Chapter 567: Open the door, I am your ex-husband

As soon as the morning market in Beijing opens.

The news that the Prince of Jinping Marquisate and Princess Jinghe had an affair in a restaurant spread like wildfire.

In less than half an hour, the scandal was known to the rich and powerful, as well as the common people, in the streets and alleys of the capital.

After hearing this, Gu Saisai's face was already dripping with ink.

“Damn it!”

Gu Saisai was so angry that she knocked over the copper basin she used to wash her face.

"You are so useless!"

The maid quickly apologized: "We have sealed it in time, the news shouldn't have spread so quickly."

"You guys are sensible." Gu Saisai breathed a sigh of relief, but quickly calmed down.

His eyes scanned the room sharply.

After a while, her eyes fell on the incense burner.

Although she loves to play with men, she is not addicted to sex.

She was so passionate last night that she must have fallen into the trap of the villain.

Moreover, how could there be a bed and quilt in a private room of a restaurant?

She immediately ordered her maid, "Go find a doctor and have him examine the ashes in the incense burner to see if there's anything adulterated in it."

The maid immediately went out with the incense burner. As soon as she reached the door and opened it, she saw seven or eight maids standing outside the door in a menacing manner.

The maidservant was so frightened that she shuddered and almost dropped the incense burner in her arms.

She quickly knelt down and saluted: "Gu...Madam Gu."

Nanny Gu glanced at her arrogantly and strode into the room. When Nanny Gu saw Huo Yaoxing still sleeping on the bed, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes.

She lowered her eyes, bowed respectfully to Gu Saisai, and then said seriously, "Princess, the eldest princess ordered this old servant to take you back."

Gu Saisai looked at the nanny and asked, "Mammy, why are you here? Could it be that the news has spread?"

Nanny Gu said, "The princess learned about this as soon as she woke up, and immediately ordered this old servant to take you back."

Gu Saisai gnashed her teeth in anger, broke the hairpin in her hand, stood up and said, "Let's go back home."

She thought about it and asked someone to take Huo Yaoxing away.

Her maidservant was very quick and efficient. She wrapped the person in a quilt and carried him away.

Gu Saisai was fearless at the beginning.

But she didn't expect that after returning home, she would be scolded by the princess: "You are my daughter, there is nothing wrong with keeping some male favorites and sleeping with a few men.

You can play however you want, but why do you have to act so foolishly in front of others?

Now that the news has spread everywhere, how are you going to end it?"

Gu Saisai curled her lips indifferently: "It's just to let people talk about it, let them say whatever they want.

At worst, we can release some more explosive news, and it will be suppressed in a few days."

"If it were any other man, and he wasn't in the capital, then it would be fine, and there would be no problem in handling it this way.

But this was in the capital, and that person was Huo Yaoxing.

He became famous just a few years ago because of his deceased wife, so it might not be so easy to suppress it now."

Gu Saisai finally realized the seriousness of the situation and hurriedly grabbed the eldest princess's arm: "Mother, what should we do now?"

The eldest princess glared at her with dismay and said, "The only solution now is to get married."

"What!" Gu Saisai was so shocked that her voice rose. "My mother asked me to marry Huo Yaoxing? I can't!

Huo Yaoxing has nothing but a good face. I don't want to marry him."

Huo Yaoxing is as cunning as a sieve. If I really marry him, it would be difficult to control him.

It will be difficult to deal with her once she gets tired of it.

The eldest princess said angrily, "It's too late to regret now. You have half royal blood in your body, and the people in the clan will not let you do whatever you want."

Gu Saisai was so angry that she threw herself on the bed and burst into tears.

Although Gu Saisai was extremely reluctant.

The palace still issued an imperial decree to grant the marriage, and the wedding date was set for a month later.

Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Time passes from spring to summer, and from summer to autumn.

The house that Wen Yan bought had been renovated long ago.

Wen Yan took her belongings and moved there with Yuesheng and Pei'er.

The news of her divorce from Ying Zhilin was also released.

During this period, Ying Zhilin solved two major cases and his official position was promoted to a higher level.

He is definitely a talented young man and a perfect son-in-law.

Ying Zhilin was promoted twice within a year, and everyone speculated that he had caught the emperor's eye again.

The emperor values ​​him and will not marry him to the princess.

For a while, the threshold of Ying's house was almost broken down by matchmakers.

They were all matchmakers for Ying Zhilin.

Among them were women from third and fourth rank officials.

At first, Ying Zhilin refused solemnly.

It is said that he is devoted to his career and has no intention of remarrying.

But those people didn't listen.

It's as persistent as a dog-skin plaster.

In addition to inviting matchmakers to the door, they will also create a series of accidents such as chance encounters, fake falls, and heroes saving beauties.

Ying Zhilin was so frightened that he was paranoid and went in and out stealthily every day, just like a thief.

In the end, he had to make it known that he had given his body and soul to his ex-wife Liu Wenyan, and that he would not have any other woman except Liu Wenyan in this life.

After hearing these words, Wen Yan almost spit out the chicken noodle soup in her mouth through her nose.

She wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and asked in shock, "Did he really say that?"

Pei'er nodded rapidly, "At that time, my uncle... no, it was Master Ying who was blocked at the gate of the Dali Temple and said that in front of dozens of people."

Wen Yan raised her eyebrows but didn't comment.

Pei'er continued, "Oh, by the way, Miss, Brother Dahu came to Jingming Tower today and said that Master Ying asked me to tell you that you don't have to stay at home lately."

Wen Yan sat up straight instantly.

It seems that the case is finally coming to an end.

She had waited nearly two years for this case, and finally the truth would come to light.

In addition to staying at home herself, Wen Yan also quietly notified some people she knew.

Due to various unexpected events, the shops under her management were gradually closed down for recuperation.

Just as she was ready, the Imperial Guards quietly entered the city that night and surrounded the Prince Consort's Mansion and the Lan family.

In the next few days, Ying Zhilin never returned home.

The huge capital city was also in a state of panic, and all the people closed their doors and windows and dared not show their heads.

In the tense and depressing atmosphere, three days passed in a flash.

Wen Yan keenly noticed that the patrols in the capital were becoming increasingly strict.

That night.

Wen Yan lay in front of the window on the second floor, looking into the distance in the direction of Prince Consort Gu's Mansion and the Lan Mansion.

It was dark and silent there.

But Wen Yan knew that a storm that could destroy everything in its path was brewing there.

Suddenly.

A burst of fire broke out in the direction of Lan Mansion.

The fire grew bigger and bigger, and soon spread wider and wider, involving the homes of other officials and almost half of the capital city.

Then there were earth-shaking shouts, mixed with the faint sound of swords clashing.

Wen Yan looked solemn.

She didn't expect the case to have such wide implications.

I was glad that I didn't act on my own and destroy the den according to my own plan.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to completely eradicate these termites at once.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

Her heart finally relaxed and she was about to go downstairs to rest.

Suddenly, a hoarse voice called out from outside the courtyard: "Wen Yan, open the door. I am your ex-husband."
