General, the lady escaped again

"Your Excellency, they are my biological father and stepmother." Aunt Ji answered without hiding anything.

"Then do you plead guilty to the crime he has accused you of?" The magistrate looked at Ji Xiaomu and felt that she did not look like the kind of person that Ji's father described her as. He decided to try her thoroughly before sentencing her.

"My lord, I don't recognize it." Ji Xiaou said respectfully. The lord in front of her seemed to be quite sensible and did not directly condemn her as soon as she came.

She probably knew that here, as long as the biological parents sued their children for being unfilial, the case would be successful. Filial piety was the most important thing, and any lawsuit involving unfilial behavior would basically result in the child being convicted.

"Oh? What's your reason? He is your biological father. If you give birth to him, you must raise him. If you don't, you are unfilial." The magistrate looked at Ji Xiaomu and said seriously.

"That's right, she is so unfilial. I am her father, but she actually kicked me out..." Ji's father at the side immediately interrupted, completely forgetting that this was the government office.

"How dare you! Is the master asking you? Look at where you are here, is this the place where you can just talk casually?" Before Ji's father could finish his words, the bailiff at the side shouted at him. Ji's father came to his senses instantly, scared like a quail, and realized that this was the yamen, a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones.

"Yes, yes, yes...please forgive me, sir." Ji's father said timidly.

"Do you want to plead guilty? Or make an excuse?" After seeing Ji's father being scolded, the magistrate relaxed his expression and said to Ji Xiao's wife.

"Sir, please look at this." Without saying anything else, Ji Xiaou took out the severance letter from her arms and held it up.

The yamen runner at the side immediately stepped forward and handed the severance letter to the magistrate. He lowered his head to take a look and saw that it was a severance letter. He probably guessed the situation, returned to his seat and glanced at Ji's father.

The other yamen runners were curious, but looking at their brothers' expressions, it seemed that the fault was with Ji's father. Just as they were thinking this, the magistrate was shocked when he saw the severance letter and slammed the wooden stick heavily.

"Ji Changqing, how dare you play tricks on me!" the magistrate said angrily.

"Sir... I didn't..." Father Ji was frightened by the shock of the wood and answered while shaking.

"Mrs. Ji, please tell me the truth." The magistrate ignored Ji's father and looked at Mrs. Ji, who nodded.

"Sir, I was born in the Ji family. My mother passed away shortly after giving birth to me, and my biological father married a stepmother. When she first came into the family, she treated me well, but after giving birth to my younger brother, she treated me more and more indifferently, even like a servant. I had to do all the affairs of the family, and I had no complaints until I was fourteen years old. My father took me to the Liu family and sold me to the Liu family for five taels of silver to become their daughter-in-law. They were afraid that I would run away, so they took me to the village chief to sign this severance letter and broke off all ties with me. They had no contact since then. This time, he heard that I was divorced by the Liu family and wanted to take me home. I thought he was sincere, but I didn't expect that my biological father just wanted to take me back and marry me to the young master of the Qin family. He had already talked to the Qin family, and the Qin family had given him thirty taels of silver in advance as a betrothal gift. I refused, so he came to the yamen and wanted to sue me for not supporting him." After saying this, Aunt Ji kowtowed to the magistrate.

"Sir, even if there is a letter of severance, is it okay for me not to support him?" said little Ji.

"Since there is a letter of severance, of course you don't need to provide support anymore. I already know about this matter, and you are not wrong." The magistrate nodded. As for Ji Xiaomu and Ji Changqing, he believed Ji Xiaomu's words more. She had reasons and evidence, and her statements were clear and concise.

Instead of being like Ji Changqing, who just said a bunch of repetitive nonsense.
