"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me!"
Seeing her husband howling in pain after being beaten, Yin Shi felt so distressed that tears fell. She quickly straightened up and waved her hands, saying, "Prince, my lord, please spare my master. He was already exiled that year. He really wasn't the one who did the marriage fraud. Please don't hit him..."
The other women in the Shen family, upon hearing their husbands' cries, also turned pale and cried with tears in their eyes.
But no one shouted in public like Yin did.
They were all scared like quails.
'Bang'
The gavel rang out.
Sitting in a side seat, Dali Temple Minister Chen asked angrily and sternly, "Stop talking nonsense and just answer my question. Do you, the Shen family, admit to the marriage fraud?"
They said they were going to be brought in for questioning today, so early in the morning the bailiffs brought over the wives of the various courtyards of the Shen family.
Come over here.
They saw that their husbands had already knelt down, and a god-like man was sitting in the main seat. It was said that he was His Royal Highness Prince Yi who had just returned from the Imperial Temple, and he was in charge of today's case.
I thought that coming back to the Buddhist temple would mean mercy.
Who knew...
As soon as the first crime was asked, no one knew what the man from the Shen family said wrong, but the prince who was as handsome as a god actually had the man from the Shen family beaten with a board.
This frightened the female members of the Shen family who were still hoping for a lucky break, and they turned pale.
Yin was also a little scared.
But hearing her husband's screams, she nodded hurriedly: "Admit it, sir, we admit that it was my mother-in-law who did the marriage fraud. We were there and heard it all. It was she who promised Yang Zhao that we could divorce in the future. Sir, this matter really has nothing to do with my master..."
Chen and others' expressions changed slightly.
This idiot...
Can't you be a little more flexible in your words?
But none of them dared to open their mouths to refute, and in their hearts they cursed Yin Shi to death! !
However, the outer board did stop.
Lord Chen continued to ask, "Then can your Shen family admit to the second crime, favoring a concubine over the wife?"
At this time, Chen wanted to speak.
Yin said casually, "Sir, this matter is mainly the fault of my mother-in-law. She was the one who made a lot of trouble on her own initiative, which made A Zhao angry. In fact, A Zhao is a good and generous child. If Li Er had directly told her about the concubine and the concubine's child when he came back, A Zhao would definitely agree to let them marry in. So this matter is not Li Er's fault, it's all my mother-in-law's fault..."
Yin really thought so in her heart.
She felt that all the troubles were caused by her mother-in-law. If she hadn't asked Shen Nian to push A Zhao into the water and asked Doctor Li to prescribe cold medicine for A Zhao, A Zhao would not have gone to the point of divorce.
And you said she was stupid!
She felt that her mother-in-law was the real fool.
He couldn't enjoy a good life, but he had to cause so much trouble, which led to his whole family being sent to jail.
When Chen and others heard what Yin said, they didn't know how to evaluate Yin for a moment.
I really couldn’t tell it before!
This Yin is actually quite scheming, she immediately shifted all the blame onto her deceased mother-in-law...
The people watching outside were also talking about it.
"Old Madam Shen is dead. Now the Shen family is planning to shift the blame onto a dead person?"
"The men are shameless, and so are these women!"
"It's really the family tradition..."
"So, Mrs. Shen has never known that Xuan Ge'er, who was adopted into my name, is Shen Li's concubine's son?" A light voice came through the crowd.
When Yin saw Yang Zhao, her eyes lit up slightly.
"A Zhao!"
But then she thought of something, and her eyes dimmed. She felt a little guilty: "I, I only found out about it later. If I had known earlier, I would definitely have stopped it..."
The latter part of the statement sounded extremely guilty.
Yang Zhao bowed to the people in the court and said, "Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Yi and Lord Chen."
"Please take a seat."
A deep voice sounded calmly.
Everyone couldn't help but look at His Royal Highness the King of Wings, who had rarely spoken. His crimson brocade robe made him look noble and otherworldly. Coupled with his handsome face and emotionless expression, he looked like a Buddhist who was ignorant of worldly affairs.
Such a cold prince.
The second sentence he said was, "Please give me a seat."
Of course.
Others didn't think too much about it, after all, everyone knew that Yang Zhao was the 'Duke Yang of Qi'.
The bailiff quickly brought a chair.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After Yang Zhao came in, he only glanced at the Buddhist version of the King of Wings and didn't pay any extra attention to him.
Her gaze fell back on Yin: "When did Mrs. Shen know about it? Before the adoption? Or after the adoption? When I was still lying in the hospital bed, Mrs. Shen held a very grand adoption ceremony."
Yin wanted to speak.
Yang Zhao said calmly: "In fact, this problem can be solved very easily. You just need to ask the maidservant who serves you. I am also very curious about when Mrs. Shen knew Xuan'er's identity."
"Send someone to bring the maidservant and mother-in-law around Yin."
A deep voice sounded from the main seat in the court.
Lord Chen subconsciously turned his head to glance at Mo Junran.
Seeing that he still had an expressionless look on his face, Lord Chen immediately sent someone to bring Yin's nanny and personal maid.
They all knelt on the ground trembling.
One of the little maids replied palely, "Madam, Madam, she knew the young master's identity on the third day after he came back. She also knew that Concubine Wei was his biological mother. Madam likes Concubine Wei very much and said, she said it would be great if Concubine Wei was her daughter-in-law..."
"You're talking nonsense!"
Yin glared at the little girl angrily and said, "When did I say she was my daughter-in-law? I clearly said that if, if she was my daughter-in-law, she would definitely please me more than Yang Zhao..."
That's not what she meant at all!
But once she said that, it completely confirmed that she had just lied.
“Shameless!”
"Everyone in the Shen family is truly shameless to the extreme. There's no need for further trial. This act of favoring a concubine and killing the wife was a conspiracy by the entire Shen family. Convict them immediately!"
Yin's expression froze.
She looked at Yang Zhao in panic, wanting to explain, but when she met Yang Zhao's eyes, she suddenly didn't know how to start, and an inexplicable sense of shame rose in her heart.
She seemed to have just remembered.
Was she really completely unaware of her son's behavior of "favoring his concubine and neglecting his wife" at that time?
