Chapter 770 Yu'er is really sensible
Fu Ying accepted the banknote.
"My dear lady, it's a waste of money."
Ji Yang forced a smile.
"you are welcome."
Taking a look at the numbers, Jiang Fuliang expressed it directly.
"A little less."
Fu Ying frowned and looked serious, with a hint of sarcasm.
"Husband, it's better to keep this kind of words in your heart."
"How can you be embarrassed to call me Madam when you say it like that?"
Jiang Fuliang refuted.
"If I hide it, how will they know?"
Thinking of marrying a rich and powerful son-in-law, enjoying endless honor and wealth, Ji Yang gritted her teeth and reluctantly gave up the relationship.
"Mr. Jiang is right."
"It's just a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it."
Fu Ying quickly took the banknote.
"I'll show you the way."
"Madam, this way please."
After obtaining permission, they were led to Youcong Mansion, where Jiang Fuliang and his wife said goodbye and left.
Luo Libin and Ji Yang, with the permission of the Lord, walked into the Youcong Mansion with swagger.
At this moment, Zhuang Wei and Luo Yu had just finished their breakfast.
After hearing the report, they did not stop him and met him openly.
Ji Yang was full of enthusiasm and came forward to present a gift.
"My dear daughter, dear son-in-law, how are you?"
"We heard that you moved to a new house, so we came to congratulate you."
"As expected of a gift from His Majesty, this mansion is truly magnificent."
Zhuang Wei pushed her hand away and refused to touch his wife at all.
"Mr. Luo, Mrs. Luo, you really don't know the rules."
"When you meet someone of high rank, why don't you show respect? The adoption relationship has been dissolved long ago, so why dare you not use a respectful title?"
Unexpectedly, this was a show of force. Luo Libin and his wife looked at each other in shock.
"This……"
Luo Libin blamed him in harsh words.
"My dear son-in-law, we are the elders."
"Even if you are in a high position, you cannot force the elders to bow to the younger ones, right? This is against etiquette and rules."
Zhuang Wei's words are disrespectful.
"Where do you get the term elder from?"
"Are we a family? Or are we two old friends, close friends?"
The couple was speechless again.
"This……"
Ji Yang sought help from Luo Yu under the guise of family affection.
"Yu'er, please say something. We have worked hard and cherished you for twenty years."
Luo Yu sat quietly, deaf and dumb.
Zhuang Wei replied.
"You don't need to bother my wife with teaching you etiquette. Madam Luo is eager to learn. I can invite a maid from the palace to teach you manners. If I pay so much attention to it, I will not let you down for all your hard work and love."
It sounded like he had bad intentions, so Ji Yang naturally refused.
"Master Jun, your words are too serious."
"I understand the etiquette and manners."
Zhuang Wei sat leisurely, sipping tea comfortably.
"That's good."
"Please, both of you, be courteous."
Luo Libin acted pitifully and stared at Luo Yu.
"Yu'er, can you bear to kneel down before your parents?"
Luo Yu remained silent and did not respond.
Zhuang Wei was impatient, his eyes were stern and his teeth were filled with anger.
"You two, please stop targeting my wife. You know what the crime is for a lowly person to offend a superior? In addition, what crime is it for ignoring the law and refusing to perform the ceremony?"
"I will not explain any more. I will send you to Tinghetai and you will know everything after experiencing it for yourself."
Luo Libin and Ji Yang knelt down reluctantly to pay their respects.
"I wish you the best, Master Jun and Madam Xiao."
Zhuang Wei showed a satisfied smile and spoke leisurely.
"If you don't stand up, you will have to keep kneeling."
"Such a simple rule, don't you need me to teach you?"
Luo Libin and Ji Yang were both shocked.
"what?"
Zhuang Wei played dumb.
"Is there a problem?"
Luo Libin protested and resigned angrily.
"We are guests after all, how can you treat us so badly, sir?"
