Chapter 312: A Noble Family
It was all clichéd nonsense, and Bei Jingchu didn't even listen to it.
Her sympathy was not for women, but for the weak who had suffered injustice.
Mrs. Chang has become a murderer, how can she be said to be innocent?
The purpose of the anti-normal Ting Yi was the last sentence: "Your Highness, please forgive her this time because she is still young and it is her first offense."
After the petition, the next step is to exchange for benefits.
"The Chang family often interacts with the prince, and Mo Qing happens to be the prince's companion."
"Your Highness has done a favor to Chang, and Chang should also bring some conveniences to the prince."
"Your Highness has an official named Qin under his command. I think he is old enough to be promoted."
Bei Jingchu was speechless.
"Is a year a long time?"
"The murderer will not be punished with life for life, but only with one year in prison."
Chang Tingyi replied: "Your Highness, she is just a maid. How could she ask her master to pay her life for hers?"
"Yeah, that's not possible now."
"So your sister is really lucky that she broke the law at this time."
Bei Jingchu thought about the various cases she had seen since she was born.
"I have always felt that the laws of Dai Viet are not perfect. For example, those who kidnap and sell innocent people will only be sentenced to three years in prison, even though their lives will be ruined."
"Killing an innocent maid will only result in one year in prison."
"I will change step by step, but since the law has not changed, I will sentence you as you should."
"So she got away with it."
"Want to show favoritism...are you worthy?"
Bei Jingchu tried his best to hide the sarcasm on his face, but he couldn't.
Even her words were filled with hostility: "My dear, Chang Tingyi, even though you are in the deep palace, I have heard of your good name in the past."
"You are indeed well-mannered and gentle. But now it seems that you and Chang are just scum who only care about small matters but not big principles."
Chang Tingyi wanted to explain.
Who would take a servant's life seriously? Aren't all the powerful and wealthy the same?
But the prince was already impatient and waved his hand, saying, "Send the guest out."
He choked and had to retreat.
After returning home, Mrs. Chang was waiting for him in the yard.
Seeing him coming back, she hurried to meet him.
"Brother, how is it?"
"Damn it, you even dared to sue me."
"We have already compensated them. Ten taels of silver can buy two servants. Why are they still making trouble?"
"Are you greedy and want more money?"
"Brother, you can't spoil those hungry lowly people."
Another young man scolded her: "How could a scum like you appear in our family?"
"I told you to control your temper."
"Servants are worthless. If you kill them, you can just buy new ones. But if you want to beat or kill them, you have to go home quietly."
"No one can prove that you killed him."
"And then you killed someone in the street."
Mrs. Chang glared at him aggrievedly, then looked at her brother and said coquettishly, "Brother, help me~ I don't want to go to jail~"
"Even if I get a better cell after all the arrangements, I won't even have anyone to serve me. How am I supposed to survive?"
Chang Tingyi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Who am I? Why should I save you from the prince?"
She truly loves her people like her own children and hates evil like her own enemies.
Uphold the laws of Dai Viet and never give in.
How could a mere Chang have the qualifications to force a crown prince to go against her principles?
The girl was anxious and shouted, "Why can't it be done? It's obviously you who are not doing your best."
"We are such a prestigious family, even the Yue Dynasty is not as old as ours."
"I just killed a maid, why should I go to jail?
Another person scolded, "Little sister, how can you yell at your brother? Where are your manners?"
Madam Chang calmed down and bowed to apologize: "I'm sorry, brother, I lost my composure."
Chang Tingyi suddenly saw the mocking smile of the little prince and her words: "He cares about little things but not big things."
Chang Tingyi felt a headache.
It's just beating a servant to death, how can it be unrighteous?
But in this matter, they were indeed in the wrong.
At this time, the servant came to report: "Sir, the soldiers are already outside the mansion."
"I'll ask them to wait a moment, what do you think...?"
Chang Tingyi could only educate his sister: "I told you long ago that no matter how arrogant the noble families are in private, they are all citizens of Dai Yue in public."
"You were too arrogant this time."
In the hopeful eyes of Mrs. Chang, he said reluctantly: "Brother will arrange everything for you and won't let you be too sad in there."
"Just go ahead."
Chang Tingyi was very tired and went back to his room.
Only Mrs. Chang and Chang Erlang were left outside.
The girl grasped the edge of the stone table tightly to keep herself steady.
"how is this possible?"
"Why can't even my brother save me?"
"He was promoted to the position of Vice Minister at a young age. He is the most capable elder brother and the pride of the Chang family."
"Killing a maid is such a big deal that even my brother can't save me?"
The extremely domineering person started crying: "Didn't Father always say that the family's foundation is deeper than that of the Yue Dynasty?"
"Why can't you even protect me?"
Looking at his spoiled little sister, Chang Erlang could only sigh.
