That night, after Sun Xiu ran out of the door with disheveled hair, he came to the seaside and created the illusion that Sun Dalong jumped into the sea to kill himself. Furthermore, since Madame Song purposely drew everyone's attention, everyone thought Sun Dalong jumped into the sea to commit suicide. The only servant girl in the family, Chun Xiang, was still young and only around ten years old, so she was not familiar with the affairs of the world. So even after so long, no one doubted it. Including the county yamen, they also believed that Sun Delong had lost his mind and jumped into the sea to end the case, while these two poor mandarin ducks also ended up with lovers.
If this matter ended here, the two of them would be able to live a very happy life for the rest of their lives. However, even though she was lucky to not die, that Yang Half Immortal was still perturbed and went to provoke Luo Lingwei. After being humiliated by Luo Lingwei and then beaten up by Zhang Long, he became angry from embarrassment. In the end, he became malicious and wanted to stab Luo Lingwei in the night.
But unexpectedly, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu caught him on the spot, and then the little brat fell into Xiao Qing's hands. Before he even started torturing her, he had already told her about his past crimes. After being sent to the county magistrate court by Luo Lingwei and the others, he naturally fell into the hands of Sun Xiu.
After Yang Half Immortal entered the prison, Sun Xiu found out the reason why he came in. He secretly killed him, and then used his position as the prison's head to push this matter to Luo Lingwei. He had originally thought that Luo Lingwei was the wife of an ordinary rich family. However, he didn't expect that Luo Lingwei would be the imperial concubine or the Imperial Emissary. This time, he had almost lost to her. Fortunately, he cleverly pushed the blame to the already dead Half Immortal Yang, allowing him to escape a calamity.
Logically speaking, if Sun Xiu and the Song duo were to act obediently at this moment, they would be able to lead a better life in the future. However, they did not expect that one night, the two of them would start to talk about the matter of Sun Delong's death. The young maid, Chun Xiang, had made some movements during the night, and the two of them had a guilty conscience, thinking that Chun Xiang had heard about it, so they secretly planned it. He then chased him to the entrance of the yamen with a kitchen knife. The yamen sent people to arrest the two of them. Sun Xiu could then manipulate them to bring this matter to a successful conclusion.
As expected, at this moment, they coincidentally bumped into Luo Lingwei and the others who had gone to the yamen to prepare their case. In the end, they were thrown into a trap. After Sun Xiu and the Song family confessed, everyone present couldn't help but sigh. Originally, it should have been a divine couple, but by some strange coincidence, it became a pair of miserable lovebirds.
If Zhixian hadn't protected Sun Dalong, or if it had been some time later, or if Sun Dalong hadn't scolded Madame Song, things wouldn't have turned out like this.
"Ai, now that things have progressed to this point, this lowly one has nothing more to say. This lowly one only wishes for the Empress to show mercy and spare Third Young Madam's life. This lowly one is willing to accept the punishment of being hacked into pieces. I only wish for the Empress to give Third Young Madam a way out. Right now, this lowly one has a plan …" At this time, Sun Xiu was using his head to grab the ground, kowtowing until his head was bleeding profusely. Tears streaming down his face, he spoke to Luo Lingwei.
Madame Song, on the other hand, pulled at Sun Xiu. She choked and sobbed but could not utter a sound. She pulled on Sun Xiu and shook her head, indicating that if you were to die, I would definitely not live alone. Such a scene made those who smelled it sad to the point of tears.
Seeing this, Luo Lingwei did not know what to do.
"Let's temporarily keep these two under custody. We'll discuss this tomorrow."
Upon seeing Luo Lingwei in such a difficult situation, the county magistrate also knew that Luo Lingwei was deeply moved by the couple's love for each other. Furthermore, this matter was a blessing in disguise. As a seventh-grade sesame official, he had no choice but to let Luo Lingwei handle this matter.
"What do you think about this matter?"
After returning to the inn, Luo Lingwei asked for the opinion of Little Qing, Little White, and the others who came to court together with her today.
"To Your Highness, the reason why I have flourished is because the law is so strict that the people do not dare to do evil. This case is related to the lives of two people and is a matter of great importance. May esteemed wangfei please judge them to be executed after the fall according to the laws of the Profound Sky Continent. " Zhang Long said after thinking for a while.
"Sister Weiwei, I agree with Brother Zhang that no precedent can be set on this matter. If the two of them were to meet with an unprecedented situation, there would be endless trouble in the future." Little Qing nodded in agreement.
Seeing the two of them in such a state, Luo Lingwei couldn't help but roll her eyes and silently thought in her heart, "They really are a couple."
"Lil 'White, what do you guys think?" Luo Lingwei looked at Little White again.
"Sister Weiwei, Lil 'White thinks that although these two people lost two lives in a row, in essence, they are not bad people." If it were not for luck, they would not have reached where they are today. Xiao Bai feels that it would be better to let them live. "
For a moment, everyone in the room spoke clearly.
After listening to them, Luo Lingwei had an idea. She sent them back to their room and took the opportunity to have a good rest.
On the next day, Luo Lingwei finally cleared her mind and arrived at the court to begin her trial.
With the sound of the drum ringing out, the yamen's entrance was opened, and three groups of yamen runners were lined up. Luo Lingwei sat in front of the yamen while Sun Xiu and Madame Song remained kneeling on the ground.
"Mighty ~ Martial ~"
After shouting for a while, Luo Lingwei slapped the wood and began her sentence against Sun Xiu and Madame Song.
"The accused Sun Xiu, who was originally a male prison warden in Ping An County, murdered his foster father first and then forced the prisoner to his death. The accused Sun Dalong, wife of the victim Sun Dalong, colluded with Sun Dalong and murdered him because he had an affair with Sun Xiu secretly and could not bear Sun Dalong's scolding. However, I think you two have your own difficulties and love each other. So, today, I shall grant you two three feet of white silk and hang yourselves to death. After death, I will bury you two together as husband and wife. "
In fact, last night, Sun Xiu and the Song family had thought about it for an entire night and understood. Today, when they heard that Luo Lingwei was actually willing to leave them intact and even agreed to bury them together, the two couldn't help but be overjoyed and kowtow in gratitude.
Then, Luo Lingwei changed the topic and looked at the local county, saying, "Ping An Prefecture, Zhi Prefecture. This matter was caused by you. If you hadn't been so compatible, the two of them wouldn't have suffered today. I originally wanted to reduce you to a commoner, but after hearing that you love the people like a son, fair and honest, I punished you to take care of the aftermath for Sun Xiu and the Song family, and kowtowed to thank them. As for the Sun family's property, half was confiscated and the other half was given to the servant girl, Chun Xiang. Do you have any objections? "
Everyone present raised their thumbs up at Luo Lingwei's judgement. Although the laws of the Profound Sky Continent were very strict, as the wife of the man in power, Ye Lianhe, the so-called laws of the Profound Sky Continent were nothing in front of her. With just a word from her, Sun Xiu and the Song family would be released without any guilt. However, she did not go against the law because of her sympathy for the two of them. Instead, she protected the dignity of the law while at the same time, allowing the two poor people to obtain their best ending.
