Chapter 250 Mother-in-law Protects Daughter-in-law

Zong Jincheng nodded to show that he understood.

The interrogation outside finally entered the stage of false confession. An official came in with a confession. The Dali Temple official took a look and widened his eyes. Then he turned around and said in a stern voice: "Wang, if you still don't confess, your mother-in-law has already confessed everything."

Wang said in a daze, "Sir, what are you talking about? Didn't my mother-in-law surrender herself a long time ago?"

The Dali Temple official said in a stern voice: "Mother Liu has confessed that Liu Wu's death was also related to you. If you confess the truth yourself, I can still regard it as your surrender, and according to the law, you can be sentenced lightly."

Wang shook her head in fear, tears streaming down her face. "Please investigate, sir. I really had no idea. I was sleeping with my son when the incident happened. Although he was only five years old, he can testify for me and cannot lie."

Zong Jincheng tried to wait for the conclusion of the false confession, but after all the false confessions, he could only see that Wang was wronged. Her eyes, which had been swollen from crying, could basically not be opened.

So miserable...

Although the little devil had softened his heart, the Dali Temple knew it would be better to continue the trial. He was about to continue speaking when the officer came in and said, "Sir, Mother Liu has confessed everything and gave a very detailed confession."

Don’t say that Wang was stunned.

Even the Dali Temple Minister was confused.

No, I just got a confession from Wang, how come Liu's mother suddenly confessed everything?

Everyone went out to review Liu's mother.

According to the account, in addition to Liu Wu, Liu's mother had a second son who accidentally drowned when he fell into a well at the age of five.

When the Dali Temple interrogated Liu's mother about this matter, she sneered and said, "Accidental drowning? That's murder. A biological father murdered his son, he deserves to be cut into pieces."

Everyone was shocked. How come there is new news?

There's another murder case in her family?

The Dali Temple Minister followed up on her words and asked, "Since you knew that Father Liu was the murderer, why didn't you report it to the authorities?"

"Report to the authorities?" Liu's mother sneered. "Without any evidence, what would it do if I reported him? He said he fell into a well and drowned. There are no witnesses or physical evidence. How can you be sure he is the murderer? When the government investigates a case, don't they always look for evidence?"

The Dali Temple Minister narrowed his eyes and asked, "So, Father Liu was killed by you? And it wasn't an accidental death?"

Mother Liu laughed crazily and said, "Yes, he died unexpectedly without any evidence, just like he killed my little son. In the eyes of all the neighbors, he loved his wife and children and never beat his children, but who could know that this beast liked to torture people in perverted ways? My poor child, if he did not do what he wanted, he would be pressed into the basin and tortured, but there was not a single scratch on his body. He said he drowned in the well, but he must have accidentally killed my son when he was torturing the child! My son, my son, he was so young, but he met such a beastly father..."

Mother Liu's face had always been cold and hard, but after this incident was mentioned, she finally couldn't hold back her tears and was heartbroken.

The Dali Temple Minister was even more confused: "If that's the case, the person you hate has already been killed by you, why do you still want to kill Liu Wu? He is also your son, and your only son alive now!"

Mother Liu smiled and raised her head, wiping her tears and said, "Only son? Haha... He is just a born bad seed like his father. On the surface, he is filial to his mother and loves his wife and children, but in fact, he is a beast in human form, a wolf, a replica of his father. My dearest son has the blood of the person I hate the most, and his personality is exactly the same as his... It's ridiculous and pathetic. I killed Liu Wu not only to protect myself, but also to prevent my grandson from following in my youngest son's footsteps. He was only five years old, exactly the same age, equally cute and pitiful."

"You are simply crazy... You killed your son for your grandson and have no regard for human ethics." The Chief Justice of the Dali Temple had probably never heard of such an outrageous thing before. He was so angry at her logic of collective punishment that he was shaking with anger. He couldn't even speak incompletely and just wanted to curse.

At this moment.

The prince came out from behind the scenes and asked bluntly: "Why do you want to turn yourself in? Just like you killed his father quietly, why didn't you just treat it as a natural death? Why didn't you continue to keep it a secret after killing Liu Wu?"

When the Dali Temple Minister saw the Crown Prince coming out, he immediately knelt down and greeted him: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince."

"Long live Your Highness." All the officials in the room knelt down.

"You...you are actually..." Only then did Liu's mother realize who the person who had been listening to the trial was. It was the crown prince, the crown prince who had become a legend among the people.

"I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The little devil was watching from the side in amazement. This woman had been so righteous and confident when she was confronting the Chief Justice just now, but when she heard the title of His Highness, she immediately knelt down.

It seems that His Highness has a good reputation. Even the murderer respects him.

The prince said calmly, "It's because the perpetrator this time is not you. She doesn't have the perfect means to commit the crime like you do. You are afraid that she can't escape, so you want to take the blame for her, right?"

Mother Liu was shocked and pretended to be calm: "Your Highness, I don't know what you are talking about."

The prince continued, "When I told you to interrogate them separately, you panicked. You said everything you had refused to say before. Your purpose was not to let the government close the case quickly, otherwise you would not have dragged the case from the government office to the Dali Temple. You must be afraid that your timid daughter-in-law... would let the cat out of the bag during the interrogation."

Mother Liu said anxiously, "Your Highness! This is groundless. Please do not slander innocent people. I killed Liu Wu with my own hands. How many times do I have to tell you before you will believe me?!"

The prince's face wrinkled slightly at her yelling. He was not in good health to begin with, so he took a step back and said, "The two blows on Liu Wu's head, one was from you and the other was from Wang, right? You found out that Liu Wu had abused Wang and your grandson, which aroused your fear and hatred towards Liu's father, so you covered up the evidence of her murder of Liu Wu."

Mother Liu glared at him and said, "You are talking nonsense. The neighbors all know that my daughter-in-law and son are in love. Why would she be involved in murder?"

"Because it is sadism, the kind of sadism that cannot be seen, just like what Liu Wu's father did to you and your little son, right?" The prince used her own words to reveal the hidden meaning.

Although Liu's mother is Liu Wu's mother, she is also the grandmother of Wang's son. She has suffered torture from Liu's father, so when she noticed that her daughter-in-law was going to rebel against Liu Wu, she stood on the side of her daughter-in-law.

She protected Wang and also saved herself.

Tears fell from Liu's mother's eyes, but she remained firm and said, "I was the only one who struck Liu Wu on the head. Wang had nothing to do with it. She is innocent and pregnant. Please don't call her in for questioning again and again. If the child is harmed, I will file a complaint and bring trouble to all of you high-ranking officials."
