Chapter 50 The Scandal Can No Longer Be Covered Up
"I let the snake bite him to death just to become a widow." Chu Ruohan's words completely brought everyone back to their senses from their surprise.
yes.
As long as Gu Junze is alive, Chu Ruohan will firmly sit on the position of the Crown Prince's wife.
She must be crazy to murder her husband.
How could a widow without sons or daughters, who had no one to rely on for the rest of her life, be so foolish as to cut off her own path?
"Huaishu, Huaishu, is the master behind you so impatient?"
The low, cold voice echoed in Huaishu's ears, with a hint of sarcasm, making him lower his head even lower.
"Last time, in a panic, you used Fu'an as an excuse, believing that Gu Junze would trust you."
Chu Ruohan walked towards Huai Shu step by step, "But Fu'an left the Marquis' Mansion two months ago. Could it be that his spirit left his body and came back to find you?"
Chu Ruohan had felt that this name was familiar before. In her previous life, she was mistreated by the servants and was hungry all day long. Fu'an felt sorry for her and gave her two white flour cakes.
He was a filial son. His old mother had always been frail and sickly, and he relied on his meager salary in the marquis's mansion to barely support her by prescribing medicine for her treatment.
Two months ago, his mother's condition worsened, so Fu'an asked for leave from the mansion, which was approved by Aunt Zhao.
Everyone was confused. How could there be a last time?
Huaishu groaned inwardly, gritting his teeth and saying, "Young Madam, stop quibbling. You should have married the Second Young Master, but he preferred a maid to you, so you married the Crown Prince instead."
Although Marquis Anyang tried his best to cover up this scandal, everyone in the room knew it.
But now, a servant has broken this window paper.
Anyang Hou was seething with rage, and his gaze towards Huai Shu was a little colder.
Huaishu continued stubbornly, "Young Madam, you've always despised the Crown Prince for being a paraplegic, and you've been venting all your resentment on him..."
After hearing this, Chu Ruohan just smiled lightly, her beautiful eyes full of sarcasm.
Chu Ruohan interrupted him directly, "Huai Shu, do you think you can slander me with just a few words like this?"
"Let me guess, everyone is here to catch me cheating!" Chu Ruohan's eyes swept over them one by one, and finally stopped at Gu's mother's face.
"If the person on the bed was me, and Huaishu, who is now beside Gu Junze, said these words, then I would be convicted of conspiring with the adulterer to murder Gu Junze."
"A woman who commits adultery and murders her husband is doomed to die, right?"
Mother Gu felt a little uncomfortable under Chu Ruohan's gaze, but she still pretended to be calm and said, "If you are truly innocent, the Marquis' Mansion will definitely not wrongly accuse you."
Chu Ruohan sneered, and her eyes fell on Huai Shu again, this time with obvious threats: "Huai Shu, who is your master?"
Huaishu's body trembled slightly, but he refused to utter a single word: "Young Madam, I just told the truth. I didn't receive any instructions from my master."
Chu Ruohan approached him and lowered her voice, "Let's see how long you can keep your stubbornness."
"Yuling!"
Yuling walked into the house with a maid, and the maid fell to her knees with a plop as soon as she entered the house.
Isn’t this the maid who just reported that Chu Ruohan was having an affair with a man in the room?
"My Lord, it was Madam Marquis who instructed me to release the poisonous snakes into Hongmeng Courtyard and Zizhu Pavilion." As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked and turned their eyes to Mother Gu.
There was a hint of panic in Gu's mother's eyes. She really had no one else to use, so she handed the matter over to Qingxue.
Isn't she from Cheng'an? How could she betray so quickly?
"You lowly slave, stop talking nonsense! It's a serious crime to slander your master!"
"The Marquis's wife said that as long as the Crown Prince dies, the Second Young Master will become the Crown Prince, and the Marquis's wife is also planning to send a man into the Young Madam's room."
Everyone suddenly realized that behind all this was the stepmother killing her stepson and framing her daughter-in-law.
As a result, he was killed in return.
"You slut, how dare you slander me? Come, drag her away!" Mother Gu's voice was sharp, but none of the servants moved.
At this time, Song Ruyan threw in a man who was tied up.
The man was beaten so badly that his face was bruised and swollen, and he couldn't even open his eyes. "I was just following orders. The Marquis gave me a large sum of money and asked me to cooperate with her plan. I really didn't dare to disobey."
"Madam Hou said that if I follow her arrangements, I will be rewarded handsomely after the success. She will send me away from the capital and fly far away."
"I haven't accomplished anything..." She started to cry as she spoke. This woman was too cruel.
His little baby seems to be cracked. Will he be able to have children in the future?
Veins bulged on Marquis Anyang's forehead, his eyes widened, and he stared at Mother Gu.
After today's farce, the Marquis' Mansion has lost all its reputation and dignity.
Became a joke.
Steward Ma watched this farce with a cold eye. "How could such a dignified mansion have so many dirty things? I will report today's events to the emperor truthfully."
Marquis Anyang was completely panicked. Although this incident was the fault of Gu's mother alone, if the emperor investigated, the entire marquisate would be implicated.
He pointed at Gu's mother and cursed, "You vicious woman, you are so cruel, the Gu family can no longer tolerate you."
Seeing that the matter had been exposed, Mother Gu knelt on the ground with a plop and crawled to the front of Marquis Anyang on her knees.
"My Lord, I am also doing this for our son. Junze is a paraplegic, how can he shoulder the future of the Marquisate? I am doing all this for the good of the Marquisate."
"Come here," Marquis Anyang called his servant.
"Imprison the lady in a side courtyard. No one is allowed to visit her without my order. I will investigate this matter thoroughly. If there are any accomplices, they will not be spared."
"No need," Chu Ruohan said loudly, "I've already reported it to the authorities, and the Jingzhao prefect will be here to arrest him soon."
Marquis Anyang still wants to suppress this matter and minimize public opinion?
No way.
Mother Gu fell to the ground, the charge of murdering her stepson weighed on her, and she was finished.
There was no more Nanny Wang who could take the blame for her.
But as if she had thought of something, she suddenly shouted, "Gu Junze is dead, the throne of the crown prince can only be my son! Everything I did was just to follow the trend of the times. The glory of this mansion cannot be destroyed by a paralytic!"
There was madness and despair in her eyes, her hair was disheveled, and she had completely lost her usual dignity.
"Hahaha……"
"I'm afraid I'll disappoint you." Chu Ruohan said in a cold voice.
Mother Gu stopped her crazy laughter instantly, her expression froze, and she stared at her intently, "What did you say?"
"I said you would be disappointed." Chu Ruohan raised her chin slightly, and a hint of imperceptible pleasure flashed in her eyes.
Behind everyone, Ying Qing pushed Gu Junze and slowly walked out of the inner hall.
Mother Gu looked as if she had seen a ghost. Her eyes widened instantly and she pointed at Gu Junze. It took her a long time to utter a complete sentence.
"You...you're not dead, how is that possible?"
