When Mu Peiyuan heard Dan Ruo's words which contained so much information, his eyes were filled with disbelief.
It's impossible. Ji Yong has always been obedient and polite. How could he sleep with his nominal concubine?
He walked out and saw the facts, and he had to admit it.
Ji Yong, who was tied up by two burly women, had already regained consciousness. He was so frightened that he lost all his soul. When he saw Mu Peiyuan, he burst into tears and snot:
"Uncle, please save me. I don't know why it became like this. It was this bitch who seduced me."
Lin Shushu's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and there were tiny cuts on the corners of her mouth from being rubbed by the paper, with traces of blood seeping out. She looked like she had been bullied.
She didn't say anything, but just stared at Mu Peiyuan and shook her head in despair.
Silence is better than words here.
At this time, Su and Mu Peilan arrived one after another.
Looking at the scene in front of her, Su's eyes went dark. Although Mu Peilan was frightened, she knew that the most important thing was to save her son.
Mu Peilan supported Su:
"Mother, Ji Yong came to the study room only after hearing your instructions. He must have fallen into a trap. Is there something unclean in the room? This cannot be blamed on Ji Yong. He is also a victim."
When Su was reminded by Mu Peilan, she immediately remembered the bowl of nourishing soup and asked someone to call the court doctor. She must put the blame on Lin Danruo for what happened today.
The soup she sent harmed Ji Yong. Not only could it save Ji Yong, but it could also allow the Lin family behind Lin Danruo to compensate Ji Yong with some resources.
After the court doctor arrived, he checked the house and found no trace or smell of aphrodisiacs.
Su reminded the court doctor to check the tonic soup, but the court doctor was puzzled:
"Madam, there's no sign that the tonic soup has been touched. It's definitely not the tonic's fault."
At this time, Mu Peiyuan knew that his mother had put medicine in the bowl of tonic soup brought by the servants from Danruoyuan.
He looked at Ji Yong suggestively:
"Yong'er, did you secretly drink the tonic soup on your uncle's table?"
Ji Yong was panicking at the moment. Why was he asking whether the soup was nourishing or not? Was it necessary for him to drink that stuff at such a young age?
But when my uncle asks me questions, I have to answer honestly:
"Yong'er didn't drink secretly."
Ji Yong was not sensible at all, and Mu Peiyuan had no idea what to do seeing how stupid he was.
Dan Ruo chuckled, "What could possibly go wrong with a bowl of nourishing soup that no one drank? Ji Yong is young and full of energy, so it's inevitable that he would get confused when he saw the young and beautiful Aunt Shu."
Lin Shushu also knew at this moment that between Ji Yong and herself, the old lady would definitely give up her.
She crawled to her knees at her elder sister's feet, begging her to save her. They were all daughters of the Lin family, and if one suffered, all would suffer.
Dan Ruo gently stroked her head, but there was no emotion in her eyes: "Sister Di will make the decision for you."
Mu Peiyuan said with a dark face: "Lin Danruo, you are now the daughter-in-law of my Mu family, so naturally you have to put the interests of the Mu family first.
We will keep this matter secret in our own house, and then Ji Yong will not be affected. We will lock Lin Shushu in the house and pretend that this matter never happened."
But Lin Shushu knew that Mu Peilan would definitely kill her secretly.
She held onto Danruo's skirt tightly. Danruo heard the noise outside and smiled at Mu Peiyuan:
"It's too late. Lord Su, the Jingzhao Yin, has already arrived."
Mu Peilan grabbed Dan Ruo and started to fight, "How dare you report me to the police, you bitch!"
Dan Ruo grabbed her arm and gave her a gentle push, causing Mu Peilan to fall to the ground. Dan Ruo's face was filled with disbelief:
"My sister tried to hit me, and I blocked her, and she fell to the ground. This is a scam. Lord Su, please judge this."
Mu Peilan felt a lot of pain in her tailbone from the fall, and was even blamed by others. But none of this mattered to her now. What mattered was her son.
Mu Peiyuan ordered the butler to detain Lord Su, and then felt that he really underestimated his new wife. Lord Su was notoriously stubborn and would not close a case until there was a result.
But he knew that Lord Su had a good relationship with his father-in-law Lin Cenyi, and only Dan Ruo could come forward today to make Lord Su make some concessions.
“I wonder, Madam, how can we let Ji Yong go.”
Dan Ruo prepared paper and pen, "Please also ask the Prime Minister to write a letter of divorce. From now on, the man and the woman will have nothing to do with each other."
Mu Peiyuan's expression froze. He thought Danruo would force him to consummate the marriage with her and give her a child, but he didn't expect that she would actually leave him.
Su and Mu Peilan stared at Mu Peiyuan eagerly, hoping that he would quickly agree to drive this troublemaker away.
Jin Chuan and Lin Shushu were incredulous, but they didn't dare to speak in such a situation.
Mu Peiyuan had a lot of thoughts in his mind. Only half a month after the emperor granted the marriage, he wrote the divorce letter.
No matter what the reason for the divorce is, it will give those people who are eyeing my position a chance to report me, and it will also make the emperor dissatisfied with me.
What's more, a few days ago, the eunuch beside the emperor and Lin Cenyi sent a parrot to Danruo.
Even when Dan Ruo fell ill, the emperor took notice, let alone the divorce for no reason in a short period of time. He could not let his official position be affected.
Because the queen wrote to him specifically two days ago, asking him if he was willing to help her, and of course he was willing.
Only if he stood at a higher position could he give her greater help.
He thought about it again and again, and shook his head amidst Su and Mu Peilan's eagerness:
"Madam, you're joking. This is a marriage granted by the Emperor. Why would I write a divorce letter? Yong'er made a mistake and he deserves to be punished."
Then Ji Yong, Lin Shushu, as well as Jin Chuan and Chang San who served as witnesses were taken away.
