"You know there's no grudge, so why did you force us to kill the number one scholar, the emperor's nephew? This is a heinous crime punishable by death for all nine generations of our clan. How could you be so vicious? If you wanted to die yourself, why drag us along?"
Brother Hu said with a sneer.
"Nonsense, I don't even know you, how could I hire you to kill someone?"
The Marquis's wife refused to admit it and no one could do anything to her.
"You don't know him? You're very familiar with our village chief. You often come to our village to look for him, and you've forgotten him in just a few days!"
Brother Hu was so angry that he exposed everything.
This big news shocked everyone so much that they couldn't believe it, and some even thought about the situation in their hearts.
What good could a woman do when she went to a mountain stronghold? Among bandits, could a woman still be innocent? Furthermore, the bandits claimed the woman had volunteered, which suggests she had a close relationship with the village chief.
This amount of information was difficult for everyone to absorb. The ministers all looked at Marquis Anyang with sympathy. He was really cuckolded.
"Nonsense! I don't know any leader of Wolong Mountain! He is slandering me. Your Majesty, please help me and give me justice!"
"My Lord, you must believe me. I am innocent. I married you, bore you children, and took care of everything in your mansion. How could I betray you?"
The Marquis's wife asked the emperor to make the decision and assured Marquis Anyang that she had not done anything to betray him.

Brother Hu revealed another big piece of news, took out a handkerchief from his arms and waved it.
Gao Zhijun took the handkerchief from Brother Hu, which had a "plum" character embroidered on it. Concubine Liu's name, Liu Yumei, also had a "plum" character in it.
Gao Zhijun handed the handkerchief to the Queen. The Queen took a look and glared at the Anyang Marquis' wife. "I remember that the Madam's name seemed to be Liu Yumei, right? There's a "plum" embroidered on it, so it should be Madam, right?"
The Queen gave the handkerchief to the Crown Princess after she had looked at it, and then had it shown to the ministers' wives.
The female members of the family took turns to look at it. They all saw the word "plum" embroidered on the handkerchief and believed that this handkerchief belonged to the wife of the Marquis of Anyang.
Seeing this, the Marquis's wife knew that it was useless to deny it, so she had to admit it.
