"You didn't lie to me, did you?" Mr. Bai asked again, fearing that he would be too happy for nothing.
"I will never lie to you." Bai Muyang said firmly.
Although Mr. Bai was full of resentment towards Bai Muyang, as long as he could see Xiaolian, he would temporarily show a good face to Bai Muyang.
"Then let's go." Mr. Bai quickly stood up.
He hadn't eaten for several days and almost fell down when he stood up suddenly.
Bai Muyang looked at him coldly.
Mr. Bai had to hold on to the wall and barely managed to stand.
He took a breath, walked to Bai Muyang's side, and grabbed his arm: "Let's go."
The two walked out of the Bai Mansion and got on the carriage.
Mr. Bai felt a little better when he thought about seeing Ding Xiaolian, and ate a few bites of cakes in the carriage.
Bai Muyang closed his eyes and remained silent.
Mr. Bai looked at Bai Muyang's face, which was somewhat similar to Guo's, and he couldn't like him.
Some people are just not compatible by nature, just like he didn't like Guo the first time he met her.
If it weren't for the purpose of marriage and expanding the family business, he would never have married Guo.
When Guo first entered the family, she was very strong and Mr. Bai disliked her. Later, Guo fell in love with him and tried to please him in every way, but Mr. Bai did not change his opinion of her. No matter how much Guo changed, she was still strong and stubborn in her bones, which he disliked.
But Xiaolian was different. He fell in love with her the first time he saw her. He liked her gentleness and thoughtfulness, her obedience, and her pitiful appearance.
No matter what kind of person Xiaolian was, he liked her. Even if Xiaolian did something bad, he didn't think it was a big deal, as long as she loved him wholeheartedly.
Why did Xiaolian kill Guo? It was because she loved him, was jealous of Guo, and wanted her to be his legitimate wife.
Therefore, when he learned that Xiaolian had killed Guo, he did not feel anything.
Mr. Bai hates those nosy people. It happened over ten years ago, why are they still bringing up the past?!
Mr. Bai was a little excited at the thought of meeting Ding Xiaolian.
"How long will it take?" asked Mr. Bai.
Bai Muyang's eyes were tightly closed, and his lips moved: "Half an hour."
Half an hour later, the carriage stopped outside the Ministry of Justice.
Bai Muyang got off the carriage, and Master Bai followed him down.
Mr. Bai looked at the gate of the Ministry of Justice and took him to the prison to see Xiaolian?
Thinking of Xiaolian suffering in prison, Mr. Bai felt sad again.
However, Mr. Bai soon discovered that they were not going to the prison, but to the court.
Many people were already standing outside the court.
"Hasn't Xiaolian's case been tried? Why did you bring me to court?" Mr. Bai asked suspiciously.
"Retrial today." Bai Muyang said.
Bai Muyang led Mr. Bai through the crowd, came to the front, and saw the court.
Mr. Bai saw the scene in the court at a glance. He saw two disheveled people lying in the court. They could only be distinguished as a man and a woman.
Mr. Bai's gaze couldn't help but fall on the woman, and his expression suddenly changed.
Could that be Xiaolian?
Mr. Bai wanted to rush forward.
"Is this the couple?"
"Yes, it was Zeng Zuwen and Ding Xiaolian. They were having an affair and were caught red-handed by Zeng Zuwen's wife."
"Isn't Ding Xiaolian dead?"
"I can't tell. It must be that Great-grandfather Wen switched the subject and rescued the person first."
"It is said that this is the matter being tried today."
"This Ding Xiaolian is the wife of the Bai family, right? How come she is dating her great-grandfather Wen? They have been together for several years."
Mr. Bai paused as he listened to the discussions. His face turned pale with disbelief.
"Impossible!" he suddenly shouted.
This is impossible!
Xiaolian... How could Xiaolian have an affair with someone?!
Xiaolian obviously loves him so much!
This must be fake, there must be something wrong!
Mr. Bai's loud shout attracted everyone's attention.
Someone recognized him as Mr. Bai, and started whispering with the people around them, then they all looked at him with strange eyes.
Mr. Bai couldn't stand this look, but he didn't believe Xiaolian would betray him, so he wanted to stay and find out the truth!
Soon, the adult in charge of hearing this case arrived.
Because among the criminals this time was his great-grandfather Wen, who was formerly the Minister of Punishment, this matter alarmed the emperor, so the emperor appointed Gu Huai'nian, the Minister of the Supreme Court, to preside over the case, and the Vice Minister of Punishment was responsible for assisting him. The trial was still held in the Ministry of Punishment.
Gu Huainian sat in the main seat, and Wei Qing sat to his left.
The trial begins.
"The prisoner, Zeng Zuwen, you are the Minister of Justice, but you knew the law but broke it. The prisoner Ding Xiaolian betrayed and was sentenced to death, but you replaced her with someone else's body. Do you plead guilty?!" Gu Huainian questioned.
Zeng Zuwen said nothing.
Soon, a witness came forward, who was the warden of the death row.
The jailer confessed, and Zeng Zuwen had nothing to say but to plead guilty.
"This is the first crime. The second crime is, twelve years ago, the person who reported the case of Guo falling into the well was killed by you?" Gu Huainian asked.
Zeng Zuwen knew that he was completely finished and didn't want to suffer any more physical harm, so he nodded and pleaded guilty.
Zeng Zuwen was also tried for other crimes and he confessed to them one by one.
"Ding Xiaolian, you had an affair with your great-grandfather Wen, murdered Guo, and indirectly killed the person who reported the crime. Do you plead guilty?"
Gu Huainian asked.
Ding Xiaolian was much weaker than her great-grandfather Wen and was in a dying state.
It was Zeng Zuwen who answered for her.
"Yes, she and I are from the same hometown. We came to the capital together... After she killed Guo, she left behind evidence and asked me for help..."
Zeng Zuwen looked at Ding Xiaolian with red eyes. It was she who made him like this. Even if they had to die, they would die together!
Mr. Bai's face turned pale and he was about to collapse after hearing this.
After this interrogation, it seems to be true. Xiaolian... Xiaolian actually had an affair with someone!
Why?
Why did Xiaolian betray him? !
Mr. Bai felt like the sky was falling.
He turned around and wanted to leave, but Bai Muyang held his shoulders.
"The case hasn't been concluded yet, let's wait and see." Bai Muyang smiled calmly.
Mr. Bai found that he was old and Bai Muyang had grown up. He pressed his shoulders, but he couldn't move!
Mr. Bai was pinned there by him and had no choice but to continue watching, his teeth chattering and his eyes bulging.
"It is said that last night, Zeng Zuwen and Ding Xiaolian were caught in bed together, and both of them were naked."
"Master Bai still treats Ding Xiaolian like the apple of his eye, and this green-haired turtle is quite content with his job."
"Yes, we still don't know who the father of Ding Xiaolian's son is. Great-grandfather Wen and Ding Xiaolian have been together for so many years. I think the son's surname is Zeng."
The onlookers were talking about this and looking at Mr. Bai with strange eyes, deliberately making fun of him.
Over the years, he has been extremely kind to Ding Xiaolian and Bai Xuyang, treating them like his own eyes!
As a result, they... they actually did this to themselves!
Mr. Bai felt a surge of rage in his heart, a sharp pain in his chest, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood!
