Does your husband only love his wife?I turned around and left the house to marry a villain

Wen Rongchang thought he had heard wrongly, and looked at the woman in front of him again and again, wanting to confirm again and again that the person in front of him was Lin Xing'er, who had been obsessed with him for a long time.

"Lin Xing'er." He called out in disbelief: "No, you are not Xing'er. My Xing'er will not slander me."

Lin Xing'er slowly turned her head, looking at Wen Rongchang with red eyes, and said, "Look carefully, I am Lin Xing'er, Wen Rongchang, now that you have come to this point, stop quibbling, be an upright man, have the courage to take responsibility for everything you have done, and don't make the same mistake again."

After saying that, Lin Xing'er turned around, took out the blood letter she had written from her lapel, and handed it to Gu Changning: "Your Majesty, I have a letter of indictment in my hand, which lists the ways my husband smuggled salt, as well as my father's connections. I have failed my father's teachings and ruined his reputation. Please be careful and investigate this case. I will never protect a criminal."

When Wen Rongchang heard Lin Xing'er's last words, he sat down on the ground weakly.

Gu Changning glanced coldly at Wen Rongchang, and then called Jiang Huai: "Show it up."

Jiang Huai took the indictment from Lin Xing'er and presented it to Gu Changning.

Gu Changning lowered his eyes and stared at the blood letter, scanning it in one glance. After a while, he looked at Wen Rongchang and said, "Your wife Wen Lin has a wet nurse named Xi Chen, who is someone Wen Lin has always relied on and trusted. After Lin Tong and his wife passed away, Xi Chen managed and sold all the Lin family's property, and she also managed the shop. Not only that, she also got in touch with Lin Tong's personal guards through Wen Lin's business."

"You used the connections in Xi Chen's hands to sell illegal salt with Lin Tong's friends before his death in order to make huge profits. Xi Ma was the one who made the connection. After this plan was completed, you asked Wen Lin to hand over the shop to Xi Chen on the grounds that she had to take care of the children. In this way, it was more convenient for you to spend the banknotes in Wen Lin's shop. You could also use Wen Lin's shop to integrate the huge profits you made into Wen Lin's shop and regard it as Wen Lin's profit. Is this true?"

Wen Rongchang knew he was finished.

Lin Xing'er came forward to sue him personally, and all his previous efforts were ruined. He gave up his last struggle and nodded in a very good manner, "Yes, Your Majesty, but I was deceived into taking this path. I did not participate in the smuggling of merchant ships this time."

"I know." Gu Changning said.

Wen Rongchang was stunned.

Gu Changning added, "I had someone arrange for that foreign businessman to contact the Xi family. I didn't expect that the Xi family was so bold that they secretly did that deal without telling you."

Wen Rongchang was very excited when he heard this.

Gu Changning was so excited that he didn't put the blame on him, but...

The fact is that he was happy too early.

"But the private salt you made profits from previously has already exceeded the amount of these three merchant ships. Don't tell me that you were misled by someone. Wen Lin is Lin Tong's biological daughter. If she wanted to do this kind of business, most of Lin Tong's friends would help her. Why didn't your wife help you? Why wasn't she misled? In the final analysis, Wen Rongchang..."

Gu Changning called him. Although he was sitting on the dragon chair, he looked down at him and said, "I have thought of a saying that suits you very well. If you do good, even if you are a humble scholar, people will admire your virtue. If you do evil, even if you are a high-ranking official, people will criticize your faults. Therefore, virtue is the foundation of being a human being, and money is the last. However, you use money to seek a high position. I can see clearly your little tricks in private."

The solemn and powerful voice penetrated the platform for appealing against injustice and reached the ears of the people below the stage.

The people shouted and condemned Wen Rongchang's actions.

Wen Rongchang looked back at the people behind him, his face already pale.

At this time, Xie Li stepped onto the platform to appeal for justice and presented all the evidence of Wen Rongchang's smuggling of salt: "Your Majesty, this is the evidence of the person behind the smuggling of salt that I collected outside."

"Since we have all the evidence and witnesses, let's make it final. Three days later, at noon, he will be executed!" Gu Changning picked up the sign and waved it towards the audience.

When the cards fell, Wen Rongchang was already scared out of his wits and broke out in a cold sweat.

Xie Ci personally stepped forward and dragged Wen Rongchang away.

Wen Rongchang raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Lin Xing'er, and suddenly burst into laughter: "Madam, you are so cruel. When our daughter Rongrong grows up, if she knows that her mother sent her father to the guillotine with her own hands, how will she look at you as a mother, and how will she look at you."

Lin Xing'er's heart trembled violently, and the whip wound on her back felt a strong stinging pain. She clenched the handkerchief tightly with both hands, licked the blood from the corner of her lips, and smiled: "Don't worry, my husband, that day will never come."

"Do you think she won't know if you don't tell her? The world knows that I, Wen Rongchang, was sent to the guillotine by my wife. This case will go down in history. Her reputation will definitely be damaged in the future because she has a cruel mother like you and a father like me who is full of crimes. You have harmed our daughter."

When Wen Rongchang was dragged off the platform to appeal, he turned around and shouted loudly at Lin Xing'er.

Lin Xing'er knelt on the ground, motionless with her head lowered, whispering softly: "Why are you still unwilling to repent even at this point, and want to bring trouble to Rongrong's reputation? Why does the man I like have this face?"

You should be like the bright moon and the fresh breeze, gentle and elegant.

You can also hold a sword, gallop on the battlefield, and defend your country.

The man I like is a two-faced person.

"Your Majesty, how will you deal with this sinful woman?" Lin Xing'er asked.

Gu Changning said, "Since you were not involved in this, did not know anything about it, and had the courage to sue your husband, and did not collude to cover up the crime, I will confiscate half of your property and allow you to return home to recuperate."

"The crime has also affected her family. The emperor should send the guilty woman to the guillotine as well. It has been like this since ancient times. Although the guilty woman did not participate, she may have protected the crime a little. If it were not for the guilty woman's wealth, how could her husband make a profit?" Lin Xing'er said calmly, her heart dead.

Gu Changning replied, "The law is ruthless, but the law is made by people. When it comes to me, I can show mercy and allow this case not to harm innocent relatives. This will encourage more people to report the guilty people around them, not to shield or hide criminals. I will not pursue them. Wen Rongchang's case is over here, and the court is adjourned."

He stood up, glanced at the weak Lin Xing'er, sighed, and turned back to the cabinet.

Lin Xing'er fainted, and people from Wudinghou Mansion came to take her back personally.

Three days passed quickly. On the night before Wen Rongchang's execution, only Mrs. Shao came to see him and brought him wine and food.

Madam Shao stood in front of the cell, looking at Wen Rongchang, whose beard was untidy after just two days. She squatted down and delivered the food in the food cage to the cell, saying, "Rongchang, eat something. It's better than starving to death."

Wen Rongchang looked at the food and wine in front of him and laughed at himself: "I didn't expect that my aunt and uncle would come to see me off at the end of my life."

"Xing'er was taken back to the Wuding Marquis' Mansion. She was whipped twenty times and has a high fever. She can't come to see you off. Do you want to see her?" asked Mrs. Shao.

Wen Rongchang said: "She sent me in, but she didn't come to see me. I used to think that she was obsessed with me, dependent on me, and listened to me in everything, so I could do whatever I wanted. I didn't expect that she would hurt me the most in the end and send me to death row with her own hands. It doesn't matter if she and I never see each other again in this life, there is nothing more to say."

He picked up a glass of wine and drank it all...
