Phoenix dwelling in Yanzhou

"What do you mean?" The old patriarch pointed at Qin Xiao, shaking his fingers in anger, "This Ning Feng, who doesn't know that Shu Yi is the wife of your dead brother! Do you even dare to deny that?"

The ghost marriage that year was still fresh in people's memory.

Shu Yi, who was only 15 years old that year, was wearing a red wedding gown, holding a red silk symbolizing festiveness, and on the other end of the red silk was Qin Xiao holding a rooster.

This is the biggest topic of conversation for the Qin family over the years.

"It was obvious to all of us that Shu Yi married into the Qin family back then. How can you deny it?"

Facing the old patriarch's questioning, Qin Xiao didn't panic. "The marriage of the two families is based on three letters and six rituals, three matches and six engagements. Please also send a letter to the Shu family to ask, whose name is written on the letter of engagement that my family gave to the Shu family back then."

The old patriarch was stunned for a moment, he knew about the Shu family changing brides back then.It's just that Qin Xiao's family was lonely at that time, so he didn't want to meddle in other people's business. In addition, the Shu family was really good at life, and they paid a lot of money to take care of them, so the whole clan just turned a blind eye. He even persuaded Qin Xiao's family that it was almost enough, if they were still willing to marry the girl over, they had to muddle along.

So the old patriarch Qin knew very well that the letter of engagement that Qin Xiao's family gave to the Shu family at the beginning stated the name and birthday of the Su family's concubine daughter, but the one who married later was a concubine daughter.

The old patriarch Qin hasn't figured out how to deal with it yet, Duan Yunxu has already asked the yamen servant to spread the word to other people.

~~~~~

It's not the first time Shu Yi has gone to court. Last time, she was also in this court to correct the Qin family's slander against her and the lynching.

This time, she stood in this court again.And next to her were her grandmother and two sisters whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

Mrs. Shu's complexion is very ugly. This time, things are not going well in Yanzhou. Before entering the city, she heard that her granddaughter Qinghe County Junyu Fuqiu was locked up. They couldn't even touch the gate of Yanwang Palace. , Went to the Governor's Mansion, Shu Yi was a white-eyed wolf again, and refused to pull Qin Xiao and Shu Yan's red line no matter what.

They were all about to leave Yanzhou in despair and go back to Jianghuai. Before they packed their luggage, they were approached by people from the government office.

At this time, standing in the courtroom, and just saluting, Duan Yunxu asked bluntly: "Whose name was written on the letter of engagement between the Qin family and your Shu family back then?"

Mrs. Shu was stunned suddenly, why did it bring up the matter of the year?It was something that the Shu family didn't want to mention.

Mrs. Shu hesitated and didn't know what to say, after all.The concubine daughter of the Shu family who was supposed to marry the Qin family has already married, and she married into a prominent family. Her husband's family should know about this, but what should I do?

Seeing Mrs. Shu's hesitation, Qin Xiao spoke first, "It's okay if Mrs. Shu doesn't remember, the letter of appointment back then is also in Jianghuai's official media office."

As he spoke, Qin Xiao took out something from his sleeve and presented it.

The yamen servant deposited this thing in the court, which was a complete set of three books.

The so-called three books are the letter of appointment, the letter of ceremony, and the letter of welcome.

A letter of engagement is a document used by a man to propose to a woman.The welcome book is a document used to marry a bride, and the ceremony book is a document listing the types and quantities of wedding gifts.

The three books are valid documents officially recognized by the imperial court, so a copy will be kept in the official media office.

Looking at the three letters presented in the hall, Duan Yunxu was surprised that how did Qin Xiao get the letter of appointment placed in the Jianghuai Official Media Department in Yanzhou so far away from Jianghuai? !

Looking at Qin Xiao with probing eyes, Qin Xiao glanced at Su Qian who was next to him and was watching the trial.

Duan Yunxu: ...

Is it Yanwang Mansion again?
