Young Master Wen grumbled in a rough voice.
Qiao Xuan, as if startled by him, patted her chest and took two steps back. "Young Master Wen, you are so scary!"
"Greetings, Lord Qin!" Qiao Xuan declared loudly. "Is the defendant not allowed to speak in court? Must we solely rely on the plaintiff's words? Is this the rule of the country?"
"You…"
Young Master Wen's eyes became even more venomous, and his breathing grew heavier.
He was on the verge of exploding with anger and regret.
Had he known that dealing with Qiao Xuan would be this challenging and bold, he wouldn't have rushed into investigating the case. Instead, he should have let Lord Qin send her to jail first to teach her a lesson before bringing her to court. He wanted to see if she would still dare to be stubborn!
His desire to vent his anger had backfired.
