Confession?

Zhu Ziyu looked at Jiang Si as if he was staring at a ferocious beast.

Everything was planned well, why did it turn out like this?

Jiang Si had a sneer on his lips as he stared at Zhu Ziyu. A faint light surged out from his palm and quietly flew towards the man who was on the verge of emotional collapse.

"Zhu Ziyu, this is the first time I've seen a man like you who plots to cheat on his wife. I'm sure it's the first time for everyone to see this, too."

The onlookers laughed and echoed: "Yeah, I've never heard of it!"

The laughter hit Zhu Ziyu's eardrums, making his head dizzy, like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins and was out of control.

It doesn’t have to be like this!

Why didn't Jiang die in shock? If she had died at that time, Qing'er wouldn't have needed this move!

Zhu Ziyu screamed in his heart, going crazy at his own bad luck.

But he soon found that everything around him was quiet and people were looking at him with incredible eyes.

A great force came.

"You beast, do you know what you are talking about!" In just two or three days, Zhu Shaoqing's hair turned mostly white. He now looked old and frail. His son's sudden rumors dealt him another heavy blow. He couldn't help but slap Zhu Ziyu in the face.

Zhu Ziyu's eyes gradually regained clarity and he couldn't help but cover his mouth.

Did he just speak out what was in his heart?

The thrilling experience on the way back from Baiyun Temple was indeed arranged by him.

His mother was very strict and it was not easy for Jiang to go on a long trip, so he prepared a double plan.

First there was the frightening horse. If Jiang died in the frightening horse, that would be the best. He only had to endure for a year and then he could marry another woman.

However, such accidents are difficult to control after all. If Jiang is safe and sound, he will tie a colorful silk ribbon on the reins of the horse. When Qing'er, who has been waiting halfway, sees the colorful silk ribbon fluttering, she will rush out and put on a show.

Based on his understanding of Jiang, Jiang would definitely rescue Qing'er and bring her back home, and then another plan could be implemented.

As long as Jiang was divorced and sent back to her parents' home on the charge of having an affair, she would commit suicide without his intervention, and then no one would cause him any more trouble.

This plan requires patience, but it is foolproof.

But the plan he thought was foolproof turned out to have such a huge flaw. Why did this happen?

Jiang Si was already tired of seeing Zhu Ziyu's half-dead appearance, so he turned around and bowed to Zhen Shicheng.

The girl's voice is higher and clearer than the boy's, and therefore, it is clearer in everyone's ears.

"My Lord, you just heard that Zhu Ziyu said that he hoped my elder sister died in the horse-racing accident. Add to that the long needle found in the horse's hip, the untenable reason given by the driver who committed suicide, and Zhu Ziyu's recognition of the Qing'er sisters' move... I have reason to believe that Zhu Ziyu was the mastermind behind the horse-racing accident!"

Zhen Shicheng listened patiently to Jiang Si's narration, stroking his beard from time to time.

The onlookers couldn't wait to shout.

"Yes, it must be the man surnamed Zhu who wants to murder his wife!"

"Oh my god, there are actually men with such vicious minds. I've really learned something new."

"This is nothing. The wife of Zhang Dalang in Nantou had an affair with a stranger, and she poisoned Zhang Dalang to death. This person, regardless of gender, will do anything once he or she has evil intentions!"

…

The sounds of these discussions poured into Zhu Ziyu's ears like the buzzing of countless bees, making him feel upset and confused.

"Shut up!" Zhu Ziyu shouted, looking hysterical and ugly.

The scene suddenly became quiet.

Zhu Ziyu stared at Jiang Si fiercely and asked sinisterly, "Miss Jiang Si kept saying that I was plotting to murder your sister, so how is your sister now?"

Jiang Si raised his eyebrows slightly.

My eldest sister is now in the Dongping Marquis's mansion, and of course she is safe and sound.

Not only Jiang Si, everyone quickly understood what Zhu Ziyu meant.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was no crime of attempted murder.

Zhu Ziyu's wife is fine now, and there is no solid evidence for the startled horse incident. Even if Zhu Ziyu admitted that he intended to use a pair of twin sisters to frame his wife, this incident has not happened yet, so he cannot be convicted. At most, he will be condemned by the world.

Jiang Si sighed softly: "After reading books, I can keep my composure."

The laws of this world are so ridiculous. If you don't succeed, you are innocent?

The eldest sister was not physically hurt, but her heart had already been deeply hurt by Zhu Ziyu and would never recover.

Zhu Ziyu was like a lone wolf forced into a desperate situation, looking at Jiang Si in silence.

Jiang Si suddenly smiled: "Zhu Ziyu, you may have forgotten why we came here to file a complaint today."

"Purpose?" Zhu Ziyu murmured these two words.

The onlookers were all curiously waiting for Jiang Si's answer.

Jiang Si found it a little funny.

In this world, rules are eternal, but human hearts are unpredictable.

Just because Zhu Ziyu's words were so shocking, so many people actually forgot the original purpose of coming to the Dongping Marquis's mansion to report to the authorities.

It's good this way. People's hearts are unpredictable, so it's easier to incite them and become the help she needs.

"Yes, have you forgotten that the Duke's Mansion came to report to the authorities today, asking them to sentence my elder sister to break off relations with you?"

Who said they were going to sue Zhu Ziyu for murder? From the very beginning, what the Bo family wanted was to end the relationship righteously and take Yanyan away from the Zhu family openly.

So what if Zhu Ziyu won't go to jail? He has been a proud child of the heavens since he was a child, but from now on he will be looked down upon by the world, so he should experience the feeling of a life worse than death.

Jiang Si bowed solemnly to Zhen Shicheng and said in a loud voice, "Sir, Zhu Ziyu has the intention to harm his first wife, which makes him unworthy of being a husband; he does not care about the pain of his daughter losing her mother at a young age, which makes him unworthy of being a father. As a disciple of the emperor and a scholar selected into the Hanlin Academy, he has failed the emperor's expectations, which is disloyalty; he intends to murder his first wife and destroy the alliance of life, which is unrighteousness; he makes his parents laugh and the family shame, which is unfilial. For such a disloyal, unrighteous and unfilial person, I beg you to make a wise judgment and sentence my sister to break off the relationship with Zhu Ziyu and give his daughter Yanyan to my sister to raise."

Jiang Si's words were passionate, like sparks falling into everyone's hearts, igniting their enthusiasm and passion.

Everyone shouted, "It's a righteous death, it's a righteous death. Please, Lord Justice, sentence the Jiang and Zhu families to righteous death!"

Amidst such overwhelming calls, Zhen Shicheng solemnly made a verdict: "Zhu Ziyu has the intention to harm his first wife. The couple regards this as a severance of their relationship. Their daughter Yanyan will be handed over to her for care. Court adjourned!"

There was a burst of joy inside and outside the court.

After hearing the verdict, Zhu Ziyu was distraught and stepped back.

People who got close to him quickly avoided him as if they were avoiding the plague, and then countless rotten cabbage leaves and stinky eggs were thrown at him.

In such a lively atmosphere, Jiang Si smiled at Jiang Ancheng and said, "Father, let's go pick up Yanyan and take her home."
