The stand-in didn't take it seriously for three years, and the minister was furious when they b

Chapter 196 Who is he?

"Mayfair!"

The old lady was the first to show displeasure. She felt that the man was too ignorant. How could he say such misleading words at this time?

However, before she could say anything else, the sound of a gavel came from the stage:

"Madam, please abide by the rules of public trial and do not interfere with the trial. Otherwise, I will take your testimony into consideration."

The old lady choked and sat back down on the chair she had just left. She laughed dryly and dared not speak again.

Then, Mr. Bao looked around and stopped at the butler and the servant who were watching from the outside:

"Are there any servants here who serve the second house, or anyone who knows, please raise your hands. This is related to your master, and it will be a great achievement for the Marquis' Mansion! I wonder if what the Crown Prince's Concubine said is true?"

The housekeeper didn't say anything, but after an elderly man took the lead and shouted "Yes", others followed suit.

Touching his temples, Ling Wenzhan did not seem flustered, and took over the conversation and explained:

"Sir, there might be some on my temples or other places on my face that I didn't notice before. I have already said that I was bitten by a poisonous snake, which is why I lost an eye and destroyed half of my face. The poisonous blood of that snake is very strong. Any place that has been infected by the snake for a long time will be damaged. That spot might have been splashed, and then it disappeared after the scab formed."

"As a man, I value talent and learning more. I didn't pay much attention to my appearance before, and I didn't pay much attention to these details. But after my face was disfigured, I started to care a little. I rarely look in the mirror, and I really don't care if there are moles on my body or they have faded."

"Your Excellency, I have been under the influence of drugs for most of the past three years. Some parts of my body have been affected and changed, and I really cannot control it."

"In fact, it doesn't really matter to me whether I recognize my ancestors or not in my current state. I don't know how long this broken body can last. It's just that my mother is old and I feel sorry for my wife, so I want to show my filial piety before I die and repay the debt of love in this life."

Ling Wenzhan was moved by what he said. When he mentioned Mu Lianzhi, he turned around and gave her a long look, which almost made Mu Lianzhi vomit on the spot.

It must be said that everyone will sympathize with the weak, and his pitiful appearance can still attract some sympathy. There was a moment of silence in the field. At this time, another yamen runner who went to invite Ling Yuyao arrived at the door:

"Sir, Sang Ling is here to invite you——"

Ever since being abused in the small dark room, Ling Yuyao has been in a daze, especially afraid to see people. She has lost a lot of weight, her face is pale, her eyes are blue, and her cheekbones are protruding, looking a little scary.

Her mind was actually blank throughout the journey.

Led into the hall by the bailiff, she looked around, then lowered her head to look at her clothes, pinched the hem of her skirt, then patted and rubbed it hard. She stood in the hall, did not salute, and did not move for a long time. No one knew what she was thinking.

Seeing her daughter, the old lady subconsciously raised her hand, but Ling Yuyao seemed to have lost her soul. She had no reaction at all, and there was a weird feeling of confusion all over her body.

When everyone present saw this scene, eight out of ten of them were nervous.

Observing her, the judges looked at each other in bewilderment. Bao subconsciously reached for the gavel again. However, before he could move, Ling Wenzhan spoke first:

"Yuyao, little sister——"

The next second, Ling Yuyao jumped up, and the entire lobby instantly exploded:

"what!"

"Who are you? Ghost, don't come over here, go away!"

"I don't know you, you got the wrong person, you pervert! You ugly bastard!"

"Get away!"

"I don't know you, I don't know you, I haven't seen you, I..."

Screaming and jumping, Ling Yuyao was either spinning or tumbling, like a madman. Finally, she rushed to the old lady, grabbed her and kept hiding behind her:

"Mother, who is he?"

"Send him away and don't come over here anymore!"

"Mother--"

The people present originally thought that she was frightened or had mental problems, but she happened to know the old lady, so many people stood up but forgot what to do.

The old lady was also startled by her, and was even more angry at her. However, before she could even catch her breath, Ling Yuyao rushed to Ling Yuchi and Jiang Shi again and grabbed one of them with one hand:

"Brother and sister-in-law, save me."

"Who is he? I don't know him. I don't know him. Please save me. Save me."

"very scary."

As she muttered, the presiding judge, Mr. Bao, also noticed something was wrong, and immediately looked at the yamen runners beside him:

"what happened?"

"Your Excellency, when I went to invite her, the people from the Sang Mansion said that she had been in poor health and low spirits recently, and occasionally became a little suspicious. They said that as long as she was careful and not provoked, she would be fine. I came here to recognize her and ask a few questions. I discussed it with the Sang Mansion and obtained their consent before I brought people here. Here-"

Who would have thought of this?

Waving his hand, Bao was about to have someone send the person back when two men who looked like servants rushed in from outside the courtyard:

"Manager Wang, you are not dead? It's great that you are still alive."

"I heard that you drank too much and forgot to close the window at night, and you were accidentally bitten to death by a poisonous snake. Xiao Si and I were very sad for a long time. Unfortunately, it was too late when we found out. We couldn't even find a place to burn incense for you."

"Didn't you say you were going back to your hometown for burial? Why are you here?"

"After you left, our Lucaifang was even raided... Well, it was better to work with you, as it was better to lean on a big tree for shade! Now that you are gone, the Pingyong Marquis's Mansion doesn't care about us workers anymore."

"I heard that you have a close relationship with the Marquis' Mansion and have always lived in the manor outside the Marquis' Mansion? I would say that you are very lucky. How could you be bitten to death by a snake in such a large yard with so many people?"

“I don’t know who spread the rumor.”

"Manager Wang, I didn't expect to meet you here, you..."

As he spoke, the servant in coarse linen clothes had bruises on his face, but he cried bitterly at Ling Wenzhan. The servant who chased him stared at the man in the wheelchair in astonishment, and after a moment, he knelt on the ground with a plop:

"Manager Wang, it's really you."

"If I had known you were still alive, I would not have fought with Xiao Gu over those little things just for your sake, woo woo."

The two servants almost burst into tears on the spot, but everyone present changed their expressions. The old lady felt dizzy, and Ling Wenzhan was so angry that his face turned green:

"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't even know you!"

"Ah? Manager Wang, I am Xiao Gu, the errand boy at Lu Cai Fang. Please take a closer look. I am Xiao Gu."

"Well, there's also me, Xiaowu."

The two of them were still staring at each other in bewilderment. On the main seat, Mr. Bao slammed the gavel down with a bang:

"Who do you think he is?"
