Feng Qingxia was so frightened that her body was shaking.

Looking at Granny Chen's family, he kept muttering to himself.

"No! Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Duan Qiwen?

Duan Zhuangyuan?

The emperor seemed to remember.

Isn’t this Duan Qiwen the top scholar who won the top three places in the imperial examination three years ago?

Duan Qiwen is an extremely outstanding top scholar.

He was knowledgeable and a rare talent. He passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer at the age of eighteen.

The emperor remembered that Duan Qiwen was from Duanjia Village, Tonglin Town.

After passing the imperial examination, he was killed by robbers on his way back home.

The emperor felt very sorry.

Later, people were sent to Duanjia Village, and they heard that his mother had also died.

The emperor only understood the reason at this moment.

In the past three years, there have been almost no talented people in Tonglin Town, and even scholars are very few.

It used to be the town that produced the most talents.

Three years ago, Feng Qing'an came to him to arrange a marriage for Feng Qingxia.

The emperor also asked Duan Qiwen, but he didn't expect that he already had a virtuous wife at home.

The emperor gave up on this.

At this time, the emperor looked at Feng Qingxia with a gloomy face.

"Feng Qingxia, I ask you, do you admit these charges or not?"

Feng Qingxia refused on the spot when she heard this.

"Your Majesty, please don't listen to their nonsense. How could a concubine do such a thing?"

She would never admit it, she had dealt with everything that happened back then.

But she didn't expect that there were still some fish that slipped through the net.

When Granny Chen heard this, she was so angry that she started crying and wanted to roll up her sleeves to hit Feng Qingxia, but was stopped by Duan Ying.

Duan Ying looked at Feng Qingxia and said.

"Do you think we would report it to the police without evidence?"

Feng Qingxia's heart skipped a beat and she became frightened in an instant.

Duan Ying ignored her expression and bowed to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I have witnesses here. Please call witnesses Li Qin and Huang Cuihua."

Then Eunuch De shouted outside the hall.

"Summon witnesses Li Qin and Huang Cuihua."

At this time, a young man wearing a green county magistrate's uniform and a black official hat on his head walked in.

Following behind him was an old woman in purple linen clothes.

As the old woman entered the Golden Palace, she glanced at Feng Qingxia who was kneeling on the ground, her face full of hatred.

Feng Qingxia felt that this old woman seemed somewhat familiar.

Before she could think about it, the man in green and the old woman knelt down.

"Your humble servant, along with Li Qin, the magistrate of Linzhen, pays homage to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long, long live the Emperor!"

Mrs. Huang also followed the county magistrate.

"This humble woman pays homage to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, long, long live the Emperor!"

The emperor waved his hand.

"Please stand up, both of you!"

"You two are witnesses, so please state your testimony."

Li Qin began to tell the story.

"Your Majesty, I am a good friend and classmate of Duan Qiwen, the top scholar."

"Three years ago, I passed the imperial examination and was assigned by the Ministry of Personnel to Tonglin Town as the county magistrate."

"My good friend Duan Qiwen passed the imperial examination and was assigned to the Hanlin Academy, where he was awarded the title of Hanlin Academy Editor (sixth rank)."

"We were planning to return home together, but when I was returning home, I remembered that I needed to bring medicine for my mother, so Qiwen left first."

"I bought some medicine and took a carriage home. Halfway through, I heard a trembling sound in front of me."

"When I arrived, I saw my classmate Duan Qiwen lying on the ground covered in blood."

At this point, Li Qin's eyes turned red and he continued with a sob.

"I quickly got off the carriage and helped Qiwen up. Qiwen, holding on to his last breath, told me the truth. Only then did I know that it was Feng Qingxia who sent someone to kill him."

When Feng Qingxia heard this, she argued loudly.

"Your Majesty, don't listen to Li Qin's nonsense. He is wrongly accusing me."

"I didn't do it. Duan Qiwen is dead, so of course he can say whatever he wants. I don't admit it."

Seeing Feng Qingxia being so shameless, Li Qin said angrily.

"Don't think that Qiwen is dead and there is no evidence. I still have evidence in my hands."

As he spoke, Li Qin took out the evidence from his arms and handed it to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I have in my hand the token that Duan Qiwen pulled from the man in black before he died."

Eunuch De presented the token to the emperor.

The front of the token has the word "Grand Princess Mansion" written on it, and the back has the word "Xia" written on it.

The emperor was so angry that he threw the token directly at Feng Qingxia's face.

"What else do you have to say?"

