BXBX NOVEL Chapter 612 - 612: Turn Things Around
Starting from Zhang Wu, everyone testified that Su Han had endured a lot in the Regional Prince’s Mansion. As the steward, she was the best mistress imaginable.
However, the master of the Regional Prince’s Mansion had always taken advantage of her kindness, mistreated her, and bullied her.
The servants recounted in detail how she had been put in difficult situations in the Regional Prince’s Mansion over the past few years, as well as how she had been forced to do menial and exhausting work in the mansion after her surgery.
Su Dingwei and Qin Wan, who had accompanied Su Han for so many days, felt like their hearts were being torn apart when they heard the servants’ testimony.
How could they have imagined that the marriage they had been so satisfied with would push their daughter into such a dire situation?
In the hall, the people from the Regional Prince’s Mansion had very unpleasant expressions.
Chu Xiaotian was the most fiercely criticized. As Su Han’s husband, he felt utterly incompetent. Instead of protecting Su Han, his actions made things worse, and Su Han almost lost her life because of his negligence.
Madam Sheng and Min Jia were particularly embarrassed. Madam Sheng, once envied as the former Regional Princess, a noblewoman of the imperial family, was now exposed as someone so willful and cruel, who bullied her daughter-in-law.
In the future, she wouldn’t have the courage to face anyone among the noblewomen of Jiang Du City.
Min Jia was even more frightened. Not only was she being cursed at behind her back, but Su Yingxue’s piercing gaze also occasionally swept over her. Trembling, she couldn’t help but think of Su Jinxuan.
If Su Jinxuan were here, how wonderful it would be if he could protect her!
Liang Jin listened to everyone’s testimony and reevaluated the case. The conclusion was, “The Regional Prince’s Mansion abused the Regional Princess. After her injury and surgery, she was not treated with respect due to being a Regional Princess. Instead, she was forced to do rough labor, subjected to beatings, and mistreated, which goes against proper etiquette!”
“Lord Liang, in my opinion, there are many suspicious aspects to this case. The original witnesses have all recanted their testimony today, which is highly suspicious. Their testimony cannot be relied upon. Furthermore, I believe that all these individuals should be expelled from the Regional Prince’s Mansion and never employed by noble families again! Such disloyal servants will only bring harm to their masters!”
Chu Chengye’s words nearly drove Zhang Wu and the others to despair!
He even threatened them, stating the consequences of going against the Regional Prince’s Mansion.
Zhang Wu and the others were not without fear, but he raised his head and declared loudly, “Even if we are expelled from the Regional Prince’s Mansion, we will never change our testimony. We may lose our livelihoods, but we will not lose our integrity!”
This was what they had learned from Su Han!
The other servants echoed his sentiment, and the atmosphere in the court became tense.
Chu Chengye frowned. None of the Regional Prince’s Mansion’s servants were obedient. Overthrowing them would not be easy!
Moreover, Liang Jin stated, “Seventh Prince, these servants have been under the surveillance of my guards since they filed the case with me. Upon investigation, my guards found no evidence of their contact with Su Han, so they could not refute their testimony. I believe their testimony is valid!”
“Lord Liang, I disagree. This is Su Yingxue’s scheme. It must be her!”
Chu Xiaotian’s face turned pale.
He had neglected the servants at home and left everything to Su Han. However, he had already taken control of their families with their lives as leverage.
He was certain that these servants would not betray him!
But now, what was happening?
