"Don't rush, we're about to ask for evidence, aren't we?" Bai Yan said.
"He's bloodthirsty by nature, and with a mother like you covering for him, I imagine he's killed quite a few people. You must have a regular place to dispose of bodies... Is it by the river? On the mountain? In the suburbs?"
Song felt as if her clothes had been stripped off, and she trembled uncontrollably.
Marquis Chen had already sensed something was wrong and quickly helped his wife up from the ground: "My lady is unwell, I must take her back to the manor!"
"Is Your Excellency showing contempt for the laws of our dynasty?" Bai Yan asked calmly.
An Shisi and Caizhu each raised their knives on one side, while Chen Hou clenched his fists tightly... He should have refused; when the Wise King approached him, he could have clearly refused.
He closed his eyes, filled with endless regret... The truth about his mother's death pained him, but what terrified him even more now was this matter!

"It can't be that weird, can it? She just asked a few questions and found out. I don't believe it."
"But Madam Song has already admitted it! Why else would she admit it? Why would she put on an act?"
Someone else touched their cold arm and said, "I think it's haunted by a ghost... Miss Bai is a bit strange. She seems to know everything? Is she haunted?"
Bai Yan didn't listen to what was being said outside the courtroom. She simply waved her hand and said, "Lord Liu, go and look for the victim in the water in the western suburbs."
"After all these years, it's time for them to rest in peace."
