Chapter 244: The truth is revealed, witnesses testify
People always sympathize with the weak, and Shen Xiangyue obviously understood this. She kept a low profile, pretending to be weak, pitiful and helpless. As for Shen Xiangwan, even when facing County Magistrate Yang and others, her attitude was extremely strong, and she did not look like a victim at all. The old foxes in the hall were fine, but the onlookers could not tell the truth from the false, and some people actually felt unfair for Shen Xiangyue.

"Clap clap clap!"

Facing the condemning gazes of some people, Shen Xiangwan not only did not feel guilty or afraid, but instead curled his lips and clapped his hands: "Shen Xiangyue, from the past to now, I have admired your ability to confuse right and wrong. You are so good at pretending to be weak and pitiful, but this world does not mean that you are right just because you are weak.

Yes, we were indeed taken away by mistake. You became the daughter of the prime minister's family in my place, while I could only become a country girl. You were doted on in the prime minister's family, but I was despised and tortured by your relatives. Even after I returned to the prime minister's family, those so-called blood relatives cared more about you, the fake daughter.

I should really resent you, but are you worthy of being the object of my resentment? Shen Xiangyue, you think too highly of yourself. "

Until now, Shen Xiangwan's attitude is still strong. If she really regards Shen Xiangyue as an opponent, she would have died countless times. How could she continue to jump around?
"you···"

"Also, please speak clearly when you speak. Don't be vague and fuzzy and deliberately mislead others. I have nothing to do with you ending up in a brothel. The former owner and madam of Tianxianglou happen to be here too. Why don't we ask who sold you to the brothel?"

Just as Shen Xiangyue was about to explain herself, Shen Xiangwan interrupted her again and directly shifted her attention to Hou Wanshan and others, not giving her a chance to speak at all.

"I···"

"Bump!"

Under the gazes of everyone inside and outside the court, Hou Wanshan and the others were so scared that their legs were shaking, and they sat down on the ground one after another: "Sir, sir, I dare not hide it. It was a man in his twenties who sold Shen Xiangyue to us. He said he was Shen Xiangyue's brother, and that he sold her because his family couldn't make ends meet. She was sold with another woman, her name was Xie Yunyun, and she was Shen Xiangyue's sister-in-law."

"Yes, yes, sir. We were also afraid of buying someone we shouldn't have bought, so we specially asked someone to check. It turned out that the one who sold them was indeed her brother. I think his name was Shen Xiangyang."

Hou Wanshan and the madam had already been frightened by the scene in the hall. There was no need for special questioning. They just poured out everything they knew like pouring beans.

"So her being sold to a brothel had nothing to do with them?"

"That's right, ugh, that little bitch is so good at pretending, I almost got fooled by her!"

"Isn't this woman too scary? Not only did she instigate others to commit murder, but she even dared to confuse right and wrong in court and frame the victim."

"You stinky bitch, you are so shameless..."

No matter how stupid the onlookers were, they knew they had been fooled when they heard this, and they became so angry that they started cursing. How much they sympathized with her before, how much they hated her now.

"No, that's not it, no..."

Seeing herself becoming the target of public criticism once again, Shen Xiangyue repeatedly waved her hands to deny it, her face and eyes filled with panic and helplessness, but no one at the scene sympathized with her anymore. No, to be precise, the more weak, pitiful and helpless she acted, the angrier everyone became, and they wanted to rush in and skin her alive.

"Sir, please allow me to call two other witnesses."

Not wanting to bother with her anymore, Shen Xiangwan turned to Xie Yanzhi and bowed. This farce was almost over.

"Yes!" "Thank you, sir."

After getting his approval, Shen Xiangwan turned around and looked outside the hall. Not long after, the crowd made way for them again, and several guards came in with two women. One of them was half-naked, skinny, with a large burn on her face, and the other was dressed like a maid, trembling with every step she took, as if she was very scared.

"You, you..."

Seeing them, Shen Xiangyue's eyes widened in horror, and her hands trembled uncontrollably as she pointed at them. How could they be here? What on earth did Shen Xiangwan want to do?
"See my lord."

The woman with burns on her face gave her a sinister smile and knelt in the hall with her maid.

"What are your names? Can you really prove that Shen Xiangyue did instigate Qin Zhongtang to kill someone?"

His eyes fell on them, Xie Yanzhi asked majestically.

"Yes sir."

Raising her head, the woman said fearlessly, "My last name is Xie Yunyun. I was once Shen Xiangyue's second sister-in-law. I can prove that Shen Xiangyue is indeed as poisonous as a scorpion. She is the one who caused me to become like this. In addition, whenever she is unhappy, she will take it out on the maids who serve her, or the girls she doesn't like. So far, she has killed more than a dozen people. The bodies of those people are all buried in the backyard of Tianxiang Tower. If you don't believe me, you can send people to dig them up. Some time ago, Tianxiang Tower was robbed, and I saw with my own eyes that she was alone in a room with a man naked. She also called that man Brother Qin. Xiao Cui can testify that she saw it too."

"Yes, yes, sir, I saw it too."

As soon as Xie Yunyun finished speaking, Xiao Cui, who was kneeling beside her, hurriedly agreed with her stutteringly. She was the one who served Shen Xiangyue, and knew much more than the others. Shen Xiangyue seemed delicate and beautiful on the surface, but in fact she was crueler than a poisonous snake. If someone hadn't told her that as long as she stood up and testified against Shen Xiangyue, she could be freed from slavery, she would not dare to appear here.

"No, you are talking nonsense. I don't even know any Qin Zhongtang. You are all hired by Shen Xiangwan to frame me."

Seeing that all her secrets had been exposed, Shen Xiangyue yelled at them frantically. Just as she was about to rush up and fight with them, two soldiers pressed down on her shoulders, one on the left and one on the right, forcing her to be completely unable to move.

"Whether it is a false accusation or not, we will know once we ask."

Looking at her coldly, Xie Yanzhi said in a deep voice: "You all said you saw the man she called Brother Qin, then take a look, is there the man you mentioned in the hall?"

"Yes."

Hearing this, the two of them raised their heads cautiously, looking at everyone present one by one, and finally fixed their eyes on Qin Zhongtang: "It's him!"

They had just arrived in the court, so logically they should not have known Qin Zhongtang, but they both pointed him out. The only explanation was that they had really seen him somewhere other than the court.

It's over, completely over!
Seeing this, Shen Xiangyue collapsed to the ground, as if all the energy in his body had been drained away, and the only thing in his mind was the word "over".
