The scumbag ran away from marriage, I remarried on the spot

Meng Jinyao was speechless.

After a moment, she glanced at Gu Jingxi and said in confusion: "My husband asked me to come over, what do I have to do?"

Gu Jingxi said warmly: "Madam, let's sit down and talk first."

Meng Jinyao was stunned for a moment, then nodded, moved to the chair and sat down. She was also wondering what she could do as a housewife, and she didn't understand the affairs of the court.

Gu Jingxi stepped to the desk, picked up an envelope, then turned around, walked towards her, sat down next to her, and handed the envelope in his hand to her: "Madam, take a look at this first."

Meng Jinyao took the envelope and looked down at the cover. It was blank, no one was writing the letter to. She looked up at Gu Jingxi blankly, intending to ask.

Gu Jingxi said, "Madam, take a look first."

Meng Jinyao responded, opened the envelope, and took out the letter paper inside. There were several pieces of letter paper. She glanced at it casually. When she saw the message from her stepmother Sun, she immediately became serious and read it carefully.

This is the relationship network between Sun and the people around Sun, written in great detail.

The people around Sun are all reliable, and the most reliable among them is Aunt Qiao, a loyal servant who can risk her life for Sun.

After reading the list, she instantly understood that Gu Jingxi had checked it specifically for her, just to make it easier for her to find out the cause of Chengyu's death and bring down the Sun family.

Now, just a few days after she told Gu Jingxi about the situation, Gu Jingxi gave her such detailed information, which proved that Gu Jingxi had already started to investigate after she told her about it.

It was rare for someone to take her matter so seriously, but she felt heavy with a few pieces of light letter paper in her hand, and an indescribable feeling surged into her heart.

Gu Jingxi saw that she was looking at the letter in a daze and didn't come back to her senses for a long time. He asked in a low voice: "Madam, what's wrong with you?"

A moment after she finished speaking, she still didn't respond. Gu Jingxi called again: "Madam?"

At this time, Meng Jinyao came back to her senses and asked blankly: "Husband, did you just call me?"

Gu Jingxi nodded: "What is Madam so obsessed with?"

Meng Jinyao shook her head gently, looked up at the man beside her, smiled, and replied crisply: "Thank you, husband."

The little girl had a smile on her face, her eyebrows were crooked, and she was holding the letter tightly. She looked like she had found a treasure, which showed that she was extremely happy.

Gu Jingxi said warmly: "It's just a little effort, madam. You don't have to be polite." He paused and said, "It's just that, madam, do you plan to find out the evidence and hand it over to the government, or deal with it privately?"

Meng Jinyao's smile deepened: "Then it must be handed over to the government for disposal."

Her good stepmother was jealous that Aunt Du was separated from her favor, and jealous that Aunt Du had a pair of twins, she borrowed a knife to kill someone, and then picked them off herself, but she became the sinner who killed her brother.

Sun has enjoyed success for so many years and has been lucky for so many years. In the future, when her reputation is ruined and everyone in the capital knows it, and her children are ridiculed for having a mother who is a murderer, I wonder if Sun will regret her original viciousness. act.

If it was to be dealt with privately, her father, for the sake of the family's reputation, would at most just send Sun to Zhuangzi for recuperation, and would never be allowed to return home as a punishment. How could he leave it to the government to satisfy people's hearts?

Gu Jingxi looked at the little girl calmly, with a bright and sweet smile on her bright little face, but his half-closed eyes hid cruelty. He chuckled and thought to himself: It turns out that he only knows how to tickle people. kitten.

After a while, Meng Jinyao asked again: "Husband, my aunt poisoned her young concubine, how should I be sentenced?"

Gu Jingxi replied: "Because of the unequal rights between parents and children, our court will severely punish parents who kill their children at will. A stepmother who kills her son is treated as a murderer, and the same is true for an aunt's mother who murders her concubine. The principal is sentenced to beheading, and the accomplice is divided into two situations. Those who participated in the plan will be sentenced to death by hanging; those who participated in the plan but did not take the initiative will be punished with a hundred sticks and exiled for three thousand miles."

After hearing this, Meng Jinyao's eyes lit up.

The beheading was good, and the hanging was also good. When the time comes, the master and servant will be executed on the same stage. One will be beheaded in public, and the other will be hanged with hemp ropes to sacrifice Chengyu's spirit in heaven.

When Gu Jingxi saw the little girl's face full of joy, he felt that the little girl was too happy and ignored another thing. Although he didn't want to hurt her, he still had to remind her: "However, children who sue their parents are regarded as unfilial and unfilial." Sins will also be punished. Madam, please think twice. My husband also doesn’t want to visit you in prison one day in the future. "

Meng Jinyao looked stunned. When the Sun family had appropriated her biological mother's dowry, she first used the power of the Changxing Marquis Mansion to force them to return the dowry and threatened to report it to the official.

That time it was because she was fully confident, had evidence, and used the power of the Changxing Marquis Mansion to exert pressure. They would return it without reporting it to the officials, so she could so easily file a complaint and file it in court, and it would be a life-and-death battle. Such words.

Now that human lives were involved, even if she could take advantage of the power of the Changxing Marquis Mansion, it would be difficult to force her father to sue his wife for murdering his heir in his own name.

Sun took the title of elder. It was unfilial for her to sue her stepmother, and it was also unfilial for the second brother to sue his aunt. The most serious thing was that the second brother sued his aunt and became an unfilial son. He would never be able to become an official in the future.

According to the law, children and grandchildren who sue their grandparents and parents, wives and concubines who sue their husbands, and their husband's grandparents and parents, even if all the accusations are true, will be sentenced to twenty years' imprisonment and three years' imprisonment. If the accusation is false, the penalty is hanging.

Because of this, grandparents and parents whose children and grandchildren hide crimes, and husbands whose wives hide crimes can be exempted from guilt.

On the contrary, the reverse is also possible. Elders can sue younger generations, and husbands can also sue their wives.

Meng Jinyao curled her lips and sneered at this law: "This law is not good. It has great disadvantages and is unreasonable. Elders cannot report crimes. How can fairness and justice be maintained? Why is no one opposed?"

Gu Jingxi said quietly: "Because of the word 'filial piety', filial piety has been advocated since ancient times. Even the emperor must be filial to his parents. With the word 'filial piety' at the forefront, all unreasonable things become reasonable."

Meng Jinyao looked angry and asked: "Then how can a wife be guilty of suing her husband? A wife has no obligation to be filial to her husband."

Gu Jingxi replied: "The husband is the guide for his wife. Due to moral principles, the wife cannot sue her husband, otherwise it would be against ethics. Doing something against ethics is also a crime."

In an instant, Meng Jinyao's anger grew, and she even disliked looking at Gu Jingxi, because Gu Jingxi was also a man and a husband.

She didn't understand why such an unreasonable law existed and was still respected by others.

At the same time, a sense of sadness arose in her heart.

The so-called filial piety, the superiority of men to women, is like an invisible mountain, weighing down countless people and making it breathless.

This kind of general ethics will probably not be overturned for a long, long time. Perhaps one day in the future, parents whose children accuse their children of crimes can forgive their children, and wives who accuse their husbands of crimes can be fine and do not have to go to jail.

Gu Jingxi looked at those angry eyes and knew that he had been angered by the little girl. He touched his nose innocently and asked in a warm voice: "Madam, is your husband even angry?"
