Chapter 118 Confession and Review
There was a "clang" sound.
Fu Yi casually put the knife back in.
"Send Madam Chu back to the Marquis' Mansion."
Fu Yi turned around and said, "Remember to tell Marquis Wuning that Madam Chu is not fit to be a mother, the Marquis' daughter is not fit to be a wife, and even the Marquis' son, in my opinion, is not fit to be a son."
That's too harsh.
The mother is not worthy of being a mother, the wife is not worthy of being a wife, and the son is not worthy of being a son.
The word "unbearable" directly points to the moral character, which is almost like saying that the family's reputation is rotten from top to bottom.
But what difference does it make? What's the difference between saying this and trampling the entire Wuning Marquisate into the mud?
Chu Zhen's face turned completely pale. How crazy would Marquis Wuning go after hearing this?
How would the servants view her? How would she conduct herself in the mansion from now on?
No, no, it's much more than that...
Chu Zhen realized that if she didn't speak out, it would be too late.
She yelled, "Wait!"
The guards naturally didn't listen to her and forced her to fight, even her hairpins fell off during the struggle.
"The Marquis' Mansion has absolutely no intention of offending the Prince!"
"So the girl sent to the Prince's Mansion was an innocent girl!"
Zhou Yunfu, who had been enjoying the show, was stunned. What did this mean?
Chu Zhen took a deep breath and said, "The Prince... the Prince should have realized something as well, right?"
Zhou Yunfu suddenly realized what was happening and immediately started to criticize: "Oh! How dare you, the Marquis' Mansion, replace the bride! The one before...wasn't Yurong at all?"
"Mom! Don't talk nonsense!" Qin Yurong reacted more violently when she heard this.
In her opinion, by admitting this, wouldn’t it bring the people who left back into the relationship?
Chu Zhen closed her eyes weakly.
Why did the prince not ask about the whereabouts of "Xiaohe"?
He was just waiting for her to give up and speak. By then, would she still have any leverage?
"My son did something wrong, but as a parent, how can I report him to others? Naturally, I can only do my best to make amends."
"Since ancient times, relatives have protected each other, all because of a common heart. I hope Your Majesty will understand..."
Chu Zhen struggled to kneel down again and kowtowed several times.
Zhou Yunfu couldn't help but interrupt: "You are committing the crime of deceiving the emperor."
Chu Zhen hated Zhou Yunfu so much in her heart.
"Your Majesty granted the marriage urgently, and it was too late. There was no other way!"
After she finished speaking, she immediately went to see Fu Yi's reaction.
But Fu Yi still had a calm expression.
Chu Zhen thought for a moment and quickly shouted, "Her name is Xiao He!"
"The girl's name is Xiaohe..."
Fu Yi then responded to her: "It sounds like the name of a maid."
"Yes, yes... The first time I saw her, she was dressed as a maid." Chu Zhen dared not hide anything and told her what happened on the day of her wedding.
But the fact that she pretended to be the girl's biological mother was concealed.
"So, she is the daughter lost from your mansion?"
"yes……"
"Then how could there be such a cruel mother like you in this world?"
"Then there's really no other way!"
Fu Yi looked at her and fell silent again.
Chu Zhen said in a trembling voice, "I dare to ask the prince, are you going to capture her and punish her together? If so, I will not tell you her whereabouts. The Marquis' Mansion has already wronged her, and we can't make the same mistake again..."
Fu Yi's expression was indifferent: "How can you ask me this?"
He waved his hand: "Take it away."
Chu Zhen had just put on the attitude of a "good mother", so she couldn't just throw her face away right now.
She choked again and again in her throat, and was finally dragged away.
Qin Yurong wiped her face, raised her head and said, "Everything started with me. Prince, please kill me to vent your anger."
Fu Yi didn't even bother to look at her.
When someone like Qin Yurong encounters a problem they can't solve, the only thing they can think of is death. Letting her die would be like a dream come true.
"Take him away."
"Yes!" The guard stepped forward and took Qin Yurong away.
Qin Yurong was stunned.
In other words, he won't calm down.
When will the Marquis' Mansion repay this debt? No one knows.
He wanted to keep her here to see with her own eyes... the end of the Marquis' Mansion.
Qin Yurong's tears kept falling.
Sister, he is not good.
But then she thought again...but her sister is doing well!
…
Without the cries of Chu Zhen and her daughter, the room returned to silence.
Zhou Yunfu moved her stiff legs and took two steps towards Fu Yi. She held up her handkerchief and said hesitantly, "Don't be sad for those bitches in the Marquis' Mansion, Prince."
Seeing Fu Yi didn't say anything.
Zhou Yunfu quickly smiled and said, "I'm willing to share the prince's worries..."
