"Tang Yuan!"
"Why are you yelling at me again?" Tang Yuan pouted aggrievedly. "Even if I tell the truth, Lord Jue will yell at me. You won't listen to me!"
Ling Jue was at a loss for words. This insect!
"Anyway, you're not allowed to mention Feng Yulin in the future! Every time you mention him, I'll throw you into hot water and lock you up!"
"..."
Tang Yuan immediately shut up. It could not afford to offend her.
If it did not mention it, then so be it. So what if he was a handsome young man? Didn't he just give Lord Jue some wonton stew? Why did Lord Jue hate him so much?
Sigh. What is the human heart made of? It's so hard to guess.
Knock, knock, knock!
At that moment, someone knocked on the door.
"Come in," Ling Jue said softly to the door.
A woman opened the door and walked in. "Hello, I'm the special nurse arranged by Mr. Feng."
"..."
"Lord Jue, she mentioned the handsome young man. Will you beat her up?" Tang Yuan heard her words and looked at Ling Jue with a smirk.
"Shut up!" Ling Jue glared at Tang Yuan, then looked at the person who came in. "Take good care of the old woman. No one can come in except for the doctor."
"Yes!" She nodded.
Ling Jue stood up. "I'll go buy some clothes. Help the old woman wash up."
"Yes."
She looked very capable, so Ling Jue was relieved. The person Feng Yulin recommended should be reliable.
Why did she think of him again? She had to quit. She had to quit...
...
Because someone was taking care of her grandmother, and they were doing a good job, Ling Jue went back to rest. She stayed in the hotel for the whole day. At night, she received a call from her lawyer, saying that the court would be held tomorrow.
Xia Qingsong would be brought to the court by the security bureau.
This time, not only was he unfilial, but he was also guilty of intentional injury.
Ling Jue was determined to let him rot in prison. Of course, there was also Wang Xiangyao.
The next day.
When she arrived at the court, Ling Jue sat in the plaintiff's seat, silently waiting for the lawyer to hand over the evidence.
In the audience stand, there were many villagers from Mingxi village. They were all called as witnesses by Ling Jue, afraid that Xia Qingsong would quibble.
The court began in a moment.
"Bring the defendant now. Xia Qingsong! Wang Xiangyao!"
Xia Qingsong and Wang Xiangyao came out of the small room with dispirited expressions.
The two of them sat in the dock in silence.
Ling Jue did not think that they would accept their fate. They must still have some ideas.
Jiang Chen stood up and explained Xia Qingsong's crime in a formal manner. He presented the evidence. "This is the evidence."
The people in the front row handed the evidence to the judge. After the judge finished looking at it, the forensic expert next to him examined it.
"Does the defendant have anything to say?"
"All of my defendants have confessed."
"Including the fact that they beat the old woman up until she was hospitalized?"
"Yes."
The judge was slightly taken aback. He glanced at Ling Jue. He did not expect them to confess so quickly.
"Does the defendant have anything to say in defense?"
"No, I'm willing to confess. It's my fault. Once I'm reformed, I'll definitely treat my old mother well."
"Me too. As a daughter-in-law, I did not do what a daughter-in-law should do. I'm guilty, and I'm willing to accept the law's reform."
"..."
Ling Jue's face darkened as she listened to the two people's words. She was going to meet the two people in a while. What was the reason that made them so obedient in court?
"Alright, it's settled then. All kinds of evidence prove that Xia Qingsong and Wang Xiangyao inflicted bodily harm on their mother. The preliminary trial was passed, and the defendant also pleaded guilty. The sentence is now-"
"Xia Qingsong receives eight years of imprisonment, and Wang Xiangyao receives five years of imprisonment."
"..."
Ling Jue did not listen to what the judge said anymore. She only clenched her fists and looked at Xia Qingsong and Wang Xiangyao who were taken away. The two of them even smiled at her before they entered the hut, as if saying, 'What can you do to us!'
