Chapter 74 Can You Guarantee It Wasn't An Accident?
Shi Chunfen was imprisoned in her room, and Hongxing and Lutao were also imprisoned with her. The master and servant hugged each other and cried.
"Grandma, how did things become like this?" Hongxing asked in a twitchy voice: "We just left for a while, why did such a big thing happen? You want to beat them and tell us, how can you let you
How about doing it yourself?!"
Her last two sentences succeeded in making the equinox laugh.
But after laughing, she sighed again, "I haven't touched them at all. Do you believe it?"
It was said casually, and she didn't have much hope in her heart, but the two people looked at each other and nodded in unison, "We believe it."
Now it was Shichunfen's turn to be surprised, "Do you believe it?"
Lu Tao nodded and took the lead: "When I followed my grandma to attend the bonfire dinner, Miss Jiang once slandered me in front of the uncle, but the uncle ignored her at that time. He didn't expect that she was so courageous to act in a play.
Come to the County Lord’s Mansion.”
Hongxing said: "I don't know as much as you do, but I just think the whole thing is too coincidental. The eldest mistress wants to deal with them, but she won't deal with them sooner or later, and she has to deal with them when we are not around... plus
Grandma is usually so kind to us, and she doesn't seem like someone who would be jealous and hateful. I don't believe you would hurt them so hard."
The two of them spoke so seriously that Shi Chunfen felt sour in her heart, "Even you all know the truth, but the uncle and the county chief don't believe it."
"Grandma, don't be too desperate." Lu Tao comforted: "The county chief said that a thorough investigation will be needed before a conclusion can be made. Maybe she will find out that you are innocent by then?"
"Impossible." Shi Chunfen smiled bitterly, "There were no witnesses in the house at that time, and the people outside the house would only hear the illusion they carefully created. Unless the county lord and uncle believe me unconditionally like you do, in the end I will
I just can’t explain myself.”
These words were a very realistic analysis of the situation in front of her, and Hongxing and Lutao were silent for a while.
They had seen Jiang Ya and Kong Youlian's injuries with their own eyes. If Shi Chunfen could not produce other evidence, the matter would indeed be very difficult.
Also distressed like them was Chu Ling, who was listening to the patrolling guard in the mansion report what had happened. The more he listened, the tighter his frown became.
The Lord of Huating County looked at him coldly and said calmly: "You have also heard what happened. Kong Youlian did not say this alone. There were many patrols who heard her and Jiang Ya's screams at that time. There can't be so many
People have united to wrongly accuse your wife."
"Ha!" Chu Ling sneered, with a look of disdain, "Maybe the two of them deliberately created the illusion to achieve this effect."
The head of Huating County frowned, "Do you think they will use their appearance and life to frame your wife? What grudge does Shi Chunfen have against them? Is it worth it for them to do this?"
Chu Ling looked at her and said tepidly: "Don't underestimate a woman's jealousy. If Spring Equinox can take the position of the eldest mistress of the Chu family, there are many people who want to pull her down with their lives."
Does this mean we have to protect her indiscriminately?
The mayor of Huating County laughed in anger, "Can you be more objective and look at more evidence?"
Chu Ling looked calm, "My child is too objective, so he clearly knows that Chun Equinox is not someone who would do such a thing. On the contrary, Kong Youlian and Jiang Ya are not good friends."
One forced him to get married at a bonfire dinner, which almost caused him to fall into trouble;
The other Ninja hasn't made any moves until now. Thinking about it, you know it's not easy.
When these two people get together and say that they were bullied by Shi Chunquin, only a ghost would believe it!
The head of Huating County choked. She also knew that the impression of the two people in front of Chu Ling was too bad. She didn't know what to say for a moment. She was silent for a long time and said calmly: "Just pretend that your suspicion is right.
Equinox will not intentionally hurt them, but what about accidents? Can you guarantee that Jiang Ya's injuries were not caused by accidents?"
These words made Chu Ling narrow his eyes, and his usually calm face finally showed some waves.
It was precisely because he did not rule out the possibility of an accident that he could only watch Shi Chunquin being placed under house arrest.
The County Lord's Mansion is not a man of words. Even if he believes that Shi Chunquin would not do such a thing, he cannot deny all the evidence in front of him, and the key point that these evidences point to is that the accident is the most likely.
Shi Chunfen is not such a vicious person, and Jiang Ya is not willing to risk her life to slander someone. So the most likely reason is that during their dispute, Shi Chunfen accidentally pushed Jiang Ya into what she is now.
Although Chu Ling didn't care about Jiang Ya's life or death, Kong Youlian was right. They were the daughters of the county lord's soldiers. No matter what happened, the county lord's mansion could not pretend to be deaf and mute and pretend that nothing happened.
, this will not only disappoint the Huating Army, but they themselves will also look down on themselves.
I don't know how long the silence lasted before Chu Ling spoke with difficulty, "Even if it was an accident, the whole thing is not the fault of the Equinox. How can the dignified young lady of the Chu family be held responsible for an accident?"
The head of Huating County raised his eyebrows, "She can be irresponsible, but what about you? Do you also plan to turn a blind eye to the tragic situation of Jiang Ya and Kong Youlian?"
Chu Ling's face darkened, and a terrifying aura emitted from his body, "Mom wants to force me to marry them two again?"
"I won't force you." The head of Huating County said calmly: "It depends on your own conscience and the long-term opinions of the Huating soldiers. It cannot be covered up by an accident."
Chu Ling fell silent, his face uglier than ever. He stood up and said coldly: "Kong Youlian once plotted against me in public. Letting her in means that our Chu family is a joke."
"What about Jiang Ya?" the head of Huating County asked: "She didn't do anything."
Chu Ling took a long step and walked out, "Let's wait until she wakes up."
Seeing his solemn back, the subordinate next to him spoke at the right time, "Congratulations to the county master for getting what he wanted. The eldest son's words are a tacit admission that he will be responsible for Miss Jiang."
However, the head of Huating County couldn't laugh. He slapped him in the face, "What are you doing? I asked you not to be too harsh. One of them is disfigured, and the other's life or death is uncertain. Doesn't this force me to be a bad person?"
The man covered his cheek and knelt down quickly, "County Lord, spare your life! Kong Youlian is indeed too harsh on us, but Jiang Ya's matter really has nothing to do with us. When we went in, she had already fallen to the ground unconscious.
, we had no time to do anything, she had already knocked herself down to the point where she only had half a life left."
"What?" Even the head of Huating County was a little shocked this time, "Did she really attack me so harshly?"
"This is absolutely true." The man said with a sad face: "If I had known that she would be so willing, we wouldn't have to take action at all, and the eldest son would believe it."
