Chapter 319: The Lady of the Marquisate vs. the Younger Prince 62
Liang Wanzhou waved his hand, and the followers who were smashing the door stopped.
He looked Yuan Hui up and down and sneered, "You really are born with a pretty face. There are so many female pilgrims in Fuguang Temple. God knows what you are doing in there that no one can see!"
"You stupid Buddhist temple, I think you are just a den of whoredom! Come here! Take down this lecherous monk and put him in a pig cage tomorrow!"
Yuan Hui was anxious and angry, his face flushed red, "You...what nonsense are you talking about! Fuguang Temple is a national temple, you are talking nonsense and slandering the reputation of Fuguang Temple. I will report you to the authorities for punishment."
The followers burst into laughter. "What official position do you want to report? My Lord is the highest official in the world, with connections everywhere. Even the emperor drinks and talks with my Lord, and they call each other brothers. What's a mere temple?"
"With just one word from the Marquis, I can tear down your broken temple and put you all in jail!"
Liang Wanzhou has become more and more arrogant these days, and dares to brag about anything. He has also seen a lot of the world with the old marquis, so his lies are very convincing and are enough to fool these people.
Everyone in the aristocratic circle knew that the emperor didn't like him very much, but ordinary people really thought that he was the emperor's confidant and could handle anything.
There was only a young monk by Yuanhui's side, who was no match for the brute force of these people and was soon pinned to the ground.
Yuan Hui was a little bit incredulous, "You are the Marquis of Xuanwu? If I remember correctly, you and Donor Ji are husband and wife. Since you are not enemies, why do you want to bring these questionable people here to block the way and slander Donor Ji's reputation?"
Liang Wanzhou has already determined that Yuanhui is the adulterer, otherwise why would he come out to speak for an unrelated woman.
He kicked Yuan Hui and shouted angrily, "You are such a stubborn person! Beat him! Beat him hard! Beat this lecherous monk until he tells the truth!"
Yuan Hui was kicked to the ground. Liang Wanzhou was weak and had little strength, so he was not injured.
He had lived in Fuguang Temple since he was a child. Pilgrims who came and went were always polite and courteous to him. He had never seen such ruffian behavior. The master occasionally called him stupid, but he was quite unconvinced and felt that he had profound knowledge of Buddhism and far surpassed others.
Today he finally realized his stupidity. He rushed over in a hurry, but not only did he fail to help Donor Ji, he also harmed Donor Ji.
The followers pulled Yuanhui up and were about to start fighting when the door of the inner room suddenly opened from the inside.
Ji Yunhuan had a gloomy face, and his deep eyes stared coldly at Liang Wanzhou, his tone calm and calm, "Stop it! Liang Wanzhou, have you had enough of making trouble? It would have been fine if you made trouble in the mansion, but you also ran to Fuguang Temple to make trouble. Don't you think Xuanwu Marquis's mansion is shameful enough?"
Liang Wanzhou finally met Ji Yunhuan. He hadn't had the chance to look at Ji Yunhuan carefully for a long time. Every time he looked at her quickly, Ji Yunhuan simply ignored him.
After a careful look today, he found that Ji Yunhuan was a little different. Her face was rosy and beautiful, and she became even more bright and charming. Although her face was cold, she still couldn't hide the feminine charm she exuded.
Liang Wanzhou gradually felt guilty under Ji Yunhuan's gaze, but he naturally refused to admit that he had acted recklessly, and shouted even louder:
"Sure enough, this monk is the adulterer! I have arrested him, and you are finally willing to show up!"
Ji Yunhuan's face showed no sadness or joy, as if nothing Liang Wanzhou said could affect her. She nodded slightly towards Master Yuanhui, "I'm really sorry that this matter has implicated you, Master. I will come to your house to apologize someday."
"Master Yuanhui is the direct disciple of the abbot. I have made an appointment with him to discuss Buddhist scriptures and doctrines. He asked me to pray for a talisman for my next life. If you don't believe me, feel free to ask. There are so many novice monks in Fuguang Temple who can prove my innocence."
Ji Yunhuan was so frank that Liang Wanzhou lost his momentum and could only argue: "Who knows if you two are in collusion and made up lies to deceive me? You are shameless and have an affair with me. There are monks in Fuguang Temple, so they will naturally support you, the adulterer!"
Shiqin mocked, "It's really strange. This is the first time I've seen someone insist on wearing a green hat on his head. If the Marquis hates the lady, just say it directly. Why bother with these irrelevant reasons?"
Mrs. Wu was so angry that she slammed the table and stood up. She limped over and said angrily, "Wanzhou, don't be fooled by her. Xiaohong is right. A young and handsome man has to make a wish in front of the Buddha. It must be this lecherous monk. If it's not him, it will be someone else."
"She's so reluctant to come out, there must be something fishy going on. We'll know once we go in and search!"
Ji Yunhuan took a step to the side and made way for the door. "Please, Lord, please search as much as you can. It would be best if you could find some evidence of a crime and then kill me on the spot. This would also help Lord Marquis fulfill his wish and marry a better Marquis' wife."
Liang Wanzhou suddenly felt a little flustered. He stood at the door and hesitated to move forward. He had a strong premonition that if he broke in today, everything would be over between him and Ji Yunhuan!
Wu rushed in without hesitation, and several followers followed her in. They searched the house and found some women's gold and silver jewelry, which looked very valuable. Apart from that, there was no trace of any man at all, let alone any adulterer.
The attendants were reluctant to take the lady's things, but Mrs. Wu was blinded by the money and put them all into her arms without any hesitation.
She glared at Ji Yunhuan and shouted, "You must have an adulterer! We were a step late, so you had to erase the traces in advance. Be careful, or you won't be so lucky next time."
Ji Yunhuan was so angry that he laughed. "It is said that catching an adulterer in bed is as good as catching a thief and taking away the stolen goods. The old lady has put such a big hat on me without any evidence. I dare not admit it. Why don't we go to the government to clarify and get to the bottom of this matter."
Wu roared, "What is there to investigate? It's obvious that you are guilty and hiding in there and refusing to come out. God knows where you hid your adulterer."
Ji Yunhuan cursed Jing Yu in her heart. She knew Jing Yu was peeking, and she cursed just for Jing Yu to hear.
This yard was not the one where he and Jing Yu made love. Jing Yu kept pestering her and she had no time to clean up the traces, so she had to move to another yard.
When she arrived at the new yard, Jing Yu followed her again and stuck to her and refused to leave. Seeing Liang Wanzhou rushing into the yard, she tried her best to persuade him and was forced to agree to many conditions before she coaxed the old man away.
If Jing Yu wants to go out, Liang Wanzhou's mob will definitely not be able to find him.
Ji Yunhuan sneered, "I didn't come out, not because I felt guilty, but because I was trying to save face for the old lady. Family disgrace should not be made public. Do you think the old lady will be satisfied if I reveal everything?"
Wu was bewildered. "What shame could I have done? You were the one who cheated on me and brought disgrace to the mansion. No matter how you try to explain yourself, today's incident is all your fault!"
Ji Yunhuan sighed, looking quite helpless, "Please trouble my second brother to bring the thief out. Things have come to this point. If I don't explain it clearly today, the old lady will definitely put the blame on me."
