Chapter 227 More unjust than Dou E
When Shen Wanwan saw Xie Leqing kneeling on the ground, she was so heartbroken that she reached out to pull her up and helped her up while she was stunned.
"Mother, there's no need to be like this. I haven't done anything wrong, and even if he's a prince, he can't accuse me of it. Just wait in the mansion. I'll be back soon. Don't worry, mother. I'll be fine."
After she finished speaking, she pushed the person to Feiyue and said, "Take mother back and take good care of her. If anything goes wrong, you don't have to stay with me anymore."
The last sentence was spoken with great emphasis. Shen Wanwan said it on purpose for Ling Shuang in the dark to hear, reminding her not to be impulsive.
Ling Shuang and Fei Yue were people arranged by the King of Qin. If they lose their composure and start a commotion at this moment, things will not end well.
Ling Shuang was just about to take action, but stopped when she heard Shen Wanwan's words. She watched her being taken away by Prince Pingnan, and her heart was filled with anxiety.
In the court, Liang Dongsheng, the governor of Fuyun, slammed the gavel and asked, "Who is here?"
"My humble daughter Pei Wanwan."
"The Prince of Pingnan is accusing you of kidnapping and secretly harboring the young master of the Prince of Pingnan's mansion. Do you plead guilty?"
"Secreting the prince is a grave crime. I have never done it, so I deny it."
"Faced with the evidence, you have no choice but to admit it. Come on, someone, beat me..."
Prince Pingnan frowned, "Lord Liang, it's not too late to interrogate him first before using torture."
Liang Dongsheng coughed awkwardly twice and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, your Highness is right. I just...just made a slip of the tongue. Someone, call the witnesses for confrontation."
As soon as he finished speaking, two servants and two maids came up. When they heard the sound of the gavel, their legs trembled and they knelt down with a plop.
"I'm asking you, do you recognize the woman kneeling beside you?"
The four of them nodded in unison, indicating that they recognized her. She was the third young lady of the Cheng'en Marquisate, but she had been kicked out of the mansion for several days.
"Since you recognize him, tell me what you saw last night. If you tell a lie, you will be punished immediately."
The four of them recounted in detail what had happened at the night market yesterday, from beginning to end, with the first half being exactly correct. As for the second half, no one saw who had taken the young master away.
When Prince Pingnan heard this, there was nothing he didn't understand. Previously in the palace, they were obviously afraid of being beaten to death, so they insisted that it was Miss Pei San who did it.
Now it seems that the truth may not be what I see and hear.
but……
He winked at Liang Dongsheng, who slammed the gavel and said, "The young master of the Pingnan Palace is missing. The suspect, Pei Wanwan, has refused to plead guilty. He will be temporarily imprisoned and retried at a later date."
Shen Wanwan: “???”
What kind of crappy official is this? Is he treating cases so lightly?
"Since there is no evidence to prove that the disappearance of the Prince of Pingnan is related to me, why are you still holding me captive?"
"But as a suspect, you have no evidence to prove that you have nothing to do with this matter, right?"
Liang Dongsheng slammed the gavel, "What are you standing there for? Why don't you take him away and put him in jail?"
Shen Wanwan was stunned. What this bastard said made so much sense that she had no way to refute it for a moment.
As she was being dragged away, she squinted her eyes and glanced at Prince Pingnan. For the first time, she felt that the prince's identity represented power, supreme power.
Shen Wanwan looked at the smelly prison cell, and one could imagine how depressed she felt. This was the first time she had been in jail since she was a child, and she felt even more wronged than Dou E!
If I had known this, I shouldn't have bothered to save that young master that day. I should have let him fall into the water and soak in it. Someone would have saved him anyway. Why would he have stuck with me alone to get entangled?
But that wouldn't work either. If something really happened, with the Prince of Pingnan's protectiveness towards his son, he would definitely cause trouble for Wanwan. After all, it was after the two of them collided that the young master flew out of the pleasure boat.
As for who bears the primary responsibility and who bears the secondary responsibility, this is a completely confusing matter. Who can figure it out?
