“There’s no such thing.” Mrs. Cui quickly denied this.
However, the uneasiness in her eyes was clearly seen by King An. It seemed she may have caused Mrs. Gu’s death; this meant he did not have to be polite any further.
He looked at Yang Wanning and asked, “Do you have any evidence?”
“She did harm my mother, but 1 don’t have conclusive evidence for her murder.
“But 1 have evidence of the person who harmed me.
“As for corrupting my brother, my brother heard it with his ears. I knew of this too.” Yang Wanning said.
“Did you bring your evidence?”
“No, I originally intended to let go of this since she’s getting executed. Since she would be executed in such a disgraceful way, for my father’s sake, I didn’t want to pursue the matter.
“But since she wanted to drag my mother’s name through the mud before her death, I can’t tolerate this anymore.” Yang Wanning wiped her tears and continued, “All my evidence and witnesses are ready for presentation anytime.”
“Speak; 1 will send someone to get them.” King An quickly called a team of soldiers over.
Yang Wanning turned around and led a group of soldiers to the side. She told them the location of her evidence and witnesses in a low voice.
After the soldiers heard this, they greeted King An and quickly galloped away on their horses.
Mrs. Cui was panicking at this moment. She did not expect Yang Wanning to have gathered witnesses and evidence of her crimes. When did she start collecting them, and how much did she collect?
What should she do?
“Wanning, don’t forget that your surname is Yang.” Madam Cui warned Yang Wanning.
She didn’t want to bother, but she spoke up when she considered Yang Shicheng’s future.
“Of course, I know my surname is Yang. But no matter what, I can’t just watch my mother’s name get dragged through the mud.
“For example, if someone claimed you murdered my grandfather, do you think my father would not care?”
“You…”
“From the moment you forced me to ask King Rui for his betrothal gifts to subsidize Yang Wanyu’s, our relationship was over.
“Moreover, since we were young, you’ve never liked us siblings.
“Especially me. You never even gave me a piece of candy. You won’t deny this, right?”
Madam Cui looked at Yang Wanning’s cold gaze and could only turn her head away and ignore her. She then gave Mrs. Cui a look.
When Mrs. Cui received her gaze, her heart turned cold. However, for the sake of her two children’s future, she finally compromised.
As long as she refused to admit it, no one could do anything to her.
These exchanges did not escape Yang Wanning’s eyes, but she ignored them.
It didn’t matter to her how many crimes she could convict the soon-to-be executed Mrs. Cui of because she just wanted to leave the Yang family.
Once word got out today, not many people would believe that Mrs. Cui was innocent.
Sure enough, the crowd was in an uproar. They booed Mrs. and Madam Cui and even Yang Shicheng. They knew it was impossible for him not to know about this happening in his household.
Those who knew his background immediately spat in disdain. After all, he was a typical example of someone who relied on his in-laws to start his career. It was shameful for him to treat his first wife and two children like this.
Of course, there was no shortage of gossip in the capital. In a short while, a ton of old gossip was dug up. Most of them were about stepmothers abusing stepsons, daughters bullying illegitimate children, etc.
About 15 minutes later, the guards rushed over with Yang Wanning’s evidence and witnesses.
Of course, Gu Chengrui and King Rui, who had been informed in advance, also rushed over.
King Rui did not approach the execution ground. Instead, he stopped in an alley a distance away.
After the witnesses and evidence were brought up, Yang Wanning pointed at the scholar and explained loudly how Mrs. Cui and her daughter plotted against her marriage..
