Mrs. Shen clutched her clothes, her lips were so dry that they were peeling. She glanced at Su Yao, feeling pain, regret, and resentment in her heart.
This was something that clearly did not happen, but Mrs. Su San made it sound like it was true.
If they don't like him, if they despise the fact that Su Yao was raised by them from the beginning, they should just not take him back.
After taking the girl back, she was abused like this. How could Su Yao feel embarrassed for a mother to say this about her own daughter in front of so many people? How could Su Yao live her life from now on
How could someone treat someone else's mother like this?!
Lord Qin glanced at Xiao Heng's face from above. He saw that although Xiao Heng still had a faint smile on his face, his whole person had turned cold. He couldn't help but feel a little panicked, and hurriedly urged: "Bring it up quickly!"
This is really a rare thing in the world. However, the case has been tried until now. Magistrate Wang has already sent people to inform the Su family. Why hasn't the Su family made any move? Could it be that the Su family also knew about this matter, but still let Mrs. Su San come out to make trouble
When he thought about this, he became so anxious that he broke out in a sweat.
There were crowds of people outside, even the private rooms of the restaurants next to the government office were full of people. Mrs. Hu stood at the second-floor window looking at the crowd with worry, sweating in her heart. After a long while, she shook her head and sighed: "I really don't know what's going on. This fourth lady Su is really a good person... When she encountered such a big thing, she knew to protect Fengfen. She is a kind and loyal person..."
He doesn't seem like the kind of person who would be so greedy that he would pretend to be someone else and take over someone else's nest.
Madam Yang held her hand and said, "Don't worry. This matter has nothing to do with us. Besides, didn't you see Princess Mingchang's attitude today? She is old and in a high position. Her words can undoubtedly determine a young girl's future. She said such serious things. I'm afraid today's matter will not be small."
Mrs. Hu became even more worried. She shook her head and her eyes suddenly lit up. She pulled Mrs. Yang over and whispered, "Look whose carriage is downstairs? It's such a grand show!"
Madam Yang followed her gaze and looked down, and said in surprise, "Yes, why is Madam Tong here too? She has nothing to do with this matter, why doesn't she stay in the princess's mansion, but comes here to join in the fun?"
Mrs. Hu seemed thoughtful.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Tong Qi Yunxi had already gone up to the second floor and was led by the waiter to a private room nearby. As soon as she sat down, she walked to the window with a mocking smile, took the tea handed over by the maid, looked down and asked, "Where is the interrogation going?"
Someone who had been asking for information heard her ask and quickly replied, "Madam, they are going to take the Shen family's steward to court."
Qi Yunxi slowly took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Is everything done?"
"Don't worry, we've handled it properly." The people below smiled and said, "He's the manager of a merchant family. He has seen some of the world, but he's just rolling around under the carpet. Our people have taken action, holding their families hostage and giving them benefits. How could they not submit under coercion and inducement? Besides, there are people from more than a decade ago..."
The maid had quickly brought a chair for her to sit on. Qi Yunxi sat down smoothly. She was old and her back couldn't stand standing for a long time. She sat in a comfortable position and raised her eyebrows lightly: "Today's play is over, everyone will be rewarded."
Such a big show is worth a lot of money after watching it.
The people below smiled and tried to make her happy. They imitated the boss of the opera troupe and knelt on the ground to show their support: "Okay, thank you for the reward!"
Several people in the room laughed.
As he spoke, he stood up and stood next to Qi Yunxi, watching the excitement below. Not long after, he saw a familiar face squeeze out. It was one of their people, and he must have come to report the news.
Qi Yunxi naturally saw it too, and handed the teacup in his hand to the maid. After waiting for a while, the person guarding the door came in, but his face was not relaxed. He hesitated and ran over to the front and lowered his voice: "Madam, something happened, the two managers are missing."
Qi Yunxi's expression darkened, and he stared at the person in front of him with sharp eyes: "What's going on?"
The man was also confused: "It shouldn't be like this! We always have people watching them..."
Besides, their families are in their hands. They can escape the monk but they cannot escape the temple. They should be very clear about this. Where can they run to
In the court, Lord Qin waited for a long time but did not see the so-called witness of Mrs. Su San. He could not help but urge: "Since you said you brought a witness, why didn't you come after so long?!"
Mrs. Su San herself was a little at a loss and glanced at Nanny Zhong beside her.
Nanny Zhong supported her with both hands and said in a low voice: "Maybe she was delayed by something. Please let the midwife from many years ago come first..."
Mrs. Su nodded, not bothering to think about what was wrong, and said hurriedly: "I also found the midwife from that year, and she can also prove that one of the two girls has a very poor health..."
Lord Qin hummed, then looked at Xiao Heng. Seeing that Xiao Heng just lowered his eyes and didn't say anything, he felt a little relieved: "Bring it up!"
This time the midwife was brought up smoothly, which showed that she was well prepared.
Xiao Heng's gaze turned to the midwife, with a look of extreme coldness in it.
He always thought Su Yao was interesting. He was only in his teens, but he seemed to see through everything. Now it seems that he must have gone through a lot of things to develop the ability to remain calm in the face of emergencies.
Lord Qin slammed the gavel, forcing the midwife to kneel down, and then asked in a cold voice: "How can you prove that the fourth Miss Su in front of you is not the girl you delivered at that time?!"
The midwife was shaking like a sieve, sweating profusely and shivering on the ground. When the gavel hit her, she was like a frightened bird. She replied tremblingly: "I have been delivering babies for decades. I have delivered at least 500 babies. The reason why I have such a deep impression of them is because of the chaos during that period..."
Everyone was silent.
He knew it very well that the war and chaos back then was because someone framed the prince.
Lord Qin coughed and shouted, "So what? You were just helping someone deliver a baby, how do you know that the Fourth Miss Su in front of you is not the real one?!"
The midwife was shaking like a leaf in the autumn wind: "I... When I helped deliver babies, it was raining heavily. The two ladies gave birth to their babies and both asked me to help. But at that time, I clearly remember that one of the girls was born with a loud and powerful cry. She was white and clean, with very little dirt on her body... The other one was covered with bruises..."
