Due to Yu Wenbo's covert pressure, the two brothers from the Hu Family agreed to take the blame.
Song Prefect initially didn't wish to truly offend the Yu Wen family. Seeing someone admitting responsibility and since the Wei Family had no new evidence, Song Prefect proceeded with the declaration in court.
The Yu Wen family was fined five hundred taels of silver for not properly supervising their servants.
The Hu Family brothers conspired to deceive, using the master's name to swindle silver under the pretense of marriage, both were sentenced to fifty lashes and three years in prison.
The five thousand taels swindled from the Wei Family should not be pursued by anyone.
The marriage between the two families is nullified and shall not be mentioned again.
Second Master Wei let out a sigh of relief and thanked Song Prefect.
