Ashamed that the prescription was effective but he didn't tell others, and annoyed that he appeared as a knight but was actually a conspiracy!
"What exactly do you want to do by bringing me here today?" Tai Banxue looked at the few people with a serious expression, somewhat wary.
Zou Yangyao took the initiative to question, "You spread rumors about this general's wife, causing her to suffer greatly from the rumors. Even though it's our wedding day, we can't be together. What do you think I should do to you?"
Tai Banxue swept away her previous guilt, a look of sarcasm on her face. "This matter was clearly decided by the Queen Mother, yet you blame it on me? Do you think I, Tai Banxue, am easy to bully?"
"You have caused my wife to be troubled by rumors. Now everyone is laughing at her, laughing at her for losing her virginity on her wedding night. This also makes people laugh at me, the general. Doesn't your conscience hurt?" Zou Yangyao drank some wine, his expression full of resentment.
Tai Banxue didn't say a word. She had indeed confessed everything.
Duan Gouqiong asked curiously, "So why did you bring her here today? What exactly do you want to do with her?"
Before Zou Yangyao could open his mouth, Tai Banxue spoke first: "Haven't I been running back and forth to various storytelling venues recently? Haven't I been trying to find a way to change the rumors? Can't you give me a little more time?"
Facing Tai Banxue's questioning, Zou Yangyao felt only mockery. He snorted coldly and slammed his palm on the table. "Then you know that the Queen Mother, believing the rumors and believing Chu'er was unfaithful, has detained her in the palace and cannot let her out!"
"You heard it at the palace banquet. The Prince Regent forced Chu'er to do it again. He humiliated us time and time again. And those ministers laughed at me and Chu'er in private. Isn't this all because of you?"
Tai Banxue felt extremely depressed after hearing Zou Yangyao's words. "I wasn't at the wedding that day. Even if I didn't add fuel to the flames, others would have used it to spread the rumors. Even if you hate me, you can't change anything. And I'm also trying my best to turn this around. There's no point in you blaming me!"
Tai Banxue stood in front of the three people, looking quite righteous and confident, feeling that she was truly wronged.
Shao Lecheng coughed aside and said, "So, General Zou, now that the person is here, tell me what you want to do!"
Zou Yangyao responded: "Let Tai Banxue admit publicly that she was the one who deliberately spread the rumor. This is the fastest way to resolve all the rumors!"
Tai Banxue bit her lip, her face pale. "What if I don't cooperate?"
At first, she was secretly glad that Ni Yueshan had not asked her to do so, but now... Zou Yangyao took the initiative to ask for it.
"Don't cooperate? That's easy, just die!" Zou Yangyao said it very lightly, but he didn't mean to be joking at all, as if he would really do that.
Tai Banxue's face turned a little pale. She said nothing, her expression cold and calm.
Duan Gouqiong raised his wine glass and said, "Alas, you will suffer the consequences of your own actions. Since you sincerely repent, then you should admit your mistakes as quickly and sincerely as possible. Only in this way can the reputation of those you have harmed be restored sooner."
Tai Banxue took a deep breath. "If Xiao Chu'er had truly been innocent of the Prince Regent's affair that day, why would the Prince Regent have approached her again at the palace banquet? Humph, rumors are merely spreading the truth, not distorting it. That's not a rumor; it's spreading the truth!"
Tai Banxue's words sounded too righteous, and her arrogant attitude made Zou Yangyao frown tightly. He smashed the wine glass in his hand towards Tai Banxue. Tai Banxue screamed, and blood oozed from her forehead.
She stared at Zou Yangyao with wide eyes: "You, you actually..."
Zou Yangyao looked at her coldly and said, "Tomorrow, at this time, if you don't come forward and admit your mistake in person, I will kill you."
"Okay, if you can kill me, then go ahead!" After saying that, Tai Banxue turned and walked out, as if she was really not afraid that Zou Yangyao would kill her.
Duan Gouqiong, who was standing by, asked curiously, "If you want to kill someone, there's no need to say it out loud. After all, she's the granddaughter of the Shangshu Mansion. You're being too direct!"
Zou Yangyao ignored Duan Gouqiong, clenched his fists tightly, and slammed them hard on the table, causing cracks to appear on the solid stone table.
After Tai Banxue left the general's mansion, her tense nerves relaxed.
I thought I would lose my life in the general's mansion this time, but luckily I got out of it.
She looked back, her expression full of sadness.
The next day, Zou Yangyao went to court as usual. After the court session, Jing Yuchen took the initiative to approach him and said, "General Zou, there is something I need you to do outside the city."
Zou Yangyao's face was gloomy, and he showed no respect to Jing Yuchen. "What's the matter?"
Jing Yuchen said calmly: "Outside the city, Zuo Ying's grave needs to be renovated."
Zou Yangyao frowned tightly and said nothing.
Jing Yuchen patted his shoulder and said, "What are you thinking about? That person died because of you. Madam may have forgiven you a little before, but that doesn't mean that person didn't die because of you. So you have to go in person."
Zou Yangyao waved Jing Yuchen's arm away unhappily, "Got it!"
After returning to the general's mansion and having lunch, Zou Yangyao set out for the outside of the city.
When he walked to Zuo Ying's grave, he vaguely felt a murderous aura nearby?
With doubts in his heart, he slowed down his pace. After he was sure of the feeling, he took the initiative to speak: "Why hide and come out!"
The person hiding in the dark didn't hesitate, raised the weapon in his hand and rushed towards Zou Yangyao!
Zou Yangyao took a few steps back and asked, "Who are you? Why are you lying in ambush here?"
