Chapter 202 This is my last gift to you
Lu Mei didn't expect that in the end not only would Lu Shao not be held responsible, but she would have to slap him in the face instead.
He immediately begged for mercy from the county magistrate, saying that he would not dare to do it again.
But the county magistrate ignored him and ordered his execution.
Lu Mei had no choice but to look at Lu Shao hurriedly, "Wu Lang, I am your biological sister, do you really want to watch me get slapped in the face?"
Lu Shao sighed and asked back: "When you framed me many times, did you ever think that I was your brother?"
"Besides, you broke the law, and the county magistrate sentenced you to a slap in the face. You should have been punished. What does it have to do with me?"
Lu Mei cried and said, "Please ask the county magistrate for me. As long as you don't pursue the matter, isn't that enough?"
Lu Shao shook his head, "You keep hurting me, I won't forgive you."
He added: "After returning to the village, I will ask the clan leader and elders to make the decision and completely sever ties with you."
Just like adoption, write a document to sever ties.
I believe that after what happened today, the clan leader and others will agree very much.
Lu Mei showed an expression of disbelief again, "How did you become so cruel? I am your sister, you can't do this to me.
Lu Shao said: "You are just my cousin from another room now, and you are separated from the family, so please don't keep using my sister to make trouble."
"You are insulting my identity as a sister."
Lu Mei's expression changed, and she couldn't help cursing, "You are such a heartless person, you..."
But before she could finish her curse, she was restrained by a yamen runner.
Another bailiff took out a ruler specially used for slapping people in the face and slapped Lu Mei in the face.
"Clap clap clap!"
Every time the sound is heard, it makes people feel painful.
But no one present felt sympathy for poor Lu Mei. They just thought that this person deserved it.
Everyone was cheering, saying that the county magistrate's judgment was fair and that this vicious woman who specifically framed and harmed her relatives should be punished.
Lu Mei only felt the excruciating pain of being hit on the face.
She wanted to scream, but the pain was so severe that she couldn't open her mouth.
The yamen runner had a good relationship with Lu Shao, so he naturally did not hold back when he slapped Lu Mei in the face.
Therefore, after twenty strokes of the cane, Lu Mei's face was swollen like a pig's head, and there was blood at the corners of her lips.
Seeing this, Yu Dalang wished he had never married such a shameful woman.
It's really a thing that can't do anything good but is always causing trouble.
Not only did he fail to get things done, but his reputation was also damaged.
Especially when I heard people scold him for being a gigolo, relying on his wife's brother for his studies, and even colluding with his wife to harm his wife's brother, he was not a human being.
He even wanted to strangle Lu Mei to death himself.
His aunt's reputation was ruined and he was also affected to some extent.
Now he himself has been burdened with such a bad reputation. Won't he be pointed at when he goes out in the future?
Going to school would also result in exclusion and ridicule from classmates, Lu Zhoujin being an example.
When he thought about encountering these things in the future, he felt like collapsing.
When he saw Lu Mei being beaten, he not only did not feel distressed, but also felt relieved.
If he didn't still have to rely on his uncle, he would have divorced Lu Mei as soon as he returned.
After the court session ended, Lu Shao apologized to his two classmates.
After all these things happened, we naturally couldn't have tea and reminisce about the past anymore.
However, he told the two that if they had any questions about academic subjects in the future, they could come and ask him.
This made the two of them very excited.
Lu Shao's knowledge is recognized as good, and they will definitely benefit a lot from his teachings.
After the agreement was reached, the two of them happily left the county government office.
The onlookers also dispersed.
The bailiffs then carried Yu Dalang back to the clinic.
In the county court, there were only Lu Mei, who was kneeling limply in pain and wanted to die, and Lu Shao, who was standing.
Lu Shao walked up to Lu Mei and half-knelt, "Do you remember what I said now?"
Lu Mei looked up at Lu Shao. In addition to resentment, she also felt a fear she had never felt before.
