At this critical juncture when he was about to be promoted, it was really not a good thing to cause such an incident. I just felt that I was extremely unlucky, and I hated the people behind the scenes even more.
"Who ordered you?"
Doctor Zhou did not dare to lie: "She is a woman in her forties. I don't know who her employer is, but I was extra cautious and asked my apprentice to follow her back quietly. Finally, I found that she had entered Wanfu on Xianglin Street.
's back door."
The prefect already knew that Chu Yunli had a grudge against the Wan family's aunt. Now with Doctor Zhou's confession, it was basically certain that the person behind the scenes was Wan's Aunt Lin.
"Go and ask Mr. Wan, Mrs. Wan and Aunt Lin to come and talk to us!"
The official responded and left.
Two-quarters of an hour later, everyone arrived, including the woman who Dr. Zhou told her to poison.
Sister-in-law Li took a peek at Mr. Wan, who was getting fatter in his middle years. According to the villagers, Mr. Wan was rich and powerful. He was also acquainted with officials in the DPRK and the Central Government, and no one dared to offend him. But at this moment, he knelt down humbly.
There was quite a bit of trepidation in the courtroom. It was not consistent with the rumored scene of him having a drink and chatting with the officials.
The lost master next to him read Chu Yunli's words about the grievances and Dr. Zhou's confession.
Mr. Wan was full of surprise and looked at the beautiful lady beside him in disbelief. Today, the official came to the door without any warning. Even if he wanted to break his head, he could not imagine that the trouble in this family was caused by a usually soft and gentle person.
Mrs. Wan was similar. She turned her head and glared at Lin Xueyi fiercely. The ferocious look on her face left no doubt that if she hadn't been in court, she would have torn Lin Xueyi to pieces.
After the master finished reading, the prefect asked in a deep voice: "You found someone to plot to kill your ex-sister-in-law. There are both witnesses and physical evidence. Do you admit it or not?"
Lin Xueyi's originally fair face turned pale, she leaned down and said in a trembling voice: "Your Excellency, my sister-in-law said that I wanted to exchange her child for her. There is no way to talk about it. I did give birth to a child before."
After the child was born, Po Wen and the people serving around me can all testify. Before the child was born, I didn’t know that he would... so how could I find another child to take his place? I didn’t have a child that coveted my sister-in-law, so how could I?
Will he have a grudge against her? Since he has no grudge, how can he kill her?"
As she spoke, she broke down in tears, and her body lying on the ground trembled slightly: "I have not been loved by my parents since I was a child, and my life has been miserable. I finally met the master, and I only lived a good life for a few days. I didn't expect that now... now, such a life
If you pour a big basin of dirty water on me, how can I survive?"
She looked at Chu Yunli, broke down and shouted, "Do you want to force me to die?"
He actually pushed it casually and refused to admit anything. He also criticized Chu Yunli and said that Chu Yunli deliberately framed him.
After Lin Xueyi finished shouting, she looked at your mother-in-law again: "Did you ask Dr. Zhou to kill someone?"
The mother-in-law was silent for a while and said, "Yes, isn't this your order from my aunt?"
"This is absolutely not the case!" Lin Xueyi said firmly and kowtowed to the prefect: "These are one by one, and they are linked together. I beg you to restore my innocence."
To an uninformed outsider, things become confusing.
Originally, Luo Hongyue accused someone of killing her, but she didn't drink the medicine. Instead, she seemed to have known that the medicine was poisonous and deliberately took it to complain.
Lin Xueyi looked like she had been wronged again, hinting in her words that someone could not tolerate her, and occasionally glanced at Madam Wan.
Judging from her behavior and expression, it seemed that Mrs. Wan couldn't tolerate her and deliberately set up a trap to harm her.
When Mrs. Wan saw those eyes, she was so angry that she vomited blood. Normally, she was ignored by this little goblin, but such a big thing was still brought against her. She immediately scolded the mother-in-law: "You haven't brought me here for real! I can't do it well in court."
If you reply, you will be tortured, and you deserve to be beaten to death!"
The mother-in-law kowtowed and said seriously: "I just listened to my aunt's orders! You beat me to death, and I said the same thing."
In Mrs. Wan's opinion, this should be the truth, but the mother-in-law showed her loyalty to her with a righteous expression. Who would believe that this is the truth?
Mrs. Wan almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood. She felt that there was no solution to the matter, so she kowtowed to her superiors and said, "I beg your lord to understand clearly. I really cannot handle such a complicated situation."
The prefect also found it difficult. If the mother-in-law didn't kill him, he could still use torture. But the mother-in-law confessed to the crime, but she looked like she had something else going on... With so many people watching, such a confession could not be made.
It's really hard to count.
Chu Yunli looked at this and that, and said: "Sir, does Lin Xueyi covet my child? All you need to do is find a doctor to show her. I dare say that the child who died was not born to her at all.
