Chapter 528: Chapter 528: Waiting for the Summon of the Yamen Servant!

Sun Junyan asked quite straightforwardly, Qiao Xiaomai glanced at Mrs. Sun, who was wrapped like a mummy, and said, “How do you want to settle this privately?”

“Compensation with silver, and apologize by kowtowing.”

Qiao Xiaomai raised an eyebrow, “How much silver?”

“Ten thousand taels.” Sun Junyan waggled five fingers.

Qiao Xiaomai burst into a cold laughter, “Mrs. Sun’s life isn’t even worth twenty taels.”

Sun Junyan also laughed, and it was an icy one, “There was an important document from the military camp in the wooden house you burned.”

“What document?”

“Military secret, no comment.”

Qiao Xiaomai sneered, “Do you think if you say it’s there, it’s there?”

“Well, we can argue this in court. Hua Xiaofeng intentionally injured someone, which means at least ten years in jail. You intentionally committed arson, and have also burned important military documents. Not only do you have to pay compensation, but you also have to go to jail.”

Upon hearing Sun Junyan’s words, Qiao Xiaomai understood.

Even if there weren’t any so-called documents, Cen Hong and Sun Junyan could have made up one out of thin air by now.

As for how ordinary civilians are punished for destroying important military documents, the Daqi Laws do not have a specification.

Laws aren’t comprehensive even in the later generations, let alone here, where the Daqi Laws have many loopholes.

With this thought, she said, “Then let’s go by the law.”

Ten thousand taels that would be roughly the same amount as all her possessions put together, Sun Junyan was trying to make her bankrupt.

Let’s go to court then!

Sun Junyan nodded, then turned to look at Qiao Changshun, “Second brother, even if our kinship has ended, you are still a piece of meat fallen from our mother. I heard from her that she loved you dearly when you were young. Now that she’s beaten like this by your daughter Qiao Xiaomai, don’t you have anything to say?”

Qiao Changshun was already half-dazed. In his vague memory, Mrs. Sun did treat him well when he was a few years old.

Then he didn’t know why, but Mrs. Sun started to dislike him. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

All these years, Mrs. Sun always had a grim face when facing him. He had never even imagined her in such a miserable state.

Qiao Xiaomai gave him a glance and sneered, “Sun Junyan, this was done by Hua Xiaofeng, and I didn’t touch Mrs. Sun.”

“Hua Xiaofeng was avenging my mother, she was right to hit Mrs. Sun. Even if it means going to jail, if given the chance, we would still do it.”

“Fine, you’re eloquent, just wait for the yamen runners to summon you.” Sun Junyan said and got on the donkey cart.

But before leaving, he turned to Qiao Changshun, “Second brother, our mother indeed made many mistakes in the past, but everything she did, she did for me. If you want to hold a grudge, hold it against me, not her. Our father’s health isn’t good, she raised the few of us on her own, it wasn’t easy.”

“Now that your life is better, do you still hold grudges against her for the past?”

His words sounded reasonable, but they were like a needle piercing Qiao Changshun’s heart. He quivered his lips, wanting to say something, but Qiao Xiaomai snorted, “A dog that now knows how to talk.”

“But, can your words cure my father’s crippled leg?”

“Can your words bring my mother back? Can your words return the things you plundered from my family? Can your words erase all the past times my mother was beaten?”

“Now that my family is better, you’ve come to talk nicely. If my family were still in the same situation as before, I bet you would keep draining us dry.”

Having said that, Qiao Xiaomai turned to Qiao Changshun again.

Honestly, she was a bit annoyed.

She had made it clear before, everything depended on Qiao Changshun’s reaction. Now that Sun Junyan played the emotional card, she blurted out like before.

She should have waited to see Qiao Changshun’s reaction!
