Raising a Wolf as a Husband: Love Rivals Everywhere

Chapter 37 Three Proofs of Innocence

For Lian Yuyin to jump into the pit so consciously, Qu Mingyue felt no sense of accomplishment.Isn't it said that ancient women were good at house fighting and palace fighting?How did she come across such a good design?

Not to mention the mindless act of accusing her of murder, but even Yuyin stretched her neck into the noose in such a hurry, Qu Mingyue didn't think she looked like she was married to an official housewife.

In fact, this is entirely because Qu Mingyue overestimated Lian Yuyin.

Although she married into an official family, it is only in modern times that there are people who are officials and have no background. Families with real background will not accept them too quickly.Even the eldest son of the family is an official, a ninth-rank official, and she is the second daughter-in-law, and she is not loved by her sister-in-law at home. Why would the official wives bring her to a party?

When I was in the Lianjia, although I had to be around Mrs. Lian's side, the Lianjia was not a big family, and there were no scenes of more than a dozen concubines competing for beauty.The only mother of Lian Yurong is still a doormat type, why didn't the wife of the Lian family be so chic for so many years that she had a baby?

Apart from her self-righteous and arrogant temper, Lian Yuyin only learned superficially.

But Qu Mingyue didn't panic when she saw people being tricked. It was good to despise the enemy strategically, and it was not impossible for Coke to be extremely sad.So Qu Mingyue just wanted to make a quick decision.

"My lord, after a few months, it's snowing again. Even if the yamen guards venture down the cliff, how many things can they find? And the cliff is so high that it's really dangerous." Qu Mingyue's words can be said to be about the yamen guards. Our hearts go.Even in the beginning of spring, the weather is not much warmer, who wants to go down the cliff.If you miss your hand, there will be no bones left. It's not a loss. They are just dawdling in the yamen servants.

"Hmph, you're just afraid of finding evidence of your murder. Besides, if the cliff is as high as you said, why are you able to climb it?" Seeing Qu Mingyue preventing the servants from going down the cliff, Lian Yuyin felt a little elated.It was decided that Qu Mingyue was afraid.

Although Mrs. Lian hadn't fought for a long time, she couldn't help being surprised by Qu Mingyue's expression. She hurriedly tore her daughter's clothes, trying to stop her from saying anything. They probably had no chance of winning this battle.

Seeing Mrs. Lian's little move, Qu Mingyue sneered in her heart.I just woke up now, but it was too late.

"My lord, although the women did not climb the cliff directly, but the path is full of strange rocks, ordinary people can't walk. Instead of letting the servants take risks, it is better to let the women prove their innocence." Qu Mingyue's self-confidence Manman made the county magistrate feel a little timid, so he waved to the master and wanted to discuss it.

The master sighed, resigned himself to the county magistrate and whispered.My lord, you have already settled down.Now I'm afraid I have to follow the girl's wishes and just let this matter go.

In front of such a person, do you want to beat him into a trick?

But where is the county magistrate willing?Not to mention exonerating Qu Mingyue in public, he lost all face and face, just because he failed to complete the task entrusted by Lian Yuyin and offended the secretary, he will suffer when he goes to Beijing to report on his duties someday.

But Qu Mingyue didn't wait for the two of them to discuss, who knows if they would come up with any ideas that would be unfavorable to her.Tactically, we must look high on the enemy.

"The reason why Minnv can walk the cliff on the steep road that ordinary people can't walk is entirely due to the kung fu learned by Minnv since childhood. This is a proof."

This point was naturally explained to the people behind him.

"Aside from self-certification, the Minnv also has other witnesses. Please send a government servant to invite the young Marquis, who was the Marquis of the Wu Army, to testify for the Minnv. This is the second proof."

Wu Junhou said the three words, and he really suppressed the anger of the county magistrate who was interrupted for discussion.Seeing the changes in the county magistrate's expression, it seemed that he was considering whether Qu Mingyue's words were true or false.But no matter what, at the moment, he didn't dare to confront Qu Mingyueming.

