When I met my former wife again, she had become the daughter of a powerful Minister of Punishment and was in charge of my case.
Originally, my case had been settled and I was acquitted.
But she insisted on raising the alarm and demanded a retrial, and no one in the entire county government dared to speak out.
"Shen Ming, during the Lantern Festival, you molested the second young lady of the Su family in the street and attempted to do something inappropriate. Can you plead guilty?"
Looking at her face that was still as perfect as jade in the courtroom,
It reminded me that five years ago, she was so aggressive for the sweetheart she had known since childhood, trampling on our vows countless times.
It was also for the sake of that prince that we made peace.
"The common people do not admit this crime. The second lady and I have made a private life-long contract, and we have an appointment as a matchmaker. Please be clear to me!"
"What?"
Jiang Yue stood up angrily, almost wanting to be slapped in two by her.
"You promised to grow old together with me! Who allowed you to have a private life with someone else!"
"You have to admit this crime even if you don't admit it. Come on! Get it for me!"
