"In the court, you are not allowed to make such noise and be so presumptuous." The old lady of the Su family turned pale with fright. She didn't know when all these people were bribed. Now she is
Having fallen into a dragnet set by others, there is almost no possibility of escape.
For these people, the words had almost been changed a long time ago, and each one of them identified her as a vicious old woman who failed to fight for property and poisoned her daughter-in-law.
Now, it seems that she can only resign herself to her fate.
During the interrogation that followed for more than an hour, she almost lost the strength to defend herself, and her body was weak. She knelt for a long time, feeling dazed and swaying. There were bursts of noise in her ears. After the noise, she fell into a deathly state.
There was silence, and someone slowly seemed to be walking towards her. When she opened her eyes, she couldn't quite see who that person was. She could only hear one sentence: "This is retribution."
"No, don't!" She convulsed, only to find that she was already in a prison, surrounded by darkness and only dim candlelight dancing. It turned out that she had fainted and was just dreaming.
"Here comes someone, here comes someone." She was shouting outside the door. After a while, a jailer came over and looked at her coldly: "What do you call her at night?"
"Let me out, I was wronged." She shouted sternly.
But the jailer gave her a cold side glance: "Once you enter this place, don't even think about leaving."
The old lady of the Su family asked alertly: "What, what do you mean?"
"In court, you signed and confessed to the poisoning of your daughter-in-law. You were sentenced to death in court. Don't say you can't remember. This is death row. Mrs. Su, please be more patient and live in peace.
Just spend the rest of your days here."
"What, death row? I signed and signed, how could I sign and sign?"
"You have to ask yourself, can the signatures you personally sign and the pledges you draw be fake? You are too lazy to care about you, a prisoner on death row, and you are wasting my time. Stop yelling, otherwise don't blame me for not respecting the elderly and caring for the young."
"How is it possible? How is it possible? You must have made a mistake. I didn't kill her at all. It was a trap. It was a trap. She set me up. She put the poison herself. Stop, stop. Come back. I want to
See my son, my son, my son..."

"Hiss!" Su Jinyuan in the Su Mansion had a deep frown on his face. He sat helpless at the desk, picked up a pen and wrote something, but then tore it into pieces. Suddenly, there was a pain in his heart, and he gasped.
"Husband, what's wrong?"
Tang Meng stepped forward and brought a cup of hot tea.
Su Jinyuan shook his head: "Go and call Jinyu."
"Husband, please drink some tea first. You haven't had any tea or rice for the whole day. I will send someone to call my fourth brother now."
Tang Meng ordered the maid to call Su Jinyu, and turned around to look at Su Jinyu, who had no master and a sad look on his face. He felt pity for a while: "Husband, you should eat something first. If you continue like this, your body will not be able to bear it."
Su Jinyuan's brows tightened: "Please let me calm down."
"But husband, if you don't eat or drink like this, how can you still have the energy to defend your mother-in-law? You should at least eat something and drink some water. I'm really worried about you like this."
"I said let me calm down."
He knew that Tang Meng was doing it for his own good, but at this time, Tang Meng's voice was undoubtedly noisy, and the noise made Su Jinyuan angry.
With a roar, Tang Mengxian's eyes turned red, probably because he felt aggrieved.
Su Jinyuan didn't mean to comfort him, he just said: "Go out first and leave me alone."
Tang Meng's tears were about to fall, but she resisted and didn't want to offend Su Jinyuan any more. Nuonuo responded and turned around, bumping into Su Jinyu at the door. Su Jinyu blurted out without even thinking: "You don't have eyes."
you."
Su Jinyu had been arrogant since he was a child, and he had always looked down upon the poor relatives of his mother's family. Although Tang Meng was his brother's concubine, she was an aunt, and he didn't take it seriously at all.
Tang Meng felt more and more aggrieved, but comforted herself that the two brothers were acting like this because they were in a bad mood. She stepped aside, and Su Jinyu strode in without even looking at her.
"Brother, what should we do now?"
"The only way is probably to go to the palace and ask eldest sister."
"I think this is the only way. Without further ado, brother, let's enter the palace early tomorrow morning."
"I'm just afraid that I'm dragging down my eldest sister. She finally regained her position."
"Nothing is more important than my mother's life. If there was no mother, there would be no eldest sister at all. Brother, why do you think my mother would do such a thing? I don't believe that my mother would be so stupid to poison that person so blatantly.
woman."
"But the witnesses and physical evidence are all there, and my mother even signed and signed it herself."
"Mother signed and stamped her name. Maybe she was beaten into a crime. We didn't see it with our own eyes, did we?"
Su Jinyu's suspicion was not unreasonable. Su Jinyuan stood up with a heavy look on his face: "You will come to the palace early tomorrow morning, and I will go see my mother."
"Well, okay, brother, what if the eldest sister refuses to help?"
"It's not like the eldest sister won't help. If the eldest sister refuses to help, there is only one possibility. Someone will not allow her to help."
"Who?" Su Jinyu asked.
Su Jinyuan asked: "Who are you talking about?"
Su Jinyu was startled and then understood.
His eldest sister is just a concubine at best. She can gain or lose favor only at the emperor's whim. If the emperor does not allow her to get involved in such unfavorable things in the family, his eldest sister will be powerless no matter how much she wants to help.
There are really too many things that Su Jinyu can't understand about this matter. Not only did her mother poison Su Li so blatantly, but the little nuns in the court seemed to have made a good confession.
It seemed like all the fingers were pointed at his mother, and even Mr. Guan gave people the impression that he was deliberately trying to help Su Jinye.
But he thought that even if someone deliberately wanted to frame her mother, why would they risk Su Li's life? Moreover, Su Li drank the bowl of porridge herself and no one forced her to do it. It seemed like her mother was deliberately trying to frame her.
There was poison in the porridge bowl, trying to poison Su Li.
He is a little confused now about what happened this morning. The nun in the nunnery said that the conflict arose because the old lady of the Su family asked Su Li for the property deed. He actually believed this. It was his mother's personality that caused the conflict.
things that come out.
But poisoning someone to kill someone was... somewhat beyond his expectation.
Yes, it's just unexpected. It's not that I don't believe it at all. After all, this is not the first time.
Thinking of this, Su Jinyu actually believed that his mother really killed someone.
