“Wait, Lord Liang, 1 wish to present my defense.” Su Yingxue stepped towards Wu Ruofei.
Liang Jin maintained a stern expression, saying, “Go on.”
“When I witnessed Wu Ruofei killing Wu Jinyan, I did engage in a confrontation with her, but she was not injured to this extent. It might be better to let her speak about the situation at that time.” Su Yingxue raised an eyebrow and glanced at Wu Ruofei.
Wu Ruofei opened her mouth and began speaking in an incomprehensible foreign language.
Liang Jin noticed the issue and questioned, “What is happening? Wu Ruofei, speak clearly!”
Wu Ruofei struggled to open her mouth. She managed to produce breath but couldn’t utter anything understandable.
Liang Jin promptly called for a doctor.
Madam Wu hurriedly explained, “Lord Liang, the doctor said that Ruofei suffered a significant emotional shock, affecting her ability to speak properly. On the day her limbs were broken, she was in excruciating pain. She is a young girl who has been traumatized by her injuries, which has led to her current state. As parents, we wish we could take her place. Our poor daughter is truly innocent…”
As Madam Wu spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.
A mother who loved her children but felt powerless, that’s what she looked like.
Many of the commoners outside the courtroom were parents themselves. Seeing Madam Wu’s distress, they expressed their sympathy.
“This is too much! How could she be so brutal!”
“Absolutely! Which parent doesn’t dote on their daughter? Look at those injuries…”
“Madam Wu’s daughter is so pitiable…”
Hearing these comments, Su Yingxue couldn’t help but think that Madam Wu’s ruthlessness was proving to be quite effective.
Liang Jin also felt a deep sense of regret, and his gaze toward Su Yingxue grew even more somber.contemporary romance
Before he could raise his gavel, Su Yingxue spoke up, “Lord Liang, I am a doctor. I can immediately cure Miss Wu and enable her to speak.”
Liang Jin recalled this possibility and agreed, “Very well, go ahead. Having Miss Wu provide her testimony in person would be ideal.”
With permission granted, Su Yingxue was about to attend to Wu Ruofei when Lord Wu suddenly lunged forward, exclaiming, “Stop! I will not allow you to touch my daughter! You shall not harm her again!”
A hint of guilt flickered in his eyes, revealing his complicity with Madam Wu in their actions against Wu Ruofei.
Su Yingxue chuckled and said, “Lord Wu, are you attempting to challenge Lord Liang? We are all in the courtroom of the Capital Prefecture. Do you truly believe that I would dare to harm Miss Wu in Lord Liang’s presence? Lord Liang has always been fair and just, and he would never shield me.”
Su Yingxue’s words were directed toward Liang Jin.
Upon hearing this, Liang Jin’s anger flared, and he retorted, “Wu Hongtao, step back! I am well aware of Su Yingxue’s medical skills. Should she dare to harm Wu Ruofei publicly, I will not let her escape justice!”
“Lord Liang, this Su Yingxue is cunning and treacherous. Her methods are devious, she…”
“Are you questioning my judgment?” Liang Jin’s tone turned icy.
Wu Hongtao felt as if he had bitten into a bitter gourd. Unable to voice his bitterness, he swallowed it down forcefully.
Madam Wu was equally distressed. She had administered medicine to Wu Ruofei, temporarily impairing her ability to speak. She aimed to prevent Wu Ruofei from potentially causing further trouble with her words. If Su Yingxue were to cure her…
“Su Yingxue!” Madam Wu ground her teeth, aching to tear her to pieces on the spot.
Su Yingxue retrieved a silver needle, piercing it into the back of Wu Ruofei’s neck. She delivered a firm slap to Wu Ruofei’s back and then opened her mouth. After a short while, Wu Ruofei began to vomit..
