Chapter 959: The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (eighty-one)

Zhou's hands couldn't help but tremble. Midwife Yu? Could it be that the midwife from back then was still alive? Hadn't she been silenced long ago?

"Come here, bring the midwife, Yu."

"Please, sir, help me and my family! Thirteen years ago, I went to a temple to deliver a baby. I was rewarded generously and was very happy, thinking that my family would be better off. But who would have thought that just a few days later, this black-hearted widow would be so vicious that she would send someone to kill me.

I was stabbed from behind and fell down the hillside. Fortunately, a kind-hearted passerby rescued me and I was able to save my life. But my family was not so lucky. I have been hiding for years and have not had a good life. I was afraid that my family would be implicated, so I didn't even dare to report to the police. I finally returned to the capital, and after asking around, I found out that my son and husband had died more than ten years ago. They died on the day I was on my way to deliver a baby and fell down the hillside. A fire burned everything, and no one has sought justice for them. Wuwuwu, Dacheng, Xiaoshuan, I am so sorry for you..."

An old woman came up crying, knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, as if she wanted to tell out all the grievances.

Yu the midwife dared to show up at this time, naturally she had the confidence to overturn the case. She felt that Lord Jingzhao Yin seemed to be a good official who was not afraid of the power of the princess's mansion.

Because Midwife Yu had been spying around the house where Zhou lived recently, she was caught red-handed by the people sent by Qingli to inquire about Zhou's news.

Yu the midwife said nothing at first, but when she learned that Qingli was the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she began to waver. When she heard that there were some conflicts between the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Grand Princess's Mansion, she slowly softened her stance, but she did not reveal her own identity or any grudge she had with Zhou.

Qingli would check for news about Zhou. After all, after Zhou came to Beijing, the place she went to most often was her home that was burned down. Now that area has been rebuilt, she kept the memories of more than ten years ago and often went back to take a walk nearby.

Now Qingli has handed Yu the midwife over to the Jingzhao Yin, and it will naturally be up to the Jingzhao Yin to decide how to judge the case.

The people were both afraid of and dependent on the officials, so Yu placed her hopes of revenge on the Jingzhao Yin and quickly told him everything, including how she knew Zhou's identity.

Coincidentally, when Zhou was giving birth, the midwife left the temple through the back door and happened to meet a servant from the princess's mansion who was delivering something to Zhou. She learned Zhou's identity from the servant.

Files from the fire case that occurred over a decade ago were also uncovered, along with testimonies from the family who rescued Yu and Yu's former neighbors. After extensive investigation, it was confirmed that Yu's story was true. "Ms. Zhou, you intentionally murdered Yu and her family. Do you admit your guilt?"

Zhou just shook her head and said, "Maybe it was someone else that Yu offended. How can you prove that it was this woman who harmed her?"

Lord Du slammed the table and asked someone to bring up another booklet.

"You hired assassins twice, both times using the same underworld organization. Do you think they dared to offend the imperial court? This record clearly states the details of your transaction. If the killer who executed the Yu family hadn't died two years ago, I would have tracked him down."

Zhou looked at the booklet in front of her and finally became panicked.

Isn't the Jianghu the most righteous place? Why are they so afraid of the imperial court that they even want to reveal the seller's information...

She closed her eyes in despair.

"I, I know I'm wrong."

Yu's eyes were almost blinded by tears. "Wow, you vicious woman! How have I wronged you? If it weren't for me and your maid, how could you, a widow secretly giving birth in a temple, have successfully given birth to a child? I've already inquired about it. Your maid also died that year. Did you kill her? It must be you! You are so cruel! Wow, my son! I'm so sorry for you! Old man, I'm so sorry for you!"

The eldest princess showed a look of pity. The old woman looked pale and thin, with gray hair. It was obvious that she had not had a good life in recent years. Now she knew that her husband and son had passed away long ago. How could she not be heartbroken?

She also has children and can understand this emotion best. She immediately became dissatisfied with her sister-in-law and did not even let a midwife go. Could it be that the child born by Zhou was shameful to be shown to others?

The eldest princess was quite depressed. After something happened to Zhou's husband's family, she stayed in the princess's mansion, but she didn't know that Zhou was pregnant.

Does the prince consort know that his sister is pregnant?

Or had the prince consort and his sister deceived her together? The eldest princess examined the man beside her. Could it be that she had made a mistake after all, and that the husband she had chosen was full of defensiveness and deception towards her?
