Chapter 1566: He’s About to Explode

Editor: Henyee Translations

Young Master Wen grumbled in a rough voice.

Qiao Xuan, as if startled by him, patted her chest and took two steps back. “Young Master Wen, you are so scary!”

“Greetings, Lord Qin!” Qiao Xuan declared loudly. “Is the defendant not allowed to speak in court? Must we solely rely on the plaintiff’s words? Is this the rule of the country?”

“You…”

Young Master Wen’s eyes became even more venomous, and his breathing grew heavier.

He was on the verge of exploding with anger and regret.

Had he known that dealing with Qiao Xuan would be this challenging and bold, he wouldn’t have rushed into investigating the case. Instead, he should have let Lord Qin send her to jail first to teach her a lesson before bringing her to court. He wanted to see if she would still dare to be stubborn!

His desire to vent his anger had backfired.

Meanwhile, Lord Qin hadn’t anticipated Qiao Xuan’s resilience. She posed a tricky question, and with a multitude of spectators outside the court, he didn’t dare to make any rash decisions. Otherwise, he risked facing impeachment the next day.

Despite this, Lord Qin remained stern, staring at Qiao Xuan with a cold expression. “Nonsense! You are a woman; refrain from speaking if you don’t understand anything! The law is equal for all citizens of the empire. Speak your mind.”

“Thank you for clarifying, Lord! May the plaintiff refrain from interrupting when we speak? Such interruptions would also disturb the court, wouldn’t they?”

Young Master Wen, nearly falling backward from anger, sneered and retorted, “You have a clever plan! Do you think I’ll let you frame me?!”

“The innocent are innocent. If you’re dissatisfied, you can present your case afterward. We didn’t disrupt you when you spoke earlier. Why? Are you afraid that we’ll reveal the truth?”

“Shut up!” Young Master Wen cursed. “Outrageous, you–”

“Ahem.” Lord Qin interrupted him. “Ms. Qiao, if you have something to say, say it. But beware, you can’t say whatever you please. Think carefully before speaking! If I discover that you lied, severe punishment awaits!”

“Yes, my lord. I would not dare to lie, even if I had ten guts. I will speak the truth,” Qiao Xuan calmly replied, continuing her earlier statement. “My lord, please permit me to speak, and the plaintiff must not obstruct me!”

Young Master Wen seethed in frustration.

Lord Qin, equally irritated, stared at Qiao Xuan for a while before coldly uttering, “Fine.”

“Thank you, my lord!” Qiao Xuan acknowledged.

Turning to Young Master Wen, she continued, “Did you hear that? I suggest you take the lord’s words seriously.”

Young Master Wen shot her a fierce and venomous glare.

Speaking gently to Liu Fu, Qiao Xuan said, “Fu, you are involved in this matter. Tell us the truth, don’t embellish, don’t withhold anything. Rest assured, the lord will make a fair judgment in court.”

As Liu Fu met Qiao Xuan’s gaze, his initially angry and anxious heart gradually calmed. He nodded, took a deep breath, kowtowed, and began to recount the story loudly.
