At this point, the truth about Chen Boyang's crimes was almost revealed. Xia Ruhai reviewed the witness testimony but did not announce it to the court in order to prevent the Chen family from killing people to vent their anger and to protect the witnesses.
There are still many troubles in the follow-up of the case. After all, he is a marquis. Even if the marquis's mansion is not good, he still has relatives and friends who can plead for him and use their connections. In the end, the case still needs to be judged by the emperor.
But Chen Boyang couldn't leave. Xia Ruhai slammed the gavel and said, "I declare that Chen Boyang has framed the Fang family and smuggled imperial contraband. The evidence is irrefutable and his crime is unforgivable. He is imprisoned and awaits the Emperor's judgment."
Chen Boyang was shackled by the police and taken to prison, which was the treatment for a death row prisoner.
Fang Jing'an and Chen Xinyue looked at each other, both with tears of excitement in their eyes. Their great revenge was finally achieved, and Chen Boyang deserved to die.
"Adjourn."
Xia Ruhai slammed the gavel and the people dispersed, discussing Chen Boyang's cruelty with great interest, contributing a lot of gossip to the boring lives of the people in the capital.
Zhao Letong and Zhao Youxi were waiting for them nearby. Zhao Youxi didn't see that besides him and his aunt, there was also Fang Jingru's ghost running around excitedly, which was very scary.
[Madam Fang, Chen Boyang deserves his punishment. The worst punishment is the death penalty. Punishing his entire clan is a bit more difficult.]
Fang Jingru was already satisfied. As long as Chen Boyang died, she would take him to the underworld with her. There would be plenty of time to settle accounts with him on the road to the underworld.
His death was just the beginning.
Zhao Youxi was eating melon seeds and thinking to himself, who else would his aunt talk to besides him?
Mrs. Fang? The one who died?
Thinking of this, Zhao Youxi shuddered. Is there anything else in this room?
I got closer to my aunt and didn't dare to look around. I behaved very well, for fear of seeing something I shouldn't see.
Chen Xinyue and Fang Jingan came back and expressed their gratitude excitedly: "Finally, he was brought to justice. Thank you so much, Tongtong."
Zhao Letong smiled and said, "And my eldest nephew, he contributed the most."
"Well, your whole family are good people. You have helped me so much."
Fang Jingan said, "Now that you've sued Chen Boyang, there's no going back to the Chen family. You might as well change your surname to Fang, inherit the Fang family name, and completely break off all ties with the Chen family."
Chen Xinyue was also quite disgusted with the Chen family. Her eyes lit up and she asked, "Is this possible?"
Fang Jingan said confidently: "With my uncle here, if this little thing can't be handled well, wouldn't it be a waste of all my years?
But my uncle also has his own selfish motives."
"Uncle, you said that I will do what I can do."
Chen Xinyue felt sorry for Fang Jing'an. He had lived such a hard life. The palace was a cannibalistic place. It was hard to imagine how much suffering he had endured to climb to this position.
"The Fang family has no successor, which is my greatest pain. Uncle does not ask you to marry a son-in-law to continue the Fang family's incense. I only ask that you marry in the future, have more children, and adopt a son with the surname Fang so that the Fang family bloodline can continue."
Chen Xinyue scratched her head a little, "Well, I am willing to do this, but my future husband, who is wandering around somewhere, will he be happy with it?
But I promised my uncle that whoever wants to marry me must agree to this condition. Otherwise, even if Pan An is reborn, I will not marry him."
Fang Jingan was worried that her future would be difficult. "That's not the case. If you really like it, your uncle won't force you."
Chen Xinyue: "No, he can't even do this. This man is not worthy of me marrying. Uncle, you are worrying too much. It's settled."
Zhao Letong screamed frantically inwardly, "My nephew has a chance. The Zhao family doesn't have much, but they have a lot of men. Marrying a son into the family would hurt their future, so that's not an option. But giving a son to the Fang family is definitely a no-brainer."
It would be good if Sister Chen could marry in sooner rather than later. Next year, we'll have a nephew and a grandson. Wouldn't that make me a great-aunt?
"Why don't you marry later? I don't want to be a grandmother."
Zhao Letong was in a complicated and conflicted mood.
Fang Jingru's soul was already tired, and she clung to the bell to rest. Being out and about in broad daylight for such a long time was very exhausting for her.
Zhao Youxi suppressed his laughter, lowered his head to eat snacks, and did not dare to say a word.
Fang Jing'an said, "We'll talk about this later. You can stay at the Zhao family for a few days while I arrange the follow-up matters. You can move in with your uncle, change your surname to Fang, and worship the Fang family's ancestors."
"Okay, I'll wait for my uncle. I see that his eyes are blue and his face is pale. Let me take his pulse."
Fang Jing'an enjoyed her care very much. After being lonely for ten years, he finally had family. He was no longer alone in this world.
Chen Xinyue carefully felt the pulse, her face solemn as she said, "Uncle is really weak. I'll prescribe some nourishing medicine for you. Remember to take it on time."
"Okay, I will definitely take it. Just give me the prescription. There's medicine in the imperial pharmacy. Uncle can get it himself."
Then he gave her a box and left with his people.
Chen Xinyue looked down from the window and saw a handsome and upright young man with heroic appearance. He should have been a rich young man, enjoying life recklessly, but he fell to the bottom of the quagmire and was struggling. His uncle had suffered so much.
Zhao Letong sighed: "Sister Chen, don't be too sad."
The little child's clumsy comfort made Chen Xinyue feel better. "I just feel sorry for my uncle."
"Lord Fang's path is very uncertain. This is his fate, but it's not impossible to change. Once my strength improves, I can help him."
Chen Xinyue didn't take it to heart. She couldn't ask Le Tong, a child, to help her. She had to save herself no matter what.
If medical science had been more advanced in his previous life, sperm could have been extracted and used for in vitro fertilization, and my uncle would have had his own children.
However, the medical technology of this era is too backward, and Chen Xinyue is powerless.
Zhao Youping finished his work at the government office and came to reunite with them. Chen Xinyue couldn't help but thank him again. Zhao Youping felt a little embarrassed and said, "Miss Chen, you are too polite. It's my duty. Let's have a good meal later to celebrate."
"It's my treat, no one wants to snatch it from me."
"No, how can I let you girls spend money?"
Chen Xinyue raised the box and said, "My uncle gave it to me, it must be silver. Don't worry that I don't have money to spend."
Zhao Letong's eyes lit up. How much silver could be put into such a big box?
Governor Fang is very rich.
Chen Xinyue simply opened it for everyone to see. Now they were all family, so there was no need to hide it.
Colorful lights flashed by, and the dim room became a little brighter. Zhao Letong's eyes became brighter, and his saliva was about to flow.
There were not many gold leaves, gems of various colors, pearls, and silver. Governor Fang was too disdainful to give his niece heavy and worthless silver ingots. They were all light and valuable. This box was worth at least 100,000 taels of silver.
Chen Xinyue instantly became a wealthy woman.
