Shujun’s expression was complex as he helped Dong Huiying up, his heart a tumult of different feelings.
Dong Huiying blinked at him as if to comfort him, "I’m alright, don’t worry."
Shujun’s emotions suddenly beca intense, he rembered that not long ago, when he saw the injuries on his younger brother Yue Ning, his first suspicion was her, doubting it was she who did it, she who had hurt Yue Ning.
The shock in his heart, having been given arsenic and then honey, was beyond description.
Shujun choked up a little.
"There are steps below, be careful."
Dong Huiying nodded gently, "Mhm," after she slowly made her way down, she looked towards Fang Lanshan, "May I know if the officer is now available to et?"
"Certainly."
Fang Lanshan looked deeply at Shujun, "To have a wife like her, what more could a husband ask for? He should know his blessings."
Being in the Departnt of Surveillance, Fang Lanshan had seen the cold and warm sides of human nature. She believed that for the Liang family to have a Marriage Contractor like Dong Huiying was a great fortune, a trendous fortune!
In the past, the Liang Family Brothers would have scoffed at such a notion. But this ti, the ninety ferocious strokes suffered by Dong Huiying genuinely shocked them.
Shujun watched Dong Huiying intently; she was in a sorry state, covered in blood, with her sweaty hair sticking to her face. Her normally dark little face had turned deathly white. Yet, he thought she appeared beautiful in this mont, like a radiant pearl, similar to the brilliance of the sun; she was glowing...
Liang Haoming and Liang Yuening were like two peas in a pod, their expressions in sync at this mont, both with stern faces. They walked towards Dong Huiying, their strides still strong, but their hearts were in turmoil.
They knew that today, sothing had taken root in their hearts, in the hearts of everyone in the Liang family...
At the sa ti, Zhi Chen was also helping Shu Yu towards the trio.
Since Shu Yu was unwell, his condition critical, Zhi Chen was reluctant to et his brothers too soon. Thus, after seeking dical help in vain, even though he had returned to Taihang Town, he stayed in a guesthouse in town instead of going back to the mountain village where the Liang family lived.
His main concern was that his younger brothers would worry about Shu Yu’s condition.
But today, he had a reason he must stand up, sothing he cared deeply about.
Dong Huiying had co to the Departnt of Surveillance to beat the drum and protest her innocence, but from where did her ’injustice’ originate?
"Shujun, Haoming, Yue Ning," he called the three by their nas.
The three were startled, "Big Brother?"
Then, they turned to look at Second Brother Liang Shuyu, who was Sickly and covering his mouth with a cough.
As Liang Zhichen appeared, Dong Huiying was also taken aback. She rembered encountering ’Brother Chen’ not long ago.
Was that person Liang Zhichen, Big Brother Liang Zhichen of the Liang family?
While Dong Huiying was astonished, Zhi Chen also looked deeply at Dong Huiying. Imdiately after, he turned to ask Shujun, "Has sothing happened at ho?"
Shujun: "..."
After a brief silence, he nodded slightly. "It’s Yixuan, Yixuan is in trouble."
Zhi Chen was about to ask for details, but unfortunately, Fang Lanshan had already brought the Senior Official from the Departnt of Surveillance.
"The officer, this person here is the Marriage Contractor of the Liang family of Kaoshan Village, and it was she who just now was proclaiming her grievance."
Everyone looked towards Fang Lanshan, next to whom stood a woman in her forties, dignified and dressed in an official’s robe, smiling.
"The Liang family of Kaoshan Village?"
The officer murmured, then promptly said, "I am already aware. We will hold court imdiately, and any grievances can be reported without hesitation!"
The officer led the way into the Departnt of Surveillance, and the mbers of the Liang family exchanged looks. Following behind, with Shujun’s support, Dong Huiying shuffled slowly because of her injuries, trailing behind the officer through the governnt building’s door.
Inside the court.
Out of compassion for Dong Huiying’s injuries, the officer ordered Fang Lanshan to provide a seat. Fang Lanshan swiftly brought over a chair and deliberately padded it with a cushion.
But Dong Huiying did not take the seat; instead, she straightened up, looked up at the officer with a steely resolve, her small stature exuding an awe-inspiring spirit.
"Liang Yixuan is my betrothed, and he was taken away by the Departnt of Surveillance early today, now detained in the dungeons. According to the governnt officer, Yixuan was taken because despite being engaged, he was compromised with another. However, I have several doubts."
