Chapter 84: A Good Move of Sacrificing the Rook to Save the King
Aunt Liu stared blankly and turned her head mechanically, only to find that there was a man lying beside her.
"Ah!!!" A shrill scream came from the side room, and everyone had complicated expressions.
"Madam, madam, I didn't do it. I am wronged." Aunt Liu didn't care that she was only wearing a bellyband and rolled out of bed.
It was winter and the rain was dripping outside. It was extremely cold inside the house. When Aunt Liu's exposed skin came into contact with the cold air, she immediately got goose bumps, but she seemed to feel nothing.
Aunt Liu's eyes were full of panic. She didn't even stand up. She crawled to the old lady, pulled her trouser legs, and begged for mercy humbly.
When the men present saw Aunt Liu like this, they immediately turned their heads away.
"Aunt! Aunt!" Fortunately, Su Xin still had a trace of rationality. She quickly ran to the bed, picked up the fox fur, and prepared to put it on her mother.
However, when she met the familiar eyes of the man on the bed, she was stunned, and instantly realized that Su Yue had outmaneuvered her and her daughter.
"Madam, I was framed. I don't even know who is on the bed. How could I...could..."
Aunt Liu's beautiful eyes lost their usual charm, and were replaced by endless panic.
She was scared. She was fine before she fell asleep, but how come she was like this when she woke up? If the Prime Minister knew what happened tonight, even if she had ten lives, they would not be enough to kill her.
Su Xin wrapped her mother's exposed skin with fox fur.
"Hmph, you did a great job!" The old lady had a gloomy face and tried to shake off the hands on her legs, but Aunt Liu held them too tightly.
Catching a couple in bed together was already a family scandal, and it was even seen by two princes. It is said that family disgrace should not be made public, but not only was it made public, it was also seen by outsiders!
"My two princes, this is a family affair of our Prime Minister's Mansion. Please..." Seeing that the old lady's face was uncertain, Gu spoke to the two princes first, with a pleading tone.
"Since this is the Prime Minister's family affair, it is not appropriate for us two brothers to interfere. We can't help much by staying here, so we will go back."
Shangguan Nanxing and the other person were just about to go out when they heard a female voice behind them.
"My two princes, please keep today's events confidential." Gu bowed to the two of them and asked solemnly.
"Don't worry, Madam. No one from our Prince's Mansion saw anything today."
Shangguan Nanfeng and Shangguan Nanxing both restrained their expressions and looked serious. After all, if the news of the Prime Minister being cuckolded were to get out, it would be really embarrassing.
Before leaving, the two princes glanced at Su Yue at the same time. Under the light, Su Yue looked at Aunt Liu with a gloomy face, and no one knew what he was thinking.
So, only Aunt Liu was left in the room crying.
"Thank you for your hard work." The old lady saw that under such circumstances, Gu handled the matter calmly and remembered to maintain the reputation of the prime minister's mansion, and nodded with satisfaction. .
"What a daughter-in-law should do is to help Aunt Liu..." Gu looked at Aunt Liu who had collapsed on the ground crying, her face showing difficulty.
"Take him back, tie up this man as well, and hand them over to the prime minister for punishment." The old lady looked at Aunt Liu with disdain. The crime of adultery was punishable by being thrown into a pig cage and drowned.
But she also knew that Aunt Liu was her son's favorite concubine, and she really didn't want to be a bad person.
"No, no, old lady, I am really wronged." When Aunt Liu heard that the prime minister was going to handle it, she became flustered.
Su Xin looked at Su Yue with resentment in her eyes. She had to find a way to help her aunt out of trouble.
So Su Yue and others returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion overnight.
In the Zhiqing Hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Prime Minister Su was awakened by a servant. Now his face was livid as he looked at the kneeling man and woman.
He could never have imagined that just going to Yuanyin Temple to pray for blessings would cause such a big trouble.
'Snap! 'The fine bone china cup that I had just replaced a few days ago was smashed to pieces by the Prime Minister.
"Bitch, what's wrong?" Prime Minister Su looked at Aunt Liu and wanted to kill her. This man hated being cuckolded the most.
"Master, I am innocent." Aunt Liu's eyes were red at this time, and her beautiful eyes had already dried up with tears.
He who had previously shouted at the old lady to grant his and Aunt Liu's blessing now tightened his neck, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Prime Minister Su looked at him with murderous eyes, and he was really afraid that his life would be in danger at the next moment.
"It's unfair. Tell me what injustice there is. This man has been arrested!" Prime Minister Su looked at the bald and greasy monk in front of him and was furious.
Although I may not be handsome, at least I am better than this monk. Is this Aunt Liu blind?
"Prime Minister, I..." Aunt Liu wanted to explain.
"Okay, I don't want to listen anymore. Aunt Liu and this monk should both be beaten to death." Prime Minister Su held his head, obviously having been so angry that he had lost his mind.
"Ah?" Wuguo was frightened and panicked. He was greedy for money and didn't want to make money but not spend it.
When Su Yue heard her father's words, her expression changed. Her father really could not tolerate even a grain of sand in his eyes. No wonder he was so cruel to her mother who had lost her innocence in the previous life.
"Father! My aunt is innocent!" Su Xin panicked when she heard that her mother was going to be beaten to death.
"If you say it's unjust, then it's unjust. Do you have any evidence?" When Prime Minister Su heard Su Xin's shouting, he thought it was just because she was eager to protect her mother and didn't care.
"Yes, I spent one thousand taels of silver to frame this man for my sister, but I never thought that he would end up in my aunt's bed."
Su Xin took a deep breath and told the whole story. If she failed to frame someone, at most she would be punished by the family rules.
When Su Yue heard this, a hint of interest flashed in her eyes. Her sister was not stupid. It was a good move for her to tell the truth and save Aunt Liu.
"What?! You framed your sister?" Prime Minister Su looked at Su Xin, then at Su Yue, and was obviously confused by what Su Xin said.
"Yes, regarding the Imperial Garden incident, I was resentful that my sister didn't help me with all her strength and instead made me look bad, so I wanted to make her look bad once."
Su Xin made up her mind and directly explained the whole story, and even handed over the correspondence with Wu as evidence.
This self-confession really opened the eyes of everyone present.
"Wuguo, is what Su Xin said true?" After reading the letter, Prime Minister Su's expression relaxed and he asked Wuguo with uncertainty.
Everyone present was a smart person and could naturally hear the Prime Minister's softening tone. It seemed that compared to the humiliation of their daughter, being cuckolded was something they could not tolerate.
"Yes, it's true." Wuguo was so frightened by the beating he had just received. Now that he saw there was still room for turnaround, of course he told everything.
"Then why did you run into Aunt Liu's room again?!" Prime Minister Su was certainly not stupid. He knew something must have happened.
