Prince Cheng's Mansion.
As soon as Old Madam Yang saw Tang Jian and his wife approaching, she lunged at Lin Zao as if she were ready to fight to the death.
Unfortunately, before she could pounce, she was stopped by the nanny beside Princess Cheng.
"It was you! Wasn't it you who killed my grandson!"
"I've met Old Madam Yang. What do you mean by harming your grandson? I don't understand what you're talking about." Lin Zao looked at her with a puzzled expression.
When Old Madam Yang saw that Lin Zao was pretending to be stupid, she was so angry that the veins on her forehead throbbed.
"You're just retaliating against the Yang family, it must be you!"
Tang Jian's face was cold and stern. "Oh? I don't understand what you mean, Madam. Why should we retaliate against your Yang family?"
Old Madam Yang clearly hadn't expected that Tang Jian would find a loophole in her words.
I was momentarily speechless.
Seeing her pale and bluish-green face, Tang Jian coldly curled the corners of his lips.
Seeing that she couldn't find any fault with the Tang family, Old Madam Yang turned around and knelt down in front of Prince Cheng and his wife, who were sitting in the high seats.
"Your Highness, please do justice for me! My poor grandson has had his eyes gouged out and is still unconscious. Please, Your Highness, you must help us catch the murderer!"
She glared fiercely at Tang Jian and his wife.
"If my Duke knew that his most beloved grandson had become like this, he would be furious."
"If I fail to punish the murderer severely, my Duke might take this matter to the imperial court. I do not wish to escalate the situation, so please understand, Your Highness."
Old Madam Yang's words were a veiled threat to King Cheng. If King Cheng did not give the Yang family a satisfactory answer and find the murderer, she didn't know how the Yang State Duke would escalate the situation.
From the moment Tang Jian and his wife entered the room, Prince Cheng sat steadily in his chair, watching with an inscrutable expression as Old Madam Yang and the Tang family engaged in their back-and-forth confrontation.
Now that the fire has spread to their side, and they are being blatantly threatened by this old hag from the Yang family, they realize that the fire has spread to their side.
King Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, a warm smile appearing on his lips.
"Why do you say that, Madam? As long as the real culprit is found and the evidence is conclusive, I will act in accordance with the law. Madam, please rest assured."
"I beg Your Highness to arrest these two and interrogate them thoroughly! My granddaughter was disfigured by this country woman a few days ago, and my son Tianbao's current state is definitely related to them!"
Lin Zao found it utterly ridiculous that this old man would bite them right away.
"I disagree with what you're saying, madam. When did I harm your granddaughter? Do you have any evidence? Can you judge a case based solely on guesswork, madam?"
“Since I say so, I have evidence. My servants saw that the assassin’s figure was the same as yours. How dare you deny it?”
Old Madam Yang's face was full of disgust.
Lin Zao raised her voice, "So you didn't see the assassin's face clearly? You convicted me based on just his figure, it's utterly ridiculous."
"I could go to the market right now and find eight or ten people with the same build as me. Does that mean we're all the murderers?"
Lin Zao's expression suddenly sharpened, and she said in a cold voice:
“However, while you, Madam, have no evidence, I do. When Miss Yang was injured, I was reading in the bookstore! The bookstore clerks can all testify to that.”
"And your grandson, that's even more outrageous! We knew absolutely nothing about him, yet you still targeted us!"
"I just don't know what evidence you can produce, Madam?"
Old Madam Yang lost all face after being refuted by Lin Zao's series of words.
