C147 (1/2)

”This... It's because the old servant was so busy with the crime that he forgot too many details. ”

”Alright, I'll give you some time to think it over, how exactly did you kill the Juan Niang?” Su Li pressed again.

A layer of cold sweat seeped out of Nanny Bai's forehead. She clenched her fists and couldn't utter a word for a long time.

”Mother …” Nanny Bai's son Zhao Ran appeared outside the court.

This extremely ordinary term of address caused Nanny Bai's entire body to stiffen, as tears streamed down his face.

Su Li gestured for the officials to let them in.

Zhao Ran's wife, Lady Li, supported him as they walked to Nanny Bai's side and knelt down with a thump.

”Lord Magistrate, my mother normally wouldn't even dare to kill a chicken. She wouldn't kill anyone.” Zhao Ran explained to his mother, then immediately covered his chest with one hand, and started to pant.

Madame Li immediately helped him vent his anger. Nanny Bai, with his hands shackled, was unable to help him, and could only look at his son in distress.

”Mother did it. Mother was confused. What are you doing here? You're not in a good condition to begin with. Quickly go home and lie down. ”

”How can a son lie in peace and not do anything when his mother is imprisoned?” Zhao Ran gasped for breath as he reached out to grab his mother's arm, ”You better tell everyone that if your son doesn't believe, your mother will be the one to commit the murder.”

”Ran Er …” You can go back! ” The Nanny Bai made up his mind and pushed Zhao Ran, wanting to chase him away.

Madame Li, who was supporting Zhao Ran, was careless and was unable to grab hold of him. Zhao Ran fell to the ground and was unable to catch his breath, his face immediately becoming the color of a pig's liver.

”Ran Er …”

”Husband …”

The two of them immediately surrounded him. Madame Li didn't stop praising him, but it was useless.

The surrounding crowd gasped, ”This is asthma, there's no cure. If I can't get here in one go, I'm going to die...”

”Get out of the way.” Su Li walked forward a few steps and took out the needle bag.

Song Lai went to grab Zhao Ran's clothes, and Stars Pet Chain Supermarket brought over the candlestick.

Su Li's movements were extremely fast. After a few needles had pierced into his body, Zhao Ran's cackling sounds began to calm down. After the last needle had been pulled out, it was already better than before the attack.

Everyone looked at Su Li in shock, and no one uttered a sound for a long time.

On the other hand, Nanny Bai followed the sound of the shackles on his hands and kneeled in front of Su Li, ”Can Fourth Miss cure these asthma symptoms?”

Su Li nodded his head indifferently.

”Please be merciful, Fourth Miss. Please help my son cure his asthma. This old servant will definitely repay you for your kindness.”

Madame Li also knelt down, ”Fourth Miss, please be merciful and save my husband.”

Su Li kept his needle bag and did not reply for a long time.

Nanny Bai bit his lower lip, as if he had made some sort of decision. ”This old servant says everything, Fourth Miss, I beg you to save my son.”

Su Li met Nanny Bai's gaze, and said word by word.

I will naturally save your son if he's sick, but the person I want to save the most is you. If you have to lie to your conscience and lie about your son for his sake, and end up with a body that's separated from its head, how do you expect him to behave? In the end, the guilt and unease she felt and the following you, what's the point in doing this? ”
