Chapter 455
Beating the drum to complain? !
Master Cheng's surprised eyes fell on Xiuqin again, and he narrowed his eyes slightly. So, this ugly woman in front of him sued him?
Mrs. Cheng also stared at Xiuqin, and frowned fiercely when she saw her brows and eyes. For some reason, she always felt that the person in front of her seemed familiar...

But if she had really seen such... such a person, she should have left a deep impression on her!

I was wondering in my heart, but I saw the other party put his hands on the ground, kowtowed firmly, and what he said was heart-shattering, "Minister Xiuqin, I sued the Cheng family couple today to seek justice for my lady. ..."

As soon as she said a few words, the Cheng family and his wife froze in shock.

Xiuqin? !

She said she was Xiuqin!
The faces of the two were shocked, and they couldn't react for a moment. Is this Xiuqin the one they knew...

Xiuqin was still going on, she raised her head, her eyes were slightly red, but her tone was firm, "Your Excellency may not know that the young lady mentioned by the Minnv is none other than Cheng Wan, the young lady of the Cheng family who died 13 years ago!"

At this time, the onlookers who were eating melons also widened their eyes in surprise.

They may not know who Xiuqin is, but they have indeed heard of the name of Miss Cheng Wan!

It was after Cheng Wan's death that the Cheng Mansion in South Lane began to lose, and there were rumors of being haunted.

It was because I heard it that I was shocked!

This Cheng Wan has been dead for more than ten years, why did her maid suddenly appear and sue her parents?

I often heard that Cheng's mansion is haunted by ghosts, and it's because of the evil spirits of Miss Cheng's family. Could it be that there is something hidden in it?
Everyone pricked up their ears one after another, always thinking that they would hear a big show!
At this time, Master Cheng finally came back to his senses dully, muttering "impossible", he stared at Xiuqin fiercely, and roared with horror and determination, "Impossible! You are talking nonsense !"

He calmed down slightly, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "There used to be a maid named Xiuqin in my family, but she died in a fire more than ten years ago!" The sarcasm in his eyes was about to overflow, The tone was slow, but there was a warning, "This girl, dare to deceive the magistrate in the court, she will lose her head!"

Facing his gaze, Xiuqin was not afraid at all. Looking at each other for a moment, the corners of her mouth curved into a sarcasm, "Master, I have let you down. I should have died in that fire, but I deserved to die. Someone Help me escape..." She raised her hand to touch her face, with deep hatred flashing in her eyes, "Otherwise, why do you think my face is like this?"

Although the "accidental" fire did not kill her, it ruined her face.

She gritted her teeth and endured the humiliation, and simply hid in the brothel, and only then managed to hold her breath and survived.

The more she went on, the more ugly Master Cheng's face became, and the confidence in his heart couldn't help but be shaken.

In other words, after the fire, everything was reduced to ashes. It is true that Xiuqin's body was not found. He comforted himself that it was burnt to ashes together. After all, he saw people being locked in with his own eyes and heard the screams. Sound, how can it be said that if you don't see it, it will disappear?
He never thought that someone in the mansion would help her escape...

Mrs. Cheng was the first to recover, and looked at Xiuqin with joy, "That's great, Xiuqin, I didn't expect you to be alive!" She had a sad look on her face, "But since you are still alive, why don't you go back to Cheng's mansion?" ..."

Listening to what she seemed to care about but actually accused, Xiuqin curled her lips with a smirk, "It's really strange what Ma'am said, I managed to escape from death, so it's possible that I have to throw myself into a trap and let you Can't you kill it again?"

What she said was so straightforward and mean that Mrs. Cheng couldn't hold back the look on her face, "You, why do you think so!"

This time the people around also heard that something was wrong.

What fire?
Don't you know something you shouldn't know and be silenced?

Mrs. Cheng still wanted to quibble, the magistrate cleared his throat at the right time, and slapped the gavel, "Silence! Wait for the idlers, don't talk yet!"

The faces of the Cheng family and his wife were not very good-looking, and they were even more suspicious.

People who had been "dead" for many years suddenly came back and made such a move, so they couldn't help but panic.

It's fine if it's in the mansion, if Xiuqin dared to show up, they naturally have a hundred ways to keep her from speaking, but now it's in court, and the person sitting above seems to have a lot of background.

Judging by the attitude of the magistrate, the situation is not good for them.

Li Zhifu has been an official for a long time, and the official authority is also great. Just subconsciously, he picked up the gavel and slapped it heavily. Now that he remembered that there was a big Buddha sitting beside him, he couldn't help being surprised, and quietly glanced at the person next to him. Without showing any displeasure, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Turning to look at Xiuqin, she pondered for a moment and frowned and said, "Go on, you said just now that you want to seek justice for your lady, but your lady has been dead for more than ten years, and the person you sued is still your family." Miss's parents, what's going on here?"

This is exactly what the onlookers want to know.

Xiuqin raised her head, as if she had made some important decision, she paused every word, and said slowly, "Everyone knows that my young lady fell into the water accidentally and died, but my lord, the daughter of the people knows that my young lady was obviously killed by someone. killed!"

Whoa!
Everyone was shocked.

Cheng Wan was murdered?

"Full of nonsense!" Master Cheng subconsciously stopped.

She ignored the reaction of the people next to her and continued, "The person who killed her was her cousin Cheng Tianxing. The master and wife knew it clearly, but they chose to cover it up and even declared that the lady's death was accidental!"

"My lord! How can a little girl be trusted? I think she has lost her mind!" Mr. Cheng's chest heaved in anger, and he wanted to pounce on Xiuqin several times, but was firmly pressed back by the officer.

Little did he know that his guilty conscience made him even more suspicious.

Li Zhifu pressed the throbbing blue veins on his forehead, pointed at Master Cheng with trembling fingers, "Give it to me, let me gag him! How can you interfere in the courtroom!"

I don't know if the person surnamed Cheng has lost his head. He jumped out in such a hurry, didn't he see that the person sitting next to him was already impatient?

He already believed Xiuqin's words to a certain degree. If the person surnamed Cheng really did as she said, covering up the murderer who killed his daughter, then it would be really... too insane!
Master Cheng was full of unwillingness to be gagged, and Mrs. Cheng was anxious and worried, her brows were tightly frowned, and her heart was in a state of turmoil.

Xiuqin pursed her lips, and confessed that the haunting in Cheng's mansion was actually caused by her.

Everyone was surprised and at the same time heaved a sigh of relief silently. It's not really a ghost, that's really great.

However, for a maid to do this, it seems that Cheng Wan's death did have hidden secrets!
