Chapter 95 Do you have any other evidence?

Shen didn't give the old woman kneeling on the ground any chance to speak. Seeing that Song Junyan kept nodding to signal her to continue, she continued speaking.

"I accompanied the Crown Prince's wife to the Earl's Mansion. On the wedding night, the Earl disliked the wife's background and did not drink the wedding wine with her. He also did not return to the bridal chamber to consummate the marriage at night.

"On the second day, when we met, the old lady took advantage of this to get angry, saying that our wife couldn't keep her husband and was not a virtuous woman.

"She forced my wife to hand over her dowry in front of everyone in the Earl's Mansion, and she even snatched the key to the warehouse where the dowry was kept.

“This guy was there at the time!

"Of course she and her uncle heard and saw everything clearly.

"My Lord, they are all lying. I beg you to seek justice for my wife. She had a very difficult time in the Earl's Mansion during those years."

As Shen spoke, tears kept falling.

The girl she held in her arms and raised with her own milk was no different from her own biological daughter.

Thinking of the past, her heart ached.

"My Lord, please, our lady was not at peace when she was alive. We cannot let her be splashed with dirty water after her death, so that she will not be at peace in the afterlife."

After hearing what she said, Zhao Jingtian just wanted to curse.

Who on earth prevents him from living in peace with the dead?

If that evil creature was looking for trouble, he wouldn't be standing here to be laughed at.

Song Junyan hummed, his eyes swept over them, his voice was stern.

"You both have your own version of the story. I cannot determine which of you is true and which is false. Do you have any other evidence?"

"The old woman has!"

Shen wiped her tears and took out a booklet from her arms.

"My wife has always had the habit of writing down important things. This is the handwritten record of her past, which can be used as evidence."

Zhao Jingtian's gaze fell on the booklet in Shen's hand, and his expression changed slightly in an instant.

He had seen this booklet in Yun's room, and she placed it on the table.

But he was indifferent to everything about her at that time and seldom went to her room. He didn't even know that this book was used to record the past!

He had the urge to snatch the booklet away, but Song Junyan's eyes were always fixed on him.

He knew that Song Junyan, who could also hear Lu Xinran's thoughts, had already believed what he said.

He had also condemned him in his heart, and all he was looking for now was evidence.

Lu Xinran's eyes lit up as she looked at the booklet. She could only piece together Yun's past from other people's memories. She didn't know that she actually had the good habit of keeping a diary.

She squeezed Lu Xinlan's hand hard and said briskly, "It will be stable this time."

Lu Xinlan smiled and nodded, but she didn't say that even without the booklet, they would have won today.

[Unfortunately, I can only get my dowry back this time. It would be great if I could let Tao return her life.]

[No, I have to think carefully. Who was the one who poisoned the Yun family? I can't let any of these scumbags in the Bo Mansion go.]

Lu Xinlan squeezed her hand back with a little force. She would not let them go. They would definitely find a way to bring these people to justice one by one.

In the court, Song Junyan had already quickly read through the contents of the booklet.

He also ordered someone to deliver the booklet to Zhao Jingtian, not letting him touch it but only turning the pages for him to read.

"Mr. Rong En, do you have anything else to say?"

"Sir, this..." Zhao Jingtian looked at the contents of the booklet, his back wet with cold sweat again: "This, this is not written by Yun, sir, this booklet is fake."

Zhao, who had leaned over to the side and read the contents of the booklet, immediately shouted out loud.

"You are talking nonsense. This is my mother's handwriting! My Lord, among the letters I handed over, there is a letter my mother wrote to my grandfather. You can check and compare the handwriting."

Upon hearing this, the master beside him immediately took out a few letters from a pile and handed them to Song Junyan.

After Song Junyan took out the letter and read it, he ordered someone to deliver it to Zhao Jingtian again.

"Mr. Rong En, do you have anything else to say?"

Zhao Jingtian's upper and lower teeth chattered as he looked at the evidence that was repeatedly placed in front of him.

"No, these are not Yun's handwriting, sir, you are giving false testimony."

"It's obviously you who gave false testimony!"

Shen knocked the ground hard with her crutch. Thinking of Yun's tragic death, she couldn't help but burst into tears again.

"The whole Manchuria is full of shameless people. Why do you treat my daughter so badly? She is such a good person, why do you treat her so badly?

"Just because you have titles, can you look down on her merchant status?

"If you despise her so much, why did you marry her?

"Our master has repeatedly told you that the Yun family can lend some money to the Bo Mansion, and the Bo Mansion does not have to return the money in the future.

"The master has already said this, why don't you let our girl go?!"

The more Shen thought about it, the sadder she became. She couldn't stop crying while standing in the court.

Zhao Jingtian stared blankly at the books and letters spread out in front of him, his eyes filled with self-deceiving certainty.

"No, sir, these are not Yun's handwriting. Please understand."

[What a bullshit! The only thing left on his body is his stubborn mouth. He refuses to admit it even when the evidence is slapped in his face.]

[You are not afraid of going to hell and being thrown into a frying pan after death. Yun will be watching you by the frying pan.]

Everyone: “…”

Song Junyan didn't want to listen to her nagging anymore, so he slammed the wooden stick.

"Mr. Rong En, do you have any other evidence?"

Zhao Jingtian shook his head woodenly. Zhao came prepared and brought all the evidence to him, one link after another, leaving him no chance to make excuses.

This happened more than 40 years ago. All those people at that time were either dead or left the house. How could he arrange evidence for himself with such a tight time schedule?

"In that case, I will pronounce the verdict in court..."

"The governor of Shuntian Prefecture came forward to receive the order."

Before Song Junyan could finish his words, he was interrupted by a sharp voice.

The crowd parted to the sides, and the eunuch that Lu Xinran had seen at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet appeared outside the court.

Seeing the imperial edict arrive, everyone inside and outside the hall knelt down instantly.

"Your Majesty has ordered the Shuntian prefect to personally investigate the murder of Yun Shi by a villain and the embezzlement of her dowry. The case must be solved within three days and the seized property must be paid to the state treasury. There must be no delay."

"I accept your order."

Song Junyan kowtowed towards the imperial palace before standing up.

Zhao Jingtian, kneeling on the ground, swayed like a candle in the wind. The emperor...actually began to think about Yun's dowry.

He glanced at Lu Xinran in the crowd viciously. Since he was not going to have an easy life, no one else would have an easy life.
