"The evidence is all laid out here; am I falsely accusing you?" Wei Zhong said calmly, "Back then, you conspired with him to kill the old head of the family, and we must settle this account clearly with you."
"Breaking your legs was already a light punishment for you."
For someone like her to plot against the eldest head’s life, it’s beyond betrayal and treachery.
"You can’t treat me like this," Lady Die said hoarsely.
What’s hateful is that all these years, the people she wanted to win over didn’t stand by her side, and those she already won over couldn’t even speak up for her here.
"I ask the original enforcement elders to put in one last effort," Wei Zhong said.
"Wei Zhong, are you trying to rebel?" Lady Die pointed at him and said, "The eldest head treated you well back then, and this is how you treat his widow."
"You still have the nerve to mention the eldest head? I spit..." said a person standing next to Wei Zhong, spitting at Lady Die, "The eldest head was killed by you, this venomous woman."
And you dare to speak?
The nerve!
This malicious woman.
"Where’s Sister-in-law Gong? Sister-in-law Gong." Lady Die hurriedly held Sister-in-law Gong’s hand, "Tell everyone, I didn’t kill the eldest head."
"Madam, I’ve been with you all these years." Sister-in-law Gong lowered her head, pulling her hand away from Lady Die’s, "Are you asking me to tell the truth?"
What?
Lady Die looked at Sister-in-law Gong in astonishment.
Could it be that this woman’s unwavering loyalty to her over the years was all an act?
"The eldest head treated you so well; you really shouldn’t have," Sister-in-law Gong said weakly with her head down.
What?
Lady Die, angered, rushed forward and struck Sister-in-law Gong, "Tell me, is someone forcing you? Or have you been threatened?"
Does it make a difference?
The key is no one did anything to her; they just wanted her to tell the truth.
"I just told the truth," Sister-in-law Gong said.
"You bitch," Lady Die raised her hand to hit her, but her hand stopped in mid-air, blocked by someone, "With both witness testimony and material evidence here, what more do you have to say?"
It was Wei Zhong.
Ha ha...
Lady Die laughed, "So you all conspired against me a long time ago, all to bring me down."
"But why?" Lady Die asked in confusion.
The old head has been dead for quite a few years, and only now are they holding her accountable? Isn’t it a bit too late?
Why?
Wei Zhong gave a cold smile.
Because she offended those she shouldn’t have offended.
But this was something he would never tell Lady Die.
"Execute," Mr. Xue said.
Immediately, execution elders stepped out to restrain Lady Die.
"I won’t let you off; not even if I’m a ghost, I won’t let you off," Lady Die shouted angrily with a hoarse voice.
"This is a law-governed society; you can’t treat me like this, I’m going to file a complaint..." She wanted to shout more, but her mouth was already gagged with a dirty rag.
Lady Die, used to a life of luxury for years, could hardly endure such treatment. After a few dry heaves, she felt the urge to vomit, but the seasoned person beside her struck her on the back and used another hand to keep the rag in place.
As a result, the contents she wanted to vomit came up mixed with the rag’s dirty water and were swallowed back.
The taste... tsk tsk... those watching nearby felt thoroughly disgusted.
Wei Zhong gave a look, and two people followed along.
Soon, the whole group also followed and left.
