Fragrant willow catkins

Chapter 71 Why should I?

"I didn't kill anyone. The child was entrusted to me by his mother before she died. I'm a virgin and I wouldn't do the things a human trafficker does." Miss Luo returned to her indifferent attitude.

Young Master Xiao rolled his eyes and said, "You lie so easily. Everyone in the village knows that you are an outsider. You approached my wife with a purpose as soon as you entered the village. You saw that she was suffering from hysteria and was pregnant, so you wanted to have a child."

Miss Luo: "I have a purpose? You can ask Chen the midwife yourself. Madam had a difficult delivery, but you threatened her outside the delivery room, saying that if she didn't go back with you this time, she would never see the child again! Even if it was good, Madam had a hemorrhage right after the child was born, and the bleeding couldn't be stopped. At that moment, she was still worried that the child would be like you and do all kinds of evil things in the future! That's why she entrusted the child to me! You know best what kind of shit you did!"

Miss Luo became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and her tone became heavier and heavier. If there hadn't been two midwives between them, everyone was worried that she would just go over and tear Young Master Xiao into pieces.

Naturally, her words attracted the attention of Lord Wang. As for the two words "raping women" and "doing all kinds of evil", he had to ask more questions.

Lord Wang: "Miss Luo, what do you mean? Please explain it more clearly."

Miss Luo: "Your Excellency, after I met Madam in the village, Madam told me that she was raped by Young Master Xiao and wanted to keep the peace, so she was forced to marry into the Xiao family! And after the marriage, Young Master Xiao was still lustful and spent his days in debauchery, and even abused Madam after she became pregnant! Madam couldn't bear it anymore, so she ran away from home, but she didn't expect to be found by that bastard!"

Rape, lust, domestic violence.

These words made several people present frown.

The Tianle Dynasty had been reformed by the Empress Dowager for many years, and these incidents were almost non-existent in the capital city closest to the emperor.

Lord Wang: "Mr. Xiao, is what Miss Luo said true?"

Master Xiao: "Sir, you also know that my wife has hysteria. What she thinks in her head is different from that of ordinary people. I was worried that she would be in danger outside, so I kept a tight control on her. Who knew she would be so rebellious."

The Xiao family servants also echoed, "Yes, sir, my wife has had hysteria since she was a child. Fortunately, my young master never left her. The world can witness his love for his wife!"

“Heh…heh…” Miss Luo was so angry at the shamelessness of these two people that she gasped, “If we talk about shamelessness, it has to be your family.”

Young Master Xiao looked at Miss Luo with a confident look on his face, "Miss Luo, you and my wife are just casual acquaintances. Why are you so sure that what my wife said is true? You have been deceived by her hysteria!"

"Why should I be sure?"

"Oh, why should I..."

"Because I'm her sister! My biological sister!"

"You are a heartless thing. My Du family has been good to your Xiao family, right? You just hit my sister with the abacus beads. How could I not know whether my sister has hysteria since childhood?" Miss Luo looked at Master Xiao angrily, her body straight, and the momentum of a woman was at its peak at this moment.

Young Master Xiao didn't believe that his carefully prepared words would be exposed like this. He stared at Miss Luo. How could he not have guessed that it was impossible for someone to agree to take care of each other's orphans after only spending a dozen days together?

But he would not admit to the crime. He had been safe and sound even when he was at the peak of his fame. How could a local government in Linyang City interfere in an old case from several years ago, especially since they had resolved it privately at that time?

Master Xiao: "Miss Luo, this is just your one-sided statement. Who here can be sure that my wife has a sister? And who can prove that it is you? Just because you are an aunt, you can't take my child away at will, right? In the end, this child should return to the Xiao family with me."

Miss Luo: "Well, since you said so, how can you prove that the lady who gave birth in the village is your wife? If you can't prove that the child is not yours!"

Master Xiao: "Why can't I prove it? My servant went with me to pick up my wife that day. He also saw the body. It was my wife!"

The servant knelt down immediately after receiving the look in his eyes, "Sir! I can testify that it was indeed my young mistress who gave birth that day! This child is indeed my young master's. As for the second young lady of the Du family, I have never even seen her."

Miss Luo: “You!”

Lord Wang: "Miss Luo, do you have any witnesses or physical evidence to prove that you are the second daughter of the Du family?"

Miss Luo looked at Lord Wang in embarrassment. She had to rush out this time and brought nothing with her except for the money. How could she find the evidence?

She looked at Chen Wenpo with hope, but Chen Wenpo looked helpless.

She could only prove that Miss Luo and Madam had a good relationship, but no one had told her that they were sisters. It would be better if more people from the village came...

Master Xiao: "My lord, you see, she has no evidence at all. She is just a fake! She is just looking for an excuse to steal the child! I think this woman is not very smart, she might be a lunatic! My lord, you can't let a lunatic take care of the child!"

Miss Luo lowered her head helplessly, and in response, Master Xiao smiled triumphantly.

The courtroom was silent for only a moment before a bright voice came from the doorway, "I can testify for Miss Luo!"

I saw a young man approaching the court with determination and kneeling down beside Miss Luo. "Sir, I can testify for Miss Luo. When I was in the village, the lady did tell me about her relationship with Miss Luo and also mentioned that she wanted to give the child to Miss Luo to raise."

Miss Luo was very shocked when she saw the young man, and whispered, "Why are you here?"

The young man looked up at her gently, "It's okay."

Lord Wang: "Young man, do you know that you will be beheaded if you give false testimony?"

The young man was very determined, "Your Excellency, I am not afraid! Also, these are the confessions of the villagers, all of them have their fingerprints stamped on them!" The young man took out a stack of papers from his arms, which were covered with densely written words.

The guard handed the confession to Lord Wang, who reviewed it and handed it to the Third Master.

Master Xiao saw that something was not right and jumped out in a hurry, "Sir! Even if she is really the child's aunt, I am the father here. How can I let a woman take care of the child alone? It's hard for her to protect the child!"

Miss Luo: "So what if I'm a woman? There are so many capable women nowadays! All of them are better than a playboy like you! You raped first and then committed domestic violence, so this child cannot be given to you!"

Lord Wang looked a little embarrassed, "This..."

He read the young man's confession and found that Miss Luo was indeed the lady's sister, but the matter of the young master of the Xiao family remained to be verified.
