The Legitimate Daughter Returns: The Real Daughter is Reborn Chapter 180

Chapter 180 Questioning

“Auntie, don't be afraid, we will help you.”

“Yes, Mr. Wang is a good official, don't worry.”

Seeing that the onlookers were all moved, the old woman couldn't help but tremble her fingers, and her face also trembled.

Su Leyun stared at the old woman without any intention of urging her.

 But under her gaze, the old woman could not say a word.

“Mother-in-law, can't you walk? I'll have someone bring the sedan.”

Mrs. Lin glanced at the old woman for a few times, seemed to sense something, and said.

 Immediately, servants ran into the Lin Mansion.

 After a while, the sedan was carried out.

 “Mother-in-law, please sit on it.”

Su Leyun pointed to the sedan that was being carried and signaled its arrival.

"I…"

 The old woman's hesitation made the people around her feel dissatisfied.

 “Auntie, come up quickly!”

 “Yeah, stop dawdling!”

 Some of them wanted to watch the fun, while others noticed something was wrong because of the old woman's provocation.

The old woman now had no way out, so she could only get into the sedan tremblingly.

I saw a group of people walking towards Dali Temple on the street.

From time to time, people who heard about what happened came around.

 When we arrived at Dali Temple, there were more people watching.

Hearing the noise outside, the guards of Dali Temple ran out one after another.

Wang Xiuyi also appeared in front of everyone.

 “Who is making such a noise in front of the door?”

 “Mr. Su Leyun, a civilian girl, has met Mr. Wang.”

Su Leyun bowed respectfully.

Wang Xiuyi's eyes flashed when he heard the word Su Leyun. Su Ye's incident has been making a lot of noise recently. Of course he knew who Su Leyun was.

 “What brings Miss Su to Dali Temple?”

 “The civilian daughter came here because she wanted Mr. Wang to resolve the case.”

Su Leyun was neither humble nor arrogant, and told everything one by one.

After listening to Su Leyun's explanation, the expression on Wang Xiuyi's face did not change, but there were already thousands of thoughts in his mind.

“Please invite a few more people to come in with me.”

Su Leyun took the lead to enter the door. The old woman was held up by the servants of the Lin family. No matter how reluctant she was, she had no choice but to follow in.

As for the people at the back, Wang Xiuyi took a few glances and said loudly: "This is an important place for the government. It may not be appropriate for so many people to come in. Please elect a few representatives to come in."

 Common people, you look at me and I look at you, but you don't say a word to refute.

 After a while, a dozen or so people were selected and followed the guards into Dali Temple.

 Main hall.

Wang Xiuyi sat down.

Mrs. Lin and Liu Qin stood on the side, while Su Leyun and the old woman stood in the center of the hall, facing Wang Xiuyi.

“My two gentlemen, please report your names.”

 “People's daughter Su Leyun.”

 “Mr. Liu, the wife of the people, has seen the Lord.”

 The old woman's eyes became increasingly wandering.

Wang Xiuyi looked at it for a moment and asked, "Ms. Liu, what's your son's name?"

 “Zhang Shouyi.”

 “Where is your registered residence?”

 “We are from Yangzhou.”

 “How many people are in your family?”

 “My son and I depend on each other.”

 “How old is your son?”

 “It's the New Year's Eve.”

 “When will you join the army?”

 …“…two years ago.”

Wang Xiuyi suddenly smiled and said, "Ms. Liu, did you remember it wrong? The soldiers who went to the northwest this time were all soldiers who had been in the army for more than five years. Your son has only been in the army for two years, how was he chosen?"

Liu's expression froze and she quickly said, "I remembered wrongly. My son joined the army five years ago!"

“Your son enlisted in the army at the age of fifteen?”

Wang Xiuyi's face turned cold.

 Liu still looked puzzled and didn't understand what the problem was.

 But the onlookers started talking.

“I remember that the emperor issued a decree five years ago that men under the age of sixteen are not allowed to enlist in the army, right?”

“Did you remember it wrong again?”

“Can you remember this kind of thing wrong?”

When Mrs. Liu heard these words, her face changed drastically, "Sir, I made a mistake! My son joined the army at the age of sixteen."

Su Leyun said: "The old woman is getting old, so it is possible that she cannot remember."

"Yeah yeah."

 Because she was too flustered, Mrs. Liu did not realize that it was Su Leyun who spoke.

By the time she came back to her senses and noticed, it was already too late.

"But old lady, you probably don't know that five years ago, the emperor issued a decree that in addition to stipulating the age for enlistment, the conditions for enlistment were also changed."

"What?"

 Liu looked at Su Leyun.

Su Leyun smiled and said: "Unless the only son in the family is married and has children, he is not allowed to join the army. If I remember correctly, you just said that you and your son are the only ones in the family."

 “I...I made a mistake.”

“Ms. Liu, you made mistakes once or twice. Which of your words is the truth?”

Wang Xiuyi has already seen the clues.

 This old woman clearly came to stir up trouble on purpose.

Ms. Liu quickly knelt down and said, "Your Excellency, you are aware of this. A common woman would not dare to deceive you."

The hunched back made the people watching have a little more trust in her.

 “Your Excellency, you are aware!”

Hearing these voices, Su Leyun did not panic and knelt down, "Master Wang, I also hope that you can understand clearly."

"This matter is a bit complicated. I need a few days to look through the enlistment roster." Wang Xiuyi paused, "Before that, Miss Su and Mr. Liu will probably have to stay in Dali Temple for a few days."

 “The women of the people all obey Mr. Wang's arrangements.”

The old woman was hesitant at first, but after hearing Su Leyun's words, she had no choice but to agree.

 “The women of the people are also willing.”

Su Leyun and the old woman lived in two rooms respectively, but they happened to be next door.

“Le Yun, can you stay here?”

Liu Qin looked at Su Leyun with some worry. There was still egg liquid on her dress.

Mrs. Lin has already asked someone to go back and get some clothes. "Just leave her alone."

 “Something happened to my brother, I always feel like someone is up to something here.”

Su Leyun arrived hesitantly.

Mrs. Lin nodded understandingly. This matter has been talked about in the court these days, and she also heard about it from her husband.

"Mrs. Lin, I would like to ask you to go to Sun Mansion to inform my mother. I'm afraid she will be worried."

 “Do you know what's going on?”

 Mrs. Lin asked.

Su Leyun nodded, "I'm somewhat confident, but I still have to wait for the other party to show off."

Seeing this, Mrs. Lin didn't offer much advice. Liu Qin only half-understood what she said and was still a little worried before leaving.

 The news spread quickly.

As soon as Sun Jiarou heard about this, he was going to Dali Temple.

 Fortunately, Mrs. Lin arrived in time and persuaded Sun Jiarou to leave.

 “This kid has always been like this.”

Despite Mrs. Lin's comfort, Sun Jiarou was still uneasy and called Sun Wu to investigate the Liu family.

 It will naturally take a lot of time to check the roster.

 But Su Leyun was not panicked.

 She is not a prisoner, so the guards of Dali Temple still treat her respectfully.

 Su Mansion.

 Mrs. Su's whole face turned terrifyingly gloomy after hearing what Aunt Zhao had said.

"This Su Leyun is really ungrateful, how can he say such a thing!"
