"The Chu family are all good people who are dedicated to Dongsheng. Otherwise, why would the late emperor have conferred the title of Duke of Protectorate on them? They are loyal to the emperor's country and the people."
"Eight million taels of silver were donated without blinking an eye, which shows the Chu family's noble character."
"The wife of Marquis Pingning actually plotted against Miss Chu. She is so evil-hearted. The silver is the compensation for Miss Chu being cheated for eight years."
"God is fair. It is only because you have done too many bad things that you will be punished."
After hearing this, Chen almost gasped. She never expected that her plan to plot against Chu Zhiyin would be exposed in front of so many people.
The look in Pingninghou's eyes when he looked at her was extremely cold.
Liu Chanru knew that she would not live long, so she was not afraid of anything. The paler Chen's face looked, the happier she felt.
"Jiang Chenyu is simply not a human being. Not only did he flirt with me in Baiyan Temple, he also went to my manor and forcefully insulted me. Originally, he wanted to carry me into the mansion, but you stopped him. Later, when my father got into trouble, it was even more impossible for you to let me into the mansion.
Originally, I was a widow and had never provoked Jiang Chenyu, so I could live a safe life. But it was because you wanted to plot against Chu Zhiyin that I met the devil. "
Chen was so angry that she spat out a mouthful of blood. She weakly shouted, "You are talking nonsense. My son is so handsome, so elegant, and has noble character. How could he be a devil? You are the devil. If it weren't for you, my son wouldn't have died."
Wang Mingkui even skipped the interrogation procedure and sat quietly, listening to Liu Chanru's self-narration. The clerk beside him waved his brush rapidly, as if he wished he could use both hands at the same time.
Pingning Hou stood aside with a dull expression. He felt extremely painful in his heart as an old man sent off a young man.
"Character is valuable? Hahaha! Hahaha!......"
Liu Chanru laughed as if she had heard a funny joke and even cried.
Until he was tired of laughing, he said slowly: "Jiang Chenyu is handsome and suave. I believe that his appearance is really good. As for his character, he is a wolf that eats people without leaving any bones.
I was a widow and pregnant with his child. I thought that the child would be a support for me in the future. But he refused to agree and fed me safflower soup with his own hands. What else could he be but a devil?
I don't want a name, I don't want the gold and silver of the Pingning Marquis's mansion, I just want to keep my child, but he doesn't agree. Shouldn't such a beastly person die?
Hahaha! I begged him to leave me and not look for me, but he refused to do so and insisted on going to my farm to look for me. He would not refuse to see me.
If he doesn't die, I won't have peace. Madam Pingning Hou! This is the good son you taught, who likes to squeeze out the last bit of value from people.
He said he learned all this from you. You didn't want the eldest son of the marquis's family to have an easy life, so you tried to break up his marriage with Chu Zhiyin.
You were also the one who killed the eldest son's mother, weren't you? While the Marquis of Pingning was not at home, you sent someone to push the pregnant concubine to the ground, and didn't allow anyone to help her up.
It was the coldest time of the year and she was left lying on the ground for more than an hour. Later, they pretended to help her up. When the doctor from Xuanfu came to treat her, it was too late.
The cold air entered her body, and the concubine died. And you took the concubine's dowry."
"You're talking nonsense."
Chen was furious and wanted to argue, but she couldn't say a word. Aunt Qiao's affairs had always been a secret in the Marquis's mansion, but she didn't expect that Liu Chanru would make it public today.
"Oh my god! Madam Hou actually took human life lightly? She plotted to kill the noble concubine in the mansion? This is a shocking secret."
"That illegitimate eldest son is so pitiful. He lost his biological mother when he was young, and he didn't expect that his biological mother would be plotted against by his stepmother."
"That Aunt Qiao is a very gentle person. I remember meeting her at Baiyan Temple one year and even receiving a reward from her."
"You don't know this, right? Originally, Aunt Qiao was supposed to be the legal wife of Marquis Pingning, but later she was schemed by the Marquis's wife and became a concubine. Otherwise, how do you think she could have given birth to a concubine's eldest son?"
"No wonder the Marquis' wife wants to kill her. Is she afraid that her position as the legal wife will be in jeopardy?"
Marquis Pingning listened to the chaotic discussions in the court, but he didn't feel anything at all. He just stood there stupidly with no expression on his face.
"I'm not talking nonsense at all, this is what your son told me." Liu Chanru sneered, "Whenever he drinks, he will say anything.
He said that it was your idea to plot against Chu Zhiyin. He looked down on Chu Zhiyin and it was you who wanted to embezzle her 8 million taels of compensation silver.
Hahaha! You mother and son are a pair of devils. Jiang Chenyu killed my child, and he wants to occupy me for the rest of my life. If he doesn't die, who else will die?"
Chen vomited blood again and leaned in the nanny's arms, trembling all over and about to fall.
He pointed at Liu Chanru and cursed her non-stop: "You evil woman! You are the devil, you are, you are."
"Yes! To Jiang Chenyu, I am the devil. I killed him with poison and buried him in a hole that I dug in advance." Liu Chanru confessed her sins, "Madam Hou! I dare to admit that I killed Jiang Chenyu, do you dare to admit the mistakes you have made?
You fumigated the pregnant concubines in the backyard with safflower that causes miscarriage, and poisoned the concubines. Do you dare to say it? There are many concubines in the Pingning Marquis's mansion, but very few children. Jiang Chenyu told me that this is the result of your good management of the family.
Apart from the eldest bastard son, there is only one sickly bastard son left in the backyard, right? You poisoned him when he was still in his mother's womb, but he was lucky enough to be born.
Later, you poisoned him again, but he didn't die. You just made him sick all year round, taking medicine all the time. Hahaha! You didn't expect that! Your son told me all these things as a joke, didn't he? "
Pingning Hou's stunned expression finally changed. He stared at Chen fiercely, wishing he could eat her alive.
This was how she managed his harem. He thought he had no chance of having children, but it turned out not to be the case. It was his good wife who deprived him of his right to be a father.
The common people nearby were horrified when they heard this. The wife of Marquis Pingning had always given people the impression of being very kind, but who would have thought that her methods in private were so cruel?
It's incredible.
"Liu Chanru! You are talking nonsense. You will die a miserable death."
Chen said in an angry and hoarse voice.
Liu Chanru had a face that readied her for death: "Not going to die well? He's your son, don't worry about how I die. Hahaha! Everyone has to die, it's just a matter of time. Madam Hou! You will die, too."
Wang Mingkui glanced at Liu Chanru and signaled for someone to take her to jail.
This case was the easiest one he had ever handled. The ability of the Duke of the Protectorate was simply amazing. Going to the Duke of the Protectorate's mansion was more effective than sending dozens of detectives out to investigate the case.
If you encounter a difficult case in the future, can you ask the Protector of the Country for advice?
Can I discuss with him those unsolved unjust cases that I have been dealing with?
