First Wife of Zhu Family

Chapter 354 A Man's Confession

... "Young Madam, you didn't see it!" Yuanyuan said, his eyes were shining brightly, "That Jingsi girl was impassioned, so happy, Huo Yuanwai was speechless and ashamed when she questioned her... It's not that making noise in the courtroom is not allowed, the slaves couldn't help but want to applaud her!"

Du Rongzhi couldn't help being overwhelmed by Yuanyuan's recitation of Jingsi's words, and after a long while, she sighed softly, "This Jingsi is really a strange woman who does not stick to the world... I don't know that this loyal slave Huo Ma'am, what kind of demeanor was it when you were alive?"

Yuanyuan nodded, not paying attention to the daze in Du Rongzhi's tone, and continued to dance with joy, "Mrs. Huo is also an amazing woman! You don't know, many of the people who are hearing outside today have received the favor of Mrs. Huo, and some even It was because of Mrs. Huo’s good deeds that she survived. After hearing the whole story of Mrs. Gu’s murder of Mrs. Huo, everyone hated her so much that they all begged the Lord to punish Gu and Yuanwai Huo severely!”

Du Rongzhi thought for a while, and said coldly, "Mr. Gu's murder of the mistress's mother-in-law and son-in-law should be punished. As for Huo Yuliang...Although all tragedies were caused by him, there is no law in this world that prohibits men Love the new and dislike the old, three wives and four concubines... can only take advantage of him."

"Young madam is right. I have already sentenced Mrs. Gu to be beheaded... There is no punishment for Mr. Huo." Yuan Yuan frowned and recalled, "However, the servant girl's eyes were red just now when she saw Mr. Huo in the hall. It seems that I am very regretful..."

Du Rongzhi hooked her lips coldly, "In this world, the most worthless thing is a man's confession." She sneered, "Just wait and see. Before long, he will marry another wife and have children, and continue to live. His free life. Whether Mrs. Huo or Mrs. Gu, it's just a fleeting moment in his life..."

Yuanyuan didn't know, so he echoed earnestly, "I know... even the storyteller in the teahouse said that since ancient times, men have been unlucky!"

Qing He glared at her angrily.

The young lady is already negative enough... This stinky girl is still here lest the world will not be chaotic!
But I heard Du Rongzhi ponder, "What about Jingsi? How did the master judge?"

Yuan Yuan shook his head, "My lord said that this case involves an old case, and the victim committed a homicide, so the circumstances are special...so a retrial was scheduled for three days later."

Du Rongzhi nodded slightly, pursed her lips and said, "I taught you those words..."

Yuan Yuan smiled and said, "Young Madam, don't worry, the slaves have told everything... In fact, even if the slaves don't say anything, everyone is grateful for the kindness of the Young Madam, and admires Miss Jingsi's righteous deeds, and will not bear to see her being severely punished... Everyone I beg my grandfather to show mercy and release Miss Jingsi..."

"His crime is unforgivable, and his feelings are pitiful..." Du Rongzhi said with emotion, "But it is impossible to come out with all the beard and tail..."

As she was speaking, there was another knock on the door.

Du Rongzhi frowned.

Qing He was also slightly surprised, "The servant girl clearly said not to be disturbed by others..."

Du Rongzhi said lightly, "Go and see who it is."

"Yes." Qing He walked to the door quickly, and just opened the door, she couldn't help being startled, "You..."

Outside the door, Mrs. He smiled, "When I came in just now, I happened to see Miss Yuanyuan going upstairs. I thought Mrs. Song was here, so I came here to pay a special visit... I hope the girl will pass it on for me..."

Madam He's voice was not high, but it was enough for Du Rongzhi in the room to hear, she smiled softly, "Qing He, hurry up and ask Madam He to come in and talk."

Qing He turned sideways quickly, and respectfully welcomed Mrs. He in.

Mrs. He said with a polite smile, "Miss, I'm in trouble." Then she led the girl into the private seat.

Du Rongzhi couldn't help laughing, "I saw that the weather is good today, so I went out for a walk... I don't want to meet Mrs. He here because of such a fate."

Mrs. He bowed to her, and said hesitantly, "Don't dare to lie to Mrs.... Actually, just now, the woman lied."

