Chapter 1214: Meet You Again When Flowers Fall (4)
The mother comforted her son: "Son! It's not that I want to let that damn girl go, but we can't afford to offend the family she married into."
"Marry?" The son laughed contemptuously, "Stop joking. What kind of family is the Wei family? They can marry her as a wife? With her status, she can only be a maid at best. Even if she is a mother with a son, she can only be a concubine.
Didn't you hear what this elder brother said? That young general has a fiancée, and it's not certain whether her child can be born.
Even wealthy families value matching; if it weren’t for my aunt’s several pleadings, my younger sister wouldn’t have been able to marry into the family.”
Qingyan, who was standing next to him, was a little surprised when he heard what the other party said - he didn't expect that there would be such a insightful person in this place.
While his parents were hesitating, Li Ziming grabbed Qingyan and said, "Brother, we're going to Huanzhou with you. What do you want us to do? Just tell me!"
Seeing their son's resolute look, Mr. and Mrs. Li nodded in agreement.
It was because of Qingyan's arrangement that the Li family sued Wei Yanshan.
After all, Qingyan has been with Du Ruheng for many years, and he does things just like her - to the extreme.
So this is an uncontested lawsuit.
Household registration certificate, official travel permit, and even the mediation letter written at the yamen after the rich family informed the Li family were all available.
When Wei Yanshan brought Li Yuemei to the yamen, his face was terribly gloomy.
He originally thought that taking Li Yuemei away was a perfect job, and in his opinion, the Li family was just a bunch of ignorant people from the countryside, who would never find their way to Huanzhou, which was thousands of miles away.
Even if they come, if they really show up, you can easily get rid of them by just scare them a few times and giving them some money.
No one expected that the other party would actually dare to take the case to court, not even Li Yuemei, who had always understood her parents.
In the lobby, Li Yuemei lowered her head, her fingers tightly clenched on the corner of her clothes, not daring to look at her parents and brother.
When she left, she only thought that as long as she followed Wei Yanshan, she could live a good life.
Moreover, in her opinion, the other party is a "great hero" who can become a general. Since he said he would marry her, he will definitely fulfill his promise.
but
Her baby is about to be born, but she doesn't even have a formal status. Before, the maids called her "aunt".
But after returning to the Wei family, the servants changed their words again and their attitude became even colder.
I once heard Wei Yanshan say that his fiancée was an ordinary woman who was boring and unattractive.
But when they met yesterday, Li Yuemei almost instantly felt the gap between herself and the other party. Those little tricks she learned in daily life were not enough in front of Du Ruoheng.
Seeing that neither of them spoke, the county magistrate slammed the gavel and said in a deep voice, "Wei Yanshan, the Li family has reported that you abducted a decent woman. Do you have any excuse?"
"County magistrate, you..." Wei Yanshan was about to speak when the servant beside him pulled his sleeve. After Wei Yanshan turned around, he briefly explained the situation to him in his ear.
After hearing those words, Wei Yanshan's face turned red instantly.
The servant told his master that the Li family had provided sufficient evidence, and the county magistrate was also at odds with his father.
After taking a deep breath, Wei Yanshan spoke, "Sir, the Li family girl voluntarily followed me. How can there be any talk of kidnapping? As for her engagement, it was just a verbal agreement between ordinary people in the countryside, and it is valid."
Who knows
"Then please have a look at it yourself, General Wei!" The county magistrate said as he asked his advisor to hand Wei Yanshan two pieces of paper. "The first one is the marriage certificate that Li Yuemei and her fiancé registered with the government.
The other one is the mediation agreement her fiancé wrote after he sued the Li family to the government when the Li family was unable to hand over the person.
It seems that they feel that the atmosphere is not lively enough.
Qingyan, who was watching the judge from outside the hall, gave Li Ziming a look.
Li Ziming's face was filled with rage, and he shouted sternly, "Wei Yanshan, you're still a general! You took my sister away without any clear reason, coaxed and deceived her, got her pregnant, and didn't even give her a legitimate status. You're a shameless person."
"Silence!" The county magistrate was also a lively person. He should have banged the gavel when Li Ziming started to scold him, but he waited until he finished before banging it lightly. Then he looked at Li Yuemei and said, "Li Yuemei, let me ask you this question: are you following Wei Yanshan voluntarily?"
Li Yuemei was so scared that she was shaking all over. She looked up at her parents and brother, and tears fell from her eyes.
She opened her mouth, but didn't know how to answer - if she said it was voluntary, her life would be over; if she said it was not, how could Wei Yanshan let her go?
In her fear, she felt her stomach begin to hurt. This pain was different from what the doctor had called fetal movement. She quickly grabbed Wei Yanshan beside her and said, "Wei Lang, my stomach hurts. I'm going to give birth..."
"What!" Wei Yanshan never thought that at such a critical moment, Li Yuemei would have to give birth because of miscarriage!
"Let Li Yuemei go back and give birth!" The county magistrate didn't want to cause any death, so he had Li Yuemei taken to the back hall and asked someone to invite a midwife.
Mother Li also stood up at this time: "Please, sir, let me go to the back hall to look after my daughter. No matter what she did wrong, she is still my child!"
Just a few words made the other people present nod their heads repeatedly, saying that Li's mother was affectionate and righteous.