"Could it be that this is the way the Hongshun Earl's Mansion treats guests, and this is the family tradition and education of the Zhuang family?"
Zhuang Wei raised his lips and smiled, full of mockery.
"Mr. Luo is right. I shouldn't neglect my distinguished guests."
"Please sit down, both of you."
Luo Libin and Ji Yang spoke in unison.
"Thank you, Sir."
The two men sat down at the side, and Luo Libin took up the posture of Yue Zun again and explained the reason.
"us……"
Zhuang Wei didn't give his wife a chance to speak. He turned to his wife and asked with a smile.
"Do you think it's fun to play with them like this, Madam?"
Hearing the disrespectful words, the two people sitting nearby became unhappy.
Luo Yu shook her head and answered.
"It's boring."
Hearing this, Ji Yang felt softened and immediately agreed.
"That's right."
"Yu'er is a filial child, and she knows very well that it is totally wrong to bully Zunci like this."
Luo Libin praised her generously and won her heart.
"Yu'er is so sensible. Daddy is proud of you."
There was a hint of contempt in Zhuang Wei's brows.
"You two have misunderstood."
"Madam doesn't want to play with you anymore, so she'll report it to Tinghetai and put an end to it."
Luo Libin's eyes turned panicky.
"How could you misunderstand my daughter's intentions, sir?"
"Yu'er is filial and respectful to her parents, and never slacks off. She certainly won't have the heart to sue."
"Besides, we obey the law and keep to ourselves. What's wrong with that?"
Zhuang Wei's dark eyes were filled with a hint of fierceness.
"Selling your adopted daughter, how can you say you obey the law?"
Ji Yang corrected unhappily.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Are we the ones who betrayed Yu'er?"
"Didn't Yu'er tell you that this was done by Yu Shan?"
She raised her voice in a threatening tone.
"Master Jun slandered innocent people at will. I will report it to Yin Sitai."
Zhuang Wei was calm and gestured to Yong Chang.
"Here is a piece of evidence. Please take a look."
Yong Chang understood, opened the cabinet, took out the relevant evidence, and handed it to the two people sitting beside him.
As they read, Zhuang Wei explained.
"The law has been established. If a person sells a woman, the punishment will be different according to the amount of money he has earned."
"You will be punished with fifty strokes of the cane for the silver you have obtained, and imprisoned in the imperial court for three years. All ill-gotten gains will be confiscated into the national treasury."
"The punishment is not severe."
"But one important point cannot be ignored."
"Last year, you first negotiated with the owner of Meiruiyuan and signed a contract; then, you terminated the adoption relationship with my wife. In short, when she was sold, she was still your adopted daughter."
"As far as the law is concerned, as long as the adoption relationship is not dissolved, an adopted daughter is the same as a biological daughter. There is no difference."
"Then you will be charged with the crime of 'betraying your relatives'."
"My daughter is my closest flesh and blood. If you hurt her, you must punish her severely."
"If my wife is not harmed in the sale, you can punish her with 100 strokes of the cane, imprison her in the imperial court for six years, and confiscate the stolen property."
"Unfortunately, my wife is seriously injured and her life is in danger. This is the conclusion reached by several famous doctors after a joint diagnosis. As shown in the medical documents, the evidence is irrefutable."
"You two, have a safe trip to the Yinyu Huangquan."
Ji Yang was furious and wanted to tear up the evidence and erase all traces.
Seeing his foolish behavior, Zhuang Wei gave a gentle reminder.
"I have several copies of the written evidence. You can tear them up."
"In addition to the crime of destroying evidence, you can enjoy the pain once more before you die. I guess, Madam Luo just wants to live a little longer, even if life is worse than death."
Ji Yang was so frightened that he paused, threw away the evidence in panic, and dared not do anything rash.
She burst into tears instantly and knelt down in front of Luo Yu, almost prostrating herself on the ground.
"Yu'er, you can't treat your mother like this..."
