Case Overturned 2

When the madams heard this, they understood why the county magistrate had invited them here. However, when they heard that the case would be tried again, they were puzzled.

Madam Zhang said displeasedly, "My lord, the fact that] Shen Ruyue poisoned me is undeniable. What else is there to interrogate?"

The county magistrate looked at Madam Zhang. "Madam, don't be anxious. You'll know in a while."

He turned to Chu Qingzhi and said, "Miss Chu, I'll leave the rest to you."

Chu Qingzhi bowed to the county magistrate and then to Madam Zhang. "I'm Shen Ruyue's friend. After hearing Shen Ruyue's words last night, I felt that she had been wronged, so I wanted to overturn her case."

Madam Zhang looked at Chu Qingzhi, who was dressed like a farm girl, and was full of disdain for her. She said in an unfriendly tone, "What's there to overturn? She was the one who poisoned her."

Chu Qingzhi said, "She didn't do it."
