Not long after, the officer returned with the three men.
Yan Qingyun held Li Shuyao tightly, and the two of them knelt on the marble together, staring at the ground in a daze.
Zhao Yuru turned her head to look at the two people kneeling beside her. Seeing that her friend had a rag wrapped around his forehead, tears welled up in her eyes.
Qingqing....
Gui Juhua hadn't figured out the situation yet. When she arrived, she looked at the prefect Wang in the hall and cried out, "Sir, I am innocent!"
Ye Xin laughed when he heard this outside the venue. Is this guy mentally ill? He says he is wronged before people even ask him a question. Are you afraid that others don’t know what you have done?
Sure enough, after Gui Juhua finished her cry of injustice, Magistrate Wang slammed the gavel and said, "Gui, I haven't even asked you a question yet, why are you crying out for injustice?"
"ah!"
Gui Juhua was dumbfounded. How could this be different from what the boss said?
“I…I…”
She talked to me for a long time without saying anything.
Upon seeing this, Magistrate Wang spoke impatiently from the hall, "Gui, do you admit your guilt?"
"Sir, I am ignorant and stupid. May I ask what crime I have committed?"
After Gui Juhua was stuck for a long time, her intelligence suddenly came online. She said what she had prepared in her mind in the calmest voice in her life.
"Hmph! I'm asking you, are you abusing your daughter-in-law and granddaughter?"
Hearing this, Gui Juhua was shocked and shook her head reflexively, "Sir, how is this possible? Although my daughter-in-law is a widow, how could I abuse her?"
"Sir, she's lying. Look at the wound on Qingqing's head. It was clearly caused by her."
Zhao Yuru glared at Gui Juhua, then reached out and gently pulled off the cloth wrapped around Yan Qingyun's head.
Yan Qingyun didn't even make a sound and obediently cooperated with Zhao Yuru's actions.
After the cloth strip was removed, Prefect Wang glanced sideways and saw a pebble-sized wound on Yan Qingyun's forehead.
The wound was still oozing blood, and even some yellow pus could be faintly seen.
Despite having such a large wound, Yan Qingyun remained silent, as if it was just a small cut.
Zhao Yuru was stunned when she opened the wound. She knew Qingqing was injured, but she didn't expect it to be so serious.
Suddenly, she stared at Gui Juhua fiercely with murderous eyes.
This old witch, even if I risk my life today, I will ask the prefect to give Qingqing justice.
When Gui Juhua saw the horrific wound, her eyelids twitched uncontrollably.
this...
How come it hasn’t healed yet? It was just hit by a bowl that day.
Magistrate Wang stared at Gui Juhua, who was kneeling in the middle, with disgust. "Gui, what else do you have to say?"
Gui Juhua was anxious, she knelt and crawled a few steps forward.
"Sir, I am truly innocent. My daughter-in-law runs out every day. Who knows where she fell? You can't convict me just because of this!"
Ye Xin stood outside and sneered. This old woman was quite capable. Under the watchful eyes of officials from both sides, she would actually refuse to admit it.
I have to say, this old woman has excellent psychological quality.
Immediately, she cupped her hand to her lips and coughed lightly, "Your Excellency, as far as I know, after Yan Qingyun's husband passed away, she moved with Gui Juhua to her husband's eldest brother's house. In the past few years, the neighbors have never seen Yan Qingyun leave the house."
"In this case, I'd like to ask Gui Juhua, how did you determine that your daughter-in-law went out every day? Do you have any witnesses?"
Gui Juhua was obviously feeling guilty when she heard this. She looked around and quickly thought about how to speak.
Did she mean that she was old and had a bad memory, or had she seen it with her own eyes?
Seeing that Gui Juhua didn't say anything for a long time, Magistrate Wang looked outside and asked, "Who is standing outside the venue? Is what he said true?"
Ye Xin gave Yuan Tianwei a reassuring look, then walked up the steps to the lobby. "Lord Wang, I'm just passing by. The other day, when I passed by a courtyard, I happened to see this old woman beating her daughter-in-law. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I spoke up."
"If you insist on asking my name, then my name is Lei Feng."
Magistrate Wang frowned slightly, "Lady Lei Feng, why don't you kneel before me?"
Ye Xin shrugged and looked at him innocently, "Didn't you, the prefect, tell me not to kneel?"
Magistrate Wang was so angry at this that he blew his beard and glared, "Nonsense, when did I ever ask you not to kneel?"
"Of course, just now."
Ye Xin's eyes suddenly widened, and a star symbol flashed in them.
Magistrate Wang's pupils suddenly shrank, and his frown gradually relaxed. "Yes, it was I who forbade you to kneel."
The lawyer looked at Magistrate Wang in confusion, wondering why the magistrate was acting so abnormally today.
"Then, Mr. Prefect, can we continue with the topic we were discussing?"
Ye Xin smiled and walked over to stand beside Zhao Yuru.
"Yes...yes."
Magistrate Wang followed Ye Xin's movements, and only after she stood still did he begin to interrogate Gui Juhua again, "Gui, do you plead guilty to what Miss Lei Feng just said?"
Gui Juhua looked up in fear and said, "Sir, I plead not guilty. I am innocent. These people colluded to deceive you. Sir, you must give me justice!"
Gui Juhua thought about this for a long time before coming up with this solution. Normally when she was out, she was always a kind-hearted, sour-browed, mean-spirited old woman. She didn't believe that anyone would really suspect that she would beat up that little bitch.
Seeing her so sure, the people who were listening outside the venue gradually changed from being shocked to being suspicious.
