Chapter 367 - 337: Drawing Cards
The Judgment Chief pondered briefly before agreeing to Haye’s request for a temporary adjournment.
Two groups of people left their seats and exited the courtroom. Over at Miao Yin’s side, they hurriedly conversed in low voices with Arctic and the others, urgently discussing their strategy.
Li Cheng’s strategy of separate adjudication for the two crimes was a devastating blow. For Miao Yin, even if Xiao Shui were put in jail for three to ten years, it would be worthless if she couldn’t obtain any property. She must find another way.
"Disgusting, truly disgusting!"
In the defendant’s waiting room, Star Lord Xiao Shui paced back and forth, his tone filled with indignation as his teeth ground together in anger.
From the trial performance, it seemed he wasn’t wearing any cuckold’s hat, or maybe he never had one. But his "first encounter" with Miao Yin was likely premeditated.
Realizing that the only beautiful memory left in his mind was fabricated, and having slept with an old woman who lied about her age for years with an intention to entrap him,
Xiao Shui felt extremely uncomfortable, wishing he could draw his sword and slash something.
"If you’re in pain, you can cry it out,"
Li Cheng consoled him: "Or you can sit on the floor of a private shower, scrubbing your body with a towel diligently while crying to show your grief."
"? What a classic scene from old domestic TV dramas where the heroine is deceived of her money and affection."