Feng Qingxia refused to admit it and continued to argue.

“Although the Emperor’s token belongs to the Grand Princess’s Mansion, the token could also be from the Grand Princess’s Mansion and was accidentally lost.”

Li Qin didn't think of Feng Qingxia and continued to be shameless.

"Okay, since you don't admit it, then I will continue."

Li Qin continued to narrate what happened next.

"I carried Duan Qiwen's body back with me, and Granny Chen fainted from crying."

"Qiwen's wife, Junior Sister Zhou, learned of this and went to the capital alone, hoping to seek justice for Duan Qiwen."

"After I learned of this, I rushed to the capital to stop it."

"Who knew that I was still a step too late. Junior Sister Zhou... Junior Sister Zhou was humiliated to death by Feng Qingxia's men." Li Qin said with tears streaming down his face.

"The body was thrown into a mass grave. I was extremely sad and took the body back to Tonglin Town."

"Who knew! I was a step too late again. Feng Qingxia sent people to burn Duan Qiwen's family to death, hoping to completely eliminate the problem and burn Granny Chen and Hu'er to death."

"I am deeply distressed."

"I didn't expect to get such a result after telling the truth. I thought Granny Chen and Duan Hu died in the fire."

"I feel extremely guilty."

"If Junior Sister Zhou and Granny Chen hadn't been told, Junior Sister Zhou wouldn't have come to the capital alone."

"Granny Chen won't be burned to death by Feng Qingxia and the others."

"Since then, I have secretly vowed to seek justice for Duan Qiwen's family."

"I am secretly investigating the results and collecting evidence."

"As expected, hard work pays off. I sent someone to follow Feng Qingxia and discovered something fishy."

"Feng Qingxia got married on March 20th, and her baby was due at the end of the year. Her daughter was born three months prematurely, but she was born at full term."

Feng Qingxia was extremely flustered and angrily scolded Li Qindao.

"You're talking nonsense. It's obvious that my wife's Xiangxiang was a premature baby. What evidence do you have to prove it?"

"You are slandering me, be careful or I will sue you for slander."

Li Qin looked at Feng Qingxia, sneered, and said to the old woman beside him.

"Aunt Cuihua, tell me everything you know."

Huang Cuihua looked at Feng Qingxia with resentful eyes and continued.

"Your Majesty, I was the midwife who delivered your baby back then."

"When Feng Qingxia gave birth to her daughter, I discovered that her daughter was born at full term and not premature at all."

"Feng Qingxia gave me fifty taels of silver as hush money."

"I took the money and prepared to go home. I never thought that Feng Qingxia would actually send someone to kill me to silence me."

"If Lord Li Qin hadn't saved me in time, I would have died long ago."

Feng Qingxia was terrified.

"You...you...you are not dead." After these words were spoken, what else did Chao Wenwu not understand?

At this time.

Feng Qingxia's husband, Shi Yiwen, stood up.

When Feng Qingxia saw her husband come out, she felt like she had found a life-saving straw.

She cried out with a face full of tears.

"Husband, please save me! They are wronging me and our Xiangxiang."

"Xiangxiang was clearly a premature baby, but they actually said she was full-term."

"Aren't they saying you, my husband, are cuckolding? They're actually slandering Qingxia's innocence."

Shi Yiwen sneered.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Feng Qingxia thought that Shi Yiwen wanted to speak for her, and her face was full of pride.

As long as Shi Yiwen protects her, nothing these people say will be of any use.

Then she heard words that almost made her faint.

"Your Majesty, I am infertile. The child Feng Qingxia gave birth to is not mine."

When these words were spoken, everyone in the court was shocked.

Feng Qingxia's eyes widened.

I never thought Shi Yiwen would say that.

"No, no, my husband, Xiangxiang is your child!"

"Why don't you want to smell good? Why why why?"

At this time, Feng Xian'er also stood up. She couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

"Father, Xian'er has something to say."

"Three years ago, Feng Qingxia from Fuyuan Temple was raped by a robber. The child she was carrying was the robber's child."

"Xian'er was so frightened at the time. Fortunately, Feng Qing'an arrived in time, so Xian'er was not abused like Feng Qingxia."

"It's just that Feng Qingxia and Feng Qing'an gave Xian'er a crazy drug."

"In order not to tell Xian'er the truth."

Granny Chen cried.

"Wow... Feng Qingxia killed this woman's son in order to find a father for her bastard."

"Wuwu... Please, Your Majesty, make a decision for my son and daughter-in-law!"
