Chapter 327: Chapter 329 Last Move_1
Tan Zhengyong’s eyes shifted, "My third brother said he saw Xiao Biyu around the Tan Family, acting all sneaky, and that very day my daughter-in-law was bitten by a snake; she must have been there to release it."
If he could help prove that Xiao Biyu was guilty, surely the Fourth Boss and his wife would have to thank him, right?
By then, the business of him stealing would be wiped clean, wouldn’t it? 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔭𝖚𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
Xiao Biyu neatly rearranged her hair at the temples, "I was just passing by; don’t falsely accuse me. Who says I can’t go to the Tan Family!"
"How could it be such a coincidence? Why did your snake not go somewhere else but to the Tan Family? Isn’t it because you want to harm someone?"
She still denies releasing it, who would believe that? Ghosts?
Even a three-year-old child knows this; he refused to believe Lord Qin would believe Xiao Biyu’s nonsense.
But you can’t write on the dossier that the murderer is guessed to be Xiao Biyu, can you? Isn’t that openly declaring a miscarriage of justice?
Qin Longyun’s goal was to avoid wrongful cases, so of course, he couldn’t slap himself in the face.
Therefore, Xiao Biyu bore no psychological burden, and said with an unchanged expression, "Then I don’t know, maybe snakes just like to bite vile people?"
"If snakes knew who the vile person was, they would definitely bite you to death first," Tan Zhengyong accused, pointing at Xiao Biyu’s nose.
"If you insist your daughter-in-law is the vile person, then I can’t do anything about it."
Xiao Biyu said innocently, her resentment towards that vile person still fresh—if it weren’t for her going in, wouldn’t the one who died be Qiao Duo’er?
She had cursed Tan Zhengyong and his wife hundreds of times, but it was all in vain.
Qin Longyun clapped the Court Beating Wood again, "There shall be no disturbance in the court!"
Tan Zhengyong shuddered and quickly knelt down again.
He had gotten so excited that he forgot he was still in court... oh, please don’t let them beat him.
Qin Longyun said sternly, "Xiao Biyu, if you recognize your fault now, the sentencing may be more lenient. Think carefully about what’s more severe."
"My snake is lost; I don’t know why it would be at the Tan Family."
Xiao Biyu repeated her stance.
Hmph, what could they do to her now?
Even if she had released the snake to bite Qiao Duo’er, so what?
"My lord, the snake must have entered through the rear window. The ground between the Tan Family and Zhou Family Alley is loose; if someone did it on purpose, they would definitely leave footprints. Send someone to check, and we will know," said Qiao Duo’er, looking confident.
Xiao Biyu’s heart jumped. She had been so focused on the snake at the time, how could she have noticed the ground beneath her feet?
Qin Longyun nodded, "Keep a watch on everyone here; don’t let the word get out. Send two more to collect the footprints."
Xiao Biyu completely panicked; after all, she was just a spoiled and willful young lady. The fact that she had even come up with that idea was already a burst of intelligence and conscience.
Now that the other side had a follow-up move, she was utterly confused. What should she do?
Xiao Biyu turned to look for her family members; her mother, elder brother, sister-in-law, second brother, and second sister-in-law were all there.
But they too looked anxious, helpless.
Her heart gradually grew cold. Was she really going to admit her guilt?
No, that’s not right. Her father wasn’t here; he must have gone to think of a solution, right?
"Xiao Biyu, do you really want to remain defiant? Once the footprints are brought here, you won’t have a chance," pressed Qin Longyun, continuing to erode Xiao Biyu’s waning confidence until she would be left with no choice but to reveal the truth.
Xiao Biyu kept silent, but her complexion became extremely unsightly.
Had her father come up with a solution yet? Why wasn’t he here?
