Chapter 25 A complete joke



Wen Jingchi's eyes dimmed and he glanced sideways at the followers behind him.

"Your Majesty, I will check it now!"

During the morning court session at the foot of the Wenjing Pool, my subordinates had already arrived in person.

He took a look at the prince and others who were walking away, and immediately stepped forward to report: "Your Highness, we have found out that it was done by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Several beggars saw with their own eyes last night that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was wearing white clothes and walking behind you for a while."

Wen Jingchi was not surprised by this result, and a hint of contempt ignited in his eyes.

After leaving the palace, I deliberately chose the busiest street and happened to run into Shen Mubai.

"Jing Chi, I heard that you and Chu Weiyue attended the Qiqiao Festival together last night. Is this true? Some people in the capital also said that you two have been together for a long time. What's going on?"

The voice he used was not too loud, but loud enough for people nearby to hear.

These words made Wen Jingchi chuckle with disdain: "Only fools would believe such gossip. It's just a trick by someone to deliberately frame me and destroy my reputation!"

"Chu Weiyue and I just happened to meet last night. I felt that she was unsafe alone, so I sent her home. If I really had an affair with her, with her personality, wouldn't she have sued the emperor and asked me to take responsibility?"

This explanation caused an uproar among the crowd.

Considering Chu Weiyue's infatuated pursuit in the past, most people believed this statement.

Chu Weiyue slept very late last night, and only got out of bed in a daze when the sun was high in the sky the next day.

Now that we have moved to a new yard, everything is the best and I can sleep very comfortably. I stretched out my body comfortably and the little maid helped me wash up.

As soon as I walked out of the courtyard, I saw Chu Lingfeng walking towards me with a sullen face.

"Brother, what happened?" Chu Weiyue approached him and asked.

After staring at Chu Weiyue with something to say but stopping himself, Chu Lingfeng dragged her to a deserted place.

"Tell me the truth, what happened between you and Wen Jingchi last night? Where did you go? Why are there rumors everywhere in the capital that you two have..."

He really couldn't bring himself to say the following words, so he could only sigh in frustration: "Tell me, brother, is this true or false?"

After a slight pause, Chu Weiyue couldn't help but burst into laughter, pretending to be angry and puffed out his chest: "Brother, don't you even trust my character?"

"It's not that I don't trust you, it's that I trust you too much, so I think this is almost certainly true! Everyone knows that you love Wen Jingchi. If he nods in agreement, I don't believe you will refuse."

Although he was not a woman, he knew his own sister well. She had always been chasing after Wen Jingchi in the past. How could she possibly refuse such a good opportunity?

In this way, she could openly blackmail Wen Jingchi into marrying her.

Chu Weiyue's face darkened with resentment: "Brother, what are you talking about? How could I be such an unreserved person? He and I just met, and we don't have any illicit relationship!"

"Are you serious? Do you dare to swear to heaven?"

Chu Weiyue rolled her eyes and immediately raised her hand, ready to make a vicious oath, but fortunately Chu Lingfeng was quick to stop her.

The heart that had been hanging in the air was finally at ease.

"That's good. I'm worried that you'll go astray. If a woman has anything to do with a man beforehand, it means she's lowering her status. No matter how much you like a man, you have to leave yourself some room and keep your dignity. Do you understand?"

All in all, Chu Lingfeng always had doubts about Chu Weiyue.

Before she finished listening to his words, Chu Weiyue covered her ears and pretended to be impatient.

"Brother, please stop talking. Wen Jingchi and I really just met and went for a walk together. Song Qiuchang and Shen Mubai were also there."

Chu Lingfeng had heard everything about these two people, so he let her go.

He gently stroked Chu Weiyue's head, and without saying anything else, took her to the front hall for dinner.

Just after finishing breakfast, the craftsman in charge of repairing my mother's tomb came to report that the repair work has been completed. According to the rules, they will go to worship together today.

Prepare incense, candles, gold ingots, and various sacrificial items and prepare to set off.

As the original couple, the Marquis naturally has to be together.

When they arrived at the door and were about to get on the carriage, Song and Chu Ranxin stood in front of them.

"My Lord, you are all going to worship my sister, why can't you let me go? As her younger sister, I should go to worship her, otherwise what will the servants say about me? Just let me go with you!"

In order to show her feelings, she took out the things she had prepared.

Glancing at her basket, Chu Weiyue clicked her tongue in pleasure, thinking that no one was better than this old woman at putting on a good show!

I didn't want to waste time talking to them, so I took the mother and daughter with me.

The tomb was renovated in a grand manner, completely in accordance with the specifications of court officials.

Gazing from afar, Chu Weiyue felt a trace of sadness in her heart. She didn't receive such treatment when she was alive. Even if she received these after death, what meaning would it have to the original owner's mother?

At this time, his men had already started burning things.

He knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and personally burned a stick of incense to the original owner's mother.

Chu Lingfeng said a few words and kowtowed a few times, completing the worship.

Song cried loudly and kept wiping her eyes. She looked extremely heartbroken.

The marquis next to him had red eyes, lowered his head and said nothing, looking very sad.

Chu Weiyue glanced at them secretly and sneered with disdain.

The man that the original owner's mother loved all her life was a complete joke. This man never loved her at all from beginning to end, and even his sadness was so fake.

The Song mother and daughter were not in a hurry to leave. After taking a look at the exquisite tomb, Chu Ranxin quietly approached her mother to complain.

"Mother, this mausoleum is so well built, I wonder how much money it cost."

Song snorted in dissatisfaction: "What can we do? My son has done a great deed. But how can a dead person win over a living person? No matter how decent the event is, she can't see it or enjoy it."

Just like the woman sleeping in the ground, the man she has loved all her life is now in her pocket and is with her day and night, so she is still the final winner!

Turning back slightly, they happened to see Chu Weiyue standing behind them, his whole body burning with anger, and his face changed drastically in an instant.

Song smiled awkwardly: "Don't get me wrong, we didn't say anything. I just think my sister's life was too hard and she passed away before she could enjoy it properly..."

As expected of an old fox, Song was cunning and cruel. His eyes immediately turned red and he was heartbroken.

Considering that this is the tomb of the original owner's mother, Chu Weiyue did not have any conflict with them. This is also a respect for the deceased.

He glared at them coldly and scolded them in disgust: "Even if my mother is gone, her mausoleum is much better than that of ordinary people. The wife is the wife, and she can never be compared with some concubines. If the concubines are gone in the future, at most they will be just a small mound next to it!"
