Female martial arts fanatics only love to fight, while men fight for their lives.

"You mean, the current Duke of Zhenguo Lou Xiao is the child that woman picked up?"

As soon as this was said, some people speculated that the woman was carrying the child of the former Duke of Zhenguo.

As for the adopted child, where did he come from? At least it is certain that he has nothing to do with the former Duke of Zhenguo.

Lou Xiao had no recollection of any of this. Most of her memories started from Yunwu Mountain. As for what happened before coming to Yunwu Mountain, she had no recollection of it.

The old man didn't say it explicitly, but the result can be guessed.

"As neighbors, we also helped out. I remember that the adopted child was born strong and used to steal things in the village, which was annoying.

Of course, she also secretly caught a chicken from Caomin's house and roasted it for food. Caomin remembers that after she was caught, she was beaten up and left with scars. "

After they finished speaking, they stopped talking and their eyes fell on Lou Xiao. Although they didn't say anything, it seemed that they wanted her to verify it.

"Ridiculous." Li Huaiqing had been silent until he heard what the old man said.

"Without any evidence, you are trying to pin the gossip you heard from somewhere on the head of the current Duke of Zhenguo. Anyone can say such things, but the important thing is to produce evidence.

You said she is not of the Lou family bloodline, how do you prove it?"

"The child we picked up has been wandering for a long time, and there are scars on his back." The old man confirmed.

"I have seen it with my own eyes, so I cannot lie."

Lou Xiao frowned and said, "That's it? After practicing martial arts for many years, isn't it normal to have scars on your body?"

Censor Zhu said,

"Why don't we ask someone to come and check his body? It's impossible for the Duke of Zhenguo to have a scar on his back, right?"

Li Huaiqing refused, "She was personally conferred the title of Duke of Zhenguo by His Majesty. How can such a simple reason be enough to make her undress for inspection?"

The empress sat at the top seat without saying a word. Her face could not be seen clearly behind the pearl curtain.

Lou Xiao was not in a hurry, she just said,

"Anything else? Whether I am a descendant of the Lou family or not, what does it have to do with you suing me?"

She came all the way here just to tell all the civil and military officials that she is not a member of the Lou family?

What kind of crime is this?

"If you are not of the Lou family, then you are guilty of deceiving the emperor! You deceived His Majesty and stole the position of the Duke of Zhenguo. Isn't it enough to make it known to the world to set things right?"

Censor Zhu said excitedly.

“We, the common people, are not here just for these reasons.

I am here to sue her because before the woman and her family left, the child, perhaps resentful of being beaten, set fire to my house and burned it to ashes!"

The old man burst into tears as he spoke.

"There was a baby who was not even a month old and my elderly mother at home. The fire was so big that they were burned to death. We could only watch helplessly outside the house...."

"The Caomin family didn't dare to pursue the matter. Even if we knew it was her who did it, we could only let her go.

But I hate it. For many years, I have always heard the crying of children and the cries of old mothers. That fire not only killed my relatives, but also burned up half a year's food rations. My family almost starved to death..."

The old man looked at Lou Xiao and said, "It has been so long, can we just pretend that it never happened? I am old now, with one foot in the earth.

But when I heard that the culprit not only did not receive retribution, but also held a high position and enjoyed wealth and glory...I just couldn't accept it."

Even if I die, I will peel off a layer of her skin.

After finally hearing their grievances, the officials in the court fell silent.

Duke Zhenguo Lou Xiao was able to kill Shan Yuan in the street, and he was quite skilled in fighting, so he must have been no ordinary person when he was young.

Although no one specifically mentioned Lou Xiao by name, everyone now assumed that it was Lou Xiao.

It's her.
