Kang Ru berated loudly, "Xi Xi, what nonsense are you talking about?! Why would my mother kill Yunqiu? Although my mother always reprimanded Yunqiu, it was because Yunqiu did something wrong. Yunqiu is just a junior, so why couldn't she understand my mother? Even if it was for my sake…"
"Kang Ru!" Qiao Xi roared angrily, her chest heaving violently as she gritted her teeth. "It's been so many years, but you're still unwilling to believe my mother! Fortunately, I obtained evidence. Otherwise, my mother would have to bear the bad reputation of abandoning her husband and son for the rest of her life!
"According to the Kang family, you were very good to her. On the contrary, she was wilful, disloyal, and heartless, right? Then open your eyes wide!"
At this moment, Qiao Xi had taken a few medical reports from Song Shijing. They were Xia Yunqiu's medical reports. Her body was covered in injuries, her arm was broken, and there were whip marks on her back. There were also many needle marks on her body. In addition, she had suffered a heavy blow to her forehead.
The peerless Xia Yunqiu back then actually suffered inhumane abuse. When everyone saw the reports, their hearts could not help but ache.
Kang Ru widened his eyes!
Qiao Xi clicked on another video. It was the testimony of the servants in the Kang family's villa.
'Old Madam didn't like Madam Yunqiu. She said that she was a vixen who seduced Master, but we could all tell that Madam Yunqiu didn't want to stay here. Master forced her to stay.'
'When Master brought Madam Yunqiu back, he didn't allow her to leave the bedroom. Whenever she was allowed to leave, someone had to follow her. Master told us that her health wasn't good, so she couldn't go out, but we all knew that he was putting her under house arrest."
"That day, I saw Old Madam push Madam Yunqiu down the stairs with my own eyes, which caused Madam Yunqiu's arm to break. Old Madam even threatened Madam Yunqiu not to tell Master. Madam Yunqiu was afraid that we would be in a difficult position and even comforted us that she was fine…"
Next, there were testimonies of the neighbors and doctors. Everyone could prove that Kang Ru had imprisoned Xia Yunqiu, and Old Madam Kang had abused her.
"No… This isn't true! Xi Xi, I loved Yunqiu. I won't marry for the rest of my life. Did you bribe them to testify?"
"I'm not as despicable as your Kang family." Qiao Xi grunted coldly and looked at Kang Ru with a burning gaze. "Mr. Kang, when you brought my mother home, didn't Old Madam Kang say that you could marry my mother as long as you gave up your title? But you didn't."
"I…"
Qiao Xi said word by word, "It's rare to have the best of both worlds in life. Why should you have everything? If you were unwilling to give up your title, then you should've let her leave!"
Kang Ru's face was ashen. He lowered his head and retorted, "No…"
"Mr. Kang, you said that I bribed the people in the video, huh? Those who can stay near the Kang family are all nobles and big shots in business. How can they be bribed by me? I don't think I have the ability!"
Hearing Qiao Xi's words, the surrounding people gasped.
"Those nobles all care about their reputation. They despise being bribed and threatened the most. It seems that Kang Ru really imprisoned Madam Xia back then. Old Madam Kang had also tortured her."
"Xia Yunqiu was so pitiful! She was targeted by a man like Kang Ru and was forced to separate from her lover. She wasn't allowed to leave and wasn't given a status. She was even tortured by Old Madam Kang all day long!"
At this moment, everyone knew how hypocritical Kang Ru was under his affectionate mask. They also knew how dirty the Kang family's glamorous appearance was.
Qiao Xi looked at Kang Ru whose eyes were bloodshot and felt extremely delighted!
She said coldly, "Mr. Kang, you keep saying that you loved her, but in reality, you don't understand how to love someone at all. If you really loved her, you wouldn't have forced her or let Old Madam Kang torture her. You were unwilling to offend your mother, so you could only let my mother endure it. How long did you want her to endure it? Did she have to endure it for the rest of her life or until the day she was killed by Old Madam Kang?"
"I… I didn't…" Kang Ru shook his head in pain, but he did not know how to explain himself.
Qiao Xi grunted coldly and did not want to listen to his retort. Now that the truth was out, no one would believe anything he said.
At this moment, Old Madam Kang stood up with a vicious expression. "Qiao Xi! You're talking nonsense! When did I want to kill Xia Yunqiu? I only reprimanded her a few times, but she actually retorted. I punished her a few times, but I never said I wanted to kill her!
"Don't try to drive a wedge between me and Ah Ru. Ah Ru won't believe your nonsense!"
Qiao Xi sneered and snapped her fingers indifferently. Another video appeared on the big screen. The timestamp in the lower right corner showed that it took place more than 20 years ago, and the location was the Kang family's villa in Y Nation.
