After hesitation, Jinghao asked the woman how long her husband had died and how long she was pregnant now.

After thinking about it, Chen Li said, "my husband died less than half a year. I was pregnant for less than ten months. I can't be sure of anything, but they just... That is, I was pregnant with a freak and took me..."

If so, Jinghao asks Chen Li why she doesn't go to her mother's house for help.

Shaking his head, Chen Li said, "I was married to the Chen family in another marriage. My mother's family didn't know me for a long time. Who can help me? I can only accept my own life. It's also a blessing for me to be saved today. Perhaps the heaven could not bear to see my child die without even seeing it in the world, so that the benefactor came here to save my mother and son. " With that, Chen and Li were ready to kneel down and kowtow.

She hurried to hold Chen Li's hand. Jing Hao felt that this matter could not go away like this. She should go back to report the case and seek justice.

In tears, Chen Li said, "Madam may not know. People in our village are surnamed Chen. The clan head is in charge of all affairs. The county magistrate can't intervene at all. He just collects some taxes on time."

How can you let it go? Jinghao looks at her husband and hopes he can speak.

Seeing his wife's eyes, ye Tamo said: "it's also a common custom. In some places, people only listen to the patriarch's words and don't hear the court orders. In order to facilitate governance, generally, as long as they don't affect others, they directly ask the patriarch to deal with them according to the clan rules. After all, they listen to punishment and plead guilty. If the court officials intervene, they will get into trouble, Sometimes the government may force the people to rebel. "

It can't be like this. Jing Hao thinks that since there are laws, there should be laws to follow. How can one place and one system.

Ye Tamo also encountered this kind of village in the war. A surname is not willing to listen to others. Moreover, generally, the county magistrate will have a good relationship with the clan head, and nothing will happen.

It's all a matter of human life. Isn't it a big deal? Jinghao feels that he can't just forget it. He must go back and find out this truth.

As soon as they heard that they were going back, Chen Li shivered and quickly refused, saying that if they were to go back, Chen's people would never accept themselves. They might as well go away with their children.

After looking at Chen Li's up and down, Jinghao said, "just like you, where can you go, the birth and upbringing of your children, and your own clothing, food, housing and transportation? Which one doesn't need money? Do you have it? If anyone dares to bully me, at least I will firmly hold my own in my hand. "

Ye Tanmo took a look at Jinghao and suddenly thought of the gold, silver and jewelry she had moved out of the palace. She sighed helplessly.

But Chen Li refused to go back. No matter what Jinghao said, she insisted on leaving.

Seeing Chen Li's appearance, Jing Hao couldn't persuade him anymore. He could only say, "then you really want to go. Where are you going?"

After thinking for a long time, Chen Li pointed to Jinghao's back and said, "go that way, there is a small town. My father took me there before. There is a tailor's shop there. My embroidery is OK. There should be no problem supporting myself and my children. "

There was a place to go. Jing Hao took some silver coins from the horse. It wasn't much.

Seeing the lady's move, Chen Li was very excited. He was a blessing in disguise. When he arrived in the small town, he could live in anonymity.

He took the money and said to Jinghao, "I have an idea. Tell me your story, and then I'll give you money as a thank-you. But I have one condition. All the stories must be true. If I find you cheating me, I won't give you a silver or two. "

Hearing this, Chen and Li considered it and agreed.

Again, he told Chen and Li not to lie, so that she could speak.

Ye Tanmo sat under the tree. Although he was not interested in the story of the pregnant woman, he heard all the words clearly because of his good hearing.

Chen Li said he still had a brother, but he didn't have a wife because of his poor family. Later, his father came to Chenjiazhuang and met his father-in-law. The two discussed. His father-in-law found a suitable girl in the family to marry his brother, while he needed to marry his father-in-law's son.

Although such blind marriage and dumb marriage are not good, Jinghao cares more about what happened later.

After looking at the horizon, Chen Li seemed to be thinking. After thinking for a while, he said, "but others say I'm a broom star, because my father-in-law died not long after I married. They all say I killed him."

"I also heard the story of 'lone star'. You're nothing." When Jing Hao saw Chen Li's sadness, she began to comfort her.

Because of the quiet words, Chen Li shook his mind. Then Chen Li continued to say, "but later, the prime minister died, and they drove me out."

"How long have you been married? When did your husband die when you were pregnant? How did he die? "

Looking at Jing, Chen Li said, "I've been married for two years. I haven't been pregnant for long. I don't know the specific time. Anyway, my husband died accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake in a month or two. It's been six months."

After listening to these, Jinghao probably understood the experience of Chen and Li. There shouldn't be much problem pretending to play tricks and frighten the ancients.

Chen Li Shi also seemed to see something wrong in Jing Hao's eyes and asked if there was anything wrong.

After thinking about it, Jinghao asked some personal questions about Chen's clan leader and the people who have the right to speak.

Now Chen and Li have no other way but to rely on the people in front of them. Moreover, the Chen family has cut off their kindness and righteousness, and she doesn't have to give up her money for them. Chen Li said, "originally, my father-in-law was the most important family among the people except the patriarch. Therefore, only with a good family can I find a woman to marry my little brother. It is precisely because there are many houses and fertile fields in my family that people covet and force me out of the Chen family. "

Jinghao listens to Chen Li's words and is angry, but fortunately, she can remember those people and say their names.

"In fact, the patriarch has always been afraid of my father-in-law, because my father-in-law has a high reputation, knows books and is polite, and has passed the scholar examination. So later, after the news of my father-in-law's death spread, I heard that the clan elders were secretly celebrating. There were also several clan uncles who, relying on their elders, always tried to seek benefits from my husband... "

It turned out that it was the same everywhere. Jinghao listened to Chen Li's complaining words and thought that if someone with the same surname and ancestry could gloat like this, he would naturally be cruel to a woman with a different surname.

Chen Li cried as he spoke, pouring out all his grievances since he married. He not only complained about the people, but also said his husband's indifference to himself under the guidance of Jinghao.
