Chapter 196 The wife follows the husband and makes you angry
"How arrogant! I've really opened my eyes."
Old Fengjun immediately responded, stood up, poked the ground with the crutch in his hand, and stared at Chu Ruohan fiercely.
Before she could finish her words, she saw the guards from Anyang Marquis' Mansion coming out, carrying a shirtless man.
The man's body was covered in blood and his face was bruised and swollen so badly that he barely looked like a human.
But the old lady knew that he was her grandson-in-law.
Seeing this scene, Feng's eyes were bloodshot, "Husband..."
Seeing that she wanted to get up, Ma Fuhai immediately gave her a look.
So many people were watching. If Feng stood up, it would be disobeying orders, and he would have no way to explain to the emperor.
Several young eunuchs stepped forward and held Feng down tightly.
Chu Ruohan looked at the chaotic scene, a slight smile on her lips. "The security in the capital has been really bad these days. A thief broke into the Marquis's mansion in broad daylight. Fortunately, he was caught by my guards."
As soon as she changed the subject, she looked at Feng, a sly look flashing in her eyes, "How come, Madam Feng, do you know this person?"
Feng's eyes were red with anger. "This is my husband, Chu Ruohan, how dare you order people to beat up an imperial official?"
That look made him want to cut Chu Ruohan into pieces.
"What? This is Lieutenant General Feng?" Chu Ruohan feigned surprise, her face full of innocence. "Lieutenant General Feng left the military camp and came to my mansion to do these sneaky things?"
As she spoke, she shook her head slightly, and the puzzled expression on her face was very well-prepared.
Her words were undoubtedly slandering Lieutenant General Feng's reputation, but at this time Lieutenant General Feng was lying on the ground, not saying a word.
"It was me who asked him to come in..." Seeing this, Old Fengjun hurriedly explained, trying to save the situation.
But before she could finish her words, Chu Ruohan interrupted her mercilessly.
"The old lady also said 'please', but this thief suddenly broke in. Who knows who he is?"
"Is that you, Lieutenant General Feng?" Chu Ruohan turned to look at the man lying on the ground and asked knowingly.
Seeing that the man didn't respond, she immediately continued, "This thief doesn't admit it. It seems that Madam Feng has recognized the wrong person. Come, send him to the government office for a thorough interrogation."
As she spoke, she waved her hand, signaling the shadow guards to take Deputy General Feng away.
“No…”
When the old Lord heard this, he stood up anxiously and quickly ordered the servant beside him, "Quickly stop the man for me."
Upon hearing this, the servants of the Duke's Mansion immediately rushed forward, but they were no match for the Shadow Guards.
A man lifted Deputy General Feng and jumped onto the roof with a light tap of his toes.
After a few rises and falls, it disappeared without a trace, leaving behind only the stunned crowd and the old lord who was trembling with anger.
At this moment, she knew in her heart that Lieutenant General Feng could not avoid being imprisoned.
Old Fengjun, leaning on his cane, took two steps forward and asked, "What will you do to let my granddaughter go?"
Chu Ruohan smiled and spoke slowly, "Old Lord Feng, you're asking the wrong person. It's not that I won't let Madam Feng go, but the Feng family is plotting to destroy my innocence."
"This is the emperor's order, asking her to kneel here and atone for her sins. As for how long she should kneel, the old lord should go to the palace to ask the emperor."
As soon as these words were spoken, the people's discussions, which had stopped, began to heat up again.
"Oh, it turns out it was the emperor's decree. I was wondering why the Anyang Marquis' Mansion was so confident!" A fat woman's eyes widened.
A tall, thin woman nearby curled her lips. "Hmph, I knew it! This Feng looks like a decent person, but I didn't expect her to be so black-hearted. She actually plotted to destroy someone's innocence. Making her kneel is the least she can do!"
"That's right, a woman's innocence is so important. If she succeeds, the Crown Prince's wife will never be able to clear her name even if she jumps into the Yellow River."
"I think Feng must be restless in her daily life, and she might have done other immoral things!" The fat woman started again.
"That's right! People like this should be punished. Otherwise, who knows how many people they will harm!"
Everyone was whispering to each other, their eyes wandering back and forth over Feng. She felt like she was being stabbed in the back, and this time her reputation was truly ruined.
He could only stare at Chu Ruohan with hatred.
And the old Lord was also upset by these discussions...
"You...don't talk nonsense! It was just two maids who got confused and led us the wrong way that day."
"Now those two maids have been executed, and nothing has happened to you, yet you're still here, refusing to give in. You're truly a petty-minded merchant with no tolerance for others!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the discussion gradually shifted towards Feng.
"Yes, the maid made a mistake and was punished, but he still kept harping on her. That's really a bit excessive."
"After all, she is a merchant's daughter, not worthy of being in a refined household."
Chu Ruohan stood there quietly, listening to the discussions, her expression unchanged, she just raised her eyebrows.
This is not the first time that her background has been brought up.
The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she spoke calmly, "If it was really as simple as a maid leading someone astray, why would the emperor order Feng to kneel here?"
This sentence was like a thunderclap, instantly stopping the discussions in the courtyard.
Gu Junze looked at her profile, the corner of his mouth couldn't suppress the curve. It was the first time he saw her so unrestrained.
Every word was powerful and the counterattack was beautiful.
Old Fengjun was speechless after hearing this question. He turned around and looked at Gu Junze beside him in anger.
"She's really sharp-tongued. Your Highness, you just let her be so presumptuous? You don't even bother to discipline her."
Gu Junze shook his head and sighed pretentiously, "Ah, Old Lord Feng, you don't know, I have a weak body, brought from my mother's womb, and I have been taking medicine all the time since I was a child."
"Thanks to my wife's good care, I was able to stand up and walk around in this world."
After saying this, he covered his face with his handkerchief and coughed a few times, "Everything in this mansion, inside and out, depends on her."
"snort!"
How could she not hear that Gu Junze did it on purpose?
Old Lord Feng was so angry that he shook himself, his cheeks puffed up slightly. For a moment, he was at a loss as to what to do with the merchant's daughter.
"mother."
Madam Shan quickly supported the person. She couldn't let anything happen to her. The entire Duke Shan's Mansion still depended on the old lady for support!
"The old lady is already so old, yet the descendants in the mansion are still harassing her. It's really unfilial. Yuling, send the old lady back quickly and take good care of her." Chu Ruohan said.
"Yes." Yuling responded crisply.
The maids of Anyang Marquis's Mansion rushed forward, pushed Madam Shan aside, and supported the old lord on both sides.
Mrs. Shan stumbled and almost fell, "Hey, mother..."
But as soon as she took a step, she was stopped by two sturdy maids who stretched out their arms.
Her eyes widened, filled with anger. "What are you doing? Get out of here!"
