“You're lying.”
你 若 知道 王家 谋害 了 齐家
“If you knew the Wang family murdered the Qi family,”
“why would you marry your daughter to Wang Xian?”
“You are lying, because no one would give their child to their family's murderers.”
In traditional Chinese society, marriage alliances between families involved in blood feuds or murder were socially and morally unthinkable, making such a contradiction fatal to a suspect's credibility.
