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

Chapter 344 Then the couple will be severely punished together

Dong Kaijian was stunned, looking at Zheng Yan'er in disbelief, his voice trembling, "What did you say?"

Zheng Yan'er tried her best to make her expression look sincere. "My husband, it's true. When I hired someone two days ago, I felt dizzy again. When I passed by the clinic, I went in for a check-up. The doctor said that although the pulse was very weak and difficult to detect, I should be more than a month pregnant."

Dong Kaijian's face suddenly darkened, "This is impossible, you..."

Zheng Yan'er didn't notice anything wrong with Dong Kaijian's expression and interrupted him directly.

"My dear, I was also surprised. After all, I was beaten and slapped before. I thought that even if I was pregnant, it would be difficult to keep it. But the doctor said that maybe it was because I had just gotten pregnant at that time and was not affected too much. In addition, the pulse was difficult to detect because the month was young, so the doctor who treated me before did not notice it."

Zheng Yan'er took a deep breath, squeezed out tears, and looked at Dong Kaijian sadly.

"Husband, if it was just me, I would never push this matter onto you, but now I have our child in my belly, I can't go to jail with the child. Please, just admit this matter!"

At this moment, Dong Kaijian's expression was extremely complicated.

It was so complicated that Zheng Yan'er couldn't even tell from his expression what emotion he was feeling at the moment.

I just vaguely felt that Dong Kaijian didn't seem to be happy at all.

But then I thought again and felt that it made sense. Under the current circumstances, even if I knew I was pregnant, it would be difficult to be happy.

Feeling uneasy, Zheng Yan'er could only continue to look at Dong Kaijian with pity, hoping that Dong Kaijian would take the matter over for the sake of the child.

Dong Kaijian opened his mouth several times but couldn't utter a word. Seeing that the bailiff had begun to urge him, he finally said something.

"Yan'er, do you really not want to take responsibility for the things you did wrong?"

"Husband, I really don't want to go to jail. You know, I've been in jail before and I can't survive in there. I beg you, just admit it for me. Don't worry, I will visit you every day, and when you get out, we will live a good life together as a family. I promise that I will treat you well for the rest of my life and will never cause you any trouble again." Zheng Yan'er pleaded.

The bailiffs urged again.

Seeing that Dong Kaijian was about to leave without expressing his opinion, Zheng Yan'er hurriedly grabbed him tightly.

"Husband..."

Damn it, even if I lied about being pregnant, I couldn’t get Dong Kaijian to admit it!

Dong Kaijian just took a deep look at Zheng Yan'er, finally pushed her hand away, turned around and walked towards the court.

Zheng Yan'er was very flustered.

Dong Kaijian is her last hope. If he is unwilling to take the blame for her, then she has no other choice.

Looking at Dong Kaijian's back, she followed him stiffly at the urging of the yamen runners, with resentment and hatred in her eyes.

Being brought to the court again, facing Hu Sen's questioning, Zheng Yan'er felt cold in her heart and no longer had any hope.

However, the next moment, she heard Dong Kaijian speak.

"Sir, I plead guilty."

Zheng Yan'er quickly turned her head and looked at Dong Kaijian.

The latter did not look at Zheng Yan'er, but just knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and continued speaking without looking away.

"Sir, I was indeed the one who instigated this incident. I was resentful and angry about the wine recipe and the 50,000 taels of silver, so I wanted to take revenge before I left. I originally wanted to leave the imperial city early this morning, but I didn't expect to be caught in the act. I know I am guilty and am willing to take all the responsibility."

Zheng Yan'er breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, fortunately Dong Kaijian was willing to admit everything. It seemed that her lie about being pregnant was the right one!

Jiang Suining was standing aside. When he heard Dong Kaijian plead guilty, he was surprised for a moment, but then he keenly realized that although Dong Kaijian pleaded guilty, there seemed to be something wrong with him.

Xier frowned in surprise. If she hadn't been concerned about the court, she would have asked directly, how could Dong Kaijian be so stupid.

Hu Sen slammed the gavel, "Dong Kaijian, do you know that arson in the imperial city is a serious crime? What's more, you burned the shop of the Marquis of Changning Mansion. Are you really sure that you did it?"

The one who was caught red-handed was Zheng Yan'er, and if there was any anger or resentment in her heart, it was probably Zheng Yan'er who was more angry. Unexpectedly, Dong Kaijian would go to such an extent for his wife.

"Your Excellency, it was indeed my fault. As for my wife, it was only because I was busy packing my luggage and selling Heyun Tower that I had no time to spare, so I threatened and instigated her to hire someone to kill me. I feel guilty. At that moment, I did think of putting the blame on my wife, so I kept silent."

"Then why do you admit everything now?" Hu Sen asked.

Dong Kaijian still lowered his head and did not look at Zheng Yan'er. "No matter what, we are husband and wife. If I put the blame on her just to escape the blame, I would not be able to rest easy. That's why I gave up this idea in time."

When Zheng Yan'er heard Dong Kaijian's words, a guilty look flashed across her face, but it only lasted for a blink of an eye before she returned to normal.

If a person does not serve himself, he will be destroyed by heaven and earth.

What's more, I have already told the lie and there is no room for regret.

Qin looked at him coldly, and did not show any displeasure at the fact that Dong Kaijian confessed his guilt. Instead, her ridicule became even stronger.

"Dong Kaijian, since Zheng Yan'er can put everything on you, it means that you are nothing in her heart. Why should you take the blame for her?"

"Madam Qin, it was indeed my instigation this time. Burning down the shop in the Marquis Changning's Mansion is my sole responsibility." Dong Kaijian had obviously made up his mind.

Zheng Yan'er also hurriedly said, "Madam Qin, I know you are unhappy about your shop being burned down, but the truth is indeed like this, and I am truly innocent."

"You know the truth, but..." Qin changed the subject, her sneer even stronger, "Do you think you can get away with it just by convincing your husband to plead guilty? Knowing the truth but not reporting it is also a crime of helping the tyrant. How can I forgive you for daring to burn down the shop of the Marquis of Changning's mansion!"

Qin stood up, looked at Hu Sen, and spoke in a firm tone.

"Sir Hu, since this matter was conspired by the Dong couple, I request that they be punished together for the same crime!"

Humph, the Dong family wants to get away with it right under her nose. That’s just wishful thinking!
