Zhao Yu didn't understand why Lian Nan listened so carefully and stared at Lian Nan in a daze.
Zhu Jin, who occupied Lian Nan's body, also looked at Zhao Yu. Although it was difficult for her to listen to the strange statement and she didn't understand many things, she also understood part of it.
The man named Zhao Yu was Lian Nan's ex-husband whom she divorced because of a mistress. On the wedding day, the mistress came to see her ex-husband and Lian Nan wanted to punish her. However, her husband was injured while protecting the mistress and lost his qualification to be a father.
Zhu Jin sneered at people like Zhao Yu, who protected a mistress so much that the couple ended up getting divorced. She also became curious about her ex-husband's mistress and took a closer look at the mistress who was acting as a witness. When she saw her pale face when she left after serving as a witness, she couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Although her face was pale, she did not look like the many mistresses she had seen. She did not have the temperament of a dodder flower, nor the charming and seductive look. She did not know why Zhao Yu's preferences were different from those of many men.
Zhu Jin listened and watched until now, and felt that this strange place was quite interesting. He listened and watched calmly, making comparisons. The court was similar to the court, that is, the case was already settled and only the trial was done. The basis for the trial was also different from that of the court. It was completely based on the laws called laws, one by one, with reason and evidence.
The laws here are very detailed and comprehensive, protecting people and constraining them. There are only two people here, husband and wife, and no wives or concubines. The wife is the most important, and concubines and mistresses are not protected by the law. The law only protects the rights of wives.
In contrast, wives here have no right to deal with concubines and mistresses, and doing so would be a crime. To deal with concubines and mistresses, one must rely on the law and government offices such as the Public Security Bureau, the Procuratorate, and the Court, who will impose fines or imprisonment on the husband, concubine, or mistress on behalf of the wife.
The law restricts the legal wife, but it also provides unlimited protection for her and her children, which should have been what countless women pursued in the past.
If such a law were to be imposed in the world she lives in, I think all women would be delighted.
Zhu Jin thought about her final statement.
Zhu Jin stood up, bowed politely to the people behind her, and then followed the example of Lawyer Gu Mu who had brought her in before, bowed to the presiding and deputy judges sitting in front of her. After thinking for a moment, she tried her best to speak in their vernacular.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the whole room was in an uproar.
"I violated the law and I should be punished, there is no doubt about that. But I don't want to apologize to Mr. Zhao Yu who caused the harm." Zhu Jin's tone was neither hurried nor slow. What she said was not what Gu Mu said in her ear, but the most honest words to her. "There is nothing wrong with the wife dealing with her husband's mistress. The only mistake is that she did it herself without borrowing the law. Zhao Yu wanted to protect the mistress. It was his personal wish and had nothing to do with me, so I refuse to apologize."
"Wow..." As soon as Zhu Jin finished speaking, Zhao Yu's face was filled with shock and stunned. The whole court was in an uproar, and even the chief judge and deputy judge changed their expressions.
"The former Princess Nan may have been stimulated, and she came back after fainting and made a strange statement..."
"After setting the worst example for the world, Princess Qian Nan set a wrong example again..."
"The former Princess Nan showed no remorse and made irresponsible remarks in the second instance court..."
"The former Princess Nan uttered words like 'main wife' and 'concubine'..." Outside the court, the latest news has begun reporting, with different angles and words, but full of doubts and criticisms.
As much as they loved Princess Nan in the past, they are now as angry and disappointed with her as they are now.
"Silence!" The presiding judge finally spoke to stop the noise.
After everything calmed down, he looked at Zhu Jin and said, "Please make a serious statement, defendant."
If the defendant presents new reasons for defense in his statement, the collegial panel may resume the court debate if it deems it necessary. Therefore, many defendants attach great importance to their final statement and most of them will choose to present new facts and evidence in their statement. Although it is impossible to present new evidence and facts in this incident, such a statement is too much.
"Yes, I will make a serious statement." Zhu Jin nodded. What she said just now was what was in her heart. Now that she had spoken the truth, she had to start talking seriously. It was fate that she occupied this body, so she should do something for the original owner during the period of occupation! Ten years in prison was really too long and not worth it.
"Please continue your statement." The presiding judge nodded.
"I request that witness Li Yu come again." Zhu Jin recalled that the mistress suddenly bent over and retched halfway through her departure, and based on his own observations, he made his own request, "and request that I take Li Yu's pulse."
"What is pulse diagnosis? Please explain, defendant."
"..." Zhu Jin couldn't help but be stunned. They didn't even know what pulse diagnosis was. Confused, he reorganized his words to explain, "Pulse diagnosis is to check a person's physical condition."
"The witness's physical condition is not within the defendant's scope of concern. The request is dismissed." The presiding judge understood half of it and rejected it.
"Li Yu's physical condition is of vital importance. She may have been pregnant with Zhao Yu's child. If Zhao Yu's child has been conceived, the crime of hidden murder will no longer be established." Zhu Jin stated bluntly without considering the reputation of the mistress. There is no reputation for being a mistress.
Ten years in prison, the heaviest of which was eight years for the hidden murder, which was the most incomprehensible to her. Because Zhao Yu could not have children, she was charged with the hidden murder of Zhao Yu's flesh and blood. If Zhao Yu had flesh and blood, this charge would not be established.
"Wow...what?" Zhu Jin's words caused an uproar again, causing the second major shock in France.
"What?" Zhao Yu stood up in surprise.
"Does the defendant have any evidence?" The presiding judge asked Zhu Jin seriously after another silence.
"Not yet, so I need to take Li Yu's pulse to get evidence. I'm a doctor, and taking her pulse can tell whether she is pregnant. Of course, please ask other doctors to verify my diagnosis results." Zhu Jin shook his head slightly, his voice calm.
"Perform a pregnancy test for witness Li Yu." The presiding judge made a decision. Although he absolutely could not let Zhu Jin do a pulse check for no apparent reason, he accepted her request. "The court will be adjourned for ten minutes during the pregnancy test."
In an era that emphasizes efficiency, the work of the courts has clear time regulations. Adjournments must never exceed ten minutes. The first, second, and final instance of a case cannot exceed three months. Today's second instance must issue a verdict.
As the adjournment conclusion came out, the courtroom was buzzing with people discussing Zhu Jin's pulse diagnosis and her statement that Li Yu was pregnant. The private discussion was short, and the reporters in the room quickly made a request to the presiding judge, "…I would like to interview Miss Lian Nan during the adjournment and ask her about the pulse diagnosis. Please rest assured, the presiding judge, that the on-site interview materials will not be released to the public before approval."
