After she finished vomiting, she immediately pointed at Su Yingxue and cursed, “Su Yingxue, you b*tch, that hurt so much!”
Su Yingxue spread her hands innocently. “Everyone in the hall is a witness. 1 induced vomiting to help you speak.”
She turned to look at Liang Jin. “Lord Liang, Miss Wu can already speak.”
Liang Jin stroked his beard, his admiration for Su Yingxue’s medical skills increasing further.
“It’s all because of you! Su Yingxue, it’s all you do that I’ve ended up with this! My whole body hurts, I’m in so much pain! Sob, sob, sob…” Wu Ruofei cried heartrendingly.
“I didn’t cause your injuries. What’s the use of yelling at me?” Su Yingxue retorted disdainfully.
Wu Ruofei continued crying out. “If it weren’t for you! Why would my parents do this to me? I… Sob, sob, sob! My injuries weren’t originally this severe. It’s all because of you. You harmed my brothers, and that’s why they hit me! That’s why 1 ended up like this.”
Wu Hongtao hastily covered Wu Ruofei’s mouth, his face turning red with anger. “You fool! What nonsense are you spouting?”
Su Yingxue shrugged her shoulders. This was Wu Ruofei’s nature. Her brain was merely a decoration. With a little enticement, she would reveal the truth on her own.
“Ruofei, don’t be so confused and blurt out nonsense! Your injuries were caused by Su Yingxue!” Madam Wu sternly reminded her, her unyielding anger repeatedly tormenting her.
How could she have raised such a foolish person?
Not only was Wu Ruofei in so much pain, but she was also being scolded. She felt so wronged that she did not dare to speak again.
However, Liang Jin had heard every word she said just now.
He pointed angrily at Wu Hongtao. “Wu Hongtao! You even attacked your daughter and obstructed my trial. I will sentence you and your wife to ten strokes!”
“I’m being wronged, Lord Liang! It’s all… It’s all Su Yingxue’s fault! She bewitched my daughter!”
Wu Hongtao trembled all over, his heart now filled with a desire to kill Su Yingxue!
He had already endured numerous lashings, today he was enduring ten more. This might just cost him his life!
“Don’t talk nonsense! Men, execute the punishment immediately!”
Liang Jin acted swiftly, instructing his officers to position Wu Hongtao and Madam Wu in the hall. Each received ten lashes before the trial continued.
After the lashings, Wu Hongtao could barely stand straight. Madam Wu’s blood-red eyes were still filled with hatred. “1 don’t believe it… I refuse to believe that Su Yingxue will escape punishment!”
The beating she was enduring now was bound to be repaid upon Su Yingxue!
Wu Ruofei didn’t expect that her random words would cause her parents to be beaten up. She watched them being beaten up and was stunned. After her parents were beaten up, she fainted from shock.
Within the Capital Prefecture, there was no shortage of doctors. The doctors and the female bailiffs came to examine Wu Ruofei’s injuries. After the examination, they confirmed that Wu Ruofei’s limbs were broken and the injuries on her body were new.
“Although Wu Hongtao and his wife obstructed the integrity of the case, Su Yingxue, it is a fact that Wu Ruofei’s limbs were broken. You caused this. Do you admit it?” Liang Jin demanded sternly.
Faced with this accusation, Su Yingxue knew that denying it would be futile. She nodded and said, “Indeed, 1 did break Miss Wu’s limbs. In that moment of desperation, I injured her while trying to save Wu Jinyan..”
