Chapter 94 Shameless and Thick-skinned
Outside the court, the people listened to the conversation between the father and daughter, and they all started discussing it excitedly.
"It seems that the lady from the Yun family never returned to the Yun family after she got married."
"Yes, I heard from someone that the guy there wouldn't let her go out because he thought her background was bad and it would bring shame to him."
"No matter how poor Yun's family background is, can it be worse than his current wife?"
Someone who heard the news coughed lightly and spoke in a voice that everyone could hear, amid the expectant and curious gazes of the crowd.
"Is his current wife a woman from the building, or a skinny girl from the south? Who knows if she is a woman that thousands of people have slept with? He can marry such a woman home and treat her like a treasure. Does that mean she has a noble status just because she came out of the building?"
Those who come out of the brothels are like the mud on the ground in everyone's eyes, and can never be washed clean.
"My God, he's still a skinny guy? I didn't realize that Mr. Zhao is such a loyal and affectionate person."
"Not only is his love for his wife deep and his loyalty to his wife great, but all the elders in the capital know that his wife gave birth to a big fat boy less than seven months after he got married.
"Let's not talk about how wonderful these seven months were. Let's just say that when he got married, Yun had only been dead for half a year.
"If he had any sense of propriety and dignity, and a bit of the dignity of a man from a noble family, he shouldn't have married a new wife less than a year after his first wife died, and let the new wife enter the house with a seed."
The man who was speaking obviously knew a lot of inside information. He spoke very logically, causing people around him to nod their heads. When he looked towards the hall, his eyes were filled with contempt.
The discussions outside the hall continued to reach the court. Zhao Jingtian felt unhappy and angry as he listened to how these common people dared to criticize his family.
Lu Xinran looked at his clenched fists at his sides and always felt that this man was very interesting.
[He not only wants to seize other people's property, but also insults and slanders them to the utmost. He is a master at eating free meals. ]
[I really don't know whether this is a shameless character that has been passed down in the Rong En Marquis's family, or whether he is gifted and born to be cruel and vicious.]
[She is a whore and still wants to be a saint. Does she think that others are blind, or does she think that she is also a victim and can vent her anger on innocent people? ]
[You are so wronged in your mind. Tsk, why don't you blame your father and grandfather? If they had not chosen the wrong side, the Bo family wouldn't have to go bankrupt. ]
[You can also blame the emperor. Don't always exclude dissidents. If the emperor doesn't want your lives, then nothing will happen.]
Zhao Jingtian, who was standing in the hall and listening to her all-round complaints, was so angry that his hands were shaking.
Doesn't he want to blame his grandfather and the emperor?
But the mistake has been made, and he wants to do everything he can to fix it. What's wrong with that?
Moreover, the Yun family relied on the influence of the Bo Mansion to expand their business over the years, and Yun Hua and Yun Cheng also benefited from it.
Lu Xinran was feeling bored, and when he read his inner voice, he couldn't help but spit again.
[He is like tearing off the left cheek and sticking it on the right cheek. He is shameless and thick-skinned.]
[Does the Yun family need to borrow the power of your mansion to do business? Yun Hua was a low-key and elegant man back then, and he never thought of expanding his family business. ]
[I'm so low-key, but I'm still targeted by you shameless people. 】
[You covet other people's property and find so many excuses. Is a pig no longer a pig when it is brought to the capital? If you are used to being a turtle, you think you can be a tortoise too. ]
Eavesdropping on the people in my heart: "..."
I can’t hold it anymore. I’m about to burst out laughing. What should I do?
Song Junyan tried hard to keep a straight face, making himself look expressionless, serious and fair.
But the more Zhao listened, the more relieved she felt. She just hoped that she would curse at her a few more times.
Zhao Jingtian was scolded unilaterally, and he was so angry that he calmed down.
He and that damn girl don't get along at all, and nothing he does requires her approval.
It was still bustling outside the hall. Half an hour later, the servant who had gone to Bo's house came back first.
Lu Xinran rolled his eyes at the two servants who followed the officer in.
The dispute just now took place more than 40 years ago, and the two men brought by the police looked under 40 years old.
When Yun married into the Rong En Marquis's mansion, these two people were not yet born. How could they testify?
Zhao Jingtian was also startled when he saw the person coming, and then anger flashed in his eyes.
Seeing that he was about to get angry, the visitor shrank back and knelt on the ground with a plop.
"Sir, I am the youngest son of the chief steward of the Bo's Mansion. My father has been ill for the past few days and cannot get out of bed. He told me everything that happened that year and asked me to pass it on."
【Butler? 】
Lu Xinran's questioning voice came again, "Didn't the steward of the Bo Mansion die two years ago? The current steward is a confidant of the Tao family, and this person is the son of the new steward."
[That housekeeper is, uh, forty-six years old this year. He was still in the hands of a human trafficker when Yun got married. He knows, haha, he knows shit.]
Zhao listened to her thoughts and hurried forward to say: "My lord, when my mother married into the Earl's Mansion, the housekeeper was not this man but my father. His father entered the mansion when I was thirteen years old. He knows nothing about what happened in the mansion more than ten years ago. You can't trust a word this man says!"
"Well," Song Junyan only nodded slightly and asked Zhao Jingtian: "Lord Rong En, is there any falsehood in what Zhao said?"
Zhao Jingtian closed his eyes and was about to speak when the crowd was suddenly separated by brute force. An old woman trembled and walked to the door of the court and shouted something inside.
"My Lord, I am a maidservant of the old lady. When the Crown Prince's wife came to recognize her as her biological mother, I was standing behind her."
Zhao turned around suddenly and saw a familiar figure.
This person was indeed a second-class maidservant beside Qi.
He glanced at Song Junyan's expression in surprise, and when he saw him nod slightly, he let the person in.
The old woman knelt down beside the other two people as soon as she entered the house. "My lord, when the Crown Prince's wife married into the Earl's Mansion, I was by his side. I heard with my own ears that she was willing to put the dowry into the palace to be used for daily expenses in the mansion."
"You farted!"
A powerful and angry rebuke came from outside the hall.
When everyone turned around, they saw an old woman with silver hair standing outside the hall with a cane.
The old woman followed the officer and only walked over the threshold into the courtroom with the help of Lu Xinran and her sister.
She put down her crutches and tried several times, but her disabled legs prevented her from kneeling down on her own.
"Stand up and answer. Who are you and why did you just make a scene and disturb the court?"
Shen hurriedly bowed and then tightened her cheeks to try not to spit on Zhao Jingtian.
"My Lord, I was once the wet nurse of the wife of the Crown Prince of the Rong'en Marquisate, Yun. After the wife passed away, the old man of the Yun family released me from my indenture, but I missed the eldest lady and have been staying by her side all these years.
"I was just in a hurry and couldn't bear to hear others spread rumors to slander the prince's wife. I accidentally disturbed the court. I hope you can bring someone to atone for your sin."
One was dignified and imposing, while the other was kneeling on the ground with her legs swinging on her skirt.
There was no need for the adults in the court to judge, as the difference was immediately apparent, and everyone had their own plans in mind.
