Chapter 93: Her? A Fake
Gu Chengyan instructed the servant, "Go and spread the news that Wei Qiming is Lin Xingyao's adulterer. Remember, make sure everyone knows about it."
The servant quickly responded, "Yes, sir, I will see to it." After that, he accepted the order and left.
Gu Chengyan stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the direction the servant left, frowning slightly. What kind of leverage did Wei Qiming have on Lin Xingyao?
If he knew, Prince Yong's Mansion might also be of use to him...
As night falls, the moon quietly climbs up the branches, casting a cool light.
In Hongmeng Courtyard, Song Ruyan hurried into the house. Without even taking a breath, she hurriedly said, "Young Madam..."
Allen Chu was sitting at the table. She reached out and poured her a cup of tea. "Don't be anxious. Talk slowly."
Song Ruyan didn't care about anything else. She reached out to take the teacup and took a big gulp.
Seeing this, Chu Ruohan quickly reminded: "Don't, it's hot!" But she was still a step too late.
As soon as the scalding hot tea touched Song Ruyan's throat, she felt as if it was burned by fire, and with a "puff" sound, she spat out all the tea in her mouth.
Her face was filled with pain, her features wrinkled together, and she kept fanning her mouth with her hands, coughing and saying, "Cough cough... It's burning me to death, it's burning me to death..."
Chu Ruohan handed her the handkerchief and scolded her, "Why are you so impatient?"
Song Ruyan finally caught her breath, calmed down a little, and raised her head.
"Besides the people we arranged to spread rumors about Lin Xingyao, there are other people outside who are also making a big fuss about it. What they are spreading is even more outrageous. They even say that the child in Lin Xingyao's belly is Wei Qiming's!"
Hearing this, Chu Ruohan turned the cup in her hand slightly, and ripples appeared in her heart.
She had long suspected that there was collusion between Lin Xingyao and Wei Qiming, but now this rumor made her feel very strange.
This doesn't make any sense at all!
If the child was really Wei Qiming's, why would she marry into the Anyang Marquis's Mansion?
Wouldn't it be more logical to marry directly into the Duke of Wei's mansion?
There must be something hidden here that she doesn't know about.
Chu Ruohan originally wanted to create some trouble for Lin Xingyao, but she didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain.
And who is behind this matter?
Her thoughts were in a tangled mess, and suddenly, a figure flashed through her mind - Gu Chengyan.
In the previous life, Lin Xingyao was Gu Chengyan’s legal wife and gave birth to a son for him.
It's possible that Gu Chengyan already knew that Lin Xingyao was pregnant before marriage...
Seeing Chu Ruohan remained silent for a long time, Song Ruyan couldn't help but ask, "Do you think the child in Lin Xingyao's belly is really that scumbag's?"
Song Ruyan's eyes were full of curiosity and confusion. In her opinion, all this was too weird.
Chu Ruohan put down the teacup in her hand, her eyes turned cold, "No matter whether this child is Wei Qiming's or not, we must make this matter a reality."
These two people are in cahoots with each other, so don't blame her for being cruel and ruthless.
Chu Ruohan narrowed her eyes slightly. "Go find a few storytellers in the city and have them make up a wonderful story. Tell them to spread it widely in teahouses and taverns. Make sure as many people know about it."
"Oh." Song Ruyan nodded and walked out.
She really couldn't understand why it was so troublesome?
Just kill him directly, it would save you a lot of trouble...
Wei Qiming has been recuperating in the mansion these days.
Gazing at the sky every day, trapped in this small world, he was almost going crazy.
Duke Wei was also afraid that Gu Junze would retaliate, so he didn't let him go out.
"Sit still."
Lady Wei walked into Wei Qiming's room.
"What are you doing?"
Wei Qiming was playing with a dagger in his hand out of boredom. He was startled by the sudden sound and his face was full of impatience.
The wife of the Duke of Wei walked up to him and lowered her voice very low: "Tell me the truth, do you have anything to do with the child in the belly of the young princess of Prince Yong's mansion?"
These days, rumors outside have been coming one after another, making her tremble with fear.
When Wei Qiming heard this, his heart skipped a beat. Who leaked this news?
Could it be that bitch?
But she shouldn't be that stupid, why would she ruin her own reputation?
"I'm asking you a question." Seeing that he hadn't said anything for a long time, the wife of the Duke of Wei became anxious and raised her hand to slap him hard.
Wei Qiming finally came to his senses, curled his lips and said nonchalantly, "So what if it's mine?"
He held his head high, looking fearless.
In his opinion, since he dared to do that, he had no intention of escaping. It just depended on whether Lin Xingyao dared to admit it.
"It's really you...you rebellious son." Lady Wei was so angry that she was shaking all over, pointing her finger at him, her lips trembling.
It was already troublesome enough to offend the Anyang Marquis' Mansion, and now we have to provoke the Yongwang Mansion.
The position of Prince Yong's Mansion in the court is extremely important. During the Rebellion of the Five Kings, the situation was complicated. Prince Yong's Mansion went against all odds and supported the current emperor to ascend the throne.
Over the years, the emperor has been extremely respectful to Prince Yong, and the entire Prince Yong's Mansion has been an influential force in the capital.
"Why should our Wei family's child be living outside? Wouldn't it have been better if you had married her back then?" Lady Wei looked at him with a frown.
In her opinion, the marriage between the two families is a strong alliance that can bring many benefits.
"Her? A fake..." Wei Qiming showed disdain on his face when he mentioned Lin Xingyao.
"What fake?" Lady Wei glared at him.
"Don't let your father know about this. If he finds out, he will definitely break your legs."
Wei Qiming waved his hand nonchalantly and snorted softly.
The old man just likes to scare people. Every time he does something, it's all talk and no action. When has he ever really broken his leg?
The wife of Duke Wei sighed helplessly, turned around and sat on the chair, but her eyes were still thinking about the unborn child in Lin Xingyao's belly.
Her grandson...
next day
The golden light shines on the towering palace in the capital.
The morning court had just ended and the ministers filed out, but the atmosphere between Prince Yong and Duke Wei was extremely tense.
Prince Yong was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and his usually deep eyes were now filled with anger, as if he wanted to bite him twice.
Duke Wei frowned, with a look of annoyance in his eyes.
The two walked side by side, but deliberately kept a distance and neither looked at the other.
"Hmph!" Prince Yong was the first to break the silence, snorting coldly, his tone full of disdain, "Duke Wei, you have raised a good son."
Prince Yong has only one daughter, whom he cherishes dearly. Now she is married and has an affair with the playboy of the Wei family.
The whole capital was spreading the news. Where could the Yong Palace put its reputation?
When Duke Wei heard this, he became furious.
