Chapter 337 Evidence
"You really didn't receive my letter?"
Feng Yinyin showed hesitation. Seeing her wavering, Su Yang quickly said, "Yes, I'm sincere to you, Yinyin. After I passed the imperial examination, I was looking forward to marrying you in style. If I knew something happened at home, how could I remain indifferent?"
Su Yang's words were sincere, making himself look affectionate.
Feng Yinyin was disgusted by his expression and lowered her eyes slightly to avoid him seeing the disgust in her eyes. "But after I came to Hanjing, I found out that after Brother Su Yang passed the imperial examination, he went out and socialized every day. He came to the general's mansion today to get close to the Xiao family and become their son-in-law. If we hadn't met by chance, Brother Su Yang would probably have forgotten me long ago."
"This is sheer nonsense!"
Su Yang raised his voice, speaking righteously, "Yinyin, when my father passed away, it was my grandfather and uncle who took my mother and me in. It was you who comforted and strengthened me when I was most depressed and self-deprecating. Over the years, my food, clothing, and the expenses for my trip to Beijing for the imperial examination were all provided by my uncle. It's only logical that I will love Yinyin for the rest of my life. If I can't even do this, am I still human?"
Of course you are not human!
You knew very well that the Feng family had been very kind to you, yet you still colluded with outsiders, causing the Feng family to be destroyed, and then spent the Feng family's money with peace of mind to pave the way for yourself.
People like you should go to the eighteenth level of hell and suffer the punishment of having your heart gouged out and fried in oil every day.
Hatred burned her internal organs, and Feng Yinyin's voice trembled uncontrollably. "I'm glad that Brother Su Yang remembers this, but after all, we haven't seen each other for over a year. I'm not sure if what you just said was true or just a lie."
Su Yang immediately asked, "How can Yin Yin believe it?"
"Didn't Brother Su Yang tattoo my small words on his chest before? If the small words are still there, I will believe you."
"Of course I do, but this is the general's residence, and people may come at any time. It's not convenient for me to take off my clothes to show you."
Su Yang answered without hesitation, secretly cursing Feng Yinyin for being too nosy.
After confirming that the Feng family was overthrown, he immediately removed the words on his chest. How could it remain until now?
Feng Yinyin certainly couldn't be fooled by Su Yang. She reached out to tug at Su Yang's collar and said, "No one will come now. I just need to take a look. It will be quick."
Su Yang dodged subconsciously, and Feng Yinyin scratched his face with a claw.
Su Yang's face was scratched, and he immediately became angry. He couldn't help but push Feng Yinyin away: "Enough! I told you that it's not possible now. Don't be so unreasonable. Whose family are you working for now? I'll go back and prepare the money to redeem you. We can talk about other things later."
With bruises on his face and being pestered by Feng Yinyin, Su Yang was too embarrassed to hang around the women's seats anymore and was about to leave. However, when he turned around, he found Chunxi coming over with Princess Hengyang, Xiao Qinghe and a group of ladies from aristocratic families.
Su Yang's eyelids suddenly twitched wildly and he felt very anxious.
He was desperately trying to come up with a reason when Feng Yinyin rushed forward and plodded to her knees before Princess Hengyang. "This year's Jinshi, Su Yang, robbed me of my family's wealth and colluded with criminals to kill my grandfather, father, and brother. My mother also died while serving in the army. I beg Your Highness to help me!"
Su Yang thought Feng Yinyin had been coaxed into submission, but he didn't expect her to suddenly come forward and sue him.
His face changed slightly, and he immediately denied it. "Princess, please understand. This woman has no sense of shame and deliberately pestered me. When I rejected her, she became angry and slandered me. I have never done anything against the law."
As soon as Su Yang finished speaking, Princess Hengyang's guard stepped forward and kicked him in the knee: "How dare you refuse to kneel before Her Highness the Princess."
Chunxi was standing next to Princess Hengyang. Su Yang felt that Chunxi had also been affected by his kneeling. He felt suffocated and could not help but argue: "Your Highness, I am a Jinshi this year. According to the law..."
Someone brought over a grand chair, and Princess Hengyang sat down. She spoke softly, "His Majesty recently conferred upon me the title of Grand Princess Yu'an. Officials below the fifth rank must bow and greet me when they see me. You're just a mere Jinshi. How can you have the guts to challenge me?"
Su Yang's expression froze.
Although he had developed a lot of connections over the past year, he didn't know much about the circle of power and wealth. After just chatting with them, he only knew that Princess Hengyang liked to look at handsome men, behaved unruly, and was not an ordinary woman. He didn't know that Princess Hengyang had such a high status.
Feeling the pressure from the emperor and his nobles, Su Yang quickly admitted his mistake: "I was not aware of this matter and offended the princess. I beg for forgiveness."
Su Yang had already knelt. Princess Hengyang didn't bother arguing with him about these unimportant matters. She glanced at Feng Yinyin and asked, "This girl is accusing you of murdering her entire family and seizing their property. Do you plead guilty?"
"Common people..."
Su Yang was about to deny it, but Princess Hengyang spoke up first, "I have a bad temper and can't stand lies. You'd better think carefully before answering. I and all the ladies just heard how deeply you love this girl."
Su Yang suddenly looked up at Chunxi.
Feng Yinyin would not suddenly appear in Hanjing, and Princess Hengyang and these ladies from aristocratic families should not appear here quietly to hear the conversation between him and Feng Yinyin.
It was those two bitches Cao Chunxi and Feng Yinyin who set up a trap to harm him!
Su Yang finally understood his current situation. He knew he could not deny it, and he was even more angry at Chunxi for harming him like this.
If he is not having a good life, then no one else can have a good life!
Thinking of this, Su Yang's eyes flashed with cruelty. He went straight to the point and shouted, "Your Highness, Cao Chunxi and I were engaged as children a long time ago. Cao Chunxi broke the engagement and married someone else first. Now she has teamed up with others to frame me and wants to kill me. Please, Your Highness, help me!"
After Su Yang finished speaking, he knocked his head to the ground.
The onlookers were surprised to find such a connection between the two. Princess Hengyang even exchanged a look of surprise with Chunxi. Chunxi didn't deny it and said calmly, "Princess, my father did arrange a marriage for me when I was a child, but he passed away unexpectedly. My mother couldn't accept the blow and called off the engagement a long time ago."
"You're talking nonsense. I have evidence here!" Su Yang said as he took out the jade pendant. "This is the token of trust between the two families. There's a character 'Cao' engraved on it."
In order to make it easier for others to see, Su Yang specifically asked the craftsman in the antique shop to carve the word "Cao" in a large size.
With the token in hand, his words naturally gained a bit of credibility. Chunxi remained calm and said calmly, "Coincidentally, I also have a witness who can prove that this jade pendant was bought by Master Su not long ago. Even the words on it were recently engraved by someone."
After Chunxi finished speaking, before she could call a witness, Feng Yinyin couldn't hold back any longer and pounced on Su Yang, scratching and biting him. "You beast! Bastard! You knew you were engaged, yet you deliberately approached me and deceived me. I'm going to kill you!"
