The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich

County Magistrate Zhou nodded. Then, he took the gavel and smacked it heavily. “Court is in session!” he said in a dignified manner.

As soon as he finished speaking, the bailiffs on both sides stepped on the ground with sticks in their hands and shouted loudly, ” Wei Wu!”

As soon as the voice stopped, County Magistrate Zhou immediately asked Lin yuelan, “Are you Lin yuelan from the Lin family Village? ”

Lin yuelan folded her arms and said to County Magistrate Zhou, “Yes. I am Lin yuelan of the Lin family Village!” She would kneel to the heavens and the earth, but she would never kneel to anyone!

County Magistrate Zhou saw that Lin yuelan was just standing there without kneeling down. His brows furrowed slightly, and he looked dissatisfied. However, when he saw Jiang Zhennan standing next to Lin yuelan, he could only suppress his dissatisfaction. Then, he calmly asked Lin Sanniu, ” Lin Sanniu, is the person standing in front of you the eldest daughter you said you wanted to sue?”

This was the first time in Lin Sanniu’s life that he had met the highest-ranking official other than the town chief. Thus, he could not help but feel nervous, afraid, and uneasy, both inwardly and on the surface.

He stammered and trembled as he replied, “Replying to my Lord, this is indeed my eldest daughter, Lin yuelan!

County Magistrate Zhou immediately turned to Lin yuelan and asked, ” Lin yuelan, is this Lin Sanniu from the Lin family Village your biological father? ”

However, to County Magistrate Zhou’s surprise, Lin yuelan answered directly, ” no, Your Excellency!”

The people who were listening were shocked and immediately exclaimed, ” what happened? Didn’t this Lin Sanniu accuse his eldest daughter, Lin yuelan, of being unfilial? This person is clearly Lin yuelan from the Lin family Village. So why doesn’t she admit it?”

Of course, those who were listening by the side were more inclined towards Lin Sanniu.

This was because no one would actually sue a stranger.

County Magistrate Zhou knew the inside story.

To be honest, he felt sorry for Lin yuelan for encountering such cold-blooded, emotionless, numb, and foolishly filial parents.

However, the law was greater than love.

In the Long Yan Kingdom, the ‘law of filial piety’ was fixed on everyone’s head, and no one could resist it.

No one could surpass it.

County Magistrate Zhou shouted sternly, ” how dare you, Lin yuelan! The witness’s testimony is here. How dare you lie to me in the county office?”

If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely be frightened by County Magistrate Zhou.

However, Lin yuelan calmly said to County Magistrate Zhou, ” Your Excellency, please allow me to report in detail. I was once Lin Sanniu’s daughter. However, three years ago, I cut off my blood and flesh to return to my father and mother, cutting off all ties with them. May I ask, my Lord, are they still my family then?”

After hearing this reason, the bystanders nodded in understanding.

In that case, Lin Sanniu and Lin yuelan were no longer father and daughter. It made sense that Lin yuelan did not acknowledge her father.

County Magistrate Zhou held the gavel in one hand and stroked his beard with the other. His expression was still serious as he asked loudly, ” are you telling the truth? When I find out that you have lied to me, you will be punished with 20 whips. I’ll ask you again, are you telling the truth?”

Lin yuelan cupped her fists and replied firmly, ” my Lord, I’m telling the truth. If I hide anything, I’m willing to suffer the punishment!”

County Magistrate Zhou nodded and turned to Lin Sanniu, who was still kneeling on the ground. He asked seriously, ” Lin Sanniu, is what Lin yuelan said true? Quickly tell me the truth. If you lie, you will be punished with twenty wooden planks to the ass!”

When Lin Sanniu heard that Lin yuelan refused to acknowledge their father-daughter relationship, a wave of anger surged in his heart. He even wanted to stand up and give Lin yuelan a few slaps. However, when he saw the magistrate sitting high up in the air and the surrounding constables holding wooden sticks in their hands, he put away the thought of beating her.

He could only kneel in front of the hall and listen carefully.

However, the more he heard Lin yuelan’s words, the angrier he became. At the same time, he felt more afraid.

Lin yuelan had actually revealed the matter of severing ties with her family three years ago.

As long as this matter came out, even if he had the right of filial piety, he could also be criticized by others at the same time.

However, what Lin yuelan said was the truth. Even if he wanted to refute her, he didn’t know how to.
