Chapter 275: Prefect Yan; Xiuping's Divorce

The old woman said, "Bah, you don't look that old, why are you talking nonsense?"

Wang Zongwang waved his hand: "Okay, why are you arguing? Xiuping, how did you make your mother angry again?" he asked Xiuping.

Xiuping wiped her tears and said, "My mother-in-law was upset that I got up a little late today, so she beat and scolded me, saying...I can't have children."

Wang Zongwang: "That's it? You can't have children anyway, and you blame your mother for scolding you.

There are three kinds of unfilial behavior: not having descendants is the worst. You've made me unable to hold my head up in this village. Are you wrong to say that?"

"Hey, how can you talk like that? Not being able to have children isn't necessarily the woman's fault. You might have your own problems, too."

Wang Zongwang got angry when he heard this: "Hey, I have a bad temper, you're talking nonsense, it must be her own tummy that's not working, it's her problem, who are you to meddle in my family's affairs?"

"I'm her sister, her biological sister, so why can't I control her?"

Wang Zongwang's eyes lit up: "What? My biological sister? Xiuping, you never said that."

"Come on, come in and sit down. We are all family. Mother, please entertain us."

When several people entered the house, Li Xin was so embarrassed that she couldn't bear to look at them. What kind of family was this? There wasn't even a chair.

As soon as they sat down, Li Xin said, "I came here today to take my sister away."

"Leave? Where to go? I spent fifty taels of silver to marry her. Fifty taels, plus her food, shelter, clothing, and other necessities over the years. How much silver is that?"

"If you want to take her away, you have to bring money."

Wang Zongwang has a very mercenary look on his face.

Li Xin knew this would be the result when she came, so she prepared the money.

"How much do you want?" Li Xin asked.

Wang Zongwang looked at her and held up two fingers: "Two hundred taels."

Xiuping gasped, "Two hundred taels? Are you really crazy? How can a little girl like her have so much money? Besides, I've given you all the money I earned from washing clothes for others over the years, and you still want two hundred taels?"

Wang Zongwang said sarcastically, "It doesn't matter if you don't have money. Then let your sister stay and be my mistress. If she gives birth to a son, I'll let you go."

Jinbao stepped forward and punched the guy, knocking him over.

Wang Zongwang's mother was also startled, but she was quick to react. She pushed Jinbao away and said, "Son!"

"Kill someone, kill someone!"

Finally, a few people were taken to the yamen.

The county magistrate was Gao Bin's disciple, whose surname was Yan.

Being an upright man, he investigated the whole story and found out that the mother and son of the Wang family were notorious troublemakers in this area.

Lord Yan sat in the hall and asked Jinbao, "Do you know what the punishment will be for hitting someone at will?"

Jin Baoyi bowed and said, "To answer your Excellency's question, although hitting someone is certainly wrong, I was acting in self-defense. It was because Sister Xiuping was being beaten by them that I had no choice but to fight back."

Lord Yan nodded, then noticed the badge on his waist and pointed at it, asking, "What's your badge? Are you from the palace?"

Jinbao nodded: "Yes, I serve the emperor, and this time I am accompanying my fiancée to visit her sister."

Lord Yan said, "It turned out to be a misunderstanding. The Wang family has always had a bad reputation. It would be bad luck for you to offend them."

Li Xin: "Sir, please be merciful and allow my sister to divorce that man."

Although it was a bit difficult for Lord Yan, he still agreed.

Wang Zongwang also agreed to the divorce, but still wanted the two hundred taels of silver.

In the end, Li Xin agreed to give him eighty taels, and he finally got the divorce certificate.
