After returning home, the Crown Princess can no longer hide her vest!

Chapter 315 Are you sure you want to continue suing?
Madam Huo smiled faintly, "Lang'er has been wandering outside for many years. It's all the fault of us elders."

"Now that we have finally recognized the child, we must double the compensation. Otherwise, wouldn't it be unworthy of being an elder?" The old lady bowed to Princess Guo, "I hope the princess understands."

Princess Guo is quite difficult to understand.

In theory, the Huo family should not interfere in this matter.

How much affection can a granddaughter who has been thrown in the countryside for so many years have when she is only recognized for a day or two?

Look at Yu Shoudao's family. Even his own father and mother have never said a word for Yu Linlang. She, as a grandmother, jumped out to protect her. I don't know what the meaning is.

Princess Anyang smiled gently at Madam Huo, "The old lady loves her granddaughter, and Second Sister can understand it."

"Everything depends on how Lord Ximen judges this case."

Ximen Bugui looked at the group of ignorant people in the hall with an expressionless face.

Very good, very good! They all kept jumping around on their Jade Fox's head, thinking that they didn't die early enough!

Especially that Yu Shoudao, he disliked him extremely!
If he had not been in the court, Ximen Bugui would have smashed Yu Shoudao's face with seventeen or eighteen gavels.

He took a deep breath, waved his hand and said, "Bring the prisoner...bring up the old man from the Xia family!"

Soon, a thin old man with a hunched back was brought up.

The old man was over sixty years old. He had a circle of white cloth wrapped around his head, with blood oozing out. He looked skinny and pitiful.

Yu Linlang turned to look at him, her eyes cold.

The old man shrank his head and didn't dare to look at Yu Linlang. When he was brought to the court, he fell to the ground, kowtowed and shouted, "Master, I, Xia Wangzu, am suing my adopted granddaughter Yu Linlang for being unfilial, unfraternal, unkind, and unjust. I have a black heart and a rotten lung, and I have no regard for propriety, righteousness, integrity, and morality. I hope Master will make a decision for me."

Ximen Bugui had a cold face and sneered: "Do you know who you are suing?"

"I know! I am suing Yu Linlang for murdering my adoptive grandfather for her own selfish desires and hiring assassins to block my way to prevent me from going to the capital!"

"I have had bad luck and a lot of misfortunes. I only have one son and one daughter, who died of illness many years ago. My daughter is Yu Linlang's adoptive mother. Although Xia is not good at writing, she is gentle, respectful, humble and polite. It can be said that she has never done anything to let Yu Linlang down!"

"Since Xia passed away, I have taken on the responsibility of raising my grandfather, taking great pains to run the household chores. Although I have not been able to support my grandson for many years, it is still hard work after all!"

"Now, not only does the adopted granddaughter not repay the kindness of raising her, but she is also so cruel and heartless. In order to recognize her ancestors and enter a wealthy family, she ignored the years of hard work of her adoptive mother and grandfather. In order to get rid of her adoptive mother Xia's family, she even hired a killer to try to wipe out the common people!"

"Such behavior is despicable, and it is the wrath of heaven and the people! It is completely contrary to the moral principle of the current emperor to practice filial piety at home and spread it to the outside world! I hope that the master will see through it and make a decision for the common people and the Xia family!"

Xia Wangzu bowed his head and crawled on the ground for a long time without moving at all.

The crowd was in an uproar, talking among themselves. Ximen Bugui sneered and slammed the gavel heavily, "Xia Wangzu, who taught you to say these words?"

Xia Wangzu shuddered and said, "No one taught me that everything I said is true."

"How dare you lie? I understand that you have been farming in Wuhu County, Weizhou Prefecture, for decades. You have never even seen a pen, let alone knowing how to read and write! How can a farmer who works in the fields with a hoe every day speak so eloquently?"

Xia Wangzu raised his head suddenly, "Sir! No one taught me to say these things, sir!"

Ximen Bugui sneered, "Then you explain to me what it means to be filial and to be a good person. Tell me, I am all ears."

Xia Wangzu was stunned for a long while before he stammered, "Sir... does this have anything to do with my lawsuit against Yu Linlang?"

"How is it not related?" Ximen Bugui slammed the gavel heavily. "If you can't explain it clearly, I have reason to suspect that you came here at the instigation of others and made a false complaint with ulterior motives to defame someone's reputation."

The old man was so frightened that he trembled all over, "Sir! I am innocent!"

“How dare you not tell the truth?” Ximen Bugui slammed the gavel again, “This official…”

"Master Ximen." Princess Guoguo suddenly laughed and said, "Master, what you said is wrong. How can you suspect that the farmer was sent here by someone to frame Miss Yu just because he is illiterate? There is no basis for this. Perhaps the old farmer asked a lawyer to write a petition, and the lawyer taught him to say these words."

Xia Wangzu nodded immediately upon hearing this. "Yes, sir! It was the lawyer who taught me these words. The lawyer said that if I want to sue Yu Linlang in court, I must first make my words clear so that the master and everyone present can understand the cause and effect of this matter. Only when it is made clear can the masters make the decision for me."

Guo Guo smiled and turned to Yu Linlang, and asked softly, "Miss Yu, your grandfather has said so much, why don't you respond at all? Your behavior really makes me doubt whether you are guilty or not."

Yu Linlang ignored the Princess of Guo who was in a higher position, and just turned to stare at Xia Wangzu, saying indifferently, "Grandfather, are you sure you want to continue suing me?"

These words were full of intimidation and oppression. Even the common people standing outside the court felt a chill running down their necks.

Xia Wangzu even lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Yu Linlang at all.

Guo Guo snorted and laughed, "Miss Yu, what do you mean by this? Can I understand this as a threat in court?"

"I dare not." Yu Linlang said calmly, "But I have to rely on evidence to file a lawsuit, not just make random accusations. Grandfather, please provide detailed evidence."

"For example, the assassin I sent. Another example is the receipt or proof of payment I made to the assassin. Or, there may be detailed witnesses or physical evidence."

Xia Wangzu raised his head suddenly, his eyes red as he stared at Ximen Bugui who was sitting at the head of the table, "Sir! The assassin has already fled without a trace! I am just a weak commoner, and I don't have any connections in Beijing. I hope the master will send someone to verify all this. If what I said is true, if there is any..."

"So, grandpa has no evidence at all?" Yu Linlang interrupted his boasting, "Then the person behind you who fanned the flames must not have told me in detail. What crime would be convicted of false accusation in our dynasty?"

"Yes, maybe I will tell you." Yu Linlang looked at him with a smile, "It doesn't matter if you sue me. Since I am your adopted granddaughter, because of the word filial piety, even if I am wronged by you, I will not dare to pursue the blame for you wronging me in the end."

"Otherwise, I would have truly proven my unfilial nature, right?"
