He glared at Su Yingxue with resentment, but Su Yingxue simply smiled indifferently, as if to say, “Is it so difficult for her to save their families?”
It wasn’t.
She couldn’t directly intervene with these servants, but she had indeed saved their families!
And as for who was right or wrong, everyone who had been through it knew well enough. She didn’t need to do much, justice speaks for itself.
Chu Xiaotian’s heart sank. “Su Yingxue!”
He had actually been defeated by her here!
His disappointed gaze then fell upon Su Han. “Han’er, is this what you wanted me to see?”
He had been utterly defeated in front of Su Yingxue!
Su Han knelt in the hall, her frame slender, her back straight, not even sparing him a glance.
Chu Xiaotian was shaken by her cold resolve.
Never had Su Han hurt him like this before.
If it weren’t for the fact that they were in public, he would have brought out the letter from his embrace and questioned her about it!
If she had written to him expressing longing, why was she so heartless in public?
After Liang Jin finished interrogating the servants of the Regional Prince’s Mansion, he proceeded to interrogate Min Jia and Madam Sheng. Su Han had accused them of plotting against her.
Liang Jin had the worms and eggs taken from the lotus pond, as well as the workers who had cleaned the pond for Min Jia. The workers confessed that Min Jia had instructed them to intentionally release those worms into the pond. They didn’t know the purpose, but they were paid to do it.
In Min Jia’s courtyard, some servants confessed that she had intentionally caused Su Han to fall into the water.
Su Yingxue also testified in court that she had performed surgery on Su Han and confirmed that Su Han was indeed a victim.
Madam Sheng was in a panic. She knew about Min Jia’s actions, even condoning them.
However, Min Jia had initially assured her that it was just a minor punishment and that she had no intention of taking her life.
She had not anticipated the situation escalating to such an extent.
“Min Jia County Lord, do you admit to framing Su Han with the worms in the lotus pond?” Liang Jin questioned sternly.
Min Jia shook her head fearfully. “I don’t admit it! I don’t admit it!”
Madam Sheng, composed and resolute behind her, knew that as long as Min Jia didn’t confess, there was still a chance to salvage the situation. She had her husband and son to rely on. They wouldn’t be sentenced as long as Min Jia didn’t confess.
“My lord, I’m not feeling well and I want to rest!”
Liang Jin frowned slightly. He wouldn’t allow an ordinary prisoner to be excused, but seeing Min Jia being carried in with a broken leg, he allowed her to rest.
When Min Jia reached the lounge with a cubicle, she sent someone to summon Su Yingxue.
The maid awkwardly informed Min Jia, “County Head, Su Yingxue said she won’t come. If there’s anything, she asks you to find her yourself.”
Min Jia looked at her broken leg. She couldn’t walk, but she was consumed with worry!
Until now, Su Jinxuan hadn’t appeared. The entire Marquis’s Manor family had mobilized, even Su Yingxue’s seemingly inconspicuous father had come. Why hadn’t Su Jinxuan shown up?
Had Su Yingxue made things difficult for him in the Marquis’s Manor and harmed him?
The more Min Jia thought about it, the more anxious she became. She couldn’t bear it any longer. She grabbed a cane and got out of bed.
“County Lord, your leg hasn’t healed yet! You shouldn’t be walking!”
“Get lost!”
Min Jia leaned on her cane, each step causing excruciating pain. But for Su Jinxuan’s sake, she would endure any pain to confront Su Yingxue.
Su Yingxue stood under the veranda, basking in the rare autumn sunlight. She squinted her eyes, tilting her head back, enjoying the sun’s warmth.
“Su Yingxue, you wretched woman!”
