Chapter 118 Tomorrow
Wen Ling looked at the little maid kneeling on the ground and shivering, and soon understood clearly what had happened to her in the past.
The little maid did not wait for Wen Ling's cold questioning voice, but waited for a very calm question: "I can give you a chance now. If you tell the truth, I can guarantee that your grandma is safe and sound, and I will also pay for your grandma's medical treatment.
But if you say nothing and keep your mouth shut for your master, then you should think clearly whether your master is someone you can trust.
What she did to you is not worth risking your life for. ”
The little maid suddenly looked up at Wen Ling, her lips trembling slightly and her eyes full of disbelief.
Her shocked look seemed to be asking, how do you know about my grandma?
Wen Yao was standing outside, extremely anxious. She wanted to threaten her personal maid, saying that if she dared to tell anyone, she would be doomed. She would kill her grandmother directly. After all, no one knew where her grandmother was except her. It was simply nonsense for others to want to rescue her grandmother.
But her mouth was sealed, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't make a sound.
She wanted to rush in and slap the little maid to warn and intimidate her.
But before she could rush in, she was stopped by the eldest princess's men.
Others might not dare to touch Wen Yao because she is the sweetheart of the King of Qi, but the eldest princess is not afraid.
For Wen Ling, even if the King of Qi was in front of her now, he would have to endure two big fights.
The princess' voice was not loud, but it was full of intimidation: "Come here, control the second young lady of the Wen family and don't let her disturb the Dali Temple's impartial handling of the case."
Wen Yao was pinned down like this, completely unable to move.
The little maid heard the noise outside and turned around, just in time to meet Wen Yao's vicious eyes that looked as if she wanted to eat her alive.
The little maidservant trembled with fear.
Her mind quickly flashed back to all the abuse she had suffered since she had been with Wen Yao. It was not a life for a human being at all.
Thinking of Wen Yao's cannibalistic gaze outside, she was afraid that even if she didn't say anything now, she would be beaten up after returning home to vent her anger, and there was even a possibility that she would be killed to silence her...
Thinking of this, the little maidservant no longer hesitated, she kowtowed and knelt down: "This servant said, this servant said everything, I just hope that the princess can keep her promise and really save this servant's grandmother!"
Wen Ling nodded: "Don't worry, I have principles and bottom lines. I always keep my word and never do anything that goes against my promise, otherwise I'm afraid of retribution."
After saying that, he added very seriously: "After all, evil will be punished, and good will be rewarded. If you believe me, the retribution of some people will come soon."
The little maid inexplicably felt that Wen Ling was reliable and that what she said was convincing.
She knelt on the ground and said, "My lady asked me to do this. She asked me to worship a wooden statue and make a wish that no one would recognize me when I help her next time. She also cut the blood from my fingertips.
Later, the young lady gave me money to bribe the palace maids and the steward, and asked me to pretend to be a palace maid delivering water, sneak into the tent of the prince, and steal a sachet from a maid.
It was the young lady who asked me to come here this morning, and asked me to stab the maid to death under the pretext of giving her money, and put the stolen sachet in her hand to frame the Princess Chen..."
The Dali Temple's brows furrowed even deeper; the smooth investigation of the case seemed a little unreal to him.
He tried to find suspicious points in it: "Then why did you give silver to the deceased?"
The little maidservant was ready to tell everything at this time, she didn't hide anything: "Because yesterday this little maid listened to the young lady's instructions and deliberately touched Princess Chen, trying to force Princess Chen to become someone who deliberately embarrasses servants, in order to destroy Princess Chen's reputation.
This little palace maid used to work in the Wen family. After she got married and left the house, I don't know why she returned to the palace. I met her by chance yesterday, and she was arranged by the young lady.
The lady promised her that if she did so, she would give her one hundred taels of silver. ”
There was an uproar outside the tent. No one could have imagined that this little palace maid had done it on purpose yesterday. The second young lady of the Wen family really did everything she could to destroy the reputation of Princess Chen.
The Dali Temple Minister was able to reason on his own at this time: "So, the murder of this little palace maid can be blamed on Princess Chen. She killed her because she hated this palace maid who ruined her reputation."
"Yes, sir, that's what the young lady said before she ordered me to kill someone." The little maid knelt on the ground without raising her head.
The Dali Temple official asked again: "This is all your one-sided statement. Where is the evidence? How can I believe what you said? What if you were bribed by Princess Chen just to frame the second daughter of the Wen family?"
The little maid looked up in shock and said, "My lord, I am a servant born in the farm of Madam Wen's family. My grandfather and father both work on the farm of the young lady's mother. If I had not been desperate and the second young lady was really overdoing it, why would I take such a risk?
My family members have all passed away in accidents. Now only my elderly grandmother has been taken away by the Madam to threaten me to work wholeheartedly for the Second Young Lady.
If the Second Young Lady had not treated me like a human being and abused me, and if I had not been extremely disappointed in her and had nowhere else to turn, how could I have said such words?
This servant has never had any contact with Princess Chen, so please understand, sir! ”
Wen Ling had some doubts about the Dali Temple Chief Justice, but she had not had time to carefully look through his memories.
Even without looking through her memories, she was basically certain that the Dali Temple Chief Justice's stance seemed to be very problematic, otherwise his butt wouldn't be so crooked.
The princess could no longer bear it, and she asked directly: "Master Dali Temple, this is probably not right. The physical evidence is in front of us, and their confessions are all consistent. On the contrary, your speculation is all fabricated out of thin air, without any evidence at all.
Is this the level of judgment of the Dali Temple Minister? ”
The Dali Temple official was sweating on his forehead, but he still insisted: "I am just making a reasonable guess. I cannot rule out the possibility that what I said is true. We cannot just wrongly accuse anyone."
Wen Ling said directly: "Since you said that it was all your guess, then please do the same as me and produce evidence to prove that I instigated the Second Miss's personal maid to slander the Second Miss. Otherwise, this is just your guess. Do you rely on guesses to judge the case?"
At this time, Wen Yao's personal maid suddenly raised her head and said, "I remember now. The black cloak that I wore when I gave silver and committed the crime was made of the silk cloth that the King of Qi gave to the Second Miss. It was unique. I don't have a black cloak. It was given to me by the Second Miss.
The black cloak was spattered with blood, and I hid it,
As long as we find that cloak, we can prove that this matter has nothing to do with Princess Chen! ”