"There are several doctors present. I believe they can tell if a woman has given birth to a child three months ago. If she has not given birth, she is coveting my child!"
Lin Xueyi's fingers trembled and she hurriedly lowered her head to hide the expression in her eyes, feeling extremely panicked.
Madam Wan didn't know about Lin Xueyi's false pregnancy, but she was happy when someone identified Lin Xueyi. Thinking of something, she quickly asked: "But she has a child again. Can she still see the signs of having a child before?"
Several doctors nodded, and the leader was born: "If it was one or two years ago, maybe you couldn't see it. Three months ago, you could probably see it. It's just... we have to check the traces on her body, and we don't
It’s convenient. It’s best to find a few stable women to check it out.”
If you have given birth to a child and your belly has been stretched, no matter how well you take care of it, you should be able to see some traces after only three months.
Lin Xueyi said loudly: "You can't do this. I didn't do anything, why should you check me?"
The prefect said coldly: "Just because your sister-in-law accused you of stealing her child. Whether this is true or not will be known once we investigate."
As an official, the prefect is responsible for redressing the grievances of the victims. The first person to complain has the initiative.
After Wen Po's break, the magistrate went to the back office, and there was silence in the courtroom.
Chu Yunli turned her eyes and said, "One more thing. I heard that Aunt Lin is pregnant again, right?"
Mrs. Wan has not heard about this matter, but Mr. Wan already knows that it is a good thing for a middle-aged person to have a child. Before today, Mr. Wan was still looking forward to this child, but after these things happened, he really
I don't like Lin Xueyi, who has caused trouble for the Lin family, and I even feel a little disgusted with her. I also don't like this child anymore.
The key is that after Lin Xueyi became pregnant, if she really did those things, would he save her or not?
Mr. Wan was in a dilemma when he heard the woman say again: "Some things are coincidental. My ex-sister-in-law just found out she was pregnant a few days ago, and then Aunt Lin was pregnant again two days later. I don't know why...
…”
Lin Xueyi suddenly raised her head and stared at Chu Yunli.
Hearing this, Mr. Wan was moved in his heart. Now that the matter has come to this, it would be better not to have this child. If the child in front of him lied to him, then this one is probably also a lie. He immediately looked at the doctor over there: "Can you please help me?"
Let her take a look."
The doctor got the approval from the Yamen official and came over to take Lin Xueyi's pulse.
The prefect was not here at the moment, and Lin Xueyi refused to obey at all. She kept struggling, making it impossible for the doctor to feel her pulse.
Mrs. Wan got angry and stepped forward to hold the person down.
Several doctors took the pulse with difficulty and discussed it again. The leading doctor wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "I didn't notice a pulse." Looking at Mr. Wan's ugly expression, he added, "Maybe it's because the weather is so bad."
It’s so shallow that I can’t get it out.”
Mr. Wan: "..."
The previous doctor clearly said with certainty that Lin Xueyi was already one month pregnant. However, the doctors here couldn't even diagnose the suspected happy pulse. They couldn't be inferior to the other one, right?
If one person is right and the other is wrong, it’s really hard to tell who is right and who is wrong.
But this person is right, and so many others are wrong. Is this still worth considering?
Mrs. Wan snorted coldly, glanced at Lin Xueyi disdainfully, and asked several doctors: "Did she give birth to a child three months ago?"
Several doctors stepped back one after another, but the leading doctor came out to answer: "Aunt Lin is in good health and is well nursed back to health. She doesn't seem to have lost her vitality."
As we all know, a woman loses half her life after giving birth, and the lost vitality cannot be replenished for a long time. To say that Lin Xueyi is in good health is to say that she did not give birth to a child three months ago.
A sneer appeared on Mrs. Wan's lips, and she looked mockingly at the dark-faced Master Wan next to her: "You, the Jie Yuhua in the palm of your hand, seem to be quite good at deceiving people. I don't know what those words she said to coax you before were.
True or false.”
Mr. Wan was full of anger at being fooled and ridiculed by his wife. In anger, he kicked Lin Xueyi in the chest so hard that he knocked her to the ground and could not get up for a long time.
Seeing this, the officer on the side immediately stepped forward and scolded: "What are you doing? In court, you are not allowed to hit anyone!"
Lin Xueyi slowly got up. She was extremely fragile. She looked up at Chu Yunli with a hard look: "Is this what you want?"
Chu Yunli calmly nodded and said: "Yes! You stole my child before, but it didn't hurt your life. I found it in time and the child was not taken away. I am too lazy to argue with you. But now, you have to find me.
If someone poisons me, can I still be polite to you?"
The implication is that if you hadn't bullied others too much, I wouldn't have cared about you.
Lin Xueyi's mind went blank at the moment. She seemed to be thinking a lot, but she seemed to be thinking of nothing at all. But there was one thing she knew very well in her heart, and that was... Mr. Wan had abandoned her! No matter whether she could be nice or not today, she would return.
