The Dead Villainess Is Pregnant With The Male Lead's Child (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 97
“Prince Caspian did indeed associate with them, but the prince was merely present and never actively participated in any acts of violence. This is an undeniable fact!”
Sandra dabbed her tears with a handkerchief and continued speaking. Her earnest voice rang out clearly.
“All the evidence and testimony presented so far point solely to those five individuals as the perpetrators of the assault—but nothing has emerged to definitively identify which among them was the instigator!”
The courtroom instantly stirred. Sandra’s words sounded reasonable. The faces of Caspian and his group seated in the defendant’s section twisted grotesquely.
“I request that the court distinguish between the instigator of the violence and those who were not, and weigh their culpability accordingly. If the prince bears any guilt at all, it is merely the fault of having chosen the wrong friends. The true mastermind behind all these violent acts is none other than Viscount Lois Pallen!”
The moment Lois’s name left Sandra’s lips, he shot up from his seat. His clenched fists trembled violently as he glared alternately at Sandra and Caspian, his eyes bloodshot.
“It was Viscount Lois Pallen who showed interest in Lady Frida Mitchell—but when she rejected his affections, it was again Viscount Lois Pallen who plotted this assault out of vengeance. Prince Caspian was merely present at the scene.”
Murmurs grew louder from every corner of the room.
“If what Her Imperial Majesty the Empress Dowager says is true, then His Highness Prince Caspian must be feeling terribly wronged by all this.”
“But still—doesn’t it seem odd? Even if he is a prince, would he really have gone along so willingly with Viscount Pallen’s scheme? He’s in a position where he could simply refuse anything he didn’t want to do.”
“Now that you mention it… that’s a fair point…”
Doubt began to settle on the onlookers’ faces.
Veronica caught sight of the faintest upward curl at the corner of Sandra’s mouth. Apparently, Sandra believed she had achieved her goal—planting a seed of suspicion in the crowd’s minds.
‘Is that really so? This time, I won’t let things unfold according to your wishes.’
After Sandra returned to her seat upon completing her testimony, Count Pallen—the father of Lois Pallen—rose next.
After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
