Chapter 63: Confrontation
"stop."
Pu Qiongzhi stood up.
But Zhuang Er refused to listen to her.
"This is the woman I married with my own money. Who are you? Do you think you have any right to interfere?"
He suddenly dragged Ning Fangfei to his side.
Pu Qiongzhi looked at him coldly, then glanced at the neighbor beside her, "Do you know what a sin it is to lie?"
"This is Kaifeng Prefecture, the largest court in Daliang!"
"You dare to lie here? If you are exposed, your entire clan will be killed!"
She approached step by step, watching the neighbor's expression change.
"Ahem..." Pei Wanqing cleared her throat at the right time and exchanged glances with the man.
Soon, the neighbor seemed to have found his backbone, "I didn't lie! I told you the truth!"
"The Peng family are all good people. They worked so hard to raise Ning Fangfei! As a neighbor, I've seen them treat her better than their own daughter! Now, the Peng family is just marrying off their daughter. What's wrong with that?!"
Pu Qiongzhi paused, then turned around and sat back in her chair. "Jiaoyang County Lord is not feeling well, so go back and rest."
"Don't tell me you got sick from all the work you put into treating the plague a while ago."
Pei Wanqing heard the sarcasm in her words, but smiled calmly, "Thank you for your concern, Lady Wen Shu."
"I just didn't expect that Lady Wen Shu would be involved in such a thing, and I wanted to hear if there was any misunderstanding."
Pu Qiongzhi was adjusting her clothes and seemed not to hear what she said.
Pei Wanqing, who was left aside like this, didn't care at all.
Because she knew that Pu Qiongzhi was like a grasshopper in autumn and would not be able to jump for much longer.
Di Jin observed the changes going back and forth. "Since there are witnesses proving that Ning Fangfei is indeed Peng's adopted daughter, and that Peng Kang and his wife, as parents, arranged a marriage for their adopted daughter, that is also established... In this way, the Pu family is indeed implicated in the crime of human abduction or aiding in a marriage escape..."
"Ms. Pu, do you want to give an explanation for this?" Di Jin looked at Pu Qiongzhi who was sitting beside him.
The woman looked calm and composed, as if she was just a visitor rather than being tried.
"Wait a minute! Lord Di, even if it is true that they are husband and wife, I don't think Concubine Wen Shu knows about it. At most, she has been deceived, right?" Duke Jingkang interrupted Di Jin at the right time.
He is now old and rarely participates in court disputes.
However, parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run.
The younger generation in the family is not easy to take care of, so he has to worry about them.
I heard that the family's little grandson's studies depended heavily on Wen Shugong, so he could only move around.
Moreover, his daughter-in-law has always been sensible. She has been married into the family for so long and has never asked for anything.
As a father-in-law, he really couldn't bear to reject her, let alone for Kuan'er!
"Lord Jingkang is right. It seems that this matter cannot be blamed on Concubine Wen Shu. Old Di, why do you need Concubine Wen Shu to provide evidence?" Prince Jinnan spoke more casually. He was also helpless because of his daughter's pestering.
He now saw some clues.
I'm afraid it was this little girl from the Pei family who used some tricks to torment Lady Wen Shu.
A while ago, his daughter got close to the daughter of Old Fox Pei, and no matter how he tried to persuade her, it was useless.
Who knew that one day, the daughter would see the other person's true face.
Now, my daughter has started to speak up for this gentle and noble lady again.
He really has no choice!
Even his wife was full of praise for this gentle and respectful woman.
You know, among all the noble ladies and ladies in the capital, his wife hardly takes notice.
So, he could only accept the order to come and check the situation.
Fortunately, it doesn't seem to be Mrs. Wen Shugong's fault.
——The following is a draft. It’s too late today. I will make up for it immediately.
I am a top star, and my brother Yaozu became an Internet celebrity by scolding me.
[Celebrities, at that time, were the lowest form of actors, toys for men to play with.]
Until one day, he and I traveled through ancient times together, and he boasted that from now on, wealth and glory would never care about me, which made me laugh.
[Satisfied? Do you know what the brothers of actors were called in ancient times?]
[Bastard brother-in-law! Because he's useless and incompetent, he has to rely on his sisters to make a living!]
Later, he knelt at my feet, crying, "Sister, you can't be so cruel!"
After all, he is a blood brother from the same mother. I was merciful for once. I couldn't bear to see him starve to death on the street, so I personally sent him to be a eunuch. After being castrated, he can be employed on the land, which will bring honor to my family in the future.

[When a woman sits down to eat, it's a good time.]
[In ancient times, which man would want someone who was so exposed to the public?]
I stood at the door and listened to my brother talking nonsense in the live broadcast room. I just thought it was ridiculous.
He looked so fat from eating so much, and now he was slumped on the sofa, like a toad.
He has only been studying for a few years, but he has done a lot of bad things.
Now that he has become an expert, I don’t know what it means to watch his live broadcast.
Compared to me, I don’t know who is benefiting from the new era——
My parents favor boys over girls.
I worked and studied very hard to break free and become a star. I entered the entertainment industry and became famous overnight.
Now, my uneducated and useless brother has started live streaming, and he is making a fortune by stepping on my spine and attracting attention.
Everyone has a dark side. They like to see the pure and innocent saint fall into the mud, and they like to see the high and mighty goddess become degraded.
He makes some small profits by slandering me and deceiving the public.
However, his words are always inconsistent and full of loopholes.
Everyone was skeptical and didn't really buy it.

Ever since I came into the public eye and became a household name, my parents' faces immediately became more amiable.
They were both very smart. They established the persona of loving and doting on their daughter, and made a lot of money as a result.
The younger brother who was once pampered by them has become secondary.
Therefore, he only dared to complain about these things in the live broadcast room.
In front of me, he is more fawning and servile than anyone else.
After all, I can just snap my fingers and the company's public relations team can take him down.
Han Xin ambushed Xiang Yu from all sides, yet he still had a glimmer of hope. I didn't want to push him to the edge.
I can allow them to make money in my name, but I have cut off all ties with them long ago and will not give them a penny.
But unexpectedly, this stupid dog actually believed his own words...
Before filming of a malicious and attention-grabbing variety show began, we both got into a car accident.
When I opened my eyes again, I found that we had traveled back to ancient times together.

Watching his emotions change from confusion, to ecstasy, and then to arrogance, I felt sick.
[Yun Chengfeng, let's see how rampant you are! This is ancient times, men are upright and women support their husbands and raise children!]
