The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 451: Sent to Death Row

Yang Manman felt that her internal organs seemed to be trembling. She swallowed hard and looked up at Pei Zhaozhi. The other party had a cold face and was full of majesty. From his expression to his eyes, everything told her that he was not just trying to scare her. If she didn't tell the truth, she might be tortured the next moment. "I, I... Yes, I hit him, but I just wanted to knock him out and run away. I really didn't expect to beat him to death!" She was too nervous at the time and could only go all out and hit him with all her strength. After seeing He Yuanwei fall down, she didn't care to check whether the other party was dead or alive. She just wanted to run away quickly. She really didn't expect that she would beat He Yuanwei to death! But... Yang Manman suddenly raised her head again, pointed at Yang Huihui, and spoke loudly to Pei Zhaozhi. "My lord, it was them. They wanted to kill me first, and then I fought back! I have evidence!" Yang Manman hurriedly pulled up her sleeves, revealing the bandaged wound on her arm. "These were all cut by Yang Huihui. She was beaten by He Yuanwei, so she took it out on me and cut me so many times! And He Yuanwei, I heard him tell this maid with my own ears that he wanted to kill me, so I ran away. All this was because they started it first! You can't blame me, I was only protecting myself!" "You said He Yuanwei beat Madam He?" Pei Zhaozhi lowered his eyes and looked at Yang Huihui, "Madam He, is this true?" Yang Huihui felt weak all over, and she knelt down, half leaning on Wang's body, barely able to steady herself, and she spoke bitterly. "My lord, my husband just drank too much and was in a bad mood, so he was confused and did it." "Then you were jealous of Yang Manman because of this and scratched her with a knife, is that true?" "Yes." Yang Huihui nodded, "A lot of things happened during this period of time. Because her Yang family was killed so tragically, I was so angry that I did this in a moment of confusion. But the scratches I made were not serious, just superficial injuries. I just wanted to vent my anger. No matter what, she is still my sister, and I didn't really want to kill her." "You are lying, you also wanted to cut off my nose, ears, and dig out my eyes!" Yang Manman retorted excitedly. "Those were just words I said to scare you out of anger. If I were really that cruel, how could I have asked someone to give you medicine?" Yang Huihui looked at Yang Manman with grief, "But I never thought you could be so cruel. If I had known this... I might as well have killed you to save you from harming my husband!" When she said the last sentence, Yang Huihui finally showed her hatred with gnashing teeth, but with that weak look, she didn't look scary, but made people feel sympathy. "Nonsense, you just want to kill me, and He Yuanwei also wants to kill me, so I ran away. You asked for it!" Yang Manman trembled all over, not knowing whether she was afraid or angry. Even if He Yuanwei died, it couldn't be her fault. If Yang Huihui hadn't taken her into the mansion, if He Yuanwei hadn't been narrow-minded and wanted to kill her to vent his anger, forcing her to have nowhere to go, she wouldn't have done it. "Bitch, bitch! How dare you say such things!" Wang was furious and quarreled with Yang Manman again. Pei Zhaozhi stopped them and his eyes fell on Yang Manman's arm. "Come on, take her downstairs to check the wound on her arm first." Wang Shi hurriedly said disapprovingly: "Sir, she is a murderer, she..." "Since we want to investigate this case, we must find out the whole story." Pei Zhaozhi interrupted Wang Shi's words, "Madam Yang and Madam He, please be patient." Yang Manman was taken to the room behind the government office to check her wounds. When she was brought back to the court, the woman in charge of checking the wounds of the female relatives reported to her. "Your Excellency, there are four wounds on her arm, but they are indeed just superficial injuries." "Even if they are superficial injuries, it doesn't mean that she doesn't want to kill me! She wants to torture me first and then kill me!" Yang Manman was in a state of confusion. At this moment, she could only hold on to this point tightly. "I scratched you, and I am willing to accept any punishment, but you shouldn't kill my husband anyway! Yang Manman, you've already made me unable to see my father, and now you've killed my husband. How badly do you want to hurt me?" Yang Huihui's tears rolled down, and she looked weak and broken. Wang looked at her daughter distressed, "Huihui, you've already fainted from crying once, so don't keep crying and hurt yourself." After saying that, she kowtowed heavily to Pei Zhaozhi. "Sir, although Huihui scratched the bitch, she was the first to hurt her. Huihui was just angry. If you want to punish someone, then punish me as a mother. But the evidence is solid that Yang Manman killed someone. I beg you to be fair and give us justice!" "Shut up!" Yang Manman wanted to pounce on Wang and wrestle with her. "Do you really want me to die?" "Yes, I wish you would be cut into pieces. I should have strangled you to death for being such a scourge!" Wang's face was also full of hatred. "You..." "Enough, the court is not a place for you to make noise. This official has repeatedly reminded you that if you do it again, each of you will be punished with twenty strokes of the cane!" Pei Zhaozhi's voice was filled with anger. Yang Manman and Wang finally fell silent. Pei Zhaozhi frowned and looked at Yang Manman, "Yang Manman, I want to confirm with you again, do you admit that you did hit He Yuanwei with this firewood last night, and hit him on the forehead, directly?" Yang Manman gritted her teeth, and nodded helplessly when Pei Zhaozhi asked again. "But sir, that was because he wanted to kill me!" "Then do you have any evidence about what you said, that he wanted to kill you?" "Yes, this maid, she was there at the time!" Yang Manman pointed at Yan'er. The latter knelt on the ground, buried her head tightly, and admitted it. "Yes, sir, you said you would do it, but, but as soon as you opened the door, she beat him to death!" "Sir, even if my husband had the intention to kill, he hasn't done it after all. In any case, Yang Manman has committed the crime of murder. Please return my husband and give justice to our He family!" Yang Huihui leaned over and kowtowed, pleading in a tone. Pei Zhaozhi looked at the few people, pondered, and spoke after a moment. "According to the current investigation, there is sufficient evidence in the case of He Yuanwei's murder. Pass on my order to temporarily put Yang Manman in death row." "Temporarily?" Yang Huihui raised her head, "What do you mean by this, sir?" "Don't worry, Madam He, I have no intention of being partial. It's just that there are still details that need to be checked and sorted out. The final result... I will announce the verdict in court in three days!"
