On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

Chapter 1435 Late-Night Rendezvous with a Young Man, My Darling Wife

The willow grove under the cover of night appeared particularly eerie.

The wind blew through the treetops, making a "whooshing" sound, like a female ghost crying.

Zhao Shou'er lifted her skirt and walked along the uneven path, her steps uneven.

There was no fear on her face, but rather excitement and anticipation.

Soon they arrived deep within the willow grove.

We stopped under a willow tree that required two people to hug.

She glanced around to make sure no one was nearby, then mimicked the call of a cuckoo a few times towards the big willow tree.

"Cuckoo, cuckoo."

The clear chirping of birds echoed through the quiet night.

A tall, slender figure emerged from behind the large willow tree.

He looked to be a young man in his early twenties.

He wore a faded blue long gown, had a handsome face and a refined demeanor; he was clearly a scholar.

"Seoul, you've come." The young man's face, which had been etched with melancholy, broke into a joyful smile when he saw Zhao Shou'er.

He strode forward and pulled Zhao Shou'er into his arms.

I missed you so much.

"I miss you too, Brother Wenxuan." Zhao Shou'er buried her head in the man's arms, her voice trembling with aggrieved sobs. "You have no idea how I've gotten through these past few days."

"I know, I know." The young man called "Wenxuan" gently patted her back, comforting her in a tender voice, "It's all that damned Wang Tiechui's fault! How could a crude blacksmith like him be worthy of you?"

"If my parents hadn't forced me to take that damned imperial examination back then, how could I have let you marry this kind of person?"

"Brother Wenxuan, don't say that." Zhao Shou'er lifted her head from his embrace, her big, watery eyes filled with love. "I believe that one day you will pass the imperial examination with flying colors, and then you will marry me in a grand and glorious way."

"Of course." Upon hearing this, the young man's face lit up with a confident smile. "I received personal guidance from Zhang, the scholar from our county, when I went to participate in the provincial examination."

He said that with my talent, I could easily pass the imperial examination to become a scholar.

"Wait for me. Once I pass the imperial examination and become a scholar, I'll see if Wang Tiechui dares to bully you again!"

"Mm." Zhao Shou'er nodded, a look of anticipation appearing on her face.

The two embraced under the moonlight, pouring out their hearts to each other and dreaming of a bright future.

What they don't know is.

In the darkness surrounding them, a dozen pairs of cold eyes were silently watching them.

"Boss, should we make a move?" A guard appeared behind Xuan Ya, his voice carrying a hint of seeking instructions.

“No rush.” Xuan Ya shook his head, his eyes, hidden beneath the black iron mask, gleaming with amusement.

"Let them linger a little longer."

……

In the willow grove, the atmosphere grew increasingly ambiguous.

After a long separation, the two lovers, having poured out their hearts to each other, found it hard to contain their emotions.

"Seoul, you are so beautiful." The young man named "Wenxuan" looked at the gorgeous woman in his arms and felt his mouth go dry and a lustful fire rising in his lower abdomen.

He reached out to untie Zhao Shou'er's belt.

Zhao Shou'er half-heartedly resisted, her face showing a coy shyness that seemed to both refuse and welcome.

"Brother Wenxuan, no... not here, someone will see us."

"What are you afraid of?" The young man smiled, picked her up by the waist, and walked towards the willow tree. "This is the middle of nowhere. Besides you and me, who else is here?"

He just finished speaking.

A cold, emotionless voice rang out from behind them.

"Who said there isn't?"

"Who?!" Upon hearing this, the young man was so frightened that his soul almost left his body!

He turned around, and not far behind them, a dozen figures dressed in black tight-fitting clothes and wearing black iron masks appeared out of nowhere!

"Ah—!!" Zhao Shou'er screamed when she saw these people and fainted from fright.

"Who...who are you people?!" The young man looked at the group of menacing uninvited guests in front of him, his refined face now filled with terror!

"Us?" The black crow slowly emerged from the darkness.

He looked at the terrified young man in front of him, his cold eyes filled with contempt.

You'll find out who we are in a moment!

The moment the words fell.

He appeared before the young man in an instant, like a ghost.

The young man, in a horrified gaze, had his neck gripped.

"Uh..." The young man felt an irresistible, terrifying force coming from his neck.

Before he could even let out a scream, his eyes rolled back and he lost consciousness completely.

"Take them away." Xuan Ya threw the young man, who was like a dead dog, and Zhao Shou'er, who had fainted from fright, on the ground and gave the order in an icy voice.

……

Early the next morning.

When Wang Tiechui woke up from his hangover.

He discovered that several uninvited guests had arrived at his home.

Those were several yamen runners dressed in official robes.

"Gentlemen, what's going on here..." Wang Tiechui looked at them, his honest and simple face full of confusion.

"Wang Tiechui." The head constable looked at him with a sympathetic expression. "Come with us."

"People from the capital have come to retry your case."

"What?!" Wang Tiechui was stunned when he heard this.

A dramatic event that will change his destiny is about to begin.

The capital city, Jingzhao Prefecture.

Today, the Jingzhao Prefecture is somewhat different from usual.

Not only were several times the number of imperial guards deployed at the gate, but the wide streets in front of the Jingzhao Prefecture were also packed with people from the capital who had come after hearing the news.

Everyone's face was filled with excitement and curiosity.

They were all just there to watch the spectacle.

Let's take a look at the final trial of the "Wang Tiechui rape case," which caused a great uproar in the imperial court a few days ago.

Chenshi.

The gates of the Jingzhao Prefecture slowly opened.

Wang Tiechui and Zhao Shou'er were escorted in by two yamen runners, one on each side.

Wang Tiechui's face was filled with tension and unease.

Zhao Shou'er, on the other hand, was tearful and pitiful, a sight that would evoke pity in anyone who saw her.

"mighty--"

As the Prefect of Jingzhao prefecture slammed his gavel down, the judge's gavel fell heavily.

The highly anticipated public trial has officially begun.

Who is kneeling below the hall?

"This humble citizen is Wang Tiechui."

"I am Zhao Shou'er."

"Zhao Shou'er." The Prefect of Jingzhao glanced at the woman below the platform, who was weeping uncontrollably, and asked, "You accused Wang Tiechui of raping you. Is that true?"

"Replying to your question, sir," Zhao Shou'er raised her head, her beautiful face now streaked with tears, making her appear even more pitiful, "it is indeed so."

"Wang Tiechui, he's not human! He ignored the woman's cries and resistance and forcibly defiled her chastity!"

"My lord, please do me justice!"

As she spoke, she began to kowtow repeatedly on the ground.
