Chapter 189: Making the Decision for My Wife
"Is this not the only time I've been so outrageous?"
Xie Suzhou curled his lips, his eyes full of interest. "We are now talking about Duke Su's secret lover, deceiving his wife, and refusing to raise his own son. To be honest, even the fire in the Duke's Mansion eighteen years ago aroused suspicion."
"Such a large mansion should have water stored everywhere, but they couldn't even put out a fire." Xie Suzhou raised an eyebrow at him, a playful smile on his lips, "If I weren't so lucky, I'm afraid the person behind this would have succeeded."
"What do you mean by that?" Duke Su's expression was incredibly grim, and he almost gnashed his back teeth to pieces. "Are you going to accuse me of having anything to do with the fire in court?"
"Don't take everything on yourself, Duke." Xie Suzhou had a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold and indifferent. "I just have doubts."
Duke Su was unsteady, with anger choking his heart. He almost couldn't control his temper and rushed forward to slap him hard.
How can an ignorant child compare with Tang Song?
"Brother, Father has had a hard time. Don't be so aggressive." Tang Song called out in a trembling voice, saying bluntly, "Father only has Mother in his heart, and has never had anyone else. If you don't believe me, you can go and take a look at the Ziyun Villa that my grandfather mentioned."
Duke Su frowned, his eyes full of disapproval, "Song'er..."
Tang Song ignored him and simply raised his head, looking directly at Zhang Pu, who was sitting at the head of the table. "Lord Zhang, send someone."
Seeing him so confident, a hint of surprise flashed in Zhang Gelao's eyes, and he subconsciously looked at Mr. Gu, "Grand Master..."
Mr. Gu waved his hand and said in a cold tone, "Send someone."
"Everything I said is true. That Ziyun Courtyard is just an empty courtyard." Tang Song looked back with a firm expression. "What if you have slandered my father?"
Xie Suzhou looked at him quietly, his face calm but with some thoughts in his mind.
Tang Song came over at the right time and spoke with such certainty, so he must have moved the mistress to another place long ago.
I was so concerned that I was distracted and only focused on visiting the old man, and forgot to ask An Zhicheng to block the villa.
There is always a loophole in a perfect plan.
Mr. Gu had obviously considered this as well, his expression grim. "First, let's resolve the issue of Tang Yuan refusing to raise his own child, and then—"
"Of course Ziyun Courtyard is an empty courtyard."
A woman's voice came from outside the door of the Censorate. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a girl in a green brocade skirt walking slowly, followed by two maids. The maids were holding a woman tightly in their hands and walking towards the Censorate.
Su Cheng was nonchalant, smiling brightly, "Only if she manages to escape."
Xie Suzhou's eyes flickered and his gaze fell on her. Just when he was distracted, the girl opposite him suddenly looked at him, blinked her left eye at him, and smiled smartly.
Seeing the smile on her lips, Xie Suzhou subconsciously turned his face away, avoiding her gaze, his heart beating rapidly.
"Wanqing..." Duke Su's eyes were bloodshot, staring at Su Cheng intently, and he said in a deep voice, "What are you going to do!"
"I'm a weak woman, I can't lift anything, what can I do?" Su Cheng pursed her lips, feigning innocence. "I just happened to be passing by the outskirts of Beijing, and I happened to see the Duke's carriage picking someone up. I also happened to see a woman running out of the other courtyard in panic, carrying luggage, so I brought her here."
It just so happens...how can it be such a coincidence!
This little bitch is clearly making fun of herself!
Looking at the woman being pressed to the ground by the maid, Tang Song's hands on his knees suddenly tightened, and hatred and humiliation flashed in his eyes.
Duke Suguo frowned, suppressing his inner restlessness and said in a deep voice, "I don't know her. There is a misunderstanding here."
"Yeah?"
Gu Yunchang's voice was heard at the door, and Duke Su's body froze visibly. He turned around in disbelief and saw his wife walking towards him.
Duke Su's expression changed instantly, and he had to put on a smile, "Yun Chang..."
Gu Yunchang looked at him coldly, without a trace of unnecessary emotion on her well-maintained face. "Tang Yuan, have you really never done anything wrong to me?"
Duke Su nodded subconsciously and spoke without hesitation, "Yun Chang, have I ever changed my mind over the years? We only have one child, Chen'er, and Song'er. There are so few children in our family, and I've never complained. I only want to grow old with you. When have I ever had any thoughts about anyone else?"
Hearing this, Cen Wanqing, who was pressed to the ground, suddenly raised her head and looked at the man beside her blankly, with shock in her eyes.
Duke Su Guo naturally noticed her gaze, but he was too embarrassed to meet her gaze. He could only force himself to stare at Gu Yunchang in front of him, raised three fingers, and said loudly, "I, Tang Yuan, swear to heaven, if I have ever done anything to let Gu Yunchang down, let me be struck by lightning and suffer misfortune—"
"Don't say that..." Gu Yunchang covered his mouth with a handkerchief, her face showing some emotion.
Duke Su couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Yun Chang..."
"Because you will definitely die a miserable death." Gu Yunchang's expression suddenly changed. She took two steps back and casually threw the handkerchief that had touched his lips aside. Her eyes were full of sarcasm. "If you betray someone who is sincere, there is no need to swear an oath. God will naturally punish you."
"I...you..." Duke Su was so angry that he trembled all over. He finally suppressed his anger with great difficulty, "Why do you treat me like this?"
"Because I went to Ziyun Villa a long time ago."
Duke Su's expression was cracked. He stared at her face, forgetting even to breathe, "How is it possible..."
"I saw you two standing under the peach tree, affectionately flirting with each other, and I heard you say you would give everything to her son, even though there's no blood relationship between you and Tang Song." Gu Yunchang said lightly with a sneer on her lips, "You've really taken great pains to ensure they can see each other every day."
"I really didn't expect that after more than twenty years of love, you would actually pull me down just because she said she didn't want to be a mistress." Gu Yunchang glanced at Tang Song in the wheelchair and sneered, "And you, first you poisoned me, then sent assassins to kill my own son. In eighteen years, even if I had a dog, it would still wag its tail at me. What about you?"
A flash of panic flashed across Tang Song's eyes, but he suppressed it in time. He pretended to be confused and whispered, "Mother...how come your son doesn't understand what you are saying?"
"You don't understand, but you do understand." Gu Yunchang straightened her expression and called out behind her, "Changpu, present all the evidence."
"Yes." Chang Pu carried someone to the center, bowed to the elder Zhang at the top, and slowly spoke, "Elder, Tang Song brought a bowl of ginseng chicken soup a few nights ago, saying it was to apologize to the lady. The soup had been spiked with Crane's Beak Red. What I have in my hands is the chicken soaked in Crane's Beak Red, as well as the doctor's testimony from Xiangyun Pavilion."
"The man next to you is a killer sent by Tang Song. To ensure safety, Tang Song sent out seven or eight killers. Now there is only this one alive, and he has confessed. If it weren't for our young master's good fortune, he might not have escaped this disaster."
Changpu knelt on the ground and shouted, "I beg Elder Zhang to make a decision for my wife!"
Zhang Ge Lao's face changed drastically. He lowered his eyes to look at the father and son below him and said loudly, "Duke Su, what else do you two have to say?"
