86 Public Trial (2)

Cao Jianbo didn't want to see Duan Sida's fake performance, so he picked up the wooden slab and slapped it on the table.

Pak!

"Silence!"

Duan Sida closed her mouth and did not dare to speak. After a moment of silence, Cao Jianbo asked again, "Do you know Master Chen, the owner of the Chen family's village? What is your relationship with him?"

The moment Duan Sida heard Master Chen's name from Cao Jianbo's mouth, his heart sank. Duan Sida knew that Cao Jianbo already knew everything and only asked because he needed to let people know about his crime before Cao Jianbo could announce the punishment. Since he couldn't get out of this predicament, Duan Sida decided to drag everyone into the water.

After making the decision, Duan Sida looked up at Cao Jianbo and said, "Answering Da Ren. This commoner knows Master Chen. Ten days ago, he came to propose marriage to this commoner's niece and gave us one hundred taels of silver as a betrothal gift."
