The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Upon hearing the words, Li Shan turned around and saw Yang Chuxia, and he was instantly startled, "Miss Yang? Why is it you?"

He was truly wishing he could strangle Ms.Hua Junior. What a disaster, the Yang Family wasn’t someone to be easily offended, why did his family end up in Wangshui Town? All because of her.

When he had left years ago, his mother had shown him that letter. The Yang Family had connections with the Mu Family in the Capital City. He couldn’t afford to provoke them.

"Isn’t it me?" Yang Chuxia said with a smile that wasn’t a smile, "So, you’re the owner of the Beauty Pavilion? You’re quite capable, opening such an establishment?"

"Miss Yang, misunderstanding, it’s all misunderstanding," Li Shan hastily waved his hand, "No, this isn’t a misunderstanding, this is a false accusation, this has nothing to do with me. This is all Procuress Hua’s doing, I had no idea. If I had known it was Miss Yang, even if I had the courage of the heavens, I would never dare."

Ms.Hua Junior originally thought the boss would protect her. But who knew that the boss had no intention of doing so. From the looks of it, he even seemed to know this young wench.

Ms.Hua Junior was twisted inside, thinking, ’My son and I are slaving away to make money for you, and when things go wrong, you’re pushing us out? If I can’t live well, neither can everyone else.’

So, Ms.Hua Junior raised her voice and shrieked, "Your Honor, it’s a misunderstanding! It’s all done under the instructions of the boss. How could I, a mere madam, have such power? It’s all him. He liked Yang Chuxia for her looks and thought she could make money."

"Nonsense! You old hag, how dare you slander me?" Li Shan, furious and desperate, didn’t care that they were in court, and kicked Ms.Hua Junior. This kick was especially brutal, causing Ms.Hua Junior to spit out blood on the spot.

But even so, Ms.Hua Junior still didn’t admit her guilt. Even when the County Magistrate questioned the innkeeper and the waiters, and even those thugs, who all pointed fingers at her, Ms.Hua Junior still vehemently denied it, pushing all the blame onto Li Shan.

When Ms.Hua Junior still wouldn’t admit her guilt to such obvious evidence, County Magistrate Shen had no choice but to resort to severe punishment.

"Administer punishment, drag her out and give her twenty lashes!"

"Yes."

The people in court listened as the lashes fell one after another. Just by the sound, one could tell the blows were heavy. By the time Ms.Hua Junior was brought back, blood was seeping from her wounds.

"Ms.Hua Junior, do you plead guilty or not?"

"Bah, I deny it!"

Thus, County Magistrate Shen had her taken away and beaten again, but Ms.Hua Junior still wouldn’t admit her guilt. Where this stubbornness came from, no one knew, as though she wasn’t willing to give up until Li Shan was brought down with her.

After six rounds of sixty lashes, and looking like she was half dead, she still refused to admit her guilt. As for Ye Zi’yong, he was just a brainless fool, refusing to talk once they entered the courtroom.

County Magistrate Shen did not have the patience any longer, thinking, ’whether you admit it or not, that’s it, everyone else has accused you, so it’s not wrongful conviction.’

So, Ms.Hua Junior and Ye Zi’yong were taken away. Given that they had both committed crimes and served time before, their chances of getting out this time were slim.

In fact, neither Ms.Hua Junior nor Ye Zi’yong made it out. Ms.Hua Junior was sent to prison and died from an infected wound that night. She developed a high fever and soon passed away.

As for Ye Zi’yong, who had been living a comfortable life in the Beauty Pavilion for the last two years, his delicate skin and tender flesh were far too appealing for the hardened criminals inside. Not to mention that his body was already weakened. He didn’t last long in prison before he was violated to death, his end even worse than his brother’s.
