"Today I finally understand what it means to turn the tables," Xia Chunmei said calmly. "What evidence do you have to prove that those letters were forged by me and Young Master Du?"
What evidence do you have to prove that we conspired to frame you?
Young Master Du is a tycoon. Framed Du Lanlan, the Du family's reputation is ruined. What good will that do him? Have you ever considered that it was you or Miss Du who committed the crime?
Xia Chunmei turned to He Bo and said, "Sir, I did receive some letters about the correspondence between Fan Baowen and Miss Du, but I did not forge them. I don't know who put them on my window. Please investigate, sir."
Xia Pingan stole the items; it's no wonder they couldn't find out!
"This is only the second time I've met Miss Xia today. As for the so-called affair, in my opinion, that's just their excuse to exonerate themselves. I implore Lord He to investigate and give us justice!"
Du Bin clasped his hands in a gesture of respect and bowed to He Bo.
"The matter is complicated, and I need to investigate and collect evidence. Guards, arrest the suspect and put him in jail. We will hold court again on another day!" With that, he slammed the gavel and left the courtroom.
"Sir, we are innocent!"
"I'm innocent, Your Honor!"
The Fan family members cried out that they were wronged.
"Xia Chunmei, you bitch! You ruined my whole family! I curse you, I curse your whole family, may you die a horrible death..." Fan Jiangshi was dragged away, but her sharp, piercing voice still echoed...
In fact, Xia Chunmei didn't expect to convict the Fan family today.
Now that the entire Fan family of three has been arrested and imprisoned, Xia Chunmei has accomplished half of her goal.
Given the current situation, it is impossible for Du Jinghua and his wife to recant their testimony. On the contrary, they would be even more eager than Xia Chunmei for Fan Baowen to prove these crimes as soon as possible.
Because they are not innocent, and only in this way can the Du family feel at ease.
Xia Chunmei believed that the Du family would do everything they could to prove the Fan family's guilt!
Fan Mingli, Fan Jiangshi, and Fan Baowen were temporarily detained, while Xia Chunmei, as the victim, and Du Bin and Xia Xintian, as witnesses, were all kept behind for separate questioning.
He Bo asked very detailed questions, but Xia Chunmei knew what she should and shouldn't say, and she had already rehearsed her statements with Du Bin.
However, in order to stay informed about the latest developments, Xia Chunmei asked Xia Ping'an to follow the county magistrate.
As for the Du family, Xia Ping'an helped her make some arrangements in the underworld, so Ling Xiaoxiao was able to stay in the human world for a while, and she took on the task of monitoring the Du family.
It was already noon when I came out of the government office.
"Uncle, let's go have lunch first, and then we'll go back." Xia Chunmei touched her purse. "But we'll have to make do with lunch for now."
After paying for lodging and food, plus the "gift" given to Constable Zhang last night, Xia Chunmei had very little money left.
"Eating out is expensive, let's eat at home and not waste that money."
“How can eating it be considered a waste? But I need to take Yaomei to the clinic for a follow-up visit first, and I also need to have my injury checked.”
Xia Chunmei's chest hurt a lot, and she didn't know if her internal organs were damaged. Moreover, the doctor's words last night were ambiguous, and she had to make a trip there no matter what.
"I saw a wonton stall next to the clinic. Let's just have a bowl of wontons for lunch."
Xia Chunmei ordered three servings of wontons from a stall outside the clinic. Xia Xintian ate first, while Xia Chunmei took Yaomei to her follow-up appointment.
"Doctor, I'm here."
Upon seeing Xia Chunmei bring her younger sister into the consultation room, the senior doctor immediately sent his young apprentice away.
"Doctor, now that we're all alone, please tell me the truth: do I have some incurable disease?"
Early this morning, Xia Chunmei sensed that he had something to say to her, but because Xia Huohua and Xia Xintian were both there, she didn't say it and instead told her to come back during the day.
"Young lady, you're pregnant."
"What"
Xia Chunmei thought there might be something wrong with her health, so she didn't tell the doctor in front of others in the early hours of the morning. She never expected that she was pregnant!
It was just one night, does it have to be this dramatic?
"Doctor, are you sure you're right? Maybe you've mistaken me for someone else. Why don't you take my pulse again?" Xia Chunmei said as she reached out her hand.
“Young lady, I haven’t misremembered you. You are pregnant, and quite far along in your pregnancy. I wouldn’t have misread your pulse.”
The doctor noticed that Xia Chunmei wasn't dressed like a married woman and guessed that she wasn't married yet. That's why he didn't reveal this to others last night, in order to protect the patient's privacy.
Xia Chunmei still couldn't believe it; how could she be pregnant?
She felt she had gained a little weight recently, and thought it was because she was eating better. She never expected that she was pregnant!
What should we do?
