Chapter 43 You can plead guilty
Boom~
There was a loud noise in Pei's head.
Her face was pale. Not far away, the old wife of the Dingkang Marquis's Mansion was leaning on a servant and looked like she had fainted.
Lu Xinran: “…”
What is wrong with these people?
Or is it that the feng shui in the capital is bad, and living here for a long time will make you prone to dizziness?
She glanced in the direction of Marquis Dingkang's Mansion and her mind returned to the booklet in the system.
Now we just have to wait for Tang Quyan and Song Junyan's men to find Pei Xiuzhuo and bring him over. Well, if they can't find Pei Xiuzhuo, then they can find the servant beside him.
She was thinking happily in her heart, and the onlookers heard this series of thoughts and were also waiting for Pei Xiuzhuo and his servant to be brought over.
Only a quarter of an hour passed, and there was still no sign of anyone.
Half an hour later, the emperor helped the empress dowager to sit down at the table and chairs brought by the palace maids.
The sun is setting and the lights are coming on.
The red lanterns beside the waterside pavilion have lit up like a long dragon.
[Is Pei Xiuzhuo hiding out of fear of crime? Or does he think Qingye is tight-lipped and will not give him up no matter how he is interrogated? ]
[Forget it, forget it. I'll look at Qingye's past to see if I can find any clues.]
The evening breeze by the lake blew away the last bit of the alcohol. She didn't dare to look at Zhou Zhengya lying on the ground, and pulled Lu Xinlan a few steps to the side.
As soon as she moved, everyone around her moved their legs and feet.
Even the Emperor, the Empress Dowager and a few others, the tables and chairs beneath them were moved forward again and again.
[No wonder she was so enthusiastic. It turned out that Pei Xiuzhuo had promised her that he would take her as a concubine after he married Zhou Zhengya.]
Being able to rise from being a servant to becoming a half-master, this is the best way out for Qingye, right?
Lu Xinran looked at it and shook his head.
[It is better to be a poor man's wife than a rich man's concubine. How could she not understand such a simple truth? 】
[He and Zhou Zhengya didn't even have an engagement, but he tricked her into having sex with him. How could such a person be worthy of entrusting one's life to?]
Lu Xinran tried to pinch her wrist again, but the sound of hurried footsteps not far away interrupted her wild thoughts.
Pei Xiuzhuo was held in the middle by several guards with swords, and was walking towards them in a wolfish manner.
The servant behind him had not had time to change his clothes, and there was an obvious bloodstain on his chest.
Everything is very clear at this point.
The guards escorted Pei Xiuzhuo and the servant to Tang Quyan and Song Junyan. Lu Xinran hurriedly calculated the distance between them and found that they were a little far away, so he took two steps forward.
The Emperor, the Empress Dowager and the others: "..."
They had to move the chairs every time they made a move, and in Lu Xinran's eyes they really looked like fools!
Walking within ten steps, Lu Xinran hurriedly opened Pei Xiuzhuo's booklet and began to read it quickly.
[It’s him! ]
[He had originally planned to have his family go to Zhou's mansion to propose marriage after the Mid-Autumn Festival, but just as he had tricked Zhou Zhengya into giving her her body, Fang Suxin's scandal was exposed.]
[Having such an unscrupulous mother, her reputation was also affected. For him, she was no longer the most suitable candidate for a wife.]
[He had already changed his target, but Zhou Zhengya found out that she might be pregnant. She blocked him in the yard in the afternoon and asked him when he would come to her house to propose marriage.]
[He was hesitant to begin with, but before the dinner, Zhou Zhengya asked Qingye to interrogate him, so he just went all out?]
[But why would he do this? Even if she has a mother like Fang Suxin, she still has the Zhou family behind her? Wasn't it because of her family background that he chose Zhou Zhengya? ]
The confusion in her heart and her frown made the Queen Mother want to tell her the reason.
Her inner voice leaked out like a sieve, and everyone got to eat the big melons in the waterside pavilion.
The Zhou family is finished.
She didn't know, but Pei Xiuzhuo knew, and Zhou Zhengya knew too.
Tang Quyan had already sorted out the causes and consequences in his mind, but there was still one thing that he didn't understand.
Pei Xiuzhuo is already the legitimate son of a marquis. With such an identity, his future wife must be of good family background. Why would he be so calculating?
"Pei Xiuzhuo, do you plead guilty?"
Pei Xiuzhuo's body was shaking. He nodded subconsciously in a daze, with a look of dejection on his face.
"I agree."
"Zhuo'er!"
The old wife of Marquis Dingkang came quickly with a cane, her eyes filled with sorrow, and punched Pei Xiuzhuo as she came over.
"What nonsense are you talking about, kid? Why are you confessing your guilt? What does this girl from the Zhou family have to do with you?"
As long as they refuse to admit their guilt and drag it out until tonight, they will always find a chance to escape punishment.
When the time comes, all the blame will be put on the servant. He will leave the capital and go to the south for a while, and come back after the storm has passed. No one will say anything!
Pei Xiuzhuo's dead eyes gradually brightened up, and he grasped the old marquis's wife's shoulders with his big hands.
"Grandma, I..."
He wanted to ask if he really had a chance to get away with it?
Then he heard the voice that made him extremely hateful.
[Are you still trying to get away with it and put the blame on your servants? ]
[Does this mean that Lord Tang is a fool, or that the Emperor is a fool? Or do they think that the Dingkang Marquisate can cover up everything and make everyone act according to their wishes? ]
[Zhou Zhengya is so pitiful, with parents like that, and a guy like that who has a beastly heart.]
[To be honest, Pei Xiuzhuo's current situation is entirely due to Cao. Without her indulgence and doting, he would not have thought of inheriting the title and becoming a marquis.]
[He always compared himself with his elder brother. His elder brother married the eldest daughter of the Minister of Rites. He knew that as the youngest son, his wife would not be the eldest daughter of a noble family, so he planned to raise one himself.]
[Well, fortunately, fortunately, if Lu Xinlan had not been verbally engaged to the Fourth Prince, the person being raised would have become her. After all, cousins are easier to take advantage of.]
Lu Xinlan: “?!!”
What kind of horrible condition does she have?
Song Junyan glanced at the sisters expressionlessly, and was subconsciously satisfied. It was the Fourth Prince, not a pervert...
The old marquis' wife, Mrs. Cao, who was still pounding her fists, suddenly stopped in mid-air, her heart filled with confusion.
What did this girl just say? Is it all... her fault?
[He knew that his desire to marry Zhou Zhengya was beyond his reach, and both families would not agree, so he tried to coax her into giving her body to him.]
[I thought it was foolproof, but in the end, Fang Suxin got into trouble and Zhou Zhengya accidentally got pregnant.]
[He changed his target and wanted to kill people to silence them. How could he be so vicious! What a scumbag! ]
[With this kind of character, he still wants to be the Marquis of Dingkang? What will happen to the Marquisate if it is handed over to him! ]
[That's not right, his grandfather is still alive! His father is still the prince, he wants to be a marquis for at least a few decades, by then he will be hunched over and wrinkled, maybe even the parts are unusable, then he will really be an old marquis.]
Everyone: “…”
When you analyze the case, just focus on one thing. Why do you always carry private goods? And why is it so graphic?
How will they face the marquises, earls, and dukes in the future? If they accidentally let their eyes fall on the lower three roads, wouldn't they be mortal enemies?
