Chapter 492 Testifying
What was even more surprising was that Pei Xuanyi was followed by the wet nurse of Anyuesheng and Anyueya. This old man seemed ordinary, but at this moment he became the focus of everyone's attention.
Pei Xuanyi continued.
"The one following me is the wet nurse who has served Anyuesheng and Anyueya since they were young. She knows the truth of the whole thing very well. Now, she can tell everyone that it was Anyuesheng, not Qin Qixuan, who tried to violate the princess but failed."
As Pei Xuanyi's voice fell, the people around him gasped, and their eyes were all focused on the old man behind Pei Xuanyi. They didn't expect that things would turn around again, and this seemingly insignificant old man would become the key figure to uncover the truth.
Qin Qixuan had met this nanny once before, so he immediately recognized that she was Anyuesheng's nanny. However, he couldn't help but have a doubt in his heart. Could
it be that the little prince had the ability to foresee the future? He could actually bring this nanny to the scene to clarify the facts at such a critical moment?
Under the gaze of everyone, the nanny looked at Zhao Zemo tremblingly, and then nodded slowly.
Although her voice was trembling slightly, she said firmly.
"That's right, your Highness the Little Grandson is absolutely right. I served the young master and the young lady until they grew up, and I saw everything they did. The person who framed the princess was indeed Young Master An of Anyuesheng!"
The guests who attended Qin Qixuan's wedding banquet were all well-known figures in the capital. They often went in and out of the palace and had a certain understanding of what was going on inside and outside the palace. Although not every one of them had seen Anyuesheng's servants in person, there were always one or two who had happened to meet them and immediately recognized that this nanny was indeed the one who served the An brothers and sisters personally.
This confirmation undoubtedly added more credibility to the nanny's testimony, and also made the people present more suspicious of Zhao Zemo's accusation.
"I now completely believe that this nanny is indeed An Yuesheng's personal servant. Since such a close person has come forward to testify, what kind of evil things did An Yuesheng do?" A guest said with strong condemnation in his tone, obviously feeling extremely angry about An Yuesheng's behavior.
"Oh my God, I really didn't expect that An Yuesheng, who looks gentle and refined on the surface, looks like a gentleman, but is actually so dark in his heart. You can't judge a person by his appearance."
"Unfortunately, he is still a new noble under the emperor, and he is placed with high hopes. How can such a person make Daliang Dynasty better? This is simply a betrayal of the emperor!" Another person said indignantly, obviously feeling intolerable about An Yuesheng's behavior.
It was supposed to be a denunciation meeting against Qin Qixuan, but because of the testimony of the nanny, it inexplicably turned into the beginning of the exposure of Anyuesheng's evil deeds. The guests became more and more emotional, and they condemned Anyuesheng's despicable behavior, and some even began to call for Anyuesheng to be brought to justice.
Zhao Zemo stood aside, and his expression seemed a little dazed. He obviously couldn't understand how things had developed to this point.
However, no matter what he said now, no one would believe it. His reputation has completely collapsed, and people are full of suspicion and vigilance towards his words.
In contrast, Qin Qixuan was very calm. He calmly presided over the situation, calmed the guests, and promised to find out the truth as soon as possible and give everyone a satisfactory explanation.
Qin Qixuan looked around and spoke loudly.
"Everyone, today should have been a great day for Yan Ya and me, but it was unexpectedly disrupted by someone, which was really a disappointment. However, after all these twists and turns, not only did the grievances of Yan Ya and me be cleared, but An Yuesheng's ugly face was completely exposed. In order to thoroughly investigate this matter, I have notified the people from the Dali Temple to come and take the relevant people away for interrogation."
As soon as he finished speaking, the officials from the Dali Temple came in and took away Zhao Zemo, the nanny and other people involved in the case. The sudden storm finally subsided, and the wedding banquet was able to resume.
Although it experienced some twists and turns, fortunately the final result was satisfactory. Qin Qixuan and Wen Yanya stood hand in hand in the wedding hall, with happy smiles on their faces. The guests also sent their blessings, wishing the newlyweds a happy marriage and a long life together.
At the end of the wedding banquet, when Wen Yanya offered tea to Qin Shu, her hands trembled slightly, revealing her inner excitement and nervousness. The
two old people in the Wen family also had tears in their eyes when they saw their daughter getting married. They once had doubts about Wen Yanya's insistence on marrying into the Qin family, wondering whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
However, looking at this warm and happy scene in front of them, they were relieved. Qin Qixuan's calmness, decisiveness, and his deep affection for Wen Yanya all made them believe that he was a good man worthy of trust.
As expected, within less than a day after the wedding banquet ended, the streets were already full of rumors about the wedding banquet incident. After dinner, people talked about this unexpected farce with relish.
As the son of the Qin family, the first imperial merchant in the capital, Qin Qixuan's wedding banquet naturally attracted a lot of attention. However, no one expected that Zhao Zemo would make a big fuss at the wedding banquet, and this farce undoubtedly added more topics to the already sensational wedding banquet.
In the past two days, the hottest topic in the streets was undoubtedly this wedding banquet incident.
People were talking about it in the streets and alleys, and various versions of the story emerged one after another, but no matter which version, it was inseparable from Zhao Zemo's uproar and Qin Qixuan's calm response.
It is worth noting that in this rumor, the image of Qin Qixuan and the Qin family was unexpectedly positive, and even portrayed as somewhat pitiful.
People praised Qin Qixuan's magnanimity and calmness, and praised his performance at the wedding banquet. In contrast, Zhao Zemo was scolded badly, and his behavior was regarded as unreasonable and disruptive to the happiness of others, which aroused public anger.
The impact of this incident was so great that it was not limited to ordinary people. Even those powerful people were secretly inquiring about the follow-up development of this matter.
This matter caused a sensation in the capital, and people were talking about it on the streets. The emperor, who was in the deep palace, could not have known nothing about it. After all, this wedding banquet incident was not just a private grudge, but had evolved into a hot event that attracted public attention, and even had a certain impact on the image of the royal family.
Sure enough, after the emperor heard the details of the incident the next day, he was furious and immediately ordered Qin Qixuan, Zhao Zemo and other related people to be summoned to the court. He wanted to personally review the case.
