Su Qingyu, who was standing behind Su Chengye at this moment, couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth. Her father was not even forty years old, but he had already become an old man?
Su Chengye's reaction was even greater than Su Qingyu's. He raised his foot and kicked the door open.
Bang.
The door to the main room was kicked open and then bounced back closed.
Su Chengye kicked again and walked in quickly.
"You adulterous couple, I will kill you."
Seeing this, Su Yuanzhou and Su Qingyu hurriedly followed in.
Both Concubine Zeng and Taoist Yuan on the bed were frightened. Concubine Zeng reacted first and immediately straightened her messy clothes. "My Lord, listen to me. It's not what you see."
She hadn't figured out how to explain it, but she had to.
Taoist Yuan also got out of bed immediately and glanced around to see if there was any chance to escape.
Su Chengye grabbed Aunt Zeng by the collar and brought her closer. "I heard everything, and you still dare to say it was a misunderstanding?"
"Even the child isn't mine. It seems like you two, the adulterous couple, have been hooking up together for a long time."
He glanced at Taoist Yuan. He remembered this man. He had performed a ritual at the Su family before.
"Master Taoist? I think you are more like a flower thief." Su Chengye cursed, wishing he could kill Master Taoist Yuan.
Aunt Zeng was grabbed by the collar by Su Chengye and shrank her neck in fear, fearing that he would punch her the next moment.
At this moment, countless solutions flashed through her mind, and finally she spoke.
"My Lord, please make the decision for me. I have no choice but to say this."
She was in tears and threw herself on Su Chengye without caring about the risk of being beaten.
Su Chengye was slightly startled and pushed the person away. "You did such a shameless thing, and you still have the nerve to let me make the decision for you?"
Concubine Zeng didn't care about anything else and knelt on the ground with a plop. "My Lord, the Sixth Young Master is indeed your own flesh and blood. I said this just now to reassure Taoist Yuan, fearing that he might harm me."
"My Lord, can you give me a chance to make the final decision?"
Su Qingyu glanced at Concubine Zeng, then looked at Taoist Yuan with a puzzled expression. Could Concubine Zeng really turn the tables on someone caught in bed with an adulterer?
Yuan Daozheng was also confused and couldn't guess which of Aunt Zeng's words were true and which were false.
If Aunt Zeng had no children, Su Chengye would not listen to a word she said and would directly sell her out or beat her to death.
But when it comes to the child, he dare not be careless, so he said in a cold voice: "Speak now, I will listen to your excuses."
Aunt Zeng went over what she was going to say in her head before she said, "This Taoist Priest Yuan, when he came to the Su family to perform a ritual before, the way he looked at me was not right."
"Then one time, he drank too much and... he tried to force himself on me. I was afraid it would get out of hand, so I coaxed him into drinking more and pretended to have sex with him."
"In fact, I am innocent, and the child is yours."
"If you don't believe me, you can ask me if what I said is true."
After she finished speaking, she turned her head and looked at Taoist Yuan meaningfully, as if warning him to think carefully about what to say.
Taoist Yuan certainly knew that what Aunt Zeng said was false, but he didn't dare to gamble. What if the child was his?
Just like Aunt Zeng said, the child’s future and wealth are the most important things.
He moved the corners of his lips and said, "Is what Aunt Zeng said true? I was drunk that day, I thought..."
Concubine Zeng heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, he hasn't appeared since that time, and I didn't tell the Marquis. He came in again today, and I was afraid he might harm me, so I made up a lie to appease him."
Su Chengye was skeptical, secretly hoping that what Aunt Zeng said was true, but he was also afraid of being deceived.
I thought about it over and over again, but I still couldn't figure out what to do.
These two people are easy to deal with. He can decide whether to beat or kill them, but what about the children?
Seeing this, Su Qingyu stepped forward and said, "Father, the matter of bloodline cannot be confused. Why don't you ask Mr. Zhou to come over? We have to get to the bottom of this matter."
Su Chengye's sterilizing medicine was administered by Su Qingyu, so she knew in her heart that the child must be Taoist Yuan's.
Su Chengye immediately said, "That's a good idea. Go and invite Mr. Zhou."
Su Qingyu turned around and told Feicui to go back to the house and ask someone to come over.
Aunt Zeng didn't know who Mr. Zhou was, but looking at the expressions of Su Qingyu and Su Chengye, she felt inexplicably panicked.
Afterwards, everyone left the inner room and went to the hall on the side.
Soon, Mr. Zhou followed Feicui in.
Su Chengye ordered someone to bring the child over.
Mr. Zhou didn't say much and went straight to the verification of the three people's relationship.
After the examination, Mr. Zhou said, "This child and this Taoist priest are biological father and son, and have no blood relationship with the Marquis."
Mr. Zhou was no longer surprised by these secrets of wealthy families, especially after he developed the art of verifying paternity, such things became common.
He had no intention of getting involved in these matters, so he turned and left after saying this.
Su Chengye was so angry that he was shaking all over. He was almost deceived by this bitch again.
This time he lost control and took two steps forward and kicked Aunt Zeng.
After kicking Aunt Zeng, he glared at Taoist Yuan in anger.
Taoist Yuan took two steps back and said, "My Lord, please don't be impulsive. I was just confused for a moment."
He really didn't dare to act arrogantly with Su Chengye in the Su family, even though he was not a servant of the Su family and Su Chengye had no right to beat or kill him.
But if he angered Su Chengye and took his life directly, his death would be in vain.
No one would condemn the Marquisate for the death of a Taoist priest, especially since they have a son who has been crowned a king and a son-in-law who holds a high position of power.
Su Chengye really wanted to kill this stinky Taoist priest with one sword.
Su Yuanzhou still had some use for Taoist Yuan, so he stepped forward and asked, "Father, what are you going to do with him?"
Su Chengye said coldly, "Take them all out and beat them to death, otherwise I will never be able to get rid of the hatred in my heart."
Su Yuanzhou looked at the child and said, "What do you plan to do with this child? Unless it is a life-or-death revenge for the annihilation of the clan, the crime will not be passed on to the descendants."
This is also an unwritten rule in the capital.
Su Chengye snorted, "Sending him to the temple can save his life."
Su Yuanzhou thought for a moment and said, "My son just got married, and the Su family doesn't want to see bloodshed. Why not sell Concubine Zeng and give the child to Taoist Yuan to take home and raise."
"Of course, Master Yuan will have to pay a price for what he did. Just give him thirty strokes of the cane, and let us wipe out all grudges."
He wanted to use Aunt Zeng to restrain Taoist Yuan, and then find Zhang Tianshi through Taoist Yuan.
He had been thinking about it over and over again these days, and always felt that there was some unspeakable secret in that dark room.
