"Old Master Du's reminder is right, it was my negligence. It's just that when I thought of the nature of this case, I was filled with righteous indignation and forgot the proper process."
He immediately glared at Qin Shi and added, "This guilty woman has repeatedly provoked and stirred up trouble. She even brazenly fabricated the crime of 'adultery' and slandered her eldest daughter-in-law, Lady Qin, as well as Du Zhongheng's innocent reputation. Her actions are despicable, and her heart should be punished!"
"Now this official's sentence is as follows. The original sentence should have been more severe than yesterday's, but considering her old age, the same sentence of half a year, the same fine of silver ten liang, and a public apology to Lady Qin and Young Master Du."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a gurgling sound from Qin Shi's throat, as if there was phlegm stuck. Then, she screamed, "Oh my God, how am I going to live!"
