Guide to raise my cutie husbands

Chapter 708: Qiu Bai‘s hell begins

Yu Cheng was the lifeline of the Yu family everyone in the third branch from old man Tong to her  Second Aunt Yu and even Qiu Bai adored that precious 'true man' who was born into their family, of course, they will be very upset when they see that guy suffer. Yu Dong has always been an eye for an eye person, she will of course not kill Yu Cheng since she did not want to become a murderer but she will do something that will make Yu Cheng's life little hell where he will cry for death day and night, as long as she does that she was sure that this family will receive their retribution as well.         

    

"You…you are just trying to shirk responsibility, arent you?" The women of the village were really agitated, they might be greedy and selfish but they were very protective of little kids especially girls since they knew how important they were to a family and now that they knew that Qiu Bai killed Yu Dong's daughter before she could even see the world, they wanted nothing more but to kick the entire Yu family out.     

" Is it my responsibility, if this mer is so ruthless? If you have any complaints then you go to his maternal house and teach a good lesson to his parents what are you scolding me for? It's not like I raised him and taught him these skills! And as you heard my daughter is going to divorce him, we have no relation with this mer!" Old Man Tong was ready to throw hands if anyone tried to move him from his house! He spent so much effort in getting that house from his wife and Yu Dong, there was no way he was going to let anyone kick him out!     

That was his lifetime achievement!     

"Village head Gu!" When the women saw that the Old man Tong was acting shamelessly they all turned to look at Madam Gu who was once again in a tight spot. But before she could say anything  Second Aunt Yu spoke up, " I understand that you all are upset and angry with Qiu Bai but there is no evidence that will show that I or my father was involved in this matter. Without any reason, you cannot punish us since even the Empress would not kill the entire family of a sinner without a just cause!"     

Now that  Second Aunt Yu has dragged the Empress into this matter, there was no way any woman would be able to object against her. What Second Aunt Yu said was right, even the Empress did not kill the family of a sinner lest she was a betrayer.      

The women were upset and they all turned to look at Yu Dong who sighed and said, "It's all right, I am not asking you to leave either but what about Qiu Bai, what are you going to do about him?"      

" That——" Second Aunt Yu  began but she was interrupted by a new voice,      

" Its better to leave this matter to me," a woman dressed in a majestic white robe and her hair tied in a simple high pony with gold hairpin dangling on the side stepped forward, her Phoenix eyes looked at Qiu Bai with distaste and she said, " This matter is related to intentional harm, of course, the culprit will have to pay for their actions with their life, along with handing out three mus of lands to the victim by the family in which he is related to at the moment, that is the law."      

When Old man Tong heard that he has to pay three mus, he immediately felt like someone force-fed him pig poo. His face twisted and a nerve started to throb in his throat as he turned to look at the woman who spoke and started yelling, " For what do we need to pay three mus of land? It was this bastard who did the wrong deed why should we pay? And who are you? Who do you think you are to butt into this matter?"     

Old man tong made sure that he will get the high-wielding lands when Yu Dong was kicked out of the house, all the lands that his family owned were high-wielding lands, how can he hand the lands that he worked so hard to occupy to Yu Dong? At this moment he did not care that the woman in front of him was dressed in expensive clothes and that she was of a higher status than him, all he cared about was that she was snatching his lands!     

" Shut up dad, that the magistrate! What are you doing screaming at Magistrate Li?"  Second Aunt Yu knew that she was going to suffer a rather big loss now that Magistrate Li was here, did she hear everything?  Second Aunt Yu questioned in her head as she looked at the Magistrate who was frowning at her father.      

When the villagers all heard that the woman who just spoke was Magistrate Li, they all sank to a bow awkwardly since they did not come into contact with high-ranking officials daily, the highest-ranking official they have seen before was a bailiff who came to arrest Mu Yuxi the last time when the latter was involved in the kidnapping of someone's husband.     

Even Yu Dong was surprised when she saw Magistrate Li but then she remembered something and her eyes flashed with a sharp glint.     

"It is all right," Magistrate Li stopped the villagers who were bowing in front of her and then turned to look at Old man Tong before raising her head and reciting the law that has been written in the law books,  " As per the law handed down by the Empress, her majesty—— a married mer is under the governance of the family in which he married into, if he is found of murder, felony or a third party affair, the family that was responsible for managing him under their commands will have to pay a sum of ten thousand silver taels and their properties."      

She paused and then added, " But I can see that you are not in any condition to pay ten thousand taels which is why I am being kind enough to ask for only five mus of land."
