Chapter 502 I've had an affair with my ex-daughter-in-law!
"How dare you!" Qiu Yuanzheng slammed his hand on the table and shouted coldly, "What a nagging Lin He! She doesn't even know the difference between an observer and a witness, yet she dares to criticize His Royal Highness Prince Jin."
He raised his hand and said, "Come here, drag this lawless woman out of the courtroom!"
Madam Lin suddenly became anxious and said hurriedly, "How dare you! Princess Shihan is my daughter-in-law who has not yet married into the family.
If you dare to use violence against me, you are disrespecting the princess."
"Puchi!" Mo Jinchuan laughed when he heard it.
Facing Madam Lin's angry eyes, he said, "In all my years of life, this is the first time I've heard of someone using their daughter-in-law who hasn't even married yet to be married to them to make a scene."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter all around.
To Madam Lin, those mocking laughs sounded like loud slaps in the face.
She felt her cheeks burning and she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
The maid supported her and whispered, "Don't be afraid, old lady. General Lin and the princess have both made great military achievements in the border town."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lin felt reassured.
She knew that the master behind this girl was Zhuang Shihan, and she also knew that she most likely had bad intentions.
But now the arrow is on the string and she can't retreat.
In today's lawsuit, she can only win and not lose.
Otherwise, she would never be able to show her face to anyone again.
That little bitch Song had the audacity to injure her son so badly, and she still wanted to hide in her princess's mansion as if nothing had happened?
She'd never dream of it!
Madam Lin gritted her teeth and said with determination, "If the Dali Temple cannot be fair and just, I will go to the Imperial Court to sue the Song family, who are so evil and are trying to steal my wealth and kill me.
There should always be a place where people can reason with each other under the feet of the emperor."
Listening to her tearful accusation, Qiu Yuanzheng remained silent for a rare moment.
If he hadn't been in court, he might have laughed out loud.
What exactly is there in his general's mansion that is worth the princess's attention?
Pained by his indescribable gaze, Madam Lin blushed and said, "If it weren't for the vicious Song family who donated all the property while my son was away, how could the General's Mansion..."
"Madam!" the maid hurriedly stopped her.
Madam Lin was still very angry and would not listen to any advice. She just glared at her fiercely and continued.
Suddenly, she heard Mo Jinchuan ask coldly, "Are you saying that the donation of private property from the General's Mansion was done by Princess Yong'an alone?"
When she saw his face, Mrs. Lin was furious.
She sneered and said, "Why is the prince asking me, an old woman? He should go ask that vicious woman Song what my son owes her that she wants to harm my family like this."
Mo Jinchuan nodded, as if realizing something, and said, "Since the donation has nothing to do with the General's Mansion, the Emperor's praise should not fall on the General's Mansion."
Sensing something was amiss, Madam Lin hurriedly said, "Your Highness, this is unreasonable. Those things were actually moved out of the General's Mansion. How can they have nothing to do with us?"
Fearing that the decision would be final, she hurriedly looked at Qiu Yuanzheng and said, "Master Qiu, you must make the decision for our General's Mansion!
It doesn't make sense that our General's Mansion produced something, but all the benefits went to that black-hearted vicious woman. That was what my son paid for with his life."
Qiu Yuanzheng nodded, "Madam Lin is right."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lin's expression eased slightly.
But before she could be happy, she heard Qiu Yuanzheng continue, "Since the donation was made by the General's Mansion, there is no such thing as a robbery as you just mentioned."
Facing Madam Lin's suddenly wide eyes, he asked, "Could it be that Madam Lin is going to say that the dowry the princess took away belonged to the General's Mansion?"
She naturally wanted to say yes, but she wasn't so shameless as to do so.
I don't know which gossipmonger is gossiping outside, but now many noble families in the capital know that the general's mansion treats their daughters-in-law harshly and even uses their dowries to subsidize the prince.
Those women looked down on her in the first place, and countless people treated this as a joke and talked about it for fun after dinner.
When her family member Feng'er is granted a title of nobility in the future, she wants to see if those bitches can still laugh!
Madam Lin gritted her teeth and nodded reluctantly.
She said bitterly, "Even though Song Yanxi is not at fault in this matter, the evidence is irrefutable that she murdered my son!"
When she thought of Lin Tingfeng who was now seriously injured and had not yet woken up, she burst into tears with heartache.
The eldest son is no longer useful, and it is still unclear whether the baby in his wife's belly can be born safely.
From now on, the only person the Lin family can rely on to carry on the family line and revive the family is Feng'er.
If anything happens to him again, how will she, as his mother, live?
Qiu Yuanzheng asked sullenly, "Madam Lin, there are no witnesses or physical evidence. Do you really want me to convict the princess just by listening to your nonsense?"
Madam Lin was anxious, "Why is there no witness? I am the witness!"
Qiu Yuanzheng asked, "Where were you when General Lin was injured? Did you see it with your own eyes?"
Mrs. Lin stammered and could not answer.
Obviously, she couldn't produce any evidence.
Just when she was feeling frustrated that she had not made adequate preparations this time, the maid came up to her and whispered something to her.
Madam Lin's eyes lit up instantly, and she said excitedly, "I have a witness!"
She stared at Mo Jinchuan intently and said through gritted teeth, "The one who attacked my son and wanted to kill him was Prince Jin."
"absurd!"
Qiu Yuanzheng stood up suddenly, his face gloomy as he said, "In my opinion, you old woman have probably gone insane and are biting anyone you catch.
Come, drag this old woman out and throw her out of the Dali Temple!"
Two yamen runners came forward, holding her on both sides and were about to walk out.
Old Madam Lin had no strength left and could not resist at all.
Just as she was about to be dragged out of the hall, everyone heard her shout, "Prince Jin and my ex-daughter-in-law have been having an affair for a long time!"
"presumptuous!"
Qiu Yuanzheng's expression suddenly changed, and he ordered, "Quickly shut up this crazy woman."
The maidservant at the side questioned, "Is it possible that Master Qiu, in order to favor Princess Yong'an, didn't even let my old lady finish her sentence?"
She sneered, "This is the Dali Temple. If you don't know, you might think it's someone's private torture chamber."
Qiu Yuanzheng's face was gloomy. "What a sharp-tongued girl."
Madam Lin recovered and said angrily, "I have been guarding the southern border for many years, and my son has made many military achievements in the border town.
Are you trying to force me to death by protecting the Song family?"
As soon as these words were spoken, things became serious in an instant.
If the matter is not handled carefully and the censors find fault with it, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the military generals in the court.
They sacrificed their lives and shed their blood not only for the sake of their king and the people, but also for the sake of their wives, children and the elderly at home to live a stable life.
It doesn't make sense that they are living on the edge of a knife outside, while their families are treated unfairly.
Without Qiu Yuanzheng's order, the two yamen runners who were carrying Madam Lin stopped on their own accord.
If this is thrown away, there will be no room for maneuver.
