After Becoming the Villain Mother-in-Law, I Launch My Redemption Arc Chapter 83: Then Let Them Share the Same Guilt!

"Mother, I have no choice. Before the County Magistrate, I dare not lie. Don’t worry, once you’ve been punished, I’ll certainly find a good doctor for you. While you serve your hard labor, I’ll ensure you have als every day so you never go hungry."

Does eating enough make it easier to work?

This wretch calls this filial duty?

"Sir, this woman is old; how can I endure the punishnt and hard labor? I have a son; let him take the responsibility for , can he?" Sun wailed with snot and tears.

The County Magistrate nodded thoughtfully, "Zhou Country’s law does indeed have this clause, but only if the children are willing."

In the past, words were just words, and no one seed more filial than ng Cheng, but that’s before things got serious.

Selfish as Sun is, how could she raise a son who would bear the guilt for her?

"Sir, the commoner is unwilling. A child’s faults are the parents’ wrongdoing. If she hadn’t failed in educating , how could today’s situation occur? Back then, ng Yao’s relatives gave silver, asking my parents to raise her. My mother took the silver but didn’t treat ng Yao well. I thought such actions were right because of this upbringing," ng Cheng declared confidently, "That’s why, when my brother-in-law got into trouble, and my mother suggested getting so silver, I didn’t see it as wrong."

Sun jumped and cursed ng Cheng, while ng Yao listened in embarrassnt. So, this is how Sun truly is.

This is truly her real capability.

It’s astonishing beyond words!

The County Magistrate furrowed his brows, likely never witnessing such a mother-son confrontation.

The village chief was sweating profusely but dared not make a fuss in front of the County Magistrate.

"Since we cannot distinguish the mastermind, then let it be the sa punishnt. I rule that both of you are masterminds. Do you accept this?" The County Magistrate’s voice was stern.

Sun and ng Cheng fell silent.

"Mastermind’s cri is more severe." The County Magistrate continued, "Twenty lashes, six months of hard labor."

Sun wailed.

ng Cheng pleaded.

But how can their cries affect the punishnt?

As for ng Qingshan, the County Magistrate reprimanded him, as he too was accountable as Sun’s husband.

Moreover, how could he be completely unaware of such matters?

Similarly, the village chief was scolded, seeing as such an incident occurred in his village.

"Enough, this no longer concerns you." The County Magistrate signaled ng Yao and others to leave.

Lin believed she could also depart, but was stopped by the County Magistrate, "You may not leave."

The Daoist was sought by Lin Jinbao, and Lin was Lin Jinbao’s sister. They must determine any connection among them; the others must be retained and judged afterward.

"Sir, this woman reported their forgery of loan notes, that’s credit, isn’t it? Regarding the Daoist matter, I truly knew nothing. I rely heard from my brother that the Temple Master of White Cloud Temple was skilled, so I asked him to seek soone. I really don’t know anything! ng Yao, please speak to the magistrate for ! If it weren’t for my reporting them, how would you know the truth?" Lin pleaded with ng Yao.

"Had you revealed the forgery at its inception, it would undoubtedly be ritorious." ng Yao responded indifferently.

Because of this remark, the County Magistrate gave ng Yao a second glance, thinking inwardly, this woman’s mind was quite clear.

"ng Zhu, ng Zhu was also an accomplice." Lin cried out.

"Who is this ng Zhu?" The County Magistrate inquired.

"Responding to your honor, she is the eldest daughter of the ng Family, and this woman’s elder sister. If she hadn’t protected , who knows if I could have grown up. Moreover, when they forged loan notes, my elder sister had already been married for several years. Apart from visiting during holidays, she didn’t often return ho. Also, after my husband got into trouble, she repeatedly helped through adversities." ng Yao replied calmly.

Upon hearing this, the County Magistrate nodded, "Thus, it seems unrelated to her. However, this official cannot just take your word for it. Officers, summon ng Zhu."

"Sir, my elder sister is now pregnant and can’t bear any fright." ng Yao said, "Would you consider sending a trusted officer to accompany this woman for verification?"

"As you suggest." The County Magistrate replied.

"Defamation results in ten lashes, fine silver of five taels." The County Magistrate addressed Lin.

Thus, Lin not only failed to absolve herself but also earned punishnt.

ng Yao felt sowhat pleased, her perception of the County Magistrate improving.

"Master, master!" A small servant in gray clothing rushed in with a face of urgency, "An Ge has no breath!"

The County Magistrate’s face changed with shock, his steps staggered.

"What transpired, young man?" ng Yao caught the person, inquiring.

"My young master choked while eating..." The servant cried softly.

ng Yao swiftly chased the County Magistrate away.

The Zhao Family knew ng Yao went for sothing, but the village chief didn’t, anxiously fretting in place; this was the County Governnt, how could ng act so recklessly, barging everywhere!

ng Yao and County Magistrate arrived one after another at the rear courtyard of the County Governnt.

"Sir, this woman knows rudintary dical skills." ng Yao’s tone was resolute.

At this mont, An Ge’s small face had already turned purple.

His breathing was weak, contrary to the servant’s claim of having no breath.

ng Yao didn’t wait for the County Magistrate’s response, directly kneeling behind An Ge, her arms encircled An Ge’s waist, keeping his upper body inclined, one hand clenched in a fist, positioned two finger widths above An Ge’s navel, her other hand wrapped around the fist, rapidly and forcefully thrusting upward towards An Ge’s upper back. (Heimlich maneuver, a specially learned ergency thod.)

The servant wailed anxiously, rushing forth to pull ng Yao, "You, you, An Ge is grim, why are you hitting him?"

"I can save him."

The County Magistrate held the servant back, "Believe her."

The ergency intervention was promptly tid, An Ge successfully expelled the foreign object, though his face remained purple, his breathing faint, consciousness unclear.

ng Yao then perford CPR, and gradually, An Ge regained consciousness, beginning to sob.

"The child is young, sticky cakes like these, should be eaten less. If you must, avoid large pieces. In the future, as parents, pay more attention. This ti the swift rescue prevented any serious harm!" ng Yao’s tone was sowhat cold; the child looked only three or four years old, clearly due to negligent care.

The County Magistrate solemnly bowed to ng Yao, "Many thanks for saving my son’s life!"

ng Yao swiftly dissociated herself from the role of ergency doctor, aware this was the County Magistrate, a regional parental official, not daring to accept his courtesy.

"Sir exaggerates, this woman studies dicine, healing the sick and saving lives is her duty." ng Yao hurriedly responded.

"The dical hall is two streets from the County Governnt, without the lady, my son would have perished by now." The County Magistrate looked frightened.

"Sir is upright and honest, naturally averting calamities." ng Yao proffered small flattery.
