Chapter 210 No Tears Until You See the Coffin
In a moment, the officer who went to the Fan residence to arrest someone came back first.
All the maids who had been with Fan Lin at that time and the servants who had treated her daughter were brought here.
As soon as the two men entered the courtroom, their legs began to tremble and they kept looking at Fan Ling for help.
But Fan Ling was also in a panic at this moment, not knowing how to cover up what she had done.
Anyone who was exposed by Lu Xinran's inner voice could not escape punishment.
She knew it would be difficult for her to escape, but... she didn't want to die!
She gave the two of them a look that forbade them to talk nonsense. They trembled and lowered their heads, each making plans in their minds.
Although Fan Ling had instigated everything they did, none of them was innocent and they all had lives on their hands. If they were not careful, they would die for their master.
Lu Xinran stood in front of the window across the street, and the situation in the court was somewhat unclear.
As soon as these two people came, she could open their booklets.
[Fan Lin's maid has been staying with Peng Chunyang for many years, under the pretext of taking care of the girl left behind by her master, but in reality she is serving Fan Ling's illegitimate daughter.]
[Over the years, she has found excuses to drive out all the servants that Fan Lin brought to the Peng family. Now she is the only one in the Peng family who was brought there by Fan Lin.]
[She nominally took care of Fan Lin's dowry, but it had long been swallowed up by Fan Ling.]
[All Fan Ling has been eating and using these years is her elder sister's dowry, and she even returns to the mansion crying poorly under the name of being a daughter.]
[Qi was concerned about her granddaughter and was afraid that she would abuse her, so she had to treat her well even though she felt sick.]
[Each time she was able to get favors so smoothly, she could not do without the help of this maid. As long as she hinted that the young master was having a hard time in the mansion, Qi would have to grit her teeth and pay for the favor.]
A series of thoughts made Fan Ling tremble.
She should not have kept the maid for the sake of the little benefits. If she had dealt with her at once, Qi would not have so many handles in her hands.
Lu Xinran was still flipping through the maid's booklet. This person had been able to stay in the Peng family for so many years and stay with Peng Chunyang. She must have some scheming and tricks.
[If I find it, I will say that she must have something on Fan Ling, otherwise they wouldn't look so harmonious as master and servant.]
[The tonic prescriptions that Peng Ruide had found were all in her hands, as were the prescriptions that the imperial physician had written after examining Fan Lin.]
[She had these prescriptions hidden. If anything happens to her, they will be sent to Qi.]
[She used these prescriptions as a threat to make Fan Ling afraid to touch her. Not only did she escape death, she also lived a very comfortable life.]
It's really a waste of talent for this maid to be only a servant. She should have been born into the royal family if she was so good at scheming. She could follow Song Junhua and others to make trouble in the court.
After sighing at this equally scheming maid, she turned her gaze back to the servant.
[Alas, I had hoped that this servant would have some compassion and give a chance to the little girl who had just come into the world and lost her mother. Unfortunately, he is such a cruel person.]
[He placed the child face down in a basin of water, filled the basin with water, and dumped it on the mass grave.]
[There are wild dogs and wolves over there. Even if the child was not drowned, the tiny child would be eaten clean by those beasts.]
[He went back the next day after he threw the child away and confirmed that only a mutilated corpse was left of the child before returning to report.]
Seeing this, she felt extremely heavy in her heart.
The child is innocent. How could Fan Ling and Peng Ruide treat that innocent little life so cruelly!
In the court, the two people who heard Lu Xinran's inner thoughts, one was panicked, the other was afraid, but no one regretted it.
Even now, they still don't think that what they did was wrong, and they only blame themselves for not acting carefully enough and allowing others to take advantage of the opportunity.
When Qi heard these thoughts and combined them with the inside story she heard the day before, tears started to flow from her eyes and she was staggering and could no longer hold on.
Her Lin'er!
She was the one who harmed her.
At first, she only wanted to find a suitable husband for her daughter and never thought that Peng Ruide was a devil.
He had an affair with his wife's sister before getting married and even had a child with her!
It was a pity for her precious daughter, who was so innocent and kind, but she fell into the trap of these two evil ghosts.
"Sir! Please interrogate these two people strictly. One of them killed my daughter, and the other killed my granddaughter. Such atrocities must not be tolerated."
Song Junyan nodded slightly. With the help of Lu Xinran's thoughts over the past two days, it would not be difficult to take the blame for these people.
Moreover, now any dirty deeds discovered by Lu Xinran’s system can be dealt with even without evidence.
This was the tacit consensus of the court under the pressure of the emperor.
"Ms. Fan, do you plead guilty?"
Fan Ling knelt down with a thud: "My Lord, I am innocent. You cannot listen to those groundless rumors."
Peng Ruide also knelt down. He now felt extremely regretful for the plan that had caused Fan Lin's death.
He had always felt that he had not done this matter thoroughly and that something would go wrong sooner or later. Now that the truth had come to light, he felt relieved.
"Sir, my wife and I have never done such dirty things. Please understand my lord."
Both of them were determined not to admit anything, and they would kneel on the ground and act as if they were wronged.
Although Lu Xinran couldn't hear, she had a booklet, and reading it over and over again was enough for her to hear all the defenses in court clearly.
[This couple is really shameless. They want to stick to their guns even though the facts are so clear.]
[This is a case of not crying until you see the coffin. The maid has been living a life of luxury in the Peng Mansion for many years and can't stand the threat of a big stick. And the servant has a family to take care of and dares not die.]
[If you want evidence, drag these two out and give them 20 lashes each, and the evidence will surely come out.]
Song Junyan looked at Fan Ling and her husband again with a gloomy look in his eyes: "Do you two admit your guilt?"
Fan Ling shook his head and continued to deny it. He didn't waste any more words with the two of them and had them dragged away.
The maid was most afraid of being dragged and beaten with a stick, so she struggled and twisted her body.
"My Lord, what do you want to ask? I will tell you everything. Please, please don't hit me."
As soon as she opened her mouth, the servant beside her immediately expressed her determination: "Sir, I also confess, please take back your order!"
As soon as they opened their mouths to betray her, Fan Ling immediately became nervous.
These two guys!
Have they forgotten that their family’s indentures are still in her hands?
Song Junyan slammed the wooden stick in front of him and said, "If that's the case, then tell me everything you've done. If you say anything wrong, I'll definitely punish you."
Fan Ling grabbed the maid's clothes, and the maid took a step back and dared not look at her anymore.
She can't even save her own life, so let her family figure it out on their own.
She told the whole story of the dusty past, and then the servant came forward and told how he abandoned the baby and the body.
Fan Ling sat paralyzed on the ground. The only thing that flashed through her mind before she passed out was: They are completely finished.
