CHAPTER 115: 115: COURT TRIAL OF ZHU XINGFANG (1)_1

This day, she sat on a small stool, watching the Third Brother Liang Shujun pacing around the courtyard, then glanced at Liang Yixuan next to him, and at Liang Haoming splitting wood in silence. She felt quite content.

Well, the handsome men have put on some weight, and their faces even more lustrous. As the ’culprit’ who fattened up the Liang Family Brothers, she was actually pretty proud of herself.

"Liang family gentlemen, may I ask if Miss Dong is in?"

Suddenly a female yamen officer with a long saber on her waist asked loudly. Dong Huiying stretched her neck to look outside, and upon seeing the officer’s face clearly, she immediately smiled.

"I am here, Sister Fang, what brings you here?" She greeted her with a warm face, this officer was none other than Fang Lanshan!

That day, to save Yixuan, Dong Huiying was punished with ninety strokes at the Department of Surveillance. Fang Lanshan seemed to take pity and took over the task herself, which is why Dong Huiying suffered less physical torment. She was grateful to her, but everything was so chaotic that day, and just after she had cleared Yixuan’s name, she fainted and awoke to find herself back in Kaoshan Village.

Fang Lanshan wore a smile on her face. She used to work at the Department of Surveillance, but a few days ago, due to a shortage of staff at the Government Office, she switched jobs and entered the Government Office instead.

"Miss Dong, a few days ago, when you brought Lady Zhu to report a case, unfortunately, Officer Han was out visiting friends and has only just returned yesterday."

"Sister Fang, please come in," Dong Huiying pulled Fang Lanshan into the house.

"Sister Fang, Zhu Xingfang has done too much evil, even tried to push me off a cliff. She attempted murder and harbored murderous intentions towards me. I wonder how Officer Han plans to handle this case?"

Fang Lanshan took a sip of water before speaking with concern, "I hate to say it, but I am not optimistic about this matter."

Dong Huiying’s eyebrows twitched, and Fang Lanshan continued, "Zhu Xingfang has been detained for over half a month, initially causing a lot of trouble before suddenly quieting down. Yesterday, Officer Han summoned her, and afterwards, I noticed his complexion was not good. Be careful at the trial tomorrow."

Dong Huiying pondered for a moment and thought to herself that surely Zhu Xingfang was up to some trickery.

She narrowed her eyes slightly and remembered how Xingfang had looked at her with vicious eyes when she was temporarily detained by the Government Office. That menace would not rest until she was gone, so it seemed she indeed needed to be more cautious.

"Alright, I understand now, thank you for your concern, Sister."

Fang Lanshan looked back at the Liang family brothers.

Liang Zhi Chen was leading his brothers at some distance, but even from afar, they held themselves with dignity. She couldn’t help but feel a tinge of admiration.

This Miss Dong, outwardly appeared like a girl yet to reach maturity, who would have thought she was already betrothed. However, she had been really good to these men of the Liang family. In just half a month, the brothers had gone from a state of utter despondence to one brimming with vitality.

"Miss Dong, you are a good person, and I see you are smart and sharp-witted. I won’t go on and on, but that Zhu Xingfang, you never know what sort of tricks she might be plotting. Be careful not to fall for her schemes during the trial," Fang Lanshan advised.

Dong Huiying was startled, then smiled, "Thank you for the advice, Sister."

Fang Lanshan, claiming to have other matters to attend to, didn’t stay long. She declined Dong Huiying’s invitation to remain, cupped her fist in salute to the Liang family, and took her leave.

Unnoticed, Liang Zhi Chen had come up behind Dong Huiying. "What are you thinking about?"

Dong Huiying looked solemn, a small ’川’ forming between her brows.

"Nothing," she turned to look at Zhi Chen, "Tomorrow Officer Han will hold a trial for Zhu Xingfang’s case. I need to prepare. But no matter what, we are on the side of justice. If she has done wrong, she must pay the price."

Zhi Chen smiled warmly, "I will be with you tomorrow."

Dong Huiying nodded, "That would be good."
