Chapter 343 Zheng Yan'er Lied About Being Pregnant
When Biyun returned home last night to report that Zheng Yan'er had really been captured, Jiang Suining was not surprised.
When she heard that Qin's wine shop was burned down, she made sure that there was no involvement and casualties elsewhere, and then had the news of Zheng Yan'er's arson spread to the Changning Marquis' Mansion.
Just now when I left Jiang's house and went to the yamen, I learned that Dong Kaijian was still unaware of the fire and was looking for Zheng Yan'er everywhere, so I asked someone to inform him.
When I arrived at the yamen, I happened to meet Dong Kaijian outside.
Dong Kaijian looked flustered and anxious. After revealing his identity, he immediately entered the yamen and arrived outside the court.
But as soon as I arrived, I heard what Zheng Yan'er had just said.
"Miss, it seems that Boss Dong is really dumbfounded. He was so good to Zheng Yan'er, but ended up raising an ungrateful woman. Now he should finally give up." Xier stood beside Jiang Suining, her voice very low, with a hint of sympathy.
After all, outside the court, Jiang Suining didn't say much, he just looked at Dong Kaijian and said:
"Since you are here, come in. Zheng Yan'er has said so. You must confront her in court no matter what."
Zheng Yan'er pushed everything onto Dong Kaijian, which was really beyond her expectations. She wondered what Dong Kaijian felt at this moment due to such an ungrateful accusation.
While Jiang Suining was speaking, the people in the court also noticed Dong Kaijian standing outside.
Hu Sen called the person in.
Dong Kaijian's steps were unsteady and his body was shaky. After entering the courtroom, he almost fell to his knees.
Although Zheng Yan'er had spoken with certainty just now, she couldn't help feeling guilty when she actually saw Dong Kaijian.
"Husband..." She called out softly, and looking at Dong Kaijian's expression, she realized that the other party must have heard what she said.
But things had come to this point, Zheng Yan'er didn't care about much else, she gritted her teeth and continued.
"Husband, I didn't mean to betray you, but I was really scared!"
After saying that, he kowtowed to Hu Sen again and again.
"Sir, my husband was just trying to vent my anger, so he was confused for a moment. It's also my fault that I didn't persuade him. I beg you to be magnanimous and forgive him!"
Words like these really sound like a wife who is sincerely pleading for her husband.
Hu Sen asked Dong Kaijian, "Dong Kaijian, just now your wife claimed that you arranged for her to pay off the arsonist to burn down the Zhanxing Tower and the wine shop in Changning Marquis's Mansion. Is this true?"
Dong Kaijian said nothing, but just glanced at Zheng Yan'er.
Hu Sen frowned, "Dong Kaijian, I'm asking you!"
However, Dong Kaijian still did not speak, still staring at Zheng Yan'er, his eyes full of bitterness.
Zheng Yan'er felt flustered when she saw his eyes. She knew that Dong Kaijian was good to her, but in the current situation, this was all she could say.
Since Dong Kaijian keeps saying that he loves her and will protect her, then wouldn't he be willing to take the blame for her?
Zheng Yan'er kept telling herself in her heart that even if she was wrong to do so, she had no other choice. She had suffered enough since coming to this imperial city. If Dong Kaijian really cared about her, wouldn't it be okay for him to do it for her this time?
However, even though she found many reasons in her mind, she still didn't dare to look Dong Kaijian in the eye.
Faced with Dong Kaijian's silence, Hu Sen became angry. "It seems that you want me to punish you severely before you speak. Someone, come here..."
"Sir!" Dong Kaijian finally retracted his gaze, "Can I have a word with my wife alone?"
"How dare you! This is in court. Do you think you are the Dong family? If you have anything to say, just say it in court."
"Sir, I beg you. It won't take long, just a few words." Dong Kaijian kowtowed to Hu Sen.
Hu Sen looked unhappy, but he had been solving cases for many years and had seen people like Dong Kaijian who looked honest but were actually stubborn. If he didn't agree to his request, he was afraid that even if he was beaten with a stick, the other party would not really cooperate. Moreover, according to his experience, this matter should have nothing to do with Dong Kaijian. If he really beat him up, it would probably cause trouble.
But...if we really let them talk alone, I'm afraid people would think they are colluding with each other.
After thinking for a while, he looked at Qin beside him.
"Madam Changning, as the victim, whether you can give them this opportunity is up to you to decide."
Feeling the gazes of the crowd, Qin was annoyed, but she did not want to behave too unworthy in the court.
"Forget it, let them talk for a while. The evidence is irrefutable, and I am not afraid of their denial."
Soon, Zheng Yan'er and Dong Kaijian were taken out. The yamen runners stepped back and watched from a distance. Since they were inside the yamen, they were naturally not worried that they would escape.
"I'm sorry." Zheng Yan'er lowered her head. "My husband, I know that what I did was despicable and shameless, but I was really scared just now. I have no choice. I..."
"So you never planned to leave the imperial city with me and live a peaceful life, right?" Dong Kaijian said in a very disappointed tone.
Zheng Yan'er raised her head quickly, "No, I really want to leave. I just want to take revenge on them before I leave."
"Yan'er, how can I trust you in this situation? Do you know how happy I was when you said you were willing to leave the imperial city with me and live a good life? I was looking forward to the future with joy. When I woke up this morning and found that you were gone, I was very nervous. Yan'er, how could you do this to me?"
Hearing Dong Kaijian's tone which could be considered complaining, Zheng Yan'er frowned quickly.
What time is it now? How can Dong Kaijian still be in the mood to say these things?
If she really loves me this much, then I'll take the blame for her!
Zheng Yan'er suppressed her impatience, grabbed Dong Kaijian's arm, and said pitifully: "Husband, what I said is true, and I really want to live a good life with you. I just want to vent my anger before leaving. You have to believe me, I really love you."
Dong Kaijian smiled bitterly, "If you love me, why do you want to put this crime on my head?"
Zheng Yan'er choked, "I, I'm just too..."
Dong Kaijian shook his head and interrupted her, "Yan'er, I know you have never loved me. You were willing to marry me before only because you had no choice. But I thought that after we got married, as long as I treated you well, you would be moved."
The bitter smile on Dong Kaijian's face became even more intense. He pulled out his arm that was being held by Zheng Yan'er and shook his head in disappointment.
"Now it seems that all this was just wishful thinking on my part."
Zheng Yan'er had never seen such an expression on Dong Kaijian's face and was shocked.
Dong Kaijian is completely disappointed and has given up on her?
What love, what protection, in the end, in Dong Kaijian's heart, she is not as important as himself.
Zheng Yan'er's heart suddenly turned cold, and she instantly lost all guilt for putting the blame on Dong Kaijian for everything. She quickly thought about how to deal with the situation.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind, and she reached out and grabbed Dong Kaijian again.
"Husband, I know you are angry with me and hate me, but I really have no choice. I have my own difficulties!"
Dong Kaijian did not believe what Zheng Yan'er said, but even though he was full of bitterness, he couldn't help but ask a question in response to what the person in front of him said.
"What's the reason?"
"I am pregnant!"
