Gu Yunru smiled, walked to Wang Dafu, and said, "Wang Dafu, I heard that you saw the two of them arguing by the river. What were you going to do at that time?"

"I went to the mountain to look for a cow, but the cow was lost and I didn't find it for a day, so everyone knows about this. I really witnessed Zhou and her mother-in-law arguing, and it was a fierce argument!"

Gu Yunru nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "Have you found the cow?"

Wang Dafu didn't expect that she would ask a question that was unrelated to the case. He shook his head with a pale face and answered truthfully.

"So where did they go after you saw them arguing by the river?"

"I don't know about that. I went to the mountain to look for cattle and saw the two quarreling. Besides, Dalong also knows that the relationship between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law is not harmonious. Everyone in the village knows about it, so it's not surprising that something like this happened."

Gu Yunru looked at him with a wandering gaze, and repeatedly emphasized the bad relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. He had been holding on to this sentence from the beginning of the court session until now, but he did not describe the specific process of Zhou's murder, which meant that it was just a picture he imagined.

"So you didn't see it. It was Zhou's own son who killed her mother-in-law."

Gu Chengke wanted to step forward to stop him. As a woman, why did she ask so many questions? However, she was stopped by Cheng Shaoyuan's sharp and warning look. She had no choice but to stand aside and wait for Gu Yunru to finish her questions.

Gu Yunru emphasized the words very much. Wang Dafu seemed to be thinking about something, and continued, "Although I didn't see Zhou kill her mother-in-law herself, they quarreled all the way back. It was a fierce quarrel. Besides, Jia was usually domineering and no one liked her."

"So you hate Jia too."

Gu Yunru saw his micro-expressions and made a few extra movements that did not quite fit in with the scene requirements, which meant that Wang Dafu was telling the truth, but at the same time, he was also exaggerating his words and even pinning some unfounded charges on Zhou.

Speaking of Jia's domineering personality, there must be many people who don't like her, so the whole village may have a motive to kill her.

Wang Dafu was so nervous that he didn't even know what to say. He looked around and said, "No one in the village likes her. Of course, I don't like her either, but it's not to this extent..."

"How far?"

"Of course it's someone as cruel as Zhou who killed her own mother-in-law."

Wang Dafu pointed at Zhou behind him. Zhou suddenly looked up and stared at Wang Dafu with resentment. Wang Dafu had already sensed a gloomy and resentful gaze behind him. It turned out to be Zhou.

"I didn't. Why are you slandering me? When I got home, my mother-in-law had already fallen to the ground. I swear I didn't harm my mother-in-law."

Zhou argued actively, and Gu Yunru looked at Zhang Dalong who said nothing, feeling extremely cowardly.

"Okay, you guys don't have to argue anymore. I just got another important piece of information. Wang Dafu, your cow has been found." Gu Yunru said to Wang Dafu. When Wang Dafu heard the news, he was stunned for a moment, then showed joy, "Really? That's great, God has been very kind to me."

Cheng Shaoyuan's expression began to become complicated. Gu Yunru slowly squatted on the ground, looked into his eyes, and let out a strange laugh. This laugh gave Wang Dafu goose bumps all over his body.

"You...what are you laughing at?"

"I laughed at you for lying and not remembering to draft. Look at what this is."

As Gu Yunru spoke, she threw the important evidence she had just obtained in front of Wang Dafu. Wang Dafu looked at the contract for selling the cow. In fact, he had already sold the cow to Jia.

“This is the key to this case. In fact, your cow had already been sold to Jia, but due to the uneven distribution of the money, you had an argument with her and pushed her aside. Jia hit her head on the water tank and died of excessive bleeding.

Later, you were anxious, so you sent someone to call Zhou back, and you also called a group of villagers to wander around nearby. They happened to see Zhou surrounding the dead Jia, creating the illusion that Zhou accidentally killed her mother-in-law. "

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar, and even the villagers who were watching the show at the door could not help but marvel. This reversal was unexpected for everyone.

Rong Zhen narrowed his eyes. How come he didn't notice that the eldest daughter of the Gu family actually had such a smart side.

In fact, these were just Gu Yunru's guesses, but Wang Dafu's forehead was covered with sweat, and slowly, his defenses collapsed...

"I...I have already sold the cow to her, how can I go back on my word? Besides, who would have seen that I pushed her?"

Wang Dafu gritted his teeth and refused to admit it no matter what. Lord Gu watched with great interest.

"No one saw you push her, so why did you lie? You said you were going to look for the cow, but when Zhou came back, Jia was already dead. The time of death doesn't match at all.

Your cow has already been sold, as evidenced by this contract. The date is clearly written on it, which shows that you have been lying from beginning to end. You did not see Zhou killing Jia at all!"

"Well, Wang Dafu, you dare to deceive me!"

Lord Gu, who was sitting on the chair, could not help but speak. Wang Dafu saw that he had been exposed, so he kowtowed and begged for mercy, saying: "Lord, please spare my life. I really didn't mean to hurt Jia. I pushed her accidentally and didn't expect it to cause such a disaster..."

Seeing that Wang Dafu finally pleaded guilty, the villagers gathered at the door talked in a buzz. Gu Yunru took a deep breath and returned to his seat.

"Killing someone means paying with your life. Even if you did it unintentionally, you still have to take responsibility for the crime. Come on, throw him into the dungeon!"

"Please spare my life, sir..."

Wang Dafu kept wailing. Gu Yunru looked at Zhou who was kneeling on the ground and crying. She walked over to help her up and said to her, "You have been cleared of all charges. Why are you still crying?"

"Thank you, young lady. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have been in jail."

Gu Chengke was on pins and needles. Who on earth was this girl? "Ahem, luckily I didn't jump to conclusions. Zhou, you should go back quickly."

Gu Chengke had to play the role of a good person in the end. Gu Yunru shook his head helplessly, holding Zhou's hand and said, "You didn't harm anyone, so the government can't punish you. Go back and live your life well."

Zhang Dalong also stood up at this time, hesitating and not daring to speak to Zhou. He had never favored Zhou in the hall just now, and Zhou's heart had already died.

"My wife..."

"Don't call me wife. I will divorce you tomorrow. We will each live our own lives and never have any contact with each other again!"

Zhou also had a strong personality. Gu Yunru breathed a sigh of relief. Such an outcome would be good for both of them.
