Chapter 157 Court (Part )

Jiang Li said expressionlessly, "After my mother became pregnant, Madam Jiang and Old Madam Jiang deliberately tortured her, forcing her to take care of the old lady while she was pregnant, staying up all night without sleep. If she did something wrong, they would punish her by making her kneel, which led to my mother's premature birth."

"Nonsense!" Old Madam Jiang cried out, "That's not true!"

Jiang Xiuyuan's eyes turned red when he heard this. He never expected that while he was busy with work and had no time to take care of Fang Yi, his mother and Yu would torture her like this!

Jiang Li said: "I have a witness. Please ask Master Zhu to call the witness."

Zhu Mingyuan nodded in agreement.

Aunt Lian walked into the court, knelt down, and cried, "I am Zhang Xiaolian, Miss Fang's personal maid. I can testify that my young lady was killed by that evil-hearted Yu!"

"Shameless and mean slave, you are slandering me!"

Yu couldn't hold back any longer, she stood up suddenly and pointed at Aunt Lian, "This bitch is a runaway slave from our family, how can her words serve as evidence?"

"Mrs. Jiang, you are wrong."

Xie Changan said slowly, "I have already redeemed Aunt Lian, and Marquis Jing'an has also returned the indenture to Aunt Lian. Now she is a good citizen."

Yu was stunned. Didn't she banish this bitch to the laundry room? When did she redeem her?

Zhu Mingyuan said: "Zhang, tell me everything you know."

"Yes!"

Aunt Lian's eyes were filled with tears. "My young lady was pregnant, but Madam Jiang and Old Madam Jiang tortured her in every way, causing her to give birth to twins prematurely. Only the girl survived, and the young master unfortunately died in the womb..."

Jiang Li was shocked. She had a younger brother?

She stared at Yu with hatred. It turned out that there were not two lives, but three!

"The young lady lost half her life after giving birth, and Yu found a so-called high monk from somewhere, who said that the girl the young lady gave birth to would be unlucky, would bring bad luck to her father and mother, and would be incompatible with the old lady's horoscope!"

"Yu ordered the infant girl to be sent to the countryside and demoted her to a concubine, causing her to die of depression!"

Aunt Lian was in tears.

Yu retorted, "What did I do wrong? Fang was pregnant with twins, so it's normal for her to have a premature birth. What does it have to do with me if the fetuses died in the womb?"

"The daughter born to Fang is indeed unlucky. As soon as she was born, she made the old lady sick in bed. Isn't this true?"

Zhu Mingyuan glanced at the "unlucky" Princess Fuhui and Marquis Jing'an, and couldn't help but feel a headache. Isn't this stupid woman Yu seeking death?

"Bold and shrewd woman!"

Liao Wuyong slammed the table and said, "The late emperor personally bestowed the title 'Fuhui' upon the princess, and you actually said that she is unlucky?"

Yu was so frightened that she trembled and fell to her knees on the ground: "It's unfair, I didn't say that, it was that monk who said that!"

Zhu Mingyuan asked: "Who is that eminent monk?"

Yu stammered, "It was the Dajue Zen Master from the Yongzuo Temple who came here on a journey and discovered that there was a yin energy growing in the mansion. After the Zen Master investigated, he confirmed that the yin energy came from the newly born... Marquis."

Zhu Mingyuan asked in confusion: "Yongzuo Temple? Is there such a great Zen master in Yongzuo Temple?"

Yongzuo Temple is one of the most popular temples in Da Chu. If the master of Yongzuo Temple said so...

Xie Changan smiled slightly: "I also have a few witnesses, Lord Zhu can summon them to the court for questioning."

Zhu Mingyuan said: "Call the witness to the court."

Two Jinyiwei escorted the three people to the courtroom. When Yu saw them, she was terrified and collapsed to the ground with a pale face.

It's been more than ten years, how can they still find these people? !

How could she know that when Xie Changan first met Jiang Li, he had already conducted a comprehensive investigation of the Jiang Mansion and had long discovered that Fang's death was suspicious.

