Chapter 464: Chapter 422: Suing at the Magistrate’s Office

Sun Manqing mumbled, "Last time I met Liu Erni on the road, she started talking to me. I thought she was quite interesting, so... I kind of liked her."

Sun Wulin’s wife let out an "oh," realizing that he wasn’t interested initially, but after interacting privately, he developed a fondness.

This was quite normal. Sun Wulin’s wife was pleased.

"If Yu Xiaolian doesn’t leave in the next few days, I’ll prepare the betrothal gifts by tomorrow or the day after, and we’ll go to the Liu Family to propose marriage for you."

Sun Manqing hurriedly waved his hand, "Mom, this isn’t the right time to propose marriage. The Jiang Family is claiming they want to sue us, and at noon I saw Jiang Dingcai and Lu carrying Jiang Haifu out of the village. They might be going to the city to file a complaint.

Our family hasn’t resolved the lawsuit yet. If we propose marriage, Liu Family might worry about being implicated and refuse to marry Erni over here, what then?"

Sun Wulin’s wife frowned, "That’s true, let’s just wait for a while!

Do you need me to start making the wedding quilt for your marriage?

I’ll make one for you..."

"Mom, there’s no need for anything. By the time, my aunt and uncle will help me prepare. Since you’ve decided to leave, don’t worry about my marriage." After Sun Manqing finished speaking, he took the fifty taels of silver he just received and turned to leave.

Sun Wulin’s wife was shocked as she exchanged glances with Sun Manyun, and tremblingly asked, "Does this mean I won’t have this son in the future?"

Sun Manyun quickly comforted her mother, "Mom, you’re suddenly leaving, Manqing definitely can’t take it. He’s still young, don’t be like him."

Sun Wulin’s wife suddenly covered her face and started crying. At this moment, she began to doubt whether it was right to leave Manqing and Manyun behind just to return to the Northern Land.

That night, Sun Wulin’s wife almost didn’t close her eyes, and Sun Manyun and Sun Manyue lying next to her didn’t sleep well either.

When dawn came, they couldn’t resist the drowsiness finally and fell into a deep sleep. But just as they were sleeping soundly, they were awakened by a knock on the door, followed by Sun Mansheng’s voice coming through the wooden door.

"Mom, it’s bad, government officers have arrived at our house. The Jiang Family really went to the city to file a complaint. Quickly get dressed and come out." Sun Mansheng’s voice carried a hint of urgency and unease.

The three women inside the house heard Sun Mansheng’s words and felt uneasy as well, hurriedly putting on outer clothes.

"It’s over, it’s over, who would’ve thought the Jiang Family really went to accuse us to the officials. Yesterday some of your uncles reached out and hit people, what do we do now? Will all of our family be taken away by the officers?"

Sun Wulin’s wife had a terrible headache, not knowing whether it was due to sleepiness or worry.

Sun Wulin’s wife told Sun Manyun while putting on her shoes, "Go home, don’t get involved in this matter. If anything bad happens, the Meng Family will be displeased."

Her birth siblings and several uncles might be taken away by the government officers, Sun Manyun couldn’t just go home in peace and she was worried.

"Mom, I’ll go with you. When the County Magistrate tries the case, there has to be someone to listen, right? I’ll stand outside the Government waiting for you!" Not seeing her family safe and sound, she wouldn’t return to the Meng Family.

"No, you’re heavily pregnant, and just over a month left until delivery. If the County Magistrate orders the flogging, it might scare you. If there’s premature birth, it’ll be awful. Listen to mom, go back to the Meng Family, wait for news. Once we return from the Government, I’ll send Mansheng to the Meng Family to tell you." Sun Wulin’s wife forcibly sent Sun Manyun back, and before leaving, she didn’t forget to give Sun Manyun a ten-tael silver ingot.

Two government officers arrived at the Sun Family, one of them being Jiang Han.

Jiang Han felt rather unlucky, ever since County Magistrate Ma died, he went from being the cousin of the Luocheng County Magistrate to someone irrelevant in the government, losing his former status.

After years of building a relationship with the new County Magistrate, unexpectedly, the three-year term was up, and Luocheng changed County Magistrates again.

He sighed, everything had to start from scratch.

"Don’t be nervous, we’re just taking you to confront the Jiang Family in court, not throwing you in jail." Normally, when Jiang Han saw people terrified by the presence of government officers, he would mock them and scare them in hopes of gaining benefits.

Those he scared, whether guilty or panicked, often willingly paid Jiang Han and the officers for favors, hoping their family wouldn’t be troubled, or that the punishment wouldn’t be too severe.

Why was Jiang Han being so polite to the Sun Family?

As it happened, yesterday evening, when Jiang Family filed the complaint, the newly appointed County Magistrate Min Fengyi was drinking and chatting with his fellow student, this year’s new top scholar Su Jingchen, bidding him farewell.

Jiang Dingcai came to file the complaint just at that moment.

The new County Magistrate Min Fengyi was hardly settled in, and immediately had to try cases and make judgments.

Su Jingchen and Min Fengyi were close, so he sat in the court to listen.

Upon listening, he was shocked, finding that the complaint involved Yu Xiaolian’s fourth grand uncle’s family, accusing the Sun Family of daring to hit people because of their ties to the Yu Family power. Also claiming Yu Changhe exploited the villagers, earning dishonest income.

They even alleged that the Yu Family had a daughter who was a Ninth Grade scholar. Though it’s a small official rank, it didn’t stop Yu Family from acting recklessly.

Ninth Grade scholar? Daughter? Surname Yu?

Min Fengyi knew well that Su Jingchen’s wife was the renowned mathematics genius Yu Xiaolian.

Min Fengyi glanced at Su Jingchen but found him still with his indifferent look, it seemed his expressionless face only showed emotion before his wife.

Su Jingchen remained silent throughout.

Min Fengyi considered the time and seeing it was late, decided whatever needed to be done should wait till the next day. He let Jiang Dingcai take Jiang Haifu to a clinic to get treated.

He thought to ask Su Jingchen whether to favor them in this matter.

After all, Jiang Dingcai claimed that the Sun Family were relatives of the Yu Family, so if the Sun Family faced a lawsuit, the Yu Family wouldn’t be happy.

Just as Min Fengyi thought this might be the time to curry favor with Su Jingchen, Su Jingchen left only a sentence advising him to act according to the law and not to show favoritism, walking away indifferently.

Although Su Jingchen didn’t ask Min Fengyi to show partiality, Min Fengyi still decided to ’handle with discretion’ the matter of the Sun Family hitting people.

The Sun Family members were taken to the village entrance, only to find Village Chief Qi Lizheng was already there waiting for them. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Hey, isn’t the person standing next to Qi Lizheng look like the Su Family’s little servant? Isn’t it? I think it is!" Sun Wulin’s wife whispered to Sun Manyue.

Sun Manyue had seen Cao Gen before, as Su Jingchen always sent this servant to handle affairs.

"Yes, it’s him, his name seems to be Cao Gen!"

"Why is he here?" Sun Wulin’s wife expressed confusion.

Sun Manyue shook her head; how would she know!
