County Magistrate Zhai was just about to speak when Xia Xia excitedly exclaimed, "You're lying! Lady Xin wasn't married off, she chose her own groom, Brother Yan's entire estate belongs to Lady Xin and Zhou Yin. You seized their property while Lady Xin was away!"
County Magistrate Zhai glanced at Zhou Man and leaned back in his chair to drink tea, letting them argue among themselves.
Sure enough, Xia Yi's face turned red as he immediately retorted, "Uncle Xia, don't talk nonsense. They never returned after leaving as a couple. Who knows if Zhou Yin is a fraud who ran away with Lady Xin? Our clan had no choice but to divide Brother Yan's estate. We couldn't just leave the houses empty and the land fallow, could we? And don't forget, you also took their shop."
Xia Xia sneered, "The shop still belongs to Lady Xin. I've been saving the rent for her all these years, unlike you all... cough cough..."