With the means of the Eastern Depot, as long as they were determined to investigate, they would quickly catch these three people by following the clues.

These three people, one is a fat bald man with big ears, one is a fifty-year-old woman, and the other is a skinny old man with a goatee.

Madam Jiang was surprised: "Master? Midwife Li? Doctor Liu?"

Xie Changan smiled and said, "It seems that grandma has recognized it."

"These three are the Great Awakening Zen Master mentioned by Yu, the midwife Li who delivered my mother-in-law, and the doctor Liu who treated my grandmother."

"Oh, by the way, my mother-in-law was weak after giving birth, and it was Dr. Liu who treated her."

When Zhu Mingyuan heard this, what else was there that he didn't understand?

He slammed the gavel and shouted, "Who is this person in the hall? Tell the truth now!"

The "Dajue Zen Master" said tremblingly: "My surname is Qian, my name is Huaitong. I am from Wanping County..."

Zhu Mingyuan's face changed: "How dare you pretend to be a high monk from Yongzuo Temple!"

Qian Huaitong trembled and said, "It was... it was Madam Jiang. She gave me fifty taels of silver and asked me to pretend to be a monk..."

"Nonsense!" Yu hissed, "I don't even know this person!"

Qian Huaitong said tremblingly: "Those words were also... taught to me by Madam Jiang..."

Jiang Li sneered: "Then, this midwife Li must have done something while my mother was giving birth, right?"

"And this Doctor Liu is the culprit who made my grandmother sick and my mother die of illness!"

Midwife Li and Doctor Liu kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Excellency, it was Madam Jiang who ordered us to do this..."

These three people had already been severely tortured by the Jinyiwei, so they told everything they knew.

Midwife Li testified that Madam Jiang asked her to tamper with Fang Yi's labor, causing a difficult delivery and intending to kill the fetus in her womb.

Unexpectedly, one of them survived in the end, and Mrs. Jiang deducted half of her salary for this.

Doctor Liu also testified that Madam Jiang asked him to wait until Fang Yi gave birth, and then she tampered with Madam Jiang's medicine to cause symptoms of acute illness.

He also added drugs to Fang Yi's medicine to cause qi deficiency and blood stasis.

Fang Yi was already in poor health and depressed, and soon he ran out of energy and passed away suddenly.

At that time, Aunt Lian was entrusted by Fang Yi to carry the newborn Jiang Li to the country farm. Now she learned about the inside story and couldn't help crying to the ground.

Jiang Xiuyuan also covered his face and cried bitterly.

Jiang Li stared at him with red eyes. What had he been doing so far?

If he had paid more attention to her, Fang Yi would not have died at such a young age.

Xie Changan held her hand soothingly.

Yu was still resisting: "This is a slander! I didn't do it!"

Madam Jiang felt guilty and pretended to be furious: "Yu, you vicious woman! How dare you plot against me?"

She burst into tears, "What a pity for my little grandsons, a perfect pair of twins..."

In fact, how could she not know about Yu's tricks?

She was also a woman in the inner chamber, so even if she didn't know about these secret methods at the time, she would realize them later.

But when Yu took over Fang Yi and the Fang family's huge wealth, Madam Jiang was blinded by the money and pretended not to know, enjoying it with peace of mind.

There was a sound of crying and wailing in the court.

"Silence, silence!" Zhu Mingyuan slammed the gavel repeatedly.

Only then did everyone stop crying.

"Yu, do you have anything else to say?" Zhu Mingyuan asked sternly.

Yu refused to admit it, "These people were sent by the Jinyiwei. Under torture, they naturally said whatever they were told to say! Words are not enough, where is the evidence?"

Yu Gongming also left his seat and spoke up for Yu: "My sister has always been virtuous and kind, how could she do such a heinous thing?"

Xie Changan sneered: "Let me teach you a lesson about the methods of the Jinyiwei! Come here!"
