Bai Mengying quickly regained her composure and frowned as she looked at Qiao Xiuyuan. "What does Marquis Anyang mean by this? How can you suddenly question me like this? Do you even respect the Bai family?!"
Now she can only use the Bai family to pressure Qiao Xiuyuan. If Qiao Xiuyuan knows what's good for him, he shouldn't make a big fuss about this, otherwise the Bai family will definitely not let him off easily!
But Qiao Xiuyuan snorted coldly and directly said what Bai Mengying was thinking.
"What? Is the princess trying to use the Bai family to pressure me?"
“When Zixi was six years old, I was afraid of the Bai family, so I had to keep this a secret from my daughter. But I am a father after all. How can I continue to swallow my anger when my own daughter has been framed time and time again!”
"Besides, you not only harmed my daughter, but also my son! Even if I end up in prison unjustly, I will still demand an explanation from the princess for my children!"
After saying that, Chang Zhong, who was behind him, threw Wu Mama, whom he was holding, to Bai Mengying's feet.
When Granny Wu was thrown to the ground, she didn't cry out in pain. Instead, she knelt down and took two steps before grabbing Bai Mengying's leg.
"Princess, save me! This old servant has served you for over a decade. Even if I haven't achieved anything great, I've certainly put in a lot of hard work! You can't abandon this old servant! I've only been doing what you ordered!"
Bai Mengying kicked Wu Mama hard, "You dog servant! Stop making baseless accusations!"
She then looked at Qiao Xiuyuan with resentment, "What is the purpose of Marquis Anyang sending a servant to slander this princess! It is said that Marquis Anyang treats Miss Su like his own daughter. It seems that the rumors are true!"
"You've framed me just because I've taken your place as a good daughter-in-law! I will definitely seek justice from my aunt, the Empress! I will never let you get away with this!"
In everyone's eyes, Bai Mengying had always been gentle and generous, and they had never seen her so ruthless and mean-spirited before.
What surprised everyone the most was that Bai Mengying and Qiao Xiuyuan argued in public.
Isn't Qiao Xiuyuan one of the Empress's men?
Moreover, Qiao Xiuyuan has always been a gentle and good-tempered person…
Although they didn't quite believe that Bai Mengying was such a treacherous and vicious person, the things presented to them left them no choice but to believe it.
Unless Qiao Xiuyuan has gone mad, he wouldn't come to Bai Mengying to argue without any evidence.
Qiao Xiuyuan took out an envelope from his sleeve and held it up in front of everyone. "I, Qiao Xiuyuan, have come here today with solid evidence! Here are all the notes that Princess Chang Le and this old servant have passed over the years, and some of them were written by Princess Chang Le herself!"
"Whether it was my daughter scratching her face twelve years ago or my son breaking his leg three years ago, it was all Princess Chang Le's fault!"
"I was greedy for power before and dared not speak out about this matter, fearing that the Bai family and the Empress would find a pretext to strip me of my official robes. I never expected that after so many years, Princess Chang Le would still not let our Qiao family go after returning to the capital!"
Qiao Xiuyuan's face was filled with grief and indignation, and tears welled up in his eyes.
He looked like he had been holding back his anger for so long and was on the verge of collapse.
Although Qiao Ziming remained silent on the surface, he was inwardly sneering.
If someone didn't know the situation, they would think that his father was a loving father who couldn't bear to see his children suffer!
However, all of this was because of an outsider…
Subconsciously, he looked at Su Muxi and saw the right half of Su Muxi's face without the birthmark.
If only Su Muxi didn't have that birthmark...
In that case, they probably wouldn't have divorced, and things wouldn't be like this today...
Everyone's attention was drawn to the envelope in Qiao Xiuyuan's hand. Although they hadn't seen the contents, since Qiao Xiuyuan dared to take it out in front of so many people, it must be genuine.
After all, Princess Chang Le was not someone who could be easily framed.
Just then, Pei Yuan stepped forward.
"May I have a look at the evidence that Marquis Anyang is referring to? I am not very knowledgeable, but I have some knowledge of handwriting and have had the privilege of seeing Princess Chang Le's handwriting. I can make some distinctions."
Pei Yuan's meaning was clear: he didn't believe the evidence Qiao Xiuyuan presented at all.
Qiao Xiuyuan sneered: "Please take a closer look, Young Master Pei! After Princess Chang Le returned to the capital, she not only plotted to save my son from His Majesty's death and ask for a marriage decree during the hunt a month ago, but also had this old servant incite my wife to hire someone to burn down the entire Su family. Furthermore, a few days ago, she had this old servant disfigure my daughter's face."
As he spoke, he placed the envelope in Pei Yuan's hand.
"Young Master Pei, you mustn't destroy this evidence just to help Princess Chang Le cover up her crimes!"
Pei Yuan squeezed the envelope in his hand, a look of hesitation in his eyes.
The fact that Lady Anyang hired someone to burn the entire Su family alive was also arranged by Princess Changle.
How is this possible?!
Princess Chang Le is a gentle and kind person, how could she do such a vicious thing?!
Qiao Xiuyuan must be talking nonsense here!
However, after Pei Yuan opened the envelope and read the notes inside, his hands began to tremble, and his expression changed from initial confusion to shock and disbelief…
"Young Master Pei, have you seen clearly?!"
"Young Master Pei, what does it say on there?!"
"Is that really the princess's handwriting?"
…
Everyone grew anxious as Pei Yuan remained silent for a long time.
Those who admired Bai Mengying couldn't help but urge her on.
At first, Bai Mengying was relieved when Qiao Xiuyuan produced the so-called evidence.
Because she never personally relayed messages to Granny Wu; she always had her trusted confidants deliver them.
So even if Granny Wu left behind the notes they used to pass messages, it couldn't possibly be her handwriting on them.
But seeing Pei Yuan's expression now, she became puzzled.
“Young Master Pei, what do you think? I have never written a note or letter to the servants of the Marquis of Anyang’s residence. If you cannot compare the handwriting, I can write it on the spot and let everyone help compare it.”
Bai Mengying spoke with complete composure, which secretly relieved those who believed in her.
Pei Yuan slowly raised his head, looked coldly at Bai Mengying, and said, word by word, "The contents of the letter were all written by Princess Chang Le herself!"
"impossible!"
Bai Mengying rushed forward, snatched the note from Pei Yuan's hand, and panicked after only glancing at it twice.
The handwriting on it really was hers.
Although these were all things she had done, she had never written them down!
"Qiao Xiuyuan! You dare frame me! I never wrote any notes, Mingyan wrote them all! You…"
Before Bai Mengying could finish speaking, she realized something was wrong and quickly stopped talking.
Qiao Xiuyuan's eyes showed surprise; he hadn't expected Bai Mengying to make such a foolish mistake.
Before he could even take the final step, Bai Mengying confessed without being asked.