After hearing Qu Mingyue's words, Lian Yuyin couldn't sit still even if Mrs. Lian pushed her.

"Young master? You said you would invite the young master? You don't even look at you..." Lian Yuyin's voice was piercing like a devil's voice, but Qu Mingyue smiled, and a piece of silver flew out of her hand. It shot out and hit Lian Yuyin's acupoint - this method of hitting the acupoint with internal force, she can ask Xiao Yunqi a lot for advice.

I saw Lian Yuyin's lips moving, but there was no sound at all.But everyone saw Qu Mingyue smiling alluringly, stepped forward to pick up the broken silver and put it back into his pocket.

Then he continued, "There is a third proof, my lord, please send someone to invite the Lord of Thunder Eagle Castle. I have explained everything to him that day, and he can testify that everything is just a mistake."

When saying this, Qu Mingyue stared at the mother and daughter of the Lian family with dark eyes.Lian Yuyin, who was anxious and fiddling with gestures, now dared not move at all.

The meaning of these words is obvious.

Qu Mingyue casually threw a piece of silver, which already made Lian Yuyin lose her voice, which shows that her martial arts are not weak.And the name of the little marquis is enough to make the county magistrate fall to her side. How can a little secretary compare to the little marquis?

In the end, Qi Luochen's name could make the Lian family shut up.Especially what Qu Mingyue said was so vague that people couldn't figure out what exactly she said to Qi Luochen. Lian Yuyin had to wonder if she was encouraging Qi Luochen to anger their Lian family.

You know, the kidnapping of Lian Yurong really has nothing to do with them.At most, at most, they neglected her a little after getting the medicine.But who would have thought that such a thing would happen just by sending a relatively small number of people to marry off?

They were going to give off a marriage, not to fight, who knew it would be so dangerous!

For a while, everyone shut up.Waiting for the county magistrate.But the magistrate looked at Qu Mingyue's leisurely expression, and couldn't help but start to panic.

Upon closer inspection, this girl is really beautiful.She is much prettier than the eldest lady of the Lian family. The county magistrate just thought of this, and couldn't help being startled. Could it be that this is the young lord's confidant?

Can't help but make gestures with the master and let him think about it.And the master is obviously much smarter than the county magistrate.Seeing the county magistrate's signal, I turned a corner in my heart. I'm afraid this is something that is almost inseparable.

Look at that girl's clothing, how can a countryman afford it?Even though there is no luxurious jewelry, it is still not complete because I was in a hurry in the morning and didn't have time.

"The facts of this case have already been clarified by both parties, and I understand it. The Lian family has no direct evidence to prove that Qu Mingyue killed Lian Yurong. So, I will make a decision after verifying what Qu Mingyue said is true or false." .Qu Mingyue is not allowed to leave the county in the near future, otherwise it will be regarded as absconding in fear of crime, do you know? Retire!"

As soon as the county magistrate finished speaking eloquently on the phone, he knocked on the gavel and walked away.

A case of 'murder for money' that made everyone frightened and scolded, just let it go.

Even the county magistrate went to Xiao Yunqi for verification.Qu Mingyue was not prepared to ask more questions.Anyway, if the county magistrate really asked, Xiao Yunqi would definitely testify for her.And Qi Luochen?Hehe, the little turtle is still in her hands, how could Qu Mingyue be afraid that he would 'not tell the truth'.

It was almost noon when the two of them left the yamen, fearing that Xia Lin and the others at home would be worried, so they casually ate a couple of wontons, and hired a carriage to drive back.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, someone greeted them.But it was the school teacher Ran Qingsheng who hadn't seen him for a long time.

Originally, Qu Mingyue and Qu Mingyue were sitting in the carriage and didn't notice Ran Qingsheng. It was Qu Mingyue who heard Charlene's voice and raised the curtain of the car, and then saw the two of them standing together and talking.

