Chapter 201 He Will Protect You To The End
Lu Mei looked at Lu Shao in disbelief.
Obviously, he didn't expect that he would be asked to go to the county government office.
It must have been him who had his husband's legs broken, and it was he who said those words yesterday.
Today, not only did he not admit it, he even turned the tables on her.
This feeling of frustration and anger made her feel a little helpless. Why did her brother become like this?
"No need to go to the government office. It must be you who had your brother-in-law's legs broken."
"Come with me to the clinic to see your brother-in-law, otherwise the Yu family will not let you go."
"Besides, going to the government office will affect your reputation. I am doing this for your own good."
She didn't want to go to any government office.
After all, apart from her own confession, she really couldn't find any evidence to prove that it was her brother who did it.
Lu Shao shook his head, "You don't have to say anything more about doing this for my own good."
"Every time you do something good for me, I have to pay a heavy price."
"If I followed you to the clinic today, not only would I be branded as someone who harmed my cousin's husband, but I would also be blackmailed by you and the Yu family for money."
"I just fell into your trap. I'm not a fool."
His classmate also said: "That's right, everyone can see your calculating face."
The onlookers also thought that Lu Mei was plotting against her own brother again, so they followed suit.
At this moment, the door of the yard opened again, and an elegant old man walked out.
Seeing this, Lu Shao stepped forward and saluted, "Teacher!"
Others also looked at the old man. It turned out that this man was Qin Daru.
When Lu Mei heard Lu Shao shouting this, her eyes lit up.
Thinking of what the stepmother said, if the matter was brought to the attention of this great scholar, he might compensate her husband.
So he hurried forward and cried, "Old man, please make the decision for my husband and me!"
Then, before Old Qin could say anything, she told him how Lu Shao had threatened her yesterday and how he had broken her husband's legs this morning.
Not only did she want Lu Shao to be held responsible, she also wanted Mr. Qin to punish this new student on her behalf.
Listening to her complaints, Lin Hao couldn't help but frown.
He whispered, "Is this really my biological sister? She is so vicious and cruel."
"She insisted on proving that Lu Shao had harmed others, and she also wanted him to be punished by the teacher."
"How will you punish him? Will he be expelled from the sect?"
At the same time, he also completely understood why Lu Shao would do such a thing.
If you have a sister like this, you really need to cut off all ties with her as soon as possible.
Otherwise, you don’t know how you will be harmed and dragged down in the future.
Xiao Qi said coldly: "People like his sister will regret it one day."
He grew up in the palace and had seen a lot of darkness.
But I have never seen a sister from the same mother treat her younger brother like this.
He protected all his princess sisters and brothers from the same mother.
Whether it is blood or interests, they are unified.
Lu Shao's sister is not only vicious, but also a fool.
Qu Ji curled his lips, "Does she think my grandfather is a fool? Does she think that if she complains to him in public, he will listen to her?"
"My grandpa is the most protective of his shortcomings."
His grandfather had seen all kinds of storms, so how could he be controlled by a stupid woman?
Lu Mei's expression of making a complaint and wanting to gain something from it should not be too obvious.
Sure enough, Old Qin frowned.
He said, "I've said so much, but where is the evidence?"
"As far as I know, on the day Lu Shao got married, you colluded with others to frame your own brother."
"Before accepting Lu Shao as my apprentice, I also had someone investigate him."
"What he just said about subsidizing you and your wife is indeed true."
"But you two never remember the favors you have received. You only know how to ask for more."
"Your husband, a scholar, has no integrity at all."
"Now that he has been accepted as my disciple, you want to throw dirty water on him and ruin his reputation. This is simply unreasonable."
"Now he has been adopted by your father, and your family has been divided out."
"As a cousin, how dare you ask Lu Shao for money or things?"
“I believe in the character of my students.”
"If you insist that Lu Shao did it, then just like he said, let's go to the county government to resolve it. This is the most fair and just thing to do."
After he finished speaking, he instructed the housekeeper, "Please ask this Madam Yu to go to the county government office."
The butler nodded respectfully, "Yes."
He turned and went into the yard, and soon brought out two strong women.
The two men stepped forward and took Lu Mei's arm with one hand, "Madam, please come in!"
Lu Mei didn't expect that this great scholar would defend Lu Shao so indiscriminately.
They even forced her to go to the county government office.
She wanted to curse but didn't dare, so she could only struggle and said, "No, I won't go."
"You can't protect Lu Shao just because he is your student."
Old Qin sneered, "If he doesn't even protect his students, then what kind of teacher would I be?"
"Besides, wouldn't it be fair if I asked you to go to the county government office and ask the county magistrate to make the judgment?"
He said helplessly, "If this is all about favoritism, I don't know what to say."
Before accepting him as his disciple, he did read the information that the Seventh Prince had people investigate on Lu Shao.
He was very fond of this little disciple.
It's not just that he has a talent for studying, he's also very intelligent and insightful, not pedantic.
He only accepted two types of students: one suitable for academic study and the other suitable for official career.
Lu Shao is obviously suitable for the latter, so there is no need to be indecisive or too soft-hearted.
He guessed that Lu Shao was responsible for breaking the leg.
But he didn't feel anything was wrong.
If a student does not fight back when being framed and constantly harassed for money, he will expel such a student from his school.
As long as his students don't do anything that goes against principles, is insane, or harms the people, he will protect them to the end.
That's why he took the initiative to come out.
The onlookers were also speechless.
Although Mr. Qin believed in protecting students, he chose the fairest approach.
Going to the county government office and letting the county magistrate make the judgment, is this considered favoritism?
It must be this Lu Mei who framed my brother, so I didn’t dare to go to the county government.
Lu Shao bowed to Mr. Qin again and said, "Thank you, teacher. I will go and take care of this matter right now."
Qin Lao waved his hand lovingly at him and said, "Go ahead."
Then Lu Shao asked the two maids to "support" Lu Mei and go to the county government office together.
His classmates volunteered to help testify.
The onlookers also followed to watch the fun.
When the case went to court, the county magistrate handled it impartially.
After Lu Mei cried and complained again, he asked Lu Mei to produce evidence.
Since Lu Mei couldn't produce it, he didn't make a judgment immediately.
Instead, he asked the yamen runners to find out what happened in the morning and look for those beggars.
After the bailiffs came back, they not only carried Yu Dalang, whose leg was broken, but also called a number of witnesses.
Yu Dalang didn't expect that the matter would be brought to the county government office. He cursed Lu Mei again and again in his heart.
He had no evidence, so of course he didn't dare to directly accuse Lu Shao of ordering his leg to be broken.
But he did talk about how Lu Shao threatened his wife yesterday.
But only Lu Mei heard these words. No one would believe them when they came from her mouth, and they could not be used as evidence.
The witnesses brought by the yamen runners included scholars, vendors, and ladies who were just watching the fun.
Their testimonies were consistent, that is, Yu Dalang had his leg broken because of his own fault.
Not only did he not take responsibility for knocking someone down, he also made sarcastic remarks, causing the other person to become angry and start a fight.
If he sent the person to the clinic to take charge, he would not be beaten.
So how could this be directed by someone? It was clearly his own fault.
The case is now clear.
Lu Shao was framed innocently. Lu Mei falsely accused him in public and was sentenced by the county magistrate to be slapped in the face twenty times in public.
Yu Dalang was also lectured by the county magistrate and was humiliated.
As for those beggars, neither Yu Dalang nor the people watching at the time could see their faces clearly, so they naturally couldn't find them.
