The little girl was being hugged by a group of people. She did not know what had happened and could only hear chaos in her surroundings. The person who was hugging her felt her heart beat extremely fast. The little girl was holding Ye Xuan back of her hand, but when she touched his hand, she felt a patch of moisture. Bright red blood blossomed from her fingertips. Her heart trembled.

Everyone rushed up at the first moment and dragged the mad Lin Lanzhi to the side.

"Are you alright?" There was a tinge of tears in the pampered voice. She didn't even notice that her voice was trembling. She rubbed Ye Xuan's waist. Ye Xuan grabbed her hand, and cracks finally appeared on his calm face. With so many people looking at him, he said, "I'm fine, just a small wound."

The little girl didn't believe his nonsense. He had lost so much blood, so how could it be an injury? However, he was still able to move and speak with vigor. It was just that he had lost a little too much blood and his face was pale. The cute girl helped him to a chair and sat him down.

Someone clever enough to find a rope and tie up Lin Lanzhi and Wang Changgui. There were also women who took advantage of the chaos to strut around on top of them. Lin Lanzhi's face was flushed red, her hair was disheveled, and there was a bump on her forehead.

The lady in blue was terrified and couldn't help but charge forward to give her a slap. No matter what, she was once his mother-in-law, so she could still be so ruthless. But thinking about how Lin Lanzhi wanted to take her life, this action of hers was still considered light. If he was treated like this, he would at least use a knife to stab her back, and many of his daughter-in-law who were bullied by his mother-in-law would feel a sense of malice in their hearts.

Aunt Lin was also surprised, but Lin Lanzhi was a woman who deserved it. If it wasn't for her pride, she would have also wanted to give her a good beating to vent her anger …

Just as she was about to speak, the cute girl pulled down a rag from the side, grabbed her cheeks, and stuffed her clothes into her mouth. Lin Lanzhi's anger rose as she raised her head, wanting to throw out her clothes. No matter what, she was still someone of status in the village. How could she continue to be treated like this in the future?

The lady was neither sad nor happy as she said coldly, "You must behave yourself, otherwise I will tie you up and hang you in my room."

After hearing her words, Lin Lanzhi did not dare to move anymore.

The cute girl glanced at Lin Yang and said, "Take off Wang Changgui's clothes. "Hang him on the willow tree at the entrance of the village for two days. If he is not eaten by wolves, then let him go back. If he is eaten by wolves, then have his corpse collected at home."

Her tone was extremely vicious, and the crowd felt a lingering fear. They all thought to themselves, "Why is this little girl so aggressive?"

So what's to be done with Linnaeus? Having already used a knife and seen the blood, even if it was sent to an official, it would be a greater fault on her part. It was also possible that she could be sent into exile. In this era, people still had some respect for officials. When ordinary people committed crimes, they would coordinate them in the village or in the village, not daring to go to the government. Thus, in some remote places, there were many lynchings. Just like in the past, they had lowered the little girl into the pond. Therefore, the villagers were very afraid of what their young mistress was going to do next. Could it be that Lin Lanzhi was going to lose her life as well?

After blocking Lin Lanzi's mouth, the lady wasn't in a hurry to deal with it. She got Auntie Lin to find some medicine and had Lin Yang help Ye Xuan inside the room to apply medicine.

Seeing the little girl not say anything, Lin Lanzhi relaxed a little. She and Old Scholar Lin were cousins, and even if they were to marry each other, she didn't believe that he would be able to ruthlessly divorce her. It was definitely just a temporary explanation. Moreover, if word of the incident with the little girl spread out, she wasn't afraid of anything. On the other hand, the little girl, who would marry such a woman, especially if she had such a reputation? Thus, this matter would definitely not be leaked out. The little girl definitely couldn't do anything to her, so she could only let her go.

If it really didn't work out, then she would move to the neighboring county and look for her second son. As she understood all of this, Lin Lanzhi was not flustered, she could not do anything about it.

The torches illuminated the ancestral hall. The people began to discuss, but the little girl became quiet instead. Finally, the chief broke the silence and asked, "Little girl, how do you plan on dealing with this matter?"

The little girl looked at him coldly. She knew that he was planning on being the middleman. However, she had no intention of letting go of him. If she were to let go of him once, the next time she would stab him with a knife, and no one would help him, causing his death, who would be at fault? Even if he couldn't hurt her, what would she do with her younger brother and her sick mother?

While he's sick, take his life. Being too dainty would not leave a hidden danger for him in the future.

The chief let out a long sigh, knowing that this matter could not be easily resolved.

In the blink of an eye, it was over. Lady Jiao borrowed an ox cart from the village and pushed Lin Yun Zhi, who had been tied up, onto it, bringing Aunt Lin and Lin Yang with her as they headed to the county town. There were those who wanted to watch the show, so they went along with them, with torches in their hands.

The yamen's appearance was no different from the ones on the television previously. Both sides of the bar had knocked on the door, and a thin middle-aged man with a goatee came in and sat down. This was the county magistrate.

"Who do you want to sue?"

"This humble girl is my daughter, Lin Lanzhi."

When these words were spoken, the bystanders outside the yamen were shocked. There was actually someone accusing their mother-in-law!

The county magistrate was also very surprised as he asked, "Why did you sue your mother-in-law?"

The little girl slowly explained. From the death of her original husband to her abandonment of her fertile fields in order to sever their relationship, to her jealousy of her and her desire for a thief to sully her innocence. After saying this, the lady was affected by the emotions of her original body and started crying.

The crowd couldn't help but sigh upon hearing this. There was actually such a malicious mother-in-law in this world? The county magistrate slapped the wooden log and shouted, "This humble woman is Lin Lanzhi, do you have something to say?"

The cloth was removed from her mouth, and she immediately screamed out that she was wronged. The cute girl was indeed involved with another man. In the end, he just didn't say anything about him plotting against his mistress. The county magistrate wasn't stupid. Listening to her rambling statement, he frowned as he came to a conclusion. He slapped the log again and asked, "Are there any witnesses?"

At this moment, Madam Lin was shouting "I can testify" outside the court. In succession, other women who worked at Jiao's mother's house cried, they could testify.

When the matter was confirmed, the county magistrate threw out the command medallion and prepared to convict Lin Lanzhi, but she shouted out loud, "I am the Elementary Scholar's wife and my son is an Elementary Scholar. They are about to take the High Scholar's trial, how dare you convict me?"

As soon as he said that, everyone's heart tightened.
