Taking the blame for the fake daughter: After being released from prison, she went on a killing spre

When Lord Zhao saw Xu Handang come in, he immediately stood up and gave up his seat, allowing him to preside over the case.

The Grand Censor had the power to investigate and impeach all officials, and he was also the head of the Censors, so naturally he was in charge of this case.

Xiao Nanchuan didn't expect that even the Imperial Censor would be alarmed. As a result, he couldn't force his way through, otherwise the old man would not be sure how to report him to the Prince Rui's Palace.

When Su Yunling saw Su Zhaohong, who was fidgeting with sweat on his forehead, she felt a little relieved in her heart.

Xu Handang had already heard the general idea when he came, and after briefly looking through the case file and the blood statement written by Su Yunling, he understood it even more clearly.

He looked at Su Yunling, who was kneeling below him, with bloodstains on her clothes. There were two horrible whip wounds on her face. Her clear and bright eyes looked very familiar, and reminded him of his eldest daughter who had passed away several years ago.

It's a pity that this child was born to Su Zhaohong and that whore's mistress. How could she be compared with her dignified and gentle eldest daughter?

Thinking of this, Xu Handang's face became more serious. "Plaintiff Su Yunling, in addition to the victim's statement, do you have any other evidence to prove that you were not present at the time of the crime?"

Su Yunling rolled her eyes and knelt down again, "In reply to your Excellency, I beg you to let my elder sister come and confront me face to face."

Xu Handang hesitated for a moment. The more he wanted to protect Su Yueying's reputation, the more he could not be suspected of covering up for her.

He still winked at Su Zhaohong.

Su Zhaohong felt like he was being roasted on the fire. His father-in-law was well-known for his selflessness. If he knew that Su Yueying was not wronged, he would report the matter to the higher authorities.

But before he could send anyone to invite Su Yueying, Su Yueying arrived with her other two brothers.

Su Yueying and Xiao Nanchuan looked at each other from a distance, then turned their gazes away and looked at Su Yunling.

Xu Handang immediately asked Su Yueying to come forward and confront Su Yunling in court.

"Do you two have an alibi?"

“Grandfather…” Su Yueying just started to act like a spoiled child as usual, but then she realized that the occasion was not right, so she changed her address and tone: “Sir, I was tending to my grandmother in the mansion that day. My grandmother, my brother, the maids and guards, and even Aunt Liu can all testify for me.”

After Su Yueying finished speaking, she saw the old lady of the Su family, the housekeeper, the head maid, and a large group of people coming.

They all stated in unison that the second young lady, Su Yunling, was not in the mansion that day, while the eldest young lady, Su Yueying, had been in the old lady's yard and did not leave until three quarters after the evening.

The old lady angrily accused Su Yunling of being a disaster star who disturbed the peace of the family. She scolded Aunt Liu for not disciplining her daughter well and said that both mother and daughter were a disaster.

Aunt Liu had been hiding aside without saying a word, but after receiving Su Zhaohong's eye contact, she immediately stepped forward and knelt down softly, wiping the non-existent tears from her eyes with a silk handkerchief.

"My life is so miserable! How could I give birth to such a bad-hearted daughter? Not only does she not learn to be a good person, but she also brings trouble to the whole family. If you don't confess your crime, you are no longer my daughter!"

Seeing her like this, Su Yunling secretly sneered in her heart. How come she didn't see such poor acting skills before?

Aunt Liu originally thought that as long as she cried and talked about severing the mother-daughter relationship as she did before, Su Yunling would silently compromise and accept everything as she had done countless times before.

But she never expected that Su Yunling also cried, and cried louder than her.

Isn't it just acting? It's like everyone knows it.

At this time, Xu Hantang said in a deep voice: "Silence! These other people may be in cahoots with Su Yueying, but your little wife won't give false testimony, right?"

Su Yunling knelt down in front of Xu Handang's desk, crying, and then officially began her performance.

"Sir, my mother has disliked me since I was a child. She made me wash clothes in winter and made me cook tea and wine and serve in front of the stove in summer. She didn't allow me to study and learn etiquette. She only made me do rough work to torture me... I don't understand why other sisters' mothers love their children, but my mother regards me as an enemy."

Aunt Liu panicked and quickly defended herself loudly: "What nonsense are you talking about? I am strict with you for your own good, and you don't appreciate it?"

Su Yunling also raised her voice to refute: "Doing it for my own good means that you will beat me until there is not a single piece of good flesh on my body if I am not satisfied? My dear little girl, wasn't I born after ten months of pregnancy? My eldest sister is loved by so many people, and you have to go and love and protect her, even though I am your daughter! Why do you all treat me like a piece of trash? What did I do wrong? My father doesn't love me, and my mother doesn't love me..."

She wanted to take advantage of today's opportunity to tear off the faces of these hypocritical villains in the Su family.

If she is in pain, then no one will be happy.

Aunt Liu was extremely panicked, but speechless.

This little girl who used to be submissive suddenly became a different person today and dared to say anything.

The entire Su family was caught off guard by her.

Su Zhaohong was so angry that he almost fainted. Except for Su Yunling, no one noticed that there was something wrong with Xu Handang's eyes.

Obviously, Su Yunling's words just now had made him suspicious.

This girl's eyes are so similar to her own daughter's, but she is not treated well by her mother.

Looking at Su Yueying again, in comparison, Su Yueying, his granddaughter, does not have any of his daughter's charm.

Suspicious! Really suspicious!

Su Yunling noticed the change in her grandfather's eyes, and she knew that her performance was successful.

The seed of doubt has been successfully planted, and the next step is to wait for it to grow.

"Sister, since you have invited so many witnesses to prove that you were in the mansion that day, I have two questions to ask you."

Su Yueying's eyes flashed with contempt, "What?"

Su Yunling smiled softly: "Excuse me, sister, who was the doctor who diagnosed grandma that day? What disease did grandma suffer from?"

The whole place was silent. Su Yueying was dazed. She wanted to look to other people in the mansion for help, but Su Yunling blocked her view.

Just when the old lady of the Su family was anxiously thinking about how to give Su Yueying a hint, she heard Su Yunling speak calmly.

"The doctor who treated my grandmother was Dr. Li from the Imperial Medical Bureau. She suffered from a headache accompanied by emaciation, and the prescription also required human blood." After she said this, she revealed the light pink scar on her palm.

Before everyone could recover from their shock, Su Yunling continued, "Doctor Li was worried that I would have scars on my hands, so he gave me a box of scar-removing and skin-regenerating ointment that is only available in the Imperial Medical Bureau." She took out the box of ointment from her sleeve and presented it to him.

Xu Handang took the evidence and looked at it carefully. It was obvious that this thing could only be made by the Imperial Medical Bureau.

"The physical evidence is valid. Does the defendant Su Yueying have anything to say?" Xu Handang could not hide his disappointment.

"That thing must have been stolen by that bitch Yingying." The old lady of the Su family knocked on her cane and made a unreasonable complaint.

Su Yunling sneered, "Grandma, what you said is unreasonable. If you said that I was hanging out in Caiyue Tower that day, how did I steal this box of ointment? Don't forget, I was arrested and imprisoned in Caiyue Tower."

"This..." The old lady wanted to say something, but she really couldn't continue.

"Come here, drag out these criminals who have disrespected the court and given false testimony and give them twenty lashes each."

The people in the Su Mansion suddenly became anxious, and Su Zhaohong could hardly hide his panic.

A timid maid confessed on the spot, "Sir, it was the Second Young Master and the Third Young Master who told us to say so. In fact, it was the Second Young Master who had been tending to the old lady that day..."
