Dad? Mom?
Everyone in the yard was startled and couldn't hide the surprise on their faces.
"This... these Bai family's children are all bastards of the prince consort?"
"Isn't it Bai who's cheating? Are the two of them already colluding with each other?"
"Oh my God! He actually gave birth to three evil children without telling the princess!"
When Wei Jiaojiao heard this, she was stimulated and yelled:
"I'm not a bastard!"
"My mother didn't cheat on me!"
"My mother didn't cheat on me!"
She turned to Yuan Zhao again and shouted, "It's all your fault! It's all because of you, you evil woman!"
"My parents have been together for a long time. If you hadn't interfered, they would have been a loving couple!"
"My mother should be the mistress of the Wei Mansion!"
"You stole my mother's husband! You stole my father!"
"You evil woman!"
"You deserve to die!"
…
No matter how blessed Wei Jiaojiao is by God, she is still just a seven or eight-year-old child.
He was obviously confused in the face of such a big event and said whatever he wanted.
Yuan Zhao stood there, listening to her cursing at him, feeling swayed.
"We've been together for a long time..."
"We've been together for a long time..."
She just repeated this sentence and stood there as if struck by lightning.
Everyone looked at each other.
"Bai Ruyue's children all have the surname Wei... Is this really a coincidence?"
"I've heard that Wei Tianci has a lot of Wei Shaoqing's demeanor. Could it be..."
"I thought the princess was kind enough to take them in, and that Bai was taking the opportunity to seduce the prince consort... but it turns out they've been secretly colluding for a long time?"
"Oh right! Bai Ruyue is also from Yangzhou. The prince consort was working in Yangzhou before. Was it at that time..."
No one has said everything yet, everyone is just guessing.
At this time, the wife of the Marquis of Lin'an, who had been silent since arriving at the side courtyard, stood up and spoke under the gazes of everyone:
"Years ago, when I was in Yangzhou, there was a theft at the Wei Mansion in Yangzhou. Everything in the warehouse disappeared. Most of the items were gifts from the capital to the princess, as well as tributes from the fiefdom..."
No one knew why the wife of the Marquis of Lin'an had come out to join in the fun, but when they heard that the talk was about the Wei Mansion in Yangzhou, they all pricked up their ears to listen.
The wife of the Marquis of Lin'an looked at Yuan Zhao with complicated eyes.
The reason why she brought the Jiang family here early today was not entirely because of Wei Wanxue.
Because someone handed her a letter last night.
There was only one sentence in the letter: Be a witness in Yangzhou and get rid of Wei Wanxue.
At that time, the Marquis' wife had no idea what this meant, nor did she know who had delivered the letter.
So I came here early this morning to find out.
After arriving, I first watched a big show at the door, then Wei Wanxue's scandal, and now the scandal of the prince consort.
She never understood what the phrase "Yangzhou witness" meant.
It was not until someone mentioned "Yangzhou" just now that she suddenly understood.
Now she probably understood that this letter might have been handed to her by the princess...
So this big show today was all arranged by the princess?
The Marquis's wife had such speculations in her mind, and her mind was working quickly. Since she and Yuan Zhao were now on the same front, she had to seize the opportunity!
Anyway, the Lin'an Marquis Mansion can no longer accommodate Wei Wanxue, a big Buddha.
If we can take the opportunity to save face in front of Yuan Zhao, it will not be bad for the Lin'an Marquis Mansion.
So she cleared her throat and continued:
"Later, the government officials found stolen goods at Madam Bai's house. There were more than a dozen boxes of gold, silver, and treasures. After checking them one by one, they all turned out to be the princess's belongings. At the time, they thought they were stolen..."
Everyone realized that... this was most likely because Wei Shaoqing had taken the princess's property to support other women!
"When I attend banquets in Yangzhou, I often see Madam Bai there. She wears precious jewels and jewelry, and wears clothes made of the finest fabrics."
"At that time, I heard from the ladies in Yangzhou that because Madam Bai's eldest son, Wei Tianci, was a genius and often praised by the prince consort, Madam Bai was also very successful in Yangzhou."
"But some people have always been puzzled. They have never seen Mrs. Bai's husband. She always boasts about how good her husband is to her, but he never shows up..."
After saying this, Lady Lin'an took a step back.
The rest is self-explanatory.
The husband who has never appeared is Wei Shaoqing, who is indeed not allowed to be seen by others.
Upon hearing this, Bai Ruyue pointed at the wife of the Marquis of Lin'an and said, "You're talking nonsense! This is a frame-up! A false accusation!"
But her rebuttal was not credible at all.
She and Wei Shaoqing were caught in an affair, her children called Wei Shaoqing "Daddy", all of her children had the surname Wei, and Wei Tianci looked almost identical to Wei Shaoqing...
These facts are all before our eyes, and when put together they form irrefutable evidence.
"But I remember... that young man named Wei Tianci was a year or two older than Her Royal Highness the Princess's eldest son..."
A group of people looked at Yuan Zhao with sympathy in their eyes.
this……
Back then, everyone said that the princess and her husband were a perfect couple and were very loving to each other.
So the love of more than ten years was all fake?
Some people also looked at Yuan Cheng, wondering what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would do?
Wei Shaoqing closed his eyes in despair, but still did not give up.
He knelt on the ground and moved forward, trying to grab Yuan Zhao's skirt.
As long as he begs Yuan Zhao, Yuan Zhao will be soft-hearted and will definitely forgive him!
Feeling his approach, Yuan Zhao retreated repeatedly, her face full of tears, and she shouted angrily:
“Don’t touch me!!”
She really dislikes it being dirty.
Wei Shaoqing stood there in a daze. Yuan Zhao looked down at him, covering his face with his hands, and asked in despair:
"Is it all true?"
"No! No! Zhao'er, listen to me! We've been married for over ten years, trust me!"
Yuan Zhao glanced at him, his eyes full of sadness.
This was what she had wanted to ask him a few months ago.
She already knew the answer.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Wei Shaoqing's first reaction was still denial.
He really dares to do it but not to take responsibility for it.
She took a step back and fell straight down.
"Zhao Zhao!"
"Your Highness!"
"Mother!"
Huo Yan, Yuan Cheng and the Shen brothers moved at the same time, and Yuan Cheng and Huo Yan caught her at the same time.
Huo Yan withdrew his hand and just stood aside.
The Shen family also gathered around.
Yuan Cheng picked up Yuan Zhao and looked down at Wei Shaoqing who was kneeling on the ground, with a sinister look in his eyes that could not be concealed:
"Wei Shaoqing, you have deceived the emperor, committed treason, and disrespected the royal family. You shall be punished with thirty strokes of the cane!"
"The sister of Wei Shaoqing has violated the rules and shown great disrespect. She shall be punished with thirty strokes of the cane."
After saying that, he strode away holding Yuan Zhao in his arms.
The Shen brothers followed closely behind, Shen Yunzhou pulled Yuan Nan'an up, and picked up Yuan Zhizhi.
Shen Yifeng glanced at Wei Shaoqing coldly, flicked his sleeves, and finally said:
"Master Wei, take care of yourself. I'll see you in court tomorrow."
