PFC Chapter 197 Divorce in Court 3
Chapter 197 Divorce in Court 3
Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in uproar once again, their eyes filled with anger as they looked at Ye Mian. How could there be such an ungrateful person in the world?
Liu Yunchuan shouted angrily:
"Ye Mian, for so many years, the Liu family has treated you wholeheartedly and helped you rise step by step in your career, but you repay kindness with enmity. You are simply inhuman, worse than pigs and dogs."
The multiple charges made Lord Mu lose his composure. "Ye Mian, you are heartless and treacherous! You have committed such a heinous act of framing a loyal official. I will report this to the Emperor and sentence you to death by a thousand cuts."
“When I went to visit my father-in-law, Ye Yaoyao casually picked up a letter and said that I had forged it. When did Lord Mu become so arbitrary?”
"You didn't tell anyone about this, and you even forged your grandfather's handwriting. You only had your trusted subordinate hide in the car before you left."
You happened to arrive at the Liu family with the Fourth Prince. You called the Fourth Prince aside for a chat, and your subordinate took the opportunity to enter the Liu family.
Am I being wrong about these details? The person who sent you to frame the Liu family could decide your life or death with a single sentence.
Ye Yaoyao looked at Ye Mian, whose eyes flickered slightly, clearly indicating that he was right.
"It seems that Miss Ye has been keeping an eye on Ye Mian," Qin Yunshang said sarcastically.
The Second Prince laughed and said, "To be so careless in framing others, not even knowing you were being followed, Ye Mian is more of a hindrance than a help.
Seeing this, the Fourth Prince spoke up: "That day, I did indeed meet Ye Mian, and he pulled me aside to chat for a few minutes."
"My lords, my father has a writing habit where the dot is written a bit longer, and if you look closely, you can see that it is written with an upward stroke. This is my father's handwriting. Please compare it with his."
Ye Li'an took out the calligraphy written by Ye Mian and asked them to compare it.
"Upon closer inspection, this is indeed the case." The officials nodded.
"Ye Mian, you won't admit it, but your usual handwriting habits reveal your sinister thoughts. What else do you have to say?"
Ye Mian was annoyed at his own carelessness, but his survival instinct made him force himself to remain calm and continue to retort:
"The handwriting may be somewhat similar, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's a forged document. Perhaps someone deliberately imitated my handwriting to frame me."
Moreover, how can the Fourth Prince's testimony alone prove that I instructed my subordinates to infiltrate the Liu family?
Looking at his desperate struggle, Ye Yaoyao felt nothing but contempt and said:
"That man, Wang Ling, is skilled in disguise. Because you saved him, he secretly works for you."
"What Wang Ling? I don't know her at all."
Just then, Ji Xiao threw over a wounded man.
"People are coming."
"Lord Mu, this person is Wang Ling."
The two denied knowing each other, so Ye Yaoyao resorted to her methods of interrogation.
“I planted false evidence in the Liu family. I handled many unknown matters for Lord Ye. I also made Ye Zhenghui’s mask. Madam Xue can testify to this.”
"Mr. Xue, do you know him?"
"I know him. Ye Mian saved him ten years ago, and he has been secretly working for Ye Mian ever since."
Lord Mu stared intently at Ye Mian, “Ye Mian, now that we have all the witnesses and evidence, you have no way to deny it.”
Not only did he murder his wife and children, but he also attempted to frame the Liu family for treason. Master Ye Mian clearly recorded all of Ye Mian's evil deeds.
Such a wicked person has served as an official for many years; the crimes he has committed must be far more than these. This case will be sent to the Ministry of Justice for further investigation later.
Ye Mian glanced coldly at Xue Ruoxue, a bitter, desolate smile more painful than a grimace appearing on his lips. His voice was dry as he slowly spoke:
“Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, but when disaster strikes, they fly away separately.”
[Host, Ye Mian is dead.]
Next, we need to sever ties with Ye Mian's family.
Liu Yunshu stepped forward, gave a slight bow to the crowd, and spoke with great passion:
"Ye Mian is heartless and ungrateful, and he is not worthy of being a husband or a father. Since I, Liu Yunshu, married him, I have never had a peaceful day."
"Ye Mian is unworthy of my divorce. I ask everyone present to bear witness that I, Liu Yunshu, am divorcing my husband in court today."
"Madam Liu, Ye Mian is not worthy of you. We support you."
"Madam Ye, it's good that you're divorced!"
As soon as Liu Yunshu finished speaking, the excited voices of the people outside the hall rose and fell, one after another, each one louder than the last.
"Bring me pen and ink," Lord Mu ordered.
Without hesitation, Liu Yunshu immediately wrote a letter of divorce, and then flung it forcefully, sending the letter landing on Ye Mian.
"No, Liu Yunshu, you can't divorce my son. He's the father of your child."
When Madam Ye came to her senses and tried to arrest Liu Yunshu, her son's chances were completely over.
“My children do not have such a father! Didn’t you bring the Ye family genealogy? Immediately remove the names of my children and me from the genealogy.”
"Fine, let him be. He's not a child of the Ye family anyway. You can't divorce my son, only we can divorce you."
Old Madam Ye screamed at the top of her lungs, like an enraged mother beast.
Liu Yunshu looked at her as if she were an ant, "Heaven has been watching what you have done all these years, just wait for your retribution!"
“Liu Yunshu, we are getting our comeuppance, and you won’t fare any better. You have been unfaithful and have given birth to an illegitimate child with an unlucky father. You will also be punished.”
The father is unknown? You must be referring to Yaoyao!
"Who says my daughter's father is unknown? It's you who don't deserve to have her."
"Liu Yunshu, are you implying that Ye Yaoyao's biological father is someone else?"
Liu Yunshu looked at Qin Yunshang, who wouldn't give up until she exposed him, and sneered:
"Your Highness, didn't you figure out who Yaoyao's daughter was a long time ago? Why keep asking? I should thank Your Highness for Yaoyao's birth."
"What a joke! What does your unfaithful child have to do with this princess?"
"If there is no connection, then why does the Princess keep asking me about my background?"
"Good question." Ye Xiumu came in from outside.
Liu Yunshu saw Ye Xiumu stunned. It had been so many years since she had seen him, even though her daughter said he often came to see her secretly.
"It's you!" Ye Mian pointed at Ye Xiumu.
"Father!" Ye Yaoyao's cry of "Father" immediately caused an uproar both inside and outside the courtroom.
"Good daughter."
Liu Yunshu took a deep breath and slowly said, "My daughter Ye Yaoyao's biological father is none other than the Marquis of Zhenbei."
"If Madam Liu really had an affair with another man, wouldn't that be unfaithful to her?"
"Someone like Ye Mian is simply not good enough for her!"
"What does the Marquis of Zhenbei look like? Does his daughter resemble her father?"
"The Marquis of Zhenbei is the grandson of the Imperial Tutor. The Imperial Tutor made invaluable contributions to assisting the late Emperor!" said an old man.
"The Marquis of Zhenbei has guarded the border for many years, and the north has not dared to invade. He is a great hero."
Most of the people were talking about the Ye family, and the voices cursing Liu Yunshu and her daughter were drowned out.
Qin Yunshang and her daughter felt uncomfortable when they saw that Ye Yaoyao's background had been revealed and that they hadn't heard any insults.
[Host, you've hired a lot of online trolls.]
[Everyone else is a paid troll; the others are just sympathizing with my mother's situation and are being kind.]
