Huo Minglang looked at the imposing Minister of Justice and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"Lord Xu, what brings you here?"
With a stern face, Xu Shaoshi, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, said, "Princess Duanyang has accused General Huo's concubine, Wang, of two major crimes: hiring someone to commit murder and poisoning her own daughter! We have both witnesses and physical evidence. I will take Wang back for a thorough investigation! I hope the General will cooperate."
That's right!
That was the concubine, Lady Wang!
In the eyes of wealthy and powerful families, let alone a second wife, even a concubine is still considered a mistress!
Unfortunately, Xu Shaoshi, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, was a rigid person. In the past, he would have addressed her as "Second Madam," but now that she had committed a crime, he called her "Madam Wang" directly.
"What did you say?"
Huo Minglang roared, "Nonsense! Where did you get this evidence?"
What does it mean to hire someone to kill someone and poison one's own daughter?
Poisoning his own daughter?
Elegant and pure?
Wang Yufei's limbs went limp instantly, her heart pounded wildly, and she was so nervous she felt like she was about to die: "Slander! This is all slander!"
"The murder was hired by Madam Wang. She instructed her maid to hire an assassin to ambush Huo Chenyi outside the capital. Both the maid and the assassin have been arrested and have signed and sealed the documents," said Xu Shaoshi, the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, in a serious tone.
Wang Yufei subconsciously turned around to look at the maid behind her!
Sure enough, the maid who had previously ordered the hitman to commit murder had disappeared!
what to do!
how so?
"The poisoning of her own daughter was orchestrated by Wang, who deliberately gave her biological daughter, Huo Yajie, a drug that, while not poison, could weaken and kill her! There is the testimony of the wet nurse, Li, and a complete chain of evidence proving the purchase of the drug!"
"Both crimes are serious, and there is evidence and testimony for every single one of them. Now I must take Wang back for questioning! If the General does not cooperate, I will not hesitate to go to the palace to request an imperial decree!"
As Xu Shaoshi's voice fell to the ground, Wang Yufei collapsed to the floor with a thud, covered in cold sweat.
how so? ?
