As she spoke, her eyes stayed on Su Yao, and she felt a little frightened and uneasy in her heart - after saying so much, if it were an ordinary person, no matter how patient they were, they would have at least reacted after being humiliated like this in front of so many people.
But Su Yao didn't.
Not only was she calm, she didn't cry or make a fuss, and there was even no expression on her face.
How does this look like a normal girl who is not even fifteen years old
Even the princesses like Yun Zhang were not as calm as him.
She was not very happy.
Through Su Yao, I seemed to see a familiar shadow.
Qi Yunxi, who was standing next to her, strangely had the same feeling. Through Su Yao, she seemed to see the former Queen Hu.
No matter what time, Queen Hu always looked like a Bodhisattva who was high above everyone else, as if she knew everything and saw through everything, yet she maintained a compassionate heart and looked down on all living beings.
In this life, what Qi Yunxi hates most are these self-righteous people.
Xiao Heng sighed, "Is the Su family's recognition of relatives a joke? Can't they even tell their own children apart? They've been looking for them for several years and they still say such things, and they even want to go to court. How can they work for the emperor's grandfather if they are so confused?"
After he said this, no one knew what to do next.
Even Princess Mingchang couldn't figure out what he meant. She just looked at him, wondering what was wrong with him.
After he finished speaking, he laughed without waiting for anyone to continue. "This is an interesting matter. Since Shuntian Prefecture has found people here, why not go over and see what's going on? Since the Su family dared to go to court, they naturally dared to let others see it, right?"
Princess Mingchang looked at him with a frown, not knowing what he meant.
But he actually said he wanted to go and watch the fun, so he really wanted to go, and he immediately urged Su Yao: "Fourth Miss Su, let's go. Recently, it seems that mistaking children for others has become popular in the capital, and I also want to see what it's like when others mistake their children for others."
His words undoubtedly ignored the fact that he was mistakenly identified as the Song family's illegitimate son and raised for more than ten years, but everyone pretended they didn't hear it.
But since Xiao Heng took the initiative to watch the fun, there are always many people in this world who like to watch the fun, so when Xiao Heng and his friends left for Shuntian Prefecture, many ladies also said goodbye.
Even Princess Mingchang herself could not help but order the steward to go to the Shuntian Prefecture government office to get the news.
It feels both sensational and satisfying.
The more unhappy the people that Queen Hu cared about were, the happier she felt.
By the time Su Yao arrived at Shuntian Prefecture, the outside of Shuntian Prefecture was already packed with people. No one knew where the news had leaked, but everyone knew that today's trial was about the case of the wrong daughter being taken away from the Yongding Marquis' Mansion. Everyone loves to watch the excitement, not to mention that this was an unsolved case that would shock people even among the common people. Even the governor of Shuntian Prefecture attached great importance to it and sent many officials to maintain order.
Lord Qin was already having a headache, and when he heard that Xiao Heng had come, he was even more shocked, and hurriedly took people to pick him up.
Xiao Heng waved his hand, glanced at Madam Su San who was following behind with a half-smile, and helped Lord Qin up: "Lord Qin, there is no need to be polite. I just happened to be at the Princess's Mansion and heard about this matter. I have some friendship with the Su family, so I came here specially to take a look. You can continue to try the case, don't worry about me."
Lord Qin was panicked and wiped the sweat off his forehead, but he could only respond solemnly. He finally sat down in the hall and was a little scared to bang the gavel. He hesitated for a moment before calling out Madam Su San's name: "Madam Su San, the Shen couple have denied your accusation and insisted that there was no substitution, and that they had never given birth to a daughter other than Su Xingxuan. Do you have any evidence to prove that Su Yao is not your daughter, but the daughter of the Shen couple?"
Mrs. Su San was wearing a veil, so she couldn't see Su Yao's face clearly through the veil, but she could imagine the expression on Su Yao's face at that moment.
It must still be that lukewarm look.
This damn girl has always been so self-righteous and conceited.
She silently encouraged herself in her heart, then closed her eyes and said in a deep voice, "I have evidence! My daughter died the second year after she went to the Shen family. But when we found out that Su Xingxuan was not our biological daughter and went to the Shen family, they didn't explain it to us. Instead, they were blinded by greed and wanted to get benefits from our family. They sent the child they gave birth to the year my daughter died back to me as my daughter!"
Mr. and Mrs. Shen were so angry that they were shaking. They were angry and heartbroken. They thought Mrs. Su San was crazy. They could no longer bear it and argued: "You are talking nonsense! It is completely false. There is no such thing!"
Mrs. Shen couldn't help crying out of chilling fear: "How could this happen? If you hadn't come to our house, we wouldn't even know that the child was taken away by mistake. We wholeheartedly treated Yaoyao as our own child. We have only given birth to two children in all these years, a girl and a boy. There is no daughter at all! Not to mention that you used your daughter to gain benefits and took advantage of others. You were the ones who said yes at the beginning, and now you are still the ones who say no. What do you think of the child? If you didn't want to acknowledge the child, you shouldn't have come to our house in the first place..."
She was also full of resentment.
If the Su family hadn't come knocking on their door, Su Xingxuan probably wouldn't have become like that, and Su Yao wouldn't have had to suffer so much.
Both children suffered and were greatly troubled by this process of recognition.
Besides, what benefits can they get
His family was almost destroyed by Su An's suppression...
Only then did Su Yao gently shook his head at Mrs. Shen and called her "mother" softly.
From the moment Mrs. Su San really went out to Shuntian Mansion, Su Yao had already regarded Mrs. Su San as a stranger.
No mother would treat her own child like this, even a tiger would not eat its own cubs. But Mrs. Su San turned right into wrong just because she didn't like her.
That's ridiculous.
Mrs. Shen burst into tears, covering her mouth and sobbing: "My lord, I swear to heaven that Yaoyao is really the child of the Su family. We have never lied, and we have never used her to gain any benefits..."
Mrs. Su San said expressionlessly: "What's the point of swearing to the heavens? If God can really uphold justice, then what is the point of the government?"
Lord Qin had no choice but to slam the gavel and asked Mrs. Su San: "Now that you both hold your own opinions, what evidence do you have?"
Mrs. Su San didn't even look at Su Yao and the Shen family couple, and said calmly: "Of course there is, sir, please summon the Shen family's steward, they can testify."
