“Bai, the registrar, loved beautiful women, but he was afraid of his wife. After your mother became pregnant, he abandoned her, leaving you and your mother to live in poverty!”
"You replaced Miss Bao partly for a better life, and partly for revenge!"
Silence, utter silence.
Only the sound of Ye Cunsi putting pen to paper could be heard continuously and faintly.
Countless eyes were fixed on the old woman.
At that moment, the old lady felt her heart clench, as if an invisible hand was gripping her heart, and that hand was tightening, tightening and tightening.
The air entering her chest cavity was getting less and less, and she was about to run out of breath.
Granny Wang tried to calm her down: "Madam, the eldest young lady has no evidence for what she's saying; it's just her wild speculation. Please don't let her upset you!"
These words gave the old lady strength and restored some clarity to her mind.
Yes, up until now, Ye Qingxue has only been talking and has not produced any evidence.
Without evidence, Ye Qingxue is fabricating and framing someone.
"Good, good..." The old lady gradually relaxed, and she suddenly burst into laughter: "As expected of my good granddaughter, she is so clever and quick-witted, and tells such a good story!"
"To see a skeleton and you can concoct such a wonderful story, even I, your grandmother, have to applaud you!"
Ye Qingxue's lips curved into a cool smile: "How could it be a story? Grandma Bao, I have evidence and witnesses!"
The old woman's smile vanished, and she glared at her.
I don't believe Ye Qingxue can produce any evidence.
After killing Miss Bao, she dismissed the old women and maids who had come with Miss Bao as part of her dowry, using various excuses.
Even the old Master Ye couldn't tell the difference between her and Miss Bao back then, so how could anyone else tell them apart?
As if remembering something, the old lady suddenly startled, "Mother You?"
This morning, Madam You was invited to Guanju Courtyard by Ye Qingxue, but she hasn't shown up yet!
She thought to herself that it didn't matter if Madam You was taken to Guanju Courtyard; she would be burned to death with Ye Qingxue, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
But now, now...
The old lady felt a deep fear, but Ye Qingxue did not "disappoint" her. She clapped her hands, and Tan Shan led You's mother over from a distance.
Upon seeing Mrs. You, the old lady's composure almost crumbled, leaving only a last shred of hope as she struggled to hold on.
Madam You walked over to Ye Qingxue and said to the old lady, "My young lady was born with seven small moles on her left foot, which did not affect her walking. Back then, my wife was a little worried, so she invited a Taoist priest to take a look. The Taoist priest said that my young lady was destined for great wealth and honor, so those seven moles were never removed."
Although Mrs. You is getting on in years, her eyes are still clear.
She said, "If the old lady can prove that she also has seven moles on the sole of her left foot, then she can prove that you are my young lady; otherwise, you are an imposter."
The old lady subconsciously pulled her left foot back.
Everyone was paying attention to her, so her small action came into everyone's view.
Ye Qingxue said, "What a coincidence! I also have seven small moles on my left foot. It turns out I inherited them from my grandmother!"
She helped Qiu Shen, who was beside her, take off her shoes and socks, and with her feet facing up, seven small moles were clearly visible on them.
The men instinctively avoided eye contact, but the women all saw it.
Xia Lu squatted down and helped Ye Qingxue put on her shoes and socks. Ye Qingxue stood up again and said, "Dongbai, go up and take off Grandma Bao's shoes and socks. Let us see if there are seven moles on the sole of her left foot!"
“If she is guilty, I, Ye Qingxue, will kneel down to admit my mistake and apologize, and accept all punishment. If she is not guilty, then she is not the real Madam Bao!”
Ye Qingxue's voice was deep and menacing.
Dong Bai immediately moved closer to the old lady, who kept backing away. Then she turned around and tried to run away, but Tan Shan had already stood behind her, blocking her way.
Prince Yu called out, "Guards! Hold the old lady down, take off her shoes and socks, and check what's going on!"
