Eighth Ye's Savage Concubine

Chapter 259 What is the crime?

Turning his head to look at Yuan Hua, Wei Lianggui's eyes were as sharp as a knife.

Yuan Hua met his malicious gaze, knowing in her heart that he was setting herself a trap.

Guessing Wei Lianggui's plan, Yuan Hua slightly raised the corner of his mouth, and said without hesitation: "I've been there."

"Hmph!" Seeing Yuanhua falling into his trap, Wei Lianggui snorted coldly, and turned to face the magistrate: "My lord, the princess has already admitted that she seriously injured the son of the grass people yesterday, and I ask you to make the decision for the grass people!"

"This……"

Glancing at Wei Lianggui kneeling on the ground, the county magistrate turned to look at Yuan Hua again.

He scratched his head, looking very embarrassed.

Before the county magistrate could speak, Bai Jinchu said suddenly: "Master Wei is confusing the public. The princess only admitted that she went to your house yesterday, but she never admitted that Mr. Ling was seriously injured."

"That's right, the princess didn't admit that she seriously injured Mr. Wei."

The county magistrate nodded again and again, agreeing with Bai Jinchu's words very much.

Seeing that the county magistrate had been helping Yuan Hua, Wei Lianggui frowned slightly in displeasure.

He opened his mouth, just about to say something more.

But before the words came out, a cold voice suddenly came to my ears: "Mr. Wei was indeed seriously injured by this princess."

"My lord, she admitted it!"

Raising his finger to Yuan Hua, Wei Lianggui looked excitedly at the county magistrate sitting above.

The people guarding the door widened their eyes in disbelief when they heard Yuan Hua's words.

"No way, Her Royal Highness actually admitted that she seriously injured Mr. Wei?"

"Is there something hidden in it? How could someone as good as the princess hurt someone for no reason?"

"I think the princess must have been irritated by Wei Lianggui, so she followed his words."

"Yes, yes, no matter what, I believe the princess is innocent!"

The common people outside the yamen were noisy, the county magistrate picked up the gavel and slapped the public case hard: "Quiet!"

As his voice fell, the people outside the yamen really stopped discussing, and all quietly poked their heads and looked inside.

Seeing that the outside became quiet, the county magistrate then turned to look at Yuan Hua: "Princess, Wei...was Young Master Wei really seriously injured by you?"

Looking at Yuan Hua nervously, the county magistrate was deeply afraid that she would say something that would embarrass him.

Under his nervous gaze, Yuan Hua didn't answer and asked instead: "May I ask the county magistrate, if someone tries to moles the princess, what crime should he be?"

"Of course it's a death penalty!" The county magistrate answered decisively. In just a moment, he suddenly realized: "Could it be that the person the princess is talking about is Mr. Wei!"

A stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the people standing outside the yamen heard the county magistrate's speculation, and they all exploded.

"Young master of the Wei family wants to molest the princess, you must be too brave."

"No wonder the princess hurt him badly, Mr. Wei deserves it!"

"Isn't that right, Mr. Wei is committing a crime of his own accord, and this master of the Wei family has the face to beat drums outside the Yamen to complain about his grievances."

"Tsk tsk tsk, I've lived most of my life. I haven't seen any kind of person. This is the first time I've seen such a shameless person like Mr. Wei."

The voices of the common people's discussions came to Yuan Hua's ears verbatim.

Yuan Hua was noncommittal, and looked ahead indifferently.

Wei Lianggui lowered his eyes, a trace of panic appeared on his face.

In his perception, a woman's reputation is more important than her life.

If Yuan Hua admits that he seriously injured his son yesterday, according to her status in Wuyang Kingdom, it will only damage her reputation and will not threaten her life.
