Love is deep but fate is shallow, this beautiful wife has waited for a thousand years

Is it A Rui? How could it be him? Mu Xiaoqiao couldn't believe it. What about Xuemei? Was she also his accomplice?

The news was passed to her by Ruan Haoyu. If he hadn't found evidence, he wouldn't have said it casually, but A Rui...that was A Rui who had followed her since childhood and was willing to risk his life for her.

Another dawn came after Mu Xiaoqiao had stayed awake all night.

Someone came to interrogate the Mu family early in the morning. Mu Xiaoqiao sorted out his thoughts and went to the lobby of the Dali Temple with the Mu family.

This time, all members of the Mu family were brought to the court. Mu Xiaoqiao knew that the time had come to make a decision.

The presiding judge was naturally the Dali Temple Minister Wang Youquan, and he was assisted by the Minister of Justice. Almost all the officials of the Dali Temple came, and the momentum was very grand. There was a lot of noise outside the Dali Temple. It seemed that the people already knew that the case of the General's Mansion would be tried today, but the door of the Dali Temple was closed, and the trial was not open to the public.

Mu Xiaoqiao sneered. If he was enforcing the law impartially, why would he be afraid of the people's gossip?

Wang Youquan slammed the gavel and said, "Why don't you kneel down?"

Mu Xiaoqiao snorted coldly, "My Mu family kneels to heaven and earth, to our parents, to our wise ruler, and to the common people, but we won't kneel to a dog official who can't tell right from wrong. You are not worthy!"

"My sister is right, Wang Youquan, you are a useless official." Mu Jincheng echoed from the side.

Wang Youquan was furious, "How dare you, Mu Xiaoqiao, you are still so arrogant even when you are about to die. Come on, beat her until she kneels down."

Immediately, the yamen runners came forward and started beating them with sticks. Mu Xiaoqiao and Mu Jincheng were not afraid, but the servants and children of the Mu family were beaten to their knees. Mu Xiaoqiao kicked the yamen runner who was hitting her away. When she heard the cries of two children, she paused for a moment, and did not dodge the next stick, so she was hit hard under the knee and fell to the ground.

Wang Youquan hated the arrogant Mu family members in his heart. He and Mu Huanan were not on good terms in the first place, and when the Mu family got into trouble this time, he had added insult to injury. Now he was determined not to let the Mu family recover.

"Come here, read out the Mu family's crimes."

Someone nearby immediately unfolded the complaint and began to read, "It is reported that the General's Mansion of the Great Jin Dynasty colluded with the Southern Rong and intended to rebel. This has been verified to be true. General Mu Huanan has been frequently exchanging letters with the Crown Prince of the Southern Rong for many years, intending to overthrow the Great Jin Dynasty. The letters have now been seized. His daughter Mu Xiaoqiao has even colluded with the Crown Prince of the Southern Rong, pretending to be captured, but in fact she has been secretly communicating with them, and the letters have been sent by wild geese. During the time when the former Crown Prince of the Southern Rong, now the King of Zhennan, was on a diplomatic mission to the Great Jin Dynasty, the father and daughter of the Mu family secretly met with him in the General's Mansion. The family servants and deputy generals can all testify to this. In view of the above, the Mu family colluded with the Southern Rong, and there is both human and material evidence. This has been verified to be true, and I have signed and sealed it."

Wang Youquan slammed the gavel again, "Mu Xiaoqiao, do you have any objection?"

"If you want to accuse someone of a crime, you can always find a pretext for it." Mu Xiaoqiao sneered. As the deputy general of the family servant, it seemed that Ruan Haoyu did not lie to her.

"You won't give up until you reach the Yellow River. Come on, show us the evidence."

Someone immediately placed the physical evidence in front of Mu Xiaoqiao. Mu Xiaoqiao looked at the rosewood box that he had seen once before. The lock on it had been opened, and what he could see now were neatly folded letters inside.

Sure enough it was him.

