Chapter 150: Too Many Citizens Request a Hearing
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The next day, at the Supreme Court.
They still had to give face to the Grand Chancellor. Since he had requested that the case not be opened to the public, even if the Minister of Judicial Affairs wanted to do as the Wang family said, he could not go too far. Otherwise, it would not be reasonable to bring this matter to the Sage.
But–
Who would have thought that when the time came for the opening of the court, there would be a sea of people outside the Supreme Court?!
It was crowded with people everywhere. Even when Liu Shimei came, she needed a bailiff to maintain order and make a path for her to get close to the main entrance.
“Eh, isn’t that Eldest Miss Liu? Why did she walk here?”
“Recently, have any of you seen Eldest Miss Liu sit in a carriage? Didn’t she walk everywhere?”
“Oh, isn’t the Grand Chancellor’s Residence too harsh? This Eldest Miss Liu said that she lost her virginity before marriage, but in my opinion, there’s still something else going on. Perhaps it was because of his own family! Look, even his own house was robbed!”
“As the saying goes, one might not be afraid of anything, but he will be afraid of being robbed by a thief. The dignified wife of the Grand Chancellor still wants to covet the inheritance left behind by her stepdaughter’s biological mother.”

The discussion was basically one-sided, especially when they saw Liu Shimei, the dignified daughter of the Grand Chancellor’s Wife and the future Consort Dun Yu, with only a silver hairpin with tassels on her head and her clothes were no longer as gorgeous as before. Many people who had seen her before sighed with emotion.
“Things are the same, but people have changed.”
“Eldest Miss Liu’s position in the Grand Chancellor’s Residence has probably plummeted, right?”
“Haven’t you heard? On the night of the Lantern Festival, the Grand Chancellor had asked the Eldest Young Miss to move out of the best courtyard and gave it to the Second Young Miss. The proud daughter of the Eldest Miss Liu had actually moved into the courtyard that usually entertained the guests of the Grand Chancellor’s Residence!”
“Tsk tsk, this Lord Grand Chancellor is really capable. He doesn’t even blink when he dishes out his punishments!”

Liu Shimei turned a deaf ear to these discussions.
However, Liu Fuyun and Madam Zhang were furious!
Madam Zhang felt as if her face was being rubbed under someone’s feet. She was so angry that she trembled and asked, “What’s wrong with these people? Didn’t we agree not to make it public?”
Liu Fuyun narrowed his eyes and looked at Liu Shimei.
His wife was going to be interrogated, and as her husband, he had to be a judge. Moreover, with him around, he believed that the Supreme Court had no choice but to give him face.
However, who would have expected this situation today? Could it be that Liu Shimei had deliberately arranged this?
At this moment, the Chief Justice, Wang Lan, arrived. The people suddenly became excited.
“Lord Wang! We request to watch the trial!”
“Yes! Does it mean that the Grand Chancellor’s Residence wants to bully the weak and bully their own down-and-out Eldest Daughter?”
“You guys aren’t going to do something inside, are you?”
“We want to watch!”

The situation went out of control.
“Grand Chancellor, what do you think we should do? There are too many people asking for a hearing,” Wang Lan asked as he looked at Liu Fuyun leisurely.
Liu Fuyun found it difficult to vent his anger when he saw that Wang Lan was acting as if this matter had nothing to do with him. After all, Wang Lan was the cousin of Liu Shimei’s aunt, the Wang family. They must have talked to each other long ago. It was already best if Wang Lan could enforce the law impartially. Why would he want to be particularly nice?
That would be difficult!
“Wouldn’t it be better to just close the door of the government office?” Madam Zhang said with a gloomy expression.
“You can’t say that, Madam Liu! You’re a woman from the Inner Residence, so you probably don’t know,” Wang Lan said indifferently. “The Supreme Court often has cases of people trying to overturn their cases. Therefore, once the people know that we’re holding a trial here, they will be very excited.”
He glanced at Liu Shimei, who had lowered her head, and said, “Especially this kind of case where a stepmother bullies a widow.. It can especially resonate with the people!”
