Traveled through time and space to become a widow, and became rich with her three children

Chapter 81: Adultery Has Always Caused Death

Lin Sheng looked at Xiao Hua and started to cry when she said this. He said anxiously, "Why don't you tell me when the time comes? It's really uncomfortable to tell me half of the story and leave the other half."

Xiaohua then said, "One day, Chen Da was out for something, and Chen Er came to borrow something. Seeing that I was the only one home, he took the opportunity to rape me."

Xiaohua started crying after she finished speaking. Jin Yuyao believed the first part, but found the latter part a little hard to believe. Since he raped her, how could he have maintained an improper relationship with her for so many years?

County Magistrate Lin also didn't believe it: "Then how did Chen Da die?"

Xiao Hua said with tears on her face: "Our affair soon became known to all the neighbors, and it also reached Chen Da's ears. After Chen Da found out, he beat me up. I was very sad, and Chen Er came to comfort me at this time.

Over the years, I have been wanting Chen Er to have a showdown with Chen Da. I don’t want to be so secretive anymore. I want to be with Chen Er openly, but Chen Er always just waits.

When he came to comfort her, I lied to her and said I was pregnant. I hoped he would take me away as soon as possible, but he kept making excuses. I gave him an ultimatum, and he suggested to go all out. Chen Da happened to be taking medicine, so I poisoned his medicine.

I agreed in a daze at the time, but who knew that Chen Da didn't eat it that day. When Chen Er came to collect the body, Chen Da woke up and they started fighting. I saw that Chen Er was obviously no match for Chen Da, so I picked up a stick next to me and hit him.

Who knew that the stick would hit Chen Da's head and make it bleed, and he turned around and kicked me down.

At this time, Chen Er grabbed Chen Da's neck. Chen Da resisted at first, but then he gradually lost his breath.

County Magistrate Lin asked in confusion, "Then how did you two become connected to Huichun Hall?"

Xiao Hua explained while crying, "Chen Er went to Huichuntang originally intending to buy some medicine powder to cover up the bloodstains on Chen Da's head and the marks on his neck. When the owner of Huichuntang heard about it, he gave Chen Er 100 taels of silver and told him to go to Xinglintang to extort money. This way he could get double the money, and Chen Er was tempted.

Who knew that Doctor Jin would not report the incident to the authorities? This is how the incident happened."

At this time, the yamen runner came up to report: "The sir has finished beating the fifty lashes."

County Magistrate Lin said, "Bring him up here."

The yamen runners carried the unconscious Chen Er up.

As soon as the yamen runner let go, Chen Er fell to the ground.

County Magistrate Lin looked at Prince An in a flattering manner.

Prince An said coldly, "Splash it on him to wake him up."

County Magistrate Lin waved his hand, and the yamen runners went down and quickly came back with a bucket of water, pouring it directly on Chen Er.

Chen Er woke up in pain and saw that he was still in the court. He grinned and said, "You are such a bitch. I didn't expect that I would fall into your hands."

Xiaohua crawled to Chen Er's side and said, "Chen Er, just plead guilty. This way, the official can give you a lighter punishment."

Unexpectedly, Chen Er spat and said, "It was you, bitch, who seduced me. Otherwise, even if I had a good family, I wouldn't have ended up like this. It's all your fault, bitch. You look like a bitch. If it weren't for you, how could I have killed my eldest brother?"

Xiaohua looked at Chen Er in shock.

County Magistrate Lin said, "Since ancient times, adultery has led to death. You have proved this. Chen Er, you plead guilty."

Chen Er kept smiling and refused to admit his guilt.

County Magistrate Lin sentenced Chen Er and Xiaohua to death for intentionally killing people and framing others. The owner of Huichuntang instigated others to cover up the truth and bribed officials in an attempt to frame Jin Yuyao, and was sentenced to three years in prison.

"Wang and Yunniang accepted bribes to give false testimony. Their money was confiscated and they were given twenty lashes of the cane as a warning to others."

