After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the case of the Lu family's daughter-in-law accusing her mother-in-law was also concluded.
Yang Zheng adhered to the principle of punishing both sides equally, strictly ordering Lu's mother-in-law not to mistreat her daughter-in-law henceforth, and likewise, the daughter-in-law must not quarrel back with her mother-in-law. As for the daughter-in-law subsidizing her natal family, there must be a limit. It cannot exceed 20% of her own earned silver.
