“This… How can this be true? How could a conflict between two daughters result in such injuries? Ruofei is a bit hot-tempered, but she wouldn’t have inflicted such severe harm! It was this Su Yingxue who attacked my daughter without any reason, so I went to confront her on Ruofei’s behalf. But then Su Yingxue…”
“And she even attacked me! Lord Liang, you have to help me with this matter!”
Wu Hongtao pretended to be a victim along with Wu Ruofei.
Liang Jin looked at Su Yingxue. “Miss Su, this pulse chart doesn’t prove anything. Where is Wu Jinyan? If you want to sue Lord Wu, I need to send someone to examine the injuries.”
Su Yingxue nodded. “Wu Jinyan is recovering in my clinic. Lord Liang can send an officer to examine her injuries at any time, but please send a female officer.”
“Of course.”
Liang Jin waved his hand, and his subordinate immediately brought the female officer to the clinic.
The round trip was swift. The female officer returned with a report. “Sir, I have examined Miss Wu’s injuries. They are exactly as described in the pulse chart. If she hadn’t been rescued in time, she might have lost her life.”
Liang Jin was enraged upon hearing this. He pointed at Wu Hongtao and said, “Lord Wu, what kind of father are you? Do you consider the children born from concubines, not your blood, not your daughters?”
Wu Hongtao was caught off guard by the scolding. He had forgotten that he was initially trying to cover up for Wu Ruofei. “Lord Liang, please calm down. It’s not like that! Su Yingxue is making baseless accusations. Ruofei is a good-hearted child. She is just a bit spoiled…”
“Spoiled? But when I saved Wu Jinyan, I heard Wu Ruofei say she wanted to torture Wu Jinyan to death. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have accidentally injured her. Ultimately, I was trying to save Wu Jinyan’s life. Lord Wu, please don’t take offense if I harmed your precious daughter.” Su Yingxue immediately shifted all the blame onto Wu Hongtao and exaggerated it.
Wu Hongtao forgot to defend himself for a moment. He pondered whether he had truly gone too far.
After a moment of contemplation, he regained his composure and angrily accused Su Yingxue, “You’re being unreasonable. It was you who barged into my residence, injured my daughter, and even attacked me. It’s all your fault!” “And Lord Wu is not at fault? You allow your daughter to commit murder and disregard her life! You are an uncompassionate father and an unjust official, yet you dare to sue me before Lord Liang?” Su Yingxue raised an eyebrow, resembling a small lion baring its claws.
Wu Hongtao’s face turned red from being scolded. “I have been an official for many years, known for my integrity. You are slandering me! Slandering an official of the imperial court is an additional crime!”
“I will leave it to Lord Liang to judge whether I’m guilty or not. As far as I recall, last month, the assistant of the Ministry of Justice had close connections with you. When he visited your residence, he even brought in several boxes through the back door of the Minister’s Estate. I wonder what those boxes contained?”
Su Yingxue tilted her head innocently.
Her words pierced into Wu Hongtao’s heart like a steel needle.
This Su Yingxue was indeed a peculiar creature, knowing even about that incident!
“Don’t make baseless claims without evidence! Su Yingxue, you have injured me and my daughter. I will not let this matter rest!” He turned to Liang Jin and cupped his hands. “Lord Liang, as the capital governor, please judge this matter fairly!”
Liang Jin’s face darkened as he glanced at him.. “I will deliver a fair judgment, but Lord Wu, you cannot escape the consequences! Allowing your daughter to commit murder is indeed a grave crime!”
