Chapter 155: Court Case 2
When Wu said this, the people watching outside the court were in an uproar.
"Oh my God! From what she said, Shen Zhixu is actually her and Qin Kaiji's son. This is shocking enough. I didn't expect Qin Xian to switch his child with the Marquis's. This is simply unbelievable."
"The incident between Qin Xian and Qin Xiao was shocking enough, but I didn't expect something even more shocking to come."
"The Qin family is such a mess. How can we even tell the generations apart? Apart from anything else, should Shen Zhixu call Qin Xian grandma or great-aunt?"
"That's not all! If we hadn't listened to what Wu said before, Qin Kaiji, Qin Xiao, and Qin Hui would have all died at the hands of Shen Zhixu. It's true that bad bamboo can't produce good bamboo shoots!"
“…”
The onlookers were talking about everything, and they all looked at Shen Zhixu with undisguised contempt.
Even Pei Zhi was a little shocked. He narrowed his eyes slightly and did not rush to speak. Her attitude towards the children suddenly changed, but had she already known about this?
This matter was of great importance, so he immediately sent someone to invite Xie Changning.
"Since Madam said so, then I would like to ask Madam, do you think that the Marquis' Mansion is a vegetable market and anyone can replace Madam Marquis's child? Not to mention why Qin Xian did this? You said that I am your son with Qin Kaiji, but what evidence do you have? We can't just rely on Madam's words!" A trace of panic flashed in Shen Zhixu's eyes, but he quickly calmed down.
So many years have passed, and Qin Xian is dead. He doesn't believe that Wu has any evidence.
After all, even Xie Changning has no evidence.
As long as Wu couldn't produce any evidence, he would still be surnamed Chen, and not the illegitimate offspring of her and Qin Kaiji.
Little did Wu know that this was exactly what he was waiting for. "Are you sure I can't produce evidence? Then let's start with why Qin Xian wanted to replace the Marquis's child! Qin Xian was injured when she gave birth to Qin Kaiji. It's very likely that she will never have another child in this life. Shen Wenyuan is not Qin Xian's son at all. He is the child that Qin Xian asked someone to steal from her half-sister, Qin Yi."
"Qin Yi has been crazy for so many years because of this child. I guess she must still remember her child. We just need to invite Qin Yi here and ask her."
Pei Zhi immediately sent someone to invite Qin Yi.
"I know this Qin Yi. She's Madam Ye. Didn't they say she gave birth to a stillborn baby and became insane ever since?"
Wu said loudly: "What dead fetus? Qin Xian used the dead fetus of a concubine in the mansion to exchange for Qin Yi's child. She first faked the pregnancy, and then used all means to snatch someone else's child and pass it off as her own."
"That's why she was so calculated to replace the Marquis' wife's child. She wanted to give the title of Marquis to her own son. If she couldn't give it to her own son, then she would give it to her grandson. After all, they are all her bloodline, and in her eyes, they are all the same. That's why you were able to become the Marquis's heir. Little did she know that you, the heir, were just a fake."
The word "fake" immediately irritated Shen Zhixu's nerves, and his calm face began to crack. "Whatever you say, where is the evidence?"
"Don't you want evidence? This old slave is the living evidence." Before he could finish his words, two guards appeared in the court with Mother Wei.
Wu had long expected that Shen Zhixu would not admit this, so she asked Pei Zhi to send someone to find Wei Mama.
"Back then, after Madam was pregnant, Qin Xian ordered someone to secretly bring Madam back to Kyoto and raise her in a separate courtyard. When Madam gave birth to you, this old servant was watching by her side. After Madam gave birth, Qin Xian sent word that the eldest son of the Marquisate had a birthmark on his arm, and asked Madam to find a way to fake one for you."
Mother Wei paused, "I remember it clearly. Madam found a doctor who used a special medicine and a needle to create a fake birthmark on your arm. I was afraid the birthmark would fade over time and give away my identity, so I asked the doctor about it. He told me that only another special medicine could remove the birthmark on your arm."
She immediately mentioned the special medicine.
Pei Zhi immediately asked people to prepare.
This was something Shen Zhixu had never expected. He couldn't help but feel a little panicked because he did have a birthmark on his arm. He always thought it was congenital, but he didn't expect it to be man-made. However, he didn't show it.
At this time, he must not lose his composure.
What if that old woman, Mother Wei, was deliberately deceiving him and wanted to expose his true colors?
He must not be fooled.
Wu gave him a sarcastic look, "You beast, you'd never guess that!"
Soon the guards prepared the medicine that Mother Wei mentioned.
Xie Changning arrived at the right time, and she attracted everyone's attention the moment she appeared.
Mother Du supported her, and under the gaze of everyone, she stepped into the lobby of the Ministry of Justice step by step. She looked at Wu with sharp eyes and said, "Are you telling the truth? Qin Xian asked someone to replace my child. Shen Zhixu is not my son at all?"
Shen Zhixu dragged his crippled leg, his eyes red as he hurried to Xie Changning. "Mother, don't believe her. She's deliberately trying to sow discord between us."
Xie Changning glanced at him indifferently.
What about the relationship between mother and child?
How could she not remember that they had such a thing!
Wu scoffed coldly, "You'll know whether it's true or not once you see it."
"Mr. Shen, please extend your hand." As the guard spoke, everyone's eyes fell on Shen Zhixu.
