Chapter 193 Xie Yao is not the biological daughter of Earl Wenchang?

Xie Mingan's face turned cold: "Jiang Si, what do you mean by this?"

Jiang Si took advantage of the situation and winked at him again.

Xie Mingan frowned and could only suppress his inner uneasiness.

Du Yutang's eyes darkened, and he asked Jiang Si again: "Didn't you kill Qiu Shui in the street?"

Jiang Si: "Your Excellency, Qiu Shui is Mr. Xu's adopted daughter, but in reality, she was a spy that the master had me plant next to the master's wife. It was thanks to her that the master knew the master's wife's likes and dislikes, and thus won her heart..."

"The reason I killed her in the street was because my uncle was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he asked me to silence her."

Xie Mingan was stunned, and his face suddenly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Jiang Si, this idiot, promised to just confess a few unimportant things and fool the court.

He immediately roared, "My Lord, please understand! It was clearly this wicked slave who coveted Qiu Shui's beauty, tried to forcefully seize her, and then, after failing to do so, had an argument with Qiu Shui and killed her. Now he's trying to put the blame on me!"

Jiang Si quickly said, "I'm not lying. When Qiu Shui sold herself, it was the uncle who bought her. In order to place her in the Xu family's villa, the uncle destroyed her indenture on the surface, but in fact, he let me keep a copy. It's under the fifth brick under the bed in my house."

"Xie Mingan's name is clearly written on it."

Du Yutang had already ordered someone to fetch the indenture. He looked through it and presented it to the eldest princess.

Seeing the old indenture, Xie Mingan's face became even uglier. He didn't expect that after he was only locked up in jail for one night, the officials came to the mansion to search for evidence.

"You're talking nonsense! You forged a personal indenture to frame Benbo!"

Du Yutang: "How could he, a security guard, forge documents?"

The eldest princess stared at Xie Mingan with disgust: "Such a sinister, cunning and heartless person is worthy of being a father and a husband?"

Xu Susu's eyes flushed red as she bowed deeply. "Xie Ming'an bribed my maid to obtain my Xu family's dowry and even ordered others to kill me. May I ask, sir, can't I divorce him?"

After hearing what Jiang Si and Xu Susu said, the onlookers looked at Xie Mingan with contempt.

"The person who has been my bedside for so many years turned out to be all the result of Marquis Wenchang's scheme. Madam Wenchang is truly pitiful."

"Marquis Wenchang could order his men to silence the maidservant who knew about the incident. If Madam Wenchang continues to live with him, who knows if he will do something even more cruel and insane?"

"Such a person who is sweet-mouthed but treacherous, and only interested in profit, is he worthy of being an official? He should be arrested and imprisoned!"

These people originally thought that it was against etiquette for Xu Susu, as a wife, to sue her husband and request a divorce.

But now, knowing the inside story of Xie Mingan's proposal to Xu Susu, they changed their tune and took the initiative to speak for Xu Susu.

Some people even spat at Xie Mingan.

Lian Xie Yan stared at his father coldly in the crowd.

Xie Yan has always not cared about his sister's attitude towards their father. He has his own ideas and he always stands on his sister's side no matter what.

But after knowing what Xie Mingan had done, he understood why his mother wanted to divorce this man and why his sister wanted to ruin his reputation.

Xie Mingan was furious when he heard the discussions around him.

Jiang Si leaned over to him and whispered in his ear, "Master, I have no choice but to explain something. Otherwise, both you and I will be finished. You should just divorce your wife. That way, at least—"

"idiot!"

Xie Mingan cursed angrily, then he understood what Jiang Si meant.

It turned out that this loser was completely afraid of Xu and Xie Yao, so he pushed the murder of Qiu Shui onto himself, and his crime was reduced.

But how could Xie Mingan be willing to divorce! It was obvious that Xu Susu would die of poisoning in a few months, and by then, all the dowry of the Xu family would be his!

Du Yutang also heard the voices of the people in the hall, and he had already made up his mind.

"Xie Ming'an, you previously slapped Madam Gaoming and embezzled your wife's dowry. This is already despicable. Now Madam Xu is accusing you of marrying her out of personal gain. The evidence is irrefutable. I should sentence you and Madam Xu to a divorce."