He couldn't help but got out of the carriage and settled the bill.

"Sister Mingyue, are you alright?" Seeing Qu Mingyue getting off the carriage, Charlene was so happy that she almost cried.This half a day has given her enough to worry about.And Ran Qingsheng, who heard the news, even made Uncle Quan look at the school.I came alone to ask about the situation.

I didn't want to just meet Charlene who couldn't sit still and wanted to visit the city.

The two of them were just about to walk together before they reached the entrance of the village. Unexpectedly, this person came back unscathed.

"It's okay, Sister Xia. It's really okay, it's a mistake." Qu Mingyue didn't want to talk about Lian Yuyin's pickled thoughts, but said it was a mistake, comforted Xia Lin, and then thanked Ran Qingsheng.

Although she didn't know why the teacher who only met a few times came to visit her.But courtesy is inescapable.

After giving a blessing, he said, "Mr. Lao is thinking of you."

Ran Qingsheng also breathed a sigh of relief, but when facing Qu Mingyue, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed in his heart, that he was going to the yamen to save people in such a rampage.

It was just too in line with his usual temperament.You said he is almost thirty, why is he still acting like a kid?

However, Mr. Mian still had a gentle appearance and just said no.should.

He said that he saw Qu Dongyan going to class in the future, and wanted to ask about it. Hearing about it, he just tried his best.

A few people chatted and walked towards the Qu family's mansion. At this time, the whole village already knew a little about the reason why Qu Mingyue was taken away.Seeing her come back safe and sound now, some are relieved, some have other guesses...

But it's not that Qu Mingyue cares about it.

When they came to the door, Charlene stopped Qu Mingyue from letting her in.Then he walked in quickly, and after a while, a brazier was brought over, and beside him was Granny Qiao who was leading the hill.

"Come on, quickly step over the brazier and get rid of bad luck." Charlene greeted Qu Mingyue.

She naturally doesn't believe this, but she won't refute anything, step over the brazier, and ask for peace of mind.

A group of people happily entered the room, and when they heard that they had made a mistake, Grandma Qiao didn't ask any more questions.Several people were so worried that they couldn't eat. Now that Qu Mingyue came back, he naturally wanted to cook by himself.Is it a celebration of being safe and sound?

What's more, Ran Qingsheng is still here, and he is always a guest.

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, the Qu family's mansion was calm, and there was no sound from the county magistrate.I don't know whether I asked or not, but Qu Dongyan was worried at first, and Qu Mingyue persuaded him several times.But after a long time, no one remembered it anymore.

As for the discussions behind the scenes in the village, Qu Mingyue didn't care.

On the contrary, it was Qu Dongyan who almost started fighting with his classmates because of this matter in school.

And the other party was none other than that kid from the Qi family, Qi Zheng.

He probably just listened to his tongue-twisting mother chew a few more words, so he was talking nonsense in the school.He also wanted to humiliate Qu Dongyan, ashamed of being 'humiliated' by Qu Mingyue before.

Fortunately, Ran Qingsheng stopped him in time. Although Qu Dongyan is exercising very well now, he would never lose to a guy with no flesh, but the mother of the other party is relentless.

And Ran Qingsheng was naturally on Qu Mingyue's side, and Qi Zheng said nothing, so he naturally received a lot of preaching.

Although Qu Dongyan was angry, he was only thinking about when to teach Qi Zheng a lesson, but he didn't want to make trouble in front of Qu Mingyue.Because, Qu Mingyue didn't know that someone would make trouble during today's spring plowing.

The plan for a year lies in spring, so this spring plowing is an essential activity.

They are all presided over by the person in power of the landlord's family, and it turns out that Qu Mingyue is a woman.Li Zhengben was afraid that Qu Mingyue would insist on asking her to come, so he didn't know what to do.If a woman presided over the spring plowing, what kind of seeds should be sown and what should be harvested in autumn?

It's just that when a group of people completed the sacrifice and the tenants lined up to receive the seeds, something happened.

