Time Travel: Brothel Maid

Chapter 207 Give me a chance

After a while, there was a rustling sound from inside the room, followed by footsteps. The light footsteps seemed to step on his heart with every step, making him nervous.

Then the door was opened.

When Xiao Guoer saw the person standing outside the door, she was stunned for a moment. In just three days, he looked much more haggard. His eye sockets were deeply sunken, and there was a dark spot under his eyes. He hadn't slept for who knows how long. His chin was also much more pointed...

Xiao Guoer suddenly realized that she had suddenly felt soft-hearted because of the man's miserable appearance. Her face turned pale with panic and she was about to close the door in the next second.

But he was stopped by a pale big hand.

Tang Jingchen finally spoke, his hoarse voice with a gentle tone, expressing indescribable complex emotions, "Xiao Guoer..."

But he only called out her name before he was interrupted by her angry voice, "Stop! Tang Jingche, have you forgotten what I said? If you have forgotten, I'll remind you again! If you come to provoke me again, I'll kill you!"

"I don't want to see you again! Get out of my sight now, immediately, right now!" She glared at him fiercely, anger and disgust flashing in her eyes.

Tang Jingchen looked at the little girl in front of him who was looking at him coldly and sternly, and he felt pain in his heart, both for himself and for her.

The reason why I hate him so much is because I feel that I have been wronged in my sincerity, right?

Hatred only arises when the heart is deeply broken.

She is very sad too!

This time, facing her hatred, Tang Jingchen did not back down. He stretched out his big hand and supported the door to stop her from closing it.

He knew that after today, when he set out on the journey back to the capital city tomorrow, the matter would be settled, and it would be extremely difficult to "overturn the verdict" in the future.

Tonight is his last time and chance.

"I have a way to prove my innocence."

Xiao Guoer's angry expression froze, her eyes lit up, and she asked hesitantly, "What method..."

"You will know if you come with me."

Xiao Guoer looked at the man in front of her with half belief and half doubt. Her heart felt as if a bottle of five flavors had been overturned, with all kinds of tastes: sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty.

She didn't know whether she should believe him again, but she knew clearly that she hoped from the bottom of her heart that what happened that night and everything she saw were fake and she was just a dream!

She hoped that one day she would wake up from the dream and realize that nothing had happened. She and Jingchen could still be as sweet and happy together as before, and imagine a beautiful future.

But at the same time, she despised herself for being so weak and unwilling to face reality.

Tang Jingchen saw the light in her eyes flickering, with a tangled face. He hesitated to respond, and pleaded gently again, "You have to give me a chance, and give yourself a chance, right?"

Xiao Guoer looked at this young master who had always lived a life of luxury, and now showed her such a pleading and humble attitude, and her heart suddenly ached.

Well, she couldn't remain indifferent to him after all, so why should she force herself to be cruel and heartless to him? Didn't she also hold on to that little bit of hope that she was unwilling to give up?

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Tang Jingchen breathed a sigh of relief, but the rest of his breath was still hanging on the Eighth Prince.

He had to persuade the Eighth Prince to be a witness and seek justice for him.

The Wu family father and daughter dared to confuse right and wrong and frame him, so it would not be difficult for them to turn their backs on their own ideas.

If he could not immediately let the Eighth Prince witness the evidence with his own eyes to prove his innocence, and later the Wu family father and daughter tampered with the evidence and said that he had made a mistake in the diagnosis, or that he simply refused to cooperate and insisted on blackmailing him, he would be helpless.

Therefore, he not only had to convince Xiao Guoer that he was innocent, but he also had to find a witness who was powerful enough to intimidate Lord Wu.

Tang Jingchen turned and walked towards the courtyard where the Eighth Prince was. Xiao Guoer followed behind him at a distance of two or three meters.

After Shen Jing knew the purpose of Tang Jingchen's visit, he looked at the two of them deeply, sighed helplessly in his heart, and then turned around to report the situation to the Eighth Prince in the study.

After hearing what Shen Jing said, Zhao Yunrong paused with his hand holding the pen, and a drop of thick black ink slid from the tip of the pen and dripped onto the written letter, leaving a small stain.

Zhao Yunrong put down his pen, crumpled up the destroyed letter and threw it aside, then leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.

He carefully recalled every detail of the incident in his mind, and only stood up slowly when he was sure that nothing had been missed.

"Let's go and see what evidence Tang Jingchen has found."

Shen Jing followed closely behind the Eighth Prince. Looking at his master's calm and confident look as if everything was under control, he secretly felt sorry for Tang Jingchen.

Zhao Yunrong pushed open the door and walked out. At a glance, he saw Tang Jingchen and Xiao Guoer standing one after the other, bowing and saluting to him together. His pupils suddenly shrank.

Although the two were more than ten feet apart and had solemn expressions on their faces, he somehow sensed a sense of compatibility between them.

Zhao Yunrong's face darkened. He hated seeing the two of them standing together.

"Tang Jingchen, what evidence did you find?"

Tang Jingchen replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, it is difficult for me to give you the evidence. Please come to my courtyard and see it with your own eyes, and you will know."

Zhao Yunrong put the tip of his tongue against his cheek, looked at Tang Jingchen, and raised his lips in an indiscernible expression, "Then let's go."

The Eighth Prince led the way, followed by the other three. When they arrived at Tang Jingchen's courtyard, Wu Zinian and his daughter Wu Qingqing had already arrived. There were also two women in their forties or fifties standing in the corner. They were the important people that Shun'er had found according to his young master's order.

After everyone saluted to the Eighth Prince, they stood aside silently.

The Wu father and daughter were already confused when Tang Jingchen summoned them on the pretext of "discussing important matters". Now that they saw the Eighth Prince had also come, their doubts increased a little. However, since the Eighth Prince was present, they could not ask directly and could only wait quietly to see what Tang Jingchen was going to do.

A throne was placed in the courtyard just as it was that night.

Zhao Yunrong sat on it and said, "Tang Jingchen, can you tell me now?"

Tang Jingchen took a deep breath, solemnized his expression, stepped forward and bowed, his deep voice revealing his determination to fight to the bitter end.

"I have never done anything illicit with Miss Wu. I have found two midwives. They can prove whether I was drugged that night by testing whether Miss Wu is still innocent."

This sentence, like a thunderclap, resounded throughout the entire courtyard.