The eldest princess nodded and was about to finalize the matter: "From today on, Xu and Xie Ming'an will divorce."

"No, I will never divorce!"

Xie Mingan roared and his eyes darkened.

"Those calculations were just my means of pursuing Xu. I'm not wrong, it's Xu who's wrong! I won't divorce you, I'm going to divorce Xu!"

Du Yutang frowned. "Mr. Wenchang is roaring in court. Is he crazy? Madam Xu gave birth to your children and took care of the household. What's wrong with that? You are so calculating. Everything you do is wrong. And you still want to divorce her?"

Xie Mingan and Xu Susu looked at each other, and slowly revealed a hideous and twisted smile.

Since they were forcing him like this, he could only reveal one of his cards.

"Xu, you got pregnant before you were even married, you were unfaithful to your husband, and you gave birth to Xie Yao, a bastard. I've endured this for so many years, and have been cuckolded for so long. What's wrong with using some of your dowry? You still have the nerve to sue me?"

Xie Ming'an turned around, pointed at Xie Yao, and roared at the people.

"Xie Yao is not my biological daughter at all. She is the child of Xu's affair with another man!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a dead silence inside and outside the court!

The officers widened their eyes in shock, suspecting they had heard wrongly.

Even Du Yutang and the eldest princess frowned.

The people reacted and burst into even louder discussions.

"What? Xie Yao isn't Earl Wenchang's biological daughter?"

"No man would joke about being cuckolded! If this were true, even if I were the Earl of Wenchang, I wouldn't tolerate it!"

"I heard that Madam Xu gave birth to a child before being married to Marquis Wenchang. You see, Marquis Wenchang and Xie Yao don't look alike at all."

"No wonder the Duke of Wenchang treated Princess Jingbei so badly, willing to send his eight or nine-year-old legitimate daughter to the Strong Women Camp. It turns out the princess isn't his biological daughter at all..."

After hearing Xie Mingan's words, Xie Yao felt no emotion at all.

She immediately turned around and glanced at Bai Mi.

As she expected, after Xie Mingan found out that the divorce was a foregone conclusion, he wanted to throw dirty water on his mother and turn the divorce into a divorce.

And she was well prepared.

Bai Mi nodded and disappeared with a "whoosh".

Xie Yao faced the various gazes around her, her eyes cool and calm, and she first looked at her mother Xu Susu.

She never told her mother about her life experience.

Firstly, there was no concrete evidence and the timing was not right; secondly, she couldn't speak.

But today, my mother still wants to know.

Xu Susu was stunned for a moment, then recovered and sneered, "Xie Mingan, you cheated on yourself. I've finally opened my eyes today. You accused me of having an affair, but where's your evidence?"

Xie Mingan said gloomily, "Your former dowry nanny, Mrs. Su, said Xie Yao is not my biological daughter. She said so herself. Although she is dead, she left a suicide note in my study!"

"Uncle, for the sake of the remaining dowry from the Xu family, he didn't hesitate to throw dirty water on Mother. He really worked hard." Xie Yao stood up, her eyes deep. "Why don't you tell me now that the suicide note was forged?"

Xu Susu: "Madam Su was beaten to death because you accused her of stealing from the Bo Mansion. You were forced to confess under duress. What kind of evidence is that?"

Xie Mingan opened his mouth and found that others were looking at him with a little more suspicion.

His eyes were red as he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Then let's do a blood test! I want to do a blood test with Xie Yao to prove that Xu had an affair with someone else!"

"Xie Ming'an, are you worthy enough to harm the body of my princess?"

A cold voice suddenly sounded.

The people only felt a gust of cold wind, and when they turned around, they saw the carriage of Prince Jingbei's Mansion stopped.

Suddenly, the people retreated urgently.

The prince was wearing a black python robe and had a stern expression on his face. He was pushed in by the guards.

Bai Mi galloped all the way and appeared on horseback beside the carriage, with a person sitting on the horse.

He jumped off his horse and threw the man down with a thud.

Old Madam Xie frantically grabbed her crutches and finally managed to stand firmly.

What Xie Mingan didn't realize was that when Bai Mi appeared, Jiang Si beside him suddenly started to shiver as if he had seen some monster, and was shaking with fear all over.

Madam Xie's face was pale. She walked unsteadily to the center of the court and said:

"No need for a blood test..."
