The regent princess is strong and cool, and the beautiful prince loves her every day
Chapter 83: The evidence is solid, the vicious stepmother is desperate
Following Su Yueqing's words, everyone looked outside the door, and saw the guards beside the Regent carrying an old woman in.
"Princess, the person is here." Qingyang threw the old woman to the ground and said respectfully.
Su Yueqing nodded, "Sorry for the trouble."
Qingyang scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. He didn't expect the princess to be so polite and even gave him a guard to thank him.
Li Xueruo looked back at the old woman on the ground, and suddenly her eyes went dark and her head exploded with a buzzing sound.
Isn't this the midwife she arranged to be with Song Lan?
Why is she still alive?
After Song Lan died, she clearly sent people to kill all those who knew the truth. How come there was still one left?
Su Yueqing looked at Li Xueruo who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, and said coldly: "How is it? Do you know this person? This princess took a lot of effort to find her."
Of course, it wasn’t Su Yueqing who found it, but Xiao Mochen.
Su Yueqing knew that it would be difficult to convict someone based on just a recording, so after returning to Beijing for a few days, she did not rush to settle accounts with her vicious stepmother, but instead looked for other clues about what happened that year.
Of course, I also want to give the vicious stepmother a chance to surrender.
However, people always have a glimmer of hope, and the vicious stepmother is one of them.
Fortunately, her prince was very powerful and somehow found the witness from that year and asked Qingyang to take the person away.
Originally, Xiao Mochen was going to come in person, but something happened in the court that required him to handle it personally, so he had to let Qingyang come first.
Li Xueruo trembled even more when she heard Su Yueqing's voice, "No... I don't know her."
Su Yueqing snorted coldly, "Haha, you don't know her, but she knows you. Tell me, how did you two collude to frame my mother?"
The old woman had never seen such a big scene before, so she knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Sir, I will tell you everything. Please spare my life."
Before the old woman came, Qingyang had warned her several times that if she told a lie in the yamen, she would lose her life.
If she had told the truth and explained how the Prime Minister's wife had a difficult childbirth, she might have been able to save her life.
“Master, she made me do this.” The old woman pointed at Li Xueruo who was also kneeling on the ground. “When the Prime Minister’s wife gave birth, she sent a midwife to take my place. She deliberately didn’t let me help the Prime Minister’s wife deliver the baby, so that the Prime Minister’s wife died of hemorrhage after giving birth to the baby.”
"After the child was born, she asked me to announce to the public that the Prime Minister's wife died of complications during childbirth."
The old woman went on to say, "After I helped her kill the prime minister's wife, this vicious woman actually wanted to silence us and sent people to kill us who knew about it. Fortunately, I was lucky at the time and the blade missed my heart by three points, so I barely survived."
"But by then she had already become the new prime minister's wife, holding a high position of power. I could only change my name and survive." When the old woman said this, she looked at Li Xueruo with eyes full of resentment.
At the beginning, this woman promised herself that if she could successfully help her get rid of the Prime Minister's wife, she would give her one thousand taels of silver and let her live a life of wealth and worry-free.
But unexpectedly, she would turn against them and kill them all!
"Master, this woman is vicious and careless. She was resentful that the Prime Minister's wife blocked her way to the Prime Minister's residence, so she deliberately killed her!"
"Master, everything I said is true. I hope you can understand and spare my life because I took the initiative to admit my mistakes."
After hearing what the old woman said, Zhang Chengyuan had already concluded that Li Xueruo had hired someone to kill someone, so he asked, "Ms. Li, do you agree with what this woman just said? Did you deliberately frame the former prime minister's wife and cause her to hemorrhage and die?"
Li Xueruo shook her head and refused to admit it. "My Lord, I don't know this woman at all. It was Su Yueqing who deliberately bribed this old woman. She wanted to take the opportunity to frame me and force me to confess!"
"My Lord, please be wise and don't just believe in one person's words!" Li Xueruo insisted that it was a false accusation and refused to give in no matter what.
Su Hean also took the opportunity to speak up: "It has been several decades since that incident. Who can prove that the midwife at that time was the old woman in front of us?"
The old woman was not to be outdone and immediately argued, "Master, I have a habit of writing down the names of every woman I deliver in a special book to prevent any accidents. When I delivered the former prime minister's wife, I also recorded it in the book!"
As he spoke, he carefully took out a worn and yellowed account book from his arms and handed it to the person next to him.
The person next to him took the notebook, walked up the steps and presented it to Zhang Chengyuan.
