A Backhand Slap

"No matter the circumstances, causing harm in public is wrong. Additionally, you previously assaulted Wu Hongtao on the street. Both these incidents have witnesses and evidence. Am I stating the facts correctly?"

Su Yingxue pursed her lips. "No."

"Then I shall pronounce the sentence. You..."

"Lord, please wait!"

A voice from outside the hall rang out, that was Wu Jinyan's voice.

Su Yingxue frowned and glanced over. "Sister Jinyan, I told you there was no need to come. I can handle the situation today."

Wu Jinyan formally declared her identity and, being a witness, Liang Jin permitted her entry into the courtroom.

She walked over to Su Yingxue's side and spoke gently, "Your troubles were caused for my sake. How could I just stand by?"

Su Yingxue was unsure of how to respond.

Originally, she was concerned about Wu Jinyan's feelings. After all, it was her father and family who were facing her in court today.