"Share your worries?" Fu Yi raised his eyes with a hint of smile on his lips.
If you look closely, you will find that the smile is sarcastic.
"Yeah." Zhou Yunfu stretched out her hand and wanted to touch the back of Fu Yi's hand.
But before he could get close, Wu Xun grabbed his sword sheath and stopped him.
What a rude guard! Zhou Yunfu glared at Wu Xun.
Wu Xun glared back. Where did this idiot come from? Even the Princess of Ren County never glares at me!
"Is this your way of sharing your worries?" Fu Yi's voice sounded again.
Zhou Yunfu blushed: "Well, I..."
Fu Yi interrupted her: "Do you want to be the second Qin Yurong?"
"How could I be her? I..." Zhou Yunfu's voice suddenly stopped. Uninvited, secretly seducing, wouldn't that make her another Qin Yurong?
Zhou Yunfu shuddered and quickly withdrew her hand: "I didn't mean that, Prince. I would never be her! Absolutely not! I said those things today because I wanted Prince not to be kept in the dark. I only... I only hope for the best for Prince."
"But you have deeply offended the Marquis' Mansion."
Zhou Yunfu emphasized: "For the sake of the prince, I'm naturally not afraid of the Wuning Marquis Mansion!"
"Today's events..."
"I will never tell anyone!" Zhou Yunfu almost swore.
"Send Miss Zhou back."
"I..." Zhou Yunfu certainly didn't want to leave. She'd never had the chance to meet Prince Danshuo before, but now that he was so close, her imagination naturally ran wild.
Wu Xun muttered, "You still say you don't want to be the second Qin Yurong."
Zhou Yunfu's wild thoughts vanished, and she walked out quickly: "I'm leaving now."
Now it was completely quiet.
The imperial physician sighed and stood up, handing the prescription to Fu Yi. "I should have advised the master not to get angry. But then I thought, we are not made of clay or wood. It's not good for the master to always be calm. I should vent my unhappiness."
Wu Xun interrupted: "Just now, I taught the Marquis of Wuning a lesson. Doesn't that count as venting my unhappiness?"
The imperial physician glanced at Fu Yi's face and said, "It's too early."
Wu Xun: "Then we still have to catch the Princess of the County!" After saying that, he felt something was wrong: "Also, I shouldn't call her Princess of the County anymore, I should call her..."
"Xiao He." Fu Yi uttered two words.
"Whether she's a maid or something else, Chu Zhen needs to legalize her identity and change her household registration." Fu Yi looked at the people around him, "Go check the records."
Wu Xun breathed a sigh of relief.
No wonder the master had no intention of asking Chu Zhen.
"Chu Zhen is really lucky. Although her son and daughter are useless, she still got a smart and capable girl from heaven." Wu Xun curled his lips.
"Smart...very smart."
"She had been planning this day ever since she learned that Prince Liang wanted to help her escape. She knew Qin Yurong couldn't hide her true feelings, so she simply used her to attract my attention. When I thought she was waiting for the birthday banquet, her deception was successful."
"Prince Liang and Qin Yurong have both become a factor in slowing me down."
Wu Xun was shocked: "Prince Liang still doesn't know anything."
King Liang thought he had failed, and of course no one would tell him that the man had actually escaped successfully.
"Well, she's much smarter than King Liang. With King Liang's methods, there's no way he could take her away."
"Now that I think about it, she has another skill that she can do beautifully."
Wu Xun was extremely worried and asked hurriedly, "Why do you say that, Master?"
"She frequently exchanged with Qin Yurong before. One reason was to help Qin Yurong better integrate into the Prince's Mansion, and the other was to make us fall into a fixed way of thinking."
"A fixed way of thinking?"
"Well, I think they are just exchanging with each other. So as long as the Princess is there and the maid disguised as Qin Yurong is there, I will instinctively feel that she is still there."
Wu Xun clapped his hands excitedly, "It's true! That's exactly what I thought at the time. I never doubted it at all!"
"As we were leaving the house, perhaps she had painted her face, hidden in the crowd, and watched us leave..."
Wu Xun got goosebumps when he heard this.
What calmness and boldness this requires!
"That maid used to disguise the top number, I don't know where she came from..." Wu Xun was talking, and suddenly remembered, "Is she from Chu Zhen's side?"
"Um."
"Yes, we never stopped her from seeing Chu Zhen... Who could have thought? We all thought she couldn't get away since she was right under our noses!"
Wu Xun's voice became excited again, but then he felt that something was wrong with his excitement.
This is... it's rare that someone can fool the prince!
He turned his head cautiously and looked at Fu Yi.
There was still no expression on Fu Yi's face, but there were complex emotions dancing in his eyes, like fire, excitement, and something that seemed to be biting.
