Shengjing Noble
Chapter 56 Reaping the consequences
"What do you know? A legitimate daughter doesn't have to be good-looking, but she is definitely better at managing household affairs than a concubine's daughter. Moreover, when it comes to music, chess, calligraphy and painting, a legitimate daughter is more carefully educated, and a concubine's daughter can't compare!"
"You are such an interesting person. They are both daughters from the same family, so why do you treat them differently? Even if there is a distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children, it shouldn't be the case that one should learn everything and the other should not be taught anything, right?"
……
Listening to the discussions of others, Su Yongcheng's face turned completely dark.
He didn't expect that he would be pushed into such an occasion and be laughed at!
It’s all Su Lanyin’s fault. If it weren’t for her, things wouldn’t have developed to this point!
In the court, Su Lanxin shed tears of grievance. Her pale face made her look extremely broken, which made people feel pity for her.
"Sir, I regard my sister as my closest person, but I never thought she would poison me. Even so, she still wants to put the blame on my grandmother... Well, fortunately I was not poisoned to death. I don't want to pursue this matter anymore. Please let my grandmother go. If not, I am willing to take the punishment in her place!"
As she spoke, she knelt in front of the old lady with a brave and fearless attitude, looking particularly determined.
If you don’t know her, you would be really moved by her bravery and filial piety. Unfortunately, Su Lanyin just thought it was ridiculous.
If she didn't have evil intentions and wanted to frame others, how could things have turned out like this?
But the evildoers did not reflect on themselves at all. They just thought that others should not resist and they deserved to be stepped on by her for the rest of their lives, and be humiliated and framed at will!
Lord Xu was a little shaken, and there was a hint of softness in his eyes. After all, he valued filial people the most.
A woman who would rather suffer herself than save her grandmother should not have a vicious heart.
Just as he was about to let the case go, Su Lanyin suddenly stepped forward and said, "Master Xu, if you want to know the truth of this matter, there is actually another way."
"Oh? What can I do?"
Su Lanyin clapped her hands, and suddenly a few people rushed in from outside the yamen. It was Cuizhu and Doctor Xue who came in.
When Lord Xu saw this, he immediately stood up from his chair. If it weren't for the fact that they were in court, he would have rushed down to greet them.
Everyone in Shengjing City knew that Divine Doctor Xue had saved the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.
But Lord Xu's real admiration for him was not just that. It was more because, when his wife had a difficult delivery, it was Doctor Xue who prescribed the medicine that saved his wife's life and gave birth to a healthy and lovely daughter.
Therefore, Xue Qi is a great benefactor in his eyes!
"Why is Doctor Xue here?" he asked.
Su Lanyin explained: "Everyone here should know or have heard of the name of Doctor Xue, and you all recognize his medical skills, right?"
Lord Xu nodded first and started pounding garlic.
"There is no doubt about this! Divine Doctor Xue is our benefactor and he saves the world with his medicine!"
Su Lanyin smiled and continued, "Fifth sister keeps saying that you were poisoned by arsenic, but I don't think she looks poisoned at all. She cried with full energy. Why don't we let Doctor Xue feel your pulse? If you are really poisoned, we can talk about the real culprit, how about that?"
"What? I don't agree!" Su Lanxin was furious and shouted guiltily, "Everyone knows that Xue Qi and your mother are not in a clear relationship. Asking him to check my pulse is simply a deliberate attempt to harm me. Maybe he has been bribed by you and your mother a long time ago!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone burst into heated discussion.
Su Yongcheng felt as if he was covered in green from the neck up. He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes full of hatred.
Su Lanyin had already prepared several plans. She gave Cuizhu a look, and soon, Doctor Zhang, who had previously treated Su Lanxin at the Su family, was also invited up.
"Doctor Zhang, you just said at the Su family that Su Lanxin was poisoned by arsenic. Now Doctor Xue is standing here. Do you dare to guarantee again in front of everyone that your diagnosis is correct?"
Doctor Zhang was kneeling on the ground trembling, and he accepted the five taels of silver. The doctor only asked him to make up a lie, but he didn't say that he would take it to court and cause a lawsuit!
Thinking of this, he kowtowed and cried, saying, "My Lord, please have mercy on me. I didn't know it would be so serious. It was the maidservant beside Madam Su who gave me five taels of silver and asked me to say that the Fifth Miss was poisoned by arsenic. I really didn't know it was perjury. Please have mercy on me, my Lord!"
He was so scared that he blurted out the whole truth, causing an uproar at the scene.
Everyone looked at Su Lanxin and Liu Ruyan with contempt.
"No, that's not the case, sir! It was my sixth sister who bribed this quack doctor to frame me, that must be it!"
She defended herself in a panic, but forgot that the fact that she was not poisoned was the most favorable evidence against Su Lanyin!
Why! Is it so difficult to deal with a mere ancient person?
Su Lanyin calmly retorted, "Fifth sister may not know that arsenic is strictly controlled. Who bought arsenic and how much they bought are all recorded, Cuizhu!"
After she finished speaking, Cuizhu took out an account book and handed it over.
She flipped it open and continued, "It clearly records the purpose and amount of arsenic purchased by the Su family. Suiyuexuan did not take a single cent, but Mingzhu Pavilion took a lot."
Now that this is said, what else is there to not understand!
But Su Lanxin still shouted that she was innocent and disrupted the court!
Lord Xu was furious. He slammed the gavel and shouted, "How dare you! How can you yell in the court? Since you don't trust Doctor Xue, I have a doctor in my house. Please come up and see you!"
After saying this, a yamen runner turned around and ran to the backyard. After a while, he brought out a doctor.
"Miss, can I take your pulse?"
The doctor asked politely.
Su Lanxin seemed to be stimulated by something, she stood up and wanted to run out.
"Don't touch me, you all want to hurt me, I don't trust anyone..."
Seeing this, Liu Ruyan didn't care about anything else and immediately rushed in to protect Su Lanxin behind her.
Things have come to this point, if anyone still doesn't understand what is going on, then their life has been in vain.
It was clearly Su Lanxin who framed Su Lanyin for poisoning. It was simply the thief crying "stop thief"!
After all, she is a half-sister. How could she do such a cruel and cruel thing to her younger sister?
Liu Ruyan nervously protected her daughter, knowing in her heart that if this continued, her heart would be ruined.
So he gritted his teeth, held his head high and said, "I did all this! Sir, if you want to punish me, come at me."
Everyone looked at her in confusion.
I didn’t expect that such a good show could continue one after another!
Lord Xu said impatiently: "Please explain clearly, what is going on?"
Liu Ruyan felt extremely embarrassed standing in front of everyone, but for the sake of her daughter, she had to endure it.
"It was Lanyin who first caused Xin'er to hit her head against the wall and commit suicide, so as her stepmother, I just wanted to teach her a lesson. Even if she attacked her relatives, she had to bear the consequences. But I didn't expect it to be so serious. I really had good intentions and wanted to teach the child well, but..."
At this point, she shed tears in self-blame: "It's all my fault, it's my fault, Lanyin, please don't blame mother, okay?"
Although everyone was suspicious, they felt a little convinced when they saw her sincere look.
Only Su Lanyin felt disgusted.
She looked at Su Lanxin, who was furious and glaring at her with hatred.
I’m afraid that he is not convinced in his heart and will become even worse in the future!
Therefore, Su Lanyin would definitely not let her go easily this time!
