Chapter 328: Chapter 330: What Innocence Are You Pretending?_1
"Xiao Biyu, you still have one more chance to admit your guilt voluntarily," Qin Longyun said sternly.
Xiao Biyu turned her head to look again but still couldn’t see her father’s shadow. Indeed, how could he match the Guang House?
She gritted her teeth and said, "It was me who put the snake in there. Wu Cheng told me to starve the snake for a few days before releasing it into someone’s room. The snake would surely attack people. So, he’s not a good thing either."
Wu Cheng was flabbergasted. Was this girl too cruel? She was actually dragging him down with her!
He had repeatedly warned her, telling her never to say that the snake came from him, no matter what.
At the time, she had even sworn an oath, and now, she hadn’t even been pressed, she had sold him out!
Damn it, he was finished too!
"Xiao Biyu, state your motive and the entire process of committing the crime clearly."
"I like Tan Zhenghong. The person who should marry Tan Zhenghong should be me. What right does Qiao Duo’er, a freak, have to be with Tan Zhenghong? She’s the one who deserves to die!"
Xiao Biyu spoke insolently. Now that she had decided to confess her guilt, what was there to hesitate about?
She simply hated Qiao Duo’er; she was willing to curse Qiao Duo’er with her life!
Suddenly, there were gasps outside the courtroom.
Not only was this girl malicious at heart, but she was also blind to her own faults.
There were two girls standing in the courtroom, one of them, other than Xiao Biyu, must be Qiao Duo’er. 𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑝𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝘮
The most disdainful were Tan Zhenghong and Bai Yifan. Tan Zhenghong simply thought his wife was the most beautiful.
Even when they first married, he had never thought his wife ugly.
As for Bai Yifan, he silently admired Qiao Duo’er, dressed in a pink gown, her skin more radiant than snow, eyebrows like delicate willows, eyes bright as stars, shoulders cut like a work of art, waist svelte as if bound by a ribbon, and from any angle, she was nothing less than perfect.
The most remarkable was her natural beauty, which made her appear even more fresh and pure, not to mention the cold and refined temperament that surrounded her, making it difficult for one to look away.
How could such a beauty be what Xiao Biyu had called a monster?
Ah, women blinded by love could indeed be terrifying.
Wu Cheng knelt on the ground and exclaimed loudly, "My lord, don’t believe her. I didn’t know she bought the snake to bite people. I really didn’t know anything!"
"Think carefully before you speak. You’ve already deceived me once yesterday," Qin Longyun said with a slight curl of his lips, his eyes filled with warning. If Wu Cheng were to tell lies again, he would face a heavier sentence.
Wu Cheng was taken aback and could only say weakly, "I... I was blinded by the prospect of money. I swear I won’t dare again."
Qin Longyun announced loudly, "Now that the truth has come to light, Xiao Biyu’s envy-turned-hatred led her to buying a snake and committing an assault, which left Tan’s Wang Clan injured. Wu Cheng, knowing Xiao Biyu’s malicious intentions, still provided her with the venomous snake. He is an accessory to the crime."
"This court sentences Xiao Biyu to three years of imprisonment and a fine of eighty taels, while Wu Cheng is sentenced to one year of imprisonment and the confiscation of proceeds from selling the snake obtained through illicit means. Do you have any objections?"
Wu Cheng knelt with his head bowed, one year of imprisonment... it was much better than he had imagined.
But when he got out, he definitely wouldn’t dare to get involved in this kind of trouble again.
Tears involuntarily streamed down Xiao Biyu’s face. She really didn’t want to go to jail!
Zheng Shi suddenly rushed into the courtroom: "Qiao Duo’er, you harlot, you’ve always had it in for Yu’er, are you satisfied now? Are you happy?"
While shouting furiously, she attempted to hit Qiao Duo.
Before Qiao Duo could react, Tan Zhenghong had already grabbed Zheng Shi’s arm.
"Who are you putting on that innocent act for? It’s your failure to educate your daughter that made us the victims!" Tan Zhenghong said irritably.
