Chapter 69: False Testimony

The Gu clan leader, was dressed in a gray robe, his hair and beard were frosty white, and he looked spirited and vigorous. When he stood there, he was very imposing.

He held one hand behind his back and leaned on a cane with the other: “Liu Guixiang, did you and Young lady Gu break Song Dalang’s leg?”

“Clan leader, I have a fiery temper, but I’ve never done anything to harm others!”

Despite her fierce and domineering nature, Mother Gu deeply respected the Gu clan leader. She was afraid that he would believe Madam Jiang’s words, so she hurriedly explained: “Don’t listen to Madam Jiang’s nonsense. She bears a grudge against me and is trying to smear me with her malicious intentions. We didn’t do this, and we’re not afraid of you sending someone to investigate!”

Clan leader Gu had seen countless people, and Mother Gu was straightforward. She couldn’t hide anything, and it was all written on her face.

Mother Gu was unaware of Song Dalang’s situation.

Seeing that Clan leader Gu didn’t speak, Madam Jiang became anxious. Both families had the surname Gu, and she was afraid that he would favor Mother Gu.

Clan leader Gu spoke: “Madam Jiang, where is your witness?”

“I’ll have someone bring the witness over.” As Madam Jiang turned around, she saw Song Manfu leading the way, and two young men carrying Song Dalang on a door panel.

“Dalang!” Madam Jiang hurried over. Seeing that Song Dalang had woken up, tears fell like rain, and she choked up and asked: “Dalang, tell your mother, was it Su Wan and Liu Guixiang who hurt you?”

Song Dalang didn’t see clearly who it was, and he didn’t have a grudge against anyone. Besides Su Wan, he couldn’t think of anyone else!

She must have known the news in advance and took the initiative!

“Dalang, the clan leader is here, you just speak, he will stand up for you.” Madam Jiang only then noticed that there were two unfamiliar people who came with Song Dalang.

She was overjoyed in her heart, guessed the identities of the two people, suppressed her excitement, and asked Song Dalang: “Are these the witnesses?”

Song Dalang’s face was pale, and he stared at Su Wan with a malicious gaze: “They saw the perpetrator.”

Madam Jiang couldn’t help but be overjoyed, and said to Clan Leader Gu: “Our witnesses are here, they have seen the murderer!”

She also shouted at the two men: “Why don’t you come over and tell Clan Leader Gu carefully, is it these two cheap people who made my son disabled?” Madam Jiang pointed between Su Wan and Mother Gu.

The two men were tall and thin, with thorny wounds on their faces, making them look fierce.

They stared at Su Wan with bulging eyes, their necks still aching faintly. The two brothers thought of what happened last night, and their hearts were burning with anger.

They bit their tongues against their cheeks, wanting to drag this woman, Su Wan, into the water.

Suddenly, a chill ran down their spines, and they turned their heads to look back.

Mo Yuan was standing at the entrance of the courtyard. His gaze was as cold as a sharp knife, making people feel awe.

The fear dominated by pain made them shiver, and the evil thoughts that had risen were suppressed in the bud.

“Did you see Young lady Gu and Liu Guixiang commit the crime?” Clan Leader Gu asked with a stern face.

“No, it’s not like that!” The two men put away the fierceness and cunning in their eyes, and took out a money bag from their sleeves: “We were bribed by Song Dalang to ambush at under Qingfeng Mountain to break Su Wan’s leg. We buried nails and wires on the road as per Song Dalang’s request. He didn’t see clearly, and the wire tripped him, making his knees knelt on the nails, and he was in so much pain that he rolled down the hillside. When we went to pick him up, we found that his kneecap was broken. We didn’t dare to stay, so we left him and ran away.”

“Yes, yes, yes, that’s it. Song Dalang sent someone to find us again. We thought it was to return the money, so we came. Who knew he wanted us brothers to bear false witness and frame Su Wan for injuring his leg.”

The faces of Madam Jiang and Song Dalang suddenly changed!
