After the zombies traveled through time, they were tricked by the villain into becoming a stepmother

"It was you who abandoned your first wife first, and then robbed someone else's wife, yet you still have the audacity to say such shameless words of affection.

Pooh!

I'm almost sick of it.

Really, such shamelessness is enough to make even a mere warrior like me admit defeat!"

Who is this hero who is speaking for me?

Old Zhu turned his head gratefully and met the eyes of Lord Xia, who had some unspeakable thoughts about him. He shuddered instantly.

Xia Yijie, who was escorting the witness, dragged Wang Po into the hall and blatantly stood on the side of the Zhu couple.

"What? When you were taking advantage of your ex-wife's misfortune, did you accidentally hit your own brain? Have you chosen to completely forget how you bullied her?

If I have inquired correctly, I heard that it was you who divorced your wife and remarried when the Wan family fell into decline, but you could not bear to part with Wan's beauty and wanted to forcibly detain her as your concubine.

How can you still say something like "remembering our past fate"? You are wasting your talent to be an official. You deserve to be an actor. You can win applause as soon as you go on stage!"

When Old Xia gets snarky, he does have some power. Although he is not as polite as the civil servants, he dares to say anything and does not hide anything. He is good at tearing off the fig leaf. He may not be polite, but he is very refreshing!

And this person also thought very clearly that in this world, the brave will be fed to death and the timid will starve to death. Since he had already received the rice bowl given by Her Royal Highness the Princess, he had to keep the cook for everyone.

Therefore, Lord Xia, who knows how to behave himself, no longer has the same self-protective and muddle-headed attitude as before. When he confronts people, he is so decisive that he directly tears off Su Shaofang's face.

Wu Guangmao, who was also brought to the court, was extremely angry with his son-in-law, but on the surface they were still a family, and it was impossible for him to sit idly by and watch being slapped in the face by an outsider.

So he took a step forward with no expression on his face, and argued with the man dryly.

"Master Xia, your words are wrong. Please listen to what I have to say.

My son-in-law has already made it very clear just now that it was because the daughter of the Wan family had not been able to give birth for several years that he had no choice but to divorce her. Afterwards, considering that she had no family to go to, he just wanted to give her a place to stay out of kindness.

Besides, the past is the past, so why bring it up again now?"

He turned around and bowed respectfully to the Minister of Justice who was sitting in the hall. No matter how fierce the fight between the two political factions was, he must not leave any evidence open to get caught.

"Lord Chu, I don't know what I have done wrong, but you have sent someone to take me to the Ministry of Justice? If you can't give me a proper explanation, I, a humble official, will have to risk my face and go before His Majesty to discuss right and wrong!"

Chu Zhankui looked at the Zheng family's lackey in the hall. He raised the corner of his mouth nonchalantly, still showing that calm expression.

"Why are you in such a hurry? The truth is not in the loudness of the voice. If you want to know why you were brought here, just wait for me to slowly investigate the case."

The gavel slammed, and he was too lazy to beat around the bush with this useless person. For Lao Chu, who had been solving cases for many years, this case was simple and clear, so why bother to make a fuss? He just asked someone to present a series of witnesses and evidence.

The son of the old man who died of poison in Wanfu Inn, the doctors in the clinic who participated in the treatment, including the minor officials who handled the case, as well as the steward of the Su family, Mrs. Wu's personal nanny, and her daughter Wu's personal maid.

The Ministry of Justice acted swiftly and vigorously, and all the little people involved were dug out. When things were not clear, it was indeed difficult to take action against officials or their families, but no one said that we couldn't take action against their servants, right?

Sometimes, once the mouths of these confidants were pried open, they could be directly used as evidence. The people in the Ministry of Justice who were proficient in torture were the best at this.

They even unearthed some alternative surprises.

The crime of corruption and bribery committed by Magistrate Wan was actually secretly committed by his then-son-in-law Su Shaofang. And the tax silver from Jingzhou Prefecture that had been missing for more than ten years was finally found out by accident when the ninth fingernail of the scarred housekeeper Su was pulled out.

It was Su Shaofang's father, the former Tongzhi, who has now passed away, who took over. It was with this batch of tax silver that Su Shaofang was able to marry the sister of Concubine Wu of the Prince Kang's Mansion and successfully get a high position in the capital.

"Master, I am sorry to you and even more sorry to you..."

The dying housekeeper Su lay on the ground and cried bitterly. He knew that he had let down his master. But his only grandson had been the only heir in his family for six generations, and he must not fall into the hands of those evil spirits in the Ministry of Justice!

"How dare you, a wicked slave, frame your master?!"

Su Shaofang, who was extremely angry, finally lost his composure and no longer acted like a gentleman. He even kicked the old servant aside with a very shameless kick and quickly turned around to make excuses.

"Sir, please allow me to report this. This wicked slave's words are untrue. I am wrongly accused!"

"Please be patient and don't rush to complain. I will make a wise decision."

Lao Chu's voice was noticeably happier at this moment. He really didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain. Hahaha!

Come on, come on, serve the dishes and continue dancing. This official’s place has a lot of dishes and can accommodate any kind of melon!

With the boss's signal, the people from the Ministry of Justice knew better when they acted. They started digging hard at the ancestral graves of the Su and Wu families!

So when a series of hard evidence was presented to their faces, the evildoer could not justify himself. Wu Guangmao and Su Shaofang, the father-in-law and son-in-law, both changed their expressions in fear.

"Sir, I am innocent..."

Apart from dry cries of injustice, they really couldn't find any serious words of rebuttal.

Wan Yuzhi was stunned by this sudden news. She felt dizzy and her whole body was cold and shaking violently.

Her family was destroyed by this heartless man? It was destroyed by a blind married woman like her?

Looking at the still gentle and elegant face in front of her, which suddenly turned into a green-faced and fanged evil ghost, Wan Yuzhi wished she could eat his flesh and sleep on his skin!

She pounced on him at a speed beyond what a pregnant woman should have, and reached out to grab the pair of eyes that had been so affectionate to her in the past! After the other party dodged it very quickly, her five fingers fell on his face, fiercely grabbing a few strands of flesh.

"what!"

Su Shaofang cried out in pain after his face was scratched.

Never underestimate a woman whose rage of hatred has overwhelmed her rationality. How ruthless can she be to her enemy? Those four bloody scars will definitely make this heartless person lose her official position and career!
