Chapter 121 Uncovering the Truth

Aunt Pei looked nervous.

Mu Junyan led the little bitch's hand out in public and specially invited the Wang family to come. Could it be that he wanted to...

"It's about a secret that happened seventeen years ago. It's related to the Wang family and the Wenchang Marquisate, so we invite both parties to come for the interrogation together."

Interrogation?

Aunt Pei's face changed drastically.

Gu Wanru looked at Aunt Pei nervously, but the muscles on her face were tense and her hands were twisting the handkerchief, which made Gu Wanru even more scared.

Wang Heng, who had been in officialdom for decades, immediately sensed something was wrong.

He put on a serious face and said, "Duke Yong, what is the matter that requires interrogation?"

Mu Junyan smiled and waved his hand: "Please sit down, everyone."

Gu Huan glanced at him and saw him pointing at the chair beside him: "Madam, please sit down."

lady!

The expressions of the people present suddenly changed, and they all looked at Gu Huan seriously.

Gu Huan didn't hesitate and sat down straight.

Mu Junyan turned his head to look at Gu Huan and said softly, "Do you want to come or should I?"

Gu Huan's eyes turned red and she pursed her lips: "Please let me do it."

"Okay." Admiration appeared in Mu Junyan's eyes.

She was not a caged bird.

Gu Huan slowly stood up and bowed to all the elders.

The girl threw away her previous obedience and humility and stood gracefully among the crowd.

The clear and beautiful voice was filled with restraint and forbearance: "Seventeen years ago, Pei used her illegitimate daughter to secretly replace the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's legitimate mother."

"You're talking nonsense!" Aunt Pei jumped up almost at the same time, pointed at Gu Huan's nose and rushed forward.

The whole house was shocked and no one reacted.

Mu Junyan's eyes darkened.

Donghua and Zhou Zhilan, who were standing by, were about to try to stop them, but Wang suddenly jumped up, grabbed Aunt Pei who had just rushed to her side, and slapped her in the face.

For some reason, she felt like exploding when she heard Gu Huan's words, as if her speculation from yesterday had been pierced into pieces, and all her grievances poured out at this moment.

Bang.

The crisp sound of the slap was like the sound of an oil pan exploding.

"How is that possible!" Gu Yuan jumped up, his face turning blue with anger.

The Wang family were all stunned and looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Wang Heng remained calm, frowning and saying, "Gu Huan, you can't just talk nonsense about this."

Gu Huan nodded: "Uncle is right, everything depends on evidence. Before I present the evidence, let me first tell you how I have lived for the past seventeen years."

She spoke calmly, word by word, saying that she had been abused by Aunt Pei since she was a child and was forced to become Gu Wanru's shadow, copying books, writing poems and doing needlework for Gu Wanru. Aunt Pei discovered that she was on good terms with the private school teacher's son, and was afraid that she would be taken away and ruin Pei's plan, so she pushed her off a cliff and killed her.

After she came of age, Pei used drugs to accelerate her growth and fed her contraceptive soup to make her lose the ability to conceive. If she disobeyed, she would be locked in a dark room, not given food or water for three days and three nights, stuffed feces and urine into her mouth, pricked her hands with silver needles, forced her to sign false slave documents, and thrown into a dilapidated temple in the suburbs to scare her. She told her story one by one.

She told the truth and did not hide anything.

Gu Huan tried hard to control herself and keep her voice calm.

However, she did not involve Pei Yi because Pei Yi was still of great use.

Mu Junyan looked at the girl's trembling back, his heart softened, he stood up and walked to her side, put his arm around her shoulders and let her lean on him.

Gu Huan almost couldn't hold back her tears, so she quickly looked up at Mu Junyan with a smile.

He gave her an encouraging look in return.

Wang looked at her daughter calmly telling about her miserable and difficult life. She felt heartbroken, trembling all over and almost fainted.

Nanny Zhou quickly supported her.

Gu Huan looked at the pale-faced Gu Wanru: "Gu Wanru was almost always there every time I was abused. They took pleasure in abusing me. Pei said that I was born a slave out of wedlock. I want to respect my elder sister in everything. Even if my elder sister wants me to die, I will die immediately! They sent me to the Duke's Mansion. Despite my resistance, they tried every means to send me to the son-in-law's bed as a concubine."

Everyone was stunned.

It's really shocking.

If it is true, it is too tragic for the legitimate daughter of a marquis to be humiliated like this.

