Chapter 156: Court Part 3
Shen Zhixu suddenly felt a little timid.
He knew his identity.
He also knew that if he tried this, he would have nowhere to hide.
But at this point, he has no other choice. If he doesn't even have the courage to reach out, there's no point in even trying.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he calmed himself down and slowly stretched out his right hand.
The birthmark was on the inside of his wrist, a medium-sized spot with no particular shape, looking quite ordinary.
He usually doesn't take it to heart at all.
Xie Changning knew about this birthmark, which was why she had never doubted Shen Zhixu in her previous life. Who would have thought that even a birthmark could be faked.
The funny thing is, this birthmark used to be proof of her son.
Now this birthmark is used to prove that Shen Zhixu is just a fake.
How ironic!
As expected, the person who knows Shen Zhixu best is his mother Wu. It is only right for her to expose Shen Zhixu's identity.
How easy is it to find out such a secret?
The guard carefully applied the medicine on the birthmark on Shen Zhixu's wrist.
Everyone stared with wide eyes, not blinking, as if they were even more excited than Shen Zhixu, the person involved.
No one knew, but Shen Zhixu secretly broke into a sweat, his heart beating like a drum, his eyes fixed on the birthmark on his wrist.
This was the first time he felt so nervous in his past and present lives.
When he didn't know his true identity before, he hated his mother Xie Changning to the extreme. Now he hoped very much that there was no Wu, and even less Qin Kaiji.
He has only one mother, Xie Changning.
Even if Xie Changning doesn't recognize him, he is still the blood of the Shen family, and no one would dare to call him a bastard.
I applied the medicine on the birthmark, but after a while there was no reaction at all, let alone fading.
The onlookers couldn't help but talk about it.
"What's going on? The birthmark on his wrist hasn't changed at all. Could it be that everything Wu said was a lie? Shen Zhixu is not her and Qin Kaiji's son at all, but the son of the Marquis' wife!"
"What is her intention in doing this? Could it be that, as Shen Zhixu said, she wants to sow discord between Madam Hou and Shen Zhixu?"
Xie Changning was not anxious at all. With Wu around, why should she be anxious?
Shen Zhixu breathed a sigh of relief without making a sound. As long as the birthmark remained unchanged, it would be enough to prove that everything Wu said was false.
Mrs. Wu glanced at Mother Wei. She had just given birth and was very weak. Mother Wei was taking care of many things, and even she didn't know what was going on.
Mother Wei curled her lips and sneered, "Why are you panicking? The medicine will take at least half an hour to take effect after it's applied."
Everyone looked as if they had suddenly understood, "So that's how it is!"
Shen Zhixu's heart skipped a beat. He was too happy too early. Winter was about to come. A thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, which showed how nervous he was.
Qin Yi is still in Jiyun Temple outside the city, and it will take a lot of time to bring her over.
While they were waiting, several bodies were carried into the lobby of the Ministry of Justice. They were the bodies of Qin Kaiji and others.
"Master, Hui'er..." As soon as she saw them, Wu couldn't help crying.
Xie Changning glanced at the corpses indifferently. Qin Kaiji died at the hands of Shen Zhixu, which was a worthy death.
Pei Zhi raised his right hand slightly, and immediately a coroner came up to examine the bodies of Qin Kaiji and the others.
Shen Zhixu's eyes flickered slightly. How did Wu know where their bodies were hidden? Could it be that when he committed the crime last night, Wu was watching?
No, it won't.
Qingshu stood beside him with his head bowed.
"Sir, they all died at midnight last night. I saw it with my own eyes. It was Shen Zhixu who killed them with a dagger and buried their bodies in the backyard."
Wu suddenly looked at Qingshu as she spoke, "He was there at the time. If you don't believe me, just have someone conduct an investigation and we'll know."
Shen Zhixu frowned slightly, and he glanced at Qingshu calmly.
Qingshu gave him a look to reassure him.
Shen Zhixu was not worried that Qingshu would betray him. At least on this matter, they were on the same side. If Qingshu betrayed him, he would not be able to escape.
Pei Zhi looked at Qingshu with a gloomy look in his eyes. Before he could speak, Qingshu knelt heavily on the ground.
Shen Zhixu suddenly looked towards him, and then he heard Qingshu say in a tearful voice, "Please spare my life, sir! The eldest young master killed them all, and this has nothing to do with me. I am willing to confess everything I know, and I only ask that you give me a chance to atone for my crime."
