouth and forcibly fed her the Truth Elixir!
Qiao Xiaomai was trying to reach for the sky!
While she was still in shock, Zhang Family had already spat out the phase ‘second daughter-in-law’.
Oh my god! This Truth Elixir is truly divine!
At that moment, she almost jumped up, but thinking about the baby in her belly made her abruptly stop the impulsive move.
Yes, she had something in her belly, anyone who dared to make a move against her would answer for two lives!
However, although she thought so, the cold gaze from Qiao Xiaomai sent chills down her spine, causing her to stammer as she spoke, “Wha-What do you want!”
Qiao Xiaomai curved her lips, “Giving you two options: One, obediently come with me to County Town tomorrow to face the judgement of the county’s chief.”
“Tong Sanlang, you’re a scholar, well-read, tell us, what punishment will your second sister-in-law face if she goes to the County Government Office?”
Tong Sanlang clenched his fists tightly. Having heard this, he took a deep breath and started speaking, “It’s a crime known as false accusation and framing. Both Zhaodi and Yindi were originally slaves, so if the second sister-in-law successfully accused them, then Zhaodi and Yindi would be severely punished. So, the second sister-in-law’s actions are extremely egregious.”
“According to ‘Daqi Law’, she should be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of more than one year but less than three.”
Upon hearing this, the cold smile on Qiao Xiaomai’s face became deeper, “Zhu Hongyun, how do you option?”
Zhu Hongyun was already scared pale at this point. More than a year but less than three? Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novel·fıre·net
Did she have to go to prison?
Was her baby going to be born in prison?!
Qiao Xiaomai, noticing Zhu Hongyun’s pale face, continued, “Secondly, pay me ten taels of sliver, and go back to your mother’s house. Smash the kitchen in your mother’s home with your own hands, and apologize to me in front of your whole village.”
Zhu Hongyun was pregnant, she obviously couldn’t take this matter to court. This offer was intended to scare Zhu Hongyun.
Zhu Hongyun would definitely choose the second option.
These days, Zhu Hongyun’s family couldn’t have made ten taels of silver from selling braised pork and malt sugar. Zhu Hongyun herself also didn’t have that much silver, this ten taels of silver would definitely make Zhu Hongyun go broke, or even end up in debt.
And then there was Zhu Hongyun’s family’s kitchen.
Dare to conduct business in there using her recipe without her consent, did she really think of her as a sick cat who would not lash out?
She wanted Zhu Hongyun to smash this kitchen with her own hands!
And also to apologize to her in front of all the villagers of Zhu Family.
Heh, they dared to accuse her of lacking sisterhood and compassion, and being ruthless in her pursuit of wealth. Fine, she would be utterly heartless then!
