"But... our little girl can't die in vain."

"What can we do? Even if it was really done by Madam, do you have any evidence? Even if there is evidence, Madam will have a way to make the servants take the blame. No matter what happens, it is impossible to pin this matter on her."

Caiyu nodded and went back feeling disappointed.

After returning, I saw Aunt Cui coming and she was talking to the young lady while wiping her tears.

Seeing her fearful look, Ruan Xinchen asked, "Did she find a powerful helper?"

Caiyu nodded and shook her head.

Ruan Xinchen: “…”

"Yes or no?"

"I don't know either. Aunt Qian said that King Zhan said something true. But...but King Zhan..." She didn't know whether she could believe it or not.

Ever since she heard from the young lady that Prince Zhan had come forward to dig up Madam Ruan's past, she has been skeptical.

Hearing her say this, Ruan Xinchen felt relieved.

"That's all right, Aunt Cui. We will definitely succeed this time."

Cui Er nodded and said, "Every word you said is true. Your mother was killed by Wang Po and her men, and it must be the young master as well."

"Well, I believe you."

The second one is the last one.

Chu Xuanche still hadn't come back, nor had he seen Chu Xuanling.

As she was about to go out, Princess Gong came over.

"Xinchen, Xiaoche is not here, I will go with you."

Ruan Xinchen was touched, "Thank you, mother."

"It's okay, let's go together."

She was worried that she would be bullied by others.

Ruan Xinchen knew the fighting ability of Princess Gong. She usually stayed at home and rarely interacted with others.

But no one should try to bully her. If anyone tries to bully her, she will lose face and expose the person's shortcomings, scolding them until they doubt their life.

It was precisely because of this that she had few friends in the circle of noble ladies in the capital.

This time the trial was no longer held at the Ruan family's home, but at the government office in Kyoto.

In order to try this case, a sign saying "Ya Ya" was hung on the door of the yamen, and the door was closed after people entered.

The people being tried are high-ranking officials, so we should give them some face. It cannot be as open as the trial of the people.

We all arrived quite late, including Ruan Hong and his wife, Chu Li, and Ruan Yihe.

This time Ruan Yihe was not pointed out and her eyes rolled around.

I've learned my lesson this time. I shouldn't talk nonsense again.

Ling Lie was right beside her, if she yelled randomly, she would definitely be punished.

"Everyone is here, Xiao Zheng, go and ask them to bring the prisoner here."

"Yes, sir."

"Please wait a moment, it will be over in a moment."

Mrs. Ruan said unhappily, "Lord Lu, the case is still being decided, how can you call the prisoner?"

Lord Lu was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Mrs. Ruan is wrong. She should call the suspect and bring him here."

snort.

Madam Ruan was fearless, she felt that King Zhan would definitely stand on her side without any doubt.

After all, she is your mother. If something happens to me, it will have a very bad impact on you.

I don't know what the Queen's party will do to create more resistance for you to ascend to that position.

The fact that he came to the town in his wheelchair explained everything.

But if Lord Lu still couldn't figure out the reason after a while, she would take those servants back.

She turned around and put the blame on others, making Ruan Xinchen, the little bitch, and Cui'er, the bitch, have to bear the consequences.

While waiting, Mrs. Ruan looked at Ruan Xinchen and Princess Gong with contempt.

Since Er Chu Xuan Che didn't come and Prince Gong wasn't here either, just let the two women come over.

Tsk!

It can be seen that Prince Gong and his son did not take Ruan Xinchen seriously.

However, when she saw several suspects being brought in, she could no longer laugh.

They were all covered in blood, and they looked like they were no longer human when they were dragged here.

One of them didn't even have a single fingernail. He stretched out his hand to Madam Ruan and shouted weakly, "Madam... help... help..."

Mrs. Ruan was so frightened that she screamed and stepped back quickly.

But the skirt was still stained with blood.

She looked at the blood on her skirt and the bloody bodies and was so frightened that she nearly fainted.

No, I can't get dizzy.

Was she dizzy? Didn't she just let these people talk nonsense?

And her daughter, Ruan Yihe, fainted.

That's good now, Ling Lie doesn't have to point her out.

This was not the first time that Ruan Xinchen had seen such a bloody scene. In his previous life, Chu Li was stabbed in the back, and that was how torturous it was.

Of course, it's not the early Chu Li, but the Chu Li who is about to take the throne.

It's obvious that this is Chu Li's work.

"This...this...Lord Lu, what do you mean?" Mrs. Ruan calmed down a little and asked tremblingly.

Lord Lu said quietly: "This is a routine procedure for dealing with dishonest prisoners."

Is this normal practice?

Ruan Hong sneered, "You didn't know that the Kyoto government would torture women like this. Lord Lu, humph, I will definitely report you to the emperor."

"Don't worry, Master Ruan. Let's review the case first. After the review, you can decide whether to report me or not."

My teacher brought a stack of signed petitions.

Lord Lu took a look at it and confirmed that it was correct before telling everyone the result.

"Mrs. Ruan, they all confessed that it was Wang, who was with you, who led them into your sister Xiao Cui's house and killed someone."

Cui Er cried with joy, "They admitted it. They finally admitted it."

Mrs. Ruan staggered two steps, "What did you say?"

"Don't be impatient, Madam Ruan. Let me finish my words."

Lord Lu read the testimony directly.

During this time, Ruan Hong looked at Mrs. Ruan in disbelief.

Mrs. Ruan looked at Chu Li in disbelief.

She thought her backer was Chu Li, and she also believed that Chu Li would definitely not let her bear such a big stain.

Even if there is evidence to prove that I did it, I will still find a way to excuse myself.

But why is this happening?

Chu Li didn't even look at her, with a cold expression on his face.

Ruan Yihe fainted and woke up again, crying until she was unconscious.

Or maybe she wasn't dizzy at all and was just pretending.

"Prince, you...how could you...how could you do this?" Ruan Yihe felt very uncomfortable. She seemed to want to say something but was too scared to say it.

She even lacked the courage to question.

After Lord Lu finished reading, he looked at Madam Ruan and said, "The servants of the Ruan Mansion, Fang Xiaolian and others, have all signed. Madam Ruan, do you have any objections?"

Mrs. Ruan was trembling and unable to speak.

Ruan Hong supported her and said, "Madam, is what they said true?"

Mrs. Ruan shook her head. "No, I don't know."

Yes, she doesn't know.

She seemed to have grasped the last straw, and grabbed Ruan Hong's arm and said, "Master, after my sister died, I was scared and gave birth to a premature baby. I gave birth to Ziyi at night, and I don't know anything."

Lord Lu said, "It doesn't matter. Let's call Mrs. Wang."

Lord Lu had already arranged for people to arrest Mrs. Wang. He shouted loudly, and immediately the yamen runners brought Mrs. Wang in.
