Chapter 124 - 124: Reversal



Chu Yihan asked Su Yingxue, “Do you want to speak to him alone?”

Su Yingxue nodded, her bright eyes radiating a lovable charm.

Chu Yihan promptly escorted Liang Jin out.

Wu Jinyan and the doctor also tactfully exited the room.

Liang Jin remained concerned. “Your Highness, this isn’t advisable! It goes against the protocol! What if Su Yingxue…”

“My word is the protocol!”

Inside the room, Su Yingxue burst into laughter upon hearing Chu Yihan’s words.

Indeed, he was a truly domineering Your Highness!

She approached the bedside, administering a few needles to Wu Hongtao. Then, she gave Wu Hongtao a pill and he woke up.

Seeing her by his bedside, Wu Hongtao would have preferred to faint once again!

He shut his eyes and let out a disdainful snort, “Don’t think that saving me will make me spare you, Su Yingxue. Don’t even dream of evading your culpability.” “Sigh, Lord Wu, whether I evade culpability or not is another matter. Why don’t you consider how you can absolve yourself of guilt?”

Su Yingxue playfully slapped the account book onto Wu Hongtao’s face.

Wu Hongtao opened the account book, gritting his teeth with anger. “Su Yingxue, you dare…”

Before he could finish, he read the words on the account book and his heart tightened instantly, his face turning pale. “This… How…?”

How did this end up in her hands!?

How did she know?!

Wu Hongtao felt like the sky was crashing down on him.

Upon waking, Liang Jin even examined Wu Hongtao’s condition before resuming the trial.

Wu Hongtao’s complexion was so poor, he seemed like a tottering kite that could collapse at any moment.

Liang Jin couldn’t help but worry. “Lord Wu, can you manage to attend the trial?”

Wu Hongtao stuttered, “I…”

He wanted to say that he couldn’t go through with it. Was it important for him to attend the court now?

However, with Su Yingxue standing in the courtroom, smiling at him, Wu Hongtao nearly choked himself.

He exhaled heavily. “Proceed… to the courtroom! I… 1’11 admit my wrongdoing!”

Liang Jin’s mind was filled with doubts.

As the court session resumed, Wu Ruofei was carried away, and Madam Wu was called in as a witness.

In response to the testimonies of Wu Jinyan and the elderly maid, Madam Wu also led her servants into the courtroom. “Lord Liang, Wu Jinyan openly assaulted her biological father, which is a display of unfilial behavior! Her mother was a courtesan, and I, as the mistress of the house, have never looked down upon her. I treated her with the utmost respect and even granted her the status of a concubine. However, her actions are beyond what the Minister’s Estate can tolerate.”

“While she was once dissatisfied with the treatment she received at the Minister’s Estate, my expenditures as the mistress might not even exceed hers. Thus, this situation arose. After her untimely demise, I treated her daughter, Jinyan, as my own. Yet, despite all this, she still managed to cause trouble. Jinyan was dissatisfied with me, the mistress, and even conspired with outsiders… It’s truly heartbreaking!”

With Madam Wu’s superb acting skills, she cried whenever she wanted in the hall. Wu Jinyan was so angry that her face turned red and her hands clenched into fists.

Su Yingxue comforted her by patting her hand, saying, “Sister, don’t be anxious.”

Upon hearing her mother being insulted, Wu Jinyan felt a surge of indignation. After Su Yingxue’s reassuring words, she suddenly calmed down. “Did you prepare for this?”

Su Yingxue nodded. “Yes, Sister, Don’t worry.”

Wu Jinyan and Su Yingxue stood together in the courtroom, listening to Madam Wu’s tearful account. Meanwhile, Liang Jin contemplated how to make a fair judgment.

“Smack!”

Suddenly, the crisp sound of a slap echoed through the air.

Liang Jin was momentarily stunned.

Wu Jinyan could hardly believe it either.

But the most stinging blow was felt by Madam Wu..