After hearing this, the two men knelt down and cried, "Master, please have mercy on us. We were just possessed by the devil for a moment. Please forgive us and we won't do it again."

Wang's cries were so loud that they made people's eardrums buzz. County Magistrate Lin ordered: "Gag her and take her away."

After the verdict was made, County Magistrate Lin kept looking at Prince An's expression.

Finally, Jin Yuyao said, "Sir, I want you to make public today's results and clear my name."

Just as County Magistrate Lin was about to refuse, Prince An coughed a few times beside him.

County Magistrate Lin had no choice but to agree.

Seeing that there was nothing left for Jin Yuyao to do, she left the yamen and waited outside for Wang Jingshan and Prince An.

Jin Yuyao thought that she must have a good meal to celebrate after returning home.

While she was waiting outside, Old Madam Liu waved to her and Jin Yuyao came over.

Madam Liu said, "They won't be able to come out for a while, so go to the car and wait for a while."

Jin Yuyao got in the car.

She asked Mother Qin, "How is the young master's health now?"

Madam Liu said, "Much better. He's always been a worrywart. As soon as he gets a little better, he starts wandering around. I'm afraid Liu Sheng is finished now."

Mother Qin said, "I heard that Liu Sheng also came from a poor family. He finally became an official and things were going well at first. But after his only son died, I heard that he started to amass wealth in various ways."

Jin Yuyao asked, "Was her son's death a huge blow to her?"

Madam Liu said, "I heard rumors that he was very honest at the time and didn't even have money to treat his son's illness. Maybe the child's death was a huge blow to him, and he felt that if he had money, his son would not have left him."

Jin Yuyao asked, "What will be the fate of County Magistrate Lin?"

Madam Liu and Mother Qin both shook their heads.

County Magistrate Lin may have had good intentions at first, but he lost himself and forgot the path he was supposed to take.

Prince An and Wang Jingshan came out soon.

The group soon arrived at Qingyun Town, and the two men got off the carriage after expressing their gratitude.

Jin Yuyao and Wang Jingshan walked into the clinic, and Hua Xue and Manager Li were looking at the door expectantly.

"Sister-in-law Yuyao, you are finally back? How is it?"

Shopkeeper Li said with a smile, "I think the smile on Doctor Jin's face means he has been cleared of the injustice."

Wang Jingshan laughed from behind and said, "Shopkeeper Li is right."

Jin Yuyao entered the clinic and said, "Let's ask Zuixianlou to order some food today so we can celebrate."

Hua Xue and Manager Li were both happy for Jin Yuyao. The haze had finally passed.

After Wang Jingshan picked up his three children, he went to Zuixianlou and ordered some signature dishes and the best wine. He wanted to splurge today.

The three children looked at Wang Jingshan and asked, "Dad, why are you so generous today? How did you get rich?"

Wang Siyuan also asked: "Dad, why are you so generous today?"

Wang Jingshan smiled and said, "We are all very happy today so let's have a good meal."

Wang Baozhu said, "You're not going to be able to make ends meet if you spend money like this."

Wang Jingshan said with a smile: "Little girl, you are very frugal. Today is a special day, and your mother also agreed."

After the dishes were cooked, Wang Jingshan returned home with his child carrying the lunch box.

Wang Jingshan took out the dishes and placed them on the table, and Jin Yuyao made some fruit tea and sour plum soup for the children to drink.

The seven of them sat down. Jin Yuyao poured a glass of wine and stood up. "Thank you all for your support today. Without you guys stabilizing the rear, I wouldn't have been able to finish this so quickly."

Wang Jingshan said sarcastically: "Yuyao, the person you should thank the most should be me, and the first person you should pay your respects to should be me."

Jin Yuyao looked at Wang Jingshan's awkward expression and said, "Okay, I'll toast to you with the second cup. If it weren't for you, I would probably be in jail now."
