Chapter 28
The crowd was silent for two seconds, and then suddenly all of them shouted excitedly.
"Well done! The Third Young Master is already disabled but still came to propose marriage. Isn't this obviously to harm the good girl?"
"What a bad idea! In order to hide the fact that the Third Young Master is inhumane, he actually wants the girl to cover it up for her whole life! What a vicious idea!"
"Such a person should be beaten! What Shangshu Mansion? I think it's a wolf's den!"
"He is disabled but still wants to harm other girls. He is worse than an animal! Bah!"
Liu Qinglian and Zheng Shaoling were helped up by the servants. They were covered in bruises and were scolded by the onlookers. Some even threw vegetable leaves at them.
They had never been so embarrassed in their lives.
The news of Zheng Shaoling being deposed has been widely circulated in recent days. No one knows whether it is true or false, real or fake.
When the Shangshu Mansion brought a lot of betrothal gifts to the Marquis Mansion, everyone guessed that the Shangshu Mansion wanted to use the wedding to break the rumors.
If the Marquis Mansion recognized the marriage, the rumors would be self-defeating.
But now, the mistress of the Shangshu Mansion and the third young master were beaten up so badly.
Ye Mingche even directly pointed out the fact that Zheng Shaoling had been deposed.
This time, she could foresee that the Shangshu Mansion would become the biggest laughing stock in the imperial city.
Liu Qinglian's heart was filled with tremendous hatred.
Obviously, it should be Ye Mingche who was unlucky and should be deposed.
It was her son who saved Ye Mingche.
Ye Mingche was not only ungrateful, but also ungrateful. He
also tolerated that jerk!
After so many years, he still looked so high and mighty, and today he even dared to hit her!
She will get back today's humiliation a hundredfold and a thousandfold!
Gu Jingchen wrote in the study all night.
What Ye Jingyue said was right, the Fifth Prince was not really killed by the Fifth Prince.
The Fifth Prince actually turned the tide.
He sent people to inquire about the news that a secret room was found in the Fifth Prince's mansion. There were various torture instruments in the secret room. After inspection, these torture instruments were used to torture women.
According to the dried bloodstains left in the secret room, it was initially calculated that at least twenty women were persecuted here.
The secret room in the Fifth Prince's mansion must be related to the Fifth Prince.
But the emperor sent an expert to investigate, and the result of the investigation showed that the culprit was actually the Fifth Prince's wife!
The secret room was built by the Fifth Prince's wife because she had a quirk and liked to torture women to get the pleasure of torturing people.
There was also a secret compartment in the Fifth Prince's wife's room, which recorded in detail the list and record of women tortured to death by the Fifth Prince's wife in the past three years.
After verification, the notes were indeed from the Fifth Prince's wife.
The reason why the Fifth Prince suffered was because Huang Gou had been investigating the case of missing girls in the imperial city.
A notebook was also found at Huang Gou's residence. It was Huang Gou's notes. The notes recorded the traces of the missing women in the imperial city in recent years. The notes clearly recorded that in the past six months, he traced the traces of those women to the Fifth Prince's mansion.
He initially suspected the Fifth Prince.
But because the other party was a prince, he did not dare to act rashly, so he had been secretly following the fifth prince for the past six months.
In the end, he found that the fifth prince had accurate alibis when those women disappeared.
Once or twice was accidental, but it happened more than three times in half a year, and he finally dispelled his suspicion of the fifth prince.
And he was still holding his hand. He believed in the fifth prince, and he decided to find the fifth prince and tell the other party the truth, so that the fifth prince could help him...
When the notes were recorded to this point, it was exactly the night when the fifth prince had an accident.
The reason why the fifth prince suffered was because he was shocked after reading the content of the yellow dog's investigation. When he learned that the innocent girl was suffering at this moment, he could not wait to rescue her.
When he took the yellow dog into the secret room, there was indeed a girl tied up in the secret room.
He was about to save the other party, but the other party suddenly shouted "Help".
Then a master rushed in from the dark, and his swordsmanship was so fierce that he killed the yellow dog on the spot and destroyed the eyes of the fifth prince.
The people sent by His Majesty to investigate found that the traces left in the house actually belonged to the Tianji swordsmanship!
No wonder the yellow dog, who was ranked thirteenth on the master list, was killed.
So the final conclusion is that the fifth prince's wife has an extreme and dark personality, and enjoys torturing those young and beautiful women.
Unfortunately, the woman she kidnapped this time was the granddaughter of the old man Tianji.
The fifth prince happened to go to save people, and the other party thought that the fifth prince was the culprit, and directly killed the fifth prince and the yellow dog!
The Tianji Sect is mysterious and powerful. There are no more than five people in a sect, and each of them is a top-notch master. You can't find them even if you want to.
In the end, His Majesty vented all his anger on the Fifth Prince's wife.
He gave the Fifth Prince's wife a cup of poisoned wine on the spot, and she died of a perforated stomach.
But this matter was related to the Fifth Prince and the royal family after all, so it could only be concluded secretly.
A few days later, it was announced that the Fifth Prince's wife died suddenly due to illness.
When Gu Jingchen saw this result, he was convinced!
Gu Jingchen was sure that from the time he took Ye Jingyue out of the secret room to the time when the Fifth Prince's affairs were exposed, the Fifth Prince had no time to conspire with the Fifth Prince's wife. It can
only be said that the Fifth Prince was very far-sighted and had even thought of a way out in case this matter was discovered.
The Fifth Prince was too scheming.
Gu Jingchen wrote slowly with the pen in his hand. After a long time, he finally put the pen down.
His rice paper was filled with a word.
Clean.
His characters were strong and powerful, like a swimming dragon.
Every stroke seemed to break free from the restraint of the paper and break through the skin.
Zhou Wei suddenly came to find him.
"Jingchen, go to the Marquis' Mansion quickly."
"What's wrong?"
Zhou Wei: "Today, the gongs and drums of the Shangshu Mansion went to the Hou Mansion to propose marriage. I heard that they proposed marriage for Zheng Shaoling."
Zhou Wei was Gu Jingchen's subordinate. He was the one who handled the aftermath of the assassination that day. He knew exactly how Zheng Shaoling's injuries were.
Zheng Shaoling no longer had male characteristics, how could he marry
a wife? Isn't this harming the girl?
The betrothal gifts were sent to the Hou Mansion by the gongs and drums.
The daughters in the Hou Mansion are all the daughters of Gu Jingchen's aunt.
Gu Jingchen's face changed, and he went to the Hou Mansion at full speed.
He probably guessed who the Shangshu Mansion was seeking to marry. As
soon as he arrived at the Hou Mansion, he saw the Hou Mansion's servants throwing Liu Qinglian and her son out with bruised faces.
And what Ye Mingche said.
Liu Qinglian and her son fled in panic.
Gu Jingchen stepped forward and asked Ye Mingche: "What's going on?"
Ye Mingche sneered.
"Zheng Shaoling actually dared to propose to Yue'er. He is not a man anymore. Isn't he a complete bastard? My mother and I were so angry that we beat them up."
Gu Jingchen breathed a sigh of relief and patted Ye Mingche on the shoulder.
"Well done, cousin Yue'er is your biological sister, you should protect her."
