Wu Ren felt confident.
Everything the Village Lady said was correct.
The Wu family indeed had plans to let Ma Wenpo kill Tong Pandi, but isn't Tong Pandi perfectly fine?
Even if Ma Wenpo confessed, her testimony alone wouldn't suffice.
The government cannot interfere with the family's matters of wanting a daughter-in-law to bear a son.
As long as he insists that the daughter-in-law cannot give birth to a son and wants a divorce, the government will support the Wu family.
Understanding this, Wu Ren said, "All of this is slanderous means by the Village Lady to take away the Wu Family's daughter-in-law. Lord Jiao, think about it, why would the Wu family want to kill the daughter-in-law? We just want her to continue trying to bear a son; we aren't unable to support this. To be blunt, if she really can't, taking a concubine for my son is also an option. Why would we kill her? Killing her would get us into legal trouble. We merely want a son, not trouble with a murder case."