After reading it, Zhang Chengyuan was furious and slammed the gavel. "You are so bold, Li, you have deliberately framed me, disregarded the law, and murdered the former prime minister's wife. The evidence is irrefutable. What else can I say?"
It turned out that after the old woman survived, she went home, took her money, and immediately moved to another place to live.
Before leaving, he took the account book with him, which recorded in detail how Li Xueruo framed the prime minister's wife, how she hired killers to frame her, and how she killed people to silence them.
Everything is recorded very clearly!
"My lord, I am innocent. How can a mere broken notebook prove that it is real and not forged by her?" Li Xueruo was still eloquent and tried to deny it.
Zhang Chengyuan smiled coldly, "I am not blind yet. The handwriting here is exactly the same as the previous one. Moreover, because it has been so long, the handwriting is slightly blurred and there is a musty smell. Tell me, how can this be fake?"
As he said that, Zhang Chengyuan threw the book in front of Li Xueruo and said, "If you don't believe it, you might as well take a look for yourself!"
Li Xueruo crawled up to pick up the notebook. Every delivery case was written down clearly on it, including the time, place, how long it took, and whether it was a boy or a girl. Everything was written clearly and could not be falsified or denied.
Li Xueruo suddenly collapsed to the ground. Did she lose just like that?
The people outside saw this scene and started talking about it.
"I never thought that the Prime Minister's wife looked so gentle and kind, but was actually so vicious behind the scenes!"
"No wonder the princess was sent to the countryside when she was born, and was not sent back until the Prince Regent proposed marriage. The Prime Minister's wife must have had something to do with this!"
"At the beginning, the Prime Minister's Mansion said that the princess was a disaster star. Maybe this matter was arranged by the Prime Minister's wife!"
......
Li Xueruo felt like her head was about to explode as she listened to the discussions outside.
Everything was apparently fine. She was the high and mighty, respected prime minister's wife, and was known for her virtue and good reputation. Why did Su Yueqing become like this after she returned from the countryside!
She is not willing to give in, really not willing to give in!
But now the facts are set, she lost, completely lost.
As for Su Hean, listening to the discussions outside, his original intention to protect Li Xueruo gradually wavered.
Now that Rou'er has been framed for murder, it is a foregone conclusion. He is the prime minister, and the prime minister's wife naturally cannot have any stain.
Although he loved Rou'er with all his heart, his career was not going well now and he couldn't afford to let any trouble happen at this time.
Compared to beauty, his career is more important!
If he helps Su Yueqing at this time, maybe he can even gain the favor of the Regent, and then he will become the arrogant Prime Minister again!
As for Su Yueyao, seeing the current situation, she knew that it was too late to save the situation. It didn't matter whether her mother admitted it or not.
Su Yueyao took a deep breath and knelt down in front of Su Yueqing. She spoke with a sincere tone that had never been so sincere before. "Sister, all the mistakes are mother's fault. It was because mother was confused that she made the mistake. I hope sister will not bear grudges and forgive mother."
After saying that, Su Yueyao knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.
As long as Su Yueqing doesn't pursue the matter, her mother still has hope of survival.
Otherwise, my mother would surely die.
She couldn't bear to watch her mother die like this.
Su Yueqing had a gloomy face and smiled coldly, "This princess is not a saint. If I forgive her, will this princess' mother be able to come back to life?"
"Debts must be paid, murder must be punished. Since the evidence is solid, the vicious stepmother must die today!"
Su Hean stepped forward to help Su Yueyao up, and scolded: "Yao'er, how did your husband teach you? Since ancient times, the law is unforgiving. Since your mother made a mistake, she should bear the consequences. You must not be confused!"
Afterwards, Su Hean said softly to Su Yueqing: "Yueqing, I was wronged before. I didn't recognize the evil intentions of the person beside the bed. It was my fault that I wronged you. I will compensate you in the future."
"Daddy!" Su Yueyao widened her eyes. What did Daddy mean by this? Was he going to give up on their mother?
Looking at her scumbag father who changes his expression faster than turning the pages of a book, Su Yueqing can't help but sigh that he is so flexible and has no conscience. He can even give up on the person he has been with for decades.
How disgusting!
Li Xueruo suddenly laughed out loud. When the wall falls, everyone pushes it. She never expected that the first person to distance himself from her would be her husband who always said he loved her.
“Hahahahahahaha…” Li Xueruo laughed like crazy, and when no one was paying attention, she suddenly took out a dagger from her sleeve and stabbed towards Su Yueqing.
Even if she dies, she will drag Su Yueqing to hell with her!
"Princess, be careful!"
