As Sun Junyan spoke, an expression of displeasure immediately crossed the magistrate's face. "Master Sun, refrain from voicing your speculative guesses. I have always been fair in my judgments."
"Indeed your mother, the Sun family, has oppressed Qiao Xiaomai's family for over a decade, forcing Qiao Xiaomai's mother to leave their hometown. Now that she's finally returned, the Sun family started provoking and insulting her again. If this continues to be tolerated, are they even deserving of being family?"
"Moreover, when Qiao Xiaomai went to argue with them, it was your mother who started the insults. With resentment old and new, wouldn't it have been reasonable for him to retaliate in his fit of anger? He is a grown man. When someone insults his mother in front of him, do you expect him to merely stand by and watch?"
"You only consider your own grievances. Have you ever thought about the harm you've done in the past?"
