Zhao Ming's mistress is an ordinary person.
During questioning, she confessed everything without even needing to use excessive threats.
She met Zhao Ming at a brothel.
Zhao Ming, captivated by her beauty, kept her as a mistress in a luxurious house and secretly conceived a child with her, giving birth to a son and a daughter.
Zhao Ming is a wolf in sheep's clothing, and he hides it very well.
Zhao Ming's legal wife was preoccupied with the mundane affairs of the household and was completely unaware of her husband's philandering outside the home.
However, one day, Zhao Ming hurriedly returned to the place where he lived with his mistress.
He looked flustered and, without saying a word, hurriedly moved the mother and her two children to another secluded place.
After the mistress finished speaking, she began to steal glances at Lu Jingze.
He stared expressionlessly at the trembling woman before him and said coldly, "Think carefully, and tell me everything you know, only then can you save your life and that of your two children!"
The maid was already terrified, nodding repeatedly and racking her brains for a solution.
After a long pause, she said, "Yes, sir! There's something else like this. Zhao Ming gave me a box before and told me to burn it immediately after everything was settled. But I saw that the box was really exquisitely made, and I got greedy and secretly hid it. As for anything else... I... I really don't know anything about it..."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but sob softly.
Lu Jingze was preoccupied with his thoughts as he sat at his desk, carefully sorting out the whole incident.
As my thoughts deepened, those seemingly chaotic clues became clear as if I were peeling away layers of an onion.
This matter is definitely inextricably linked to the rebel faction in Dayong.
This plan is extremely cunning.
The rebels first meticulously planned and perpetrated the horrific massacre of the Ming family during a surprise attack on the northern border, and then attempted to sow discord between Ming Xuan and the imperial court through various means, turning them into enemies.
With the border unstable, if Mingxuan truly listens to slander, then the Great Gan campaign will be in imminent danger.
Such a vicious scheme is truly outrageous!
Fortunately, the general direction of the investigation has now been clarified. After returning to the capital, he immediately followed this important clue.
Persistence pays off, and he finally found some clues.
This frame-up was meticulously planned, involving not only the Dayong rebels but also nobles in the court.
This is why the entire chain of evidence is extremely tight and complete. Even Lu Jingze was almost misled by it when he first came into contact with it.
Later, in order to deceive the traitors and to protect Su Yingxue and her son, the fake couple had no choice but to continue playing the role.
"It can be said that without Mingxuan's victory in that ambush, Da Gan would have been doomed to defeat once the two northern armies formed an encirclement."
Lu Jingze said these words calmly, but Wang Xiuxiu knew that behind this seemingly calm and peaceful appearance lay a heavy price and sacrifice.
His sworn brother died tragically on the battlefield, and he almost turned against his own brother in his determination to clear the name of the Ming family.
To fulfill a promise to a deceased friend not only means enduring criticism of one's character from others, but also means severing ties with family.
It is easy to imagine the immense pain and torment he endured at that time.
Wang Xiuxiu couldn't resist and stepped forward to hug him, even nuzzling her fluffy head against his chest.
"What's wrong? Why are you acting all cute?"
Lu Jingze reached out with loving eyes and gently stroked Wang Xiuxiu's soft hair, a doting smile unconsciously appearing on his face.
"I'm not being cute, I just feel that you've had a tough time..."
A muffled sound came from Lu Jingze's chest. The slightly mournful words seemed to transform into an invisible force, instantly piercing Lu Jingze's heart and causing him to tremble as if he had been electrocuted.
An indescribable feeling welled up in his heart, as if his heart had melted.
He never told his elder brother about this, nor could he tell anyone else.
Prior to this, only Su Yingxue knew a little about it.
Because of her status, Su Yingxue couldn't comfort him, and even saying something caring would make things extremely awkward between them.
Therefore, to this day, only Wang Xiuxiu cares about his past experiences.
Since meeting Xiuxiu, it was as if his Ren and Du meridians had been unlocked.
The tightly closed doors of emotion deep within slowly opened, and a continuous stream of delicate and profound feelings began to emerge.
Xiuxiu taught him everything he hadn't been able to understand or learn in the past.
Wang Xiuxiu gave him what he had secretly longed for but could never obtain, without hesitation.
At this point, Lu Jingze finally understood why he had felt an irreplaceable affection for her from the very first moment he saw her.
Wang Xiuxiu is like his opposite, intelligent and calm.
Ke Xiuxiu is sunny and warm, and has flesh and blood.
The unique charm she exuded constantly drew me closer to her.
It seemed that as long as one got a little closer, one could be bathed in her light, nourishing one's flesh and blood.
Xiuxiu, to him, possessed an irresistible and fatal allure...
