"Absolutely not? Then why would Old Madam Qian accuse you of causing the death of the Second Young Master Qian's concubine and leaving the Second Young Master Qian's wife on the verge of death?"
Rong Sheng was also very nervous. Nothing had happened to the Qian family when they left last night, so something must have gone wrong after they left. But how much did her father know? Had he fallen into the Qian family's trap?
Xu Shi, in particular, became extremely tense after Magistrate Zuo Li finished speaking, gripping Rong Sheng's hand tightly. She increased the pressure on her hand considerably.
The pain made Rong Sheng's face change slightly, but she did not break free from Xu's hand, but let Xu hold her tightly.
Because she knew that Xu was acting this way simply because she was too worried and too nervous.
Seeing his father's unyielding spirit, Rong Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Then he lowered his eyes and saw his mother gripping Sheng Bao's hand tightly, squeezing Sheng Bao's fair hand until it was red and raw. Sheng Bao didn't utter a sound. He quickly grabbed his mother's arm and leaned closer: "Mom, let go of my hand! You're about to break my hand!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Xu immediately released Rong Sheng's hand and looked at it. It was covered in red marks, with varying depths of nail marks and even a few drops of blood. "Sheng Bao, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to. I was just too worried about your father."
As she spoke, Madam Xu gently took Rong Sheng's hand and blew on it: "Sheng Bao, does it hurt a lot? Let me blow on it for you, and it won't hurt anymore!"
Rong Sheng smiled faintly: "Mother, Sheng Bao is fine, nothing's wrong, don't worry! Let's see how the magistrate handles the case, and try to think of a good way to get Father home safely!"
Rong Yu looked at Rong Sheng with heartache, then said to Madam Xu, "Mother, Sheng Bao is right. Let's not dwell on this for now. When we get home, let's make it up to Sheng Bao properly. Father's matter... is more important."
Feeling guilty and uneasy, Madam Xu didn't say anything, but instead focused her attention on the courtroom.
Unexpectedly, when I looked over, I saw Rong Dong'an's head turned around. The commotion must have caught Rong Dong'an's attention, otherwise why would he turn around?
Madam Xu's eyes instantly reddened, and she silently told Rong Dong'an that she believed in him!
Not only Xu Shi, but also Rong Sheng and his two siblings silently conveyed this message to Rong Dong'an: they believed in him and were waiting for him to come home!
Rong Dong'an was deeply moved. He withdrew his gaze, turned around, and said in a humble but not arrogant manner under everyone's gaze, "Your Excellency, I was unaware! Four days ago, I was summoned by the Qian family to treat the eldest son of the Qian family's hidden illness. I have never seen the second son of the Qian family, nor his concubines, including the second young mistress of the Qian family!"
However, I did indeed examine a woman who was weak, with the same condition as the eldest son of the Qian family. But apart from that one time, I have never seen any female relatives in the Qian family. So I really don’t know why the old lady of the Qian family would accuse me of killing the concubine of the second son of the Qian family and causing the second young mistress of the Qian family to be on the verge of death.
Therefore, I am also very curious: why have I never seen the second young master of the Qian family's woman? How did the Qian family come to believe that I was the one who killed the second young master's woman? Furthermore, when and how did the second young master's concubine die? Was a coroner examined her? Also, why was the second young mistress of the Qian family on her deathbed? I urge Your Excellency to send someone to investigate this thoroughly!
These charges are completely fabricated!
If it were Qian Rong, the eldest son of the Qian family, who had died, then they could frame him, since he was always the one who treated him and changed his medication.
But what does the woman of the second young master of the Qian family have to do with him?!
That's strange!
The Qian family's brains must be rusty.
How could they do something so foolish?!
"This..." Old Madam Qian was taken aback when she realized that Rong Dong'an was so calm and had even pointed out the key to the matter.
To be honest, this attempt to frame Rong Dong'an was just a spur-of-the-moment decision, a way to make him take the blame and become a scapegoat, without any careful planning.
Left with no other choice, Madam Qian began to fabricate a story: "My lord, you don't know this, but my second daughter-in-law, Madam Gao, and my concubine, Hao Zhi, are as close as sisters. The other day, when Hao Zhi learned that Doctor Rong Dong'an was coming to treat my eldest son, Qian Rong, she thought of having Doctor Rong Dong'an examine her as well. Little did she know that Doctor Rong Dong'an was a wolf in sheep's clothing!"
Driven by lust, he reached out his devilish hand to Hao Zhi, causing her days of pain and grief. She ultimately couldn't recover from the blow. If it weren't for Madam Gao's constant care, we wouldn't have known that Hao Zhi had been sexually assaulted by Doctor Rong Dong'an!
Old Madam Qian said hesitantly, "If you don't believe me, you can send a coroner to investigate whether my poor daughter-in-law died of worry or was sexually assaulted."
Zuo Li glanced coldly at Old Madam Qian. If he hadn't already known all the dirty and sordid things in the Qian family and that Qian Ye's woman had nothing to do with Rong Dong'an, he probably would have been led by the nose by this woman too!
Unauthorized work?
The coroner didn't examine the case carefully. Don't think he didn't know that the coroner was specifically hired by the Qian family to mislead him in his judgment.
Zuo Li said, "After the coroner examined the body, he said that Young Master Qian's concubine died this morning at dawn, and that she died from immoral conduct, not from worry. May I ask, Madam Qian, what explanation do you have?"
You bribed the coroner? Doesn't he have any of his own people? Getting the coroner to do a second examination would be a very simple matter, wouldn't it?
"This..." Old Madam Qian hesitated for a long time, unable to explain it.
Seeing this, Rong Sheng sneered. If she could go to court without getting beaten, she really wanted to pin Old Madam Qian to the ground and rub her in the dirt, to let her know that if she wanted to frame someone, she'd have to see if the Qian family was tough enough!
Seeing this, Rong Zheng was overjoyed and couldn't help but shout, "Old woman Qian, explain yourself! Why won't you explain? Is it because you know that your Qian family has slandered my father? Is that why you can't even give an explanation?"
Rong Zheng's words resonated with many people outside the courtroom, who began to murmur amongst themselves. "The Qian family has never been anything good. Let me tell you, I have a relative who works for the Qian family. He once told us that the eldest son of the Qian family had an affair with the concubine of the second son, and they even had an illegitimate child! It's just that the second son is too filial and afraid of upsetting his parents, so he has been enduring his woman cheating on him!"
"What the hell! What kind of coward would a man be to let his older brother cheat on him?"
"Who told Old Mrs. Qian and Old Master Qian to dislike the second young master of the Qian family and prefer the eldest young master? That's why they don't care about the second young master's dignity and reputation! I've also heard that not only is the second young master's concubine having an affair with the eldest young master, but even his legal wife is having an affair with the eldest young master. Tell me, how could a family like that not have any trouble?"
"Shh!! Stop talking, the second young master of the Qian family is standing at the door. If he hears us, he'll go crazy, can you handle it?!"