Xuemei also saw it. She stood up suddenly and exclaimed, "Miss, this is not..."

"Kneel down!" A stick hit Xuemei's leg mercilessly. She screamed in pain, knelt down, and her words were interrupted.

Next to the rosewood box, there was a bigger box with more letters inside. Mu Xiaoqiao casually opened one and said, "General, you can send General Xiaoqiao to the army. Yu will arrive soon. If there is anything important, you can keep us two to discuss it in person. I haven't seen your daughter for a long time and I miss her very much."

Mu Xiaoqiao sneered, "You really took great pains to forge so many letters. But Lord Wang, have you ever thought that if my father and I really collaborated with the enemy, how could you find the evidence of collaboration so easily?"

"Don't quibble! You and your daughter are so arrogant that you think no one would dare to cause trouble to the General's Mansion, so you didn't take precautions. Little did you know that people of justice would never watch you and your daughter subvert our Great Jin Dynasty in this way."

"A righteous man?" Mu Xiaoqiao stared at Wang Youquan. "Then could you please ask this righteous man to show his face so that I, Mu Xiaoqiao, can see what kind of face this traitor has!"

"Don't be so arrogant. You are about to die anyway, so let you die with a sense of conviction. Come, call the witnesses."

Footsteps sounded behind her. Mu Xiaoqiao closed her eyes and did not look back. She was very familiar with this footsteps.

Mu Jincheng's roar rang out from behind, "Chen Taorui, it's you, you beast!"

Xuemei collapsed to the ground all of a sudden. She still had a glimmer of hope in her heart just now, hoping that it wasn't him, but now, her hope had been completely shattered. It turned out that she had really become an accomplice without realizing it.

Mu Jincheng was still cursing, "Chen Taorui, my General's Mansion treated you well, but you, an ungrateful person, actually harmed us. Father must have been blind to raise a heartless person like you..."

"Quiet, quiet."

Chen Taorui ignored Mu Jincheng's insults. He had been staring at Mu Xiaoqiao's back since he came in, but she never looked back at him.

She should be extremely disappointed in him, right? But who made the Mu family, all of them are hypocritical people? Mu Huanan, who promised him to protect Mu Xiaoqiao, but turned around and agreed to the marriage. Mu Xiaoqiao didn't take him seriously at all, and actually sent him away with a maid. Since they didn't treat him as a human being, what else did he have to worry about? He wanted to let them know that he, Chen Taorui, was not just dependent on others. As long as he wanted, it would be easy to overthrow the general's mansion! He wanted to let them know the consequences of underestimating him! As for Mu Xiaoqiao, since he couldn't get her, then... destroy her!

"Dragon Tiger Battalion Deputy General Chen Taorui pays respect to Lord Wang and all the lords."

“Chen Taorui, have you ever witnessed with your own eyes that Mu Huanan and his daughter colluded with the Crown Prince of Nanrong and conspired to rebel?”

Chen Taorui looked at Mu Xiaoqiao next to him. She closed her eyes and never looked at him. A surge of anger rushed to his head. At this time, she still disdained to ask him once? She even didn't want to look at him.

Taking a deep breath, he said loudly: "My Lord, that's right. I thought General Mu Xiaoqiao was captured by the Crown Prince of Nanrong, so I led people to rescue him thousands of miles away. I didn't expect to see them being in love..."

"You farted!" Mu Jincheng couldn't help but swear.

"Later, General Mu Huanan became seriously ill, and Mu Xiaoqiao and I rushed back together. We accidentally discovered that Mu Huanan had been colluding with the Southern Rong. Some time ago, the Southern Rong King Zhennan came to the Jin Dynasty to marry a princess. Before the envoys entered the city, the King Zhennan actually went into the city first to meet with Mu Huanan and his daughter. The servants can also testify to this."

Mu Xiaoqiao had never realized that Chen Taorui was so good at speaking and his lies were impeccable, whether true or false. She had really underestimated him before.
