Queen of flowers - chapter 127

“Furen, the slave is really wronged! Slave have been serving in Shou’an hall for many years. None of the people there said that slave is bad. Now in less than a month after coming here, I have been treated so badly. Wang Ye is a man who does great things. It’s not unusual for him to be impatient to care about such a little thing. Slave has to ask Furen for justice! “

Zhu Ying’s sadness and crying was real. She might not have thought that Feng Liao would be so indifferent to her, right?

She had forgotten what happened to the last two who tried unsuccessfully to climb the high branch. She had not taken lessons from it, maybe she even felt she was different.

Looking at Feng Yang’s long back, Yong Ruo suppressed a smile and asked Da Han who was kneeling on the side, “What do you have to say?”

Da Han froze then confessed anxiously, “Furen, slave is really wronged! Furen ordered the slaves to treat Zhu Ying girl well, how would the slave dare not follow the order?”

“It’s a coincidence! As soon as the slave entered the room, I smelled a scorching smell, and saw Zhu Ying’s skirt folded neatly on the stool with smoke rising from it. Slave was afraid of it burning the place and rushed to pick the skirt and shook the burning incense from the skirt. Slave was glad to find it in time, and not let it cause a disaster. Zhu Ying then came in with Xiao Anzi. She insisted that Slave was burning her skirt, and that I was the one who poured water on her bed last time! “

Da Han struck his head on the ground,”I beg Furen to judge and help this slave prove his innocence!”

Zhu Ying cried out loudly, “You cheap person. I and Xiao Anzi ran into you doing it. There is witnesses and physical evidence. How dare you deny it and act innocent? You are so fearless, who has your back? Would you admit it only if Furen beat you?”

“I had done nothing. Why should I admit anything?” Da Han was so anxious that tears were coming out of his eyes. He bowed his head heavily at Yong Ruo, “Someone deliberately framed the slave! Slave is really wronged! “

Yong Ruo thought to herself, ‘The situation is very bad for Da Han!’

For her, this was also a test. If she didn’t handle it well, and kept the matter like Luo Shengmin* incident unclear, in the future, she couldn’t get any respect from her subordinates.

How could she make this fact clear and convince everyone?

Yong Ruo pondered.

Zhu Ying and Da Han were people she knew very well, and she knew their personalities well.

As an expert and a person who had a master in observation of human psychology, Yong Ruo could 100% conclude that Da Han was innocent and Zhu Ying was intentionally framing him according to their previous performances. (She is a psychologist 🙂

However, it was no longer meaningful to analyze the case. She had to collect evidence for Da Han to wash his grievances.

This was like a person killed with a knife; a passerby saw him and pulled the knife out of the deceased and the scene of when he pulled the knife happened to be photographed with a camera.

If the passer-by justified that he was only pulling the knife, and not stabbing him, would anyone believe him? If the photos were posted on the Internet, no matter how much evidence the police showed that the passer-by wasn’t the killer, the bored people would only feel that there was something shady.

It was the same thing.

No matter how she analyzed the case and judged in Da Han’s favour, others would only think that she was partial to Da Han, and even say that Da Han did these things because she instructed him to, directly turning her from a judge to a party and dragging her down the water.

Zhu Ying’s earlier words were: You are so fearless, who has your back? Would you admit it only if Furen beat you?

If she was entangled in the case, and refused to punish Da Han when all the evidence pointed to him and forgave him, wouldn’t she become the person that made Da Han fearless?

In this era, there was no principle of letting go of a suspect with no unreliable and insufficient proof to prosecute him. All the suspects were caught in the Yamen, and when one had witnesses and physical evidence, they were punished. There were very few with hard bones who could carry on before getting their judgement to the end.

If she didn’t do it this way, as long as Zhu Ying would hint it to others, and others would push her to do it, then she wouldn’t be able to help him.

Therefore, she must find another way …

Fortunately, Zhu Ying was only in her teens, and she wasn’t the kind of person who had gone through big winds and waves. She still had a considerable weakness in her heart.

When Yong Ruo glanced down, she saw Zhu Ying’s wrist.

On her fair wrist was a string of sandalwood beads band.

Generally, young maids prefered to wear beautiful bracelets made of gold and silver beads. Few people wear such dull things every day.

In her heart, Yong Ruo scrutinized all Zhu Ying’s words and deeds, and thought, ‘This girl was directed by Shen Taifei to give sterilization drugs to others. This was a bad deed. Didn’t this disturb her?’

She made up her mind, ‘There is a way, I can try it.’

Yong Ruo twisted her fingers, leaned on the pillow, and slowly said, “Whether you two are right or wrong, I already know. But in order to convince you, I will give you a chance to prove yourself.”

Miao:

Luo Shengmen was originally in Japanese [Rashomon], and was later used to refer to the boundary between the human world and hell , the difference between fact and illusion . Usually refers to: the parties to the incident each hold their own words, respectively in accordance with their own way to express proof or weave a lie, and ultimately make the truth confusing.
