Chapter 470: Love Becomes Hatred
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
She had originally thought they were a married couple, and even if there was no love left between them, there should still be some familial affection.
It was ridiculous that as soon as it involved his interests, she became nothing.
If it weren’t for the usefulness of her daughter, he would probably have lulled her long ago!
What made w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ even more hateful was that Gu Zhicheng divorced her!
She was already in a useless state, but he showed no mercy, he divorced her without a trace of pity, and even threw her to an estate on the outskirts, subjecting her to cold looks and abuse!
Although she was recently sent to the estate after the divorce, the insults w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ endured in those few short hours were enough to infuriate her.
Others who didn’t know the truth were surprised by w.a.n.g s.h.i.+’s words, and they looked at Gu Zhicheng with strange eyes.
Gu Zhicheng was furious, this woman was deliberately speaking half-truths!
“Did I force you to eat it? It was clearly Gu Qingluan! You actually helped her give false testimony?”
Gu Zhicheng couldn’t understand how Gu Qingluan had managed to manipulate w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ into testifying for her. It was beyond belief!
He struggled to comprehend it, but the puzzle eluded him. Nevertheless, Gu Qingluan grasped what was most significant to a woman: her children and her spouse.
Gu Zhicheng’s previous actions had truly hurt w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ deeply.
Harboring hatred from love was all too easy and common.
w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ smirked. “False testimony? They have no evidence, but I do.”
Su Lie stepped forward and handed over the evidence to the constables.
The constables received the physical evidence and handed it to the magistrate of Shuntian Preference.
Gu Zhicheng’s expression remained unchanged. He thought for a moment but couldn’t recall any leverage he might have had to harm Lady Jun that would end up in w.a.n.g s.h.i.+’s hands.
The magistrate of Shuntian Preference glanced at the physical evidence and then his expression turned solemn. He picked up the gavel and slammed it on the table, saying, “Patriarch Gu, with both testimonies and physical evidence present, what more do you have to say?”
Gu Zhicheng didn’t believe it. “What physical evidence?”
The magistrate of Shuntian Preference raised what he held in his hand. “Are these letters not written by you?”
Under his command, one of the constables handed a piece of paper to Gu Zhicheng.
Gu Zhicheng recognized his own handwriting on the letter at a single glance.
After quickly reading through the letter, Gu Zhicheng angrily exclaimed, “It’s fake!”
He exerted force in his hand, reducing the letter to shreds.
However, the magistrate of Shuntian Preference still had a stack of letters, and destroying one of them couldn’t change the facts.
Those letters were written by Gu Zhicheng to w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ in the past.
From the time when Gu Zhicheng wanted to marry Jun Qingling to the months after their marriage, he had exchanged letters with w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ multiple times. In these letters, he repeatedly mentioned that he married Jun Qingling only for the Jun family’s a.s.sets and that when the time was right, he would find a way to marry w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ into the family, and Jun Qingling would have to give up her position as the main wife to w.a.n.g s.h.i.+.
He never expected that after so many years, w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ would still keep these letters. Whom was she guarding against?
Just thinking about it made Gu Zhicheng tremble with anger.
“In matters like these, it’s not enough to simply claim something is fake without providing proof. You must present evidence to support your case,” Gu Qingluan said calmly.
Gu Zhicheng cast a cold gaze at her and replied, “Even if they are real, what does it prove? These letters can’t prove that I killed Lady Jun!”
“Hmph! These letters already indicate your motive. w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ was successfully brought into the family later, and as for my mother… she died young. If it wasn’t for you and w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ scheming behind the scenes, then who?”
At this juncture, her tone became notably firm, and her presence seemed to radiate authority, leaving everyone in the room taken aback.
Gu Zhicheng was momentarily unable to defend himself.
The Crown Prince spoke at the right moment, “In my opinion, the case is already quite clear. Magistrate, let’s conclude this.”
Gu Zhicheng became anxious. “Your Highness, the case is not clear yet. How can we conclude it now? I haven’t confessed!”
The Crown Prince, who had been specially invited by Gu Qingluan to preside over the case, had his own difficulties, but between Gu Qingluan and Gu Zhicheng, he wisely chose Gu Qingluan. Therefore, at this point, he could only offend the head of the Gu family.
He had a righteous expression and said, “Since we have both testimonies and physical evidence at hand, there’s no doubt about the situation. Patriarch Gu, don’t a.s.sume that your high social status and influence can exempt you from the consequences of the law. Remember that a n.o.bleman who commits a crime faces the same legal consequences as an ordinary person.”
Gu Zhicheng glanced at the Crown Prince and then at Gu Qingluan, who remained composed on the side. He understood that the Crown Prince was aligning himself with Gu Qingluan, and he felt a deep resentment in his heart.
The magistrate of Shuntian Preference cleared his throat, preparing to conclude the case as per the Crown Prince’s words.
Gu Zhicheng shot a threatening look that made the magistrate step back, and then he took slow steps toward w.a.n.g s.h.i.+.
w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ was frightened by his cold and ruthless gaze, and she couldn’t help but lean back, pressing her body against the back of the wheelchair..
