Chapter 10 She Still Cares About Him



Such words seemed like a gift, and she should agree with great gratitude.

"Compensation? What compensation? Can you bring Zuo Ying and Liu Yue back to life? Can you heal the wound on the back of my head instantly? And your divorce letter, once written, it's written, it can't be undone!"

Zou Yangyao and Ni Gaofei were both unaware that Ni Yueshan was still injured. Ni Yueshan was so arrogant, and because the Prime Minister was here, Zou Yangyao wanted to get angry, but he suppressed it.

"Yueshan, don't be angry. Now that you've lost two maids, I can arrange for six or eight more. I can also hire the best doctor to personally apply medicine to your wounds. I'll pretend that I never wrote the divorce letter! I'll also order everyone in the mansion to forget about it. You're still my wife! I've married you in a formal ceremony, my only wife!"

If the original owner were still alive, she might happily nod and agree, thinking that she was the happiest and luckiest woman in the world. However, to Ni Yueshan, this sounded extremely ironic.

"It's too late."

The real Ni Yueshan is already dead, so naturally no amount of compensation will be of any use!

Ni Gaofei looked at Ni Yueshan with complicated eyes. According to his understanding of Ni Yueshan, Ni Yueshan would definitely not be able to refuse Zou Yangyao's kindness, but Ni Yueshan was very determined now.

He felt a little relieved: "General Zou, see you at the Dali Temple!"

It was now dusk and would soon be dark. Zou Yangyao hoped that Yang Wanyan could come out earlier, but since Ni Gaofei was there, he had to give way. He was afraid that if he went at this time, the situation would become even more difficult to resolve.

Ni Gaofei had already boarded the carriage, and Ni Yueshan followed suit. It was obvious that the two of them had no intention of giving up.

Zou Yangyao's face was gloomy. He jumped on his horse and rode towards the Dali Temple.

Zou Yangyao was a headache, but now that Ni Gaofei was here, Kang Xueyi felt even more troubled. He regretted it very much and wondered why he was so greedy for money.

"Sir, please re-examine Yang Wanyan!" Ni Yueshan said with a smile. Ni Gaofei beside him had a gloomy expression. Kang Xueyi felt extremely pressured.

He didn't dare to hesitate and ordered the officer beside him: "Go quickly and bring Yang Wanyan here!"

Then another person walked in...

"Zou, General Zou, you are here too?"

Kang Xueyi couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead. He didn't want to offend either side.

Ni Yueshan has said that she will sue Zou Yangyao for hiring someone to defile her. Tonight is destined to be an extraordinary night.

"This general is here to listen." Zou Yangyao was no longer as angry as he was at the beginning. He walked towards the seat next to him.

He was not there today when Yang Wanyan was interrogated. Now Ni Yueshan and Ni Gaofei are both confident that they can prove Yang Wanyan's guilt. He wants to see how they will do it.

"Please take a seat, Prime Minister." Kang Xueyi made a gesture of invitation to Ni Gaofei. Only after Ni Gaofei sat down did Kang Xueyi dare to walk towards his own seat.

Yang Wanyan was counting the time in the cell. Zou Yangyao should have left the palace. As long as he was still conscious, he would definitely come to save her.

As she was expecting, the jailer arrived and took her to the hall for trial. A hint of joy appeared on her face. "But the general is here?"

"You'll find out when you go."

Yang Wanyan was taken to the lobby, and unexpectedly, Ni Yueshan and Ni Gaofei were also there.

Yang Wanyan only glanced at Zou Yangyao briefly, then knelt on the ground and saluted the Dali Temple Minister: "Greetings, Your Excellency."

"Ms. Yang, I want to ask you, do you stand by your words? You didn't kill Liu Yue?"

Except for Liu Yue, Zuo Ying and Ni Yueshan, all the others present at the time were Yang Wanyan's people. Naturally, whatever she said, others would agree with her.

Yang Wanyan didn't hesitate and responded firmly, "I didn't kill him."

Ni Yueshan curled her lips into a smile, a scorn flashing in her eyes. She looked at Zou Yangyao and said, "General, you were there at the time. Why don't you tell me what happened?"

Zou Yangyao's eyes were deep, "At that time, this general entered late and did not see the situation clearly!"

"Did the General see that Concubine Yang stabbed someone with a knife?"

At that time, Yang Wanyan hid the blade behind her, but Zou Yangyao knew that Yang Wanyan had the intention to kill. If Liu Yue had not appeared, Ni Yueshan might have died!

“Never!”

The two extremely clear words came out of his mouth without hesitation, and Yang Wanyan, who was originally nervous, breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if Ni Gaofei is here, Zou Yangyao will still protect her! What is she worried about?

"At that time, I was being held captive. Did the General see it?"

Ni Yueshan stared at Zou Yangyao, wondering how good he was at lying with his eyes open.

"Yeah." Zou Yangyao responded with a low voice and was unwilling to say more.

"Okay, except for me, everyone else present at the time was Madam Yang's men. Liu Yue rushed in to save me, so who was the person who stabbed me with a knife?"

Only Yang Wanyan and her people were present, and the murderer was naturally one of them.

Yang Wanyan became anxious upon hearing this: "General, you saw it at the time. It wasn't me who did it, right?"

Yang Wanyan looked at Zou Yangyao with sad eyes and pleadingly. She looked pitiful and helpless, and it was impossible to tell that he was a cruel killer.

Before Zou Yangyao could respond, Ni Yueshan immediately questioned, "If it wasn't you who did it? Then who do you think it was?"

Ni Yueshan looked at Yang Wanyan with sharp eyes, giving her a strong sense of oppression. Yang Wanyan clenched her fists, bit her lips, and tears fell one by one.

"No, I can't say, I can't say..."

She shook her head with a painful expression on her face, and it really looked like she was hiding the truth for someone.

"You can't tell? At that time, one of your maids went to fetch General Zou, and the other personal maid stayed behind. What was her name? Bai Han, right?"

Yang Wanyan ignored him and just shook her head desperately, pretending that she knew nothing and was unclear about anything.

Ni Yueshan curled his lips into a smile and said to Kang Xueyi, "Sir, Aunt Yang has personally testified that Bai Han from the General's Mansion killed a commoner's maid! I ask the Minister of the Temple to arrest her!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Yang Wanyan's eyes. It was naturally good that the blame was put on Bai Han. She bit her lip and said nothing.

Ni Yueshan looked at Zou Yangyao again: "General, do you want to add anything? General, was it Bai Han who saw the wounding?"

Ni Yueshan changed her tone. Was she trying to reconcile? Had she figured it out?

Zou Yangyao had just lost confidence, thinking that Ni Yueshan no longer cared about him. Now it seems that he was overthinking it. Ni Yueshan still wanted to return to him and pray for grace.

"It's Bai Han!"

Zou Yangyao responded, and Yang Wanyan, who was kneeling on the ground, breathed a sigh of relief.

Ni Gaofei didn't say anything. He always felt that Ni Yueshan had changed and became too sharp.

Kang Xueyi wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Ahem, come here, capture Bai Han from the General's Mansion!"

Ni Yueshan raised the corner of her mouth. Yang Wanyan must have felt that she was saved. She just dragged one more person into the water.
