Chapter 1349: Things Have Been Made Big
Everyone’s opinions were unanimous, and the rest was easy.
After Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan left the Nie residence, they went straight to look for Song Dejiang.
As for Nie Cong, he came to the Cui Residence aggressively, wanting to settle scores with Cui Lan.
Imperial Physician Cui and his daughter, who originally thought that everything was over, were stunned when they saw him bringing people to attack them.
Nie Cong pointed at Cui Lan and scolded, “My wife had no grievances with you. She only said that she was getting married and kindly invited you to her house as a guest. How did she offend you? How did these two sentences offend you that you were so ruthless to her and wanted to kill her?”
Cui Lan’s face turned pale. When Nie Cong came to look for her, all the neighbors nearby had come to watch the commotion. When they heard this, they immediately started whispering.
Cui Lan’s reputation was not good to begin with. She did not have a smile on her face all day long, and she basically did not respond to her neighbors’ greetings. As time passed, everyone felt that this person was not easy to get along with.
Especially after Cui Lan started studying medicine and ran around with her father to treat men, she did not know how to avoid it at all, so everyone looked at her even more strangely.
Two days ago, what happened in the Yan Residence had actually spread here. Although Cui Lan had explained, no one believed her. No one knew where the rumors came from, but they said that she ran to someone’s house and smashed the Yan family’s daughter’s head with a stone.
This was terrible. Was there something wrong with this girl’s brain?
Hence, the Cui father and daughter did not go out for the past two days and stayed at home obediently.
Unexpectedly, Nie Cong came knocking on their door and shouted loudly even though they were keeping a low profile. It was ridiculous.
Imperial Physician Cui was so angry that his entire body was trembling. He stood in front of Cui Lan and said, “Nonsense, you’re simply spouting nonsense. My daughter didn’t harm Madam Yan at all. She slipped and accidentally pushed your wife, causing her to hit the stone table. How did she become ruthless?”
Cui Lan, who was standing behind him, also defended herself loudly. “Yes, I accidentally slipped. I didn’t push her at all. I didn’t. Don’t slander me here. Get out, get out.”
“Accidentally pushed her? Why is it completely different from what my father-in-law said? Besides, how can it be so coincidental that you slipped after my wife said that? Who would believe that? Let me tell you, my wife is unconscious now. As her husband, I will definitely not let this matter rest.”
“You…” Imperial Physician Cui was furious. “I don’t know what Master Yan said, but this was an accident.”
“You make it sound so nice. Can an accident offset a life?” Nie Cong sneered as he took a step forward.
Imperial Physician Cui gritted his teeth. “What do you mean by a life? Isn’t your wife alive and well now?”
“Alive and well? She’s unconscious and half-dead.”
Nie Cong was aggressive, but Imperial Physician Cui did not back down.
One wanted to seek justice for his wife, while the other wanted to prove his daughter’s innocence.
For a moment, no one could convince the other. Seeing that the two sides were about to fight, they finally attracted the officials of the Imperial Capital.
Imperial Physician Cui was an imperial physician, and Nie Cong was a seventh-grade official. Both of them had official positions. Now that a life seemed to be involved, the capital magistrate naturally could not ignore it.
Things had… gotten out of hand.
