The Anarchic Consort Novel - Chapter 491
Chapter 491: The Upcoming Ultimate Move
“That was not what they said previously!” Chen Liang who was standing in the crowd clenched his fists. He honestly did not understand. They were the ones who looked for Boss and pleaded to be justified. However, they were also the ones who put Boss in a difficult position now!
Don’t they know that the whole case will be overturned after saying that? Boss will also be overpowered by that Liao!
The handsome face of Little Seventh Prince had turned grave too. He squinted his tiger-like eyes as if he was prepared to start a fight, given any changes happened!
The hall had given way to an uproar due to the sudden change in the witnesses’ statements.
“Out of the three families, two had admitted that they had framed Old Master Yan. Seeing this, it’s very likely that Old Man Liu had lied.”
“Who knows? I think these things would not be possible if it was one-sided. Look at that Liu girl. She’s so seductive at this young age. Maybe she was the one that initiated the move!”
“Previously, when Old Master Yan had bought grains from their family, Old Man Liu did not overreact. Now that the harvest is bad, this incident surfaced. It’s definitely a scheme!”
Mockeries and insults were like an ocean of waves targeted at the father and daughter of the Liu family.
Liu Yin’s eyes were red upon hearing the comments. Her whole body was shaking. She could feel the chill sprouting from the bottom of her heart.
Could it be that it was usually the case in everyone’s eyes?
She still could not forget the first time when she was dragged to the Yan Manor. She tried so hard to escape from that place, staking her life on the line. Even now, she would still have nightmares at night, dreaming about that day.
If Lord Wei and Private Advisor Long had not appeared, her whole life would definitely be ruined!
She was clearly the victim. Why would everyone find fault in the girls instead of punishing the heinous perpetrator, whenever something like this happened!
Was this what justice and righteousness meant?
Then she would rather not have it!
This was the first time Liu Yin felt so helpless. As she was about to give up, an indolent and clear voice rang in her ears, “Folks, you speak of things so harshly. Aren’t you afraid that one day when your daughters were harassed, they would be insulted and ridiculed as well?”
Helian Wei Wei’s words were like a silencer in the crowd.
In a blink of an eye, the ones that were criticizing the Liu family all sealed their mouths. They then exchanged glances among themselves.
They quickly averted their gazes, but embarrassment was more or less shown on their faces.
Nonetheless, there were some that were obstinate, “If I had a daughter like that, I would have strangled her the moment she was born, so she wouldn’t embarrass me in the future!”
“Then, I do feel sorry for your daughter,” Helian Wei Wei set her gaze on that person, “Even animals know that they shouldn’t harm their children. You, on the other hand, not mentioning the fact that you wouldn’t help your daughter, you even want to rub salt on her wounds if she were to be bullied. Well done!”
Upon hearing what Helian Wei Wei said, everyone turned to look at that person.
The person in question turned red, but still persisted, “That, that’s because she did a shameless deed!”
“I clearly understood the character of Liu Yin. The case is not finalized yet but you ran your mouth,” Helian Wei Wei gave a cold laugh, “What motive do you possess?”
Magistrate Liao who had paid the villagers to spread rumors was worried that he would be exposed. Thus, he stopped Helian Wei Wei from continuing, “Lord Wei, you are thinking too much. The villagers were just giving their opinions, but you take them so seriously. Indeed, some people look honest on the outside but are actually involved in some dirty businesses.” As he said this, Magistrate Liao glanced at Yan Dazhao, “Yan Dazhao, let me ask you. Did Liu Yin say anything to you privately?”
“Every time she followed her dad to the Yan Manor to deliver grains, she would dress very inappropriately, always looking at me,” Old Master Yan pretended to sigh deeply, “Forget about it. I have seen many whores who expect a monument of their chastity. I don’t want to be on the same page as them…”
“You’re lying!” Liu Yin could not take it anymore. She charged toward Old Master Yan as if she had gone mad. She just wanted to die together with the world’s most disgusting scum!
Nevertheless, before she managed to reach Old Master Yan, the yamen runners blocked her!
Yan Dazhao was beyond surprise, genuinely worried that she would scratch him. He scolded coldly, “Crazy woman.” He then held up his head to look at the imperial officials that were present for the interrogation, “My lords, you must do me justice. Someone had come up to testify that they had framed me, but Lord Wei only believes in this woman. Haha, who knows if he was bewitched…”
With that, Yan Dazhao had clearly conveyed his meaning. He was implying that there was something between Helian Wei Wei and Liu Yin!
“Yan Dazhao!” Liu Yin knew how nasty this man was, yet she never thought that he would be that despicable!
Lord Wei only wanted to do her justice, but he dared to mislead everyone to think something was going on between her and Lord Wei!
Even though she had not studied much, Liu Yin knew that if everyone believed him, although she could die to prove her innocence, it would completely ruin Lord Wei’s future!
Were the imperial officials from the provincial capitals all blind?
It was obvious that Yan Dazhao was the one with a testimony that could not stand scrutiny. Why did they not stop it? Instead, they just let him frame Lord Wei!
Yan Dazhao turned to look at Liu Yin. His eyes were gleaming with delight and scorn, “Even though this girl had tried to win my favor, if Lord Wei liked her, I would let you have her. Why is Lord Wei making things difficult for me?”
“You!” Liu Yin was still young after all. In addition, no matter who it was, anyone would be apoplectic with rage if the truth was overturned. Liu Yin was furious that she felt dizzy!
Magistrate Liao was contented when he saw this. He sat on his seat and casually drank his tea.
The imperial officials from the other provincial capitals did not speak as well. They let Yan Dazhao defend himself in court.
Their thoughts were simple. Was there even any need to judge such cases?
It was just a farm girl who was wronged and unwilling to be the mistress of Yan Dazhao.
They only needed to ask Yan Dazhao to offer her more money later on, and everything would be settled.
This Wei guy just had to make such a big fuss. He should check his reflection in the mirror.
They never liked subordinates that had no manners. Coincidentally, it was a good chance to give him a warning, so he would not always get ahead of himself.
He thought he had the capability, but in the end, he was still suppressed by Magistrate Liao.
Ha, after this Wei has fallen, maybe there would be a possibility again to build the roads.
They could not go back empty-handed. They at least had to show some results to the governor.
However, Governor Chen who was standing in the crowd was beyond distress…
