But the people around him were whispering, and he couldn't tell who had shouted it first.
The people were intimidated by his fierce appearance and instinctively made way for him.
Liu Feng and his companion finally squeezed to the front, and when they saw the incredibly familiar figure in the center of the hall, they were struck dumb.
He froze instantly, all color draining from his face.
"Miss...?" he exclaimed in surprise, his voice trembling.
The older brother also saw Chunying's pitiful appearance and his eyes widened in horror: "Sister! What's wrong with you!"
He tried to rush in regardless of the consequences, but was firmly stopped by the constables.
"Silence! No noise is permitted in the courtroom!"

Since Qin Zhaoyue was so ruthless, how could she leave her any chance to turn the tables?
At the birthday banquet, she intended to use Young Master Pei to ruin his reputation;
In court today, she will use even more ruthless methods to completely destroy everything she has.
An eye for an eye—how precise, how...ruthless!
"Oh……"
A very faint, cold laugh, filled with endless sorrow, escaped from Zheng Huiyin's tightly clenched teeth.
