Su Lingwei didn't take it seriously, assuming it was just Su Pei being jealous.
After all, her fifth uncle had always wanted to achieve something, but had never succeeded.
“Lingwei is different from Fifth Uncle. Since I dare to negotiate with a tiger, I am prepared.”
Most importantly, I have the courage!
Unlike my fifth uncle, who has lived a life of mediocrity for forty years and doesn't even know what tigers and wolves look like!
After saying that, he ignored the furious Su Pei, gave a casual bow, and turned to leave.
Everyone says she'll regret leaving the Su family.
In her opinion, those who didn't leave the Su family back then would regret it later.
Once Censor Xie arrives, the Su family will certainly be implicated in this matter.
If the Emperor were to punish them, the Su family might even face confiscation of their property and extermination of their clan.
Since their second branch has already separated, whether the Su family members are exiled or beheaded will no longer be their concern.
Su Pei stomped his feet in anger as he watched Su Lingwei's departing figure.
"How could Third Brother have given birth to such a daughter?! If Third Brother knew this in the afterlife, he would be so angry he'd crawl out of the ground!"
Su Shuo hurriedly advised, "Fifth Uncle, everyone has their own ambitions."
Since Third Sister has chosen to separate from the family, she has nothing to do with our Su family anymore, so you don't need to worry about her anymore.
Third Sister chose this path herself; if anything happens in the future, she can't blame anyone else.
Su Shuo deliberately emphasized the word "worried" in his words, which made Su Pei feel much more at ease.
"Yes, now that she has chosen to separate from the family, she has nothing to do with our Su family anymore. She can do business with whomever she wants!"
Anyway, as her uncle, I've already warned her; I've done more than enough for her!
After speaking, when she looked at Su Shuo again, there was a hint of admiration in her eyes.
Meanwhile, after Su Muxi arrived at the prefectural government office, she hurriedly summoned all the major officials in Jinzhou City and began to try Jia Ren and Wei Huan in court.
After Wei Huan was awakened by Su Muxi using silver needles, he was like a soulless puppet.
He knelt dejectedly on the ground, his eyes showing no resentment or bitterness, only confusion.
Now that the Wei family is gone, what will become of her?
If she hadn't been so ambitious back then, and hadn't chosen to seduce Su Xing, but instead had the head of the family find her an honest and upright man to marry, then she would have someone to rely on now.
Instead of being in this sorry state, being laughed at by others...
Now, she'd probably have a hard time surviving, let alone marrying an honest and decent man.
"Su Muxi, are you happy to see me like this now?"
Hearing Wei Huan's words suddenly made Su Muxi feel confused.
"What happens to you is none of my business. If you hadn't harbored ill intentions and deliberately approached my father, I would never have known who you were. So whatever state you end up in is entirely your own fault."
If you have any conscience left, tell me everything you know honestly.
Wei Huan smirked. "I've already confessed everything I needed to in Fukang County. What else do you want me to confess?"
"I, the princess, want you to repeat what you know in front of Lord Liu and all the officials."
Looking at Wei Huan's expression, Su Muxi had a vague sense of unease.
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Wei Huan suddenly laughed and said, "Hehe! So, does the Princess want me to tell the truth that I know, or do I want to say what the Princess taught me to say before?"
Before Su Muxi could even speak, Liu Guanghan immediately said sternly, "Of course, tell the truth!"
Wei Huan smiled sadly, kowtowed to Liu Guanghan first, and then said, "It is said that when a person is about to die, his words are good. Now that the Wei family is gone, even if I am released without charge, I am afraid I will be bullied to death!"
Therefore, this humble woman is willing to tell you all what she knows!
After speaking, Wei Huan gave Su Muxi a deep look. Although his face showed resentment, there was a hint of a smile in his eyes.
Then Wei Huan slowly spoke, revealing the "truth" she knew.
"I'm sure you gentlemen have all heard something about my story and Su Xing's story."
Although Su Xing was much older than the woman, he had saved her life. At that time, Su Xing was gentle and considerate, which moved her deeply. In addition, she was a grateful person, so she thought of marrying Su Xing and having children with him.
Unexpectedly, Su Xing refused the marriage proposal...
The commoner thought that Su Xing rejected the marriage because she was not gentle and pretty enough, so she thought she would slowly win him over and make him accept her.
So when she learned that Su Xing was going to personally deliver the medicinal herbs to Fukang County, the woman chose to accompany him without hesitation.
The young woman was unaware of the true extent of the plague in Fukang County at the time, and went there with the determination to die.
The woman thought her sincerity would surely move Su Xing, but she never imagined that it was all part of Su Xing's plan!
Su Xing's daughter is the Princess Consort of Yong'an. The Prince of Yong'an has a high prestige in the army. The Su family has long coveted the Wei family's business and has wanted to swallow everything of the Wei family.
So the Su family and Princess Yong'an devised all of this. First, they had Prince Yong'an use his power to force the magistrate of Fukang County to poison the people. Then, they had the Su family provide medicinal herbs to Fukang County.
During the delivery of the medicinal herbs, Su Xing deliberately revealed a flaw, leading the Wei family to switch the herbs.
When the incident in Fukang County escalated and alarmed the imperial court, the Princess of Yong'an was summoned to Jinzhou to expose the truth about the plague in Fukang County and pin all the blame on my Wei family.
But the Su family never expected that the Wei family would discover that all of this was a scheme by the Su family.
So the Su family simply killed them to silence them, directly confirming the Wei family's guilt!
Wei Huan spoke with heartfelt sincerity, and after finishing, he kowtowed to Liu Guanghan.
"Lord Liu, please understand! Everything I confessed to in Fukang County was forced upon me by Princess Yong'an. If I didn't put my fingerprint on it, she would have a dozen strong men take turns defiling me. I didn't want to be humiliated, so I signed and put my fingerprint on it!"
Now that I have met you gentlemen, I do not want the Wei family to die unjustly, nor do I want to confess against my conscience according to the wishes of Princess Yong'an!
I implore you, sirs, to uphold justice for this humble woman! To uphold justice for the Wei family! And above all, to uphold justice for all the people of Fukang County!
