Chapter 10: False Accusation of Adultery

Wen Yingxue covered her neck and coughed twice, then found a girl in black clothes standing in front of her with a bloody dagger in her hand.

Looking at the big man lying on the ground, he was no longer breathing. There was a bloody wound on his back and blood was flowing out.

"Hey! Did the boss send you here?" Wen Yingxue asked.

The girl tilted her head: "Boss?"

Wen Yingxue asked again, "Did Nie Chubai send you here?"

The girl nodded. Wen Yingxue breathed a sigh of relief. "That's all right!" The boss sent someone to protect her, otherwise she would have died here today.

"My maid! Lady, please help save my maid!" Wen Yingxue suddenly thought of Ai Ye and said to the girl.

The girl's eyes lit up. No one had ever called her a heroine before.

"No problem!" After saying that, the girl rushed out like the wind.

Wen Yingxue stood up and looked at her torn clothes. Before she could figure out what to do, she heard noisy footsteps outside.

Then the door opened. Father Wen, Zhang's mother and daughter, Yang, and Wen Yuyan appeared at the door.

Wen Yingxue breathed a sigh of relief after just one glance. Fortunately, Zhang's mother and daughter knew that family disgrace should not be made public, so they only brought their own family members with them.

When Old Man Wen and the others looked into the room, they were shocked to see the horrific pinch marks on Wen Yingxue's neck and the dead man lying on the ground.

Aunt Yang immediately cried out in shock and covered her mouth. "Ah! Didn't they say that the Sixth Miss was having an affair? Why does it look so wrong? Oh! Master, look at the Sixth Miss's neck, it's so scary!"

Father Wen frowned and asked Wen Yingxue, "What's going on?"

Wen Yingxue's tears fell one by one. She covered her neck and sobbed, "I don't know either. Qinglian said my aunt was in trouble, so I came to see. Who knew that I would be dragged in here by this villain and strangled me! He wanted to kill me, Dad, I'm scared!"

Zhang said, "Don't tell me you're afraid that your affair will be exposed, so you're going to kill me to silence me!"

"Miss!" At this time, Ai Ye ran in. Wen Yingxue looked at her and found that she didn't have any serious injuries, but her clothes were a little messy. She breathed a sigh of relief.

"Shut up!" Old Man Wen scolded Zhang, then turned to look at Wen Yingxue.

"Come here! Send Miss Six to the front yard. Don't leave without my order." After saying that, he took his people away.

"Miss! Are you okay?" Ai Ye asked worriedly.

Wen Yingxue shook her head. Even a maid knew to care about her, but her father had no such intention at all.

After arriving at the front yard, the guests dispersed in a short while. Old Man Wen soon arrived with a large group of people. This time, Wen Rouqing and Wen Yuyan did not come along. After all, it was not convenient for two unmarried girls to overhear an affair.

As soon as they entered the door, Old Man Wen asked Wen Yingxue to kneel down.

Wen Yingxue stood straight and said, "I didn't do anything wrong, why should I kneel?"

Zhang slammed the table and shouted, "How dare you! You've done such a shameful thing! And you even dare to disobey your biological father?"

"Shameful things? Madam, what shameful things have I done?" Wen Yingxue looked directly at Zhang and asked.

"The evidence is conclusive, and you still want to deny it? Seeing that the matter is exposed, you kill people to silence them, isn't that right?" Zhang said aggressively.

Old Man Wen frowned and asked Wen Yingxue, "Are you really not having an affair with that person?"

"No."

"Since nothing happened, let's just let this matter go and no one should mention it!" said Old Man Wen.

The marriage between Wen Yingxue and Nie Chubai was granted by the emperor. If the scandal of Wen Yingxue were to be spread at this time, it would definitely implicate the entire Wen family. It would be better to cover it up and pretend that nothing had happened.

Zhang had long known that Old Man Wen would do this, and immediately said to him, "Master! You can't just believe everything she says. What if she's not a virgin anymore? What if General Nie finds out when they get married?"

Father Wen looked at Zhang and asked, "So what do you want to do?"

"Why don't we find a nanny to come and examine her body. If she is virgin, then let this matter go. If not, then we can only let her die suddenly, so as not to implicate the whole family." Zhang said, looking at Wen Yingxue with a vicious look.

We absolutely cannot do a body check. That nanny must be Zhang’s person, Wen Yingxue thought.

"This method is feasible. Go find Nanny." said Old Man Wen.

Zhang was delighted and nodded to the people below. Someone immediately left, and then Aunt Xu beside Zhang came over to pull Wen Yingxue.

"Sixth Miss, please go to the back room!"

Wen Yingxue pushed Aunt Xu away and said, "I won't examine my body. My virgin blood is still there. Who dares to say that I'm not a virgin?"

Zhang said, "Shougongsha can be forged. Just looking at this is not safe."

Wen Yingxue said to Old Man Wen, "Dad! I really didn't do that. The Emperor has already issued an edict granting me marriage. I left behind a handsome second-rank general to have an affair with someone else. I'm not stupid, how could I do such a thing?"

Father Wen also thought what Wen Yingxue said made sense. Zhang Shi saw this and quickly said, "It's better to test it just in case."

Father Wen said to Wen Yingxue, "Since you haven't done it, you don't have to worry about the physical examination."

Wen Yingxue had only met Old Man Wen a few times throughout her life, and he had no fatherly feelings for her. As long as Wen Yingxue's marriage was helpful to him, Old Man Wen was willing to be nice to her.

If Wen Yingxue really did something wrong, then he would let her die suddenly and save the Wen family. He didn't have that much time to waste here.

The physical examination nanny came soon, and together with Nanny Xu, she took Wen Yingxue to go for a physical examination.

"Let me go! I won't go!" Wen Yingxue struggled and regretted it in her heart. She was careless this time. She didn't expect Zhang to be so reckless. Seeing that she couldn't use her, she wanted to take her life directly.

Wen Yingxue struggled, and several people came to pull her away. When the hall was in chaos, a small hidden weapon flew over and stabbed into Aunt Xu's hand.

Nanny Xu screamed in pain and let go of Wen Yingxue.

"Lord Wen's house is so lively." Nie Chubai said, striding over to Wen Yingxue.

When the medical examiner saw Nie Chubai's cold gaze, she immediately shuddered and let go of Wen Yingxue's other arm.

"General Nie!" Old Man Wen immediately stood up and saluted. Nie Chubai's official position was higher than Old Man Wen's.

Nie Chubai ignored Old Man Wen and turned to Wen Yingxue. He looked at the purple pinch marks on Wen Yingxue's neck, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

He had never pinched the neck so hard before, but someone else did it first. It was really uncomfortable.

"Are you okay?" Nie Chubai asked gently.

Wen Yingxue glanced at Zhang, whose face was frozen, and then she moved closer to Nie Chubai and said, "Someone came to kill me today, but your men killed me instead. Madam falsely accused me of having an affair with him."

Nie Chubai narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang, and asked dangerously, "Really?"

Father Wen said, "Nothing serious, I just want to check Yingxue just in case."
