But I have to say that the Xie family's hustle and bustle is indeed interesting.

Xie Yun's ruthlessness, ingratitude, cruelty to his wife, and abuse of his legitimate son are truly despicable.

A hypocrite like him has been a Hanlin scholar for many years and now he wants to become the prime minister?

What a wishful thinking!

He was promoted to the highest position today, and it was time for him to finish his term as a Hanlin scholar.

The eldest princess looked at Xie Ying again, and saw her sitting obediently beside Situ Yuan, leaning against the back of the chair, her black eyes looking around excitedly, and her heart softened.

After Xie Xiu got into trouble, Xie Ying returned to her home.

She hasn't seen the child for so long and she misses him very much.

The most important thing is that this child is not only beautiful and blessed, but she also never cries or makes a fuss and always smiles at people. It really makes people's hearts melt!

If the weather wasn't so hot, the eldest princess would have wanted to hold Xie Ying in her arms and kiss her more.

Xie Ying noticed her gaze, smiled sweetly at her, and continued to watch the fun.

After the eldest princess arrived, someone immediately arranged the best seat for her, and she decisively grabbed a seat so that she could watch the show from then on.

[Tsk, the old woman's face is really grim. Is she scared?]

[Huh? The cuckolded second one is here too? This makes things even more lively.]

Xie Ying observed and complained at the same time. After waiting for a long time, the court finally started.

Madam Xie and Chen Fang both had imperial decrees, so they did not need to kneel.

The only one kneeling now is the Luo clan leader, the plaintiff.

The Minister of Justice had his complaint read aloud, then struck the gavel and asked Chen Fang, Xie Yun, and Old Madam Xie, "Luo Hongwang has accused you of murdering the Luo family. Do you plead guilty?"

Madam Xie immediately retorted, "He is slandering me! Luo is my daughter-in-law. I have always treated her as my own daughter. How could I harm her?"

"She died unexpectedly during childbirth! I was so heartbroken that I fell seriously ill and almost died with her. I never thought someone would be so cruel and ruthless that, for money, they would slander me, an old woman with a half-buried coffin!"

After saying that, he began to wipe away his tears sadly.

Chen Fang and Xie Yun also denied it flatly.

The Minister of Justice remained expressionless. He had Madam Zhao brought up and asked, "Zhao, you confessed that Chen bribed a Taoist priest to slander Luo as a vixen in front of Old Madam Xie. Later, you pretended to be a midwife, delivered Luo's baby, and then performed a cesarean section to deliver the baby. Do you plead guilty?"

Zhao Ma Ma knelt on the ground, trembling all over: "Please, Master Qingtian, please help me. I was forced to do this!"

The Minister of Justice asked in a deep voice, "Then tell me in detail, who forced you to do this?"

Xie Ying saw that Madam Zhao first glanced at Chen Fang, then lowered her head and recounted the events of that year with exaggeration, tearfully accusing Chen Fang of coercion, Madam Xie of cruelty, and Xie Yun of hypocrisy and shamelessness.

According to her, Xie Yun was the top scorer in the imperial examination and was paraded through the streets on horseback when he was noticed by Chen Fang. Chen Fang even picked a flower at hand and threw it directly into Xie Yun's arms to declare her sovereignty so that no one would snatch it away from her.

Later, she sent a maid to deliver a letter to Xie Yun, asking him to meet her. Xie Yun did not refuse and paid the money directly.

The two of them began to have a secret affair.

However, Xie Yun already had a wife, and Miss Luo had a generous dowry. Her family was in the tea business and was very rich.

It was thanks to her dowry that Xie Yun was able to study under a famous teacher and become the top scorer in the imperial examination.

Once you divorce your wife, you will definitely be cursed.

So the two of them conspired to cause Luo to die in childbirth.

Xie Ying looked coldly at the expressions of Chen Fang, Xie Yun and Old Madam Xie, then looked at Xie You.

The four people's expressions were very ugly.

And Chen Fang quickly said: "Nurse, who is forcing you to slander me like this? You have taken care of me for many years, and I know what kind of person you are.

If someone hadn't held your lifeline, you would never have harmed me like this! Did someone threaten your family's lives to force you to say this?
