TSBFL Chapter 121
Chapter 121.1: 趙夫人
[Madam Zhao]
The clamor was so loud that all the people present cast their eyes in the direction from which the sound came.
A group of people appeared in front of them in great numbers, the leader of which was a woman of about forty years who still had her charm, only to see her face solemn, followed by more than a dozen men dressed in domestic servant’s clothing, and behind them were people who looked inside with curiosity.
The woman stood at the entrance, looked at the county magistrate sitting in the hall with a calm face, first bowed to the county magistrate, and then said neither servile nor overbearing: “Your Honour, I am the wife of the man in the hall, and since my husband has been in trouble, I sincerely request you to allow me to accompany my husband!”
The county magistrate frowned slightly, obviously rejecting her suggestion, “Ridiculous! This public hall is not a place where you can come and go as you please.”
Seeing this, Mrs Zhao subconsciously took a step forward, stopping after being scared back by the official’s sword, and without any fear, she raised her head in the direction of the county magistrate, and said with all her might:
“My husband and I are one. Today he is being interrogated, how can a wife like me look on with indifference? I hope you will let me go in to accompany my husband on account of my longing for him.”
The county magistrate looked at the stubborn Mrs Zhao, his originally wrinkled brows frowned deeper and deeper, since he became the county magistrate, he had never seen such a bold rich lady, even dared to bring people directly to the court.
Below, the standing Chen Xing, from the moment Mrs Zhao appeared, he put his attention on her. In the end, he was sure that he had not seen this lady before, more certain that he really did not know who she was.
Since it was like that, although Chen Xing still had a little curiosity about her, but slowly withdrew his eyes, put his attention to Gu Lang beside him.
Chen Xing deduced from the dialogue between Gu Lang and that man, Gu Lang and that man probably have known each other for a long time. He also look a little familiar with his appearance. However, since Gu Lang and that man know each other, and that man is now accused of being the mastermind of the murder case, their relationship must not really not good, at least now.
Facing a person who used to be familiar with him, but is now an enemy, Chen Xing is worried about what Gu Lang has in mind. The look on his face was rather worry, fearing that he will have bad thoughts because of being unhappy which will make his health worse again.
Maybe he noticed Chen Xing’s thoughts, Gu Lang turned his head to look in his direction, after seeing the worry in his eyes, he quickly reacted to what he was worried about, and revealed a reassuring smile towards him, then softly soothingly said, “Don’t worry, I don’t have any relation with him anymore.”
Chen Xing nodded, as a response to him. Immediately, he felt a very strong gaze fall on him, and he turned his head to look, only to see Mrs Zhao staring at them, not knowing what she was thinking in those sharp eyes. He only felt a sense of malice wrapped around him, making him feel a little uncomfortable.
Lady Zhao only stared at him for a while, then moved her eyes away and stared at the county magistrate sitting above.
The County Magistrate looked at the persistent Mrs Zhao, and somewhat confusedly as he discussed with Shi Ye (Private Adviser) next to him, then sat up straight again before he looked down at Mrs Zhao and said, “In that case, this official allow you to come in to attend and listen to the trial on account of the deep love between you and your husband.”
Seeing that the county magistrate had relaxed, Mrs Zhao revealed a delighted smile and raised her feet to walk over. However, the servants behind her who wanted to follow her were stopped by the officials.
“Madam?”
Hearing the servants’ words, Madam Zhao turned her head to look at them, and then looked up to see that the county magistrate was looking at herself in a calm manner, seemingly waiting to see how she would react.
Madam Zhao glanced back and faintly commanded, “You guys, wait outside, you guys will be able to see me and the Master anyways.”
“Yes.” That subordinate heard this and immediately withdrew his outstretched foot.
