Chapter 316 A Massive Attack
Before Lady Annam could sort out the facts, Feng Yuerou had already stepped forward, bowed with difficulty to the presiding judge, and said firmly, "Your Honors, when Min Hui died, in addition to my mother-in-law's people and the servants of the Min family, Min Hui's aunt, Wang Zhangshi, was also present."
As she spoke, Feng Yuerou gestured for Wang Zhangshi to speak.
Wang Zhangshi, who had been looking dazed, suddenly snapped to attention and knelt on the ground with a thud. She said in a terrified voice, "It was Hua Conglin, Min Hui's biological father! He killed Min Hui!"
"Thud! The knife plunged into Min Hui's chest!"
As Wang Zhangshi spoke, she gestured as if she were stabbing someone.
"This isn't what we agreed on! He promised us that he would force that vile woman, Min Qiao Shi, to write a confession! He also promised that the An'nan Earl's Mansion would help Min Hui become the Marquis of Xuanping! But why did he kill Min Hui? Why? This isn't what we agreed on! It's not what we agreed on..."
Wang Zhangshi muttered to herself, clearly no longer in her right mind.
But everyone heard every word she said.
Just then, Wang Mian suddenly pointed at Lady Annam, his eyes reddening, and said, "She's the one who killed Min Hui!"
"From the moment Min Hui married the woman from the Feng family, she began plotting to exploit the conflict between Min Hui and Min Qiao to murder Min Qiao!"
"That Hua Conglin was sent by the Marquis of Annan!"
"The stories Hua Conglin told were all meant to fool that fool Min Hui!"
"But he believed it to be true!"
"Min Hui, Min Hui, you're such a fool! You used to listen to your aunt and go against Min Qiao Shi!"
"Later, he listened to the instigation of the Countess of Annam... and ultimately lost his life!"
Wang Mian was visibly agitated, tears streaming down his face, his eyes filled with accusation as he looked at the Lady of Annam.
The sudden change of heart by the Wang couple left everyone speechless.
In this way, the truth of the matter is about to be revealed.
Lady Annam was also furious at Wang Mian's sudden reversal of his words. She immediately pointed at Wang Mian and his wife with a face full of anger and cursed, "You are slandering me! I don't know any Hua Conglin at all! Who is Hua Conglin? Where is he? I have never even seen him, and you want to slander me with nothing but empty words? Dream on!"
"Justice resides in the hearts of the people. Everyone knows the truth. If Lady Annam truly did nothing wrong, why is she so agitated?" Madam Min Qiao looked at Lady Annam with a half-smile.
Lady Annam took a deep breath to compose herself before pointing to her six children kneeling on the ground and saying, "The six siblings all lost their hands overnight. I haven't wronged you, have I?"
Madam Min chuckled to herself, thinking to herself that she had gone too far. Of course, she wouldn't say that outwardly.
However, before she could even speak, Feng Yuerou blurted out, "I paid someone to cut off their hands!"
Lady Annan looked at Feng Yuerou in disbelief, "Why? Why are you helping Madam Min Qiao! This is something you're not capable of doing."
Feng Yuerou was helped to walk to the Lady of Annan. She lifted her sleeve to reveal the fine needle marks on her arm that had not completely disappeared. "During the days I was imprisoned in the West City, they would prick my whole body with needles every day."
"How could that be?" Lady Annam instinctively shook her head in denial.
Under the incredulous gaze of the Lady of Annan, Feng Yuerou ripped open her collar, revealing the still bluish-purple marks on her neck from strangulation. "They ordered me to be strangled multiple times, and each time they would stop at the last moment."
"Do you think you're kind-hearted? No! They just want to torture me repeatedly, to make me experience the taste of death again and again."
Lady Annam's pupils suddenly contracted. Shock, astonishment, heartache, regret, anger... countless emotions intertwined, leaving her stunned and unable to react for a moment.
Feng Yuerou clenched her fists in anguish, her voice hoarse as she said, "You think this is all the torture they've inflicted on me? No! This is just the beginning!"
"Do you know what else they did to me? They..."
"Shut up! Don't say another word!"
Just as Feng Yuerou was about to give up and throw caution to the wind, Min Qiaoshi interrupted her in time.
Ignoring the strange looks from others, Madam Min Qiao stood up, strode over, grabbed Feng Yuerou's wrist, and shook her head resolutely, "Come back with me."
“Mother, please let me speak. I don’t care about anything right now!” Feng Yuerou looked at Min Qiaoshi with teary eyes, her attitude equally resolute.
"Don't worry, I'm not afraid of them even without you. Be good, listen to me, go back and sit down."
Madam Min Qiao gestured to Min Yuexi, who then quickly came over to help Feng Yuerou back to the side.
But Feng Yuerou still refused to leave.
Min Qiao glared at Feng Yuerou, feigning anger, "You're not listening to me anymore?"
Lady Annam watched the scene before her with heartache, tears welling up in her eyes involuntarily.
The daughter she raised for eighteen years was so intimate with her enemy!
But what could she do? This was her only, biological daughter!
I will not pursue the matter of your brothers and sisters losing their hands.
After Lady Annan spoke, Feng Yuerou glanced at her silently before turning around and following Min Yuexi to sit down beside her.
"Clap clap clap..."
Just then, a crisp clapping sound rang out.
Immediately afterwards, Marquis Yongning stood up and looked at Madam Min Qiao with a sarcastic expression, "Madam Qiao, you truly have some clever methods!"
"You're the one who hurt people, but it's Miss Feng who's come forward to confess!"
"So it seems that using Zhen Huan to kill my mother and third daughter is one of your usual tricks?"
Before anyone else could react, the wife of the Marquis of Yongning jumped out as soon as he said this.
"What nonsense are you spouting? Yu Yin'er clearly died by accident. Your mother was also murdered by Lady An'nan! How did it become that Zhen Huan was really wrong? What did their deaths have to do with Zhen Huan? Don't be instigated by others and get caught up in the truth!"
As she spoke, Lady Yongning glanced meaningfully at Lady Annan.
Before Marquis Yongning could refute, Sun Shiming spoke up, "Madam, you should open your eyes wide and see the facts clearly, and not be easily misled by others."
"I believe what Marquis Yongning said is absolutely true! Because my mother was also killed by Madam Qiao!"
After Marquis Yongning and Sun Shiming spoke in succession, everyone looked at Madam Min Qiao with shock, astonishment, and intense curiosity.
Did Min Qiao really do these things?
It doesn't look like it!
But if not, why would these people stand up and point the finger at Min Qiao Shi?
One is a misunderstanding, the other is a coincidence. Did all these people conspire to frame her?
Just as everyone was looking at Min Qiao Shi, Marquis Xuanping Min Rong, who had been silent all along, slowly stood up.
“I can testify that the death of my stepmother, Wang, was indeed related to my mother, Qiao!”
