The busy streets were filled with the sound of talking.
"Have you heard that the Prince of Xiao still has a first wife, and I heard that she gave birth to a son."
"How come I haven't heard that they've already divorced, and he doesn't even want his son."
"Tsk tsk, how could there be such a cruel father."
"Why not? He is. And his biological mother, Wang Shi, was the most trusted maid of Princess Cui. She was worried that she, a widow, would have a hard life, so she took her back to the palace. But what happened? Wang Shi took advantage of Princess Cui's death in childbirth and actually replaced the real prince."
"He's not the crown prince now, but he's even more powerful than the crown prince. Your Majesty, you're so lucky."
"Oh, what good fortune? He just married Princess Yun Duo, so the Emperor had to give Achang Kingdom some face. Those who don't know the truth are still praising him. It's ridiculous."
…
After listening to it, Lin Yue found that many people suddenly understood and their attitude towards Wang Huaiqing was no longer as respectful as before.
At this moment, a group of officials from the yamen walked by in the street in a hurry, saying that someone from Prince Xiao's mansion had died.
Xiao Jingyun walked up and pulled one over to ask, only to find out that all the confidants around Princess Yun Duo had been killed.
He looked at Lin Yue and said, "He has committed murder. Now is the best time to test him."
Lin Yueshen agreed with this, and the two of them hurried to Prince Xiao's mansion.
I met Wang Huaiqing at the gate of the mansion. I don't know what he had done, but he looked very satisfied.
But there was a distinct bluish-gray tint in his eyes, which was quite strange.
Lin Yue didn't wait for him to react, she stepped forward and slapped him in the face, saying, "You beast, you actually want to kill me and the prince."
Wang Huaiqing was stunned. When he came to his senses, he realized it was Lin Yue.
Xiao Jingyun was standing beside him, looking at him with a frown, as if he would take action immediately if he dared to move.
Wang Huaiqing suppressed his anger and said, "I don't understand what Princess Ding is talking about."
Lin Yue attacked again, slapping him twice in the face, then kicking him hard, and roared, "You don't understand, why are you pretending to be with me?"
"You were the one who set the fire in the palace, nearly burning me and the prince to death. Did you think no one saw it?"
Wang Huaiqing said with a guilty conscience, "I know that Mother doesn't like me, but I've already left Prince Ding's Mansion. Please don't speak nonsense."
The people gathered around all stuck their heads out and looked in this direction with puzzled expressions.
Lin Yue continued, "Bah! I don't like you. Don't you know why I don't like you?"
"When your father was away from the capital, you tried to punish me repeatedly. If I hadn't been staying in the palace and seeking the Queen Mother's protection, I wouldn't have been able to wait for your father to return."
"Not to mention now, you've set up your own family, thinking you can run rampant just because you married a princess. I'm telling you, Wang Huaiqing, we at Dingwang Mansion owe you nothing. The next time you dare to do something small, like pouring oil and setting fire to our place in the middle of the night, I'll go straight to the palace and beg the emperor to make a decision!"
The people around were talking about Wang Huaiqing. Someone suddenly said, "I remember now. Princess Ding had indeed been living in the palace. I didn't expect she was afraid that this fake stepson would harm her."
"Wang Huaiqing left the capital as soon as his identity was revealed, and then he married the princess. If he wasn't cunning and had planned this all along, how could he have escaped the royal family's pursuit?"
"That's right. And the palace caught fire the night before last. I saw it with my own eyes. The fire was really big. I heard it was caused by pouring oil."
"Oh my god, he's so cruel! No wonder Princess Ding was so angry that she came to our house in person."
Wang Huaiqing's face looked particularly ugly, with a strange red light in his eyes.
Lin Yue was not willing to give him the chance to lash out. She turned around and hugged Xiao Jingyun, performing a heart-wrenching show on the spot.
"Your Majesty, I have finally waited for you to return. During the years you were away, I nearly died in the palace..."
"Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu... Wang Huaiqing is not a good person. You must not be soft-hearted towards him just because of the father-son relationship we once had. Think about it, he can even abandon his own flesh and blood and his original wife. How can he be a good person?"
"If he dares to set fire to us, he will have committed the crime of treason and murdering his adoptive father."
"Don't let him go. You must make him pay for his crime with blood!"
“Wuwuwuwuwu…”
The people around were infected and took the initiative to move closer, and their eyes showed disgust towards Wang Huaiqing.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Wang Huaiqing knelt down in front of Xiao Jingyun and Lin Yue with a plop.
"I have never been disrespectful to my mother. I hope my father will understand. As for the arson, it is completely false. If my son is truly so heartless, God will surely not forgive him."
Lin Yue hurriedly shouted, "You said this yourself, so you swear to heaven now that if you harbor murderous intentions towards me and the prince, you will be struck by five thunderbolts and die a miserable death!"
Wang Huaiqing looked at the aggressive Lin Yue and finally understood why she came.
She was worried that he would kill them, so she was scared and couldn't sit still.
Haha, she actually felt scared too.
It's just a vow, how can it come true?
Wang Huaiqing immediately swore, "I, Wang Huaiqing, swear here that if I ever harbor any ill will towards my adoptive parents, Prince Ding and Princess Ding, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."
"In this way, Mother will be satisfied."
Lin Yue said, "Why should I be satisfied? You've frightened me so much that I can't sleep at night. Don't think you can clear yourself of the arson just like this. Once we find the evidence, you'll still be dead."