When Li was opening the warehouse for storing grain seeds, the grain seeds in the front cabinets were fine, but as soon as he walked to the back two cabinets, he saw that there were wars inside, creaking and rattling.

Li Zheng's expression changed.Hastily opened the cabinet.I saw a few mice rushing out of the closet and fleeing for their lives amidst the screams of several women.

And the seeds in the cabinet have mostly become empty shells.

"Oh, what's wrong with this, it's a mouse." Lizheng let out a moan.Quickly ask a few men to bring a basket, quickly pour out all the seeds in the cabinet, and tidy up to see how many are left intact.

Seeing this situation, Qu Mingyue didn't say much.Just go to the side to look at the cabinet.

"Sister?" Qu Dongyan came forward, watching Qu Mingyue check the cabinet up and down, feeling a little puzzled.

"The cabinet is intact." Qu Mingyue looked at it and said softly.This place to put food, let alone seeds, is naturally the top priority.So just seeing the mouse, Qu Mingyue felt that things were not that simple.

Li Zhengdu has presided over this matter for so many years, how could there be such a big mistake?

Qu Dongyan is not a fool either, Qu Mingyue said a little bit, and he understood in his heart.Can't help but think about it.

"Boss, boss, look at this..." After checking the quantity, Li Zheng came forward.His face is miserable, this is also the first time he has made such a mistake, and it was just when he changed to a new owner, wouldn't this kill him?

Lizheng trembled all over, and said, "There are almost three acres of seeds missing, the master..." He had no face to go on.

On the official side, they only sold the grain seeds to them after seeing the land deed.Even if you can buy some seeds outside, not to mention whether the quality is good or bad, whether it is adulterated or not, even at that price, it has to be twice the price of public grain.

And the quantity is also limited. After all, the government has policies, so who can buy them at high-priced places?

"Is it okay to buy it again?" Qu Mingyue had some guesses in her heart, but she didn't say it directly.It is the best policy to deal with the matter of seeds now.

It's embarrassing on the inside, please ask Qu Mingyue to come to the side and talk about the grain.

"It's not that you can't buy it at all, it's just that the price is expensive and the quality is not guaranteed. Moreover, it is very risky to trade on the black market."

Qu Mingyue naturally knew that the present must not be as convenient as the later generations, but she never thought that it would be so troublesome.

She couldn't help but tell the truth, "That mouse must have been put in on purpose." Qu Mingyue's voice was calm, but Li Zheng's expression changed drastically.But fortunately, he is also a well-informed person, and he didn't shout.

He just frowned like a ravine, and said, "But the key to the warehouse is in the hands of the old man, and has never been given to anyone else. Who can come in and release the mice?"

It is true that the four walls of this warehouse are well built, and there is no sign of prying open the door locks and cabinet locks.

But for Qu Mingyue, the locks of this era are still too simple.Even in later generations, isn't it true that many safety locks have been thoroughly researched by a certain person?

"There are many ways to open the lock without a key, right?" Qu Mingyue mentioned it lightly, and Lizheng's complexion became even worse.He naturally understood this, but he never thought that such a thing would happen in his village.

"Then now..." Lizheng swallowed involuntarily, probably the people in the village did this.It's not good to find out who it is.

But Lizheng couldn't help being angry in his heart, what a shame.The people in my own village actually harmed my own villagers. Aren't they all neighbors? How could they annihilate their conscience like this?

"For the time being, let's deal with the sowing. Let everyone take the seeds back first. There is no delay in the sowing. Please ask Lizheng to send someone to buy the seeds that are missing. It doesn't matter if you spend a little money, safety is the most important thing."

Naturally, Qu Mingyue didn't want to be branded as buying and selling, so he had to rely on Li Zheng, a local, to plan and sell in secret.

But I didn't want to, just as the negotiation was concluded, villagers rushed in from outside in a hurry, saying that it was the magistrate's carriage.
