Chapter 430 - 432: Sons are the Best_1
Li Qiao’s heart was again conflicted, and she decided to help the woman. She said, "In a case like this, how should it be judged?"
Mao Yawen looked back at the door and whispered, "Emotional disputes tend to be judged more leniently. I’ve inquired about this case; she won’t die, she’ll be sentenced to ten or twenty years, and if she behaves, her sentence could be reduced."
"Ten or twenty years? Won’t she turn into an old woman by the time she gets out? Who will take care of her husband’s illness? In my opinion, the woman was acting in self-defense, at most guilty of mishandling the body. Tomorrow, I’ll go back to the school and ask a professor from the law faculty, see if someone can do a not-guilty defense for her."
Mao Yawen felt the same sympathy, as the deceased, being a doctor, should have been treating people, not bullying the lower class using his position—a truly shameless act, he got what he deserved. "You can try," she said.
Li Qiao said, "I know a doctor who is highly skilled in medicine. Where is the woman’s husband?"
"Her husband came to Beijing a few days ago, saying he would wait for the woman’s verdict. I’ll get in touch," Mao Yawen and Li Qiao discussed when and where to meet next, played with the child for a while, and then took her leave.
Li Qiao escorted her to the door and, once the other party had gone far, she closed the courtyard door and said to Qin Jin, "You’ve heard the case just now. Ah, that woman is really pitiable. Fortunately, I didn’t have a daughter. If a girl encounters that kind of person, her whole life would be ruined."
Qin Jin said, "You can’t just take the woman’s word for it, though."
Li Qiao said, "...A forensic doctor can generally deduce the circumstances of the fight based on the deceased’s injuries. Yawen clearly stated that the woman’s account must have been verified through multiple inquiries and investigations, so how can we not believe it? Are you empathizing with the man?"
Qin Jin said, "....How did it suddenly become about me? Don’t wrongfully accuse me."
Li Qiao huffed and squatted down in front of Qin Baby, "Baby, if your father has another woman in the future, I won’t stay with him. Who would you stay with?"
