Then the prince consort turned to point at Lady Wang, "She was jealous of Chuanwen's rise to power and afraid that he would lose his title of Marquis of Changxing, so she made me fabricate a story to provoke Chaoyang and use him as a tool to kill him!"

Everyone followed the prince consort's finger and looked at Madam Wang. The old lady of Changxing Marquis looked incredulous, but Xu Yan was not so surprised. She knew about the relationship between Wang Sanlang and Madam Wang when Wang Sanlang first tried to set fire to her shop. Wang Sanlang must have been sent by Madam Wang to cause trouble in her shop, so it was not so hard to understand why Madam Wang would send someone to harm her daughter.

Wang could no longer sit still; she knelt down with a thud, stammering, "I...I...I didn't..."

She was panicked but didn't know how to explain. If she said no, it was indeed her third brother who came up with the idea. If she said yes, it was obvious that her third brother was being used by the prince consort.

When did Wang Sanlang return?

Chuanwen went to check the plot with a puzzled look. Everyone was also quite confused. Didn't Wang Sanlang elope with Zhao Dajia's wife? When did he come back?

[Oh, so after the two lost their wallets, they begged for a while. Then, Brother Dajia's wife, Cuihua, got tired of Wang Sanlang and tricked him into selling him to a slave trader, while she ran off with a wealthy merchant...]

Things turned out this way... Lord Wang was inexplicably subjected to everyone's gaze, and was too ashamed to look up.

[Wang Sanlang was sold to a circus troupe and almost got his skin glued on and made to perform as a monkey! Hahaha... Oh, I can't laugh, I'm still feeling wronged, I can't mess up the role...]

Everyone: ......

[Whoa! After returning to the capital, Wang Sanlang made contact with Wang Shi and was even placed in my mother's shop by her to cause trouble!]

Chuanwen looked at his mother with some worry, then quickly looked back, "Oh, thank goodness my mother is shrewd; she already figured out Wang Sanlang's identity!"

Xu Yan was speechless. "Daughter, if you're not good at praising people, then praise them less."

Wang Shi, under everyone's gaze, became even more flustered after catching a glimpse of the utterly disappointed look in the eyes of the Marquis of Changxing's matriarch. Tears involuntarily streamed down her face. She hadn't wanted this to happen either...

Chuanyu didn't believe her mother would really do anything to hurt Chuanwen. She knew her mother didn't like her second uncle and the others, but she also knew her mother's character. Her mother might point at Wenmei's nose and grit her teeth to curse her as a brat, but she would never plot to make Wenmei fall into the water.

Just like before, when the kidnappers wanted to kidnap my second aunt but kidnapped my mother instead, my mother rolled her eyes at my second aunt when she came back and said a lot of bad things about her behind her back, but she never thought of taking revenge.

"Mother, what exactly happened? Explain yourself, or you and Third Uncle will both be held responsible."

Chuanyu couldn't hear Chuanwen's inner thoughts, nor did she know the specifics of what was happening, but she trusted her mother, and her words were very comforting at this moment. Wang looked at her daughter and was afraid when she heard that she had to take responsibility, but when she met Chuanyu's firm yet gentle eyes, she forced herself to calm down.

Lord Wang also felt that he could not remain uninvolved. Although he had done nothing wrong, one was his own daughter and the other was his own son (even though they had severed ties). As the old father, he had to come out and apologize.

When Wang saw her father, her tears flowed even more. If this matter was not handled properly, it would implicate more than just the Marquis of Changxing's mansion.

【What?! Wang has a lover!!!】

Then, flipping to the later part of the story, he looked at Lady Wang and thought it didn't seem right. Lady Wang, who had just run over intending to kneel, stumbled and fell on her backside, changing her kneeling position to sitting.

Just as Wang Shi had composed herself and was about to explain the situation, she was startled and she and Chuan Yu quickly went to help her up.

[Oh, so Chuanze made a mistake. The person Wang Shi went to see every evening was Wang Sanlang, not some other man...]

The old lady of Changxing Marquis's incredulous eyes gradually relaxed, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Girl, your grandmother is old and can't help being frightened. Can you speak properly?

The emperor and several officials were somewhat disappointed; the melons were gone.

But the battle for the title is just gossip, haha, but Chuanwen's is still the best!

[Haha, Chuanze found a piece of paper with a love poem on it. He happened to see Wang Shi passing by and assumed it was hers, hence the misunderstanding and his subsequent stalking and wall-climbing service!]

Lord Wang, who had already knelt down, breathed a long sigh of relief, but before he could fully relax, Chuanwen's heartfelt message arrived, albeit belatedly.

Actually, that love poem was written by Sister Yu for Xu Wuyou.

Cough cough cough!!!

Lord Wang was out of breath and began to cough violently.

The old lady of Changxing Marquis was not out of breath, but she was about to run out of breath.

The bombshell is here! The bombshell is here!

The officials watching the spectacle had their eyes gleaming. They chuckled at Marquis Changxing and Lord Wang, thinking that the emperor wouldn't throw daggers at them, hehe.

The emperor pursed his lips slightly and laughed. As long as the scandal involving the Marquis of Changxing's mansion was big enough, no one would remember the consort's misdeeds. Of course, he would not let the consort off easily.

Seeing Lord Wang so frightened, the prince consort guessed that Lord Wang might also be involved, so he became even more emboldened and jumped out to kneel down with a thud, "Your Majesty, please be wise! I am innocent! It was all Wang Sanlang who instructed me!"

Emperor: If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!

"You're talking nonsense! You were the one who took advantage of my third brother!"

Wang Shi finally came to her senses and fiercely retorted to the prince consort, who was not to be outdone. "You're the one talking nonsense! What have I used to take advantage of Wang Sanlang? Are you afraid that Chuanwen will gain power? Are you afraid that Chuanwen will be stripped of his title? Is it you?!"

The prince consort practically pointed his finger at Lady Wang and questioned her, leaving her speechless.
