Chapter 146: Trial by Three Divisions 3

The people watching outside the hall were in commotion again.

"Quiet."

Han Qingyan shouted, and he looked at Song Moting who was kneeling on the ground and said, "You said that Xu committed suicide by taking poison, what's going on?"

Song Moting's face was filled with grief, he said: "She took poison because she felt guilty for causing Zhou's miscarriage.

In order to save her reputation, I announced to the public that she died of illness. After all, this was a family disgrace that should not be known to outsiders.

I just didn't expect that my daughter believed someone's rumors and actually thought that I was the one who killed Mrs. Xu. It really makes me sad."

He beat his chest, looking heartbroken.

Song Shiwei watched him quietly, with no expression on her face.

She snorted and said, "My mother is already dead, and you still want to throw dirty water on her. Do you think there is no evidence?"

She raised her head and said to Han Qingyan: "Sir, I have a witness. Please call her to the court to testify."

"pass."

Han Qingyan gave an order.

Soon, Nanny Feng came to the hall supported by Jingque.

She knelt on the ground and said, "I am Feng, a servant of the Xu family. Xu Miaoshu was brought up by me. We are like mother and daughter.

Song Moting is the son-in-law of the Xu family, but he and his wife have no feelings for each other, and the marriage was just a transaction.

After getting married, Song Moting gradually revealed his ambitions, and the master, who had always been in good health, suddenly passed away.

The lady had suspicions at the beginning, but there was no evidence. She felt that keeping Song Moting would be a disaster.

So she planned to divorce Song Moting, but unexpectedly, Song Moting's concubine Zhou suddenly had a miscarriage.

Song Moting insisted that it was his wife's fault and spread rumors that his wife was jealous.

Song Moting used this as an excuse to dismiss all of his wife's close associates, leaving only an old servant to take care of the young lady.

But less than half a year later, the lady, who had always been in good health, passed away suddenly like the master. The old servant saw her for the last time before she died.

It was the Madam who told me in person that it was Song Moting who harmed her.

After his wife died, Song Moting sentenced me to death on charges of theft and threw me into a mass grave.

Fortunately, the old slave was rescued and survived, but he could only hide his identity and linger on. However, this matter has always been a knot in the old slave's heart.

So the old slave secretly returned to the capital to find the young lady and told her what happened that year.

She became more and more excited as she spoke, tears streaming down her face as she said, "Every word I said is true. Please, sir, stand up for our lady and give her justice."

Song Moting was also surprised. This maid was clearly beaten to death with sticks, but he didn't expect that she was still alive.

He hurriedly said, "My lord, this servant is slandering me. She was kicked out of the mansion because of her dishonesty, and she made up these lies out of revenge."

"You beast."

Madam Feng scolded him: "If Madam hadn't taken you in, you would have starved to death on the street.

But not only are you ungrateful, you also murdered your wife and took the Xu family's property for yourself. Do you still have a conscience?"

Song Moting had already fed his conscience to the dogs. He was not afraid of Nanny Feng's curse at all and said, "Sir, this shrew is holding a grudge against me and is slandering me maliciously.

What she said is one-sided. What evidence do you have to prove that I murdered Xu?"

Nanny Feng choked. If she had evidence, she wouldn't have hidden for more than ten years.

However, the people who knew about the situation at that time had long been killed by Song Moting, so where was the evidence?

She looked at Song Shiwei anxiously.

Song Shiwei asked, "What happened to Zhou's miscarriage?"

"After Zhou drank the cup of tea handed to her by the Madam, she suffered from abdominal pain and lost the baby in her belly.

Song Moting insisted that it was the wife who was jealous and murdered Zhou's child. "

Aunt Feng cried and said, "If Madam was jealous, she would not have decided to let Song Moting bring Zhou to the mansion.

The so-called miscarriage was a conspiracy between Song Moting and Zhou, who used the unborn child to frame the wife and falsely accused her of being jealous.

They did this because they didn’t want the lady to file for divorce.”

"joke."

Song Moting retorted sharply: "Zhou is pregnant with my child, my son.

How could I kill my own son just to frame the Xu family?"

"Yes, it is precisely because Zhou is pregnant with your child that no one would suspect that you killed the child."

Song Shiwei glanced at Song Moting and spoke in a cold voice with a hint of sarcasm.

She said to the crowd, "My Lords, I have a witness."

Han Qingyan's eyes lit up. This case could be said to be an unsolved case because it had been going on for so long.

I don’t know where Song Shiwei found so many witnesses.

He restrained his thoughts and said, "Pass it on."

Everyone was looking forward to it, and then they saw the guards leading a woman wearing a veil hat towards them.

The person was kneeling on the ground, her face covered by a wide veil, she lowered her head and said nothing.

Han Qingyan asked: "Who is here? Tell me your name!"

The man slowly raised his head and spoke each word with great force: "Ms. Zhou, the wife of Marquis Cheng'en Song Moting!"

As she spoke, she took off the veil on her head, revealing Zhou's face.

On the stage, the Minister of Justice and the Censor-in-Chief were all shocked. They had all seen Zhou before, and she had just been buried yesterday.

Minister Wu stood up and pointed at her and asked, "You...are you a human or a ghost?"

Compared with these two adults, Song Moting was even more shocked.

He looked at Zhou who was kneeling beside him with horror, and was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.

What's going on? Isn't Zhou dead?

He checked it himself!

Zhou replied: "I am a human being, a living human being.

Song Moting, this beast, was afraid that I would expose his deeds, so he secretly poisoned me and wanted to kill me.

If it weren't for Shi Wei's secret help, I would have been like Xu, a ghost who died unjustly. "

Although Han Qingyan was also surprised, he did not lose his composure. He asked sternly, "What's going on?"

Song Shiwei stepped forward and said, “A month ago, Zhou asked me for help, saying that Song Moting wanted to kill her, and she told me that Song Moting was trying to murder my mother.

So I helped her fake her death and saved her from escaping from the Cheng En Marquis's residence, and Zhou knew a lot of Song Mo Ting's secrets."

Han Qingyan asked Zhou: "Why did Song Moting want to kill you?"

Zhou was a little excited, she said: "Some time ago, Jingniang brought her son to recognize her relatives, and Song Moting kept him.

I felt unwilling to accept the death of my own son, so I threatened Song Moting to kick them out, otherwise I would expose everything he had done.

It was because of this that he wanted to kill me and poisoned my ginseng soup.

The poison he used on me was the same one he used to poison Xu.

This poison is undetectable by ordinary doctors. It only takes three doses to cause a person to die quietly within half a year, just like a seriously ill person."
