Chapter 613 - 178: Bosom Friend
"I’ve clung to life, survived to this very day, just for this moment," Du Juan raised her head, "to expose you and this treacherous bastard to the whole world for the heinous deeds you’ve committed in secrecy!"
"You!" Princess Yongning gnashed her teeth, seething with rage. But with government officers eyeing her like hawks, she dared not make a move. She was also shocked beyond belief, for she had thought that all of Xue Fangfei’s maids had been killed by her hand. Even Hai Tang should not be alive. Yet there she was, very much alive before her. How could this be?
Kneeling on the ground, Hai Tang recounted the events that had occurred over the years within the Shen residence, including how Shen Yurong had conspired with Princess Yongning. After devising a plot to frame Xue Fangfei, Princess Yongning brutally silenced every witness who knew too much.
Xue Huaiyuan listened, and couldn’t help but close his eyes for a moment, his palms trembling. Although Hai Tang had already told him once before, he still couldn’t help but feel heartache for his daughter when hearing it again.
How could he let Ah Li face these jackals and wolves alone!
After Hai Tang’s witness testimony was completed, another person stepped forward. This person was gentle and elegant, an attractive figure, none other than Xiao Deyin, the zither master from Mingyi Hall.
Jiang Yuanbai couldn’t hide his surprise, as he recognized Xiao Deyin, knowing she was a teacher for the daughters of the Jiang family, but he had no idea what she meant by coming forward.
Xiao Deyin also said, "I can testify that Shen Yurong and Princess Yongning indeed conspired together to frame Xue Fangfei for infidelity, and then proceeded to exterminate her lineage."