Aunt Pei no longer cared about her dignity and screamed like crazy: "She's talking nonsense. She just wanted to climb into the bed of the son-in-law, but the eldest girl didn't allow it, so she turned around and hooked up with the father-in-law. Such a shameless bitch, do you still want to listen to her nonsense?"

The maids from the Mu Mansion rushed forward and pressed her down on both sides, making her unable to move.

Gu Wanru also cried out, "She is jealous of me. Mother, she is jealous of me and framed me."

Wang was extremely upset.

"Gu Huan, do you know that what you said will destroy the Gu family and also implicate the Wang family?"

Gu Huan looked at Wang Heng.

This was the first time she met this uncle.

Gu Huan was surprised and looked straight at Wang Heng: "I have suffered for the Gu family for seventeen years. Don't I deserve justice? Will the Gu and Wang families turn a blind eye to such things for the sake of face?"

Wang Heng was very displeased with her tone.

When I first heard about this, I was so shocked. But then I changed my mind and thought, if people knew that the wife of a marquis could not control her concubine and was fooled by a concubine who came from a merchant family, what would happen?

Not only was the legitimate daughter replaced, but she also became someone else's concubine. They, the Wang family of Langya, could not afford to lose this person.

The Wang family of Langya had more than sixty members, among whom were servants of the Three Dukes, eighty were attendants to the throne, and twenty-five were ministers of the Ministry of Personnel.

How could the glory built by more than a dozen generations be destroyed by the daughter of a woman from a side branch clan?

He said sternly, "It's just a status, don't take it too seriously. If you want to be a legitimate daughter, then let your legitimate mother register you as her daughter."

"Yes, yes, yes." Gu Yuan came back to his senses from his shock.

He thought that family disgrace should not be made public.

"Just an identity?"

Gu Huan never expected that her closest blood relative would say such cold words.

Does she care about her status as a legitimate daughter?

Suddenly, she remembered what Mu Junyan had asked her just now, if it didn't go as she wished...

It turned out that he had long guessed that even if Wang and Gu knew the truth, they might not admit it for the sake of face.

After all, she was just a daughter.

Gu and Wang have more daughters to protect.

Thinking of this possibility, Gu Huan felt cold all over.

She turned and looked at her mother.

Wang was crying uncontrollably, but she didn't even look at her.

Could it be that my mother knew about this a long time ago?

The big hand holding his shoulder exerted a little force, and Gu Huan came back to his senses.

Regardless of whether the two families recognize each other today, she must expose the true identities of Pei and Gu Wanru today.

At least, I can give an explanation for my tragic death in my previous life!

Gu Huan sneered: "It doesn't matter. If the Wang family and the Gu family can't make the decision for me and clear my name, I will file a lawsuit with the government and let the great judge tell me the truth!"

"You dare!" Gu Yuan jumped up, but was silenced immediately by Mu Junyan's cold eyes.

Wang Heng was used to big scenes and was not afraid.

But he was also weighing the pros and cons. Seeing how closely Mu Junyan protected Gu Huan, he also had to consider Mu Junyan's face.

"Do you have any evidence?"

Gu Huan turned her head and looked at Chi Yan: "Bring it up."

Chi Yan waved his hand, and an old woman came up, supporting a person.

"Yinzhi, you are not dead yet?" Gu Wanru screamed as if she saw a ghost.

Gu Huan said, "You really want her to die, right? Pei killed her parents, but her mother raised Gu Wanru with her milk."

Aunt Pei's face turned pale.

Yinzhi knelt down crying, held out her mother's blood letter in her hands, and recounted the crimes of Aunt Pei and Gu Wanru one by one.

Everyone was stunned.

Wang couldn't bear it anymore and rushed towards Gu Huan, but was held back by Nanny Zhou.

She struggled and cried to Gu Huan, "Huan'er, I'm sorry. It was my fault that I didn't recognize you sooner!"

Gu Huan couldn't help but burst into tears.

very nice.

Her mother recognized her.

"Wang Linyi, stop messing around!" Wang Heng glared at her and gave a look to his wife beside him.

His wife, with red eyes, walked quickly forward, covered her mouth with her hand, and whispered something in her ear.

Wang's crying stopped abruptly and she looked at her with wide eyes in shock.

Mrs. Wang Heng looked apologetic and shook her head slowly, signaling her to be quiet.

Gu Huan saw all their actions.

The warmth that had just arisen suddenly dissipated.

The whole body is cold.