Du Rongzhi was taken aback, and looked at her coldly.She had been with Song Zixun for a long time, and they had a subtle influence on each other. He was a little more easy-going than before, but she was a little more majestic, and there was a dignified attitude in every gesture, which made people feel awe.

Mrs. He pursed her lips uncomfortably, "Mrs. Song, forgive me..." She whispered, "Actually, the woman didn't meet the girl from Yuanyuan just now...but, she came from the same place as the girl... "

Du Rongzhi raised her eyebrows with a half-smile, "Why is Mrs. He also interested in the tragic death of the Huo family's maid?"

"That's right." Mrs. He nodded, and said seriously, "Not only is the woman very interested in this case, but she also knows what Mrs. Song wants." She paused, and said in a low voice, "The woman today is exactly came for this."

"Oh?" The smile on Du Rongzhi's face was even stronger, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, "Mrs. He might as well tell me, what do I want?"

Mrs. He pondered for a moment, then said cautiously, "Before the women saw the Yuanyuan girl mingling in the crowd, all their words made everyone feel grateful for Mrs. Huo's kindness, and sympathized with Jingsi girl's experience... The women knew that, Song Madam's thinking is the same as that of civilian women."

Du Rongzhi glanced at Yuanyuan lightly, "I'm afraid Mrs. He has misunderstood." She covered her lips and smiled, "I'm spoiled by this girl, and she has a wild temper. I just asked her to go to Zhengji to buy some snacks. She actually sneaked to the county government office to watch our master judge the case... I just scolded her for this!"

Yuanyuan didn't expect that he was too high-profile today and was being watched by others, his face flushed immediately, and he knelt on the ground with a "plop", "I know my mistake, please forgive me, young lady..."

Mrs. He pursed her lips, knowing that Du Rongzhi refused to admit it, she could only say, "Then maybe the women are wrong..."

Du Rongzhi nodded and smiled, "Of course it is."

Mrs. He gritted her teeth, "It doesn't matter whether what Miss Yuancai said just now came from her heart, or someone ordered her to speak up for a poor man, she is very admirable to women."

After Madam He finished speaking, she did not give Du Rongzhi a chance to refute, and continued, "The woman has known Mrs. Huo for many years, and she is very clear about the character of that girl. The woman thinks that she has done a very good job Courageous, amazing."

Du Rongzhi looked at her coldly for a few moments, until Mrs. He was about to retreat, only to see a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, and said softly, "What are you guys doing so stupidly? Mrs. He has been here for so long , don’t hurry to ask her to sit down and talk.”

Yuanyuan reacted in a hurry, got up from the ground quickly, invited Mrs. He to sit down with Qing He, and poured tea for her at the same time, the atmosphere instantly relaxed.

Mrs. He herself breathed a sigh of relief, and said apologetically, "The women also know that it was a bit abrupt to come to you this time... I hope Madam will forgive me."

Du Rongzhi smiled disapprovingly, "Actually, in retrospect, it was Madam He who told me about Mrs. Huo when I first heard about it... You two have a good personal relationship?"

Mrs. He nodded, and sighed, "The woman and Hui Jun have known each other for many years... When I heard that she passed away in dystocia, I was secretly sad for a long time." Her eyes were red, and she clenched her handkerchief tightly, "Who would have thought that I didn't know until today?" , All of this is actually the trick of that bitch Gu! She framed Mr. Hui, but she even killed their mother and child, she deserves death!"

Du Rongzhi played with the tea cup in his hand calmly, without saying a word.

"The woman came here today, just to tell Madam..." Mrs. He didn't expect to get her answer, but said solemnly, "The woman has known Hui Jun for many years, and not only deeply respects her as a person, but also respects her. As if I were my own sister... Today I heard that Huijun was murdered by an adulterer, Jingsi took revenge for the Lord, and was imprisoned. The women only feel that they have no responsibilities. When they go back today, the women will find the wives who built Yizhuang back then to jointly petition ——I just hope Master Song can be lenient with Jingsi girl, and give her a lighter punishment!"

Du Rongzhi was silent for a while, then Fang sighed softly, "Madam He is so generous, it is really a blessing to meditate."
