“What is it?” King An looked at her unhappily.
“Please let her speak. 1 can’t let her frame my mother for no reason.” Yang Wanning looked at Mrs. Cui and said, “King An is here, Father is here, and many others are here too. You must make yourself clear today.
“What did my mother do to make you try to smear her name before your death?
“If you don’t clarify, don’t even think about dying painlessly.”
“Wanning, come down. She’s your mother!” Yang Shicheng shouted.
“She’s not worthy of being my mother! I won’t acknowledge a person who wants to kill me, my brother, and even try to frame my mother before she dies!” Yang Wanning shook her head.
“Don’t spout nonsense!”
“You didn’t even ask her anything! How do you know if she’s talking nonsense, or maybe you know if she’s telling the truth?”
“You…”
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, “Stop, all of you, stop!”
He approached Mrs. Cui and said, “Mrs. Cui, I’m now asking you as a judge of the Ministry of Justice. Tell me what you mean by what you said earlier.”
Mrs. Cui didn’t know what to say. She couldn’t say she dreamed that Mrs. Gu wanted to kill her, right? Wouldn’t 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, “Your highness, she’s just rambling before her death. Let’s execute her; otherwise, it will be getting late.”
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. Gu’s relationship with King An’s mother, he planned to help Yang Wanning out.
“There’s no hurry. Since she spoke out, 1 want to get to the end of this today.
“I can’t let my mother be framed for a groundless crime.” Yang Wanning looked at Yang Shicheng firmly.
“You…” Yang Shicheng glared at her, trying to indicate that she shouldn’t pursue the matter any further.
He wanted Mrs. Cui to refrain from speaking again. It would get him killed if Mrs. Cui couldn’t take the pressure and said something she shouldn’t.
However, Yang Wanning ignored his looks and looked at Mrs. Cui. “Why? Cat got your tongue? Why aren’t you saying anything?”
She had to clear up any misunderstandings today. Otherwise, it would be up to everyone’s 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, “Record it.”
He then gave the two soldiers beside him a look.
“Yes.” 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.
“I…” 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, “So, you must have been frightened by my mother seeking her revenge..”