Her face was so swollen and painful that she couldn't speak, so she was forced to nod.
Lu Shao moved closer to her and asked, "You suddenly came here to make trouble today. Was it your stepmother who instigated you?"
Lu Mei's eyes narrowed, surprised that her brother actually knew that.
Lu Shao sneered, "You are so stupid. You have always been used by your stepmother and the Yu family."
"Dad hid so much property, and my sister and I didn't know."
"But the stepmother and her two children not only knew about it, but also enjoyed a wealthy life for many years."
"Except for the property that my father embezzled from my uncle, the rest is the dowry left by my grandmother and mother."
"Under normal circumstances, the dowry should belong to us, my sister and I."
"But in no family does the mother-in-law's and wife's dowry belong to the husband. Isn't it inherited by the children?"
He added: "I have already been adopted and divided out, so I don't care about that little dowry."
"But you are different. You are still Uncle Wu's biological daughter, so the dowry should all be yours."
"Although Uncle Wu's family owes several hundred taels now, he can definitely pay it back."
"Because I found out that your grandmother left behind a considerable dowry, at least a thousand taels, which was hidden by your father and stepmother."
"After paying off their debts, they can continue to live a life of wealth and luxury."
Recently, he took advantage of the county government's audit to conduct a deeper investigation and even found a list of his grandmother's dowry.
He discovered that in addition to the things that were visible, there was also a private stash of money worth one thousand taels hidden in the bottom of the box.
And this money was given by her mother to her ex-father.
So even if my ex-father paid back a few hundred taels, he wouldn't become poor all of a sudden.
But it’s good to have this little money left. I can use it as a bone to keep the Yu family hanging so that I can fight with my ex-father.
His plan to betray his father and the Yu family can be implemented better.
In the end, my ex-father will be left with nothing.
He looked at Lu Mei again, with a sympathetic look, "But as for you, your life in the Yu family will become more and more difficult in the future."
"That should obviously be your property, but you let the person who killed your mother get it. Don't you think you are stupid?"
Lu Mei stared at Lu Shao with wide eyes, as if asking him what he meant.
Lu Shao also explained her doubts, "I just found out that your father and stepmother have been hooking up for a long time."
"My mother discovered their affair and was pissed to death."
This will become a sharp weapon in Lu Mei's hand to stab her ex-father and stepmother.
Lu Shao saw that Lu Mei was distracted, but he was not too surprised.
Obviously, she might have guessed that her mother's death was not that simple.
But she pretended not to know.
He tempted again, "They spent so much of grandma and mother's dowry, which is equivalent to spending your property."
"So the yard you are currently staying in should be returned to you."
"If you want to continue living in the Yu family, you have to take your things back."
"Otherwise, you just wait. The Yu family will definitely want to divorce you and find Yu Dalang a new wife."
"If you want Yu Dalang and your parents-in-law and others to continue to rely on you and coax you, then you must have what they want and the bargaining chips in your hands."
"We are brother and sister, and this is my last gift to you. Whether you can live a good life in the future depends on you."
"We will have nothing to do with each other from now on."
"I still say that. If you dare to bother me again, you will be like you today."
Lu Mei made a "wuwuwu" sound in her throat and shook her head, meaning that she wouldn't do it anymore and she didn't dare to do it again.
This younger brother is a devil, so cruel.
She didn't want to experience this kind of heart-wrenching pain again.
Not to mention continuing to pester her, she just wanted to stay away from this brother...
Seeing her nod, Lu Shao stood up with satisfaction.
He gave her a last cold look and said, "You'll be fine."
Next, he can go on study tours with his teacher without any worries.
After that, the fifth branch and the Yu family started to fight each other, and the young wife could finally have some peace and quiet in the village.
Then he turned and left without any reluctance.
When Lu Mei saw his heartless back, she felt uncomfortable and complicated, and couldn't help thinking about the dowry property that should have belonged to her.
