“No matter the circumstances, causing harm in public is wrong. Additionally, you previously assaulted Wu Hongtao on the street. Both these incidents have witnesses and evidence. Am I stating the facts correctly?”
Su Yingxue pursed her lips. “No.”
“Then I shall pronounce the sentence. You…”
“Lord, please wait!”
A voice from outside the hall rang out, that was Wu Jinyan’s voice.
Su Yingxue frowned and glanced over. “Sister Jinyan, I told you there was no need to come. I can handle the situation today.”
Wu Jinyan formally declared her identity and, being a witness, Liang Jin permitted her entry into the courtroom.
She walked over to Su Yingxue’s side and spoke gently, “Your troubles were caused for my sake. How could I just stand by?”
Su Yingxue was unsure of how to respond.
Originally, she was concerned about Wu Jinyan’s feelings. After all, it was her father and family who were facing her in court today.
Wu Jinyan stood with a dignified posture in front of Liang Jin. “Lord, my presence is crucial in this case. Regarding the details of Su Yingxue’s assault that day, I have something to say.”
Liang Jin maintained his impartiality. “Please proceed.”
Wu Jinyan had also brought an elderly maid with her. This elderly maid had taken care of Wu Jinyan in the past and had been in the Minister’s Estate for over a decade. However, her status was low. Every time she saw Wu Jinyan being bullied, she could only feel sorry for her, but she could not save her.
Now, Wu Jinyan had brought her to speak the truth. “On that day, Miss Jinyan’s life hung by a thread. If not for Miss Su’s timely intervention, Miss Ruofei would have tortured herMiss Jinyan to death. While Miss Su’s actions were unintentional, Miss Ruofei refused to release Miss Jinyan, leading to a struggle. It was during this altercation that Miss Su accidentally injured Miss Ruofei.
“I have been served in the Minister’s Estate for twenty years, Miss Jinyan has always lived a cautious life, which is why she has been able to grow to this day. She is pitiful. Miss Su did it to save her life. I hope that Lord will take into account Miss Su’s eagerness to save others and sentence Miss Su lightly.”
The elderly maid kowtowed Liang Jin repeatedly, and Liang Jin suddenly felt emotional.
Wu Hongtao regained some strength and stood up, proceeding to kick the elderly maid. “You wretched slave! What use is there in keeping you? Get out of the Minister’s Estate!”
“And you, Wu Jinyan!”
Without hesitation, he slapped her forcefully, causing her to fall to the ground. “I am your father. When have I mistreated you? Now, you’ve conspired with outsiders, harmed your sister, and even testified against your own father. You are an unfaithful and unfilial wretch! I don’t have a daughter like you!”
“Wu Hongtao, you’re asking for trouble!”
Su Yingxue helped Wu Jinyan up, and a murderous look appeared in her eyes.
Wu Hongtao trembled in fear, but before Liang Jin, he was not afraid that Su Yingxue would make a move.
However, what truly terrified him was Wu Jinyan.
Releasing Su Yingxue’s hand, Wu Jinyan softly reassured her, “I’m fine.”
Though Wu Jinyan’s face was flushed red, it didn’t diminish her elegant and refined beauty.
She faced Wu Hongtao and straightened her back. “Father, that slap just now severed all ties with the past!”
Wu Hongtao sneered, “You’re not even worthy to speak such words to me! Your mother was a prostitute back then! I took her in out of pity. And now, you’re emulating her lowly ways, shamelessly seducing others. I should have…”
“Smack!”
Wu Jinyan backhandedly slapped Wu Hongtao across the face.
The atmosphere immediately grew tense.
Even in Su Yingxue’s exquisitely beautiful eyes, there was an expression of disbelief.
The usually gentle and cautious Wu Jinyan had struck her father..
