Wu Hongtao happened to look directly at her, his eyes brimming with hatred, resembling a fierce beast that longed to devour Su Yingxue in one gulp!
Su Yingxue shrugged her shoulders, nonchalant as ever. It was as if she was not standing in the proper and solemn court but was sunbathing in her backyard.
Wu Hongtao already hated Su Yingxue to the point that his teeth itched. One of his daughters had broken limbs and was recuperating at home. When he heard that his two son’s careers were ruined, he was so angry that he spat out blood. He was almost angered to death!
Today, he was determined not to spare this wretched Su Yingxue!
“Silence!” Liang Jin sat in a commanding position, dressed in official attire, exuding seriousness.
Despite the pressure from Chu Yihan, he remained solemn and fair.
“Today, there is a case of Wu Hongtao suing Su Yingxue. 1, as the presiding official, am convening this court session. Are both the plaintiff, Wu Hongtao, and the defendant, Su Yingxue, present?” Liang Jin’s tone was authoritative.
Wu Hongtao, with an agitated demeanor, declared, “Lord Liang, 1 am here.”
“Su Yingxue is present,” Su Yingxue responded calmly.
“Su Yingxue, Wu Hongtao accuses you of trespassing into his residence, injuring his daughter, as well as condoning your subordinates to harm his family members and servants, and damaging his property. Do you admit to these charges?” Liang Jin’s voice grew stern as he posed his question.
Su Yingxue nodded and answered, “Replying to Lord Wu, I do not admit to these charges. I merely went to visit a friend and coincidentally encountered Lord Wu’s daughter. 1 intervened when 1 saw she was abusing someone, and 1 saved her with no intention of harming her life. Contrary to Lord Wu’s claims, 1 did not damage his property or permit any indiscriminate harm by my subordinates.”
“Nonsense! My daughter is gentle and well-behaved. How could she attempt to take someone’s life? Your words are nothing but fabrications! You not only injured my daughter but also left her with broken limbs!” Wu Hongtao, agitated, pounded his cane on the ground, producing resounding thuds.
The onlookers outside began to murmur amongst themselves.
Liang Jin slammed his gavel, demanding an order, “Silence! Call forth the witnesses!”
Before long, several of Wu Hongtao’s servants and Wu Ruofei appeared in the courtroom.
Wu Ruofei appeared even more severely injured, bearing unexplained marks all over her body. Though she seemed unable to speak, her eyes bore a venomous hatred for Su Yingxue, fixating on her as if wishing to tear her apart and consume her whole.
Su Yingxue furrowed her brows slightly, wondering how she had incurred such injuries.
As the servants gave their statements, Su Yingxue turned her gaze toward Madam Wu, who was seated on the side of the courtroom. Though still exuding an air of elegance, her complexion appeared pallid, and wrinkles around her eyes were more pronounced.
Upon catching Su Yingxue’s gaze, their eyes locked in the air, akin to a venomous snake concealed within a shadowy cave, hissing its toxic intent toward her.
In an instant, Su Yingxue grasped the situation, Madam Wu had been driven to desperation and resorted to ruthless measures.
The more severe the injuries inflicted on Wu Ruofei, the harsher Liang Jin’s verdict would be when determining Su Yingxue’s punishment.
The corners of her lips curled up slightly. A woman’s heart was the most vicious. They had doted on Wu Ruofei since they were young, but now, in order to avenge their two sons, they had made Wu Ruofei into such a state.
Su Yingxue looked at Wu Ruofei’s tearful face and felt that she deserved it!
When she tortured and killed Wu Jinyan, did she think that this day would come for her?
While Su Yingxue was lost in thought, the servants had finished their testimonies. Liang Jin’s brow furrowed upon hearing them, and he grew increasingly displeased with Su Yingxue, especially upon witnessing Wu Ruofei’s injuries. If this were an ordinary case, he would surely have ordered Su Yingxue to jail and flogging!
Yet, Liang Jin remained committed to seeing the case through to its end. “Su Yingxue, given the presence of witnesses and physical evidence, and the extent of Wu Ruofei’s injuries, your guilt is undeniable. I shall now deliver my verdict….”
