âWhat is it?â King An looked at her unhappily.
âPlease let her speak. 1 canât let her frame my mother for no reason.â Yang Wanning looked at Mrs. Cui and said, âKing An is here, Father is here, and many others are here too. You must make yourself clear today.
âWhat did my mother do to make you try to smear her name before your death?
âIf you donât clarify, donât even think about dying painlessly.â
âWanning, come down. Sheâs your mother!â Yang Shicheng shouted.
âSheâs not worthy of being my mother! I wonât acknowledge a person who wants to kill me, my brother, and even try to frame my mother before she dies!â Yang Wanning shook her head.
âDonât spout nonsense!â
âYou didnât even ask her anything! How do you know if sheâs talking nonsense, or maybe you know if sheâs telling the truth?â
âYouâ¦â
The people below listened and immediately clamored to support Yang Wanning.
All of a sudden, the voices of the people united. Their voices grew louder and louder until they reached a deafening level.
When King An saw this, he immediately stood up. Taking advantage of the pause between their shouts, he roared, âStop, all of you, stop!â
He approached Mrs. Cui and said, âMrs. Cui, Iâm now asking you as a judge of the Ministry of Justice. Tell me what you mean by what you said earlier.â
Mrs. Cui didnât know what to say. She couldnât say she dreamed that Mrs. Gu wanted to kill her, right? Wouldnât that indirectly admit that she killed Mrs. Gu?
She never expected Yang Wanning to dare to barge onto the execution platform.

Before she could say anything, Yang Shicheng came up and said, âYour highness, sheâs just rambling before her death. Letâs execute her; otherwise, it will be getting late.â
King An looked at Yang Wanning after hearing that. From her words, Mrs. Cui may have more evidence of her crimes.
In addition to Mrs. Guâs relationship with King Anâs mother, he planned to help Yang Wanning out.
âThereâs no hurry. Since she spoke out, 1 want to get to the end of this today.
âI canât let my mother be framed for a groundless crime.â Yang Wanning looked at Yang Shicheng firmly.
âYouâ¦â Yang Shicheng glared at her, trying to indicate that she shouldnât pursue the matter any further.
He wanted Mrs. Cui to refrain from speaking again. It would get him killed if Mrs. Cui couldnât take the pressure and said something she shouldnât.
However, Yang Wanning ignored his looks and looked at Mrs. Cui. âWhy? Cat got your tongue? Why arenât you saying anything?â
She had to clear up any misunderstandings today. Otherwise, it would be up to everyoneâs imagination once Mrs. Cui was executed. Yang Wanning and her brother would be in a bad position at that time.
Yang Wanyu was also extremely anxious, but she dared not go up on stage because she knew what Yang Wanning said was true. She was afraid that she would get implicated.
Yang Chengsen wanted to go up, but he was held down firmly by Yang Chenglin.
Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Ning were happy at this turn of events, but they had no intention of going upstage.
King An said to an official on the right, âRecord it.â
He then gave the two soldiers beside him a look.
âYes.â The official replied and sat down at the table, preparing his stationery.
The two soldiers also came forward and took Yang Shicheng to the side. They covered his mouth and guarded him. His struggles were useless.
âIâ¦â Mrs. Cui saw Yang Shicheng could no longer help and had no choice but to tell everyone about the night before the robbery in their residence and her dream of Mrs. Gu. However, she hid the fact that Mrs. Gu was coming to her for revenge.
Yang Wanning asked quickly, âSo, you must have been frightened by my mother seeking her revenge..â
