The Hunter’s Lucky Little Lady

Chapter 766: Punishment

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In less than two days, Luo Ziyang obtained all the information Li Xiaoran wanted.

After seeing the information, Li Xiaoran’s expression changed drastically. Then, she was glad that she had sent someone to investigate. Otherwise, her cousin might have really suffered a loss if she married him!

On the surface, the Mao family was very simple. Mao Dao had an elder sister, but she was already married. Mao Dao was the only son in the family. It could be said that the Mao family was a relatively simple family.

But in fact, that wasn’t the case.

Mao Dao’s brother-in-law wasn’t a good person. He always coveted everything in Mao Dao’s family.

Of course, he hid his greed from Mao Dao’s sister, Mao Xiaoli.

The reason Mao Dao was heartbroken by his family and his family always compared him to his sister, Mao Xiaoli, was because Mao Dao’s brother-in-law, Qiao Dazhi, secretly instigated it.

However, Qiao Dazhi had done it very discreetly, so people didn’t notice it.

They only thought that Mao Dao’s brother-in-law, Qiao Dazhi, was a reliable man.

The Mao family didn’t Imow, but the Qiao family knew Qiao Dazhi’s personality.

Luo Ziyang arranged for someone to ask around the village where the Qiao family was and found out about the Qiao family’s matters.

The Qiao family had eight sons, and Qiao Dazhi was the youngest.

When Qiao Dazhi got married, the Qiao family wasn’t well-off and they couldn’t give him anything valuable.

Later on, Qiao Dazhi slowly understood the Mao family’s situation. His family’s poverty made him want to take everything in the Mao family for himself.

That was why he secretly fanned the flames and tried to benefit from the Mao family’s strained inner relationship.

Unfortunately, ever since Mao Dao met Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran, everything had begun to change.

What surprised Qiao Dazhi even more was that the couple Mao Dao followed had become the prince and the consort.

Because he was afraid of Luo Cheng’s faction, Qiao Dazhi didn’t dare to mess around anymore.

However, Qiao Dazhi changed his strategy very quickly.

Since he couldn’t take the Qiao family’s things for himself, he planned to use his identity as Qiao Dazhi’s brother-in-law to get benefits from Luo Cheng.

After Mao Dazhi told everyone in their village that his brother-in-law and Luo Cheng were brothers, he became a glamorous figure in the village.

As long as they faced Mao Dazhi, everyone was willing to compromise in order to resolve the trouble.

Everyone knew that Mao Dazhi’s brother-in-law worked for Luo Cheng, so they were a little wary.

It could be said that Mao Dazhi had obtained many benefits for himself in Luo Cheng’s name.

Li Xiaoran was very angry.

“Have you told Luo Cheng about Mao Dazhi using Luo Cheng’s name to seek benefits for himself outside?”

“I’ve already said it. Luo Cheng says he will listen to your arrangements!” Luo Ziyang said.

Li Xiaoran knew that Luo Cheng was being considerate of her. He didn’t want to hurt their relationship because of Mao Dazhi, so he handed this matter to Li Xiaoran.

After all, this matter involved Mao Dao and Zhao Sisi, who was about to marry Mao Dao.

Li Xiaoran pondered for a moment and said firmly, “Get someone to capture Qiao Dazhi and gather all the village chiefs and villagers. Then, we’ll hold a public trial for Qiao Dazhi over his crime of using Luo Cheng’s name to obtain benefits. At the same time, as long as there’s evidence that Qiao Dazhi has received money from others, we’ll have it investigated and order Qiao Dazhi to return it! If Qiao Dazhi can’t pay it back, we’ll send him to work as a laborer to earn money. We’ll release him when he’s done paying it off!”

Luo Ziyang was a little surprised. He didn’t expect Li Xiaoran not to give Mao Dao and Zhao Sisi any face at all.

“If you continue hesitating like this, I’m afraid Miss Zhao won’t have a good life in the future!”

When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Ziyang’s words, she said seriously, “I’ve thought about these things! It’s precisely because I’ve considered Mao Dao and Zhao Sisi’s situation that I have to deal with them strictly! We didn’t know in the past, but now that we know, we naturally have to make an example out of them! If we don’t punish them at the beginning, I’m afraid others will follow suit in the future. If someone dies and there’s a lawsuit, it’ll bring disaster to

Luo Cheng and me!”

“Besides, I also want to use this matter to see the Mao family’s reaction. If the Mao family resents my cousin because of this, there’s no need to get married. Even if the Mao family holds a grudge, as long as Luo Cheng and I are around, the Mao family won’t dare to bully Sisi. As long as the Mao family makes my cousin unhappy, I can bring Sisi home!”

“Besides, Qiao Dazhi was the one who caused this matter. How dare he use your husband’s name to swindle people? If we don’t deal with him, are we going to let him continue to swindle people in our name? I’m already being merciful by not venting my anger on the Qiao family!” Li Xiaoran said angrily.

Luo Ziyang already knew Li Xiaoran’s intentions, so he nodded and did as she instructed.

Li Xiaoran thought for a moment. Although this was the right decision, she should talk to Mao Dao and Zhao Sisi first.

Coincidentally, Li Xiaoran also wanted to talk to Zhao Sisi about the Mao family.

When Li Xiaoran arrived at the shop, it was break time after the first wave of customers left.

Li Xiaoran called Mao Dao and Zhao Sisi outside. Then, the three of them went to a big rock not far away.

“I called the two of you over today because I have something important to tell you!” Li Xiaoran looked at Zhao Sisi and then at Mao Dao.

“Mao Dao, Mr. Luo and I already know that your brother-in-law, Qiao Dazhi, used Mr. Luo’s name to swindle people outside. Ziyang has already arranged for someone to capture your brother-in-law. He will arrange for the people from the government office to conduct a public trial of your brother-in-law in the village. After that, your brother-in -law will be sent to work to earn money to pay off his debts. There’s no room for negotiation. The reason I’m telling you now is to let you be mentally prepared!” Li Xiaoran explained what she wanted to say concisely.

When Mao Dao noticed Li Xiaoran looking at him, he had a bad feeling.

After hearing Li Xiaoran’s words, Mao Dao immediately understood and was furious.

To be honest, Mao Dao didn’t like his brother-in-law very much, since he felt that he was insincere and smarmy.

He really didn’t expect Qiao Dazhi to dare to use Mr. Luo’s name to swindle people. Who gave him the confidence to do so? Wasn’t he harming him?

“Madam, you did the right thing.. You should punish him severely! I really didn’t expect Qiao Dazhi to do this!”
