After sending Jiao Rui away, Sui Han said with admiration: "Madam, this Aunt Rui's arrangement is really unexpected!"

Gu Qingyuan nodded: "Yes, she is a person with her own ideas. By the way, did Ji Wenyue say anything after I left?"

"Of course I said it! She insisted on coming to see you, but she was stopped by this slave." Sui Han paused, and then said seriously: "My slave really doesn't understand what Ji Wenyue is thinking! Is it just for a person? You still don’t know the real and fake son?”

"He has now determined that Li Shichen is her son." Gu Qingyuan said.

Sui Han curled his lips and sneered: "I didn't want Chuntao to come before, but now seeing Ji Wenyue like this, I think it's a good thing for Chuntao to come."

"Oh?" Gu Qingyuan raised his eyebrows: "How do you say this?"

"Of course, look at Ji Wenyue's painful and sad look when she found out that Li Shichen was not his son!" Sui Han said with a smile.

Gu Qingyuan saw it and poked Sui Han on the head: "Young girl, you are quite evil-minded."

"Does Madam think this is good?" Sui Han asked.

Gu Jin thought for a while and said with a smile: "Being bad to the enemy is good to yourself. Madam, I think Suihan's idea is very good!"

Things were quiet for Gu Qingyuan and Suihan, but not so good for Li Shichen and Ji Wenyue.

When Ji Wenyue came over to see Li Shichen with a food box, Li Shichen still behaved well. But when he heard that Ji Wenyue had no success and objected, he suddenly became anxious: "Failed! How could you fail! You Isn’t it awesome? Doesn’t my dad like you? Why didn’t he do what I said!”

"Brother Chen, the main problem this time is not your father, but your wife! She insists on suing your mother for innocence, and your father has nothing to do." Ji Wenyue said, thinking of patting Li Shichen on the shoulder to comfort her. He, but before she could put her hand on it, she was knocked away by Li Shichen: "There's no way? They're all excuses! Those are all your excuses!"

Li Shichen said, took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "I know, you just want to make this matter bigger so that my father can divorce my mother, right?"

"I...I didn't." Ji Wenyue's tears fell. She really hated Mrs. Chen, but she never thought about asking the master to divorce Mrs. Chen!

"Get out of here! If there's anything wrong with my mother, I won't be able to spare you!" After Li Shichen said that, he pushed Ji Wenyue out and closed the door.

Looking at the closed door in front of her, Ji Wenyue wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, turned and left.

After a night of silence, Li Shichen came to the entrance of Gu Qingyuan's yard early the next morning.

When Gu Qingyuan packed up and was about to go to the government office, he saw Li Shichen standing at the door.

Their eyes met, Gu Qingyuan frowned and said, "What does this mean, Prince? Are you trying to trap me here again?"

"Yuan'er, I beg you, please let my mother go!" Li Shichen reached out and pressed Gu Qingyuan's shoulders: "As long as you promise me, I will agree to whatever you ask me to do!"

Facing Li Shichen's sincere eyes, Gu Qingyuan smiled slightly and said, "No need, I won't let you do anything."

"If you don't agree, I will follow you wherever you go in the future!" Li Shichen said seriously.

Gu Qingyuan frowned: "Are you trying to annoy me to death in this way?"

"Not only that, I will make it impossible for you to do anything!" Li Shichen said seriously.

When Gu Qingyuan heard this, he said thoughtfully: "That is indeed a desperate thing! But since you are willing to follow, then follow, it will save some time."

"Save time?" Li Shichen didn't know why. But when he got to the Yamen, he knew why Gu Qingyuan said this.

"You...you actually sued me too!" Li Shichen looked at Gu Qingyuan in disbelief. He didn't expect this woman to be so vicious.

"It's not me, it's the shopkeepers you arrested." Gu Qingyuan said, glanced at Li Shichen who was being held by the officer, and walked to the hall.

Not long after, Pei Qingci also arrived, and at this time, the courtroom was already crowded with people watching the excitement.

When Pei Qingci passed by Gu Qingyuan, she noticed the jade pendant around his waist. It was a gift from her, and now it was hung on her official uniform by Pei Qingci in a grand manner.

But I have to say that Pei Qingci really looks like a prince when he wears jade.

Thinking about this, Gu Qingyuan thought about what would happen if this jade was worn on Li Shichensheng?

Finally, she frowned, feeling a chill in her heart - a waste of natural resources.

The public trial began soon. Mrs. Chen wanted to quibble, but the shopkeepers took out the boss. A mountain of irrefutable evidence was placed in front of Mrs. Chen, and she didn't even have a chance to speak.

When they arrived at Li Shichen's place, the evidence was even more conclusive. At this time, the mother and son lowered their heads, already losing face.

The people outside also started talking about this:

"Tsk, tsk, that's really cool! What are you thinking about coveting your daughter-in-law's dowry?"

"This Duke's Mansion is really eye-opening!"

"Hey! Did you hear that? Previously, Mr. Chen personally spread rumors that her daughter-in-law was having an affair with Prime Minister Pei. Now it seems that it can no longer be true."

"Why?"

"You are stupid. If it is true, does this prince's wife dare to allow a public trial? Since it is open to the public, it means that the person is upright and is not afraid of the shadow!"

……

Of course, everyone here supported Gu Qingyuan, and a few people said that since they were married, they were from the Duke's Palace, so what's the point of using a little dowry?

But the person who said this was scolded to death by the righteous people.

Finally, the capital order announced the verdict in public. Chen had robbed other people's money and was sentenced to return it all. He was detained for three months and could be redeemed with money. As for Li Shichen, the kidnapping was true and could not be revealed so lightly at this time. , was sentenced to work as a coolie in a vegetable market outside the city for three months.

Mrs. Chen was so angry that she cried in the hall, but the end was done. She could only ask Granny Zhang to go back to her parents' home and ask her mother for money. She also sent her servants to sell all the jewelry she could sell.

Only then did he collect two boxes of money for Gu Qingyuan.

Looking at the silver placed in the center of the lobby, Ling Cheng could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This case is finally over now.

Just when he was about to announce his resignation, Gu Qingyuan spoke: "Sir, I heard that it rained heavily in the north a few days ago, and the Yellow River has flooded, right?"

Gu Qingyuan remembered that the Duke's Mansion was very busy for a while, probably because of the floods in the Yellow River. Calculating the time, it should have happened recently.
