Wishful Things

"My lord doesn't know...Xu Ying has been insane for quite some time, and she would say crazy things from time to time. The official once heard her say that she had secretly admired the second son of the Xia family for a long time..."

The surroundings immediately became noisy.

"It turns out that she admires Young Master Xia..."

"No wonder you're still refusing to get married at such an advanced age!"

"Could it be a madman? Seeing that my innocence has been ruined, it is impossible to get into the eyes of Mr. Xia, so I just drag my sweetheart to hell with me..."

"Tsk tsk, let me just say that she is cruel in what she says and does. It's really bad luck for Mr. Xia to be admired by her."

Hearing these words, Xu Ying's clenched hands trembled.

The half-day court trial has almost exhausted her energy, and the current situation has brought her a double exhaustion of body and mind.

"Whether I'm crazy or not, Master Zhan can't prove it with just a few words. What's more, it's the first time I've met Master Zhan!"

"Miss Xu, why do you have to drag others into the water now... In this court, every sentence is false." Zhan Qian frowned, and said helplessly: "This matter is wrong. I, I didn't want to offend you with words in front of others, to embarrass you..."

While speaking, he kowtowed to Ji Dong again, and said in an embarrassed tone: "If your lord does not believe the confession made by the official... you can have someone check it out. There is a red birthmark on Miss Xu's waist and abdomen."

Ji Dong's expression changed slightly.

Telling such intimate details in public is tantamount to another injury to the victimized woman.

But at the moment of the trial, this can barely be regarded as evidence in the confrontation process, so he can't say much.

Xu Ying gritted her teeth tightly, restraining the churning emotions in her heart.

It seems that he really wants to drive her crazy...

If she really did something impulsive because of this, or lost her composure in the slightest, I'm afraid she would never be able to get rid of the title of 'crazy woman'.

"Miss Xu—" Ji Dong looked inquiringly.

This "evidence" does not explain much in some respects. Whether it is verified or not depends on the victim's wishes.

"Go back to your lord, you don't need to be checked by others."

Xu Ying struggled to sit up straight again, and said in a calm tone: "Minnv does have such a birthmark on her body. But it is true that the minnv was bullied by Xia Han. Mr. Zhan wanted to take the blame for someone else, so he was told Such details are not surprising."

The more the other party expected her to 'go crazy', the more she had to calm down.

What's more, she would also like to thank the other party for reminding her, reminding her of a clue——

"But Xia Hanlin, I don't know if you still remember that when you raped me four days ago, I left a bite mark on your left arm?" Xu Ying looked at Xia Han steadily.

At that time, her hands and feet were restrained, and she used 100% of her strength to resist, wishing to bite off his flesh, so the wound would definitely not disappear within four days!

Xia Han's eyes moved slightly.

"Second Young Master Xia, can you just roll up the sleeve of your left hand to prove the truth?" Ji Dong said.

Xia Han hesitated for a moment.

Xu Ying saw his subtle abnormal reaction in her eyes, and almost held her breath for a while.

After a while, under the gaze of everyone, he still slowly rolled up his sleeves.

The pampered young man had a fair arm, but on the inner side of the forearm, there were several wounds of different sizes covered with ointment.

"Second Young Master Xia, I don't know what this is?" Ji Dong had an inquisitive look in his eyes.

This looks clearly not a bite.

"Returning to my lord, this is the injury caused by a candle when I was sorting out and registering a few ancient books with several adults in the Hanlin Academy the night before yesterday."

Xia Han explained calmly: "At that time, the candle was accidentally knocked over and almost ignited the ancient book. The lower official didn't care about it for a while, and stepped forward to put out the candle. Unexpectedly, the candle burned the sleeve of the official uniform—that's why it was on the inside of the arm. There are these burns."

Xu Ying's eyes trembled when she heard this, and her eyes gradually turned red.

It was only just now that she suddenly remembered these details... But he was so on guard that he had already covered everything up.

But just now when he heard her mentioning this matter, he still intentionally showed her hesitation—this was simply playing tricks on her...to make fun of her various reactions!

Such gestures seem to be like a high-ranking hunter teasing his prey!

"When this incident happened, several colleagues from the Imperial Academy were present. Afterwards, an imperial physician also came to treat the injury of the subordinate. My lord can send someone to check the truth."

Ji Dong nodded: "I will order someone to investigate carefully."

But based on experience, the other party said it so firmly, whether to check or not, the result will not be much different...

He turned to look at Xu Ying: "Does Miss Xu have any other evidence?"

At this point in the trial of the case, even if Zhan Qian has pleaded guilty, if there is any inconsistency in the testimony, the case cannot be easily closed.

As an official adjudicating the case, it is impossible for him to believe in any one side's words.

But as far as the facts are concerned, the evidence currently in front of us is obviously more biased towards the fact that this matter is indeed the act of occupying the potential.

If Miss Xu still wanted to identify Xia Han, she had to produce stronger evidence.

"My lord, Xia Han has committed a heinous crime!"

Seeing that the case was about to reach a conclusion, Xu Ying, who had been pressed by every step of the way, became uncontrollably excited. She stood up abruptly, stared at Xia Han with red eyes, and said, "I am deeply hurt by it." People, not just women! What's more, back then—”

The next words came to an abrupt end when they touched the eyes of the other party who seemed to be holding a mocking smile.

Xu Ying's body swayed, and then she fell back on the stool.

No……

She has no proof.

Now that she is so impulsive, if she says something without evidence, it will only prove that all this is her nonsense slander from beginning to end, and it will only make others see her as a real lunatic.

At that time, there is really no room for returning to the world.

She couldn't fall into Xia Han's trap and let him get away with it cleanly!

"Miss Xu, do you have any other witnesses?" Ji Dong asked.

Bead-like beads of sweat slid down from Xu Ying's forehead due to touching the wound on her body, and she said with great difficulty: "...Minnv can't figure it out for a while, please give Minnv a few days to make Minnv feel better. A woman can rearrange one or two lines of evidence."

She can't just admit defeat, but she can only delay for a while and think of another countermeasure.

Ji Dong nodded in agreement.

In the case of different testimonies, the only option is to wait for a review.

But if the girl Xu still can't produce convincing evidence during the retrial, he can only close the case according to the rules.

Zhan Qian, who pleaded guilty, was temporarily detained.

Ji Dong looked to his side, and ordered two confidants to "escort" Xia Han back to the mansion.

Good evening everyone~
