"Ma'am, you and I have never done anything shameful. How could I be her father?"
Ruan Han was going crazy. "You can't drag me down just to save that man."
"I…"
"That's enough."
Ning Yuan, who was standing by, could no longer bear to listen. "Wei Sicheng, there's no point in letting them argue like this. Ruan Han engaged in corruption and used Ruan Hezhu for his own personal gain. This is a fact."
"It is true that Lady Ning An had an affair with someone and gave birth to Ruan Hezhu. As for who the biological father is, it shouldn't be that important."
"Ruan Hezhu is still the future Crown Prince Consort of Prince Chen's Mansion."
Although Wei Sicheng was dissatisfied with Ning Yuan, he was right. It was really meaningless to worry about who Ruan Hezhu's biological father was.
And judging from Yu Sanniang's attitude, she would not confess, and Ruan Han knew nothing.
If he continued to dig deep into the matter, he would inevitably offend people he shouldn't offend.
"Detain Ruan Han and Lady Ning Anbo first. I will report this to His Majesty and then make a ruling."
The Dali Temple Minister is not here, so this matter can only be decided by the Emperor, not to mention that it concerns Prince Chen.
Mrs. Ruan and Ruan Hezhu asked them to leave the Dali Temple.
Although the Dali Temple did not hold public trials, everything was revealed.
It didn't take long for the news to spread that Ruan Hezhu was the illegitimate daughter of Lady Ning'an.
Everyone was speculating about who Ruan Hezhu's biological father was. Some people thought it was Ruan Han, and he denied it in order to shirk responsibility.
But some people think that Yu Sanniang is so beautiful that she would not look down on Ruan Han, and the man who can make Yu Sanniang have an affair must be a handsome man.
Because Ning Anbo was ugly, Yu Sanniang married him for power, so the person she was having an affair with must be someone who didn't have much power but was good-looking.
There were many different opinions and rumors spreading in the capital.
Naturally, all of this reached Jiang Weiyan's ears when he learned that Yu Sanniang was imprisoned.
He was so anxious that he didn't care about the official business at hand and wanted to go to the Dali Temple to find out the situation.
As soon as he rushed out of the room, he saw Su Wu standing there, looking at him gently.
"Husband, when you're done, I just made some porridge and wanted to bring it in for you, but I didn't want to disturb you."
"You...you have been waiting here." Jiang Weiyan was a little afraid to look her in the eyes.
"I have something urgent to do and need to go out."
Having said that, he wanted to leave.
Seeing this, Su Wu reached out and grabbed him, and said coquettishly, "What's the hurry? I want you to accompany me today."
In the past, as long as she said so, no matter what happened, Jiang Weiyan would turn it down and just stay at home with her.
But at the moment, Jiang Weiyan was so preoccupied with worrying about Yu Sanniang that he had no time to care about her feelings.
He reached out and held Su Wu in his arms, "Be good, Prince Chen has something to do and can't delay you. I'll accompany you when I come back."
After saying that, he left without giving Su Wu a chance to speak.
Looking at his hurried back, the tenderness in Su Wu's eyes gradually faded and turned cold.
How could she not know what he was going to do when he went out?
Mrs. Ruan knew about this because she was the one who told her and lured her step by step to expose her husband.
Mrs. Ruan was braver than her. She knew that her husband was Ruan Hezhu's biological father, but she did not dare to expose him.
Everyone envied her for having a good husband, and she herself was immersed in this beautiful fantasy and couldn't bear to tear off this false mask.
But she was unwilling to let Yu Sanniang and Ruan Hezhu go, so she could only let Mrs. Ruan expose it all.
She was also gambling, gambling that Jiang Weiyan was reluctant to give up his wealth and fame and dared not admit it.
Ruan Han and Yu Sanniang were responsible for all the infamy.
But what she didn't expect was that Ruan Han had a trick up his sleeve and didn't kill his own daughters, so she couldn't execute them.
"Mother."
Jiang Qianxue's voice brought her back to her senses, and she turned around and returned to her kind look.
"Where have you been? Why are you sweating so much?"
"Let's go out and play, Mom. Do you know what big thing happened today?" Jiang Qianxue said excitedly.
"Then Ruan Hezhu is the illegitimate daughter of Lady Ning An."
Su Wu wiped her sweaty hand, paused slightly, and then pretended to be calm and spoke.
"Mom just heard about it too. It's really surprising."
"Let that Ruan Hezhu be so cocky, thinking she's the Crown Prince's Consort, but in the end, it was all in vain. I can't believe she could even enter Prince Chen's Mansion with her status. She deserves it."
"You hate Ruan Hezhu so much because of Luo Luo, right?"
Su Wu wiped the sweat off her face and pulled her into the house.
Jiang Qianxue sat down and denied, "Not only that, I think Ruan Hezhu is also very annoying."
"Really?" This surprised Su Wu. Jiang Qianxue was timid and always kind to others. He had never heard that she hated anyone.
Moreover, she and Ruan Hezhu had never gotten along with each other, probably because of their blood relationship.
"I really didn't expect that Lady Ning An, who looked so gentle, would actually do such a thing."
"Yeah, who would have thought that it shows that the couple is harmonious, but no one knows what the other party is doing behind the scenes."
Su Wu sighed, "There's so much falsehood between husband and wife, what's real?"
"Mom." Jiang Qianxue snuggled in her arms and said coquettishly, "You and Dad are the couple that everyone in the capital envied. Dad's kindness to you is obvious to everyone. In the future, I want to find a man as good as Dad."
"Yes, your father is really good." Su Wu smiled bitterly. If only he could hide it better and let her live in this lie for the rest of her life.
But she happened to find out. Now, she feels that Jiang Weiyan is extremely hypocritical. Sometimes she doesn't know how to face him.
Now not only he is insincere, but I am also fake.
She didn't know whether things would get better after Yu Sanniang disappeared.
"Mom, why are you crying?" Jiang Qianxue looked up and looked at Su Wu.
"Have you cried?" Su Wu reached out to wipe her tears, only to find that her face was covered with tears, which slid down her cheeks and onto Jiang Qianxue's face.
"It's okay, Mom is happy. Meeting your father is the happiest thing in Mom's life."
"Oh, mother, you are so corny."
Jiang Qianxue is relatively simple-minded, and she believes all the lies Su Wu tells.
Su Wu wiped away her tears and hugged her daughter tightly, wanting to feel the warmth from her body.
"Qianxue, having you is the luckiest thing for me. No matter what happens, I will protect you."
