The Husband I Snatched Is Not Right!-Chapter 139: Yu Tingwan Is Slim, Yet Fierce

The wind lifted the hair at the girl’s temples. Her back was straight, and her questioning was strikingly forceful.

"Why was she tortured and killed so cruelly?"

"If you didn’t want her, you could have divorced her. Our family would have welcomed her back as a treasure!"

"The He Family used connections to bribe the County Magistrate. My uncle wanted to report to the authorities but was beaten and bedridden. It’s laughable that the He Family did such a thing and remained at ease, turning around to marry a new wife."

At this point, she paused. Looking at the crying He family child, she said blandly, "If Lady Xiao’s child had been born, he’d be this age by now."

He Hong’s eyelids twitched, his heart desolate.

Yu Tingwan tugged at the corner of her mouth.

"No, this child is older than Lady Xiao’s would have been."

"Back then, she hadn’t even been buried, and you had already remarried, in a hurry as if reincarnating, unable to wait even a day. After all, the child was born, needing to be brought back to acknowledge the ancestors."

The crowd tried to remain quiet, but now they couldn’t suppress their sighs.

"What do you mean born? Could it be that these two had been together long before? Look closely, the child’s age doesn’t seem right..."

"My aunt lives nearby and says the He Family settled many things with money over the years."

"He Hong is famous for being a libertine. It’s no surprise he would leave a girl pregnant before marrying. But since he had someone outside, why court a daughter of the Wei Family?"

To marry her, then kill her?

And then marry the previous lover again?

Yu Tingwan smiled slightly at the woman: "I don’t think you’re worth much."

"Having had an extramarital affair with He Hong, then secretly connecting, shows a lack of integrity. Lady Xiao died clearing the path for you to step in legally."

"I do not care how dirty things were between you and He Hong before, but my sister-in-law married into the He Family first. Lady Xiao’s child was unfortunate, resented before birth, but she was a legitimate child. Has your child been acknowledged officially?"

Even the age was concealed.

Her cold voice was accompanied by the child’s hoarse crying.

The girl chuckled lightly: "Look at that, crying so pitifully. What’s the matter? Does the child know he’s illegitimate?"

The woman hurriedly tried to soothe the child, tears gleaming instantly, touching hearts.

"You... how can you say such things? No matter what, the child is innocent."

After speaking, she kowtowed in the direction of He Xuran.

"Sir."

That plea was both plaintive and sorrowful.

"Our master has been in the cell till now and cannot endure it anymore, and the child... the child cannot bear it either. I beseech you, considering the child’s young age, please spare..."

Before the words were finished.

Yu Tingwan, angry: "Why call him Sir? This child is He Hong’s, not the Sir’s!"

Still trying to make He Xuran responsible privately!

He Xuran: ???

He furrowed his brow and looked at the darkened Yu Tingwan.

He had primarily focused on the case earlier, glancing over without scrutinizing.

He sat up a little straighter, his breath slightly held.

Soon, that emotion vanished without a trace.

Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice: ...

Honestly, this country woman is truly courageous.

Yang Weiweng was astonished.

Still, the girl had a relatively stable temperament.

If Wei Shen had come...

Thinking of the indifferent Wei Shen, who disregarded everyone, Yang Weiweng was immensely thankful that Yu Tingwan had come instead.

Otherwise, with Wei Shen’s fearless attitude, somewhat mad, he might fancy He Xuran’s current seat and demand he stand up for him.

He Xuran, a dignitary from the Capital, was frightening when angry. If someone clambered over him, Wei Shen wouldn’t fare well.

Even the White Tiger showed friendliness to He Xuran, perhaps ready to avenge him!

Yang Weiweng had witnessed Fu Meng smack a criminal into the air.

Wei Shen, so weak, might just meet King Yan soon.

Yu Tingwan couldn’t stand the He Family woman’s feigned fragility.

This subsequent wife of the He family was notorious for her tactics. Had she not said enough slanderous things about Lady Xiao?

Once when the weather was abruptly warm and cold, Yu’s Aunt went to town to deliver clothes to her cousin Zhao Yu and encountered her.

Yu’s Aunt was furious, ready to leave upon spotting the filth, only to be stopped by her, who said many sarcastic things.

Also saying Lady Xiao was ill-fated...

How could Yu Tingwan look kindly upon her?

There were other reasons, of course.

This woman’s gentle facade was nothing compared to Wei Zhao.

After all, when Wei Zhao was weak, it was genuinely smooth, unblemished by any acting. Lying on the bed like a lamb to the slaughter, he was somewhat alluring. Even a mere sigh from him worried Yu Tingwan about him getting scratched or bruised.

No matter how many tears this He family woman shed, Yu Tingwan wouldn’t spare an extra glance.

The girl sneered: "Don’t speak such nonsense. If it’s innocent, does that mean the child in Lady Xiao’s belly deserved to die?"

She was no saint, her heart hard as stone. How could she lose her mind showing pity for an enemy’s child?

"Not mentioning Lady Xiao’s matters, merely the He family’s bribing of officials and secret wicked deeds are enough to have your entire family executed!"

Rong Di arrived at this moment.

After secretly handing the collected evidence of the He family’s crimes to the Wei Family Army, he hid in the crowd watching Yu ting...

Watching Madame!

Admittedly, she had the aura of a future Young Madam of Duke Shun Mansion!

Now, the He family’s scandalous deeds over the years, and the entire story of Lady Xiao’s death, were laid bare in front of He Xuran.

He Xuran read slowly, the chill at the corner of his mouth growing denser.

Yu Tingwan: "Lady Xiao was eight months pregnant back then yet ended up with a fate of two lives lost. Her body was full of bloody holes, not a spot intact."

"When we came to retrieve her, the blood on her body had already dried. Yet you held onto her life."

"I truly don’t understand why the He family wanted to kill her? Not even sparing the child in her belly!"

"Who did it? Or was the entire He family involved."

The girl’s knees bent, kneeling again.

Rong Di: !!!

He was suddenly worried.

"Why...why kneel now!"

How could He Xuran bear it!

His heart trembled.

The surrounding people glanced at him.

"What are you saying, young man? That woman is Mrs. Wei, in disputes, unless you have scholarly status, common folk must kneel to be judged."

He understood the reasoning, but Rong Di wouldn’t listen.

The people beside continued.

"The woman had kneeled earlier, but out of extreme anger, she jumped up to stomp on people. Who would have thought, she’s quite fierce despite her thin frame."

Rong Di: ...

Stomping’s nothing.

She’s about to climb over the General’s head.

Rong Di glanced at He Xuran, seated still as a mountain.

With a protective nature like the General’s...

He silently mourned for He Xuran.

At this moment, Yu Tingwan clarified each word: "For the one with grievous crimes, heavy punishment is certain. This is the unchanging principle of heaven and earth, and I plead for the insight of Sir, to grant justice to the Wei Family."
