Chapter 345

Now that the truth has been revealed, won't she follow in Luo Sheng's footsteps and be ruthlessly abandoned by Xie Yun and Old Madam Xie?

Xie Ying was thinking when she suddenly sensed that Xie Yi, Xie Xin and Xie Jia were approaching.

She was surprised in her heart, but she remained expressionless and continued to watch the show.

Sure enough, the three were brought to court soon.

Because Xie Jia was still an unmarried young lady, she wore a veil.

This veil was not specially prepared for her by the people in the yamen. She was wearing it on her head when she was driven out by the people in Cheng'en Mansion.

Although the people in the yamen disdained her behavior, they did not dare to be too rude to her, a young lady.

So when she was brought into the hall, her veil was still on.

When Chen Fang saw her three children being brought into the room, her defenses were instantly broken.

She glared at those people in anger: "What are you doing? Even if Yi'er was slandered by these wicked slaves and needs to go to court, what did the other two do wrong? Why did you bring them here as well?"

Unexpectedly, the other party had already thought of an excuse, and upon hearing this, he refuted with confidence: "Xie Xin openly attacked the official! As for your daughter, she is a young lady, and it is unsafe for her to return home alone.

And wasn't she kidnapped by kidnappers not long ago? We brought her back to ask about the kidnappers so we can catch them and prevent them from harming people again."

After a pause, he continued, "Don't worry, Madam Xie. We have already sent someone to invite Mr. Pei. I believe he will be brought here soon."

Now, Chen Fang's face looked even uglier.

She twisted her fingers hard, constantly thinking of countermeasures, fearing that Xie Jia and Pei Rong's elopement would be exposed.

What she didn't know was that the yamen runner's words about sending someone to invite Pei Rong were just a deliberate lie to her.

Although Minister Zhou had already guessed the truth, he did not intend to expose it.

After all, this elopement concerns a woman's reputation.

Unless the Xie family sued Pei Rong for eloping with the Xie family's daughter.

Otherwise, if this matter were to be exposed, and Miss Xie hanged herself in anger, wouldn't he be in trouble for no reason?

Anyway, she was probably going to marry Pei Rong, so why should he do this?

So he only interrogated Xie Yi about how he framed the maid Qiuxiang and beat her to death.

Xie Yi wanted to quibble, but all the servants present at the time were brought up to testify. How could he still quibble?

Minister Zhou slammed the gavel and pronounced the sentence: "Xie Yi unjustly killed the maid Qiuxiang. He shall be caned 60 times and sentenced to one year's imprisonment!"

When Chen Fang heard this, she immediately collapsed to the ground: "No - you can't do this - Yi'er is innocent -"

Chen Fang knelt on the ground and crawled all the way to Xie Yi, pleading with tears in her eyes, "That's not the case! I had that girl beaten to death, it has nothing to do with my son!"

"Sir, I am willing to plead guilty. Please be discerning and do not implicate my son! I was the one who had her beaten to death. It has nothing to do with my son! Please be fair!"

Minister Zhou was deeply moved when he saw her defending her son like this.

But when he thought of the maid who died tragically, and Luo Sheng who died tragically in the delivery room that year, he couldn't help but shake his head in his heart.

"Ms. Chen, your servants have confessed. It was Xie Yi who ordered Qiuxiang to be dragged away and beaten with fifty sticks. She was severely injured and died that night..."

As soon as he said this, Chen Fang argued, "Yes, Yi'er did have someone beat her, but she wasn't beaten to death. It was me...I secretly got up at night and suffocated her to death myself!"

So it wasn't Yi'er who had her beaten to death, it was me... I killed her with my own hands! And it was me who forbade anyone from calling a doctor to treat her. Master Zhou, if you want to punish someone, punish me, don't implicate my son!"

Minister Zhou looked at her deeply, then looked at Xie Yi: "Xie Yi, is that so?"

Xie Yi was torn between his conscience and his desires.

If he admitted that he had Qiuxiang beaten to death, he would be beaten with sixty sticks and exiled for one year.
