Chapter 240 Result
When the old lady saw Marquis Yongyi, she wished she could skin him alive!
How could she have given birth to such a heartless and ungrateful son? Back then, it was he who took a liking to the eldest daughter of the Duke's family.
She was told to send a matchmaker to propose marriage. But now she realized that his good son was seeking revenge, revenge for the woman he loved.
The old lady was in tears, her body trembling, her heart filled with regret and pain.
Marquis Yongyi heard the old lady scolding him in front of so many people.
Marquis Yongyi's face was so gloomy it seemed like it could drip water, and his hands were clenched into fists.
Ignoring the Marquis Yongyi's gloomy face, the old lady continued, "Lord Chen, I implore you to uphold justice for the Marquis's family."
Lord Chen solemnly replied, "Madam, please rest assured, I will handle this according to the law."
“Father…?” Su Jianguo looked at Marquis Yongyi with resentment, hoping that Marquis Yongyi could protect him.
Su Jianguo's eyes were full of pleading, and his voice was trembling with sobs.
But the appearance of the Marquis of Yongyi greatly disappointed Su Jianguo.
Su Jianguo's eyes suddenly turned red, and he shouted, "You all forced me to do this! The Marquis's mansion should have been mine!"
Su Jianguo roared loudly, as if he had gone mad.
"How dare you, Su Jianguo! You still show no remorse!" Lord Chen was furious and slammed his fist on the table.
Just then, a servant from the Marquis's residence rushed over and whispered a few words in the old lady's ear.
The servant looked nervous and whispered something in the old lady's ear.
The old lady's expression changed: "What? Is that true?"
The old lady's eyes widened in surprise!
Everyone looked at the old lady with curiosity.
The old lady said, "We have discovered that Su Jianguo has been secretly transferring a huge amount of the Marquis's property over the years."
The old lady's voice trembled with anger!
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped, speechless with astonishment!
Marquis Yongyi's eyes widened, and he roared, "You unfilial son! My Marquis's mansion has treated you well, yet you have become so heartless and insane!"
Marquis Yongyi was furious and wanted nothing more than to slap Su Jianguo.
Su Jianguo's face was ashen, and he had nothing more to say.
Marquis Yongyi's face instantly turned deathly pale.
Su Yinyin asked, "Madam, is there any evidence regarding this account book?"
The old woman said confidently, "Of course I have. I have already arranged for someone to send the evidence over."
Everyone waited anxiously, and soon a servant rushed over with a stack of account books.
Lord Chen took the ledger and examined it carefully, his expression growing increasingly grim!
When Su Jianguo saw the ledger, he completely panicked.
Lord Chen slammed his gavel and said loudly, "Su Jianguo, the evidence is conclusive. What else do you have to say?"
Lord Chen glared angrily and shouted loudly!
Su Jianguo collapsed to the ground in despair, muttering to himself, "It's over, everything is over..."
Su Jianguo's eyes were vacant, and he kept muttering to himself.
Su Yinyin sneered, "Su Jianguo, you've schemed and plotted, but in the end you're reaping what you sow."
Su Yinyin looked at Su Jianguo with a face full of mockery!
Marquis Yongyi was both ashamed and angry. He yelled at Su Jianguo, "You unfilial son, it's all your fault that the Marquis's mansion has been ruined!"
Marquis Yongyi was so angry that he trembled all over!
Lord Chen said sternly, "Su Jianguo, you have committed such a serious crime, I will punish you severely!"
Lord Chen's expression was serious, and his tone was resolute!
Eunuch Li said from the side, "Such a disloyal, unfilial, and unjust person is utterly despicable."
Eunuch Li said with a look of disgust!
Looking at the chaotic scene before her, the old lady was filled with sorrow and said, "Such a disgrace has occurred in the Marquis's mansion. I have no face to face my ancestors."
The old lady was in tears, heartbroken!
Marquis Yongyi was now ashen-faced, muttering to himself, "It's over, everything is over...!"
Marquis Yongyi stood there, dejected, as if he had lost all hope!
After seeing that the evidence was conclusive, Lord Chen...
With a solemn expression, Lord Chen loudly pronounced the verdict: "Su Jianguo is guilty of heinous crimes, plotting to murder the Princess and the Old Madam, and secretly transferring a huge amount of property from the Marquis's mansion. He is hereby imprisoned in death row and will be executed in the autumn! Marquis Yongyi has failed in his duty to educate his son, so he is punished by being confined to his residence for one year to reflect on his mistakes, and half of the Marquis's mansion's property is confiscated!"
Lord Chen's voice was loud and clear, full of authority!
Upon hearing this verdict, the crowd began to whisper among themselves and discuss the matter animatedly!
Su Jianguo's face was ashen, but his will to live made him shout, "Father, save me! I don't want to die! You must save me, or my mother will be very disappointed in you!"
Su Jianguo shouted hoarsely, his eyes filled with fear!
Marquis Yongyi stood there, looking utterly dejected, as if he had aged considerably in an instant.
But when he heard Su Jianguo mention the word "mother," he perked up. His eyes became resolute.
Marquis Yongyi said to Su Jianguo, "Jianguo, don't worry, I will definitely save you."
Marquis Yongyi gritted his teeth, his gaze resolute!
As Su Jianguo was dragged away, he stared venomously at everyone present, especially Su Yinyin.
Su Jianguo's eyes were filled with resentment, as if he wanted to devour someone!
At this moment, Su Jianguo shouted loudly at Su Yinyin, "Back then, I should have made sure you died without a burial place. I never thought you would be so lucky to survive."
Su Jianguo said through gritted teeth!
Su Yinyin didn't take it to heart, and just sneered: "Times have changed. No matter how much you resent it, you can only go to the Yellow Springs with resentment."
However, I, the princess, admire you. You're ruthless and lewd enough to even sleep with your father's wife. There's a saying, "A rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its burrow," but you've done just that—you're still eating the grass your father used to grow!"
Su Yinyin looked at Su Jianguo with disdain and contempt!
Su Yinyin felt a surge of relief, as years of pent-up frustration were finally released.
Su Yinyin breathed a sigh of relief; the huge weight in her heart had finally been lifted.
Su Yinyin's words stunned everyone, especially the old lady.
Just then, an imperial decree arrived from the palace, summoning Su Yinyin and Lord Chen to the palace for an audience with the emperor.
A eunuch rushed over and read out the imperial edict!
Su Yinyin and Lord Chen dared not delay and hurriedly entered the palace.
The two hurriedly tidied their clothes and followed the eunuch into the palace!
Upon arriving at the palace, the emperor sat on the dragon throne, his face grim.
The emperor's expression was unfriendly, and his eyes conveyed a sense of authority!
The emperor said, "The matter of the Marquis's residence has caused such a stir in the city. How can I save face?"
The emperor's voice was deep and authoritative, filled with displeasure!
Su Yinyin and Lord Chen hurriedly knelt down to beg for forgiveness.
The Emperor waved his hand: "That's enough, this matter is over. But what are Yinyin's thoughts on the position of heir to the Marquis's estate?"
The emperor turned his gaze to Su Yinyin, his tone softening slightly.
“Your Majesty, actually, Yinyin’s elder brother, Su Yao, is capable of the job.” Su Yinyin stated her thoughts directly.
Su Yinyin raised her head and looked at the emperor with a firm gaze!
Su Yinyin knew that this was the emperor's test, but so what...!
