Chapter 93: Because she herself is the best evidence of her father's crime

Just when the atmosphere was stirred to a climax, a figure walked out gracefully.

The girl has cloud-like hair and a face as rosy as a peach. Her waist-length skirt is cyan and gold, flowing like water as she walks with lotus steps.

Holding a silk fan in one hand and lifting her skirt with the other, she gracefully stepped onto the steps in front of the mansion before turning to look at Wen Rufeng.

The misplaced posture made it look like Wen Rufeng was kneeling in front of her.

Her almond-shaped eyes curved. "Today is a good day for Big Brother and Sister-in-law. I waited and waited for you at the county government office, but you didn't show up, so I had to come here. I didn't expect to hear you forcing Mother to come out to see you. But from what I know, it's not that Mother doesn't want to see you, but that Mother has been bedridden for years, and she's afraid that her illness will pass on to you, so she stays indoors."

Everyone knew that Wei Si had been ill for many years and never attended any banquets or parties in Rongcheng. Even her wedding with Xie Jing was not a grand one.

When the people thought of this, they looked at each other in bewilderment.

Yes, Wei Si is so seriously ill, how can she arrange the marriage for Wen Rufeng?

They just seemed to have lost their minds!

Wen Xingluo continued in a soft voice, "I don't usually see you pay your respects to Mother, but today, with your wedding, you've created such a big fuss, even inviting the entire city to support you. Those who know, think you're being filial, but those who don't think you're taking revenge on Mother, deliberately ruining her reputation. Mother has been depressed for years, and her heart meridians have been damaged. If she's further stimulated... can you bear the charge of forcing her to death?"

Wen Rufeng was stunned.

Yes, my mother is so fragile. If she is pushed too hard, she might even be hanged to death with a white silk thread!

He still has to take the imperial examination. If he gets the reputation of forcing his mother to death, won't his imperial examination career be over?

He looked grim and glared at Wen Ruyun with resentment.

The second brother is also the same. What kind of idea did he come up with? It’s simply a trap for him!

Wen Ruyun stared at Wen Xingluo, slowly closing his folding fan, and said with a forced smile, "Everyone knows that the Zhenbei Palace has great influence in the southwest. Not to mention the miracle doctors, even the imperial physicians in the palace can be invited. How come it's been over a year, and mother's illness hasn't been cured yet?"

"Mother has a heart disease," Wen Xingluo retorted, "How can it be cured so easily?"

"I just don't understand," Wen Ruyun laughed loudly and said to the people around her, "She stays in the Zhenbei Palace, wearing gold and silver and eating delicious food. What kind of heartache could she have? Compared to us ordinary people who eat simple food, what can she be unhappy about as a princess?! I think she's just pretending!"

There are many people who hate the rich, and these words immediately aroused the approval of many people.

Wen Xingluo did not refute Wen Ruyun, but just glanced at the corner of the street.

After being looked at by her like this, the middle-aged woman standing on the street corner shuddered with fear and walked over with her head held high.

She was the midwife who delivered Wei Si. It was thanks to Lai Zhongliang's well-informedness that Wen Xingluo was able to find her in a remote village after so many years.

Following Wen Xingluo's instructions, midwife Li said loudly, "Second Young Master Wen, you can't say that! When I was in the county government office, delivering the Princess of Zhenbei, she was already suffering from depression. I still remember that after she became pregnant with her first child, she begged me to take her away, saying that she was forced into marriage by County Magistrate Wen. But the people should not fight against the officials, so how could I dare? I told County Magistrate Wen that she wanted to escape. Later, County Magistrate Wen tied her to the bed with chains for several months until she gave birth. Afterwards, she became pregnant two or three times in succession, and without exception, she was forced to give birth by County Magistrate Wen——"

After she said so much, she seemed to realize that she had said something wrong.

She slapped herself and said with an apologetic smile, "Oh, look at my mouth. On such a happy day, I actually said such unlucky things!"

The whole audience fell into an eerie silence.

The people had no idea that County Magistrate Wen and Princess Zhenbei had such a shameful past.

If Wei Si was forced to marry and have children, then it is understandable that she did not want to care about her ex-husband and children.

The women felt especially sympathetic towards Wei Si.

The people in the southwest are open-minded and enlightened, and women have a high status. They know that they are living people and they have the right to choose to have children or not, instead of being trapped in a high tower and forced to give birth to children one after another like animals!

Wen Qingsong's face turned pale and he glared at Li Wenpo fiercely.

Midwife Li shrank her neck in fear.

She doesn't want to get involved in muddy waters.

But the young lady of Zhenbei Palace found her. She sat in the yard and ordered her men to tie up all her sons and grandsons, threatening her that if she did not come forward to testify against Wen Qingsong, she would kill her entire family!

Li Wenpo had never seen such a cruel girl!

She looks soft and gentle like a rosy peach, but she does the things of a bandit!

She subconsciously looked towards the tall buildings in the distance.

Her entire family was imprisoned there. The young man in charge looked handsome and gentle, with a cinnabar mole between his eyebrows, but he was actually a pervert. He would often discuss things with her son, saying that he was recently studying the human heart and asked if her son could lend him a heart to study...

Li Wenpo wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and avoided Wen Qingsong's sight.

Wen Qingsong's eyes were bloodshot.

He couldn't stand the strange looks from the people around him, so he didn't dare to stay here any longer and turned around to leave.

But Wen Xingluo didn't give him a chance to escape.

Her eyes were red as she cried out helplessly, "Father, is it really as she said? Are we brothers and sisters really... born out of wedlock?!"

The girl's voice trembled and her body was shaky.

Xie Guanlan's eyes were filled with gloom.

A child born out of adultery...

An ugly name.

In the eyes of the world, the most filthy and humble origin.

No matter whether it is an emperor, a general, or a peddler, no one is willing to admit that he has this identity.

But she still said it.

She didn't care about the damage to her reputation. She set up this trap and was determined to seek justice for her mother.

Because she herself is the best evidence of her father's guilt.

An autumn wind blew in Chengdu.

Xie Guanlan stood calmly in the wind, blocking the cold wind for her.

The people made room for one another and looked at Wen Qingsong, who was standing alone in the middle of the space.

Wen Qingsong's face flushed red, his eyes filled with resentment. He sternly demanded, "What nonsense are you talking about?! Your mother went through three matchmakers, six betrothals, and eight sedan chairs to marry me, and she voluntarily gave birth to five children for me. How can that be considered me forcing her to do anything?"

He angrily scolded Li Wenpo again, "And you, a bitch who appeared out of nowhere, I have no grudge against you, why are you framing me?! Did the King of Zhenbei give you a favor so that you could frame me?! In the past, Si Si and I were very loving, how could you imprison me?!"

He took advantage of the fact that Wei Si was a solitary and depressed person who could not stand any stimulation and that it was impossible for her to come forward in person to clarify such a matter, so he made up stories without thinking.
