"Do you know why I brought you to Dali Temple?"
Mrs. Bai thought about it again and again, but she really couldn't figure out why the people from Dali Temple arrested her.
"The women don't know."
Ding Yan slapped the table hard.
"What an unknown person! The people of the Su family sued you, saying that you secretly exchanged a child of the Su family twenty years ago. The eldest son of the Bai family now actually belongs to the Su family, and the eldest son of the Su family is your biological child. .”
When Mrs. Bai heard this, her pupils shrank sharply and her eyes were filled with shock, but she quickly lowered her head.
"The women of the common people really don't know. What you are saying is untrue."
"When Mrs. Su Lian gave birth, you were just in the road, so she asked the women who were waiting around you to help. The Su family had already come to Dali Temple to meet people. Mrs. Huang was one of the women who helped."
"Folk women really don't know."
Ding Yan couldn't help but soften a little when he heard this voice.
"I also know that when the Bai family suffered a great disaster, you did this just for the sake of your own son. In recent years, the children of the Su family have lived a life of rich clothing and fine food in the Bai family. In fact, for you now This is an opportunity. If you admit that the children of the two families were indeed exchanged back then, and if you take the children back now, the most you can do is compensate the Su family for some money. Are you still short of that money?"
After listening to Ding Yan's words, Mrs. Bai had a lot of thoughts in her mind, why didn't she want to recognize her son back? She had been looking forward to it day and night, hoping that her son would come back to her. This was indeed an opportunity.
Seeing that Mrs. Bai showed signs of loosening up, Ding Yan added fuel to the fire.
"The Su family said that if the children of the two families are exchanged, they will not hold you responsible. You only need to compensate the Su family for one hundred thousand taels of silver, which is only a month's expense for your Bai family. , not a big deal.”
"Sir, the children of the two families were indeed exchanged. I regretted it very much afterwards, but I changed them and couldn't change them back later."
The clerk on the side had already written the confession. At Ding Yan's signal, the clerk carried the confession brush on a tray to Mrs. Bai.
"Take a look. If you think it's right, write your name on it."
Mrs. Bai looked at what was written on it and found that it was exactly what he said. She picked up a pen and wrote her name on it, thinking that just like this, she could get her son back and her sins these days would not be in vain. by.
When Ding Yan saw Mrs. Bai writing her name on it, a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Sir, can civilian women go back?"
"No, since you have admitted that the children of the two families have been exchanged, now let's talk about you poisoning the Su family's daughter."
"Sir! This is none of my business, I don't know!"
"Do you think I would say this if I wasn't completely sure? Although the daughter of the Su family was only four years old back then, she still remembered Mrs. Huang's appearance and recognized Mrs. Huang as the person who poisoned her. You are Mrs. Huang's master. If If it wasn't because of your orders, it's possible that Mrs. Huang made her own decision. Do you think I will believe it?
Mrs. Bai never expected that Su Yu would remember Mrs. Huang. You must know that Su Yu was only four years old at the time. Logically speaking, four-year-old children have no memory. Thinking of this, Mrs. Bai suddenly felt like a deflated rubber ball and slumped down on the chair.
"Yes, I asked Nanny Huang to poison her."
In fact, Mrs. Bai's life has been quite smooth. Apart from being selfish, she has no scheming at all. Otherwise, she would not have been bullied by Father Bai and her aunts after she got married. When she was a girl, she was raised by her mother's family. She gave birth to a son less than a year after marrying into the White House. People in the house bullied her, and she would only pretend to be sick to escape reality. This escape was seven Eight years later, when Bai Yan grew up and was able to protect her, her life became much easier. She had never seen such a battle as today, and Ding Yan had coerced and lured her into it.
Nanny Huang was now gagged and locked up in the room next door. She could hear the voices of several people next door but couldn't speak. Seeing that her wife had all been attacked, she had nothing to struggle with. All of them were recruited cleanly.
Today is the day for the trial. Ding Yan sent people to the Su family early in the morning and called all the Su family to Dali Temple. When Mrs. Bai was interrogating, the Su family was in another room nearby and reported what Mrs. Bai had said. I heard them all clearly.
Su Sheng's hands clenched into fists under his clothes, his lips trembled, and he kept asking himself why? Why was he born to such a vicious woman? Seeing Su Sheng's appearance, Su Yu stepped forward and patted his shoulder to express comfort.
Su Sheng looked at Su Yu and was immediately ashamed. His parents favored his younger sister, but that man actually poisoned his younger sister. What kind of person could come up with such a vicious method?
After Ding Yan finished reviewing the case, he came to the house where the Su family stayed.
"Miss Su, what do you plan to do next?"
This can be regarded as a favor that Ding Yan sold to Su Yu. The crime Mrs. Bai committed can be either big or small, it all depends on whether the Su family will hold her accountable. If the mistress doesn't hold her accountable, the sentence will be lighter, but if the mistress does, the matter can be serious.
Su Yu glanced at Su Sheng and thought that Bai Yan also grew up in Bai Mansion.
"Master Ding, please go and tell Mrs. Bai. As long as she is willing to pay one million taels of silver, my family will not pursue this matter. However, Aunt Huang must be sentenced to exile. This is my family's condition."
After hearing what Su Yu said, Ding Yan stopped asking any more questions.
"Okay, I'll go in and tell her right now. If she agrees, she can leave now."
Su Yu never thought of letting Mrs. Bai go. She no longer has Nanny Huang by her side, and her eldest brother is not in the house. She believes that Father Bai and those aunts and concubines alone will be enough for her to drink in the future. Yes, sometimes watching with your own eyes the things you care about are lost bit by bit, like cutting flesh with a dull knife. This is the greatest punishment for a person.
When Ding Yan came back to the house again and told Mrs. Bai about this matter, Mrs. Bai couldn't disagree. He immediately agreed without even a pause. Aunt Huang in the next room immediately turned red. She Madam brought her from her natal family. It can be said that she grew up with Madam. Although she was a servant in her heart, she always protected Madam as her own relative and never married in her life. If she hadn't protected the eldest young master when he was young, my wife might not have survived long enough for him to grow up. But listening to the emotionless voice next door, Nanny Huang knew that she had been completely given up.
But she couldn't understand that even a cat or a dog would have feelings, let alone a person. The friendship with his wife for more than thirty years could be lost just like that.
After everyone agreed, people from Dali Temple followed Mrs. Bai back to the Bai Mansion, took out 1.1 million taels of silver notes and brought them back to the Su family. Mrs. Bai returned to the house and hurriedly packed up, and then she couldn't wait to let people go. Asked where Su Sheng was now, she was going to take her son back.
Bai Yan was standing outside the house at this time, looking at his mother who was busy and happy, sighed without saying anything, and left indifferently.
